Hidden Territory
The Secret Village, and the Secret Dojo, Home of the Oni's Eye (Village) PL 1 : IR 1


What would be a respectable PL for the Elemental Terrors? A 9th level maho spell can summon them I believe (Rise, Taint), but I suppose I'd have to pay for them from my own PL? Perhaps Elemental Terror PL 4/IR 0?

 

[Xeriar]

The terror lords are significantly more powerful than their spawn (rise taint and all).

PL 4 for a real terror would probably be appropriate, (and I think Daigotsu and Hoshi should each be PL 4 too). A terror spawn would be more like PL 1.

Note that the real terrors -can- be destroyed. You send the terror of void up against a group of ishiken, it's your fault

 

[Darkwolf]

As the Onisu are all named individuals (even if we don't know all their names) could they be PL 2 each? If so make them in my claims PL 2, please.

Elemental terrors? Are they a single creature, or a place, or what? If they are like an NPC they wouldn't have an IR...

Tell me a little about them if that's ok.

 

[Sollir Furryfoot]

I think I'll let one of the board's rokugan experts handle this, basically there is the original elemental terror, which is very powerful and it spawns lesser elemental terrors which are powerful in their own right, the IR of '3' was a crude way to represent them spawning a single lesser elemental terror in a year Honestly I have no clue to stat them out, but I was thinking I could burn a few of my last PL on one of the original ones or some of the lesser.

 

[Black Omega]

The Elemental Terrors come in three flavors. Lesser Terrors, which run around a CR 3-4. Greater Terrors which are a DR 12. And True Terrors, which serve the Dark Oracles directly and which might weigh in around CR 30. The True Terrors seem primarily to exist simply to produce lesser Terrors, which then level up to Greater Terror status. They also guard Womb of Terror, a volcano near the great Pit of Fu Leng, deep in the Shadowlands which serves as the home of the Dark Oracles. Each True Terror has the power to produce a minimum HD lesser terror every other day.

Actually, thinking on it the True Terros might be more a CR 23 or so. The First Oni weighs in at CR 25 and could probably handle all five True Terrors at once.

Hmm..to be more basic. There is a Elemental Terror for Each Element, Earth, Air, Fire, and Water. The four Dark Oracles even got together to create one for Void as well, since there is not an official Dark Oracle of the Void. Yet.

Since the True Terrors directly serve the Dark Oracles I'm not sure they should be in play, but certainly their offspring can be, and max out at around 36 HD.

 

[Creamsteak]

I'm convinced then,

Sollir, you can claim lesser terrors up to 36 HD (PL 2). They gain 1 PL every 15 HD, so you can claim some of 15-29 HD as PL 1.

The True Terrors are under my control, as are the dark oracles, the oracles, the gods, the dragons, the fortunes, and such.

I also control the Dragon Clan, but in a more "in your face" capacity as a player.

 

[Festy_Dog]

Creamsteak: Could it be possible for me to reduce plus modifier of the artifact mask my PC has to give it special abilities?

eg. Immunity to divinations, user is alerted when being divined by any means and may simply block the divination, provide false information, or simply allow the person to divine the user normally. The mask itself is sentient and always attempts to counter scry given the oppurtunity. This protection can also be granted upon NPC's within the recent vicinity, though it is the user's choice as to what the scrier sees of them as well.

 

[Creamsteak]

of course...

I assume immunity for a single bearer against normal scrying is a +1 equivelent.

Immunity for your entire army would be a +5 or +6 at least...

And Immunity against Sollir's Artifact for a single character would be a +5 or +6.

So immunity against Sollir's Artifact would require a +10 artifact...

Afterall he paid 100 PL for the Oni's Eye.

Which option do YOU want?

 

[Xeriar]

Since the True Terrors directly serve the Dark Oracles I'm not sure they should be in play, but certainly their offspring can be, and max out at around 36 HD.

The true terrors have, on occasion, meddled inside of Rokugan. Oni no Jimen smashed a small Crab town, but that is really all I know of the matter.

They generally don't like to do such things, however, as while they are nigh invulnerable to the blade, their presence is quite obvious to shugenja (the Isawa in Phoenix lands -felt- their creation, for example).

As a general rule, their power is roughly equivelant to the various Oni Lords. The Elemental Terror of Void generally leads the group of them.
