How to convert OD&D and d20 monster to Metatoy?


How to convert from OD&D and d20 monster to Metatoy?

I use 2 type of tables when doing the monster for Metatoy, the one below:


HD
Average
hp roll
Combat/Save
Damage
1
3-4
+1
1d6-1
2
7
+1
1d6
3
10-11
+2
1d6+1

8
28
+4
3d6
9
32
+5
3d6+1

3d6+2
*After 10 HD, each additional HD adds +1 to the damage inflicted.

and this AC, AAC to DEF table below:

  • Some monster in 3E D&D has HD such as 1d10 or 2d8. To convert this, I usually just get rid of the type of dice and pick the front number. i.e. an HD 2d8 monster in 3E is just HD 2 in Metatoy.
  • In 5E D&D, just use monster CR as its HD in Metatoy.

Below are some monster I converted from Monster Manual, some I made up just for the kick. Anyway enjoy your Metatoy monster!

BEAROWL
HD 5+2
DEF 9
Attack:
Claw, Claw, Bite (2d6)



LANDSHARK
HD 9

Tail Swipe (1d6+1) or Bite (2d6) or Deadly Leap (All Close)

Tail Swiping deals damage to 1d3 targets in a Close distance.

Landshark will jump 15ft as part of its movement and land on its feet in a space that contains one or more other creatures. Each creature must make TN 9 Agility or Might save (target's choice) or received 3d6+1 damage. On a successful save, the creature takes only half damage.
