The Dungeoneer is the last of the three optional character classes left out of the original MyD20 Lite rules. It embodies the Mage-Rogue concept as a single class, with a greater emphasis on skills in exchange for a slower spell progression.
Dungeoneer
The Dungeoneer embodies the arcane thief, trading some of the Mage's aptitude for arcane magics in order to gain some of the Rogue's skill expertise. Dungeoneers are commonly found among cultures that emphasize both magic and education, and tend to resolve conflicts through a balance between reasoning and evasion.

Nice. I like the conversion here. Sounds like a nasty critter.
A note: Is your movement rate conversion accurate?
12" (fly 20") seems like it should convert to 6 sq(fly 10), rather than 6 sq (fly 8).
It's perfectly understandable. You are assuming a straight one-to-one relationship of distance. Since I tend to play on a tabletop with minis, I use a conversion from Savage Worlds in halves the difference in speed above or below the human norm. This same conversion appears to be used in 4E, as well, but in spite of that, I still like it. It brings dragon flight and other large movement numbers down to a more manageable size for the purposes of using a mat.
BTW, this comment should probably have been put on post for the Malniatu translation. ;)
Hope This Helps,

Whoops, didn't mean to post it here!
Thanks for the explanation of the flying speeds. Rarely comes up "in-game" anyway, but thanks for the clarification.
