Dec 10, 2003 2:53:02 I'm running In the abyss next weekend, and I was wonderling if anyone else has any experience with that module. What stuff should I look out for? What was your most memorable moment? What are the obvious (or not so obvious) pitfalls?

I've run over the monsters that appear in the module. Most have been converted. Any sources or monsters I missed?

Alu-fiend
Amamanites
Arcanaloth MM 2
Babau MM Demon
Bebilith MM Demon
Bodak MM
Cambion MM- Human fighter with Fiendish template
Chasme MM Demon
Cranium Rats BovD
Dretch MM Demon
Efreeti
Eyewing
Giant Ants MM Vermin
Giant Spider MM Vermin
Giant Toad MM Vermin
Glabrezu MM Demon
Hezrou MM Demon
Large Scorpions MM Vermin
Larva
Magma Mephit MM - use fire mephit
Mane
Molydeus I did a conversion here
Succubus MM Demon
Varragoin MM
Viper Tree
Vrock MM Demon
Yeth Hound

Female half fiend template. Try a bard or enchantress, and give her wings.
Amamanites
MotP I think.

Cranium Rats BovD
Feind Folio IIRC.

Efreeti
MM I could have sworn, look under Genie I think.

Eyewing

No clue sorry.

Larva
Ex use a tiny centepeded or something.

Magma Mephit MM - use fire mephit

Check out the Magma Elemental in MotP, it should give some conversion ideas.

Mane
BoVD.

Viper Tree

Lost here too.

Yeth Hound [/b]

MM.

Dec 15, 2003 2:12:29 Hmmm.. Puk, some issues with your list...

"Chasme - MM Demon"

I don't remember such a demon in the MM.

"Magma Mephit MM - use fire mephit"

There's alredy a Magma Mephit in the MM, you don't need to just use a Fire Mephit.

Dec 15, 2003 4:11:52 Larvae are Hades petitioners. Look in the Manual of the Planes.

Manes are Abyssal petioners. Again, look in MotP.

I did the list off the top of my head. I think I may have missed a bunch.

Dec 15, 2003 7:06:13 actually I think the list might be a bit of a distraction. What I really want is for fellow GM's to discuss their experience with the module. warn me about some common pitfalls. that sort of stuff.
