Only problem is, I can't think of what to put in.
Should I be scaring Bert, or Abner, what text colors should I use, and what should they say to keep it "original", how to represent their accents, stuff like that.
"Stop try-an tah hit that thing again, Bert. I already cut off it's head, dudn't I.....? WHOAH! HIT IT! HIT IT!"
Would that be good to put in? It doesn't seem to have the right... flair. Or color?
I've varied the colors over time. I generally just substitute ah for I and anything that ends in ing is now in'.

"I m Ar k u ..."
I'd put a bio for Arakune here but I'm not sure f it would put me in trouble...
Blast (Su): 5 times per day (once every 1d4 rounds) Arakune can unleash a blast of Force energy in either a 10' Radius centered around himself (to which he is immune) or in a 30' Line doing 20d6 Force damage. He may also do this to a Grappled opponent in lieu of a Grapple attack, but this causes his opponent to escape the Grapple.
Gas (Su): Once per round as a Swift Action Arakune can exhale a small vaporous cloud covering a 5'x5'x5' area. If anyone enters the crowd they attract the insects hidden within Arakune's body on subsequent rounds (see below) for 1d6 rounds.
Astral Finish (Su): 3 times per day as a Full Attack Arakune can turn into a giant eye, move, and make a melee touch attack. If the touch attack is successful his opponent must make a DC 27 Willpower Save or Die. If the Save is successful the opponent takes 3d6 damage instead.
Summon Bugs (Su): If an opponent who has been exposed to Arakune's Gas Attack is within 30' of him he can call up a Bell Bug, Bee or Ground Bug once per round as a Swift Action. They remain until killed or the gas wears off.
Attack from Below (Ex): As a Full Round attack Arakune can plunge a tentacle into the ground, and Limb attack any opponent standing on it up to 30' away. He likes to perform trip attacks in this manner.
Engulf (Ex): Arakune can make Grapple Checks without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If the opponent is his Size Class or smaller he can Engulf them on a successful Grapple Check, and do 2d10+10 damage as long as the Grapple is maintained.
Pounce (Ex): Arakune can make a Full Attack as part of a Charge. He can also make a Trip Attack as part of a Charge.
Teleport (Su): Arakune can Teleport to any location within 30' a number of times per day equal to his Constitution Score.
Merge (Ex): Arakune can meld into porous surfaces like dirt and sand as a Swift Action once per round. While melded he is considered to have Total Concealment, and is effectively invisible to his opponent as long as he takes no action other than moving under the surface (must be at least 10' deep).
Invisibility (Su): Arakune can use Invisibility a number of times per day equal to his Constitution Score.
Fluid Body (Ex): Due to his lack of internal organs Arakune gets the following abilities from his somewhat fluid body: a Deflection Bonus to Armor Class equal to his Constitution Score. Also due to his ability to morph the bones floating withing his body he can choose to do bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage when he attacks.
Insanity (Ex): Arakune is permanently and incurably insane. To communicate with another being for 1 round requires a DC 30 Concentration Check. Using any Int or Cha based skill requires a DC 20 Concentration Check. Once per week or so he has a lucid period lasting 1d4 minutes in which these penalties do not apply. While he is not lucid, those trying to look into his mind via telepathy or similar powers such a Detect Thoughts must make a DC 27 Willpower Save (Save DC is Wisdom Based) or be Dazed 1 round.
Immunities (Ex): Immune to poison, sleep effects, paralysis, polymorph, disease, Mind-Affecting Effects, and is not subject to critical hits or flanking. He is also immune to Swarm attacks. Arakune does not sleep.
Skills: Arakune is very dark colored and gains a +8 Racial Bonus to Hide Checks in areas of shadowy illumination. He also gets a +8 Racial Bonus to Escape Artist Checks.
Combat: Arakune uses his superior movement and agility to outmaneuver opponents while awaiting an opportunity to Gas them and then Summon help. If that fails his invisibility comes into play, and he has quite a few options to rely on for tougher opponents.

Milo v3

Food: I think he needs to eat as in the first game his story mode had you chose whether you eat the opponent or not.
Sleep: Don't think so.
Water: Probably for the insects inside him.

Attach (Ex): If a Bell Bug hits with a touch attack, it latches onto the opponent's body. An attached Bell Bug is effectively grappling its prey. The Bell Bug loses its Dexterity bonus to AC and has an AC of 14, but holds on with great tenacity. Bell Bugs have a +12 racial bonus on grapple checks (already figured into the Base Attack/Grapple entry above). An attached Bell Bug can be struck with a weapon or grappled itself. To remove an attached Bell Bug through grappling, the opponent must achieve a pin against the Bell Bug.
Glide (Ex): For every 5' forward it moves the Bell Bug loses 5' in height while flying. It cannot gain altitude with flight and must launch itself from high points.
Combat: Bell bugs tend to glide down onto opponents and Attach, doing their best to crawl away if removed.

minor arakune update
fluff wise, are his bugs supposed to have any abilities?
Milo v3
2011-10-05, 02:35 AM
Arakune looks good so far.
And as for the bugs, they are immune to sethir which is a toxic poison so I guess immunity to poison. Also they live in a group of books which are inside Arakune, I don't know what mechanical effect that could have though.
Milo v3
2011-10-05, 05:08 PM
I don't know about them having any special attacks or powers.
Arakune has been updated. How many Hit Dice do you want the bugs to be?
Milo v3
2011-10-09, 03:39 AM
Looks great, like the insanity. For the bugs, how many will he summon?
still trying to figure that out, is the gas what lets him summon the bugs or does the gas temporarily freeze them?
Milo v3
2011-10-09, 03:50 PM
If the gas your talking about is Sethir then yes it allows him to summon the bugs. I think.
what HD should we make the bugs? 1 HD is useless, but usually they only stick around for 1 hit in the game.
Milo v3
2011-10-15, 01:16 AM
Maybe five-seven HD. At the levels players will be battling Arakune I think it would be fair to say they would die in one hit. Or we could make them 3 HD.

Hey, if you have time, it'd be super-handy if you were to make me a guath (MM1) swarm by Monday (if possible). CR anywhere between 13 and, say, 18, don't really mind. Maybe a swarm of super-teeny-baby beholders too.

Not yet, crunch on the eyeball is done, lemme finish the gauth and ill give it a guess
ok all teh crunchy bits are done i just need to figure out CR. I dont have anything to really compare these to though...
Serpentine
2011-11-15, 08:25 AM
Sorry 'bout my inbox.
I don't know about the eyeballs, but guaths are CR 6. I'm not sure how you went about making them, but the Mob mechanic for CR might be worth a look. It sets the CR of mobs of creatures under CR 7 as CR 8. With the retention of eye rays (which the mob template, strictly speaking, disallows), I'd probably add 1 or 2 to that. But I'm terrible at CRing.
Oh, and we didn't get up to it today, so we have another week to finish these off :smallsmile:
"What about giving them a smaller number of targeted rays, and resolve the rest as a large radius Reflex save? Success means only 1 of the random rays, failure means three.
EDIT:
Centered on the swarm of course."
Quoth from BG. Whaddya think?
Serpentine
2011-11-16, 08:24 AM
BG?
Maybe. I was vaguely considering something like the characters do however many saves each round, and if they fail they take a random ray.

