Nice to see you're still making monster classes. Not sure what I think about the pony theme though

*Boom* Defeated by a serious compliment!

Anyway, take your time. I just suggested them because I know you're always looking for new ideas.

Thanks. Though, I'll probably the lower CR ones before the higher CR ones, just for the sake of simplicity.

I'm getting away from that for a while, so don't worry about any more of those any time soon. Apparently, my requests now consist of Illurien, Baernoloths, and Obyriths/demon lords. In other words, pretty much the exact opposite.

1. I never said the ponies were BAD, just confusing.
2. Seeing as I can't think of anything else to homebrew, I think I'll have a go at the Baern myself. I'll also fish out my list of all the published Obyrith (don't ask) if you want.

1. Aaah. My mistake.

Here, I'll clear up your confusion. My Girlfriend requested them.

2. A list of all the published ones, and their sources, would be great. Feel free to tackle the Baern, because it has several abilities that don't sit well with me. That's not to say that I won't ever do it, but probably not going to happen any time soon.

And here I thought the ponies were taking over the internet.

Your list, my friend;

CR 4 - Ekolid (FC1 p38)
CR 10 - Draudnu (MMV p24), Laghathti (Web Enhancement)
CR 14 - Verkia (Dragon 357 p31)
CR 15 - Sibrex (FCI p53)
CR 16 - Uzollru (Draon 349 p41)
CR 16 - Uzollru (Draon 349 p41)
Obyrith Demon Lords - FCI

Oh they are. It's just that it isn't the reason I made them.

I'm atually a pretty darn big fan of the show, as is probably obvious from my multiple avatars.

Thanks.

Alright, the ones I'd be most likely to do would be the Ekolid and the Laghathti. The sibriex and Draudnu just look odd, and I don't have a way to get either of the dragon magazine ones. Granted, the Ekolid looks odd, but it looks odd in an awesome way, and the Laghathti doesn't have a picture.

The Demon Lords are CR 20+, Unique monsters. Though, it'd be cool to have a party consisting of Pale Night, Pazuzu and Dagon. I may have to actually stat them out one day.

[Metahuman1]

Um, if your still looking for possible ideas,

Erinyes

Lillend

Centaur

Minotaur

,just off the top of my head. Feel free to ignore any of these that don't take your fancy or you deem to be far too much of a pain in the rear end to deal with.

I'm already very happy with my Weretiger and Werebear and eagerly await my Titan when his time does eventually come.

Could certainly give this a shot.

Lillend

This one too. Could be quite fun.

Centaur

Eh, there's not a whole lot there for me to work with.

Minotaur

I nominate Hyudra's.

I'm already very happy with my Weretiger and Werebear and eagerly await my Titan when his time does eventually come.

Like I said, this will likely be a while before it's done due to it being a 20 level class.

[Hyudra]

I like how you nominate my minotaur but you don't nominate my centaur.

(Though I get that my centaur assumes certain cultural aspects, making them archers & whatnot, which may not appeal to everyone)

The only two monster classes of yours I specifically recall from the original project were Minotaur and Monster of Legend, and they just stood out to me for some reason. I didn't even remember you making the Centaur.

I also recall the Frostwind Virago, and the Ogre Mage, but I think those were after the thread got closed down.

[TravelLog]

You know what else are fun? Sharns. And Phaerimm. And Inevitables.

Not familiar with either of these. Where are they from?

And Inevitables.

Constructs. Eek.

.......


What does it say about me that I'm more afraid of statting up Constructs than I am of statting up demon lords?

It says that having no Con to add to your HP is a bitch to work around.

I have a Sharn Monster Class deep in the recesses of my D&D document folder if you'd like to see it (It's not the best thing in the world).

And so are the immunities.

Speaking of that word, Illurien has been going better than expected.

Sharn are from the following:
3.0: Monsters of Faerun
3.5: Anauroch: Empire of the Shade

Phaerimm are from the following:
3.0: Monsters of Faerun
3.5: Lost Empires of Faerun

And lol. It says you don't work well with robots.

I blame Blitz Krieger from Sergeant Savage and his Screaming Eagles for that.

[mootoall]

Woo hoo! I'm excited!

[Mystic Muse]

I'm glad.

Need to get Nightmare slightly more well done before working on her further though. The few fire based SLAs I gave it probably don't help that much, and I'm not sure what else to give it that fits and wouldn't squick me out (Like the aforementioned Somnambulance).

[Hyudra]

Anyhoo, for whoever requested the Centaur, give this a look.

I recognize it assumes a lot about centaurs, though, and it's a little on the technical side as to how some attacks work, so I won't be offended in the least if someone encourages Soft Serve to do one.

Its harder to get a good grasp of the capablities of a lump of moving metal than it is to get a good idea of what the elder cosmic god-thing can do?


Also, while I am more of a Pathfinder person myself, I realy like these. The Kulumar, for whatever reason, sound fun to adapt to my game. Alien-esqu slavers of souls? Put it on another planet and call it a soul-eater!


Anyway, considering the currant theme going on, how about a Dragon Horse?

Which is awful funny.

*Points to Drakkensteed*

Dragon horse, Dragon Pegasus, and Dragon Unicorn all in one.

[Pokonic]

Which is awful funny.

I tend to make them super-powerful or realy weak.
Dont ask my party about the Mercury Elemental I made. The rouge is still having 'nam style flashbacks.


Onthe dragon horse: I was talking about something like this. Sky-living mist horses: a sadly little used fantasy archtype.

*Doesn't ask*

Ah. Well, I'd kind of like to get away from horses for a while. Especially since Nightmare kinda proved that I don't really know what I'm doing with the higher level ones at the moment.

[Pokonic]

*Doesn't ask*

Your a wise one, ar'tn ya?

Realy,it was the closest thing one could get to a T-180 without it saying "I'll be back." Giving it Assassin levels was a bit much , I think, considering it already poisoned everything it touched.

Ah. Well, I'd kind of like to get away from horses for a while. Especially since Nightmare kinda proved that I don't really know what I'm doing with the higher level ones at the moment.

Oh, okay. Well, how about something a little odd, such as, say, a Muckdweller?

Huh.

Yeah, I'd seen that a while ago, but it didn't really spring at me. Mostly because of the whole archer theme and some of the cultural assumptions. See, when I think Centaurs, I think heavy hitting Skirmishers who use Lances, Claymores, Scimitars, Bastard Swords, Long Swords, Calvary Sabers, shields, and a mix of weapon'n'board/THF/TWF styles, pending an individual centaurs preferences, and there unique physiology to be extremely hard hitting fast moving hit and run melee combatants.

But that's me.

Also, nice Minotaur. =)


Soft Serve: Awesome on the Erinyes and Lillend, love to see what you do with them. =) also, No worries and no rush on the Titan. I'm certain I'll LOVE what ever you do on it, and I have absolutely no problems waiting till you find the time to give it the attention it needs.

Maybe. What are they from/what are they?

[Pokonic]

There from SK, but they where a bit bland. They are tiny, with 1/4 CR. There main ability was to squirt water to blind things. They are also expert swimmers, to.
There basicly Kolbalds IN WATER, but I had a fun game in which about twenty of them where nesting on a old, abandoned ship the PC's where exploring. Cue slippery, rusting floors and a creative use of using there small size to trip the players. The mage had to get healed for tetnus afterwords. Made them realise that they need to prepare before going in such places. Hence my fondness for the pathetic buggers.

Alright. Thanks for bearing with me.

Aaah. Alright. Well, those would certainly be doable, and at least they're better than giant hamsters. From Space.

Nope. There more like shelless, clannish squirtles.
