Umber Hulk Conversion...and a completely new monster!


Conversions


Greetings all.

I am planning on writing an adventure and I wanted to include a classic monster, the Umber Hulk, but I cannot find anything in the SRD. Maybe I am missing it. Has anyone done the legwork on this already?

Also I had an idea for a completely unique monster that has never been used before. It's called a Flind Mayer and it is a tentacled, psyonic, abberation that dominates and enslaves it's enemies. It eats brains too! I know it's an outside chance, but has anyone developed a creature like this for Pathfinder?

;)

Thanks in advance.

There's some fan-made stuff floating around, but Paizo have repeatedly said they won't touch WotC product identity with a bargepole, since it's a) too potentially litigious, and b) not polite to go behind the back of other people in the industry, many of whom are still their friends.

If you want to recreate a specifically psionic version of the MF, Dreamscarred Press have updated a PF-friendly version of the Psionic rules.

Well, the umber hulk is Product Identity, so belongs to WotC. As such, there can be no official conversion of the monster. And I know of no mind flay... er... flind mayer for Pathfinder.


Hmmm..... so I have a bunch of mind flayer, beholder and other WoTC "intellectual property" miniatures. Some I bought and some I have made myself (octopus minis are a great source for mind flayer tentacles...)

I still play and GM 4e games, so I can use them there, but I see no reason I can't do a conversion or create entirely new monsters based on the minis to use in Pathfinder games.

But if I do a conversion of mind flayers, is there any problem with posting the converted monster here? Or is that a violation of the intellectual property itself?

Seems like you have to be a member to access it, though only a standard member.

His question was 5 years ago.


The download system is temporarily disabled on ENWorld (since they very recently changed forum software) but the link for posterity would be:

Another option is here: Umber Hulk and Mind Flayer.

Many other D&D era monster can be found there converted to Pathfinder.
