They're back: Return of the Slivers. [Updated 24/8-2005: Beware the Overlord!]

[Krishnath]

These guys are turning out great! Keep 'em coming.

I fully intend to, every four days. There are a lot of them you know...

After Yahooing slivers, I am now fully aware of this.

whats the link for your old sliver conversions?

I really like these guys, but I do have one issue. The metallic sliver should probably be CR 2. They just have too many hit points for a CR 1, IMO. That kind of staying power can equal a dead low-level party, especially if they're boosted by a few other slivers...

Demiurge out.

Demiurge: You know what, I think you're right. I'll go update it's CR.

Muscle Slivers are very different from other slivers in appearance, standing almost 6’ tall, their hulking bodies covered in powerful muscles. Unlike other slivers they are legged and thus lack the characteristic tentacle ‘tails’ that other slivers possess, in addition they have two arms, that each end in powerful and dexterous three-fingered hands, each finger ending in a powerful claw. The skin of the muscle sliver is usually a dull or sandy brown.

Combat:
Muscle slivers enter combat swinging their mighty claws, ignoring all damage until either they or their prey are dead.
Shared Ability (Ex): All slivers within 60’ of a muscle sliver gets bigger, tougher and stronger, growing a couple of inches and getting a +2 bonus to their Strength and Constitution scores. Increasing their hp, attack modifiers and damage.

Comments are appreciated, as is constructive criticism. Baring any unforseen hidrances, I'll post the Talon Sliver on the 28th.

Edit: Fixed the CR.

Patience definetely is a virtue. And mine has just paid off. Love the muscle sliver.

 

[demiurge1138]

The Muscle Sliver is another one I might consider increasing to CR 2. Also, could you update the thread title to reflect the new sliver? Not everyone might know there's a new one up.

Demiurge out.

Now that you mention it, I probably should increase the CR of all the slivers to 2...And done (thread title)

Frukathka: I am glad you like them.
