As one can see, I have a question regarding Encounter 4: New Haven Road from the module Dragons of Despair.

The module never says how many baaz draconians are hiding in the trees.
What's up with that?

The stat block says 8.

Hope that helps

Ah, it certainly helped.

Stat block? What stat block? I've got the DragonLance Classics 1 module, not the individual modules (should've mentioned that in the opening post, sorry). Is this "stat block" you speak of something that doesn't appear in DragonLance Classics 1?

That may have come from my conversion of the adventure to 3rd edition. Have you taken a look at that?

Cheers, Cam! I think I'm doing my own conversion, though, but some of the stuff in your conversion (number of monsters in an encounter, for instance, and DCs) are going to be helpful.
I noticed one thing, though. Aren't baaz draconians CR 2? I don't have the DLCS yet, but I recall reading that somewhere. You conversion says they're CR 1.

Those aren't the draconian stats from the DLCS. They're out-of-date now, and came from Draconian Measures. Use the DLCS where things differ.

The '8 Baaz draconians in the stat block' actually came from the original DL1 module. All the original modules can now be downloaded from RPGNow.com in .pdf format if you're interested, at $4.95 a shot.

I already downloaded the DL Classics modules at 4.something a pop. Don't think my dad would approve of using his credit card again.

Why was something so important taken away from the DL Classics modules, I wonder? Kinda silly, and annoying.

Sucks.

Could someone be kind enough to post (or e-mail) this information (number of creatures encountered in an encouter) for the first module, for all encounters? I know I'm asking a lot, but it would be greatly appreciated.

Cam: Are the numbers (of creatures encountered) in your conversion based on the original modules? If so, then I'll be using those.
