[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5033458, member: 57383"] Okay then, let's make it an Aberration with a fighter-boost and see where that takes us. Medium Aberration 5 Hit Dice A direct translation of its +4 damage bonus would give it Strength 16-17. AD&D Low Intelligence is Int 5-7. Might as well make it Int 7, like an Athach. Indeed, we could just set all its mental stats the same as an Athach. Constitution? They don't have a hit point bonus in the original. Scaling an Athach's Con 21 down to Medium would give them Con 13. They've also been compared to Ogres, which would scale down to Con 12. Constitution 12? That just leaves Dexterity. They're described as pretty agile, if I remember correctly. I'm thinking Dex 14-15. That would give them AC15 if they have a natural armour bonus of +3 (which is what results if you scale down both an Athach and an Ogre to Medium). Putting all that together: [B]Lesser Fachan[/B] Medium Aberration Hit Dice 5d8+5 (32hp) AC 15 (+2 Dex, +3 natural) Str 17, Dex 15, Con 12, Int 7, Wis 12, Cha 6 Looks alright to me. [/QUOTE]
