[QUOTE="Cleon, post: 6989749, member: 57383"] Come to think of it, I remember there being AD&D stats for standard cobras in an old [I]Dragon[/I] article. Did we ever convert those or are there existing 3E Cobra stats. Let me check Echohawk's Index… …okay, we have "Snake, Poisonous, Cobra" in [I]Dragon #237[/I] as one of the seven poisonous snakes in that entry. I vaguely recall we decided they weren't really worth the time considering they'd likely come out pretty close to the SRD Viper. The Cobra in that entry is a 3 HD Medium-sized animal so would fix my "I don't like a Large hybrid form Werecobra" problem. So I guess we could convert that AD&D Cobra into 3E and then turn that into a Werecobra. Oh, hold on - the Index says [I]Dragon 341[/I] has 3.5 stats for a King Cobra. That might do. I'll pull out that issue and check its numbers. There are also early edition stats for a Spitting Cobra in various sources. That might be worth converting - at least its ranged attack would make it a bit more interesting than a regular snake. There are also a few cobras in specific campaign worlds - the Black Cobra and White Cobra of Mystara plus the Water Cobra of Nehwon - but from what I remember they're pretty much regular vipers in 3E terms.
