OEOHFPPE's are strange alien beings that have an affinity for music, and seem to be anthropophagus in regards to a race or purple skinned humanoids. Rarely seen they are described as having a growth on their head similar to a horn like instrument, large fangs and claws, and wings. They appear to understand and speak Common.

Bard Abilities: OEOHFPPE's may use Bardic Music as if they had levels in Bard equal to their Hit Dice. If they later take levels in Bard these stack with their Hit Dice for purposes of determining their abilities.

Combat: OEOHFPPE's tend to use their Bard abilities if they are strong enough. Otherwise they just fly in and use tooth and claw. They tend to be less spectacular tacticians and more crazed flailing types.

"So why is this thing called a Yak instead of a Bull?'

"Our language is different of course. Also, it vomits anytime it sees a Dragon."

"Ah'll keep that in mind..."

Yaks are one of the worlds largest bovines standing up to 7' tall, and weighing over 2200 lbs (though domesticated Yaks are much smaller).

Charge (Ex): If a Yak successfully damages an opponent with a Charge attack, it may immediately make a Trip Attack as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity (and if it fails the opponent does not get a Trip Attack of his own in response).

Combat: Yaks tend to charge people, knock them to the ground, and then repeatedly step on or gore them till they die.

"Bert...Bert...that cat just set the rose bushes on fire."

"Screw it, let's leave before we get the blame."


Firecat's are usually orange colored tabbies, but can be of any breed. Exactly how they learned to spit fire or gained intelligence is unknown, but Dragons are blamed in general. They speak and understand Draconic, Cat, and Common.

We'll charitably call this a Hairball problem (Su): Firecats may cast Lesser Orb of Fire at will as a Supernatural ability. They love spitting fireballs into flammable areas.

Skills: Firecats have a +4 Racial Bonus on Climb, Hide, and Move Silently Checks. They also have a +8 Racial Bonus on Balance and Jump Checks. They may use their Dex Bonus in place of their Str Bonus with Climb and Jump Checks. In areas of high grass or undergrowth the Hide Bonus increases to +8.

Combat: Firecats generally spit fire at people, and then run. If the opponent is still there they will continue to do hit and run attacks. They also have a knack for blasting whatever's flammable.

HOLY BHU!


Congrats on fifty pages of good work. I meant to comment that I really like the Elder Terror thingie but I got busy for a while. I'm still going through your first thread to find what I want to use there. You make it faster than I can read through it!

Environment: Any, prefers to live near cultures with tasteful music

Alignment: Always Chaotic (any)
Advancement: By HD up to 24, then by class (Bard)
Level Adjustment: Unsuitable as Cohort or Player

Abilities

Breath Weapon: A People Eater can channel its musical might through its trumpet-like horn, creating a 60ft. cone of sonic energy which deals 1d6 damage / HD (Will DC17 for half) to those within its area as it causes the brains of those hearing it to try to process music that should only work in four dimensions. Once it breathes, the People Eater must wait 1d6 (yes, d6) rounds before using it again. If it so wishes, the People Eater can make its breath attack less powerful, by fine-tuning the resonance to be slightly off, it can cause the breath weapon not to deal more damage than the target has Hit points, so as to subdue enemies (though the damage is still lethal for rules purposes).

The breath attack does not affect those who are deaf, or tone-deaf: their brains cannot process sound, so the scrambled music has no effect.

Charm Person: Once per round, the People Eater can sing as a standard action to mimic a Charm Person effect on a target. This behaves as the spell, cast by a sorcerer of the People Eater's HD.

Swallow Whole: They don't call it a people eater for nothing! The People Eater has the Snatch and Swallow feat, allowing it to swallow opponents of medium-size or smaller whole after grabbing them in its mouth. If it makes a check to successfully pin an opponent after snatching them in its mouth, they are swallowed and take 1d8 points of crushing damage and 1d6 points of acid damage a round from the stomach. A swallowed enemy can make a grapple check (DC 18) to escape into the mouth (where it takes bite damage next round) or use a small weapon to cut their way out. They must deal 20 points of damage to the AC16 stomach, which has DR 4. After they escape, muscular action closes the hole - each creature swallowed must cut their own hole. A creature killed in the stomach is digested entirely in 2d4 rounds, though the People Eater leaves enough traces a day later for a resurrection spell needing a body (just all split into little bits and suspended in purple slime). A People Eater has an unusually large stomach, which serves as most of the digestive system, and its respiratory system in all stored in the horn. As such, it can swallow 3 medium-size creatures, 6 small creatures or 12 tiny or smaller creatures at a time.

Weakness to Mind-Affecting Effects: The People Eater is easily charmed by music. Any sound-based mind-affecting effects are treated as being at +4 DC to the people eater.

Music Lover: The People Eater loves great music. A Distract action aided by a perform check gains half the amount by which a perform check (musical only) exceeds 20. A performance over 30 will calm the people eater into friendliness. The People Eater will disengage from combat if its acute magical hearing picks up a performance over 25 within 1 mile, though its hearing can only hear music this far away.

Mimic Voice: The People Eater can mimic any sound it has heard perfectly. This grants it a +8 circumstance bonus on perform (One Long Horn) checks, and allows it to make a performance of any instrument it has heard at +4.

Flyby Attack: The People Eater can make an attack at any point during a movement action in the air.

Snatch: The creature can choose to start a grapple when it hits with a claw or bite attack, as though it had the improved grab special attack. If the creature gets a hold on a creature three or more sizes smaller, it squeezes each round for automatic bite or claw damage. A snatched opponent held in the creature’s mouth is not allowed a Reflex save against the creature’s breath weapon, if it has one.

The creature can drop a creature it has snatched as a free action or use a standard action to fling it aside. A flung creature travels 1d6 × 10 feet, and takes 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet traveled. If the creature flings a snatched opponent while flying, the opponent takes this amount or falling damage, whichever is greater.

Improved Grapple: The People Eater does not provoke AoOs when starting a grapple

Snatch and Swallow: The People Eater can swallow those grappled in its mouth, as detailed above.

The Purple People Eater stands out in any crowd. For a start, it has one long, hollow, conical horn through which it sings and one big eye. Add on some wings, a lot of Purple, a penchant for eating people and singing opera, usually at the same time (at least it's not that certain boss from Conker's Bad Fur Day, which sang opera while doing something else entirely) and you have a unique monster.

The Purple People Eater (luckily, there only seems to be the one) tends to wander the lands, searching for the perfect song, slaking its hunger along the way on, rather surprisingly, people (though it has never found one, some claim it searches for a one-eyed, one horned purple person to eat).

In Combat, the People Eater opens by swooping in and trying to grab a single opponent without landing. If it succeeds, it flies off with them, waits until they are dead then returns to the fray while they are in its belly. After it returns, or if the opponent escapes, it unleashes its Breath attack with the hold-back frequency, eats anyone knocked out, and then flies off again. If angered, it will sing during combat, a rather uniquely terrifying experience, and when truly enraged it aims to slaughter its foes by not holding back its resonant breath.

Above all else, it seeks to perform great music. At any time, a bard can try to calm it with Bardic Music. If the People Eater hears a perform check over twice its HD, it is pleased and immediately ceases its attack, asking to be taught this amazing piece.