I suggest a Crawling Head (Fiend folio) with the Multiheaded template (savage species). Because it is a head adding a same sized head will double its size allowing you to add more heads ignoring the table of max additional heads based on size because the heads you add will grant a higher max heads.

Anti-Magic Cannon: Once every 1d4 rounds as a Swift Action the Dire Beholder may open it's central eye unleashing a powerful Antimagic blast in a 225' Cone. Everything in this area is affected as if by a Mordenkainen's Disjunction spell.
Flight (Ex): A Beholders body is naturally buoyant granting it a permanent Feather Fall effect as per the spell of the same name with personal range.
Combat: Similar to regular Beholders but with a lot more ranged artillery.

"Abner...I have seen some damn fool things in my time...but I can't believe we signed on for this.."
This is pretty much exactly what it sounds like. A malicious lollipop animated in a manner similar to Golems. A lollipop the size of a T-Rex. Maybe bigger. A lollipop able to defy gravity by standing upwards on what would the stick you would hold it by, that can flip itself in mid air, crushing smaller man sized targets on the ground. A fairly rare creature as the methods known to make it are known only to a small guild of candy obsessed mages who aren't speaking.
Hammer (Ex): The Guardians Hammer attack threatens a critical on an 18-20 and does x3 damage.
Combat: Hammer till foes be squished. Their programming is not subtle.

"The sugar commands me to eat you..."
"Seriously? This is what Devils have come to these days?"
In their efforts to seduce the mortal races into pacts the Devil's have hit upon a new idea: Possessed candy. Instead of signing lengthy contracts in blood mortals are compelled to lick the possessed lollipop and take the power it offers in exchange for their soul. Unfortunately it hasn't gotten them many powerful souls. Mostly children and teenage girls with daddy issues. But you gotta give 'em credit for trying.
Eat Me (Su): Anyone seeing an unattended Lollipop must make a DC 20 Willpower Save or feel compelled to lick it. The Lollipop never shrinks, and all attempts to eat it are futile. Save DC is Charisma based.
Poison Soul (Su): When the victim licks the Lollipop they must make a DC 22 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma based) or have their alignment change one step closer to Lawful Evil. Once they become Lawful Evil they are a willing servant of the Baatezu.
Spellcasting: Lollipops may cast spells as a Beguiler whose Level is half their Hit Dice.
Immunities: Lollipops are immune to Fire, Poison, Petrification, Polymorph, sleep effects, Paralysis, death effects, stunning, critical hits, non lethal damage, and fatigue/exhaustion.
Combat: Lollipops don't fight, they let their victims do that (though they will cast spells to back them up).

"Now look Furry..."
"My name is Leticia, and we aren't Furries, our people are called Sesquipedaliens."
"Look i cant say them words so I say furry."
Why am I being arrested?"
"You ain't wearin' clothes! This is a respectable town. Why would you wear clothes if'n you wasn't lookin' ta lure our men?"
"Because I'm covered in fur and it's July you moron."
"Oh..."
"Also our species aren't compatible. Sesquipedaliens don't procreate, we subdivide like amoeba."
"But everyone says your..."
"How many of these 'everyone' people n this town would you trust to wash themselves properly, let alone have any knowledge of something outside this town?"
'Well...now that you put it that way prolly not many...wait did you just call us ignorant?"
"Most of you. You seem to be coming around though."
"Why thank you...HEY!"
Sesquipedaliens appear to be furry humanoid cat women. Rumors fly about their race. They have unusual lifestyles. They worship heathen Gawds. They're promiscuous and spread new ideas. Nothing could be further from the truth. They're fairly nice people, but their lack of clothing and asexual reproduction tend to single them out for trouble as other races have trouble understanding certain aspects of their race.
Wounding (Ex): A Sesquipedaliens Natural Weapons threaten a Critical on a natural roll of 18-10, and the opponent must make a DC 10 Fortitude Save or take an additional hit point of damage per round for 1d6 rounds (Save DC is Strength Based).
Rake (Ex): Attack and damage rolls same as Claws, ability is the same as the one listed in the MM.
Enchanting Personality (Sp): Sesquipedaliens may cast Charm Person and Hypnotism once per day as Spell-Like Abilities (Caster Level is equal to HD).
Fur(Ex): Sesquipedaliens take +1 point of damage per die from Fire, and -1 point of damage per die from Cold.
Skills: Sesquipedaliens get a +2 Racial Bonus on Bluff, Climb, Diplomacy, Hide, Listen, and Move Silently Checks.
Combat: Many Sesquipedaliens tend to specialize in learning to fight while charging or grappling to make use of their claw rakes.

Sounds fine.
edited in most of the rest.
you know this is gonna have a bit of an LA right?
I suggest a Crawling Head (Fiend folio) with the Multiheaded template (savage species). Because it is a head adding a same sized head will double its size allowing you to add more heads ignoring the table of max additional heads based on size because the heads you add will grant a higher max heads.
OK, so how messed up you want this head to be?

2011-12-07, 03:35 AM
OK, so how messed up you want this head to be?I think you mean heads.
Well the Crawling Head is normally CR 20 so any additional heads will make it epic. I think a 10 and 20 and 30 head version would be cool if you had the time. feel free to not just apply the template, go and give each head a specific power if you want. This is defiantly going to be an great elder evil (I never use that book when I am DMing :smallconfused: time for that to end :smallamused:).

Briareus is an 12 headed Crawling Head, rumored to be a section of a hecantocheires. Were it not for the vast treasure he guards no one would make the long lonely trek to the island it haunts only to end up as a new undead or being absorbed.
Cacophony (Su): When a Crawling Head attacks, and it has at least 10 heads stored in it's body, all creatures within 60' must make a DC xx Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma Based) each round, or Cower in Fear (the opponents get a Save each round). This is a Sonic, Mind-Affecting Effect,
Constrict (Ex): A Crawling Head does it's Tentacle damage with a successful Grapple Check.
Improved Grab (Ex): If the Crawling Head hits with it's Tentacle or Bite Attack it immediately gets a Grapple Check as a Free Action without Provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If it succeeds it may Constrict with the Tentacle or Swallow Whole with the Bite.
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): The Crawling Head may cast the following as Spell Like Abilities:
At will: Animate Dead, Control Undead, Death Knell, Inflict Serious Wounds, Fear, Gentle Repose, Shield, and Speak with Dead.
3/day: Create Undead, Creeping Doom, Create Greater Undead, Finger of Death, Hold Monster, and Wail of the Banshee.
1/day: Greater Dispel Magic
Caster Level is 36.
Vorpal Bite (Ex): The Crawling Heads Bite Attack has the Vorpal Weapon Quality (see DMG page 226).
Swallow Whole (Ex): If Briareus succeeds with a grapple check it may swallow its opponent. Once inside opponents take 2d8+8 points of crushing damage and 2d8+8 points of acid damage per round. A swallowed creature may cut its way out by doing 25 points of damage to Briareus' digestive tract (AC 22). Muscular action closes the whole immediately afterward so other opponents must cut their own way out. It's gullet may hold 1 Medium, 4 Small, or 16 Diminutive or Smaller opponents. In addition for each head stored in Briareus they take an additional 1d6 bite damage.
Multiple Heads (Ex): During your turn one of your extra heads can use one of your SLAs, as long as it doesn't demand physical actions besides speaking.
Absorb Head (Su): As a Free Action Briareus can swallow the Head of a Large or Smaller Creature it has slain with it's Vorpal Bite, and it is stored in his stomach the following round. He can store a number of heads equal to his Hit Dice, and has 1d4+10 at any given random time. Once per round asa Free Action it may absorb a head to do one of the following:
Cast a Spell-Like Ability as if it has been cast with the Quicken Spell-Like Ability Feat.
Heal itself as though it had cast a Harm spell upon itself.
Increase one Ability Score by +6 for 1 hour.
If the head has been present in Briareus' stomach for at least 1 year, it may absorb it to replace one of it's own head's severed by a successful Vorpal Attack.
True Seeing (Su): A Crawling Head permanently has the benefits of a True Seeing spell.
Water Vulnerability (Ex): Contact with water does 1d6 points of damage to a Crawling Head per round (total immersion does 10d6). An attack with water (such as a Create Water spell) counts as 1 round of exposure.
Skills: Briareus gets a +8 Racial Bonus on Climb Checks, and may always Take 10 on a Climb Check. He also gets a +22 Racial Bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot Checks.
Combat: Briareus will usually use it's SLA's to animate undead to test possible adversaries while watching from afar. If the opponents are judged weak the assault will begin immediately, otherwise it will try to pick PC's off one by one using a combo of magic and Swallow Whole.
thoughts so far on it Doc?
Dr.Orpheus
2011-12-30, 01:45 AM
Epic level characters will probably plow right through an AC of 23, and I think that the size would be larger because it has a each individual head is normally size huge. Other than that I see that it has the normal crawling head abilities which is cool, but I assume there will be more to come.
Is it gonna be fighting Epic Level PC's?? If s i might add the monster of legend template too
Dr.Orpheus
2011-12-30, 02:24 AM
That sounds like a good template and yes I have a mildly powergaming group that will be between level 19 and 23 when they fight it.
template isnt applicable cause its undead...
evolved undead template maybe?
Dr.Orpheus
2011-12-30, 03:45 AM
You could apply it multiple times if once is not enough and don't choose a spell-like that it already has of course it may be better to pick a spell then roll. Leave room for homebrew abilities too. I kind of had an idea to spend stored heads on a breath weapon with power based on the number of heads, but You probably have good ideas too.

