Basically it's a marine dragon that can't breathe air & it looks a lot like a pleasasuor.

Not my highest priority at the moment - I am focusing on monsters that could show up in my own campaign.

But feel free to take a stab at it. ;)

Are you only converting monsters? I would be very interested in feats and advantages of the DnD/pathfinder classes :)

Hardly that - here is the section page of the D&D conversion efforts. Monsters are the single biggest subsection so far, but others do exist (such as the racial templates).

Admittedly, it doesn't have a page for feats and advantages, but give me until tomorrow and I will try to whip up a "Power-Ups" subsection, which is probably how we should label feats and advantages of the D&D and Pathfinder classes (I likely won't be able to do this today, though - today it's too hot to think clearly around here...).

We should probably start a separate thread for those, though - to keep this one focused on monster conversions.

I'm working on lycanthropes at the moment, after which I'll work on the rest of Monsters & Treasure, then Greyhawk. Those monsters will take care of most of the core D&D monsters, once you take into account the monsters that are already in GURPS.

...further work on this from my side will have to wait for a while, due to sudden impending telephone job interview.

There is no normalization going on to my knowledge. I certainly do none myself. Like you, I don't like it; then again, I run a sandbox, and expect PCs to run.

What I think happened with the wyrm black dragon is that Collective Restraint took the D&D Strength score and set it to GURPS ST. The problem with that is that the dragon in question is so big that this relationship no longer holds, and this dragon should have ST 70 or thereabouts. Personally, I would go with the dragons Faolyn made unless you (or someone) beefs up this dragon.