"Were goin' fishin' Abner!"
"Awright! It's about time Bert!"
"Here's your ring of water breathing."
"What the hell are these for?"
"We're goin' fishin' underwater."
"For what?"
"Shrimp..."

Giant Pistol Shrimp are truck sized crustaceans with an odd claw that allows them to shoot a sonic blast in t he form of a stream of bubbles. It is capable of killing small prey and stunning larger opponents. There are several kinds of Pistol Shrimp. Some live in large colonies, and some live in a symbiotic relationship in a burrow with Giant Goby fish.

Pistol Claw (Ex): When making a Full Attack the Pistol Shrimp can use it's special claw. When it snaps together it creates a bubble which momentarily reaches temperatures similar to the sun causing a shockwave. It makes a Ranged Touch Attack on any square within 60'. Anything within the square takes 3d6 Sonic damage and make a DC 17 Fortitude Save or be both Stunned and Deafened for 1d3 rounds.

Limb Regeneration (Ex): If a Pistol Shrimp loses a limb it regenerates within 1d4 weeks.

Skills: Giant Pistol Shrimp get a +8 Racial Bonus on Swim checks, and may always Take 10 on a Swim Check. They also have a +4 Racial Bonus on Hide and Spot Checks.

Combat: Giant Pistol Shrimp generally fire off their pistol attack to stun or kill prey before finishing it off with their claw.

can they swim or are they bottom walkers?

I think they're both, and if it's the one I'm thinking of, they can blast extremely hot air at faster than the speed of sound.

Wikipedia to the rescue (again) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alpheidae

It's not a stream of hot air, it's a stream of bubbles that can stun fish and break jars. Increase its size and you get a geyser of bubbles that can stun a person and possibly cause damage (probably be non-lethal damage). The force could move creatures back or even knock them down.

I've seen a previous version of this, didn't like it much though.

The snap can also produce sonoluminescence from the collapsing cavitation bubble. As it collapses, the cavitation bubble reaches temperatures of over 5,000 K (4,700 °C).[12] In comparison, the surface temperature of the sun is estimated to be around 5,800 K (5,500 °C).Ner :smalltongue:

Whilst I await Serp's input to finish the people eater, I think I need to do some spookity Halloween critters.


I believe I shall start with an Undead:

EPIC ZOMBIE

Epic Zombie is an Acquired Template that can be added to any living corporeal creature of at least 21 Hit Dice that has a skeletal system.

Size and Type: Size is unchanged, Type changes to Undead. Subtypes except Alignment or species (such as Goblinoid or Reptilian) are retained.

Hit Dice: All current and Future Hit Dice become d12's.

Speed: Unchanged.

Armor Class: The Epic Zombie gets a Natural Armor Bonus equal to it's Hit Dice, and a Profane Bonus to AC equal to half that mount.

Attacks: The Epic Zombies BAB is now equal to it's Hit Dice, if it wasn't already

Damage: Epic Zombies who have no Natural Attacks gain a Slam Attack whose damage depends on their size:

Fine: 1 pt.
Diminutive: 1d2
Tiny: 1d3
Small: 1d4
Medium: 1d6
Large: 1d8
Huge: 2d6
Gargantuan: 2d8
Colossal: 4d6

Special Attacks: The Epic Zombie keeps all Special Attack and Class Abilities except Spells and Spell-Like Abilities. Any Class Ability formerly based on Int or Charisma now gets a +4 Racial Modifier instead. For example if an ability had a Save DC of 10 + 1/2 HD + Cha Mod, it is now 10 + 1/2 HD +4. If the ability normally gets you a Bonus of some sort equal to your Int or Cha Mod you now have a +4. It also gains the following:

Terrifying Appearance (Su): Any living being within 60' of the Epic Zombie must make a Fortitude Save or take 1d4 points of Strength, Dexterity, and Constitution damage. If the save is made successfully, the opponent is immune to this particular Epic Zombies Terrifying Appearance for 24 hours.

Infectious Bite (Su): Any creature bitten by the Epic Zombie must make a Fortitude Save (DC is 10 plus 1/2 Hit Dice plus 4) or contract Mummy Rot. Unlike normal if the opponent dies it becomes a Zombie (or an Epic Zombie if it qualifies for this template).

To Me Mah Mindless Companions!(Ex): All Mindless Undead willingly defend the Epic Zombie if they are within 120', and will willingly sacrifice themselves to save it by interposing themselves between it and any enemies.

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Epic Zombie hits with it's Primary Natural Attack (usually it's Slam) it may immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.

Constrict (Ex): If the Epic Zombie has a Primary Natural Attack, it does double that damage (plus double it's Strength Modifier) with a successful Grapple Check. Otherwise it does double it's normal Slam damage.

Former Caster (Ex): If the Base Creature had the ability to cast spells, and lost it because of this Template, it gains a Deflection Bonus to Armor Class equal to half it's Hit Dice, and an Enhancement Bonus to all Attack and Damage rolls equal to half it's Hit Dice. It also increases it's Spell Resistance by +5.

Special Qualities: The Epic Zombie keeps all Special Attack and Class Abilities. Any Class Ability formerly based on Int or Charisma now gets a +4 Racial Modifier instead. It also gains the following:

Turn Immunity (Ex):You are Immune to Turn/Rebuke Undead attempts.

Unnatural Aura (Su): Animals will not come within 100' of an Epic Zombie, and Panic if forced to do so (they remain Panicked so long as the Epic Zombie is within Range).

Lifesense (Ex): Epic Zombies may automatically sense Living creatures within 100' as thought they had Blindsight. They also automatically know the strength of their life force as if they had cast Deathwatch.

Spell Resistance (Ex): The Epic Zombie gains Spell Resistance equal to 14 plus half its hit Dice.

Damage Reduction (Ex): Gains Damage Reduction 15/Slashing and Epic.

Regeneration (Ex): Epic Zombies gain Regeneration 5. Fire does normal damage to an Epic Zombie.

Unnatural Vitality (Ex): The Epic Zombie gains Maximum hit points per hit die.

Negative Energy Aura (Ex): All Undead within 60' of an Epic Zombie gain Turn Immunity.


Saves: Unchanged.

Abilities: -2 Dex. It has no Int or Con score. Strength increases by an amount equal to Hit Dice (i.e. if it has 22 Hit Dice it gets +22 Str). Charisma drops to 1.

Skills: Unlike other Mindless creatures Epic Zombies retain some skill. They keep all ranks in the following skills (but cannot add more ranks with further Hit Dice or Levels): Climb, Hide, Jump, Listen, Move Silently, Spot, and Swim.

Feats: Epic Zombies retain all Feats, but do not get more Feats with further Hit Dice or Levels.

Environment: Any Land or Underground

Organization: Unchanged, usually Solitary

Challenge Rating: +4 (+5 if former Spellcaster)

Treasure: None, but if the Base Creature was wearing or carrying any magical items it still has them (though most likely it can't use them)

Alignment: Always Neutral or Chaotic Evil

Advancement: An Epic Zombie can keep gaining Hit Dice up to double the Base Creatures. If the Base Creature advances by Class Level the Zombie may possibly advance by Character Levels (see above).

