My current Pathfinder campaign should be heading to the Mwangi Expanse sooner or later, and for various reasons, I want to include Tasloi encounters there. I got the D&D 3.5 conversion for Tasloi from this page of WotC's website, and scribbled a PFRPG conversion. I would like to post it here and ask people to help by proofreading it.
Would there be a legal problem with posting that?

Okay, no one's objected. (Hey, if it really comes to that, you can flag me, and some Paizo staffer can delete my post. And if that happens, I'm sorry for the inconvenience.)

This is wonderful. I'm trying to do a conversion of the AD&D adventure I1 Dwellers of the Forbidden City; and this write up will be very helpful.
Wow! Looks like a pure conversion to me (no fudging to "make things work"). Great job detailing the skill bonuses. Great job.
I like how they have a net attack. They can keep their food fresh that way. Will they be attacking from the trees, getting combat bonuses for being on higher ground? Will they use hit-and-run tactics so they can make use of their Stealth skill and target flat-footed opponents?
It also looks like an average single blow will kill them, so running them in combat will be easy, and you can send tons and tons of them after the PCs.
