Since they came up in another thread (http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showthread.php?t=29354), here are some of my Middle Earth - D&D conversions. It's all based on Rolemaster ( = "I don't care whether you think it represents Middle Earth "reality" accurately or not, because I'm not interested in scratch-creating anything").

The creatures are largely MM conversions and combinations, with some tweaks. Pretty much everything is at least somewhat based on existing creatures (to help gauge CRs and LAs).

NB: Middle Earth's werewolves are obviously based on Medieval werewolves - the idea of an evil person using sorcery or a magic item to change shape into a wolf. Beren uses a werewolf's pelt, and Sauron uses his own magic, to turn into a werewolf. Why the name (werewolf - "man-wolf") is applied to creatures that obviously didn't change shape (Sauron's werewolves, Morgoth's own wolf, etc.), I wouldn't know.

Barrow-Wight: CR 7; Medium Undead (Incorporeal); HD 7d12; hp 45; Init +7; Spd 40 ft.; AC 21 (+3 Dex, +2 deflection, +6 +1 breastplate), touch 15, flat-footed 13; Base Atk/Grp +3/+5; Atk +1 longsword +6 melee (1d8+3, 19-20) or touch +6 melee (1d8 plus energy drain and paralysis); Space/Reach 5 ft./5 ft.; SA Energy drain, frightful presence, hypnotic voice; SQ Darkvision 60 ft., ghost hand, incorporeal traits, sunlight powerlessness, undead traits; AL LE; SV Fort +2, Ref +5, Will +7; Str 14, Dex 16, Con --, Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 15.
Skills: Hide +13, Intimidate +12, Knowledge (nobility and royalty) +12, Listen +14, Search +12, Spot +14, Survival +2 (+4 following tracks)
Feats: Alertness, Improved Initiative, Lifesense
Energy Drain (Su): Living creatures hit by a barrow-wights’s incorporeal touch attack gain one negative level. The DC is 15 for the Fortitude save to remove a negative level. The save DC is Charisma-based. For each such negative level bestowed, the barrow-wight gains 5 temporary hit points.
Frightful Presence (Ex): A barrow-wight can unsettle foes with its mere presence. The ability affects all creatures within 30 feet. A potentially affected creature that succeeds on a Will save (DC 15) remains immune to that barrow-wight’s frightful presence for 24 hours. On a failure, creatures with 4 or less HD become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with 5 or more HD become shaken for 4d6 rounds.
Ghost Hand (Ex): Unlike most incorporeal creatures, barrow-wights can manipulate physical objects, and have a Strength score. They can wield weapons and wear armor. Their armor and weapons are not resistant to damage from corporeal sources, but their bodies remain so. A barrow-wight's touch attack is not incorporeal, and they can grapple opponents (and frequently do so).
Hypnotic Voice (Su): Anyone within 30 feet of a barrow-wight must succeed at a Will save (DC 15) or be affected as if by the dominate person spell. The only command the barrow-wight ever gives is for the victims to follow it into its tomb, where it will slay them.
Paralysis (Su): Touch, Will save (DC 15) or paralyzed for 1 minute.
Sunlight Powerlessness (Ex): Barrow-wights are powerless in natural sunlight (not merely a daylight spell) and flee from it. A barrow-wight caught in sunlight cannot attack and can take only a single move or attack action in a round. If a barrow-wight's tomb is broken open and sunlight admitted within, the barrow-wight fades into the mist and is destroyed forever.
Possessions: +1 longsword, +1 breastplate. Barrow-wights frequently make use of whatever items were buried with them.

Feats: Alertness, Flyby Attack, Hover, Multiattack
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a fell beast must hit with its talons. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and bites.

A fell beast can slash with its talons only when making a flyby attack.MM true dragons and Draconomicon landwyrms take the place of winged and wingless dragons (wingless ones apparently being at least as common as winged ones). You can switch their elemental affinities around (fire being the most common).

Night twists are evil trees. For treants, just advance the MM treant as much as you please.

War trolls were converted to olog-hai (with the giant type), and mountain trolls to cave/mountain trolls, but I've omitted them since the original creatures are from MM2.

The watcher in the water is an advanced darktentacles.

All sorts of other creatures fit into Middle Earth with no conversion at all (dragon turtles, krakens, giant eagles, giants, undead, golems, etc.)

I posted my Nazgûl template before, and can't be bothered to do it again.

Thanks!

I like that you've put an LA on the Noldor and Sindar, and that Noldor are Outsiders.

Personally, though, I don't think d20 Fantasy is the system we need to use for Middle Earth. There could be a version of the d20 system that comes close, but the d20 Fantasy SRD isn't it.

Still, it's nice to have some stats for some of JRRT's cooler things.
