This is the thread that i'm going to be placing my scarred lands conversions. Im planning on converting all 500 or so monsters.
Some Notes.
All of these conversions are pure Crunch I left the fluff out on purpose as in not trying to re invent the creatures and am trying to stay as true to the spirit of the monsters. Just trying to go for useable stats.
Some creatures abilities have been translated into abilities as per the monster Universal rules from the bestiary. In some cases this has takes a slight bit of flavor from the creatures but was done for Clarity. For example The abandoned were originally presented as large humanoids but i decided to throw the giant subtype on them.
Some Creatures are presented as variants and don't get a full stat block. For example Berserker wasps are just represented as a wasp swarm with a tweak or two.
I may be asked to Take these down, I'm not sure how fiery dragon is about this sort of thing.
Scarn was a cool campaign world and i would love to see some new non 4th ed love for the setting.
I hope you enjoy these creatures as much as I

Special:
Attach (Ex) When an Abyssal Lamprey hits with a Bite attack, its barbed sucker latches onto the target, anchoring it in place. An attached Lamprey is effectively grappling its prey. The Lamprey loses its Dexterity bonus to AC and has an AC of 16, but holds on with great tenacity. An Abyssal lamprey has a +8 racial bonus to maintain its grapple on a foe once it is attached. An attached Lamprey can be struck with a weapon or grappled itself—if its prey manages to win a grapple check or Escape Artist check against it, the Lamprey is removed. If said creature succumbs to the lampreys Animal Domination ability Neither creature is considered grappled. AN abyssal Lamprey can use any of its spell like ability as a free action on or through a creature it is attached to.
Animal Domination (Su): The Abyssal Lamprey can, once successfully attached try and control any unintelligent animal (Intelligence 3 or less) As per a Dominate creature spell. The creature is allowed a dc 15 will save to avoid the effect. This effect lasts as long as the Lamprey is attached. This is equivalent to a 3rd level spell.

Special:
Choking Smog Aura (Ex): This functions as an obscuring mist spell (Core 317) constantly centered on the dragon. Any creature within the Smog must roll a dc 22 fortitude save each round or be nauseated in that round.
Crush (Ex): A flying or jumping Huge or larger dragon can land on foes as a standard action, using its whole body to crush them. Crush attacks are effective only against opponents three or more size categories smaller than the dragon. A crush attack affects as many creatures as fit in the dragon’s space. Creatures in the affected area must succeed on a Reflex save (DC 24) or be pinned, automatically taking bludgeoning damage during the next round unless the dragon moves off them. If the dragon chooses to maintain the pin, it must succeed at a combat maneuver check as normal. Pinned foes take 2d8+15 damage from the crush each round if they don’t escape.
Living Furnace (Ex): Anyone struck by, or anyone striking a Firewrack with an unarmed or natural attack Takes an extra 1d6 fire damage and must roll a dc 25 reflex save or catch fire for 1d4 rounds taking 1d6 damage each round.

I have been playing every iteration of d20 since the Chainmail pamphlet came out, and can say without a shred of doubt that Scarred Lands was the best Campaign World ever released commercially.
I applaud your efforts in reviving any part of it and converting to PF - I myself will be running a PF/Scarred Lands campaign sometime next year and will be doing some conversion work myself over the next 3-4 months.
However - I would like to say that IMO - Paizo should buy the rights to the gameworld and set up a conversion schedule - it would be pure gold.
If not that, then perhaps another company using the OGL to do the same.
I really hope Paizo read this and decide to go with it (however unlikely the actuality of it....) because Scarred Lands is the best d20 world and PF the best d20 ruleset - it's a match made in gaming heaven....
I agree and disagree with Caliburn.
Scarred Lands was awesome, but the idea of Paizo re-releasing it fills me with dread and terror because I just spent the last three months weaning my players off Scarn and getting them emotionally invested in Golarion.
We held off from Pathfinder for a while because we wanted to get the most out of our Scarred Lands books. Now that the entire group has dumped thousands of dollars (easily) into Paizo, a resurgence of Scarn activity would just make me cry.
Either way spread the word. Im planning on eventually converting all 500 monsters and updateing their art. That is Just coloring the old black and white pictures useing Photoshop i have about 20 of those done. Maybe this will light a flame under Someones Butt.

