Inspired both by Vorpal Tribble's 3.5 Monster Advancement Thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=19720&highlight=Monster) and the now-defunct Elite Opponents articles over at Wizards of the Coast, I decided that since working on my own ideas hasn't been going anywhere with my moods as of late, I'd create a thread for d20 Modern creature requests. This may seem crazy, but since it's my game of choice and d20 Modern-related threads have been more common lately...hey, why not? First off, some rules.
I Will...
Advance monsters by hit die/size, or degenerate them in a reversal of such, even beyond the typical size limits of the species if you so wish. That's what the Book of Templates rules for giant and miniature creatures are for.
Apply templates to creatures.
Perform either one or both of the following based on a request that involves a specific monster and Challenge Rating but a general idea (for instance, a request for a "CR 4 intelligent pteranodon" could be fulfilled by the Half-Fiend template or other methods).
Apply mutation and cybernetics from d20 Future.
Accept requests for monsters that use material from the Modern SRD's main, Menace Manual, Urban Arcana, and Future sections.
Accept requests for monsters that use material from most of the "Blood and X" series from RPGObjects (including, but not limited to, Blood and Brains, Blood and Blades, Blood and Relics, and Blood and Time). The exception to this rule is Blood and Circuits and any Blood and Guts title not included in Blood and Guts General Edition, as I do not own those titles.
Accept historical materials from the Imperial Age series and Thrilling Tales series from Adamant Entertainment, or RPGObjects's Modern System-Roaring 20's.
Accept material from the Modern Player's Companion and Future Player's Companions, Modern Magic, Martial Arts Mayhem, and Crime and Punishment from the Game Mechanics.
Use weaponry from Ultramodern Firearms.
Convert a Dungeons and Dragons monster from either the Monster Manual or the Tome of Horrors I-III to d20 Modern rules to the best of my ability, as well as advance/template it with Modern materials if you so wish.
Provide information for Open Game Content materials I use that are outside of the SRD if you so desire.
I Won't...
Use material from d20 Past or d20 Critical Locations. I will use material from d20 Dark*Matter, d20 Apocalypse, d20 Cyberscape, and d20 Future Tech if you wish, but I will only reference page numbers rather than flaunt the legal line by quoting Closed Content.
Create robots. I am willing to modify existing robot stats, but creating them from scratch is a no-go for this thread's purposes.
Use homebrew creatures. I don't know enough about your creations on fire look to do anything like this with them.
Take requests that have no specific base creature or Challenge Rating listed.
Take requests that are outside of my power to create; in such cases, someone can feel free to step in and state their intention to give the request a try, though.
So, with those ground rules laid down, let the requests begin.