You could create an "Undead of Legend" template, make it similar to but different from the Creature of Legend template. You are, after all, the homebrewer here. :smalltongue:
Now I want to imagine One of these.... up against an Epic templated hydra.
...Oooohhh.... Aaahhhh... AAAAHHH! Oh.... Eeemmmm.... Yeeee... Yow!

2011-12-31, 10:55 PM
You could just add more racial abilities instead of templates like swallow Whole with the severed heads inside the main heads doing bite attacks (I personally think the normal crawling should have this ability already). Another idea for the Absorb Head ability is after a severed head has spent a year in a Briareus the Briareus may remove it from one of its stomachs and use it to replace a head severed by a vorpal weapon its head will grow one size catigory per day until it becomes the same size as all of its other heads.
so whats the breath weapon idea you have?

The severed heads in one of the big heads if consumed will allow the large head they are inside of to breath negative energy 1d? damage per head expended.
How about a certain amount of damage with absorbing a head to give a boost? It can only hold so many heads, and if it fails to get new ones it effectively doesnt have the breath weapon.

Sure that works I guess. Also the max head storage would be multiplied by the number of main heads, so x12.

He's got more HD so he can store a lot more heads already. For the swallow whole idea: does he still get to absorb the head?

Sure the heads in its stomach will eat all of a swallowed creature except for its head providing another head.

Imagine a multiheaded beholder mage with the multivoice feat. And then imagine that the multivoice feat allowed 1 spell per head. That could get crazy, like 11 meteor swarms crazy.

Thinking Head defiantly the other abilities are nice but you ether get them automatically from the MHC template or they add to various skill checks, hp, initiative, and saves. As homebrewers we can increase these things just because and say its a racial bonus.
None of Briareus' SLA's require concentration tho i think. Unless i add some thinking head won't be too spectacular.
Dr.Orpheus
2012-01-14, 02:38 PM
Yes however the Briareus can have the original head cast a SLA, use Thinking Head to have a second head cast an SLA, and maybe a third head can if we add Multivoice the other 9 heads can all bite, breath weapon, or drink potions. We could even add Thinking Head multiple time so every head has the option to cast a SLA. The point is that it will be able to get all of its minions out with create undead in the first round and not bring them out gradually. Adding more spells would be nice though.
I added 7 levels of the evolved undead template. Hows the cr/AC look now?

It's Spiderman yo. Do I really need to write a bio ;)
Superhuman Strength (Ex): Spiderman is incredibly strong and effectively has both the Improved Unarmed Strike and Improved Grapple Feats. His unarmed Strikes do 2d10 plus Strength Modifier, and do lethal damage unless he pulls his punches deliberately. He automatically does his unarmed strike damage during Grapples as if he had the Constrict Ability.
Superhuman Endurance (Ex): Spiderman has a Natural AC Bonus equal to his Constitution Modifier, and heals hit points and temporary Ability damage at twice the natural rate. He takes half damage from falls at any height. He gains a +4 Resistance Bonus to Fortitude Saves with the exception of ethyl chloride which is a poison used to kill spiders.
Superhuman Reflexes (Ex): Spidermans natural reflexes and Spider Sense grant him several Bonus Feats listed above: Acrobatic Strike, Brachiation, Combat Acrobat, Cunning Evasion, Elusive Target, Improved Feint, Improved Trip, Melee Evasion, Mobility and Roofwalker.
Flurry (Ex): As a Full Attack Spiderman can flurry with his Slam attack doing 4 strikes at (highest BAB -2).
Webbing (Ex): Spiderman can use his web shooters for various purposes. He can use them to brachiate (as per the Feat) when there are tall buildings nearby (or other structures a webline can be attached to). He can also improvise small structures such as parachutes, dummies, clubs, gliders, trampolines, thick gloves, nets, bandages, slings, shields, plugs, patches, hammocks, or water tight bubbles for underwater breathing. Each webline is a Swift Action, making objects is a Swift Action if they are Tiny or smaller, a Standard Action for Small, or Full Round for Medium to Large. Weblines use 1 charge, while objects use 1 charge for Tiny or Smaller objects, 2 for Medium, of 4 for Large. By expending one charge he can attack an opponent and attempt to entangle them as a Standard Action. This attack has a maximum range of 120', and a Range Increment of 12'. Opponents can escape with a DC 29 Escape Artist Check or a DC 34 Strength Check. The webbing has 6 hp and Hardness 5 per 5' area. Spiderman can pile on in subsequent rounds increasing the Check DC's by +2 per round, the hit points by 6, and the Hardness by 1. Save DC is (10 plus 1/2 Hit Dice plus a +4 Racial Bonus for the Escape Artist DC and a +9 for the Strength Check). He can also web a 5' square as a Swift Action for 1 charge. Any opponent moving through has to make a DC 34 Strength Check to leave the square if they touch the webbing within 1 minute. The Save DC's of the webbing drop by -2 each hour as it disintegrates. It also loses 2 hp and 1 Hardness. By expending one charge as a Standard Action Spiderman can make a ranged Disarm attack by webbing a ranged weapon to his opponents hand making it unusable. Range is same for the more conventional webbing attack. Each shooter has 50 charges, and switching cartridges is a Move Action.
Gadgets: Spiderman has several gadgets on hs utility belt including extra web cartridges, a uv flashlight, and a camera. He also has his Spider Tracers, small radio transmitters he can tune into with his spider sense. So long as they are within 20 miles he knows their exact location, and smart opponents have been able to rig them to interfere with his spider sense.
Spider Climb (Ex): Spiderman permanently has the effects of a Spider Climb spell upon his person (except his Climb Speed is the one listed above). It requires a Strength Check to pull him from a wall if he does not willingly wish to let go. This ability only works though thin cloth, and he may use it on any portion of his body thereby 'holding' items without belts by simply attaching them to himself. He can maintain equilibrium on any surface in any position, even when hanging from ceilings.
Spider Sense (Ex): Spiderman has a sort of mild precognition. It manifests as Blindsight 60', and is detailed enough he can tell how many fingers someone in the room is holding up even while physically blind. It also gives him a Bonus equal to twice his Wisdom Modifier on his Armor Class, Reflex Saves, and Initiative Checks. He may also use it to tune into some radio frequencies and may be able to overhear conversations on them. He must make a DC 30 Fortitude Save in the event of a sudden dire threat (end of the world/universe type stuff) or be Stunned 1 round from the pain. This ability even functions when he is asleep, and he has no penalties to sense potential attackers when unconscious. He also knows when he is the subject of a Divination spell even if he has failed the Save against it since he knows he is being observed (though not necessarily by who). He gains a Bonus equal to his Wisdom Score on Spot Checks to see through Disguise attempts or to detect whether or not someone has a weapon hidden on their person. If he becomes Exhausted the Bonuses from this Ability are halved until he gains rest.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Identical to the Rogue ability listed on page 50 of the PHB.
Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Identical to the Rogue ability listed on page 50 of the PHB.
Evasion (Ex): Identical to the Rogue ability listed on page 50 of the PHB.
Improved Evasion (Ex): Identical to the Rogue ability listed on page 51 of the PHB.
Defensive Roll (Ex): Identical to the Rogue ability listed on page 51 of the PHB.
Slippery Mind (Ex): Identical to the Rogue ability listed on page 50 of the PHB.
Skills: Spiderman can always Take 10 on Balance, Climb, Escape Artist, Jump, and Tumble Checks. He takes no penalty on Balance, Jump or Tumble Checks due to speed, and does not become Flat-Footed while making a Balance Check. Spiderman's maximum Jump height is not limited by his Size Class. Spiderman gains a +60 Racial Bonus to all Jump Check's.
Combat: Spiderman prefers to bring opponents in alive so he prefers to use non-lethal damage in conjunction with his webs. He knows some minor martial arts but most of his fighting ability comes from his powers.
Feats not in PHB may be found here:
PHB II: Acrobatic Strike, Combat Acrobat, Cunning Evasion, Melee Evasion
Cityscape: Roofwalker
Complete Adventurer: Brachiation, Goad
Complete Warrior: Elusive Target, Fleet of Foot, Prone Attack

