Request a Homebrew: Thread 2!

[vinihigino]

Check out the Ozodrin. Possibly the longest-running homebrew on these forums - 's been going more than three years. It's a base class, but it's got basically the same fluff - horrible twisted shapeshifting abberation. The average BAB really doesn't matter for it.

Already done that, thanks anyway

Are there any 4e homebrew threads here?

There can be. I don't know if there actually are since fewer seem to play 4e than play 3.5 or Pathfinder. You would have to look through the entire thread to see what has been done.

I'm looking for a 3.5 translation of this. I'm using the Vitality And Wound Points and armour as DR variants. It's for a party of 2 second level characters and I would like it in the next few days.

Thanks in advance.

I'm having trouble figuring out which of the attacks in the video is its crush attack. I'm guessing it's either when he jumps up and crashes into the ground or the part where he brings his hammer up and then brings it straight down at the ground. It's probably supposed to be one of its worse attacks so I'm thinking of making it a full attack option that can be used in place of its great club attack.

I'm not familiar with that mechanic but I think this monster should have 10 wound points. I decided not to make this demon a tanar'ri because I saw in the provided link that it is vulnerable to both magic and fire, while most tanar'ri have at least resistance to fire 10. The picture isn't very clear as to what the demon looks like so I couldn't say if it wears armor or not.

Hopefully Debi stops by pretty soon to check for errors. :D

Thanks this is a grate help.

Pictured: Asylum Demon vs Human

Actually, the Asylum Demon is Gargantuan. He also has limited flight (though I'd say either poor or clumsy maneuverability) and a Crush attack.

You'll also want to give him a bit more natural armor.

Plus, that hammer is anything but light. More like a Greatclub. (it's really just called a hammer)

[Steward]

Holy crap.

You're sending two level 2 characters against that monster???

Um, give me a little bit, I have to make some amendments and do some recalculations.

(God, the picture in that first website was awful. It looks like someone spat on a camera lens.)

C. 937.

I'll take a look once it's revised. The rules on wounds and vitality are in the online SRD here: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/variant/ad...oundPoints.htm

That may help you in redesigning the critter.

It's a game based of the dark souls game and the asylum demons is the first boss in that game, so it's the first boss in my game.

This is really for requesting a homebrew not for getting feedback. You should post and ask for PEACH (please edit and critique honestly) in your title and that may help. I don't normally critique classes since I have no expertise in class balance but yours seems to be grossly overpowered. Shouldn't have all good saves for example. Pick 2.

I also recommend that you remove the spoiler tags. Pictures belong in spoilers not charts.

C. 937. A few errors. Mostly small ones.

It looks like demon hammer is simply a Huge greatclub, which would do 3d8+5 points of damage. or +7 as only weapon
Attack Huge greatclub + 5 melee (3d8+7) or Slam +5 melee (2d6+5)
Full Attack: Huge greatclub +5 melee (3d8+7) or 2 slams +5 melee (2d6+5)

AC is off. Armor Class: 16 (+ 1 Dex + 7 natural, -2 size), touch 9, flat-footed 15

It has too many feats for 4 HD so make one a bonus feat.

Really a Huge creature with 4 measly hit dice? If you are basing it on an ogre but making it bigger, you should increase its Hit Dice too or just leave it Large.

As I said before, it actually needs to be Gargantuan, or its Crush attack (which you've also not included) wouldn't work on Humans.

Try here and here for how it acts in a fight.

I started to do something but I ran into fluff hiccups. Where do you wish the power to come from? The laws of magical reality like a wizard's power? A deity or ideal? Somewhere else? Are you indifferent about it? My own fluff ideas were a bit campaign changing. Are you the DM or a player?

[dspeyer]

C934.1

Melee range? If not, what is the range?
Does it require a (ranged) touch attack? (Probably not).

140 ft. No attack needed (just the will save to negate). Similar to Ego Whip (and yes, I changed half to negate because unstoppable cha damage seemed too much).

[dspeyer]

C940

Lots of aberrations have tentacles and grapple powers (improved grab, constrict), so you can grow those. If you wind up with weapons in all your tentacles, some form of movement+fullAttack becomes very useful. Psionics is common, so Hustle at will? That might be too strong. You can also cherry-pick classic aberration abilities, like a beholder's antimagic cone. Or possibly eye-rays, growing an additional eye on a stalk for each ray learned (all the extra eyes and tentacles should give a very aberrant feel). Likewise, it should gibber. Maybe throw in some less canonical aberrant abilities like spitting poison or corrosive slime (a nasty combination with grappling).

[ericgrau]

H 939
Well here's a minimal fluff version, it can always be altered later.

Studious Clergy ACF
Lose: Domains, extra domain spell slot, spell access through prayer
Gain: You access cleric spells using a spellbook, like a wizard. You also begin knowing the same number of spells (and all orisons), and learn the same number upon each level up, except that this is based on wisdom rather than intelligence. You may likewise take and apply any related wizard feat, such as spell mastery, again using wisdom in place of intelligence and your cleric level or caster level in place of the wizard level or caster level. You may likewise prepare read magic without your spellbook. You may also learn any cleric spells from any domain the same way as any other cleric spell. The domain spells need not be from your deities' domains. You do not gain any access to domain powers, however.

That's kind of what I've already done with new aberrant feats. I was looking more for something that combines that (aberrant feats) with the trained warrior side :/

Those videos are a bit long so I can't quite figure out which of the creature's attacks is the "crush". Can you help me figure out what exactly the "crush" attack is in terms of an attack? I'm assuming that it's the big where the big guy jumps up slowly (limited flight?) and crashes to the ground, but it could be the way that he brings his hammer straight down at the ground and makes a little shockwave, I guess... but then that means that the hammer slam is the pit where he sweeps the air with his club in a kind of spiral motion. I'm having trouble figuring out exactly what kind of stats it should have in terms of damage, attack roll, etc.

I definitely think it should be a full attack though; like, he can't use the crush attack in the same round as the swings of his hammer, right?

Thanks for all the help and comments, by the way!

Someone who already has a bunch of those feats and wants to use them to fight, huh...

• Multi-grip: for each hand or tentacle beyond the base two that you hold a two-handed weapon with, the multiplier for power attack increases by one. Also, for every two extra appendages, you can use weapons intended for a creature one size category larger.
• You can use some standard-action special attacks (Destranchan Throat, Guardian Naga Poison) as single attacks in a full attack progression.
• Demoralyzing intimidation, or maybe even frightful presence.
• Something that allows you to flank or surprise your enemies by taking advantage of weird anatomy.
• Something like dervish dance, if you get enough attacks
• A dodge bonus for extra eyes

I'd like a Bouncer (for 3.5), a 5-level Prestige Class for an Ogre NPC I have in mind. Pebbles the Ogre is a bouncer in the bar where my Sommelier Golem works. He gets his name for the ioun stones floating around his head. He's probably going to have at least 5 levels of Fighter so the Prestige Class can work with that.

I found one Bouncer Prestige Class online here: http://disgaead20.wikispot.org/Bouncer
but I want something that's not D20 Modern based.

He should have the special ability to deal with drunks especially mobs of drunken hooligans (CR 8) see here: http://www.giantitp.com/forums/showp...61&postcount=1

This is for an encounter that I have brewing in my head and I suck at making prestige classes. A little silly is okay but not too silly and it has to follow the standard rules as much as possible.

Thanks