Level Adjustment: +9 (+10 if former Spellcaster)

"Bert...there's something different about this one..."

There are few Epic Zombies in the world. Necromancers love the idea, but they tend to create zombie plagues, and thus quickly drawing unwanted attention. They make great shock troops for the undead horde though, so expect to keep seeing them.

I don't have the time now, but in the future would you guys object to a generic Epic Monster template?

The Mentalist
2010-10-09, 01:15 AM
Alright, so I was going through the zombie template and thinking "Why is this an Epic zombie... +HD to Str... that'd do it. I think that it needs some DR or Fast healing (maybe both) to give it a little more damage soak ability.


As for a generic epic monster template, isn't that what Paragon is for? What did you have in mind for it?

Bhu
2010-10-09, 01:17 AM
Well an Epic Monster template seems to be a common request. And I'd be the 1st to do it...:smallwink:

The Mentalist
2010-10-09, 01:20 AM
Didn't your Kaju (I can't spell it.) do that?

And I have seen a few "make any monster epic" templates but I'd like to see one from you.

Updated zombie. SHould i add some fear/stench/disease type stuff too?

Disease possibly, fear, again possibly. I wouldn't say stench though, stepping on ghoul toes.

How bout the ability to make opponents Panick during a Grapple :belkar:

The Mentalist
2010-10-09, 02:28 AM
I would say awesome but I hate grapple rules. Good idea though. Really great idea, makes you worry about a grapple more against a mook. (Which I think these will still be, just epic mooks.)

got bad news my friend. I had some pics to scan and monsters to get statted out but alas, my computer got the plauge and died.
so I cannot not give you the pics...
BUT! I recon I can still make a humble request?
remember the netherking and his temple in the nightcloud mountains? yeees... I need guardians for it, formed out of the very clay in the walls of some of the caves there, full of bones and old, foul magic.
these guardians would be clau creatures with long tentacles instead of arms (10 foot reach methinks) they have the ability to dance, which creates several magical effects (such as making faces come out of the mud and bite the PC#s)
Think you can cram that in a cr4 creature?
.................................................. ............
speaking of which... I cant find the critters 1 thread.
is it still around?

I can do it, but I'm not sure I can do it at CR 4.

Also Zombie updated.

2010-10-10, 05:19 AM
very well...cr 5 then?
do what you must. but since they are for an E6 game it would be rather... uhm... :smallmad: if they were too powerful.
imean, the players are gonna be about level 4 when they encounter them, tough they will have a lv5 npc with them at that time

Please?

2010-10-12, 12:09 AM
Epic Zombie is almost done cept CR.

Think CR 4 is okay for the purple people eater?

Serpentine
2010-10-12, 10:02 PM
You asking the requester or the crunchers?
As a cruncher, no idea.
As the requester, doesn't seem unreasonable to me. He's not exactly a big threat (unless you happen to be a purple person).

Bhu
2010-10-12, 11:19 PM
I was pretty mcuh asking whoever, but I did very much want your input yes.

If you guys think the CR/LA for Epic Zombie is good I shall do up the next requests (and perhaps a Chibithulhu if there is time).

The Mentalist
2010-10-13, 12:54 AM
Should the epic zombie maybe have command over normal zombies instead of just having them defend him?

I think that the LA is fine just looking at it (high actually, I'd put it at six but you have to balance this against vamps so against the system it's perfect), although I think the challenge rating bump may be a little low. This turns melee brutes into unstoppable juggernauts of death. I think at higher CRs it will mean little but at the lower ones (you can get 21HD pretty early) it's obscene. This is a bit of an issue with the system itself though I suppose.

So thinking through all that I suppose it should stay where it is.


And with your permission I'd love to write a few stories using that template. It's really quite cool. (This is why I read your work usually, it has some awesome writing fodder, there's poetry based on your work.)

Bhu
2010-10-13, 03:33 PM
Sure go ahead.

Poetry? O_o

The Mentalist
2010-10-13, 03:36 PM

Some comic verse for Bert and Abner, some epics based off of some of your more serious monsters.

"Beware the walls. There is truly evil magic embedded in them. And it will come for you if you approach it."

The caverns of the Netherking's mountain are littered with caves containing the bones of victims and old, foul magic gone bad. It is in these places that the spirits of the Earth have become corrupt and rise up possessing the clay and muck to form vaguely humanoid bodies with long tentacled arms that reach for intruders.

Dance of the Hungry Earth (Su): As a Full Round action a Watcher may dance, and if the 'floor' (for lack of a better term) in a 20' Radius around it begins to boil and shift, and mouths with sharp stone teeth rise up to bite victims. Anyone within this area must make a DC 15 Reflex Save (Save DC is Constitution based) or be knocked prone. Anything in the area takes 1d6+3 damage regardless of whether it makes the Save or not (Bonus damage on the bite is also based on the Watchers Con). It can do this from inside earthen walls due to it's Earth Glide ability.

Earth Mastery (Ex): The Watchers in the Walls gain +1 to Attack and Damage rolls as long as they are touching earth or stone.

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Watcher in the Wall successfully hits with it's tentacle take it immediately gets a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.

Earth Glide (Ex): Watchers can glide though Earth and Stone at their normal Land Speed without leaving a tunnel behind them. If a Move Earth spell is cast in the Area a Watcher is in it is moved back 30 ft. It is also Stunned for 1 round unless it makes a DC 15 Fortitude Save.

Combat: Watchers will generally remain hidden within the walls watching intruders and allow them to pass so they can ambush them from behind. Once they are behind them they use Dance of the Hungry Earth to divide and harass their victims before moving in for the kill.

Turn Immunity (Ex):You are Immune to Turn/Rebuke Undead attempts.

Spell Resistance (Ex): The Epic Skeleton gains Spell Resistance equal to 14 plus half its hit Dice.

Damage Reduction (Ex): Gains Damage Reduction 15/Bludgeoning and Epic.

Regeneration (Ex): Epic Skeletons gain Regeneration 5. Fire does normal damage to an Epic Zombie.

Feats: Epic Skeletons retain all Feats, but do not get more Feats with further Hit Dice or Levels. It also gains Improved Initiative if it doesn't have it already (and Superior Initiative if it does).

Environment: Any Land or Underground

Organization: Unchanged, usually Solitary

Challenge Rating: +4 (+5 if former Spellcaster)

Treasure: None, but if the Base Creature was wearing or carrying any magical items it still has them (though most likely it can't use them)

Alignment: Always Neutral or Chaotic Evil

Advancement: An Epic Skeleton can keep gaining Hit Dice up to double the Base Creatures. If the Base Creature advances by Class Level the Skeleton may possibly advance by Character Levels (see above).

Level Adjustment: +9 (+10 if former Spellcaster)

"Awfully quick for a dead guy."

"Abner and the giant Pigeon"
(Spoiled for your protection)

Abner rode into town all covered in goop
All the pretty farmwives fainted dead
The shopkeep smiled and said
"I warned you about that Dire pigeon poop"

Abner tried to get some soup
And a great keg of beer
But all of the townspeople all steered clear
Of the monster slayer all covered in poop

Abner got sick of smellin' like poop
So he went and took a bath in the stream
A couple seconds later he gave a great scream
When he found out the river ran in a loop

Abner found his good buddy Bert
Bert said "I warned 'bout those stinky birds
But you wouldn't heed my wise ole words"
Abner growled and said "Help me scrape this off or you're gonna get hurt!"

