Eeridik: Wererat Sor8; hp 43; See Appendix 3.

Tactics: Eeridik casts bull's strength, bear's endurance, and ...

Dire Rats (6): hp 4, 5, 5, 4, 6, 3; see Monster Manual page 64.

The petrification trap is assumed to be a flesh to stone spell, as it is specified as magical and the DC matches a 6th level spell for searching and disabling. The CR, therefore, should be 7 and is calculated as +1 (magical base) +6 (spell level).

Eeridik: Male Human Wererat Sor8; Medium Humanoid (human, shapechanger) Human Form; CR 10; HD 8d4+16 plus 1d8+3 (hp 43); Init -1; Spd 30ft; AC 14 (+2 bracers, +2 natural, +1 deflection, -1 Dex; touch 10, flat-footed 14); BAB +4; Grapple +4; Atk +5 melee (1d4+1/19-20, +1 dagger) or +4 ranged (1d4+1/19-20, +1 dagger); Full Atk +5 melee (1d4+1/19-20, +1 dagger) or +4 ranged (1d4+1/19-20, +1 dagger); SA None; SQ Alternate form, rat empathy, lowlight vision, scent; Space/Reach 5/5; SV Fort +6, Ref +3, Will +13; Str 10, Dex 8, Con 14, Int 13, Wis 16, Cha 16.

Skills and Feats: Climb +11, Concentration +13, Craft (alchemy) +12, Diplomacy +5, Listen +5, Sense Motive +7, Spellcraft +12, Spot +5, Swim +8; Alertness, Brew Potion, Combat Casting, Dodge, Iron Will, Mobility, Silent Spell, Weapon Finesse.

Spells Known (6/7/7/6/3; base DC = 13 + spell level): 0th - arcane mark, detect magic, detect poison, mage hand, message, open/close, read magic, resistance; 1st - disguise self, expeditious retreat, identify, magic missile, shield; 2nd - bear's endurance, bull's strength, cat's grace; 3rd - haste, lightning bolt; 4th - stoneskin.

Alternate Form (Su): A wererat can assume a bipedal hybrid form or the form of a dire rat.

Rat Empathy (Ex): Communicate with rats and dire rats, and +4 racial bonus on Charisma-based checks against rats and dire rats.

Possessions: Bracers of armor +2, +1 dagger, ring of protection +1, wand of arcane lock (11 charges), arcane scroll of greater invisibility.

All lycanthropes' wisdom increases by 2 and gain Iron Will.

The ability gains (Dex +6, Con +2) only apply to the hybrid and animal forms.

Eeridik cannot use Dodge or Mobility in human form because he does not qualify for the prerequisites in that form, but he can still take the feats.

Eeridik cannot use Curse of lycanthropy in human form, at all. Moreover.

His points are calculated much differently in 3.5. Also, the HD from rat now counts, and actually adds a feat. This is very useful, but it somewhat negates the biggest nerf from 3.5, that he cannot cast spells with verbal components in hybrid form.

The DR does not apply in human form.

Message is now a 0th level spell, so I replaced ghost sound with it (I thought it more useful in his position), and added identify. Alternatively, you could just replace message with a 1st level spell of your choice, such as ventriloquism.

Stoneskin requires a very expensive component, but Eeridik does not have it listed in his possessions. If the PCs see him cast stoneskin or knows he has cast it, they will be looking through his possessions for the diamonds. I suggest adding 2-3 uses of diamond dust (250gp each) to his possessions. He will probably it once on Tac and save the remaining two 4th level slots for silent lightning bolts while in hybrid form (similar DR).

Eeridik: Male Human Wererat Sor8; Medium Humanoid (human, shapechanger) Hybrid Form; CR 10; HD 8d4+16 plus 1d8+3 (hp 43); Init +2; Spd 30ft; AC 18 (+2 bracers, +3 natural, +1 deflection, +2 Dex; touch 13, flat-footed 15); BAB +4; Grapple +4; Atk +7 melee (1d4+1/19-20, +1 dagger) or +6 melee (1d4, claw) or +7 ranged (1d4+1/19-20, +1 dagger); Full Atk +7 melee (1d4+1/19-20, +1 dagger) and +1 melee (1d6 plus disease, bite); or +6 melee (1d4, 2 claws) and +1 melee (1d6 plus disease, bite); or +7 ranged (1d4+1/19-20, +1 dagger); SA Curse of lycanthropy, disease; SQ Alternate form, rat empathy, damage reduction 10/silver, lowlight vision, scent; Space/Reach 5/5; SV Fort +7, Ref +6, Will +13; Str 10, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 13, Wis 16, Cha 16.