Maybe scarred lands is dead i was hoping this would stir up some more interest.

It's a pretty huge project you've set for yourself (500 creatures? Wow!), and, even as a Scarred Lands fan, there's only a few dozen that specifically interest me, so I wouldn't be strongly motivated to comment on the vast majority of them.
I love the setting, and, particularly, the nature of the divine war between the gods and titans, making a neat rationale for why the world is crawling with monsters and ruined cities, and hasn't been settled or developed or 'tamed' by the human/etc. cultures.
I found myself changing stats on some of the beasties. A problem, not just with Creature Collection monsters, but also with Monster Manual, etc. beasties, is that the designers come from a completely different space when designing monsters, and just give them outrageous stats. Goblins described as *barely* sentient end up with the same Intelligence and Wisdom scores as humans. Asaatthi, which are basically just smarter than average lizardfolk (or pre-Freeport serpentfolk), end up with *+20* to their various attributes *before* they get to actually spend points. It's kind of ridiculous.
For 'classic' Scarred Lands beasties, I'd be interested in seeing conversions of Blight Wolves or some of the Hags, maybe Belsamaug or Charduni, Coal Goblins, Ferals (there's a neat mechanic!), High and Low Gorgons, Hollow Knights, Hornsaw Unicorns, Ratlings (love that origin story! rats that became sentient humanoids after consuming the flesh of fallen diety-level beings!), etc.
The Hookwing is another egregious example of WTH-where-they-thinking? A size Tiny creature, suitable for use as a familiar, that bites for 1d6, claws for 1d4 and can do a flyby strike for 1d12? Yikes.
The setting was also fun for some totally unexpected tweaks, such as the corrupted fey (murdersprites, hornsaw unicorns, sundered women) and the creatures you wouldn't expect to be good (paragon crocodiles, sentry crows, skyquills).
About the only major player creature type I'm not in love with from the Creature Collection is the various Slarecian critters. For my own Scarred Lands game, I replaced them completely with mind flayers and related species / thralls / etc.
The notion of coloring in the artwork with photoshop sounds awesome (the Mithral Golem, Red Witch Ratman and Moon Hag seem like they'd look cool, in color), but I don't think the artwork is OGL, so it might be best not to post that online.
Maybe scarred lands is dead i was hoping this would stir up some more interest.
I check the page every time I see you've added an entry. Unfortunately, though, stats and stuff is not what excites me about D&D, and I probably won't have anything to say even if you make exceptionally egregious errors or awesome decisions. It's just not my bag.
Doesn't mean I'm not lurking, though!
Ohh that looks sweet rumere. Im not necessarily looking for help parsay i just wanted to know that there was interest. nobody is saying anything which is making me thing nobody is interested and it kinda sucks the wind from my sales.
My conversions arn't exactly strait across either. Sometimes i have to Nerf or buff something because an ability is similar to but not quite as powerful as a Pathfinder standard ability or the 3.X stats don't match the cr. For example Ally reapers can do frightful presence at will as per the standard pathfinder rule instead of 3/day as in their old entry. Flame wracks got buffed because their damage put them in the cr 15 range they could pump out something like a ridiculous 90 average damage a round which is cr 18 level damage. So i kinda met somewhere in the middle with cr 15.
Sounds like a fun plot hook. My game kind of revolved around the restoration of a titan and didn't have much to to with the Salrecians, as psionics seemed out of place in scarred lands to me.
I was thinking about stating out each of the titans just for fun as Cr 40 critters but not sure if i am going to as it would kinda take away from their mystique.
You all might want to check out/buy into the Slumbering Tsar series. Greg Vaughn has been using a ton of Creature Collection monsters in that series and converting them to Pathfinder so you might find a lot of your work done for you there. It's an investment to be sure but it's also one of the coolest sandbox/dungeon crawls I've seen.

