For being the "undisputed masters of the Yugoloths, Ultraloths are'nt very powerful. The only reason they are PL 15 is due to some of their Skill Ranks, othersies, they would only be PL 11.

If anyone is curious how to create a "Symbol", here is an example:

"Symbol of Death" Drain Constitution 12 (Power Feat: Trigger, Extra: Area -- Burst [60-ft. radius; +1], Duration -- Continuous [trigger; +3])

Looking at all the creatures I have converted already, it looks like I've mostly got Devils, Demons, and the occasional other Outsider on my plate for a while.

I recently picked up a copy of the World of Warcraft Monster Guide, which should also be a fun task to convert.

Woohoo!

[fireinthedust]

before I put it off again: brilliant, and it's going to be massively useful for my new DnD MnM campaign (ie: fantasy setting using MnM 2nd ed.). it's PL8, but should be fun. Any recommendations for monsters for a newbie MnM DM? like, what you recommend?


Also: I'd love to see some magic items (equipment, etc.) and racial packages (like drow: attractive, darkvision, immunity: aging, etc.) for PCs and villains. This in addition to the standard character you've got, for races that're generally converted.

Question: if I had a master vampire, and I wanted to work in Hivemind (to trip up holy symbol-use; the master saves and so all the minions do, etc.), how would you work that? I'd enjoy seeing a nifty master vampire type.

Warcraft beasties, eh?

That sounds like a worthy statting challenge.

I always recommend starting where D&D would begin: Orcs, Goblins, Skeletons, and Zombies. Now, at PL 8, you would definately have many more options to choose from. There are plenty of creatures that fall into the PL 8 or less category that your players could easily face.

In the M&M game my roommate is running (a Greek-Era game), we are PL 6, and we have successfully faced of against Hydras (PL 8], Large and Huge Monstrous Scorpions (PL 4-7), a small army of Assurite warriors (including a sorcerer and several Heroic-level fighter-types; PL 3-6), and a Stone Golem (PL 11). The possibilities of what M&M-based character can face are much more open than a standard D&D game.

But, in my suggestion, start small, and work your way up until you find a place you and your players are comfortable.

I'm pretty sure I've statted Drow...

They've got +2 Intelligence and Charisma, and all the Powers listed in their description. Give them Attractive, as well, and you're all set.

As for Equipment and Magic Items, they are Devices. They usually have pretty basic write-ups, unless their powers get really out of hand.

A Magic Sword is easy.

A basic Sword is: Strike 3 (Power Feat: Improved Critical, Mighty)

For Magic Swords, I add Penetrating to the Strike (a +1 Extra). Also, if the sword has bonuses to hit, I usually try to figure those in.

For example, a +2 Sword would be: Strike 5 (Power Feat: Accurate, Improved Critical, Mighty, Extra: Penetrating [+1])

The Strike goes from 3 to 5 due to the magical bonuses, plus it gets Accurate, giving the weilder a +2 bonus to her Attack roll.

I may consider statting up Magic Items if I reach my annoyance factor of statting up monsters (which would take a while for me to reach, as I have been enjoying this personal project).

Question: if I had a master vampire, and I wanted to work in Hivemind (to trip up holy symbol-use; the master saves and so all the minions do, etc.), how would you work that? I'd enjoy seeing a nifty master vampire type.

For a Master Vampire, see Strahd Von Zarovich.

As for the Hive Mind ability, that would be tough...

Some suggestions:

Create a master Vampire with Duplication or Summon (make sure all the duplicates/summoned vampires are Minions, not Heroic) with the "Mental Link" Power Feat. You could give these minions Immunity to Ward Effects (the "Ward" Power in the Ultimate Powers book would be the best way to create a "turn undead"-based power). This Immunity could have the Flaw: Ward Effects Transfered to Master Vampire (it's basically like the Feedback Flaw, only circumstantial).