Okay I'm gonna have to split up the Epic Critter Template by type to make it easier on me. Initial abilities will just be based on the monsters in the MMI, and I can modify over time.

Epic Aberration

This is an Acquired Template which can be applied to any Aberration whose Hit Dice are 21 or higher. For purposes of this Template it is assumed no Aberration has a maximum Hit Dice in it's Advancement scheme. Please remember to adjust skills, BAB, Feats, Saves, CR etc before applying this template if Hit Dice increase from the Base Creature.

Size and Type: Normally unchanged, but see Special Qualities below.

Hit Dice: Unchanged.

Speed: All Movement types double their base Speed, and if the Aberration has Flight, the Maneuverability increases by one class (i.e. from Poor to Average, or Average to Good, etc.). Also it may change on the options chosen below.

Armor Class: Double any Armor Class Bonuses not gained via Feat or based off of a Stat Bonus (such as Dexterity). Also it may change on the options chosen below.

Attacks: Normally unchanged, but see Special Attacks.

Damage: Normally unchanged, but see Special Attacks.

Special Attacks: Retains all Special Attacks of the Base Creature, and gains the following, and gains the following changes to Special Attacks it may already have:

Casting/Manifesting: If the Base Creature can cast Spells, manifest Psionic powers or use Spell-Like, Psi-Like, or Supernatural Abilities it's caster or Manifester Level is now equal to it's Hit Dice or CR whichever is higher. The Save DC's now get a +4 Racial Bonus. If the Base Creature can Manifest Powers or Cast Spells as a PC class of a specific Level, this means they now cast/manifest as a member of that class equal to their Hit Dice or CR. Abilities that can be used a limited number of times per day can be used an extra 3 times per day each.

Poison: If the Poisons normal effect is Ability damage, change Initial damage to 2d6 Constitution and Secondary damage to Death.

Rays: Increase maximum Range to 240 ft.

Lines: Increase Range to 160 ft.

Cones: Increase Range to 80 ft.

Radius: Increase Radius to 60 ft.

Gaze Attack: The base range doubles.

Improved Grab: You may now use this ability on creatures your own Size class or smaller.

Disease: The Save DC for diseases increases to 10 plus half HD plus Constitution Modifier.

Breath Weapon: Breath Weapons may now be used every other round.

It also gains x choices from the following list:

Special Qualities: Retains all Special Qualities of the Base Creature, and gains the following changes to Special Qualities it may already have:

Darkvision, See in Darkness, or Low Light Vision: If the Base Creature has any of these abilities, it can now see perfectly well in normal or magical darkness.

Blindsight: Double the range.

Energy Resistance: Double the base number. For example if the Base Creature has Energy Resistance 10, it now has 20. If this would raise the Resistance to 60 or more, it now has immunity instead.

Damage Reduction: DR doubles, and DR/Magic becomes DR/Epic. For example DR 5/Magic becomes DR 10/Epics. If the DR is a particular Alignment or substance it now becomes DR/(substance or alignment) and Epic. For example Silver and Epic for Werewolves.

Spell Resistance: Spell Resistance increases to 15 + CR, unless what it already has is already higher.

Scent: The Base Creature gains Improved Scent and Uncanny Scent as Bonus Feats.

Telepathy: The base Creatures range triples.

Fast Healing or Regeneration: Double the Base Creatures number. If it had Fast Healing or Regeneration 5 it now has 10.

It also gains x choices from the following list:

Saves: Will have to possibly be recalculated due to Ability changes, or what you choose from Special Qualities.

'Whats that noi...AAAAAAHHHH!"

Dorf the Wildly Incompetent needed some guardians, but he had such a bad rep no one wanted to work for him. So he made some by using the spells originally used to create Owlbears to make the first Hummingators. He judged them a failure due to their size. They ate him in his sleep. Subsequently they've infested the marshes.

Distraction (Ex): Any living creature vulnerable to a swarms damage that begins it's turn with a swarm in it's square is Nauseated for 1 round unless it makes a DC 15 Fortitude Save. Spellcasting or concentrating on spells within the area of a swarm requires a Concentration Check (DC is 20 for skills, 20 + Spell Level for spellcasting).

Grip (Ex): Leaving the area of a Hummingator swarm requires a DC 20 Strength Check.

Combat: Hummingator swarms tend to fly in, grab hold, and munch away crazily. They aren't tactical.

"Swamp assignments always suck. Always. Oh look, it's a flying reptile. How unlikely."

Simon the Moderately incompetent inherited his Uncle Dorf's notes, and realized his relative had forgotten to carry the 2 in his math. He made more respectable sized Hummingators, which promptly devoured him in his sleep. The current holders of the notes used them to start a cooking fire, so perhaps the world need not worry about false Dragons being made.

Improved Grab (Ex): If a Hummingator successfully attacks with it's Bite, it can immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If successful it does it's Bite damage with a successful Grapple Check.

Combat: Hummingators tend to nest in trees hiding till likely prey comes by, at which point they make a few fly-by's to soften it up before grabbing and mauling it.

Now take what they did with the cranium rat and apply it to all the other critters. :smallamused:

"Bert?"

"Yeah Abner?"

"I quit. Screw this."

"Just exhale slowly Abner."

Unlike many magical follow ups to abominations like the Owlbear, the Zebrocerous actually worked. It's tough, it's quick, and it's mean. It was also manageable enough to keep as a guard beast. They're quite popular with warm weather dwelling Warlords, madmen, and freaks of all kinds.

RAAAAAHHH! (Su): When making a Charge Attack the Zebrocerous does 4d8+24. All attacks made against it that round have a 50% miss chance due to it's outline breaking up.

Unusually Good at Hiding (Su): Even at rest Zebrocerous are hard to hit from range. They have a +2 Deflection Bonus to AC against ranged attacks, and get a +2 Racial Bonus on Saving Throws if the ranged attack is magical. They also get a +10 Racial Bonus to Hide Checks. Which is creepy because they aren't very quiet...

Combat: Zebrocerous tend to do the usual Rhino thing: charge, repeatedly gore, if maybe opponent falls down step on him a lot.

"Bert...didn't we just do this?"

After his success with the Zebrocerous, a certain nameless mage wanted something a little more traveling. Something not limited to the Plains. Mostly because he was fleeing the local grasslands for a swamp because it was a hell of a lot more defensible. You can only be surprised by adventurers so many times before you think "Maybe my current location isn't ideal".

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Crocerocerous successfully hits with it's Bite attack, it may immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If it is successful, it may do bite damage. If it Pins the opponent it can use it's Shred ability.

Shred (Ex): Each round that it successfully maintains a pin, the Croconocerous deals 4d8+36 damage to its victim

Combat: The Crocerocerous usually charges, goes for the bite, and begins ripping it's opponent a new one.

"Bert...I do not like how that thing is looking at us..."