now for the 'what alignment is psidey argument'
Well, "Good", for sure. Whether he's Lawful, Neutral, or Chaotic, though... I can see lawful, because he insists on responsibility. I can see Chaotic, because he gets in trouble with the law; Often. But they balance out petty well, so I'd say he's Neutral Good.

Okay I can't find this anywhere, but can spidey actually run any faster than a normal human being?
Here is a section of the Spiderman Abilities and Equipment wikipedia page:
Spider-Man can leap several stories vertically or the width of a city street. While his running speed has never been definitely established, he can run at superhuman speed for short sprints and has been shown to be easily capable of overtaking fast-moving cars, but nearly always prefers using his weblines to travel

The Mentalist
2012-03-06, 09:36 PM
For the ease of use, I'd make the webbing unlimited or else we get distracted counting shots.
I have one question though? Is spidey really that badass? I mean holy crap. This guy would beat out several stattings of Superman I've seen. (and on that note I am inspired to start statting out Superheroes... MWAH HA HA!!!)
I may actually be erring on the side of caution. Peek at the link at teh top of the stat block
The Mentalist
2012-03-06, 09:56 PM
Maybe it's just odd seeing it all in numbers like that and it's you're design so do what you will but I've always imagined the comics world as an E6 with exceptions sort of thing. Spidey may be 12 HD with a 30ish dex and strength.
The big nerd out point of contention I have with it is are you really meaning to tell me that Spidey climbs walls at 3x the normal movement speed? He climbs walls faster than Deities and Demigods (woefully understatted) gods move...
(The other possibility as to why this seems huge is my experience with Marvel RPG)
He's able to run and keep pace with a car according to the list of his abilities. The slowest car speed land move was 185. I cut that down for climbing. He can lift/press 10 tons i think, I actually did the math to figure out what his exact Str score was. His reflexes and agility are supposed to be 15 times human normal. He really is that powerful.

He takes no Jump penalties to speed so he can do them standing. He'll only need the speed bonus if he's actually moving.
I'm open to thoughts on how many charges he should have I can't find a definitive answer

I'd personally say go the way of modern canon (films and more recent comics) and give him infinite web, if only to prevent book keeping on it. Make it degrade in a few hours though so we don't have dangling trails of web through Tippyverse New York.
(For people who read more mainstream comics, that is how his web works these days yes?)
Another option (older one) is to give him a pair of items (something like wand gauntlets) that give him 50 charges each of web and can be reloaded as a move equivalent action.
If I recall correctly those are the two ways his webbing have been dealt with throughout the series.

In the comics he only has Organic Web (Aka infinite charges) in The Other series, then he went back to the cartriges (Aka finite charges) after Brand New Day. So he is currently using cartriges.

Flurry should really be Flurry of Blows: As monk but only applies to unarmed attacks.
Spider Sense doesn't really match his abilities. He loses his spider sense when Fatigued. It shouldn't work when he's asleep either. "Spider-Man can choose to ignore his spider-sense, and distraction or fatigue can force unawareness." He should have a circumstance bonus to AC, Reflex saves and Initiative checks and a competence bonus to his Wisdom score on Spot checks. Also, is his ability to overhear communications via radio should note how much of a chance of success he has with this (or change the wording to note it works all the time).

If Spiderman becomes Fatigued, the bonuses from this ability are halved until he gains rest. This ability does not function when he is Exhausted. However, this ability works even when Spiderman is asleep or stunned.

Spider man does actually lose his spider sense when fatigued because he is less focused.
As for sleeping, read this quote from the Spidey Sense section of the Spiderman powers and abilities wikipedia page.
His spider-sense is sufficiently well-linked to his reflexes, even before "The Other" storyline, that a threat can trigger them even when Spider-Man is asleep or stunned

Bhu, Spiderman is still short one regular feat. You also forgot to add his bonus feats from Superhuman Strength (Improved Unarmed Strike and Improved Grapple) in his list of feats. . I think you really need to revise the feat list. what books are these bonus feats from? I don't even know what they do!
Feats: Combat Expertise, Combat Reflexes, Dodge, Exhausting Defense, Fleet of Foot, Goad, Improved Disarm, Lightning Reflexes, Prone Attack, Run
He still needs his Human bonus feat.
Bonus Feats from Superhuman Strength: Improved Unarmed Strike and Improved Grapple
Bonus Feats from Superhuman Reflexes: Acrobatic Strike, Brachiation, Combat Acrobat, Cunning Evasion, Elusive Target, Improved Feint, Improved Trip, Melee Evasion, Mobility and Roofwalker. That is more than "several" bonus feats if you ask me.
And you should add Superhuman Reflexes to Special Qualities (which should be in alphabetical order).

