saw something that made me do a double take so: poll
1. for the purposes of this poll, if you have ever written any amount of fanfiction, even just a sentence, even if you don't post it, that counts
2. if you write fanfiction but don't read it please tell me why. i want to study you
#I have written one (1) fanfic and never published it#it was about 15 years ago#well two I guess the other was death note with the serial numbers filed off

5E D&D to Pathfinder 1E Conversion: Golden Goose
I'm back with a new creature for all those who might be interested. This time, after taking a look at the 5E expansion book "Bigby Presents: Glory Of The Giants", I was intrigued by several of the new critters, especially by the Giant Goose. So I decided I might as well try to convert it to Pathfinder First Edition, and this is the result. I changed the name somewhat because "Giant Goose" sounded a little unoriginal to me...
Again, if anyone wants to point out mistakes or imbalances I've made, I would be very grateful, since I'm still kind of inexperienced at writing new monsters.
That said, I hope you will enjoy this conversion.

ECOLOGY
Environment temperate or cold lakes and rivers
Organization solitary, pair, gaggle (3-8) or plump (9-16)
Treasure incidental plus golden egg (see below)
SPECIAL ABILITIES
Golden Egg (Ex): Once per month, as a full-round action and only when commanded by its keeper, a golden goose can lay a golden egg, an hollow shell of gold, 1 foot long and weighing about 2 pounds. The shell is worth 100-400 (1d4 x 100) gp. Sometimes, the egg inexplicably contains some kind of small trinket or minor magic item. The GM can determine the contents of a golden egg by rolling 1d12 and confronting the result with the table below.
1-6 : The egg is empty.
7: The egg is empty, but the inside of the shell is inscribed with a poem or an intricate illustration.
8: A candy egg.
9: A small toy goose that makes a loud honking noise when squeezed.
10: A potion of cure light wounds
11: A scroll of bless
12: An elixir of love
At the GM’s discretion, a golden goose’s egg can be also used to give characters an item that’s important to the story of an adventure or a campaign.
Thunderous Honk (Sp): Once every 1d4+1 rounds, a golden goose can honk with ear-splitting volume. Each creature within 20 feet of the goose (other than the goose itself) takes 2d6 points of sonic damage and is deafened for 1 round. A successful Fortitude save (DC 14) halves the damage and negates the deafened condition. The save DC is Constitution-based.
A magical, oversized version of common, harmless waterfowl, golden geese are rumored to have originated in lands ruled by the faerie. They are often kept by giants as livestock, both for their eggs and because they make for excellent sentries. A golden goose has keen sight and hearing, which allows them to locate unfamiliar creatures with ease, and are capable of emitting loud warning honks that are easily heard in a wide radius. Making them even more valuable is the golden geese’s ability to lay eggs made of pure gold. While the creature is unable to produce more than a single golden egg in a month’s time, gaggles of golden geese kept in captivity can produce a remarkable amount of gold, sometimes even accompanied by a minor magic item or two. However, a golden goose is sapient and will only produce a golden egg if ordered to by a creature it recognizes as its master – at the GM’s discretion, a series of Bluff, Intimidate or Diplomacy checks might be needed in order to be accepted as such by the strong-willed and often unruly creature.
Despite their heightened intelligence, the behavior of golden geese is not much different from that of mundane waterfowl, being gregarious birds that form flocks for mutual protection. They are mostly herbivores, feeding on aquatic plants, weed, roots and grains, but may occasionally integrate their diet with small animals like mice or snakes. Particularly caring masters, usually cloud or storm giants, have been known to share their meals with their favorite golden goose. They tend to pair-bond in long-term monogamous relationships, involving elaborate courtship and displays of affection, and homosexual pairs are not unheard of. A fertile female lays an average of four to six eggs at a time, but fewer eggs or larger numbers are not unusual. Both parents are involved in parental care.
In combat, a golden goose is aggressive and straightforward, opening up with a supernaturally loud honk that will weaken and disorient its victims. Then, it will usually close in on the least-armored opponent and batter it with its beak and wings, honking again as soon as it is able to. Golden geese are not immune to each other’s thunderous honks, and they are smart enough to know that. When more than a single golden goose is met at a time, they will try to position out of their companions’ range and catch opponents in the radius of multiple thunderous honks.
A golden goose is about 9 feet tall, with a wingspan for 16 feet from tip to tip. Their plumage varies in coloration just as much as that of regular geese, but their feathers are always tipped with gold.

Dude, sick reference to Snoop Dogg smoking weed. I can’t believe you’re so clever. You were clever enough to bring up Sm – Snoop smoking weed on your stream, because you KNEW that Snoap Dogg smoke weed, and Smoke Dogg, he is s҉m҉d҉snoop. And you KNEW that if you brought up the Smook Dogg smokin 𝚍veed, that you – people would know that! And they would 𝕔𝕝𝕒𝕡!

Number of Goblins, ranked
One Goblin - That's just a goblin. He's probably just getting his groceries or something. Leave him alone, you asshole.
Ten Goblins -- That's a fairly normal amount of goblins. There's generally around ten goblins in any given situations. They're just here for aesthetic, so you know it's a fantasy world. Remember to tip them when you leave.
One Hundred Goblins -- Ok this is too many goblins, but this is a reasonable amount of too many goblins. Like, this is maybe an army of goblins or something? My point is that they're probably here for a good reason. Best not to mess with them, they're likely load-bearing in some way.
One Thousand Goblins -- This is probably a goblin town, in which case this is really more a case of One Human, which is a completely different list only available on goblintube. If not, all these goblins are lost. Return them to the goblin town. The orcs are worried.
One Million Goblins -- A million goblins? I'm not sure I've even seen a million things in my life , and now there's a million goblins? That's, like, all the goblins. Why are you at a convention of all the goblins? Are you a goblin? Actually, no, that would make sense. Yeah, that's probably what's going on here. Sorry you had to find out this way.
One Billion Goblins -- Ok, look, at this point you have clearly been sent to a future time where humanity is extinct and goblins have inherited the earth. I can think of no other explanation for a billion goblins. This sadly means that you're the weirdo, and you have to go be a cryptid now. At least you can find a phone and read the goblin creepypastas about you.
One Trillion Goblins -- How? What is happening? This is more goblins then there are birds, and they'll all in your house? How is your house this big? Wait, forget the goblins, how is your house this big? Are the goblins here to guillotine you? Probably! Move out of your stupid mansion and let the goblins have it, you weird rich bird-hoarding freak.
One Quadrillion Goblins -- One quadrillion? I'm only like 80% sure that's even a real number! Luckily, you won't have to deal with a quadrillion goblins for long, because soon they'll collapse together under their gravity, forming a far more manageable single planet-sized goblin. Picard's not gonna be happy about this one!
More Goblins -- Fuck off, you do not have more then a quadrillion goblins. Why are you lying? Are you worried I won't like you if you don't claim to have an implausible number of goblins? Don't worry. Your worth is not dependent on your goblin numbers. Go back to the actual number of goblins secure in the fact I love you, no matter how few goblins you have <3
