I was in fact thinking the same... If you apply the Collective_Restraint guidelines (wich i find quite good) a mature Dragon got something like 22 "natural" AC: it traslates into 11 "ordinary" DR + 5 "against all non magical weapons" DR = 16 DR... (and can be more for older ones) Nasty beasts in settings without assault rifles; but I think this copy better the "awesome, huge, all powerful, D&D Big D."

I had time to add the critters from the White Plume Mountain conversion found in this thread on my website (look in my sig). You can find the conversion under -> Articles -> Dungeon Fantasy -> Quick & Dirty conversion of D20SRD Monsters to GURPS. The number of critters available is now up to 69. Enjoy !

I made conversion of All chromatic and metallic dragons on my site: http://jamesfoxbr.blogspot.com/searc...l/Drag%C3%B5es
The site is Portuguese, but the traits use English

Red Dragon Example: http://jamesfoxbr.blogspot.com/2011/...-vermelho.html

I popped in for a look at the beasties - not my scene but great work - and the first I looked at was the Ankheg. Giant insect, yes? Description says 10ft 800lb. I'd be tempted to up the stats to ST30, DR6 and SM+1 so kmunoz suggestion (quoted above) would appear to apply.

Google Translate does a functional job of translating your site to English, if not a very nice job. Good work!

I know this is a really old thread necro, but I am seriously grasping at strings here. Does anyone still have a pdf archive of Collective_Restraint's D&D monster conversions? Or is it included in someone's else bestiary? Since there is no full official Bestiary book for 4th edition, I was trying to gather every bestiary creature I can find that are from good, expansive sources. As someone who loves D&D, his collection sounds awesome.