In one of the most bizarre incidents of magical hybridization on record, the great wizard Sandaman decided that he needed some magical guardians, but all he had to work with were the massive llama herds surrounding his mountains, and the occasional flock of birds. So he said to hell with it and went for broke. And thus the Llamabirds were born. He had still had huge herds for food and fur to make money while he was involved with higher pursuits, and no one but the most magical of opponents was willing to wade through the Llamabirds.

PTOOEY! (ex): A Llamabird has can blind an opponent with it's spittle for 1d4 rounds if they fail a DC 15 Reflex Save (Save DC is Constitution Based). This has a range of 30', is a Standard Action, and can be done a number of times per day equal to their Constitution Modifier.

Combat: Llamabirds will tend to watch potential enemies closely while making no move against them, and then hock a loogie into their eyes to blind them before charging. Birds are mean, deceptive critters.

"Bert is that giant shrimp petting that giant fish?"

"I'll be damn glad when we retire Abner. Things just ain't the same anymore as when we started."

Goby Minions are an odd species of fish living in a symbiotic relationship with Giant Pistol Shrimp. The Shrimp builds and excavates a burrow, and the Goby (which has much better vision) maintains guard and warns it of danger so they can both hide. Although good lord knows what the combo has to hide from. Krakens maybe. Goby Minions are oddly somewhat trainable, and many would be evil madmen keep them as warning systems.

Enhanced Sight (Ex): Goby Minions can see normally in clear water, and 2d8x10' in murky water.

Combat: Gobies hate fighting and prefer to hide in their shared burrows. If necessary they will bite and usually flee unless their benefactor shrimp is threatened.

"I'm really beginning to question your teaching methods."

The Deadly Nadder is one of the most beautiful of the dragons with bright blue scales and a light beige underbelly, and yellow, orange, and blue mottling on the wings and bright yellow spines. It's diet consists largely of poultry, as livestock makes it ill.

Magnesium Flare (Ex): As a Full Round Action up to 6 times per day the Nadder may unleash a blast of Magnesium laced fire, considered to be the hottest among all the dragons. The fire is a ranged touch attack with a range of 100'. It does 5d10 fire damage, and anything hit by it that is metal is affected as if by a Heat Metal spell, and any flammable materials will burst into flame and burn for 1d6 rounds. The fire is so hot that if it does enough damage to an opponent to kill him with one shot he is immediately reduced to ash.

Poison Spikes (Ex): As a Full Round Action the Nadder may unleash a volley of poisoned spikes from it's tail up to twice per day. They have a range of 100', and the Nadder rolls to hit a 5' area similar to grenade like weapons. Anything in that area takes 3d6 damage and must make a DC 18 Fortitude Save (Save DC is Constitution based) or be poisoned (Injury, Initial Damage Stunned for 1d3 rounds, Secondary Damage Paralysis for 1d3 rounds.

Combat: While agile fliers, Nadders prefer to land before attacking and fight on the ground for reasons unknown. Since their fire is limited in use they save it for tougher targets and use it if necessary only. Usually it prefers to bite, unleashing the spines against quick opponents, or for stunning prey.

Bhu
2010-12-11, 06:37 PM
Any thoughts on how many times they should be able to use their breath? The only one they specifically mention a limit for is the Gronkle.

Also, I have updated Bert over on the BG forums.

Mulletmanalive
2010-12-12, 05:40 PM
Difficult to say. The nadder is probably more of a few blastsnore powerful attack type, given that it's the only one mentioned as being able to melt steel

Are you sure they're worth a huge rating? They didn't look bigger than a hill giant...

Bhu

2010-12-13, 04:42 PM
oh, definitely. I just don't want their attack bonuses to get stellar or to leave them too able to carry big things off with their weight limit. Gronkles seem visibly stronger than them, after all...

Edit: If I seem demanding, it's mostly because i'm usually the one making things to the dictates of others... wierd feeling asking for something...

Hmmm...I think i'd like to up the Str and Con by 2-4 each [your preference] and drop the HD by 2-4 to correspond. I've obviously not been paying attention to D&D in a while because +13 seems high for a CR 5-6's attack bonus.

How do you mean "not made for it?" Is this one of those Engineer things where you make yourself seem like a miracle worker?

flabort
2010-12-16, 09:52 PM
I think he's saying that the various Dragons and the things that make them unique in that 'verse are things that are hard to describe in stats and abilities.

Actually, no offense meant, but it's pretty obvious.

Bhu
2010-12-17, 01:26 AM
Basically what i meant is that given their size, the average hit dice might put them out of lower levels alone. Gronkles can survive passing out and falling from teh sky onto jagged rock, that implies their hella tough. Nadder fire can burn through steel. Simulating that in DnD would push them beyond low level possibly.

Mulletmanalive
2010-12-17, 08:22 AM
Ah, I get ya.

I was planning to issue some stuff like Shield Ward to help with touch attacks, decent shields for that evasiony goodness, etc, but it's going to be martial characters [no TOB] and cunning all the way, so i'll settle for as close as you can get with reasonable CRs...

Bhu
2010-12-19, 02:34 AM
how do you want to handle the noise throwing off their targeting? Some of their breath weapons would be area effects. Im trying to decide on ranged attack or line for the Nadder, because the wiki says they have a range in hundreds of yards.

Mulletmanalive
2010-12-19, 11:10 AM
For the noise, i was just going to include it as a thing for dragons in the game because it's cool: Move action counts as concealment as you confuse the buggers a bit.

As to the breath, either works fine. They only seem to have about a 100ft range on the absolute outside in the film so i'm happy to go with that [I really didn't take to the books very well so i'm happy to ignore them completely].

Area effects are cool [after i noticed that Tower Shields basically grant evasion, i just pulled that down to all shields for these purposes...]

Bhu
2010-12-20, 03:27 AM
Nadder needs feats and cr. The rest is done and awaiting feedback.

Debihuman
2010-12-20, 09:10 AM
The deadly nadder can unleash a volley of impaling tail spikes. I'd suggest that you make that a special attack. It probably should have 1d4 spikes that it can use once every 4 rounds causing 1d4 damage each). On a critical hit, the victim is impaled and must spend 2 rounds removing the spike.

Hot breather (Ex): Any target with 5 Hit Dice or fewer that takes damage from the dragon's breath weapon must make a Reflex save (DC 18) or be incinerated, leaving nothing but a pile of ash. The save is Constitution based. Incinerated targets can be raised or resurrected normally.

It should probably have Flyby Feat, Multiattck, Improved Multiattack and Wingover.

Debby

Mulletmanalive

I haven't run pure 3.5 in a long while so if you reckon that a well coordinated group of PCs can face that at level 3-4 [this is the part i can control, right there] can handle it, then let's slap a CR on it and move on!

"Odin help us."

The Terrible Terror is among the smallest of dragons rarely larger than a cat. Due to their small size and proclivity to travel in flocks they are in some ways more dangerous than bigger dragons as they can easily hide in viking homes and start fires while playing around.

Fire Sniper (Ex): As a Full Round Action up to 6 times per day spit a cute little blast of fire up to a range of 30'. The fire is a ranged touch attack doing 2d6 fire damage, and any flammable materials hit will burst into flame and burn for 1d3 rounds. The Terrible Terrors are incredibly accurate with this fire, and can ignore to hit penalties for Concealment.