You would need a Dire Mosquito, the animal has to be within 1 size category of the base creature (So you're either already fine and don't need it) or your DM is very permissive.
On the other hand, doing 10d6 sneak attack with a mosquito sting would be EPIC! (I now must make races that transform into normal sized insects.)

If his race is diminutive, he can still become a fine mosquito. Possibly a templated small or tiny race could do it.

The Mosquito is an ever present hazard in the local marsh. One in particular seems bloody well invulnerable, always returning after being swatted. It appears to be a dark red mosquito with no other unusual features. Some people think he is the result of a divine curse upon the area.
Proboscis (Ex): If the Mosquito succeeds with an Opposed Move Silently vs Listen Check it may stab it's victim with it's proboscis. Not only is the victim considered Flat-Footed, they do not know the proboscis attack has happened. Once it is successful it maintains the proboscis as it is now attached to the victim. It must make an opposed Hide vs Spot CHeck each round it wishes to remain attached.
Disease (Ex): Any opponent the Mosquito successfully hits with it's Proboscis Attack must make an appropriate Fortitude Save or contract one of the following diseases: Encephalitis, West Nile, Malaria, Dengue Fever, Yellow Fever, or Rift Valley Fever.
Blood Drain (Ex): If the Mosquito can maintain it's Proboscis Attack for 4 rounds it's opponent takes 1 point of temporary Strength damage.
Improved Scent (Ex): Similar to the normal Scent Ability, but you can detect blood at a range of up to 1 mile.
Immunities (Ex): Mosquitoes are immune to non magical diseases.
Early Warning System (Ex): The Mosquito gets a Bonus to it's Initiative rolls, Reflex Saves, and AC equal to it's Wisdom Modifier.
Stubbornness (Ex): If destroyed the Mosquito reappears 2d4 days later. To rid the world of it would require divine intervention such as a Miracle or Wish spell.
Combat: The Mosquito doesn't fight so much as steal blood and flee.

Ya I guess they are about the same size, but mosquitoes are thinner although that is not a very big difference.

Factal Beholders are horrifying mutations from the Far Realms. How they have entered into their present insubstantial state, and what they desire is unknown. Beholder scholars believe they are the result of their species attempt to communicate with a being in the Far Realms that was lost. They do not communicate in any way since coming back, and many species normally considered enemies have allied to do something about them.
Eye Rays (Su): Each of a Fractal Beholders 10 eye rays resembles a spell cast by a 12th Level Caster. They have a range of 150', and require a DC 18 Saving Throw if they successfully hit (Save DC is Charisma Based). They may affect corporeal and incorporeal targets.
Eye 1: This is the central eye. Instead of a ray the Fractal Beholder may use it to cast Effulgent Epuration 5/day.
Eye 2: This is the top eye. Instead of a ray it may cast Sphere of Ultimate Destruction every 1d4+1 rounds.
Eye 3: Target is affected as if an Otiluke's Telekinetic Sphere Spell were cast on him.
Eye 4: Target must make a Fortitude Save or be affected as if a Avasculate Spell were cast on him.
Eye 5: Target is affected as if a Ruby Ray of Reversal Spell were cast on him.
Eye 6: Target must make a Reflex Save or be affected as if a Otiluke's Freezing Sphere Spell were cast on him.
Eye 7: Target must make a Fortitude Save or be affected as if a Orb of Electricity Spell were cast on him.
Eye 8: Target must make a Fortitude Save or be affected as if a Orb of Fire Spell were cast on him.
Eye 9: Target must make a Fortitude Save or be affected as if a Orb of Force Spell were cast on him.
Eye 10: Target must make a Fortitude Save or be affected as if a Orb of Sound Spell were cast on him.
All-Around Vision (Ex): The Beholders eyes give it a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks, and they cannot be flanked.
Immunities: Fractal Beholders are immune to critical hits, petrification, polymorph, poison, paralysis, sleep effects, fatigue/exhaustion, stunning, and nonlethal damage. It must still make a Save against any effect that would cause it to split to see if that occurs.
Flight (Ex): A Beholders body is naturally buoyant granting it a permanent Feather Fall effect as per the spell of the same name with personal range.
Splitting (Su): When a Fractal Beholder fails a Saving throw against any Spell or similar effect that would cause it's death, petrification, polymorph, or similar status that would immediately remove it from the fight it splits into two Fractal Beholders, each with half of the hit points of the original. One of the two suffers the effects of the failed Save while the other does not. Fractal Beholders with less than 10 hit points lose this ability and cannot be divided further.
Combat: Fractal Beholders prefer to unload with the artillery from a distance. Particularly if their opponents are mages or other casters due to their splitting abilities.

Beholder Pirates are odd mutations, descendants of outcasts from the Beholder Kingdoms that have taken to robbery to survive. Born blind in their Antimagic central eye, and with a withered extra eyestalk to which a prosthesis is usually attached, they do not have some of the raw power their other cousins do. Most have been reduced to raiding passers by in lonely areas to eke out an existence while avoiding the gaze of their more numerous cousins.
Eye Rays (Su): Each of a Beholder Pirates 10 eye rays resembles a spell cast by a 13th Level caster with a range of 150' and a Save DC of 16 (Save DC is Charisma based). Most are ranged touch attacks with the following effects:
Eye 1: Beckon Person (see Tome of Magic)
Eye 2: Power Word Fatigue (see Races of the Dragon)
Eye 3: Curse of Impending Blades (see Miniatures Handbook)
Eye 4: Pain (see Complete Arcane, Fortitude partial)
Eye 5: Rapture of the Deep (see Stormwrack, Will negates)
Eye 6: Phantasmal Killer (Wills Save, PHB)
Eye 7: Telekinesis (Will Save, PHB)
Eye 8: Disintegrate (Fortitude partial, PHB)
Eye 9: Flesh to Salt (see Sandstorm, Fortitude partial)
Eye 10: Greater Harm (see Heroes of Horror, Will Save for half)
Pirate: If an opponent is denied his Dexterity Bonus to AC or is Flat-footed, the Beholder Pirates Eye Rays increases their Save DC by +2, and it's physical attacks do +1d6 damage (this second part is identical to the Sneak Attack ability on page 50 of the PHB).
All-Around Vision (Ex): The Beholders eyes give it a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks, and they cannot be flanked.
Flight (Ex): A Beholders body is naturally buoyant granting it a permanent Feather Fall effect as per the spell of the same name with personal range.
Combat: Pirate Beholders blast away from ambush, hiding and sniping away till their rays work before moving in for the kill.

