[QUOTE="dpadams0, post: 6732490, member: 6799892"] Hi folks This seemed like a good thread to interject my own request. First time DM. Running Tyranny of Dragons, which is going great. We've just started Rise of Tiamat. Anyway, found the old AD&D sourcebook for the Cult of the Dragon and it has some cool dragon hybrid monstrosities that I would like to convert to 5e. I found a guide online but found so vague it wasn't very useful. Also I have very little working understanding of 2e. The creatures are the Dracimera and Mantidrake. You can find them online at a website called lomion.de. I would post links here but I'm not permitted to by the forum. Anyone want to have a stab at converting? Here's my attempt at the dracimera: [B]Dracimera [/B] [I]Large Monstrosity, Chaotic Evil[/I] STR 19 (+4), DEX 11, CON 19 (+4), INT 5 (-3), WIS 14 (+2), CHA 10 AC 15 136 HP Languages: Draconic and Common Movement 30 ft, fly 60 ft Skills: PER+10 Saving Throws: STR +8, CON +8 Senses: Darkvision Damage Immunity: Fire Multi-attack: the dracimera makes four attacks: it bites, uses its horn, and slashes with its claws twice. It can use its breath weapon (which uses two attacks). Bite. Melee Weapon Attack. +10 to hit, reach 5 ft, one creature. Hit: 13. Piercing Horn: Melee Weapon Attack. +10 to hit, reach 5 ft, one creature. Hit: 16. Piercing Claw: Melee Weapon Attack. +10 to hit, reach 5 ft, one creature. 13. Slashing Claw: Melee Weapon Attack. +10 to hit, reach 5 ft, one creature. 13. Slashing Breath Weapon (Recharge 5/6): Cone of fire 5 feet at mouth, 90 feet long, 30 feet wide at cones widest; half damage if DC 17 save is made. Damage: 43. [/QUOTE]