Feisty (Ex): Terrible Terrors do not take a Size Penalty to Grapple Checks, and they do not provoke Attacks of Opportunity when entering the square of an opponent due to their size.

Combat: Terrible Terrors tend to play with their food in a manner similar to cats, and spit fire if cornered, angered, or bored.

I'm not entirely sure what that term's suppos'd to mean. "soliciting" is... standing around with nothing to do, I thought. I'm probably wrong, and am to lazy to reach for a dictionary, (even a .com), but I am asking what the term's supposed to mean.

I think you're thinking of the thing Prostitutes do, which is known as soliciting, though that's actually the bit where people stop their car and the lady asks "hey handsome, going my way?"

That bit.

But basically Bhu was asking people to do that to their neighbours for "charity..."

After looking at the Manticore's stat block, I think that the deadly nadder's poison spikes shouldn't be a special attack even though it can only use it twice a day.

Technically, the Point Blank Shot feat doesn't work on the poison spikes because it exceeds the range limit of 30 feet. You should note that this is an exception. Also, the poison spikes should cause piercing damage not untyped damage.

The Point Blank Shot was mostly included for the ifre, but it will work for the spikes (just only if the target is within 30').

Thats a 2.5' space Flabort, their reach is 0

I do like.

Never was sure if they were tiny or small [mostly because the D&D books are generally inconsitant on that].

I reckon they deserve that feat you made elsewhere in the thread that allows them to jump on people without AoOs as a bonus feat too.

Happy Christmas!

"If you're planning on getting eaten, I'd definitely go with the Gronckle."

Gronckles are among the toughest of dragons in their size range. They have to be. Since they are mildly narcoleptic, it's the only way they survive falling out of the sky and crashing into mountains. Despite being slow and ungainly looking they are like hummingbirds, able to fly sideways, backwards, and even upside down.

Lava Cough (Ex): The Gronckle eats solid rock which melts to molten lava in it's gullet. It can store up to 6 'shots' at a time. To recharge it eats 5 pounds of rock per shot (which converts to usable lava 24 hours later). As a Full Round Action it can make a Ranged Touch Attack against a square. Anything in that square takes 2d6 fire damage (Reflex Save for half damage).

Flying Headbutt (Ex): As a Full Round Action you can make a Flying Charge Attack doing 1d8+8 damage. If it is successful you automatically get a Bull Rush Attack as a Free Action (remember the +4 you get for Improved Bull Rush for a total of +14 t o the Gronckles check).

Rock Crushing Jaws (Ex): Your jaws are made to grind up rock, and threaten a critical on an 18-20.

Collision Resistant (Ex): Gronckles take a maximum of 1 point of damage per damage die from falling damage.

Hummingbird Flight (Ex): Despite having Poor Flight, the Gronckle can Move Backward, Reverse for Free, can turn in place to fly sideways, and has no Minimum Forward Speed (see DMG page 20).

Combat: Assuming they're awake and have eaten enough rocks the Gronckle opens by spitting molten lava. Otherwise it charges and headbutts it's opponents, and then bites away till they die.

Gronckle updated, any thoughts so far?

Mulletmanalive
2011-01-06, 12:15 PM
I don't know if i'd rate their Dex that high; same with the manoeuvrability...

The way we know they're so tough is because they keep crashing into things and people and whatnot...

With Hover, they don't need Perfect manoeuvrability and probably only rate, what, Poor when you factor in the increased ability to turn in place from the Hover feat?

Looking good otherwise, probably going to have Power Attack applied as standard, maybe even awesome blow given their "head butt, it goes flying" style of combat...

Bhu
2011-01-06, 05:23 PM
according to the wiki they cant fly fast, but they are the hummingbirds of the dragon world, Apparently they can fly backwards and upside down.

flabort

He's right about hover and perfect maneuverability.

Having good or perfect manueverability is like already having the hover feat, amonst other things, and makes the feat worthless.

The Hideous Zippleback is an unusual dragon with two heads (rare examples have 3) that have distinct personalities, two tails, and small wings (even though they can fly prefer to stay to the ground).

Twin Heads (Ex): Due to having two heads with separate personalities, the Zippleback gets two attacks per round with a Standard Action. If targeted by an effect that Dazes or Stuns it, this affects one head unless the attack is an Area of Effect.

Explosive Breath (Ex): 3 times per day as a Full Round Action the Zippleback can exhale a 20'x20'x20' cloud of green gas that provides Total Concealment and obscures all Vision inside it. A moderate wind (11+ mph) will disperse it in 4 rounds, and a strong wind (21+ mph) will disperse it in 1 round. Otherwise it lingers for a full minute. During this time a single point of fire or electrical damage within the clouds area of effect causes it to explode, doing 10d6 fire damage in a 30'x30'x30' area. The Zippleback's second head can create a spark to set it off as an Immediate Action the round after the cloud has been created unless that head has been doused with water. It is immune to it's own breath, but does not appear to have complete immunity to other forms of fire.

Mist Vision (Ex): The Hideous Zippleback can see through clouds, fog, and mist normally.

Skills: Zipplebacks get a +2 Racial Bonus on Listen and Spot Checks due to their multiple heads.

Combat: Zipplebacks prefer to land and then release a cloud of gas to conceal themselves. After which they may demoralize an opponent or two before exploding the cloud.

"The jungles are forbidden for good reason. We will not escort you there, and if you mention going again you will not leave this village."

Acrosapiens appear to be semi-humanoid spiders, with 2 legs, 6 arms, and a great spiders head with 8 eyes. Common colorations are black with red patterns, but this differs from region to region. Current origin is unknown, but their predilection for becoming assassins points towards the usual 'insane mage creating minions' theory. This is backed up by their being fairly rare and quite powerful for their size. Acrosapiens speak Common, Infernal, and their own language. Their speaking Infernal puts them at odds with the idea that they were made by Lolth, and the Drow refuse to speak about them. Acrosapiens are proficient in all Simple and Martial Weapons as well as any weapon they have assimilated.

Poison (Ex): The Acrosapien's bite is poisonous. Injury, DC 24 Fortitude Save, Initial and Secondary damage is 2d8 Str.

Web (Ex): This is identical to the Huge Giant Spider ability on page 288 of the Monster Manual with a few exceptions. The Acrosapien can use it at will (Escape Artist DC 24, Strength Check DC 28).

Assimilate Weapon (Su): The Acrosapien can attune itself to a single weapon as a Full Round Action. This ritual makes the weapon absorb into the Acrosapien's body. The Acrosapien can from then onward make the weapon melt out of him at will as a free action (The new weapon is the same as the original weapon). The Arcosapien can then re-absorb it into themselves at will as a free action. An Acrosapien can only have one weapon merged at a time. Weapons that have been assimilated are now poisoned, and do poison damage similar to the Acrosapien's bite.

Mimicry (Ex): An Acrosapien can mimic any voice sound it has ever heard. Listeners must make a DC 19 Willpower Save to detect the ruse (Save DC is Charisma Based).

