Zombastodon

My PCs recently derailed a whole bunch of my planning through creative play – which is fine, the surprises make the game more entertaining for me this way – they ended up in the Slumbering Ursine Dunes and here are converted monsters for my own reference with abbreviated 5e stat blocks. Though colloquially called “zombastodons” […]

Gakimushi Nest

buso geisha

Stole the idea from the Paizo Jade Regent boards. I felt it fit my game very well since one of my PCs is an oiran/geiko. My PCs skipped the Pagoda portion of the dungeon but a more deadly version was in the Munasukaru’s Penance area. BUSO GEISHA (GREATER TIGBUANA BUSO) Medium undead, chaotic evil Armor […]

The Five Storms Team

With the Oriental Adventure conversions complete back to my actual campaign which involves a tournament to win the Mortal Blade. To make sense of these entries you will need to look at the adventure flowchart which gives context and explains my changes but it’s essentially a conversion of the Ruby Phoenix Tournament but with a […]

SHENZUZHO the HEADLESS

Regretta, the Bronze Liche

Deadly in combination with the deathshrieker and iron cobra. Used as part of the Bronze Liche encounter. Definitely some Warhammer inspiration in here as well – specifically, the Tomb Kings. Regretta, The Bronze Liche Medium undead (construct), lawful evil Armor Class 17 (natural armor) Hit Points 396 (36d8 + 108) Speed 30 ft. STR DEX […]

yuki-on-na

The final entry for the 3rd edition OA conversion to 5e. DESCRIPTION Beautiful spirits of the frozen wastes, yuki-on-nas are either hateful and destructive or kindly and helpful. In either case, they can be dangerous, since those who pursue them, whatever their intention, often find themselves lost in a blizzard. Yuki-on-nas are virtually never seen except in the […]

Moving on to 3rd edition OA there are a few new monsters in this book that were not in 1e. Converting them here. I knew about this monster first hand from my wife who’s family is from the Philippines. This is actually a tamed down version of the real folk-version. Philipinos (and many Asian […]
