[QUOTE="HeapThaumaturgist, post: 3001145, member: 12332"] Okay, here's a conversion I did. Just did, actually. I went with a 5hd/CR4 Winter Demon, which seemed about "right". It has a Def of 21 and DR 10/Silver, so if we've got 1st-2nd (maybe 3rd) level standard d20Modern characters, he'll both be rather hard to hit and hard to hurt. Used the conversion doc (what of it there is) to do it. I mean, the original Winter Demon in Alternity had "Good" armor (more or less DR) but didn't have huge HP (not a health bonus, anyway). 12 Stun, 12 Wound, 6 Mortal. He depended on that damage step-down plus armor to pretty much reduce everything coming in to nil. I figure DR 15 would be too much. If we're using something close to the pregens from the D*M book, we've got some 2d6 handguns and a 2d8 shotgun and a 2d8 assault rifle ... average damage 7 and 9 ... so we've got a better than 50% chance on any particular hit of doing no damage at all. We've only got about 40hp to work with here, but the key to the adventure is to have the beast spring out randomly and jack up a character and fade into the snow again. The big thing is I added an autofire icicle attack. The original can throw 3 of them in a round at growing penalties ... I figure a -4 AoE style attack would be about as good there. --fje [/QUOTE]
