Re: Final Fantasy X d20 (All Races, All Classes, All Monsters, Blitzball, & MORE!)
Damn, you're right. Okay, over the next few days, I'll be updating some of the monsters mentioned above, so as to be more true to D20 monster creation guidelines. Although some monsters will remain the same, but with explanations for why they go against expectations. All of the monsters were designed to include only the attacks/abilities that they have in the original game. But I do realize that some creature need more/different attacks/abilities if they are going to fit their Challenge Ratings.
Thanks for the catch, Debby. I just finished working up the Arena monsters, so I now have time for such thorough editing. I also wish to repeat here that I will NEVER do this many monsters for a single project again. Never, ever, EVAR.

• Energy Resistance (Su): the creature only takes 50% damage from cold, electricity, fire, & water (force) energy types
• Mimic Shape (Ex): a Mimic can assume the general shape of any object that fills roughly 1,000 cubic feet (10’×10’×10’), such as a massive boulder, a wagon, or a vault; the creature can substantially alter its size by expanding or contracting its internal mass (this does not alter its statistics), allowing it to appear as small as a Medium-sized object (examples: chest, bed, corpse) or as large as a Huge-sized object (examples: house, tree, pond); anyone who examines the Mimic closely (within 5’) can detect the ruse with a successful Spot check opposed by the Mimic’s Disguise check + 10 (of course, by this time it is generally far too late); changing to a different shape is a free action, & so it does not provoke attacks of opportunityLast edited by Zeta Kai; 2008-09-07 at 11:56 PM.

So, I picked up FFX today; only played about an hour, and I have absolutely no idea what's going on. I've played Square games before, so I'm used to it
Otherwise, game seems great so far (No ATB system....Sweet merciful glorious heavens yes!)Last edited by Lappy9000; 2008-09-07 at 12:48 PM.

Re: Final Fantasy X d20 (All Races, All Classes, All Monsters, Blitzball, & MORE!)
Your quite welcome. At least there weren't many monsters that I saw with errors and most of those are relatively easy fixes. Unfortunately, you've got a bunch of monsters with no attacks at all who rely solely on their magical abilities. That's always tough to sell. While it may make them look like their FF video game counterparts, it's going to significantly weaken them in D&D.
I look forward to seeing your edits. I think you've been doing an awesome job so far. This is huge. I couldn't imagine trying to tackle something this big.

Re: Final Fantasy X d20 (All Races, All Classes, All Monsters, Blitzball, & MORE!)
Alright, I've fixed all of the monster's full attacks. This addresses most of the issues that Debby brought up in post #447, as well as tweaking many monsters that weren't mentioned. Some creatures have been left as they are for thematic reasons, but those are in the minority. I've also tweaked the monsters that I haven't post yet, so there shouldn't be furthers issues with the full attacks.

