"Bert...what the Hell are we doing here? What the hell is that thing? Why does no one else seem to be worried?"

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! (this is what I get for spending most of my time on my own projects I suppose)

[Debihuman]

Bhu, this is truly amazing -- 50 pages of critters (not to mention your orc and cat prestige classes). I'm just a rank amateur when it comes to designing new critters and I've barely touched prestige classes.

Ever go to Sci-Fi conventions? I'm so buying you a drink!!!

[Mulletmanalive]

Curse my oceanic seperation from Gencon! [waves fist].

That said, was there in Indianapolis two weeks after and the convention centre still smelled funny...

I do indeed go to scifi cons, but I do not drink so alas you will have to buy me a coke zero

I'll buy you a coke zero then!

Anyhow, let's get back to the critters. Here's an old version of the OEOHFPPE but I have no idea who made it. Note: I didn't.

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?

[Serpentine]

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.

[Debihuman]

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.

Anyways, congrats on finishing a whole thread of creatures. Let's hope there's enough ideas out there for another.

[Bhu]

Thanks guys!!!

All Critters updated, should be done this weekend. I'm out of work again so I'll need a diversion at some point.

Ner

It's funny cuz the squirrel gets dead

[Bhu]

Yak and Firecat are done.

Does anyone know if pistol shrimp have limits on using their claw, like a pause between blasts or soemthing?

Serp, is there anything else you wanna see added to teh purple people eater.

[Dubious Pie]

Not as far as I can tell.

[Bhu]

Pistol Shrimp is done. Purple People Eater will be done soon. Then I'll be doing another critter of my own or open to more requests.

[DracoDei]

That is the second version of an enlarged pistol shrimp I have seen. Don't remember who did the other one. It was probably on these boards, but may have been in "Dreadmire".

[Bhu]

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.

[Bhu]

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

[The Mentalist]

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]

Well an Epic Monster template seems to be a common request. And I'd be the 1st to do it...

[The Mentalist]

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.

[Bhu]

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

[The Mentalist]

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

[Bhu]

How bout the ability to make opponents Panick during a Grapple
