[QUOTE="full_moon_draw, post: 2777604, member: 8878"] [b]A few more thoughts - sorry if I "go on" a bit!![/b] [B]Whoops[/B] Hadn't realise that we were giving preference to the oldest version!!! Otherwise I'd have converted that one instead of the newer one! Sorry - my bad! it must have been on one of the MANY pages of this thread that I skipped :uhoh: [B]Bits & Pieces[/B] 1. Yeap, I'd certainly agree with taking across the attack defence modes! Forgot about that one :o I'm not 100% sure about giving the [COLOR=DarkOrange]"standard"[/COLOR] baku ALL the powers that the original description details - I mean, it does kind of infer that not ALL baku have these capabilities. 2. Question: Where do the descriptions of [COLOR=DarkOrange]"Animal telepathy"[/COLOR] & [COLOR=DarkOrange]"Shape alteration"[/COLOR] come from? My minds melting tonight & I can't remember :confused: 3. How do you propose to cope with translating the original [COLOR=DarkOrange]"pool of power points"[/COLOR] plus [COLOR=DarkOrange]"psionic powers"[/COLOR]? I can well understand you not wanting to take the Elder Brain/Solar route - this is after all not a creature as [COLOR=DarkOrange]"legendary"[/COLOR] as these two! 4. However, to not give it a pool of power points to [COLOR=DarkOrange]"run"[/COLOR] these abilities [COLOR=DarkOrange]("psionic abilities"[/COLOR] rather than [COLOR=DarkOrange]"psi-like abilities"[/COLOR]?) does rather seem to limit the creature - but on the other hand making them all [COLOR=DarkOrange]"at will"[/COLOR] does seem to give it an advantage that it didn't have in the original write up! 5. May be it would (on reflection) be the most accurate conversion to actually treat it as able to manifest as a 12th level psion (or wilder?) & give it the power points it's stats & manifester level would indicate? - it's a tuff call, depends how close to the original one wishes to stick - [COLOR=DarkOrange]"closer the better" [/COLOR] in my books :) Your call folks - just putting in my 5c worth!
