I understand the reasoning for making this particular Anima weaker, but according to your own rules here Anima must be at least a 21 HD creature. 20 HD, and then 1 level in suffering fayth.

Yes, you are correct, but since I'm the one making the rules, I can break them.

Seriously though, my reasoning is simple. This monster version of Anima is designed to represent the boss you face in Macalania Temple. This version is significantly weaker than the version you can eventually command. I don't like the logical disconnect required to accept this version either, but for the sake of completeness, here it is, slavishly designed to the best of my ability. I originally attempted to make a compromise version of Anima that could serve as a boss here AND be a worthwhile Aeon, but I discovered that it was practically infeasible. And creature tough enough to serve as a useful Aeon according to my intended power scale would be far too powerful to serve as a fair boss in Macalania: a CR21 creature would most likely TPK a party of characters at the appropriate power level (Macalania is meant to be an ECL12 dungeon).

Heh, according to your own guidelines, Seymour shouldn't be able to summon Anima anyways. He's not an 11th(or 15th for max suffering fayth class) level summoner.

I see the issues it's brought up.

I'd like to ask you this question again. Which of these figures do you think Yevon is most like? Just looking for ideas for a nickname for the summoner and his Aeons.

Davros, John Lumic and the Master.

"Yes... yes. To hold in my hand a capsule that contained such power... to know that life and death on such a scale was my choice. To know that the tiny pressure on my thumb, enough to break the glass, would end everything. Yes - I would do it. That power would set me up above the gods! And through the Daleks, I shall have that power!"
―Davros when asked by the Doctor if he had the power to unleash a deadly viral plague, would he use it.

"This is the age of steel and I am its creator."
―John Lumic converted into Cyber Controller.

"So it came to pass, that the human race fell... and the Earth was no more. And I looked down upon my new dominion, as Master of all, and I thought it... good."
―The Master as Harold Saxon.

I have 2 basic problems with giving you an answer to your question. One is my fault, while the other is not.

1) I know rather little about Dr. Who. I watched a few of the Baker (4th Doctor) episodes back in the day, but when I was growing up, the show only played on PBS in erratic time slots. So I only have a cursory knowledge/interest of the whole Dr. Who mythos, & the above quotes are not giving me insights into the respective characters.

2)
Spoiler


So, to non-answer your question, I don't think any of your examples apply. From what little I know of Dr. Who, all of his nemeses are intelligent foils, full of personality & wit. Yevon is nothing like them, & comparrisons across wildly-different genres & media can be a time-wasting mental trap.

Zeta, the monster list is impressive, but there's no fluff I'm not familiar with the Final Fantasy games (having never been video-gamer) so I'm not sure what some of these critters are. Others I know from having see them in part like the Chocobo, but others I can't seem to find.

Are you going to add some fluff to these or link to a picture perhaps? It would be really helpful (although it's a lot of work).

What's Aqua Fan? I couldn't find anything using google. Do you know of a site which describes these critters or has a picture?

Thanks!

Looking good, Zeta. I'm jealous. :) I need to finish my FF monster compendium someday. /sigh

Thanks, Devin. I went back and looked at the rest of the site: www.ffcompendium.com. It has many of creatures on its site with pictures with a short blurb. For a non-player of the FFX game, such as myself, just having that little bit of information fills in some of the gaps.

Zeta, after looking at the pictures and reading the blurbs, I am even more impressed by how well you stayed true to the creatures while converting them to d20. It can't have been easy.

I just have one question: under some of the monsters you have a line "Norma/Rare Steal: X/Y" and I'm not exactly sure how that works. Is it a mechanic that you described earlier and I missed it?

Thank you for your praise. That's the kind of encouragement that I need to keep going on this monumental project. It hasn't been easy, but it has been very rewarding, & I hope that once I'm done, I can look back & be proud of this accomplishment, small though it might seem. I hope to add links to each monster eventually. As it is, I'm adding pictures to the monster entries, if their good ones.

The rule for normal/rare steals is listed under the Steal & Mug class feature entries for the Bandit class, & well as breifly mentioned in the Master Thief special armor ability. I've added links in both places; I'll agree that the rules are a tad obscure.

Hah, I didn't even look at the rest of the site. I guess I was more helpful than I thought.

Actually having some written descriptions is very helpful. You don't need to write much but even a couple of sentences helps.

Actually, I was hoping a fellow FFX fan or other bene samaritani would contribute some descriptive text out of the goodness of their heart. I need monster fluff, as well as more fluff for the locations. Anyone wanna help? It's only 200+ monsters & 20+ locations.

Please?
