This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: One Horse Town;784909Yeah, far too high. I'd probably go with AC 19, maybe boost it to 20 to reflect the deflection bonus a bit.

19 is the value it has in 'Hoard of the Dragon Queen Supplement 1'. So your instincts are pretty good.

Quote from: Will;784868Yeah, that seems kind of stupid. I'd have gone with elemental or something.

But hey.

It actually ended up as Undead. Which I can kind of see.

19 sounds better, yeah.

I didn't have a really solid model to use to convert AC, hopefully that'll get more obvious over time.

I'm hoping 5e has something like Pathfinder's monster guidelines. For those who aren't familiar, PF lays out the range of scores appropriate for different CR values, with some wiggle depending on role.

(Interestingly, if you take the PF version of Will-o'-wisp, it's AC is 26. Removing size bonus and deflection takes it to 20...)
This forum is great in that the moderators aren\'t jack-booted fascists.

Unfortunately, this forum is filled with total a-holes, including a bunch of rape culture enabling dillholes.

So embracing the \'no X is better than bad X,\' I\'m out of here. If you need to find me I\'m sure you can.

Considering that Phandelver doesn't even include stats in the module text, I would assume that you're supposed to grab pdfs from dndclassics and roll with the changes.

Heck, I have done it with Savage Worlds.  Seems 5e should be a cinch.  You might have to scrounge some stats here and there, but there's always the "file off the serial numbers" approach.

Phandelver has the stats for everything in the module separately in the back.
Quote from: JonWakeGamers, as a whole, are much like primitive cavemen when confronted with a new game. Rather than \'oh, neat, what\'s this do?\', the reaction is to decide if it\'s a sex hole, then hit it with a rock.

Quote from: Kyle Aaron;766997In the randomness of the dice lies the seed for the great oak of creativity and fun. The great virtue of the dice is that they come without boxed text.

Yeppers.  Was my point, actually.  Run B2 the same way, except flip to the back of a different file.
