D&D Minis update from Gamer Radio Zer0 #28

Those are ability check modifiers IIRC. Those have level factored in in some manner.

You beat me to it! But that's what I figured.

With SWSE skills, they advance at a rate of 1/2 level. If you subtract 9 from the ice devil's stat bonuses, you get the 3E stat bonus values. So maybe it's level 18?

What the heck is going on with the ability score modifiers (if those *are* modifiers)?

From the reproduction of the Ice Archon on the news page it looks like they are redefining the score & modifier scale as

Ability Score == Modifier
18 == +28
17 == +26 (inferred)
16 == +24
15 == +22 (inferred)
14 == +20 (inferred)
13 == +18
12 == +16 (inferred)
11 == +14 (inferred)
10 == +12

Is this true ?

Nope. Its 1/2 level + ability score modifer.
The modifers look to be the same as they are now, for example, the damage bonus (+9) is what you'd expect for a 28 strength.

Ahh, that makes more sense now. I've not spent much time learning SWSE but if that's how things work, it's alright.

For HP, something close, but not perfect, is Con Score * 1/2 Level.
Ice Archon: 13 * 9 = 117
Pit Fiend: 26 * 13 = 351
Spined Devil: 14 * 3 = 42

Perception +? (Must be more than 13 surely?)

Nope. Untrained, Perception = Wis + 1/2 Level. (Trained, Perception = Wis + 1/2 level + 5, as on the Pit Fiend)
