[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 9227806, member: 2629"] Twas the night before Xmas and ... I just thought I'd ask for some community brainstorming on Nightmarish things to do (before Christmas). I run a PC right now that is an Undead Warlock 1 / Moon Druid 6. The idea was to come to the battlefield with the nightmare versions of animals. Along the way he picked up a magical tattoo that gives him wings (effectively winged boots in a tattoo form) and another magical tattoo that is effectively a bag of holding (which we describe as his pouch - EnWorld fans may guess what adventure I'm being run in). I've been combining all of that to do things like: [LIST] [*]Become a huge (enlarge spell - expanded spell list) bat winged (tattoo) cave bear with rotting flesh, ichor matted fur and a stench of death about it (form of dread) with a deathly cold touch (Armor of Agathys). [*]As a slime infested (form of dread) huhe (enlarge spell) lion - pounch on an enemy (killing it) and then walk away seemingly having disintegrated it (while really shoving the corpse into my bag of holding tattoo pouch - but not letting the other players know that is what I did). [*]Used Form of Dread's fear, Eldritch Blast, and positioning to keep an enemy from leaving their space in a corner ... which was engulfed in flames. [*]Used Meld into Stone to ambush an enemy, shove them in the bag of holding, then merge back into stone ... suffocating them inside my hole (that was entirely flavor - this was a goblin that I would have taken down in one hit). [*]As a Huge Bear with wings I grappled an ogre (Huge Cave bears can carry 1200 lbs, an ogre of 10 feet in height is about 450% heavier than a medium humanoid - which was determined to be within that 1200 limit) and flew up into the sky with it. It stopped attacking when it realized the fall would kill it ... which the fall eventually did even though it did not attack me again. [*]For flair, when I use COnjure Animals the animals also take on my nightmarish appearance (but with no mechanical benefits). [/LIST] What other fun tricks can you think up to be a nightmare animal? Suggestions do not have to be effective, efficient or even wise ... just thematic. I'm not high enough level, but I will be taking Fire Shield, Blight, Polymorph (turn enemy into bite sized morsel - eat whole when a huge bear or gargantuan constrictor snake) ... [/QUOTE]
