That post was very interesting. I would certainly like to see Prep Time chopped for 3.5.
I was comparing the Succubus from 3E and the 4E version. And the 3E version looks like a massive headache next to it. I tried to simplify the 3E format to make it easier for the DM to run.
These are the changes I made to simplify and make the stat block better/clearer:
3E stat block ---> 3.5 new stat block
Skills ---> pathfinder merged skills
Togues ---> languages all
Energy drain ---> simplified
Charm Monster, Suggestion --> Special Attacks
Detect thoughts, detect good ---> Senses
Teleport, ethereal jaunt ---> Speed
Change Shape --> Special Quality
Persuasive ---> Skills
Dodge, Mobility ---> AC
It's still a lot more info than for the 4E but a lot better organized and quicker to comprehend, with no annoying references.
