I thought I was going to see the Ropers profiled here, both Stanley and Helen! Imagine my surprise. :oops:

@Ken: Yeah, Stanley didn't seem to enjoy getting undressed nor fooling about! Poor Helen had to beg just to see it on her Birthday! :P
I'm just glad some old people like me got the joke. ;)

These are the people in your fantasy neighborhood.

TAVERN BRAWLER
PL4


OPL: 4; DPL: 4; HP: 0

Abilities 26 + Skills 5 (10 ranks) + Advantages 6 + Powers 0 + Defenses 5 = 42 / 42

Comments: Every good fantasy adventure campaign has some town scenes so I figured I'd drop a few archetypes for NPCs to be used in a standard fantasy town setting. Of course, every good adventure needs a few bar scenes and where would a bar scene be without a bar fight? And you have to have the guy that doesn’t go down as easy as the PCs think he should.

I’ll probably whip up a couple of higher level versions later just to keep any cocky PCs honest.

We will not be displaced!!!

DISPLACER BEAST

OPL: 8; DPL: 8; HP: 0

ABILITIES: STRENGTH 4, STAMINA 5, AGILITY 5, DEXTERITY 0, FIGHTING 6, INTELLECT -3, AWARENESS 2, PRESENCE -1

SKILLS: Athletics 4 (+8), Deception (-1), Insight (+2), Intimidation 6 (+5), Perception 3 (+5), Persuasion (-1), Stealth 3 (+8)

ADVANTAGES: Close Attack (2), Move-by Action

POWERS:
Displacer Beast Size: Growth 3 (+3 Str, +3 Sta, -1 Dodge/Parry, -3 Stealth, +1 Intimidation, Speed +0, +3 Mass; Extra: Innate, Permanent); 7 pts
Thick Hide: Protection 1, Feature 1 (Insulating Fur); 2 pts

COMPLICATIONS:
Disability: Displacer Beasts cannot speak humanoid languages, nor can they use their paws to easily manipulate objects.

Abilities 24 + Skills 8 (16 ranks) + Advantages 3 + Powers 35 + Defenses 7 = 77 / 77

Comments: Replicating the Displacer Beasts’ ability in MnM took me a little while to figure out, at least for how I wanted it to work. Basically, it has partial Concealment that should give its foes -2 on attacks against it, along with some enhanced defenses to make it pretty much a PL9 on defense, but a reasonable PL7-ish on offense. Still a good foe for mid-lower level parties.

Gilthorian

Post by Thorpocalypse »

Image

I've been starting some world building as my motivation to work on my fantasy setting has come back. I originally started out with 5 domains for Gloriant, but as I started looking at other characters and creatures to bring into my setting instead of just D&D stuff, I decided to add in some of the flavor from some of the planes from the Magic the Gathering multiverse. Some of them fit perfectly into unique settings for things I'd like to have in my world, so I'm going to change some of the names to keep things kinda original and have them function as their own domains in the continent of Gloriant.

My main domain has always been Gilthorian, named after my wife's cousin's last name and mine from back when we were co-DM-ing an FTF group some years ago. It's pretty much your basic fantasy setting and where I will be running the greater majority of my playtests, and possibly a real game if I think I have them time. As I add posts for the other domains, I will post a handful of builds that are specific to that setting that will show the feel of that particular setting. And actually, there's a domain in the southernmost part of Gloriant that has quite a similarity to a land that will be showcased in an upcoming Marvel movie. It's ruled by a king who is blessed with the abilities of a white panther... ;)

This picture of Carcasonne is how I picture the capital city of Gilthorian, Kormiant, so just you ignore the highway running next to the castle, and let yourself enjoy the fantasy as I am. :)

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------

GILTHORIAN

Gilthorian is the largest domain in the land of Gloriant and arguably it’s most powerful. King Xander Daellion and his wife, Queen Diiva Olias Daellion are the High King and Queen of the domain of Gilthorian, and in most people’s eyes, the highest royal family of Gloriant. Thanks to the King’s role in ending the last Great War and his legendary adventuring exploits, few dare test him or the military he has created that are led by his handed picked elite force, the X-Knights.

The Royal Hierarchy in Gilthorian is fairly similar to most traditional kingdoms. After the King and Queen, Next in line are their sons, Jaxx and Jacade, and their daughters, Tishana, Alispeth, Danea and Arisema. Most of the outlying cities and townships are overseen by the Olias Family Grand Dukes and Duchesses (too many to name here), or the Barons, who rank just below the Grand Dukes and Duchesses, due their lineage from other great families of Gilthorian.

