Adding Creatures together.

I want an Ettin Ghoul for the next encounter.

I took the Ettin template from page 132 of the Monster Manual.
I then added ghoul damage and condition immunities, 22 extra hit points, the ettin still has 2 attacks as listed but included the following from the ghouls stat.

Bite: +7 to hit, on a hit:15 (3d6+5) piercing damage.
Claw: +7 to hit, on a hit: 11 (3d4+5) slashing damage.
Why did I add an extra dice to each attack, well going from medium size for the ghoul to large size for the ettin it just makes sense and falls into still less damage then the Ettins regular axe and morning star anyway.
Now to touch one the paralyzing save on the Ettin compared to the ghoul.
I made the Ettin Ghouls Challenge 5.
Kobold fight club tells me a hill giant (CR 5) is an adjusted experience of 1800 x.p for 4 level 4 party members, 5 ghouls is a adjusted experience of 2000 x.p, pretty darn close. that is a total of 110 hit points but a potential 5 paralyzing saves a round, but the +3 difference between the ettin and ghoul makes it onlt 3 saves a round.
So happy with a CR 5.


What I did today thinking at work?

  • Listening to: Adventure Zone ep.s. 47
  • Reading: Belkzen, Hold of the Orc Hordes
  • Watching: The Magicians season one eps.10&11, watched season one of Vanhelsing up to eps. 07, was filling ill so just kept watching. 
  • Playing: D&D 5e in Golarion world
  • Eating: Burger King as the wife is feeling ill
  • Drinking: Had a beer last night
  • Discussion: Trying to get the wife to watch modern family I enjoy and she is not that big of a fan, thought for sure it would have been the other way around? we have watched up to season four years ago and trying to get it up and running again on the T.V is harder then I thought?
