UNISYSTEM WRITE-UPS:

D&D MONSTERS

This page contains write-ups of some of the monsters described in the Monster Manual book of the Dungeon & Dragons 3E game, published by Wizards of The Coast. They are based on an unofficial D&D-to-Unisystem conversion file, written by C.J. Carella. In these write-ups, I have not used all the conversion rules. For example, I converted none of the feats, except for those that were intuitive, like Alertness (Acute Senses) and Weapon Focus (a +1 to the appropriate weapon skill). The idea is to slowly add to this page.

Just in case, this write-ups are not intended to constitute a challenge to Wizards' trademarks and/or copyright. If d20 is your cup of tea, more power to you.
