[QUOTE="ParanoydStyle, post: 7592576, member: 6984451"] Oh, thanks everybody for the info! At first for some reason I thought the only response I got was [MENTION=6872597]Volund[/MENTION]'s so the entirety of my initial response was: Weird! I have actually run I2...in [I][URL="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/105066/Splinter?src=hottest_filtered"]SPLINTER[/URL][/I] of all things as part of the playtest for [I][URL="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/177397/Sometimes-Little-Wondrous-Things?src=hottest_filtered"]Sometimes Little Wondrous Things[/URL][/I], [I][URL="https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/184305/Ugly-Things?src=hottest_filtered"]Ugly Things[/URL][/I], and the reworked [I]SPLINTER[/I] core rules. Aulicus was the inspiration for the Baphomet in [I]Ugly Things[/I] because all True Dragons in [I]SPLINTER[/I] are AL 10--which is the equivalent in D&D of CR20+--powerful enough to wipe the floor with the party and too powerful to be working for the Lizard King. All True Dragons in [I]SPLINTER[/I] were ancient by default, so while not a dragon, the dragon-like Baphomet monster was created (even in chromatic flavors if I remember right, which True Dragons don't have in [I]SPLINTER[/I]) to fill the role of the "Young Adult Dragon" slot in the bestiary. IIRC, the PCs killed him with an RPG (rocket-propelled grenade). I'm not against using Aulicus in my unnamed Greyhawk thingy, but I will always remember the [I]SPLINTER[/I] version of him getting killed with a rocket launcher by my PCs. That was a really fun campaign. Probably the most fun I've had running something online, not to mention purely for reasons of playtesting. Please tell me more, if you can. (My recollection of Tomb of the Lizard King is tainted by my thorough [I]SPLINTER[/I]-ification of it but what happened afterwards sounds even more interesting.) [/QUOTE]
