okay...i need advice.....
Created my own world for 3.5 D&D to which my players have succesfully become level 14, and have introduced 2 new players to RPing in general through this world (dear lord the workload)...been DMing and GMing since 1995 starting with Robotech in Palladium, DMed my first 2nd ed AD&D game in 1998. Now that you know my basic carrer and knowledge level i need help in creating an epic level villain for my 3.5 world and campaign. This monster is not currently in any 3rd ed book i or anyone else knows of. But i think it would be a grand idea and want to create it; the problem comes in creating a suitable Level adjustment for the monster, there is no apparent guidline for making LA's for monsters.
Now for the monster i want to convert from 2nf ed AD&D.....
are you ready?? Your sure now......? I will tell and leave any amount of advice that can be given as most appreciative.....DMing 3.5 i've gotten the handle of...creating monsters from scratch makes me scratch my head just a bit.

The Molydeus is what i want to make

It got converted by another poster. Let me see if I can dig it up.

Edit: Unfortunately, I haven't been able to find it. I'm sure someone else will be able to provide you with the link.

Well, the good news is that unless one of the players wants to be a monster, you don't need a Level-Adjustment!

Level-Adjustment isn't necessary for villians, non-player characters (other than cohorts), monsters, or anything else that doesn't hit the PC-side of the table.

Do you mean that you want a unique villain or an advanced monster or some specific BBEG converted from 2.0 or 3.0 or what?
