Title: Novus - More Creatures
Post by: BarefootGaijin on October 06, 2014, 01:31:46 AM
I am running Novus. I need more creatures/monsters. I have read around and seen that there is a Rolemaster and Harp link. How easy is it to convert between these systems? I could "reskin" what there already is in the handbook, but that doesn't leave me with a sense of deep satisfaction.

Alternatively, what other systems can I grab creatures from and quickly (eyeballing it!) use? Suggestions welcome.

I think that after eyeballing some Novus creature stats and HARP stats, that HARP should be relatively easy to do quick and dirty conversions from. If you divide the large stats by 5 it should work pretty well. However, if you sign up to the ICE forums you can download a document "HARP d20-fied" where Tim Dugger converts HARP to use a d20 rather than d100. It includes conversions of all the monsters from the core book.

You can find it here (http://www.ironcrown.com/ICEforums/index.php?action=tpmod;dl=item279).
