bryanb Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Hi Everyone, I am running a D&D adventure I d/l from http://www.rpgarchive.com website but have a little problem... This is my first time running a FH adventure and, apart from having only a few hours to prepare, I want to make it distinct and very different from the AD&D world as this is the rules that these players are used to playing in. Given my time restraints I realise that the above isn't quite possible - however I would like not to re-invent the monsters in the TA campaign world with the same names etc as their D&D counterparts. Given that, I have the following list of monsters in the adventure: AD&D Gnolls = FH Erqigdlit AD&D Kobold = FH ??????? AD&D DOPPLEGANGER = FH ??????? AD&D Monstrous Spider = FH Giant Spider AD&D Hobgoblin = FH Hobgoblin So what I am looking for, asking for, pleading for, is a FH equivalent for a kobold and a Doppleganger. Most importantly, the equivalent DOES NOT HAVE TO BE A KOBOLD OR DOPPLEGANGER CONVERSION - it would be preferably an existing FH creature that fills the same niche, and has the same power level, as an AD&D Kobold and a AD&D Doppleganger. Can anyone help? This is really short notice (needed in the next 12 hours)... Thanks in advance. Bryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rage Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Re: Looking for FH replacements in D&D Adventure... this might help for DnD conversions etc if you want to go it alone. http://www.killershrike.com/FantasyHERO/HighFantasyHERO/FantasyHERO.shtml if you don'tt, then I suggest you do a search on DnD beasts in the fantasy hero section. either way, good luck.

Curufea Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Re: Looking for FH replacements in D&D Adventure... There's a shapeshifter in the Monster's and Minions book. Kobolds, hmm... you could just use the halfling package. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trencher Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Re: Looking for FH replacements in D&D Adventure... Sure since you have the monsters minions and marauders book there is no problem. AD&D Gnolls = FH Erqigdlit Yes AD&D Kobold = FH ???????—There are so many different versions of Kobolds in dnd/adnd that, you have to use your own description and picture but for stats you can use ratlings who are very similar to the Kobold illustrated by the Tony Detressetti (spelling?) AD&D DOPPLEGANGER = FH ??????? = Mausquer from the same book that has the Erqigdlit AD&D Monstrous Spider = FH Giant Spider Yes AD&D Hobgoblin = FH Hobgoblin Yes ----------- Remember to tweak the numbers if in doubt. Go easy on your players until you get a feel for how much they can take and still keep going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy is watching this thread, not knowing that he has to update the browser before he can see the reply I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Taylor Posted October 29, 2005 Report Share Posted October 29, 2005 Re: Looking for FH replacements in D&D Adventure... Looks like the only thing you need now is a Kobald equivalent. Remember that for a given adventure it is the creatures' roles in the adventure that are important, not their physical forms, so you don't need a direct Kobald equivalent, all you need is a race who can fill their role in the Adventure. A degenerate and corrupt lost tribe of halflings might suffice for example, depending on the situation and context. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got all the creatures I needed covered now. I will give the ratlings a go as a substitute for kobolds. Thanks again for the prompt replies!
