[QUOTE="Dog Moon, post: 3038736, member: 23023"] [b]The Forgotten[/b] Okay, I got this idea after watching an anime detailing several Japanese Ghost stories. I liked the idea of one of them and thus created the Forgotten. It isn't completely accurate, but I wouldn't expect it to be either. :) I just want you to know that the reason why the Forgotten are all women is because of that show and not because I'm a hormore-driven teenager [I haven't been a teenager for several years. ;)] I'm not entirely sure about the CRs though. I should probably check over those a little more carefully at some point. Also note that these aren't supposed to be solely combat creatures and you will not get as much enjoyment, IMO, if they're just another random encounter. Putting the Curse into effect could easily create an adventure hook if so desired by having one of the Forgotten falling in love with a Human and the PCs are trying to determine why the man is slowly changing. [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]The Forgotten[/COLOR] The appearance of the Forgotten is that of an attractive woman, a perfectly sculpted body with silken hair and eyes of brilliance. The hair of the Forgotten tends to be similar to that of the environment they choose to dwell in and though it has never been proven, legends state that the eyes of a Forgotten are of a shade never seen anywhere else in the world. Despite their forms, the Forgotten choose simple clothes instead of outfits that would enhance their beauty or shape. It is almost as if, to them, they are unaware that mortals may call them beautiful. [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]Legend[/COLOR] Once upon a time, the world was divided perfectly in half. The Gods inhabited half of this world and the Humans inhabited the other. It was forbidden for either the Gods or the Humans to cross the border into the lands of the other. However, the Humans, curious beings as they were, could not stay within their borders forever and eventually found their way into the lands of the Gods. The Gods, however, could not kill their own creations and as things happened, their contact was a peaceful one. This peace lasted for only a short time before their encounters horribly changed each other, their near proximity forcing changes within the bodies of those they came in contact with. Though the Humans alone survived in the end without drastic changes, the Gods themselves were horribly weakened. Though they retained their beauty, they lost the power that they had once controlled. The Forgotten are the remnants of these Gods, broken shells who fear what might happen if they perish and yet they desire to leave this world. They feel anger at what the Humans have done with them, and this vengeance has caused them to drink the souls of the living. Those who absorb enough souls become Forgotten Gods, Forgotten who have become powerful again in their own right, but still far from what they once were. [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]Encounter[/COLOR] The Forgotten, although they are fair combatants as long as they can remain in the air and launch attacks on those below, do not focus on combat. They tend to let the exaggerated stories about them keep most away, though they are occasionally faced with the brave or the foolish. If absolutely forced into combat, they prefer hit and run strategies. They always know the surrounding area well because they rarely travel in the attempt to avoid coming too close with Humans for fear of falling in love. Encounters with the Forgotten can frequently be odd and leave the Human wondering if he had dreamed up the Forgotten. This is because while the Forgotten use their appearance to avoid combat if at all possible, they will shy away from being touched. This can almost be considered as teasing without the obviousness of it. They say few words, choosing to not be verbose without outsiders. The less they know about others, the less chance they have of falling in love and bring ruin upon their kind. [COLOR=DeepSkyBlue]Cursed Aura[/COLOR] Those cursed via the Forgotten's aura slowly become horrible versions of their previous selves and whereas the Forgotten are beautiful, the cursed are not. Each time a person is cursed and their save is failed, their skin twists and thickens, granting a +1 bonus to their Natural Armor class. However, their Charisma decreases by 2, though it can never go below 1 because of this curse. After their Charisma reaches half of it's original number, the lifespan of the cursed creature increases to 4 times that of their natural lifespan. When it reaches 1, they cease aging, and their skin stops warping. [Color=DeepSkyBlue]Removal of the Curse[/Color] Each casting of Remove Curse causes the skin to heal partially, lowering the creature's Natural Armor by 1 and increasing the creature's Charisma by 2. If the curse was brought on by a Forgotten God, then, when the last Remove Curse is cast on the creature to rid the creature fully of the curse, the creature must make a Fortitude save DC (10 + 1/2 the Forgotten Gods HD + Wis modifier + total number of times cursed) or be forever scarred with the character's natural armor increased by +1 and the creature's Charisma reduced by 2. The Forgotten Gods are much more powerful than their lesser kind and their curses are more difficult to remove without permanent damage. [/QUOTE]
