Filth "Demons"

[Grimsage Matt]

I'm making a campain where one of the major conflicts is Technology VS magic. Filth creatures are often called demons becuse of the negative implications, but are self-replicating biological contructs/weapons. Or abberrations :) I'm taking some of my idea's from Gormans E6 threads.

Name CR Role

Filth Shard 1/2 Minion
Lesser Filth 1 Footsoldier
Filth Flinger 1 Range attacker
Filth Hulk 2 Shock Trooper/ Rager
Filthbringer 3 AoE Debuffs/ Controller
Filth Priest 3 Healer and Buffer
Filth Magus 4 Psionic Adept
Filth Knight 4 Commander
Filth Noble 5 Buffer and Stronger Commander
Filth King 7 Boss

Technist Subtype;
Counts as the Law and living construct subtypes when benifical. Also acts as the Knack abillity of Engineer, and Gives SR equal to 12+HD. In addition, Creatures with the Technist subtype are Vunrable to magic. Xenothurgic effects make Technist creatures save vs massive damage.

Filth Traits; All Filth creatures are immune to Acid, Poison and disease. They are similar to Oozes. As such their amorphous, Have light fortifcation and stun and daze effects last 1/2 as long. When filth creatures die, they dissolve into a pool of acid and industrial waste.

Honestly, as a player I would love the filth shard. Animate Dead on them(since they're aberrations), they only have 1/2HD, so you have max 40 of these things at level 5. They can burrow, and have spell resistance(and are a swarm?!)(if they are, add the swarm subtype). If it comes up, rule they have no skeleton.

General advice:
If it has SR, it should be a higher CR. Move it up to CR 1.
Otherwise, lesser filth looks good.

[Grimsage Matt]

Added some stuff for their traits. To be honest, I was going for Biological contruct/Single cell organisim hybrid. And the Reason they get SR is a good one ;) While resistent to a degree, magic and technology don't mix well :) Added in a little Xenothugury refrence becuse if magic, which bends the laws of physical reality has a negative effect on em, how much disruption do ya think the far realms would cause:smallbiggrin: as for animating them, ya, should have inculeded something before saying how you can't. And the shards not a swarm, just a tiny sized living toxic waste monster :smallbiggrin: I ment swarm like a swarm of zerglings
