So, for some time I am planning a new campaign for my group (that‘s why it is in the title, to keep my players out).
Back in AP #1 James Jacobs wrote that Lamashtu had plans for the region around Sandpoint. With the new Sandpoint sourcebook, this was a no-brainer to pick up.
I planned this campaign for a long time. Now I am really happy with PF2e and want to convert the BBEG for this campaign to the new rules.
But I have no idea how to do it, as it is a mythic monster. I am talking about the Drakainia (B4, p.76). Thought this would be a fitting agent of Lamashtu. Now, the abilities are not that hard to convert, but the Stats. I could compare her (it?) to Treerazor in the new Bestiary 1, but don‘t know...
Could anybody explain how she/he does such a conversion? I know that Mythic Rules don‘t exist in PF2 (hope something like this will be available in the future, as it was the best GM-tool ever!) and think I will just skip that parts of the monster.
Any thoughts on this?
I am not familiar with that creature, though with mythic creatures, I would build from scratch the pf2 equivalent, but ignore the mythic abilities unless they are an important part of its theme. (If it is a mythic ability that is just there to make it scale better at higher levels, that isn't generally needed in pf2).
Looking at the stat block on AoN, the only explicitly mythic abilitys are mythic power surge (the generic mythic ability that all mythic creatures seem to have) and the ability to maximize healing or prevent non mythic creatures from making saves. None of those things are really important to the theme of the creature, and can safely be ignored.
Content warning: the below is a note on some themes of sexual assault and generally grossness that is in the rules for the 1e version of the creature in question, you have been warned.
On another note, I would be super careful with using that monster, it looks like the main part of its theme is forcefully impregnating people, and not the kind that say, an akata or a Xenomorph does, but actually real pregnancy.
That's some potentially really uncomfortable territory, so I would maybe talk to your players (one on one) about whether they are okay with those things being a part of the game.