The Ouroboros, as it is called, is one of the most rare and unusual sights upon the Material Plane. There have only been two sightings in history, during each of which this beast had slaughtered thousands.
It appears as a colossal serpent with glistening metallic green flesh. It is believed amongst the learned arcanists that the Ouroboros have some connection to essence as they are eternally linked to the soul of a single mortal.
How is unknown except by two mortals. This bond is formed because of a shattering of a beings soul into tiny shards. This disconnection to the other souls causes the shard to try to regain connection, through violet means and the death of its "host". Why the other shards do not gain this same power is not well understood, and powerful, perhaps even divine, magic is assumed responsible.
Soul Bite (Su): The bite of an Ouroboros does 2d6 Charisma Drain.
Aberrant Power (Sp): The Ouroboros may use the following spells as Spell-Like Abilities:
3/day: Aura of Terror, Mass Inflict Moderate Wounds, Spiritwall
1/Day: Greater Consumptive Field, Mass Inflict Critical Wounds, Retributive Enervation
Ghost Touch (Ex): The Ouroboros can affect Incorporeal beings as though they were solid.
Immunities (Ex): Ouroboros are immune to death effects, energy drain and other negative energy effects, effects that trap the soul (Binding, Magic Jar, Trap the Soul, etc), poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, ability damage or drain, non lethal damage, fatigue and exhaustion effects, and may not be Raised or Resurrected.
Soul Vision (Su): The Ourorboros permanently has the benefits of a Death Watch spell on it's person. It may sense Living beings or incorporeal Undead with an Intelligence Score, and they gain no benefit from Concealment. It automatically knows the mortal it is bound too if it sees him/her.
Combat: Ouroboros are beasts in mindset and as such don't use tactics. They destroy without thought, seeking their target.
Though they will stop this rampage if their goal is realized, and they slay the mortal they are bound to.

Little is known about the Wombat of Doom beyond it's clumsiness, voracious appetite, and legendary cudliness. Many an opponent has fallen against the Wombat by failing to grasp just exactly how dangerous it truly was. It is necessary to drive him away however as he can devastate croplands if left alone. He doesn't mean harm, but his apparent indestructability rivals that of the Tarrasque (well almost). Some part of it is that opponents staring into his huge blank eyes just can't bring themselves to really hurt him.
Tunnel Fighting (Ex): The Wombat's penalties for fighting in restricted spaces (see Underdark page 112) are lowered by an additional -2.
Trample (Ex): DC 54 Reflex Save, Save DC is Str based.
Squish (Ex): The Wombat of Doom is notoriously fumbly. Anytime an opponent requires it to make a Reflex Save it falls over. If the opponent is within melee the Wombat falls on him. If he is at range everything on adjacent squares to 1 side of the Wombat (roll 1d6, even it falls left, odd it falls right). Victims the Wombat falls on take 10d6+30 damage.
Armored Butt (Ex): Wombats have thick smooth hide on their behinds to prevent predators from pulling them from burrows. The Wombat of Doom's DR increases to 30/Epic against attacks from the rear.
Speed Burst (Ex): If scared, or it wishes to leave, once per hour the Wombat may move up to ten times it's base Land Speed for 1 full round as long as it takes the Run action.
Deceptively Cute (Ex): The Wombat is unusually dumb and cuddly looking. If he fails an Intimidate Check against an opponent that opponent gains a -2 Penalty to AC until he takes damage from an attack the Wombat makes.
Combat: The Wombat isn't a predator and doesn't much initiate Combat unless scared or surprised. He is notoriously stubborn though and will not give up a good food patch once he has found it.

"O Oysters, come and walk with us!"
The Walrus is an enigmatic figure, with an apparent penchant for devouring the innocent and gullible. He has appeared virtually incapable of telling the truth and many believe he may be a serial killer. And by many we mostly mean oysters. He has a fondness for them.
Goo Goo G'joob (Su): Once every 1d4 rounds the Walrus may speak gibberish as a Standard Action. All Opponents within 30' must make a DC 19 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma based) or be Confused for 1d6 rounds as per the spell. This is a Sonic Mind-Affecting effect.
Come and walk with us (Su): The Walrus may cast the following as Supernatural Abilities 3/day: Advice (see Oriental Adventures), Enthrall, Mass Charm Monster .
I am the Walrus (Su): Knowledge checks made against you (unless it happens to be Knowledge: The Walrus) automatically fail to provide any useful information. Bardic Knowledge type checks are now at -8. People just seem to invent total gibberish about you.
Veteran (Ex): Years of experience mean the Walrus no longer takes the usual penalties to attack and damage rolls underwater.
Combat: The Walrus usually attempts to lure victims into terrain inhospitable to them, or somehow get them at some form of disadvantage.

Looking great! Armored butt looks interesting. An interesting note is wombats poop cubes. That's right folks, they're rubix poopers. I don't know how that would fit in, but its a random dish of information for your nonsense olfactories. I'm excited to see more. Note: I now have a picture of one in my avatar, but doom wombats actually did exist in prehistoric times. They are about the size you set them at i think too.
Maybe you could have the walrus be good at hiding or changing form, since there were a TON of theories on what the walrus was, some even thinking paul died. "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together."
Perhaps he could also be able to charm with his bardic powers.

Yes, maybe some sort of power like OMG Bigfoot is an Alien! (Cryptid PrC), excepts if you make a knowledge anything but (local?) you get information about it that is completely wrong and makes it harder to fight, though that would require giving it some sort of immunity or something. Nice idea TheWombatOfDoom. Maybe Modify Memory as a SLA to keep itself shrouded in mystery.

I think the Walrus should for one thing, should try to fight in the water. The rules for underwater combat (http://www.d20srd.org/srd/wilderness.htm) make it a real pain for people without freedom of movement. I think giving the Walrus freedom of movement would make him rather formidable in the water. Maybe his powers should be able to effect people on land from the water. Possibly regeneration/attacks enhanced by bardic music (It isn't just the bonus to damage applied by bardic music, EX: Killy McFighter hits the walrus with his longsword for 1d8+6 damage, though there is no bardic music doing extra damage, so the attack is non-lethal, but if the attack is enhanced by Mr. 1st lvl bard's Inspire Courage, it does 1d8+7 damage, and all that damage is lethal because the attack had a bonus from bardic music, The bonus can be to hit and/or to damage to overcome regeneration, the regeneration is also overcome by spells cast from bardic casting).
The Walrus having a swim speed negates all but one of those penalties (and in Alice he's only depicted in a desert).
I can work in bard stuff somehow
rweird
2012-07-26, 09:32 PM
No it doesn't, under has a swim speed, it says for attack/damage -2/half. Didn't wizards of the coast do a great job with underwater combat. You can find the table about halfway down with my link (see previous post).

I looked at the ouroboros and realized the SLAs don't have a CL. Also, are you sure that you don't want the bite to do any normal damage, as is the ouroboros can't hurt undead, meaning that it being able to detect incorporeal ones has pretty much no point.

For SLA's if no CL is mentioned caster level is by default equal to Hit Dice. I'll have to ask Milo about the bite the Ouroboros is his request.

So CL 40, that is pretty high. Still, he is CR 20 so it shouldn't be much of a problem.

It might be good to give a physical damage for the Ouroboros, in case one of the players is undead.

