Lovecraftian goodies

[Prof.Dogg]

I'm doing more conversions for the CoC critters from the d20 book. You need the d20 CoC book for most of the critter's special qualities I post. Here's my stats for the Tcho-Tcho (note this is not designed as a player race but instead as a monstrous race; hence no background skills et al). Also, skills indicate number of ranks in parenthesis after the skill name and I used the 3.5 size midifiers for the small weapon (1d4 instead of 1d6 for a hatchet).

Vulnerability to Secret Phrase (Su)

Poison (ex): 1d6 / 2d6 Con (Fort 13). (NOTE: I am uncertain at this time how the Poison progression would work under 2e poison rules).

Nice work. Most of the D20 CoC critters make excellent foes for Conan.

I am still playing with the idea to play Cthulhu with Conan as the world of dreams.

Poison (ex): 1d6 / 2d6 Con (Fort 13). (NOTE: I am uncertain at this time how the Poison progression would work under 2e poison rules).

Probably 1d4 Con, Saves One round/one minute/ten minutes/ten minutes or thereabouts.