Re: Final Fantasy X d20 (All Races, All Classes, All Monsters, Blitzball, & MORE!)
Sorta. Some have 2 bites when they really should have only one. A creature can't bite twice unless it has 2 sets of jaws. It just looks weird to see 2 bites in the Full Attack line. Ditto with gore.
Biran Ronso who looks like he should have a slam attack in addtion to the gore attacks. . This would give him one gore attack or two slams. Slam would be at +7 melee. [I'm not sure what his damage would be]. He looks too weak for his level without the extra attacks.
Another thing I'm noticing is that you tend to give out only main attacks and not give your creatures secondary attacks. I think some of your creatures could really benefit from having secondary attacks.
For example, Behemoth looks like it could use both Bite and Slam. In that case the Full attack would be Bite +20 melee (2d6+8) and 2 slams +15 melee (2d6+8). I'm just bringing it up as a suggestion. If it had the multiattack feat, the 2nd attack would only be a -2 penalty instead of the standard -5.
Behemoth King would have bite and 2 slams as well. I think to justify the CR it needs to have both.
I'm still a bit perplexed by the apocalypse sword from Braska's Final Aeon/Jecht. It looks like it should a magically enhanced weapon. Otherwise this significantly lowers the CR. Sure it can do a lot of damage, but at 25 hit dice it should be doing lots of damage. Compare that to some other critters with CR 22, and you'll find this one a bit underpowered without a magic sword. I recommend making it +2 sword with one other magical enhancement Keen is nice for extra reach or Dancing so it can move on its own is another good enhancement. I'm not sure how it worked in the video game. At CR 22, that sword is much too weak. It should also be listed in the treasure.
I'm not really sure what Megiddo Flame is either. It's some sort of ranged attack that the Chimeras have. I'm not sure whether this was a natural weapon or not. It makes it difficult to critique.
Fists of fury now makes a lot more sense. Thanks for clarify that.
I like the way you described the Haymaker that the Defenders have. That is so much clearer now.
I'm thinking that the dual horns could benefit from Full Attack of both Bite and Horn. Bite +9 melee (1d6+5) AND 2 Gores +5 melee (1d8+5). You can even bump up the damage on the bite to (1d6+7) for 1 1/2 times Str because it has such powerful jaws. The way the horns are situated, it would be easy to bite and gore the same target.
I have to admit, I don't quite get the Extractor. Is this something encountered underwater? What is the aqua shooter? If it's an item, then you should list it in the treasure as well.
Garuda look good. I like that they only get one attack until #3.
Gemini looks good. Are the weapons natural attacks? If they aren't, then the creatures CAN benefit from multiple attacks based on BAB. I'm thinking that these weapons should probably also be magically enhanced or at least masterwork quality.
It looks like the Geosgaeno has two mouths [at least in the picture] so this is the one time that the 2 bite attacks don't look out of place.
Are FFX ghosts incorporeal like regular D&D ghosts? If so, they need that added: http://www.d20srd.org/srd/typesSubty...rporealSubtype
I'm guessing that these are significantly different from reguar D&D ghosts. This is where a little game knowledge would come in handy.
The Graat's CR is way too high. As long as the party can target it from beyond it's 30 ft. distance, they are golden. I'd drop the CR to 4.
Grendel should be able to gore and bite at the same time instead of two bites or two gores. Because it is HUGE you might want to consider giving it a 2d8 Crush attack like a dragon has. This will beef it up a little to justify the CR 10 that you've given it.
Ice Flan should be vulnerable to fire. I'm not sure that DR 35/magic for a 7 hit die monster is really appropriate. Usually DR is usualy between 5 and 15. I realize that you wanted to beef it up, but I don't think that was the way to go.
Iron Giant look okay. As long as the weapons aren't natural it can use its full BAB +9/+4. It's hard to tell with constructs whether the weapons are natural.
Kusariqqi and Lamashtu should only have one bite as full attack. CR should be lower for both of them by 1 or 2.
Landworm still looks off to me. It should have 1 bite and 1 tail slap perhaps.
Master Tonberry attacks with a weapon not a with a natural attack so he can still use his melee +19/+14 with his chef's knife. That knife does a wicked amount of damage. I think it needs to be more than a standard chef knife to jusify the amount of damage it does. Perhaps Vicious to explain it.
The mech look okay but the CR is probably a little high for them. CR is 3/4 HD it looks like. DR is still a little wonky. If the leader has 20 give the other 15/10/5 depending on rank. It's a little more consistent that way.
Dang that was a lot to look after!

Re: Final Fantasy X d20 (All Races, All Classes, All Monsters, Blitzball, & MORE!)
Fixed some stuff (again). Here's a rough breakdown:
- Got rid of "2 Bites" & "2 Gores" for almost every monster (except Geosgaeno).
- Biran Ronso got a Slam attack (even though a Ronso with class levels normally would not gain such a thing).
- Jecht's Apocalypse Sword is now statted properly.
- Megiddo Flame is a natural ranged weapon, & as such can only be done once per round. It has not been changed.
- Dual Horns/Grendel now have 1 bite & 2 gores on a full attack.
- Extractor is an underwater boss for the Moonflow area. It has not been changed.
- Gemini/Iron Giant's weapons are not natural, & as such they have the standard full attack progression. I've added their weapons to the treasure.
- Ghosts in FFX do not seem to be incorporeal. I've considered making them such, but I'm still not sure. Thoughts?
- The range of Grat's Seed Cannon has been increased. I'm considering other ways to increase their threat level.
- Ice Flans have the Cold subtype already, which has a vulnerability to fire damage built in.
- All flans have DR equal to 5 × HD. It's not stated anywhere; it's just a personal design philosophy.
- Land Worms should be okay with 2 slams in their full attack.
- Tonberry's stats now include a clarification for the Chef's Knife attack.
- Challenge Ratings will not be adjusted; if a creature does not fully match its CR, the stats will be changed to make it fit better.
Hopefully that will take care of most of the full attack issues.

