Hope people don't mind the thread necromancy, but I have a couple more monsters to share and would love some feedback. The are both internal parasites residing within a behemoth creature they have entered inside of to slay: Pitching lurker Level 13 Lurker Medium Natural Beast...

Tried out Shargin and the Silverbarb Jellyfish/Blue Razor Fin in my last session in a huge fight along with some critters of my own design. Shargin generally worked very well, I'm not too happy with how Juggernaught of death worked out as he hit a bloodied defender when the count was up to 3...

I'm considering introducing a wise cracking sidekick for my group to interact with. Introducing Austin, the cat sized telepathic scorpion with the devil-may-are attitude! The mechanics would be similar to a beast companion, with Austin having no actions of his own, but any player being able to...

The Jelly fish and spiny blues are great Mesh, they'll be very handy in my ongoing "Tides of Evil" campaign - the PCs are 12 level so its perfect! I'd like you to take a look at my Solo. Previous efforts have been a little disappointing, but I'm hopping this bad-boy will turn out different :)...

I like having back to back encounters, its good for pacing an epic fight. What I don't like is PCs running out of encounter & Dailies and having no options aside from spamming At-Wills. Most recently I just gave everyone back their encounters at the halfwaypoint, along with a free surge for...

If your working on the environment, here are some helpful house rules to inspire you http://www.lavarules.com/

I'll have you know I doubled it's HP and added an action point with a minimum of parental supervision. K, revised version: Shargin, Chosen of Dajobas-Ra Level 15 Elite Brute Large Natural Humanoid XP 2,400 Initiative +11 Senses Perception +11 HP 360...

Thanks Mesh Hong, great stuff. I've attached a couple of pics that were the inspiration for Shargin, to give you an idea of what he looks like. A little guy from MM3 called the maw demon supplied the frame work for this guy, and I guess he had the snapping jaws aura instead of the improved...

My latest effort is the BBEG for the next stage of my campaign: Shargin, the chosen of Dajobas-RA. A Sahuagin infused with the divine energy of his evil Shark god, Shargin has grow to monstrous proportions and is a cunning and brutal adversary. He should provide the impression of being an...

On the first point, a 2 point damaging Aura isn't much of a deterrent, and it's melee doesn't hit fortitude so i'm not convinced the current power suite is fulfilling this aim. A good defender will suck all this up and come back for seconds. An alternative to consider that I think will genuinely...

Immunity to Necrotic seems odd, even for an Angel of Pestillence. how about instead if it takes Necrotic damage it can recharge a power? Withering blast's damage could probably be a bit higher, say 1D10+4 and have the recharge expanded to 5,6. Angelic pesence with sickening Aura is giving this...

My understanding is that it would - in reverse to how resistances would work admittedly. Probably not that big a deal, and maybe a better idea to give a bunch of them necrotic powers to underline the connection. I like the new MMIII method of not giving monsters resistances and instead having...

A few thoughts: For Manscorpion Archer, the roll looks like Artillery and Soldier is just a typo. How about instead of Radiant Vulnerability, they are instead blinded until the start of their next turn if they take Radiant damage. It's worth specifying the Tail Sting is 1/turn, you probably...