The Golem of Prague is a large roughly hewn statue whose artistic style is somewhat alien. Inscribed upon it is "Judah Loew, Prague, 15xx" with the last two digits un-readable. On it's robe in Hebrew is the following:
"Power bringeth destruction; beware, lest it be unleashed."
"He who will find the secret of my life at his feet, him will I serve until beyond time.
"He who shall evoke me in the 17th century, beware, for I cannot by fire be destroyed.
"He who shall evoke me in the 18th century, beware, for I cannot by fire or by water be destroyed.
"He who evokes me in the 19th century, beware, for I cannot by fire or by water or by force be destroyed.
"He who in the 20th century shall dare evoke me, beware, for neither by fire, nor water, nor force, nor anything by man created can I be destroyed.
"He who in the 21st century evokes me must be of God's hand himself because on this earth the person of man existeth no more."
Hidden in a small compartment at the Golem's right foot is a scroll with the word 'emet' (truth) written on it. Placing it in the Golem's mouth brings it to life as your servitor, and it will serve until your death at which point it wonders the world aimlessly, or goes back into hiding as a statue awaiting a new century, and greater invulnerability. The Golem truly wants to be awoken in the 21st century when it will be virtually impossible to destroy. Nor does it seem entirely bound to be inanimate as it murders several people, but only when no one is looking. It wants to be thought of as a statue until it is only vulnerable to divine intervention. It always returns to it's pedestal after being ordered on a mission to avoid suspicion. The Golem appears to understand most languages but is incapable of speaking.
Improved Grab (Ex): The Golem may make a Grapple Check against a being of any Size Class without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.
Constrict (Ex): The Golem does 6d6+30 damage with a successful Grapple Check.
Unstoppable (Ex): The Golems attacks are considered Adamantine for purposes of ignoring Damage Reduction, and they ignore Hardness.
Invulnerability (Ex): As the spell to awaken the Golem is cast it becomes increasingly harder to destroy. If awakened in the 17th century it is immune to Fire damage unless it comes from a divine source (i.e. anyone with a Divine Rank or a Major Artifact created by one).
If awakened in the 18th century it similarly becomes immune to Acid and Cold damage.
If awakened in the 19th century it similarly becomes immune to physical and Force damage.
If awakened in the 20th century it similarly becomes immune to any weapon or item created by mortals (in other words magic items or even nuclear weapons).
If awakened in the 21st century the Golem is immune to all damage that does not have a divine origin. An artifact or Divine rank is required to harm it.
Statue (Ex): The Golem can remain perfectly still for as long as it wants. Unless someone knows what it is they are incapable of telling it from the average statue.
Obeyance: Whoever finds the scroll hidden in the Golems foot and places it in it's mouth becomes it's Master. The Golem must obey his orders, though it usually finds a way to twist those orders to bring it's master misfortune (and it will not obey orders to leave). The Golem will serve until his death before going on a rampage temporarily and then fleeing to await being found again in a later age so it can gain ever more power.
Combat: The Golem kills in secret. Anyone alone in a room with it is at risk, as it may murder you if it senses you are a problem for it's master or a threat to it. Preferably it will be done in a way that doesn't imply the statue did it, such as strangulation or the use of an improvised weapon so as to avoid blood getting on the statue. Once revealed the Golem simply becomes a slowly walking engine of destruction, quietly beating to death anything in it's path.

If it only has one slam attack as a full attack, its damage should be 1.5 times its Str modifier. It either would have two slams doing +15 damage or 1 slam doing +22 damage,.
You gave it Toughness X7, which would give it a bonus of 21 hit points in addition to the 30 bonus hit points for being a Large Construct but they aren't showing up on the HD line.
Hit Dice: 42d10+51 (282 hp) Note: you need a special ability to explain why it has maximum hit points per hit die. 42d10+51 (471 hp). If it only has a CR 18 it doesn't need maximum hit points (more on this below).
If you are going to use non-core feats, please cite to the books. It makes looking at this a lot tougher. I think it is missing a feat.
CR on this is pretty high BUT wish could remove the invulnerability and other spells can prevent it from taking action. It's hard to judge. I'd say no higher than 18 even with all the abilities.

"Pelor's Beard, what is that smell?"
"It's my natural musk. Of course you don't like it being all gay elf Paladin."
"How many times must I tell your kind I'm not gay, I just have common sense?"
The dryads of Durian fruit trees are buxom (chubby), greenish, and kind of spiny. They make up for the stank by being more licentious and unreasonable than their more conventional sisters. Despite their smell, many people are said to find their company addictive.
Spell-Like Abilities (Sp): At will: Mage Burr (Complete Scoundrel), Speak with Plants, Tree Shape
3/day: Charm Person, Stinking Cloud, Tree Stride
1/day: Spike Growth
Stank (Ex): Living creatures within 10 feet must succeed on a DC 18 Fortitude save or be sickened for 1d6+4 minutes. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same Dryad's stench for 24 hours. A delay poison or neutralize poison spell removes the effect from a sickened creature. Creatures with immunity to poison are unaffected, and creatures resistant to poison receive their normal bonus on their saving throws. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Tree Dependent (Su): This works exactly like the Dryad ability on page 90 of the MM.
Wild Empathy (Ex): This works like the Druid's Class Ability of the same name except the Dryad has a +6 Racial Bonus on the Check.
Spiny (Ex): Opponents who hit the Dryad with an Unarmed Strike, Natural Weapon, or a Grapple take 1d4 plus their own Str Modifier in piercing damage.
Combat: Durian Dryads tend to be defensive fighters. This does not mean they will not harm you. As a matter of fact once their smell has you on the ground horking your guts up they tend to kick the living crap out of you.

BEAVER CHARACTERS
If you want to play a small, hardy semi aquatic race the Beaver is a go. The extra Con makes them decent tanks even if they will need some help with their Will Saves. Plus you're a Beaver. If you can't play up that comic angle you're in trouble.
Adventuring Race: Usually you only adventure to right some perceived wrong against you or your loved ones, or because you reeeeally need money. You don't like leaving the community unless need or danger makes it necessary.
Character Development: You're a common, hard working redneck (the good kind). You keep your nose out of other peoples business, and they do the same for you. Or they get whooped. You may not much care for outsiders or people different from yourself, but you believe in hospitality and are willing to accept anyone who doesn't cause trouble.

ROLEPLAYING A BEAVER
There are a fair amount of misconceptions about your race and it's culture, and it can be tedious to deal with them. Then there are the *******s who make fun of your teeth or your tail. The teeth won't be so damn funny when you're using them to gnaw off their left buttcheek.
Personality: Beavers are fairly laid back and patient. It takes a bit to tick them off usually, other than violating their privacy. Beavers are a very private folk and don't tolerate invasions of such well. Even then they prefer a good old fashioned fistfight to actual lethal combat.
Behaviors: Your fairly calm for the most part unless someone butts in on your business. Then you politely tell them to sod off or fight. Other than that you enjoy the simple pleasures of life such as food and drink. Fishing is also quite the common past time as are building competitions.
Language: Beavers speak their own dialect of Furry, much like the other Furry races.
BEAVER SOCIETY
Beavers are well known for their native cuisine, music, and religious beliefs. Since their tightly knit communities don't interact much with others beyond holidays and trade, many nearby cultures find them fascinating.
Alignment : Beavers are generally Neutral with the more fun loving sort drifting towards Chaotic or Good tendencies.
Lands : Beavers live near lakes and rivers, usually in cold or temperate areas.
Settlements : Beavers rarely settle, and usually only in places with access to water.
Beliefs : Beavers usually worship the Furry Pantheon or the Nature Pantheon, and are fairly devout.
Relations: Given their reputation as fun loving craftsmen, the Beavers get along well with others. And if they don't they dam up the river and dry up their water supply! But seriously as long as you aren't foolish they're kinda hard to offend in the long term.
BEAVER ADVENTURES
· A passing Balor called your mama 'fugly' and that just ain't right. Time to form a lynch mob and hang him! Or...y'know...whatever it is you do to Balors...
· Local humanoids are damming the river upstream. That's your job. Time they were reminded of that.
· Your uncle Louie's moonshine could put down a Frost Giant. But it's all gone missing. Time to find out how before Louie has a stroke, cause he ain't passed on the recipe!

