Title: Bestiary from Frostgrave for Ghost Archipelago (and making your own monsters)
Post by: Darksider on October 07, 2018, 06:44:12 PM
As my title says. Have some of you ever tried this using monsters from the frostgrave bestiary for ghost archipelago?
Would there be some issues with the rules? I would like to use some gnolls for my ghost archipelago games and some of the other undead, maybe a werewolf too ;).

Also did someone made his own monsters for a campaign? Is there a guideline or something for making things easier?

Want to put some of my hordes minis in my games and some other stuff, but I don't know if i should use existing rules for monsters or make my own.

I don't want to create overpowerd monsters.

Here's a try for my gatormen for my ghost archipelago game.

M F S A W HP
6 3 0 12 2 14
Amphibious, Scales (counts as heavy armor, but no penalty for swimming), Crushing Maw (the gatorman gets a second attack with these if he starts his activition next to an enemy, counts as handweapon), Weapon (select a basic weapon for the gatorman)

What do you think of that? To strong or to weak?

Shouldn't be a problem using Frozen City monsters for Ghost Archipelago. I'm sure the gnolls will port right in. Maybe take one or two points of the gnoll spawn table to reduce the power level a little bit, especially if the players are low level.

Your gatorman looks pretty scary with the double fight actions, but I would play with it.

any and everything - just a question of trial and error.
beauty of a light framework game.

It shouldn't be a big problem, as everyone else has said.

We imported a family of Frostgrave Vampires into our last Ghost Archipelago game.  The one thing we did find though was that unlike Frostgrave, there aren't magic weapons laying around on every street corner like there is in Feldstad  :), so even though we're 9 games into our Campaign, hardly any crew had them.  Therefore, we had to make a house rule that normal weapons would do half damage instead of no damage.

Thanks for the answers ;).

It's good to know, that most of the stuff seems to fit really good into both games. Vampires are not on my list at the moment, but maybe someday we will fight some on a coast (where they rise undead pirates ;) )

Any suggestions to my gatorman? Should I change something?
