Special Conversion Thread: Microscopic Monsters

I guess start at 2HD and let the "2-5" listed be part of the advancement range. They're Medium and decent grapplers, I guess, so probably Str 13-16. Con is probaby pretty good to make the flash so potent. How about

Str 15, Dex 10, Con 22, Int -, Wis 1, Cha 1, NA +2?

I'd be game for increasing its Strength a bit.

The Ceratium we did was Small and Str 12, Dex 12, Con 19, Int —, Wis 1, Cha 1.

If we apply normal Small => Medium Advancement to that we get Str 16, Dex 10, Con 21, Int —, Wis 1, Cha 1.

Since the Noctiluca's a grappler, I'd increase the Str and Con up a point, which would give:

Noctiluca: Str 17, Dex 10, Con 22, Int —, Wis 1, Cha 1, NA +2 ?

I like those scores.

Might as well plug them in then and see what we've got left.

Added to Homebrews.

It has a large eye spot and is able to detect changes in light and dark.

Hmm...still blind?

It is only found in salt water, most commonly in the tropics.

Good catch.

Shall we exchange the Blind SQ for Myopia with a hefty racial penalty (-8?) to Spot?

Hold on, did we forget its Blinding Flash is more potent than normal?

The original had -3 to the save, a 20' blinding range and an 80' startling (Dazzle?) range.

Double the range (20 feet for 1d6+1 rds blindness and 60 feet for 1 round) and add a +2 racial bonus to the DC?

Sure! Keep blindsight?

That works for me!

Yes to blindsight, but I'm not particularly opposed to dropping it either.

Agree to the more potent flash; that's about how I was thinking.

Updated.
