Fleyeder I’ve never made characters before so this is the best I can do I hope it isn’t done in too odd a fashion for other people to understand For those of you who know D&D this was inspired by the picture of the Darkmantle It is a creature as black as the night. It’s origins are almost completely unknown but for those who have rare knowledge they have heard of these. The are first recorded at the time of the trolloc wars. Durring that time land was lost to the blight and in attempts to recover lost cities and homes these beasts of the dark were in countered. They look slightly like a jelly fish but they are blacker than night and have multiple eyes surrounding the top of its head which ends in a point. This point has a sucker ability and it can be used to hold on to a roof so that it hangs from the ceiling like a chandelier. They have many stinging rays that hang down from their fleshy part. Younger ones may have only 4 adults may have as many as 16 although that many is very rare. They fly by flapping their flesh. They now inhabit many of the ruins that live in the blight waiting for anything to come by that they can feed upon. They prefer sentient prey especially for their encompass attack. Size = Med Hit dice = 10d10 + 30 Weave Resistance = 5 Damage Resistance Speed = 15 Fly speed = 40 (average) Saves Fort = 9 Ref = 6 Will = 3 Stats Str: 18 = 4 Dex: 14 = 2 Con: 16 = 3 Int: 4 = -3 Wis: 10 = 0 Chr: 10 = 0 BAB = 8 Reach = 5 Initiative = 6 (dex = 2 improved initiative = 4) Defense = 18 (10+dex 2 +natural armor 6) Weapons Slam BAB = 8 Damage = 1d4+8 Sting BAB = 8 Fort save 20 failure means 1dex point lost per sting. This is temporary and only lasts for 10 minutes. Encompass (must be grabbed already) loses 1 wis per round permanently (curable if you allow stat restoration with a weave in your game) Skills Hide = 21 Listen = 15 Feats and Abilities Poison prick Improved grab Encompass Blind sight Improved initiative Explanation To use improved grab it must hit with slam attack. If it gets hold it can encompass. Encompass involves having grabbed the victim and using it’s arms to force the victims head under its center. From there it will devour part of the essence of that person, their wisdom stat suffers the penalty of this. It has many eyes but they show poor vision. It prefers the dark because in the dark it can see using an inaudible Sonic. (a pc must have knowledge blight to know this) Their ability to see in all conditions is unnerving to people and there may be rumors that this is accomplished with some sort of power (knowledge blight to believe this and higher knowledge blight to know it’s false) They usually travel in groups ranging from 1 – 8. If a group is faced with too few people to feed off of it is possible that they will turn on each other. |

I think this is a pretty cool idea. If you don't
mind, I'm gonna format it right so you can see how it's supposed to be for
future posts. It's not a big deal, it'll just save me time in the end, you
know? What do you mean by "devours their essence?" What's their essence? Their soul? Their energy? And what does it gain? Is it just food for them? This post has been edited by Two Rivers Wolfbrother on Jul 14 2004, 06:59 PM -------------------- This is an old thing, boy. Older than Aes Sedai.

The essence is food for them and they don't really
know what it is, it is the characters wisdom stat for game mechanics.
That's why they prefer sentient prey. |

hmn, I like your Idea, however I do have one problem
with it. you say that it prefers sentient prey due to it draining wisdom, however, if you loook at the stats of a dog: Int:2, Wis 12, Cha 6. as you can see, the average dog is wiser than the average human. if your critter prefers sentient prey due to greater food availability may I suggest it drain either inteligence or charisma? otherwise I like your monster ![]() |

I could argue that I know several dogs that are more
sentient than some of the humans I know... ![]() Know what I mean, Vern. -------------------- It's like the blank stares of a million pairs of

I like and support your point about what stat it
drains. I like the idea of it so I think I will change it to Int (That
seems to make it more frightening too for some reason) Would you be
willing to make that change for your encounters hand book TRW? You should get my other monsters with in a week and I'll try to do them in the 'normal' format. I will need other people to determine challenge rattings because I'm hopeless with that. he he, I created the monster that lives in the lake of Malkier (the place Lan is king of) |
