Converting World of Greyhawk monsters

Let's do a plant, then. Huge, I guess?

 

[demiurge1138]

I might be willing to go up to Gargantuan.

 

[freyar]

The frost worm is Huge and 40 ft long, 5 feet wide vs this thing at 25 ft long, 10 ft wide. So why not start at Huge and advance to Gargantuan or even Colossal?

 

[Shade]

That sounds reasonable.

 

[freyar]

Ok, some abilities, then. How about Str 32, Dex 11, Con 26, Int 4, Wis 11, Cha 7? Just sort of guessing here...

 

[demiurge1138]

The mold spore being Con-based? Makes sense. Those ability scores are pretty good. Might raise Cha a bit. They're scary.

 

[freyar]

Yeah, I was thinking Con-based for the spores. I'd be ok with bumping Cha to 11, too.

 

[Shade]

Added to Homebrews.

 

[freyar]

Swallow whole in the original text is a little unusual for 3e; want to go with the usual Improved Grab?

 

[demiurge1138]

Yeah, improved grab + swallow whole. Those swallowing mechanics are pretty standard for 2e. Do we want to replace the acid damage with save or mold spores once swallowed?