We'd also love to post whichever ones can be posted legally via the OGL to d20pfsrd.com as well. The points of concern are any names or words that are clearly PI/IP (product identity/intellectual property.) If any are posted that do have non-open names or content we either can't post, or the words would have to be exchanged for something else.
Hmm Ill have to keep my eyes peeled for that.
Actually, if you look at the wording in the CC books, all of the names are closed content and only the stat blocks are open content. This very subject came up when I asked in a different thread if Paizo would think about borrowing CC monsters for use in a Bestiary and they won't because they can't use any of the names. Apparently Slumbering Tsar gets away with it because the Necromancer boys have an inside connection from their work on the CCs.
So, legally speaking, you can't post any of them to the d20pfsrd. Which really sucks.
yeah that dose suck unless i were to change the names.
I wonder which monsters are in slumbering Tsar.

@Gururamalamaswami: Well, technically we could post the statistical information without question. Additionally, we could almost certainly post a monster named "Red Devil" as there is no way one could claim the phrase "red devil" as IP/PI. The places of concern would be a monster named something like "Guaronik Spheremaster" in which the words "Guaronik" and "Spheremaster" were made up specifically by a company. The point being that declaring a portion of a monster as open game content does not NECESSARILY mean you can't use other portions, so long as the portion in question is not something uniquely created for that monster etc. It is true though that it is safer and easier simply to ignore content that is encumbered in this way.. it makes it more trouble than its worth trying to dig out the portions that are open game content vs. the parts that aren't.
Ok we can do that any sugjestions on the monster above?
Abandoned = Forest yeti
Abyssal Lamprey = Demon Eel
Firewrack = Char Dragon
Chardun-Slain = War Slain
Alley Reaper = Alley Stalker
Acid Shambler = Caustic Shambler
I was under the impression that Fiery dragon had the IP They are the ones that made the 4e produce from what i heard.

My party fought one of these...and barely survived!
Was it level appropriate or were you just being mean :P
Well, I don't recall whether it was level appropriate, but it was in one of the Serpent modules, so it wasn't me who was being mean.
Did you ever play/run those?
My party got TPK'd at the end of the second one.
Ohh i thought you used my conversion. Never played though. I dont own them either and was wondering if they had any monsters to convert. I imagine being adventures they probably have one or two.
Um, I'd have to look through a bunch of boxes, but I don't recall any monsters that didn't show up in later Creature Collections.
I'll get back to you on that.
The modules were awesome, though. I enjoy reading modules for fun and they're the only full-length Scarred Lands modules. It even forms a proto-Adventure Path! I haven't been to their webpage in forever, but they used to have a prologue mini-adventure available for free.
Hmm interesting im willing to bet though that there is atleast one new monster somwhere in a trillogy of books.
Loved this setting. We used to say that a Scarred Lands 10th level character was way more badass than any other d20 character, simply because of the crazy crap they had to survive to get there. Anyone remember the original 3.0 huror...or the CR 16 demigoddess?

I loved that a worshipper of the shadow-goddess who made a DC 30 or 35 Hide check might sink deep enough into the shadows to draw her notice, and, at her whim, be favored with a whisper or touch, or even a kiss!
That sort of thing was thematic as all heck.
The invocations were kinda neat, too, as well as the Cabalist wizard PrC that tapped into divine invocations to boost his arcane magic. For a setting with such a relatively small number of gods, they had a much bigger 'footprint' on the setting.
Yeah i always thought invocations were pretty interesting. It made haveing a patron mean something if you werent a cleric.

Hell yeah they did!
We played in Scarn for, I'd guess, 2 years before switching over to Golarion, and sometimes my players will still try to invoke Corean or Madriel.
In the second campaign we ran in Scarn, one of my players totally fell for Syhana. The player is still upset that he never got to walk the Rainbow Path. Another player ran a monk devoted to Golthain--that opened up a lot of crazy role-playing. I won't even tell you about what happened when one of the players had their memory wiped by pixies and was introduced to the worship of Vangal (shudder)!
@Clff rice--I think those books must be at my parents' house. I'll look for them this weekend.
