Re: More flumphs than you can shake a flindbar at: Let's Read the Tome of Horrors!
Yeah, the lesser shadows are somewhat of an enigma. They aren't really that fit for 1st level play, yet..they're designed for 1st level play.

Re: More flumphs than you can shake a flindbar at: Let's Read the Tome of Horrors!
Oh yes, the incorporeal mook factor. That is true. It might be more sensible to have them running backup for true shadows, or...hmm...
Perhaps have the shadow's create spawn ability produce lesser shadows, the true shadows only forming out of circumstances beyond their control.LGBTitP

If its freshly turned shadows are lesser they should "grow up" into full shadows imo. After they learn the incorp ropes.

Re: More flumphs than you can shake a flindbar at: Let's Read the Tome of Horrors!
I support this idea.
-------------------------
Skeleton, Lead
No, not the name of a heavy metal band (or is it?)...lead skeleton is actually a monster in this tome. Specifically, a CR 7 golem that is made as another cash-in for the popular "make Clerics cry" franchise. Like a good portion of other undead-mimics, it has thick Damage Reduction and generally fits the mold of a walking tank. The Achilles heel of this particular golem is that it is, ironically, slowed by sonic attacks and spells. So yes, the metal skeleton can be haulted by the power of rock.
Skulk
Also known as "put levels of Rogue on me, idiot". Seriously, skulks are pretty closely tailored to be Humanoids that are going to have levels in Rogue at one point or another. They get high bonuses to Hide and Move Silently checks, have natural sneak attack (it doesn't stack with Rogue level sneak attacks, but still), can pass without a trace, and have +4 Dexterity bonus. Oh, and hey, their favored class is Rogue. Convenient. The only type of Rogue they don't really fit is the charmer archetype, due to their -4 penalty to Charisma.
Skull Spider
Sometimes a name really does say it all. It's a CR 1/4 Vermin that is...well...a spider that hides in a skull. That's it. It's venomous, it has nothing really special of note beyond its fluff. It's a spider that lives in a skull. That is all.LGBTitP

I can't wait for the next entry...it will kick off with the most idiotically named monster ever. Even a 7 year old kid would be embarrassed to created a monster called...

Re: More flumphs than you can shake a flindbar at: Let's Read the Tome of Horrors!
It could very well be.
Thank you, it's always nice to know my little project is enjoyed.
Skulleton
Oh yes, Thurbane wasn't lying. This is a rather embarrassing name for a rather embarrassing monster. These CR 3 little pests are demilich-mimics, whose only real abilities are a filth fever-spreading bite and producing a stench-ridden dust cloud. At least this one's actually an undead...
Slaad Lord of Entropy
The mighty Ygorl is a CR 29 brute who is probably the most nightmarish Chaotic Neutral monster you'll ever meet. With a +5 anarchic scythe in his hands and an absolute motherload of chaotic spell-like abilities at his fingertips, he is a monster in combat. But no, that's not even the extent of it! To make things even worse for you, he rides a brass dragon into battle, can command the undead and summon slaadi, and has a save-or-die touch. Thankfully, this ashen skeletal giant is unlikely to care about fighting you personally; and if you are strong enough that he actually takes an interest in you himself...well...pray that something else kills you first. A monster truly befitting the title of the ruler of Limbo.
Slaad Lord of Insanity
While not quite as strong as Ygorl, Ssendam, the CR 27 Slaad Lord of Insanity, is certainly no pushover. A giant golden amoeba with black, barbed tentacles and a giant brain in the center, Ssendam is an imposing figure. Like his "brother", this Slaad Lord can summon slaadi and produce potential spell-like abilities; unlike Ygorl, however, Ssendam cares little for the slaadi themselves, and prefers to wander the planes and generally be enigmatic. While not able to kill with a touch, being swatted by this slaad lord's pseudopods will knock you back with 3 levels of negative energy drain a hit. He is also amorphous and thus cannot be flanked and isn't subject to critical hits in his natural state. Oh, and he can turn into a knight in less-than-shining armor if he wants to traverse the planes in cognito...but really, why give up being able to kill people by slapping them in the face with your negative level pseudopods?Last edited by Rappy; 2010-07-22 at 01:01 PM.

That brass dragon does make an appearance in the Downer comics in Dungeon magazine.
I can't remember much about him offhand.Marut-2 Avatar by Serpentine

No reason given; he just rides a brass dragon to enhance his concentrated Awesome.

While the 4E version of Ygorl looks more like a slaad made of smoke (with glowing red eyes) he still rides a brass dragon.

What is the dragons name? Or is it not given?
Also do skull spiders dwell in skulletons? Seems like a match made in ... well, I guess hell.Originally Posted by Alabenson

4E also uses Shkiv as the brass dragon's name.

Slime Crawler
The opposite of the carrion moth, the slime crawler represents the earliest stage in the carrion crawler life cycle. A pathetic CR 1 sludge-dripped, the slime crawler is more flavoring than anything, but it's good in its own way. I must question the expansion of information on carrion crawlers of all things, though. And what exactly does this mean for a carrion crawler? If they aren't the larvae, then...what, are carrion crawlers a mobile pupa stage or something?
Slithering Tracker
Yay, another Int 10 ooze that has no ambitions for its intellect beyond eat-eat-slurp-kill. It has Constitution drain and paralysis, as well as transparency and blindsight as well. Wee. Oh, but this one does have an amusing fluff piece:

Slug, Giant
Like some reject from a 50s B-movie, the giant slug is a crawling elephant-sized gastropod with an acidic spit projectile. Ambling along without a care for obstacles (since it can squeeze into spaces fit for creatures down to Medium size) or enemies (since it is immune to critical hits), the giant slug fears only one thing in the world: salt. Yes, because every adventurer carries around bags of salt for the express purpose of dumping them on a giant slug.Last edited by Rappy; 2010-07-30 at 05:10 PM.

Anorganic life. Duh. Silicon life forms technically would be anorganic.
