Creating a PathFinder Predator


Conversions


I love to mix in multiple sources into my campaigns. I found one example where one writer has taken a stab at creating PathFinder stats for a Xenomorph (Alien). I've spent a couple weeks searching but have found no such stats for the Predator (Yuat'Ja in their own language). Hoping someone here has either found such stats, created them themselves, or is willing to give it a try.

I created something like this years ago in 1st and 2nd edition using something like a bone devil as a framework. Really creeped out my players too. It would make a good adventure in Numeria for a Pathfinder game. Strange metal object falls from the sky, now people are disappearing and a growing army of strange bony creatures with corrosive blood have begun to appear.

So you created the Alien (Xenomorph)?


Someone over at the GitP forum has made the Yuat'Ja and the Xenomorph as a race/class and a group of monsters.

Yeah, pretty much. I think we did a Predator xenomorph once too, but it wasn't as memorable. Really it's just a hyped op invisible stalker.

I don't know, this might be the kind of place where you might actually give them FCB for Slayer...
