A Heucuva Problem!

Post by BigBadQDaddy »

Hello peeps,
I got a question for anyone interested in questions...
Does anyone know if their is a 3rd ed or 3.5 version of a Heucuva? and also where(if one such exists) I can find it, or if it doesn't exist, some possible suggestions for converting one from 2nd ed to 3.5.
Any help is guaranteed to make you fell warm and fuzzy inside...guarantee void after 082906

And if the version in the Fiend Folio isn't to your liking, I did a conversion to 3.0 a while back that I'd be willing to share.

Oops. I went to my old 3.0 stuff to get the conversion... and found that I had forgotten a key detail: I never got around to finishing it. How embarassing! I'm sorry.

Lol, too funny, thanks anyway.
now, when you talk about Fiend Folio are you talking about the old AD&D 1st ed. book, or did they come out with a newer one? Sorry, I'm pretty new at 3.5 so I honestly don't know if there is a new one or not.

I don't think there's any 3.X conversions in the old one, no.
