Monsters/NPCs: Goblinoids and Kobolds
I am preparing to run a conversion of a classic D&D module. Having made the goblinoid and kobold racial templates, now I can convert some NPCs too! They are weak, but I always felt that there needs to be more weak monsters for low-level play.

Very handy - at some point I do want to run some classic goblins-and-kobold type dungeon dives, so I could see myself getting use out of these. That said, ST6 seems a little on the low side for Goblins; their "average" hit produces very little damage.
ReplyDeleteWhat does "KYOS" mean?
ReplyDeleteKnowing Your Own Strength, an alternative take on ST from the eponymous Pyramid article.
DeleteThanks! Fantastic work on the spell conversions. I just discovered this blog and plan on adding those to my own files.
DeleteThanks! I'm glad you like it.
DeleteAhhh, good ole Sunless Citadel!