Skills and Feats: Climb +13, Concentration +14, Craft (alchemy) +12, Diplomacy +5, Listen +5, Sense Motive +7, Spellcraft +12, Spot +5, Swim +10; Alertness, Brew Potion, Combat Casting, Dodge, Iron Will, Mobility, Silent Spell, Weapon Finesse.

Alternate Form (Su): A wererat can assume a bipedal hybrid form or the form of a dire rat.

Curse of Lycanthropy (Su): Any humanoid or giant hit by a wererat’s bite attack in animal or hybrid form must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or contract lycanthropy.

Disease (Ex): Filth fever; bite, Fortitude DC 16, incubation period 1d3 days, damage 1d3 Dex and 1d3 Con. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Rat Empathy (Ex): Communicate with rats and dire rats, and +4 racial bonus on Charisma-based checks against rats and dire rats.

Possessions: Bracers of armor +2, +1 dagger, ring of protection +1, wand of arcane lock (11 charges), arcane scroll of greater invisibility.

Eeridik cannot inflict the Curse of lycanthropy through the dagger. It can only be done through the bite.

Eeridik cannot cast spells with verbal components in hybrid form. This is why I chose Silent Spell as the bonus feat. A suggested house rule in this respect is to allow Natural Spell to work for lycanthropes. If you do, then that is far preferable to Silent Spell.

It is assumed Eeridik is a natural lycanthrope because he can control his form. This now plays an important point because it determines how much DR he gets.

Eeridik: Male Human Wererat Sor8; Small Humanoid (human, shapechanger) Dire Rat Form; CR 10; HD 8d4+16 plus 1d8+3 (hp 43); Init +2; Spd 40ft, Climb 20ft; AC 16 (+1 size, +3 natural, +2 Dex; touch 12, flat-footed 14); BAB +4; Grapple +0; Atk +7 melee (1d4 plus disease, bite); Full Atk +7 melee (1d4 plus disease, bite); SA Curse of lycanthropy, disease; SQ Alternate form, rat empathy, damage reduction 10/silver, lowlight vision, scent; Space/Reach 5/5; SV Fort +7, Ref +6, Will +13; Str 10, Dex 14, Con 16, Int 13, Wis 16, Cha 16.

Rat Empathy (Ex): Communicate with rats and dire rats, and +4 racial bonus on Charisma-based checks against rats and dire rats.

Eeridik cannot cast spells with verbal or somatic components in rat form. With his bonus feat, I gave him Silent Spell. You might consider replacing Dodge and Mobility with Still Spell and Eschew Materials if you want him to cast spells in Dire Rat form.

Rather than Silent Spell, couldn't Eeridik take Natural Spell for his bonus feat? I know that that feat specifies "Wild Shape" as a prereq, but IMO a Lycanthrope's shapechange ability is a very reasonable analog for that. Natural Spell would let him cast all his spells in all forms, without the level penalty.

Tac: Male Human Mnk9; Medium Humanoid (human); CR 9; HD 9d8+18 (hp 78); Init +3; Spd 60ft; AC 20 (+2 Wis, +3 Dex, +2 bracers, +1 natural, +1 deflection; touch 17, flat-footed 17); BAB +6; Grapple +7; Atk +9 melee (1d10+1, unarmed strike); Full Atk +9/+9/+4 melee (1d10+1, flurry of blows); SA Monk abilities; SQ Monk abilities; AL CE; SV Fort +8, Ref +9, Will +8; Str 13, Dex 16, Con 14, Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 12.

Skills and Feats: Balance +17, Climb +13, Hide +15, Jump +15, Listen +12, Move Silently +15, Spot +8, Tumble +17; Alertness, Deflect Arrows, Dodge, Improved Trip, Improved Unarmed Strike, Mobility, Spring Attack, Stunning Fist, Weapon Finesse.

Stunning Fist (Ex): 9/day, DC 16.

Monk Abilities: Improved Evasion, Ki Strike (magic), Purity of Body, Slow Fall (40ft), Still Mind, Wholeness of Body.

Possessions: Bracers of armor +2, amulet of natural armor +1, ring of sustenance, ring of protection +1, potion of blur, potion of bull's strength, potion of bear's endurance, potion of darkvision, potion of resist energy (cold).

Flurry of blows no imposes no penalty, so his attacks went up. He was missing a feat, so weapon finesse was added, also improved his attack rolls.

He gains ki strike (magic), loses 10ft of slow fall, and loses leap of the clouds.

A ring of warmth no longer exists (due to the change in endure elements), so I replaced it with something of similar value (and same slot, ring) and flavor (potion). If the difference in value (about 7500gp) doesn't bother you, then replace the ring of protection and potion with a ring of minor energy resistance (cold).