The domain is home to several large cities including the capital city of Kormiant and the delta cities of Thorgilliath and Alabaster Shoals that have been growing very quickly over the past 10 years. Pretty much all the major trade and resources for the domain outside of agriculture and mining originate from those cities. The outlying settlements in the domain have been slower to repopulate but the domain continues to expand slowly as adventurers and explorers continue to push the domain’s boundaries.

Petrification Ray: Ranged Cumulative Affliction 9 (Resisted by Fortitude; 1st: Dazed and Hindered, 2nd: Defenseless and Immobile, 3rd: Transformed and Unaware; Extra Condition); 1 pt
Fear Ray: Ranged Cumulative Affliction 9 (Resisted/Overcome by Will; 1st: Impaired, 2nd: Disabled, 3rd: Controlled); 1 pt

Telekinetic Ray: Move Object 8; 1 pt
Wounding Ray: Ranged Psychic Damage 9 (Extra: Alternate Resistance [Fortitude]); 1 pt


EQUIPMENT:
NONE

OFFENSE:
Initiative +7
Close Attack +8 [Unarmed +5; Bite+6, Critical 19-20]
Ranged Attack +7
Eye Beams +11 [Disintegration Ray Damage/Weaken +9; Petrification Ray Affliction +9; Fear Ray Affliction +9; Sleep Ray Affliction +9; Slow Ray Affliction +9; Wounding Ray +9; Telekinetic Ray Move Object +8]

DEFENSES:
Dodge +7 [DC17] Parry +8 [DC18]
Toughness +12, Fortitude +8, Will +10 (+12 against Fear Effects)

COMPLICATIONS:
Arrogance: Beholders believe they are the superior creatures of the land will remind others of that at every opportunity.
Disability: Beholders have no hands to easily manipulate objects.
Reputation: About as close to pure evil as you can get.
Rivalry: With other Beholders.
Vulnerable: If the Beholder's Flight is somehow negated, they can only move at Speed -3 [1800 fph; 3 ft per round) on the ground.

Abilities 94 + Skills 9 (18 ranks) + Advantages 6 + Powers 144 + Defenses 9 = 262 / 262

Comments: It originally took me a long time to work up a Beholder. The main reason it took me so long was me waffling about just having the eye beams come from the Beholder, or whether to work up an Eye Stalk Minion set up. For now, I’m going with this non-minion version and giving it 5 HP to use to recover from Extra Effort several times when I want it to take an extra action to send another eye beam at the PCs. If I don’t like how it tests, I’ll go back to the minion set up idea.

Didn't look like we were going to make it for a while there, but at least for a while, we're stocking the shelves like the old days! And in the really old days, this one thing no one ever wanted to run into! Check out this iconic item!

*shudder*

That's all I got for this one...*double shudder*...


BEHOLDER
I couldn't agree more, Beholder scares the living shit out of me since I read the AD&D monster manual so many years ago.
"You're right. Sorry. Holy shit," I breathed, "heckhounds.”

Comments: Man, I have always hated Stirges. If memory serves, I lost a 1st level character to a group once. And even when I haven’t they are always a pain in the ass.

Comments: I’ve always liked Darkmantles. The whole “Is that a stalagmite? Oh, crap!” thing never gets old to me. I probably have them a PL too high, but I've always liked them, despite the beatdowns I've taken from them over the years. They can be very dangerous to a low level group.

And as Prodigyduck once said, at least they're not Piercers. :)

Once I encountered them, I grew to hate them.

103 - Skeletons

Post by Thorpocalypse »

Be honest. Do I look fat?

Bony Body: Protection 1, Impervious Toughness 2; 3 pts

Vulnerable: Skeletons are vulnerable to radiant damage.

Abilities -24 + Skills 0 (0 ranks) + Advantages 4 + Powers 63 + Defenses 2 = 45 / 45

Comments: Skeletons for my setting have the age-old limited immunity to slashing and piercing damage, which I always liked. With that, they can be quite the pain for a lower level party to deal with. I'll be adding some other higher level versions of the bonebags later on.

Here's some Mass Combat for them:
SKELETONS MASS COMBAT

Comments: I can almost always guarantee than when I face a ghoul, I will bomb that Paralyzing Claw save and be useless for 2-3 turns. It’s like death and taxes for my lower level characters.

Oh man- so many classics here. Beholders are of course THE "Iconic D&D Monster"- one that you only see in their stuff, and the stuff inspired by it. Darkmantles are classic "Cloaker/Changeling" things that disguise as regular stuff. Even Stirges are something I remember from that first Monster Manual I read.

I love ghouls. I really like what Pathfinder has done with them, making them more of a social animal and less mindless undead. I think as a DM I've killed more player characters with ghouls than I have with dragons.

That's a pretty solid conversion - I like the little bit of regeneration.
