This is an awesome thread. I'm already having ideas of hordes of howling Feral Goblins and dour Earth Elemental Dwarves. Mmmmm ... Earth Elemental Dwarves ...

But anyway I was hoping (and not to be rude) that you could be a little clearer on the base race and templates used in your critters?

For example, I'm not really sure what the Steamchild was before hand, or what template was applied. Anyway, thanks for the beasites.

Oh, and I use ya'll all the time. Just a little southern hospitality.

Glad I could be of service (you're players are going to hate me).

But anyway I was hoping (and not to be rude) that you could be a little clearer on the base race and templates used in your critters?

That's not rude, I'd want to know too. You can find all that information at the front of the thread including my entire planned list of creature conversions.

Note: I have expanded my list of planned conversions again. I'm also opening the door to other types, as long as the base creature is a humanoid, monstrous humanoid, giant, or an anthropomorphic creation (as per the template in Savage Species).

Thus, Krishnath you can now post your blue minotaur!

For example, I'm not really sure what the Steamchild was before hand, or what template was applied. Anyway, thanks for the beasites.

The steamchild are merfolk with the half-elemental (fire) template added on. A very strange planetouched race. Their aquatic blood has literally been brought to a boil.

Oh, and I use ya'll all the time. Just a little southern hospitality.

Yeah, but I'm Canadian. Ya'll is not in our vocabulary.

[Edited for silly spelling mistakes.]

 

[Caliber]

Doh! And I just passed that HUGE list by.

Yeah, but I'm Canadian. Ya'll is not in our vocabulary.

Shhh. Just don't tell anyone.

You wan't the blue minotaur, eh, well, you see, Gharlocke isn't a templated creature, he is a kick-ass Minotaur NPC Gladiator though...

But don't worry, I will have a brand spanking new template up for this weekend, one that can easily be added to humanoids, giants, dragons, and just about anything else that isn't either incorporeal, an ooze, a plant, or an animal... And trust me, *YOU WILL LIKE IT!*

Anyways, still wan't to see the Blue Minotaur of Medano, even though he does not posess a template?

Later,

Anyways, still wan't to see the Blue Minotaur of Medano, even though he does not posess a template?

Yep, that way I can template it. (Is it a monster race or an actual character?)

It is an NPC character. His name is Gharlocke, just 'cause it rocks!

Imagine it a very big, blue furred minotaur with silver plated horns... I pity the lycanthrope that would mess with Gharlocke...

If you still want him, I'll put him up

Sounds like a cool chracter, but instead of posting him can you send the character to my e-mail address? This blue fur, silver plated horns thing gives me an idea for a new minotaur race (besides the one I already have.)
