Ecology of the Wight / Gravewight Question from Dragon #348

[John Tanzini]

I just wanted to make sure I had the changes to the Gravewight template from 3.0 to 3.5 correct based on your sample monster "The King Beneath the Hill." It looks like the only changes were the Damage Reduction is updated from 5/+1 to 2/bludgeoning, and the duration of the Frightful Presence changes from 5d6 rounds to 4d6 rounds. Is there anything else I missed? Any clarification would be greatly appreciated!

Wow Crickets!!

I'll point Jason to your thread when he gets back from his vacation. He'll be able to give you the answers you need. :)

Thank you Mike, I know the issue is over a year old now but what can I say I'm a slow reader! ;D

In addition to the changes you spotted, it also appears that the +2 bonus to Wisdom was removed, although I am not sure this was intentional. Memories about that time are a bit foggy.

See. I totally knew Jason would answer. He's awesome like that. ^_^

Thanks Mike and Jason! I'll have to get to work and actually stat up Theldrick as a Gravewight for his appearance in The Champion's Belt.
