Ok, am converting the Sunfire's Heart to 5e (appeared in WD 56/57) and have been playing around with the Buggane..incorporating folklore plus the original description...
good points -will get on it. main thing is I think the shapechange should be a bonus action rather than an action as such as if combat lasts 3 rounds is a very expensive trait for little benefit and undermines the whole point of shapechanging.
ok called it an "Adept shapechanger", which allows me to put at top alphabetically
Well then "Adept" as it changes with a bonus action rather than an action, so functionally different from the base shapechanger trait
oh crap, yes. now where were we...Shouldn't we finish off the Chthon before getting too distracted with a new White Dwarf conversion?