Leap (Ex): You take no penalties for making a Jump Check without a running start, and your jump height is not limited by your Size Class.

Spider Climb (Ex): Acrosapiens can climb as though they permanently have a Spider Climb spell in effect on their person, but they can move at their Base Land Speed.

Devour Enemies (Ex): By devouring the corpse of another formerly living being the Acrosapien learns to take it's form. It must devour more than half of the corpse (not necessarily all at once), and then it can Shapeshift (as per the spell) at will into that creature for the next 24 hours (it can 'remember' a maximum of 2 additional forms at a time. It's size is limited to Small, Medium, or Large, and it can only mimic living beings whose corpse it can feed on (so no Constructs, Elementals, Outsiders, or Undead).

Web Tripline (Ex): An Acrosapien can detect any creature in contact with it's webs, and any up to 60' away due to triplines.

Uncanny Dodge (Ex): See PHB page 50.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): See PHB page 50.

Evasion (Ex): See PHB page 50.

Improved Evasion (Ex): See PHB page 50.

Skills: Acrosapiens get a +10 Racial Bonus on Jump and Spot Checks. They also gain a +8 Circumstance Bonus to Move Silently Checks made while in their webs, and a +4 Racial Bonus to Hide Checks.

Combat: Acrosapiens tend to sneak up on opponents and web them before flurrying them with weapons, one of which is usually poisoned.

It should be fairly powerful as it is ment to be some of the baddest of the bad in my (Non-Epic) campaign. Some maybe a CR of 15 to 18.

Also great work with the tonnes of critters. :smallbiggrin:

Edit: Just noticed the name for the Shapechange. Minor Error with the name Polyphagia means eating too much, but still cool. I kind of cheated with the name myself Supposed to be Aracnosapian but Acrosapian sounds better.

Milo: Any thoughts on the current Acrosapien?

Milo v3
2011-01-17, 04:23 AM
Looks great so far Bhu.
Background Of The Acrosapien:

The first Acrosapien was a dark elf assassin that commited atrocities to any he meet. The gods decided to curse him but they knew not how. Lolth had a idea. To extract some of her essence and merge it into the assassins soul. This occurence forced it to mutate into its new form. The gods then trapped it on a island floating thousand of miles in the sky. Eventually he used magic to create females and the unique monster became a Species.

Also it is awesome. Just how I imagined. Just looking at the stats you can tell it is badass. One thing though I think it should at least have an intellegence of 16. Other than that it is great.

Mulletmanalive
2011-01-17, 02:35 PM

Hi guys, loving this thread, some awesome critters here.

Is there any chance of getting some rules for, if you'll pardon the pun, how to train your dragons? :smallsmile:

A little section where, say, for example, if a player wants to ride a gronkle or a deadly nadder as his mount he can find all the relevant information? Also, how much an egg or hatchling would cost on the open market, how much professional trainers would charge to train one, the creature's carrying capacity, that sort of thing?

Maybe also rules for having them as paladin's mounts, animal companions, etc.?

Mulletmanalive
2011-01-17, 06:59 PM
Raising one of these dragons would be a DC 30 odd check, requiring months [Dragons are DC 20 + HD to rear].

Eggs cost 500gp per HD of the eventual beast, while hatchlings cost 1,000gp per HD. In the books, trading in dragons is seen as a mark of you being unable to catch your own and is pretty much shunned.

I can't discern any pattern for professional trainer costs in the MM, so we'll call it half the price of the egg, taking 12 weeks.

In the film, they get away with it by constantly making DC 20 and 25 Handle Animal checks, though given that dragons can seemingly understand English [and definitely in the books], they probably gain bonuses for the dragons being made friendly by Hiccup.

For the paladin mounts and such, refer to the rules in the Draconomicon for such things and just compare CRs... there are also adaptable rules in the Book of Exalted Deeds, if need be.

Weight limits for the Str 18 critters are 200lb for the Nader and 300lb for the Gronkle [being a quadruped...it seems reasonable to apply the rule as they're so dopey strong]. Low, admittedly, but it doesn't actually seem all that unreasonable that big or armoured folks would be unable to ride a nader...

Mulletmanalive
2011-01-19, 05:10 PM
Immunity sounds alright, though they do make a point if avoiding the blasts of the sea-dragon, so that kind of suggests they aren't immune to a part of that attack form.

Bhu
2011-01-21, 08:42 PM
Unless you want changes the Zippleback just needs CR.


Milo: The Acrosapiens shapeshifting ability mentions it can change into what it eats. Does it have to eat the whole body? And is iit limited to what size class it can be?

Also: I updated Abner over on the BG forums

Milo v3
2011-01-21, 09:02 PM
It has to eat at least 60% of the creature. Minimum size small. Maximum should be Large.

I think that they can only keep thier normal form & two other forms at a time.

Mulletmanalive
2011-01-22, 09:44 AM
A few minor issues before we CR it up:

1) it's got Combat Expertise, which i thinkg fits nicely, but it doesn't meet the prerequisites, so it'll need to be a bonus feat and that means the beasty gets another feat. I suggest Frightful Presence from Libris Mortis so it can do that "strike a pose" bit it does in the film.

2) Could you make it clear that the two heads thing allows it to make two attacks as a standard action? Also, it seems like being dazed would simply lose it an attack, same with stunned, unless both heads were stunned/dazed...

3) It's a minor thing, but i thought you'd decided that the sweeping bit was a tail attack? Just a little surprised...good as is, mind.

Otherwise, smashing.

"Oh, I'm hurt! I am very much hurt!"

Nightmares are among the largest of the dragons, able to spit what basically amounts to Napalm. They are immune to fire, and perversely somewhat flammable so often use their fire to set themselves alight. Because quite honestly it's harder fro prey to fight back when you happen to be on fire.

Kerosene Gel Fire (Ex): Four times per say as a Full Action the Monstrous Nightmare can unleash a blast of burning gel that sticks to whatever it hits and continues burning. The initial blast does 10d6 fire damage with a successful Ranged Touch Attack. The target and everything within a 10' Area surrounding him burns for an additional 2d6 damage for 2d3 rounds. This fire may not be extinguished by non magical means.

Fire Shroud (Ex): As a Swift Action the Monstrous Nightmare can expend one daily use of its Kerosene Gel Fire to light itself aflame for 3 rounds plus one round per point of Constitution Modifier (in the case of this example 7 rounds). It's Natural Attacks and Grapples do +2d6 fire damage, and opponents attacking it in melee take 2d6 fire damage.

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Monstrous Nightmare succeeds with it's Bite Attack it can immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If it succeeds it may do bite damage or Swallow Whole.

Swallow Whole (Ex): A Monstrous Nightmare can Swallow an opponent up to 2 Size Classes smaller than itself with a successful Grapple Check. Swallowed opponents take 2d8+8 points of bludgeoning damage and 2d6 fire damage per round inside the stomach. A swallowed creature can cut it';s way out by doing 25 points of damage to the stomach (AC 14) with a light slashing or piercing weapon. Once it exits muscular action closes the hole and other victims must cut their own way out.

Combat: Monstrous Nightmares tend to set themselves afire before entering melee, perhaps using a blast or two of their breath weapon on the way in.

