D&D 4E Forked Thread: Al Qadim Monsters to 4e

[Quickleaf]

Adam, nice work on the monsters! (as usual)

Sea Wyrm & Afanc: How many creatures can they grab? After all, they are huge solo enemies.

Segaran: No swim speed for the crocodile people?

Crypt Servant: Weird immunities, I'd change it to all weapons. That's the crypt servant's schtick as a minion - "what the !$@$ can hurt this guy???"
I also like the idea of giving them an additional power called "Indominatable March of the Dead" (or something) which causes one target they move toward to become slowed (save ends), and if they move in a straight line the target loses a move action on their following turn.

Sea Wyrm grab limits defined. Afanc doesn't grab more then one target at a time. Crypt Servant tweaked. Segarran's swim like all other humanoids(1/2 their regular move)

Looking good! I'm happy to send you the fonts I've been using and some smoke backgrounds for you to play with, if you'd like.

Looks like you got to tigers already, but I'd done this a while back if you want something to compare against - Tigers.

State of the MM address

The state of the Al Qadim 4e Monster Manual is strong,,,<much applause>

At this time I have finished entering the creatures I converted, including flavor text, pictures, and various corrections, and am currently in the process of entering the creatures that Jester created in his Monster Project.

What's next you ask? I post the PDF of the AQMM Mk. 1, so as to receive howls of derision from all the lurkers, and constructive criticism from the rest. After weighing said criticism, I will make the changes (databases are spiffy that way) and re-upload wash-rinse-repeat... Also during that time, I will be continuing to add creatures.
If anybody wants to contribute:

1. Please check out the list at the beginning of this thread.
2. Select a vict...creature to convert.
3. Convert said creature.
4. Post conversion in this thread.
5. ???
6. Profit!!!

Thank you and Good Night.
