Saiyans and Tyranids

[Anabstercorian]

We ask! We ask! Show us the stats!

Edit: I tried to make an average Saiyan with DnD stats, and ended up with an 8 HD Minotaur/Dire Ape with an oddly high level transformation and some other completely non-sensical crap.

 

[Corlon]

your friend was right ya know, you shouldn't really put saiyans into DND!

I'd like that link to the ECL thing, that would make for some very cool races on my part, because I've never been good at balancing stuff .

 

[RangerWickett]

Well, I'm assuming people were asking for the stuff I was talking about. Natural 20 Press, the publishing branch of ENWorld, published Four-Color to Fantasy, which has rules for super powers and superheroes. Conveniently enough, all of the powers are given powers, and the scale of power determines what level the character is equivalent to. This lets you determine ECL.

You can read reviews of the book here:

Four-Color to Fantasy


and you can read a storyhour of an adventure that uses these rules here:

Golden Apple Rescue Squad

The whole thing is meant to be compatible with the core D&D rules. The book sells for $5 at RPGNow, but if you're willing to wait a day or two, I should be able to post a sample Saiyan. Just tell me what types of powers you think they should have, to jog my memory (haven't watched the show in a while). Right now, though, I'm busy with schoolwork.

Is there any way to get a sneak peak at how things work or see a free evaluation copy? Or is there a refund policy if you don't like the work?

 

[Anabstercorian]

It's FIVE FREAKIN' DOLLARS, man. Just buy it.

For the Tyrandis what would you want converted?

Hive Tyrant
Tyrant Guard
Lictors
Warriors
Genestealers
the Gaunt varieties
Ripper Swarms
Raveners
Gargoyles
Carnifex
Zoanthropes
Biovores

I think that is everything from the current 'Nid codex. I'm thinking they would all be pretty damn tough.

All of them in their standard forms.

 

[Broken Fang]

Do you have a desired CR for them? Do you want an actual as close as possible conversion?

 

[Anubis]

A little of both. I want them to be a good conversion without overpowering them. I'm working on it now.
