10-16-03, 12:16 PM Hi,
I am looking for a conversion of the Planescape monsters Abishai and Astral Hound. Or, better yet, a procedure to conver them myself.

Some things are easy to convert (HD, and you can pick up Special Abilities from the creatures description) but I have no idea how to convert AC and THACO.

Any help appreciated, thanks.

For any and all 3.0 Planescape Conversion needs be sure to watch Planewalker.com for further updates.

'Ignore their little slave with a word processor why don't they. Humph!'

*grins and adjusts the razorvine perched between ears* 'And they said only A'kin could write...'

Maybe eventually? Can't say for sure, since I don't have a clue what it would take to set one up. *shrugs*

10-17-03, 05:06 AM Yes, they are messed up in MoF. They've been made in to mere servents of Tiamat (even if that's their original state, it's bloody silly). Why they're stuck in Faerun alone, I have no bloody idea. Alas, they were merely filler from all I can see. *shrugs*

There's tons of'em out there, too, so there may be some better ones that I don't know of. I ran a few myself, back in my days as a high-up on an online game, using Voy forums, so it wouldn't be that hard."

10-17-03, 01:16 PM AFAIK abishai are also in the MM 3.5

10-17-03, 01:39 PM Thanks Villan, I got that somewhere as well.

Inkubus, where in MM 3.5 are they? They are not under Baatzu or under Abishai?

Thanks.
