D&D, OSR and AD&D monsters in Torg Eternity (Conversions)

 To use the Monster Manuals or other sources for creatures I just apply the following rules of thumb:


Wounds: Hit Dice (HD) divided by 2 and rounded up.

Toughness: Armor Class (minimum 5) + Hit Dice (HD)

Shock: based on Torg Strength stat (see below)

Stats: if given can be used one to one (creatures deserve the boos in power in Torg, because the players have that may cards and Possibilities), otherwise 7 + Hit Dice (HD) as baseline. Obviously you will need to make changes here, if something makes no sense (e.g. Charisma for a Ooze)

I am using OSR resources for my Aysle game, therefore I am working from a very limited base.

Pregen Characters for D&D5

After looking for a long time my impression is that the following is the best resource for pregenerated characters for D&D: D&D Premade Characters

Any other resouces for pregens?

I'd be thankful, if you share some in the comments.
