Exotic Sunder (Ex): When wielding a bastard sword, Drelnza deals an extra 1d6 points of damage on any successful sunder attempt.

Show Off (Ex): As a standard action, Drelnza can display her mastery of the bastard sword and confound her opponent. She can make an Intimidate check against a single opponent within 30 feet that can see her, adding her base attack bonus to the result (total modifier +18). If the result exceeds the opponent’s modified level check (see the skill description on page 76 of the Player’s Handbook), the opponent becomes shaken (-2 penalty on attack rolls, ability checks, and saving throws) for 3 rounds.

Uncanny Blow (Ex): When wielding a bastard sword in two hands, Drelnza can focus the power of her attack so that she deals extra damage equal to her Strength bonus x2 instead of her Strength bonus x1-½. When using her Power Attack feat, Drelnza treats a bastard sword as a two-handed weapon for purposes of determining her bonus on damage rolls.

Iggwilv’s Wrath: +4 unholy bastard sword; AL CE; Int 17, Wis 17, Cha 10; Speech (Abyssal, Celestial, Common, Giant), telepathy, 120 ft. darkvision and hearing (Listen +3, Spot +3); Ego score 21.
Lesser Powers: Detect magic at will, item has 10 ranks in Knowledge (religion) (total modifier +13), item has 10 ranks in Sense Motive (total modifier +13).
Special Purpose: Defeat/slay divine spellcasters (including divine entities and servitors).
Dedicated Power: Confusion.
Personality: Forged by the Witch-Queen Iggwilv as a gift for her beautiful daughter Drelnza, Iggwilv’s Wrath was designed by the Witch-Queen as the ultimate weapon against the gods and their meddling servants. The blade is thoroughly evil, and revels in wanton slaughter. The blade has a venomous hatred of divine spellcasters, and will use its confusion power to divide divine spellcasters from their allies, leaving them more vulnerable to attacks.
Strong enchantment; CL 20th; Craft Magic Arms and Armor, confusion; Price 144,935 gp.

have you converted any more the Caverns for 3.5 a few people have asked about this module on Enworld? I posted my 3.0 version of her on there.

thanks

I haven't converted anything else, but I've been thinking about it, as the PCs in my current campaign are about 12th level, and I think a conversion of LCoT to 3.5 would be about right for 12th level. A few monsters will have to be created -- the gorgimera could be a chimeric gorgon (see chimeric template in MMII), the dracolisk a half-dragon greater basilisk, the cave morays and the petch will have to be made from scratch, etc. Some monsters will be too weak for a 12th-level adventure (stirges, the bodak, and the ettin come to mind), so they'll need class levels or more HD. It's a great module, and a redux would be great.

You should also check out the Necromancer Games Tome of Horrors, Kelanen, since IIRC they converted many of the old 1e monsters to 3.0 in that book, including many from S4.

I think for a conversion thats ok for ENworld, the fan conversions from the ENworld Creature Catalog can be used too. Most of those appear in the Tome of Horrors.

The good news is that the ToH is 100% OGL, so you can use it as much as you want and post the result on the net.