The Acrospapein is definitely not a CR 15 as is. I could add some assassin type stuff to bump it up to that level

I have an idea. :smallbiggrin:
I wasn't sure if I should give it the ability, as it doesn't fit the spider theme (then again the shapeshifting doesn't either).
Assimilate Weapon(su):The Acrosapien can attune itself to a single weapon by doing a 10 round ritual. This ritual makes the weapon absorbs with Acrosapien.
The Acrosapien can from then onward make the weapon melt out of him at will as a free action (The new weapon is the same as the orginal weapon). The Arcosapien can then re-absorb it into themselves at will as a free action. An Acrosapien can only have one weapon merged and if the weapon that was merged is being used(as per this ability) they can't use this ability again until it is re-absorbed.

Also would a better name for Devour Enemies be "Assimilate".
P.S. I think you should make a creature with the Polyphage ability (What ever you decide it should do) I like the idea of a creature that eats many things as it core concept & ability.

"This...is wrong in so many ways..."

Giant Sunstars are the magically mutated cousins of their smaller, naturally evolved starfish ancestors. As usual some Wizard thought they'd make a great underwater guardian. They were able to increase their metabolism enough to allow them normal movement and even grow massively in size. Unfortunately they couldn't give them a brain. It's kind of hard to order minions who don't have a brain and can't understand what you want. Since then they've become the garbagemen of the seas, eating just about anything organic.

Improved Grab (Ex): If a Sunstar successfully hits with it's Arm attack it may immediately make a Grapple Checkas a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If it succeeds it may do it's Arm damage or use it's Swallow Whole ability.

Swallow Whole (Ex): A Sunstar may eject it's stomach to wrap an opponent up to it's own Size Class with a successful Grapple Check. The stomach can only hold one opponent at a time, but once the opponent is reduced to -10 hp by the stomach acid it is dissolved and it may use the stomach again. Swallowed creatures take 1d8+8 bludgeoning damage and 2d8+8 acid damage per turn in the stomach. Swallowed creatures may cut their way out by doing 25 points of damage against the stomach (AC 15) with a light piercing or slashing weapon.

Damage Ship (Ex): As a Standard Action a Sunstar has a 95% chance to capsize a ship 20' long or less. It has a 50% chance to capsize a ship 21' to 60' long, and a 20% chance if it's over 60' long.

Blind (Ex): Starfish only have simple eyes bale to detect light and darkness. As such they are immune to any effect requiring them to be able to see an opponent.

Regeneration (Ex): Sunstar Regeneration doesn't work against Fire damage. Lost limbs regenerate within 1 week.

Regrowth (Ex): A Sunstar that is chopped up becomes new Sunstars. Any piece equal to about 10% of the body weight of the original begins life as a 2 HD Sunstar, and it regenerates 1 HD a month until it becomes a new full sized Sunstar.

Immunities (Ex): Sunstars are immune to critical hits and disease, and cannot be flanked.

Spiny Defense (Ex): Sunstars are covers in spines, and if Swallowed (!) they do 2d6 piercing damage per round to their opponent. Opponents who attack them with unarmed strikes, natural weapons, or grapples takes 2d6 plus their own Strength Modifier in damage per turn.

Combat: Sunstars tend to capsize boats first if there's no prey in the water (they assume the boat is prey). After that they try to grapple, swallow, and move off till that prey is digested and they can swallow another.

What does Multiweapon Fighting & Improved Multiweapon Fighting do?
Sadly I don't own a copy of Savage Species.

What does Multiweapon Fighting & Improved Multiweapon Fighting do?
Sadly I don't own a copy of Savage Species.

The multiweapon feats can be found in the SRD (see Monster feats) which you can find online at d20srd.org.

It is for creatures with more than 2 arms. Creatures don't gain additional attacks based on their BAB, they gain attacks based on how many appendages they have for natural attacks. With weapons, they are disadvantaged because the standard is -6 for primary hand and -10 for all other secondary hands.

Multiweapon drops this penalty to -4 for primary hand and -4 for secondary hands. With Improved Multiweapon Fighting, a creature gets a second attack with each extra weapon, albeit at a -5 penalty.

I think that Acrosapien's attack lines are wrong. Attack is BAB + Str modifier + size modifier: 11 + 8 +0 = 19. There isn't a feat that adds to this so I'm not sure why any attack is listed at 23.

Bite +19 (1d6+12) and 6 claws +19 (1d6+6). Since it is not proficient with ANY weapon (not weapon proficiency in the stat block or noted elsewhere, it takes a -4 penalty for using weapons in addition to the standard penalties.) Attack with weapons should be 6 weapons at +11/+6.

The Acrosapien has a 34 Str. It's 11 for BAB +12 for Str. Ive added proficiencies to their stat block, can't believe I forgot that.

The weapon line was for them attacking without using the multiweapon attacking Feat, I'll add a line for that.

Still need to bump it to CR 15

Any thoughts on CR 10 for the SUnstar?

Mullet: The nightmare now has feats, and since the dragon manual says they can swallow a viking whole i did add a swallow attack

Mulletmanalive
2011-02-03, 11:59 AM
Yes, though it seems more like the fire shroud should only affect those using natural/unarmed weapons due to the whacking that Stoic gave one without catching fire.

Either that or i could just create a feat that grants 5 fire resistance...

The latter is probably better, actually, leave it as it is.

If you think the Acrosapien needs spell resistance to be CR 15 then add it. I couldn't think of anything to make it more powerful.

Yep, I'd be happy with 3, were it not obvious from the film they have more than that.

Are you planning on basically copying the Sticking Breath feat for this or do you have your own diabolical scheme?

Is it a touch attack or a reflex save to try to escape it?

It seemed to have spatter or spray in the film, sticking in an area around the point of impact, rather than a line as it is set.

How about something like a 10ft square at the far end and then anyone between the zone and the dragon also being hit?

Can the gel be extinguished by any means once it has set fire to someone?

"The ultimate prize is the dragon that no one has ever seen. We call it the Night Fury...No one has ever killed a Night Fury, that's why I'm going to be the first. "

Night Furies are among the most aggressive of dragons, even taking on the larger Monstrous Nightmares sometimes. Perversely if not threatened, they are curious and non-aggressive and display startling intelligence (it's even assumed they understand human languages). Observers often comment they seem like large cats. Furies are also known for their incredibly powerful breath weapon and being among the most skilled fliers of the dragons.

Fireblast (Ex): Six times per day as a Standard Action the Night Fury can spit a ball of blue fire that explodes violently on contact with anything it touches. This is a Ranged Touch Attack that does 12d6 Fire damage to the target and everything else in a 20' Radius. DC 22 Reflex Save for half damage (Save DC is Constitution based).

Improved Grab (Ex): Night Furies are natural wrestlers, and can make a Grapple Check without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. They also get a +4 Racial Bonus on Grapple Checks.

Skills: Night Furies get a +10 Racial Bonus to Hide Checks at night or in dark areas.

Combat: Night Furies rely on their maneuverability and flying speed to fight foes, usually power diving and unleashing their powerful breath weapon before flying off again to return. Since they're nocturnal, their coloration means it isn't often even seen, let alone successfully defended against.
