[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 5034766, member: 57383"] That depends how you translate it. An AD&D Strength 18/50 is the next Strength category in line after 18 (arguing for a 19), but AD&D ability scores have a much wider plateau in the middle, so most stats don't get bonuses until they reach 15 (instead of 12 like in 3E). Using the damage bonus of +3 for that Strength instead of the raw number you get an equivalent 3E Strength of 16-17, which is what I went for, since it was closest to what you get scaling down an Ogre or Athach's Strength to Medium. Still, I have no objection to boosting it to 19, we can always say Fachans are at the burly (300-400 pound?) end of Medium. There are a couple of other stats that look east converts. Speed 9" => 20 feet, Alignment is probably Usually Chaotic Evil and treasure is pretty good (U or Z), so should be at least standard. (It's actually a lot for a single monster, so double standard may be more suited - but that seems rather a lot for such a monster). So we're now. [B]Lesser Fachan[/B] Medium Aberration Hit Dice 5d8+5 (32hp) Speed 20 ft. AC 15 (+2 Dex, +3 natural) Str 19, Dex 15, Con 12, Int 7, Wis 12, Cha 6 Alignment: Usually chaotic evil Organization: Solitary Treasure: Standard [/QUOTE]