Bebilith: hp 150; see Monster Manual page 42.
The bebilith is CR 10 now, not CR 9. For this he has gained about +50% hp, but loses protective aura and his DR is now 10/good.

No search DC to notice the secret buttons is listed. A DC of 22 is suggested.

Dire Bear: hp 113; see Monster Manual page 63.
Dire bears (like all animals) gain feats. It is slightly stronger for this change and gains Toughness, so I upped his hp (already above average).

Reokallitan: Male Troglodyte Rog3/Clr4; CR 8; Medium Humanoid (reptilian); HD 6d8+6 plus 3d6+3 (hp 49); Init +2; Spd 20ft (base 30ft); AC 25 (+6 natural, +8 full plate, +1 Dex; touch 11, flat-footed 24); BAB +6; Grapple +7; Atk +8 melee (1d6+2/19-20, +1 short sword) or +9 ranged (1d6+1, javelin); Full Atk +6/+1 melee (1d6+2/19-20, +1 short sword) and +6 melee (1d6/19-20, masterwork short sword) and +5 melee (1d4, bite); or +9 ranged (1d6+1, javelin); or +7 melee (1d4+1, 2 claws) and +5 melee (1d4, bite); SA Rebuke undead 4/day, sneak attack +2d6, stench; SQ Darkvision 60ft, (evasion), insanity, trapfinding, trap sense +1; Space/Reach 5/5; AL NE; SV Fort +, Ref +6, Will +6; Str 13, Dex 15, Con 12, Int 11, Wis 15 (13*), Cha 12.
* Adjusted to take insanity into account.

Skills and Feats: Balance -1, Bluff +4, Concentration +5, Disable Device +5, Hide +8*, Listen +8, Knowledge (religion) +4, Move Silently -1, Search +3, Spot +4; Ability Focus (stench), Multiattack, Scribe Scroll, Two Weapon Fighting, Weapon Focus (javelin).

Stench (Ex): When a troglodyte is angry or frightened, it secretes an oily, musk-like chemical that nearly every form of animal life finds offensive. All living creatures (except troglodytes) within 30 feet of a troglodyte must succeed on a DC 14 Fortitude save or be sickened for 10 rounds. The save DC is Constitution-based. Creatures that successfully save cannot be affected by the same troglodyte’s stench for 24 hours. A delay poison or neutralize poison spell removes the effect from the sickened creature. Creatures with immunity to poison are unaffected, and creatures resistant to poison receive their normal bonus on their saving throws.

Insanity (Ex): Insanity score 2. Wis 17 for bonus spells and DCs; Wis 13 for all other Wis-based checks.

Spells Prepared (5/5/4; base DC = 13 + spell level): 0th--cure minor wounds, detect magic, detect poison, guidance, resistance; 1st--bane, command, cure light wounds (2), lesser confusion*; 2nd--bear's endurance, bull's strength, summon monster II, Tharizdun's Touch*.
* Domain spell. Deity: Elder Elemental Eye. Domains: Earth (turn or destroy air creatures, rebuke or command earth creatures); Madness (1/day add Insanity score to Wis-based roll).

Possessions: +1 short sword, divine scroll of summon monster II, divine favor, and bless, masterwork short sword, 4 javelins, full plate armor, curved knife, 21gp, 120gp gold bracelet, earth temple symbol, lesser key of earth.

No ambidexterity in 3.5, so he gains a feat. I chose Ability Focus (stench) signifying that Reokallitan smells particularly bad, even to other troglodytes. An alternative choice for a feat is Quick Draw, which would be very useful for a two weapon wielding rogue with a BAB of +6.

With his armor, he cannot use evasion. Also, rogues now do not get uncanny dodge until 4th level, so his flat-footed AC changed.

6. Bear's Endurance for 1 hour.
Gray Render: hp 125; see Monster Manual page 138.

Strike the paragraph about using the haste glyph. Haste no longer provides an additional partial action.

At first, I thought to change the time of the buff glyphs to 1 minute, but then I realized that the time was nonstandard anyway, so changing it didn't seem right. If you decide to change it, though, I suggest 10 minutes (reflecting the caster level 10 assumed from the haste glyph).

The rend ability of the monster is a little weaker, but the gray render gets 4 feats and an improved BAB by the change in type to magical beast from beast.

That would not be correct, either, because he has combat casting. What I did was calculate the number of skills and try to keep as close to the original as possible, then spend any leftover skill points (or subtract any extra skill points, but that has not happened in any 3.5 conversion I've seen). I'm fairly sure the skills are correct, otherwise, but I'm sure a mistake is possible.
