Our group has recently switched over to Pathfinder from 4e and we are loving the change. I could use some assistance from the community though. I am wondering if anyone out there has come up with some general guidelines for converting 4e monsters to Pathfinder? I would be most grateful for any assistance.
The campaign that I have been running (dm created, not published) involved Spriggans as one of the key group of villains. Any suggestions?

Think there was a 3.0 Spriggan in the Fiend Folio, you should be able to convert to Pathfinder from there.
Yep, it is in the Field Folio, let me know if you need it converted, sadly its not OGL so we can't convert it and get it up on the Pathfinder SRD.

I believe it was in the Tome of Horrors 1, which is OGL, and from which we already have *very* many monsters converted. We just haven't gotten to the Spriggan yet. If a collaborator wants to jump out of order and do that one as a special case, I'd be more than fine with it. We already did that for a special request to build a young adult black dragon.

I usually use the level as the creatures hit dice and then work from there using the monster creation rules in the Bestiary. If something similar already exists in 3.5/PFRPG I will use that as a framework. Otherwise I try and find abilities that produce similar effects as the power of the creature I'm converting.
So if a creature is in one place as non-OGL content and then somewhere else as OGL content it is OK to use?