Re: Final Fantasy X d20 (All Races, All Classes, All Monsters, Blitzball, & MORE!)
Normally, a Ronso with class levels would have some kind of weapon, but you neglected to give him one. Is he only fighting with unarmed attacks or are you keeping the slam? Unarmed attacks are fairly wimpy See below:
Spoiler
Unarmed Attacks
Striking for damage with punches, kicks, and head butts is much like attacking with a melee weapon, except for the following:
Attacks of Opportunity
Attacking unarmed provokes an attack of opportunity from the character you attack, provided she is armed. The attack of opportunity comes before your attack. An unarmed attack does not provoke attacks of opportunity from other foes nor does it provoke an attack of opportunity from an unarmed foe.
An unarmed character can’t take attacks of opportunity (but see "Armed" Unarmed Attacks, below).
"Armed" Unarmed Attacks
Sometimes a character’s or creature’s unarmed attack counts as an armed attack. A monk, a character with the Improved Unarmed Strike feat, a spellcaster delivering a touch attack spell, and a creature with natural physical weapons all count as being armed.
Note that being armed counts for both offense and defense (the character can make attacks of opportunity)
Unarmed Strike Damage
An unarmed strike from a Medium character deals 1d3 points of damage (plus your Strength modifier, as normal). A Small character’s unarmed strike deals 1d2 points of damage, while a Large character’s unarmed strike deals 1d4 points of damage. All damage from unarmed strikes is nonlethal damage. Unarmed strikes count as light weapons (for purposes of two-weapon attack penalties and so on).
Dealing Lethal Damage
You can specify that your unarmed strike will deal lethal damage before you make your attack roll, but you take a -4 penalty on your attack roll. If you have the Improved Unarmed Strike feat, you can deal lethal damage with an unarmed strike without taking a penalty on the attack roll.
If you look at the Orc warrior in the MM or online in the SRD [ http://www.d20srd.org/srd/monsters/Orc.htm ] it's got a weapon so giving a classed monster a weapon makes more sense than giving it slam. This is partly my error too since I should have noticed this sooner.

Re: Final Fantasy X d20 (All Races, All Classes, All Monsters, Blitzball, & MORE!)
The 12 HD Dark Flan has DR 60/magic! That's way too much damage reduction. Not even epic creatures have that much damage reduction. It's 4 times better than what the tarrasque has.
Have you looked at the Rules Compendium on damage reduction? DR should be between 5 and 15.
I understand that the various flans rely heavily on damage reduction in the video game, but for a d20 game that is just going to drag out combat unless the party is equipped with epic weapons or artifacts or spells that can do massive amounts of damage. It's not appropriate to a CR 11.
If you give the Dark Flan DR 15/magic, then the Aqua Flan should have DR/10, and the Fire and Ice Flans should have DR/5.
This is more in keeping with their number of hit dice and their challenge rating.

Geosgaeno #2
Bite attack is +38 melee (you and I forgot to add the +4 to the bite from Improved Natural Attack). Doh! And the punchs should be secondary attacks and should have a +29 melee [they are still considered secondary attacks and get the -5 penalty].

Re: Final Fantasy X d20 (All Races, All Classes, All Monsters, Blitzball, & MORE!)
It isn't all that hard to get magic weapons (or the magic weapon spell if you're just importing monsters and not the classes into your game), which neatly bypass DR 60/magic. They're meant to be stupidly hard against melee, but bypassed by magic. I'd actually suggest instead using Debby's lowered DR numbers, but make it DR /-. That way any physical attacks get reduced, but magic bypasses that.

Re: Final Fantasy X d20 (All Races, All Classes, All Monsters, Blitzball, & MORE!)
I wholeheartedly agree. DR 15/- is much, much better.
Anyhow, the Oblitzerator is really cool. It and the negator need some construction stuff but that's minor. If I could figure out the construction rules I'd do it myself.
I sometimes wonder if your fiends should all lose the animal type and all be magical beasts. The animal category doesn't really fit them.

Re: Final Fantasy X d20 (All Races, All Classes, All Monsters, Blitzball, & MORE!)
I may consider a DR reduction (?), but not so low as DR15/magic. DR/-- is inappropriate for the flans/elementals, as that is not representative of how they appear in the game. I will address this when I have time. Move along.

Re: Final Fantasy X d20 (All Races, All Classes, All Monsters, Blitzball, & MORE!)
Alright, I fixed the Damage Reduction for the flans & the elements. All flans have DR=HD×2, while all elements have DR=HD×1. Enjoy.

Thanks Zeta. They look much more playable now. I know it was a total pain so I really appreciate that you made the changes. No more quibbles from the peanut gallery (well at least not from me)

• Counterattack (Ex): upon being hit by a successful physical attack, the creature gains 1 extra attack of opportunity against an opponent that successfully hit them, even if the attack wouldn’t normally allow an attack of opportunity
• Powerful Build (Ex): whenever the creature is subject to any size modifier, it is treated as 1 size larger if doing so is advantageous to it; it is also considered to be 1 size larger when determining whether a creature’s special attacks based on size (such as improved grab or swallow whole) can affect it; the creature can use weapons designed for a creature 1 size larger without penalty; however, its space & reach remain those of a creature of its actual size; the benefits of this racial trait stack with the effects of powers, abilities, & spells that change the subject’s size categoryLast edited by Zeta Kai; 2008-10-22 at 08:15 AM.
