Updated one more time with guidelines for Next creature types not yet in 5E. This should be it for a while (unless someone finds a mistake).

Created a quick-reference version of the Next to 5E conversion document:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-7hxvf7CeXK-_tEmUSlR6RL1mqDI19rh_0Ww9mZHinw
Also, slightly off-topic, but I also created a conversion document for 3E/3.5/Pathfinder.

Feedback is appreciated!

This is great! Thank you.
Since someone else has done a 1e to 5e conversion doc, the only thing we seem to missing is a 2e to 5e conversion doc. If anyone knows where a 2e to 5e conversion doc that I missed, please let us know.
Again, this is very very handy and well thought out.

You're welcome, glad to help!
And 2E is next on my list, actually...Just a note on that 1E-5E converter, note that it's technically a 1E-Next converter, he used the older numbers. But he should be updating it soon to make it 5E compatible, no worries.

I suspect these conversions won't hold at higher levels.
We'll know for sure not too long after the Monster Manual drops.

I suspect you're correct - the sample size is too small, and it's mostly low-level monsters. And the young green dragon - a higher-level monster - is clearly an exception to most of those rules. But I figure this should be enough to carry us until we get more official monsters to work with, and a more comprehensive review is possible...
Looking forward to your more detailed analysis, BTW!
You're welcome, I figured 3.5 guidelines should be a priority!

Yes I face the same issues :-(
As far as I can tell the Young Green Dragon fits the underlying process-oriented build. I don't doubt it fits the underlying result-oriented math.
Thanks you
Until I have more volume of data to crunch I'll get what joy I can from posting the process-oriented build method.

Might need a little tweaking, but I'm throwing a pack/flock/whatever of these guys at my players this weekend...
VOLT
Small aberration, unaligned
Armor Class 14 (natural armor)
Hit Points 13 (3d6 + 3)
Speed 10 ft., fly 30 ft.
Str 8 (-1) Dex 17 (+3) Con 12 (+1)
Int 2 (-4) Wis 10 (+0) Cha 6 (-2)
Damage Immunities lightning
Senses darkvision 60 ft., passive Perception 10
Languages ---
Challenge 1/2 (100 XP)
ACTIONS
Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 5 (1d4 + 3) piercing damage, and the volt attaches to the target. While attached, the volt doesn't attack with it's bite. Instead, at the start of each of its turns, the target loses 5 (1d4 + 3) hit points due to blood loss.
A creature, including the target, can use its action to make a DC 10 Strength check to detach the volt.
Tail Slap. Melee Weapon Attack: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (2d6 + 3) lightning damage. Against an attached target, the volt gains advantage on its tail slap attack roll.
