After looking at the ghosts in 5e I noticed they have the horrifying visage action which we could consider adding to emulate his cause aging gaze and his cause revulsion. If you beat him, you should get something for your trouble... That was sorta my line of thinking with the items as well. I know t...

Thank you for the clarification jester. I am not all to knowledgeable with the rules of other editions so reading these older adventures and books always seems to confuse me a bit. Hopefully when I go to dexcon this year I can get in on a few 2e games so I can have a better understanding of how thes...

Thank you for converting this guy Jester. I have maybe about 2 or 3 more sessions before I bring my players into the land of mists and I was dreading converting a darklord so I really appreciate the help. I haven't checked his exact CR yet and just eyeballed it. It's probably higher. I just wanted t...

Any advice you guys can offer on converting a darklord? Specifically Tristan ApBlanc?

I spent a few days brainstorming a conversion for "Aggie" the giant undead lake serpent from Castle Forlorn and here is what I have so far. This is a rough conversion as 2.0 (Castles Forlorn: The Weeping Lands - p93) only gives me a vague idea of the difficulty of the fight and 3.5 (Ravenl...

I saw something peculiar with the Goblyns. Originally they were tougher than ogres, with HD 4+4, very good chance to surprise someone, AC 4, thAC0 13 and a couple more abilities. I agree I was looking thru some of the monster in the conversion particularly ones that are in Castles Forlorn and was s...

They killed a character? Did the chars play well, used all their resources wisely etc? Was the dice mostly fair? If so, then the encounter would be considered "deadly". So, your Vampyres are (if the PCs handled them well and luck didn't favor any sides) about 650 XP worth each. Hence... C...

Well I tested it out and attacked a party of 4 lvl 4s with 2 vampyres without holding back I managed to down one and almost down another. But they defeated them. Your right 4 would have likely downed all of them haha.

:shock: FOUR Vampyres vs 4th lvl characters? That's too deadly. It's equivalent of 3600 XP. 4 Vampyres would be deadly against 6 4th lvl characters with a possible TPK. Don't forget that 4 monsters ~ x2 XP. well ya your probably right. this is just a play test wont actually account for any thing ju...

Well I will attempt a play test using our combined suggestions tonight against some lvl 4 players probably drop about 4 on their heads and I will let you know how it goes. Also my version has pack tactics so hopefully they will be more likely to hit assuming they win the initiative. Thanks for the c...

Well, the Vampyre you present here is certainly not CR4. Closer to CR 1 or 2 at most I would say. :) For conformity, I would say increase dex to 14 and strength to 16 and lower natural armor from +2 to +1. Here is the one I used in Death Unchained (which doesn't have vampyres, I know. I added them)...

I am currently attempting a "Castles Forlorn" conversion and would be glad to post what monsters I have converted for discussion. Right now I am converting the monsters off of their 2E and 3.5 statistic and am trying to keep true to the difficulty the monsters represent in 2E. If you need...
