I'm thinking of converting my current campaign over to Version 3.5 pretty soon and have been looking at some of the 3e monsters. In particular, I've tried to see what an Aarakocra (from Monsters of Faerun) would look like in 3.5 (ok, it's first in the alphabet, so it'll be a while before I get to Tyrantfog Zombie!).

As far as I can tell, pretty much everything stays the same as the entry in Monsters of Faerun except:
Special Qualities: gains Darkvision 60 ft. (as a Monstrous Humanoid)
Skills: should now have 8 points to spend on skills... I suggested Knowledge (nature) +2, Listen +3, Spot +3.
Level Adjustment: I guessed at +1 (since it can fly).

What do people think... is this about right for a first attempt?

Cheers,
Martyn

Races of Faerūn gives them a +2 LA.

Thanks very much... hadn't spotted that reference... it would also have pointed out to me the racial bonuses they have on four skills, so the correct skills should be:

Craft (any one) +4, Knowledge +4, Listen +4, Spot +4.

(Basically +2 racial bonus and 2 ranks spent on each).
