Original Ability Compilations (contributions welcome!!)

Stalker0 · Apr 16, 2008

This is a sister thread to the original creature contributions. Basically, in this we aren't concerned with putting together a whole monster. Instead, this is about creating new and exciting abilities for monsters to use. Feel free to include as much flavor as you like or simply include the mechanics.

malice
Creature receives +2 to attack rolls against the last creature to attack it.

Root (at-will, minor)
While rooted, the creature is immobilized. It gains a +2 to all defenses, and any forced movement upon the creature is reduced by 2 squares. The creature can unroot itself with a minor action.

Copycat (encounter, immediate reaction)
Triggered after an attack is made.
The creature can make an identical attack from the one just made. Its attack bonus is identical to the original attacker, it does the same damage, and it has the same effect.

Entropic Resistance (encounter, minor)
The creature gains resistance 10 to one of the following types: fire, cold, elec, radiant, necro, poison. The resistance type is randomly determined whenever the creature uses the ability.

Helmet Smash - Immediate reaction to touch attack at will.
<insert monster> has been trained to use a headbutt when opponents come in to launch a touch attack. +2 to attack d4+Str damage.

Volley - Standard, at will, BOW.
<insert monster> has been trained to fire at a faster pace which sacrifices accuracy. One extra bow attack per round at a -4 bonus to all bow attacks.

Strong Finisher - After scoring a critical hit <insert monster> gets combat advantage vs. opponent (save ends) and a +2 damage vs. opponent for rest of encounter as <insert monster> has found the an opening it can continue to exploit.

Running Scared - <insert monster> gets a +2 square movement bonus when moving farther away from opponents for a -2 square movement penalty for moving closer to opponents.

Veins of Vahalla - <insert monster> is favored by the gods, may reroll any one dice roll in combat and take the better value or may force an opponent to reroll any one dice roll <except for saves, or stabalization checks> and take the lesser value.

So, does it really count as a compilation if we have 2+ threads on it? Here

That's the C-r-e-a-t-i-o-n-s compilation which is pretty much anything and very much alive.

Hope this helps keep things together; a'la a compilation
