09-07-04, 07:20 PM I'm looking for how to convert 2nd edition AD&D monsters to 3.5.

I recently found an old Dragon Magazine that has a Pink Dragon, and I want to unleash the dopey-looking terror upon them!

Quick summary:
Breath Weapon: old-school cloud of bubbles effect. Fills a given spread with soapy bubbles that blind and confuse while making the ground slippery, to which the dragon is immune.

Said dragon then wades in, crunch-crunch-crunch, TPK. :D

09-09-04, 06:09 AM Creature Catalogue (See my signature for link) has done many 2E-3E conversions. Take a look at their website. They also have an dragon magazine article there which deals with creating a monster. Make the changes to v3.5 by referring to MM v3.5.

if "create water" is casted on your chia golem.... does it grow? (like an enlarge monster spell?)

Is there really a published "plush golem" monster in some previous edition source? Because a while back I was toying (no pun intended) with a monster idea along the same lines and had no idea that somebody else had come up with the same idea.

All of the golems he listed already exist, most in the same dragon mag. The chocolate one even has a 'nougat-filled' varient.

Also, the Chia Golem is actually pretty cool, beyond the silliness. Entangle as a special ability.

Which issue was it in? I think that I should try to get a copy of that one.
