I'm curious why you went so low on ST when the original beast has Str 16.
ReplyDeleteNot complaining just curious. I still find your site SO useful when making my own conversions!
They are described as small in the Monster Manual, so I decided to give them SM-1. Them having extraordinarily high ST value innately wouldn't make sense to me, so I gave them a lower value, but also added Lifting ST for better grappling and, well, choking. This is just a racial template, individual chokers may have higher ST values.
DeleteMakes perfect sense. Thank you!
