Hey all,
Mothman mentioned the Campestri in this thread and I really wanted to know if anyone knew of a 3.5 conversion for them somewhere. They originally appeared in Dungeon #40 in the excellent adventure "Song of the Fens".
Will This do?
Are you running this adventure? If so I'd be curious how it turned out. I'm kind of down on that classic as I felt it read better then it played but maybe I'm wrong.

Thanks alot Jeremy, muchly appreciated.
No I'm not playing the adventure, (which I got wrong by the way, Song of the Fens was another Adventure I liked with a singing Troll, the Campestri were in "Old Man Katan and the Incredible, Edible Mushroom Band" from Dungeon #41) I just really remember liking the Campestri alot. I was playing a Dandy Bard when we ran it and I remember Phineas (Agropopple, my Bard) taking some Campestris and teaching them to sing, which really pissed the other Characters off, moreso than Phineas' foppish personality already did. =)You're right, the adventure did read better than it played, but we still enjoyed it and for me the Campestri really put the adventure up a notch.

I just had the most awesome idea!!!
Refering back to my thread, as well as this thread I was thininking of having Campestri as my Plant Companion. They are 1/6 CR, so considering that the Plant Companion in Dragon #357 has a CR of 1, I would say that I get 6 Campestri, which all evolve together. As long as 1 Campestri remains, they grow back to 6. The other option would be to just evolve 1 Campestri to a CR of 1.
Thoughts anyone??

Sounds cool if the DM allows it. I really can't see Campestri unbalancing anything - which might be a problem. Their fun but not usually good at fighting or anything.

I'm actually restructuring what I recall of this adventure into 3.5 format, and I'm playtesting it tomorrow. You can download what I've detailed so far here (just text, the maps aren't done yet):

Any feedback greatly appreciated.

Actually, doesn't HD determine how many animal companions you can have? I may be wrong, but I believe that's how it goes.

You have got to use the cave druid from Mt Zogon as your new avatar!

Honestly, I'm not sure but that's a good point.
The CR of the Generic Plant Companion in the Dragon is 1 and it has 1 HD.
The CR of that Campestri is 1/6 and it also has 1 HD.
So honesly I'm not sure. I could probably live with only having 1 Campestri. It would makemore sense from a Companion point of view.

No, no -- go for the campstri chorus. My neighbor has (I think) eleven, and because the walls in my building are so thin I get to enjoy them just as much as he does. All day and all night. For free, even.
At least I hope that's what that noise was...
My new favorite creature!