VAMPYRES
http://Picture URL if you have one
"Do I feel dead to you?"
Vampyres are an ancient race who began specifically preying on humans and the occasional elf. They stand under 6' tall and are usually exceptionally beautiful (though some are spectacularly hideous due to inbreeding). They are slender with very pale skin and dark eyes. They have retractable claws that look like sharp nails, and fanged incisors. Their facial features are exotic and some say they have a slight feline cast. They prefer dark, somber clothing (though attractive members often dress like streetwalkers to attract prey).
VAMPYRE RACIAL TRAITS
· +2 Str, +2 Dex, +4 Int, +2 Cha
· Size Class: Medium
· Type: Monstrous Humanoid, giving them 60 ft. Darkvision
· Base land speed 30 ft.
· +5 Natural Armor Bonus
· Blood Drain (Ex): A Vampyre can suck blood from a living victim with its fangs by making a successful grapple check. If it pins the foe, it drains blood, dealing 1d4 points of Constitution drain each round the pin is maintained. On each such successful attack, the Vampyre gains 5 temporary hit points. Vampyres feed in this manner and do not require food or water. They must drain at least 1 point of Constitution per day or begin suffering the effects of Starvation (see DMG).
· Charm Toxin (Ex): Vampyre saliva is particularly toxic and victims who are bitten must make a Willpower Save (DC is 10 plus half Hit Dice plus Constitution Modifier plus 1/2 the damage done by the Bite attack). If he fails he is affected as if by a Charm Person spell. Unlike normal the Charmed victim will not resist the bite of the Vampyre who bit him (however he will still fight other Vampyres), and the duration is 24 hours.
· Vampyres have a Primary Claw attack doing 1d4 plus Strength Bonus, and a Secondary Bite attack doing 1d6 plus half Strength Bonus plus Charm Toxin. They get 2 Claw attacks and 1 Bite attack with a Full Attack. They are proficient with all Simple Weapons.
· A Vampyre has 8 Racial Hit Dice, giving it the following: 8d8 Hit Points, +8 base Attack Bonus, +2 Fort Save, +6 Ref Save, +6 Will Save, and (2 + Int modifier) skill points per level (with times 4 skill points for the first level). Class skills are Bluff, Diplomacy, Hide, Listen, Move Silently, and Spot. They also get 3 Feats.
· Automatic and Bonus Languages: Vampyres automatically speak Common. Bonus languages: Any Humanoid or Monstrous Humanoid language or Giant.
· Level Adjustment : +2
· Favored Class: Rogue
STARTING AGE
Adulthood: 10
Barbarian, Rogue, Sorcerer: +1d4
Bard, Fighter, Paladin, Ranger: +1d6
Cleric, Druid, Monk, Wizard: +2d6
AGING EFFECTS
Middle Age: 50 years
Old: 75 years
Venerable: 100 years
Maximum Age: +5d20 years
HEIGHT AND WEIGHT
Base Height: Male: 4'11" Female: 4'8"
Height Modifier: +2d10
Base Weight: Male: 125 lbs. Female: 85 lbs.
Weight Modifier: x (2d4) lbs.
VAMPYRE CHARACTERS
Given their stats, Vampyres make decent Cha based gishes or melee fighters. Since they have no penalty stats they can really try just about anything, they;re just obviously better at some than others.
Adventuring Race: Vampyres go adventuring because they've been found out and need to flee the area, or because they're pack was wiped out and they need an excuse to disappear. Many sign as traveling mercenaries as cover. It works well since they can travel by day and don't appear as Undead.
Character Development: You need blood to live, so do everything you can to build up Grappling if you intend to take it by force. If you just intend to buy small animals like chickens and drain them (an option you find appalling for more reasons than the taste) you can concentrate elsewhere. If you aren't physically tough you may want to pick up a few Levels of Beguiler or another class that lets you enchant people from a distance.
Character Names: Vampyres use the naming conventions of their prey as they need to fit in locally to avoid detection.
ROLEPLAYING A VAMPYRE
Vampyres are sociopaths almost without exception. They have some vague sense of kinship with one another due to their reliance on each other to obtain food, but all other races are either food or competition. It would be a very special Vampyre indeed who could learn to put this insularity behind them long enough to accept another species as a companion, and if they were starving they'd still consider eating him. Unlike undead their need for blood isn't a compulsion, it's food. For them to eat a living being must die or be made ill. They can't afford sympathy or mercy.
Personality: Vampyres have trust issues. Xenophobic as a whole they rarely even meet their own kind beyond their immediate family except for special occasions. They have to show restraint lest they indulge incestually, so when two or more packs meet the party is fairly massive (assuming one pack moves on and doesn't settle down as competition). They're too paranoid (and repulsed) to indulge in interspecies romances. They aren't renowned for willpower and are afraid they will reveal themselves interacting with other races if they lose control when they get hungry.
Behaviors: Vampyres spend most of their time practicing seduction and stalking in order to perfect their hunting techniques. They're also taught healing, torture, and humanoid anatomy in order to preserve victims and keep them alive longer in order to provide more blood. Being pack predators they often practice psychological warfare and intimidation on one another not only to maintain/improve their position in the pack hierarchy but to hone their skills for emergencies (such as when they get caught).
Language: Vampyres have no native language (at least none they remember), but instead learn the languages spoken by the humanoids around them.
VAMPYRE SOCIETY
Vampyres are ambush predators that travel in packs. They send the most attractive member to fetch a human and lure it back with promises of sex or reward before they all fall on the prey keeping it alive as long as possible. On the rare chance they meet their own kind there is usually a large murder spree as they take the rare chance to indulge in mating (not that they mind incest but they try to avoid it). Vampyres undergo a ritual at age 10 involving their solo killing prey. If they succeed they are considered adults. Rare is the small pack who will join a community as some sort of disguise. It's easier to lurk on the outskirts and take what they need.
Alignment : Vampyres are Evil almost without exception, and the vast majority are Chaotic as well. Some may be Neutral but none are Good or Lawful. Their food source precludes them being sympathetic or willing to obey others who aren't more powerful than them. They are amoral in every sense of the word.
Lands : Vampyres are generally urban predators, living anywhere humans or humanlike beings live. Some also live in the wilderness but theirs is a much harder life. They can feed on the blood of any being, but their Charm Toxin only works on Humanoids.
Settlements : As mentioned Vampyres follow their prey. Where humans go they follow.
Beliefs: Vampyres are somewhat narcissistic and callous, which doesn't lead them to worship deities other than those who are also fairly evil and don't make demands that interfere with the Vampyre lifestyle.
Relations: Other races are prey or rival predators without exception. Particularly open-minded Vampyres cast out from their pack may adopt other evil beings as their new pack, but the adopted family will need to be something he can't eat, and more powerful than him to prevent him from whittling them down.
VAMPYRE ADVENTURES
· The blood of your family is running very thin. You haven't seen other Vampyres in ages, and you need to find them quickly, or inbreeding will mean the end of your line. You have been sent to travel the world to find suitable mates and bring them back.
· The family has been caught red-handed and must leave town. Your job is to obfuscate pursuit by staying behind and killing from the shadows.
· A real Vampire has moved into your territory, and needs to be shown the door. He's already turned your cousin into a Spawn and you can't afford more.
