Jaroo Ashstaff - Benevolent Protector of Hommlet


I decided to try my hand at crafting some NPCs from the original Temple of Elemental Evil campaign. I tried to stay as close to the original as I could. After having done all this work my advice would be that you should only convert what you need as this process took a good about of time. for example using the base stat block for the druid in the Monster Manual and adding a few hit dice and magic items would have probably been a lot faster and more efficient use of my time. But what the heck, it was an interesting experience. I might stat up Elmo too some time.
