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

[Angel Tarragon]

bump. Don't want to lose this.

Why don't Crypt Slivers have a shared ability, since the card does? "All Slivers within 60' are not succeptable to Critical Hits, etc." This would reflect the Crypt Sliver's regeneration ability.

I threw a few of them against a 17th level party and the slivers got massacred. Even though they get nasty they don't have a lot of hit dice and you have to have a ridicoulous amount to incease their AC or hp high enough to be a danger.

But...they come in *swarms*...a few doesn't count.

 

[Voila!]

Oh come on Krishnath! It's been three weeks now, where are you and the slivers?

 

[BOZ]

Because I allready have a sliver that grants a regeneration like ability, and the Crypt slivers card is to similar to the clot slivers. Ih, and because it is undead.

LankyOgreBaggyPants: Well, you will change your mind when the specialists start showing up.

Viola: DON'T PANIC! I'll start posting slivers again on monday, and then I will post slivers every two days until I have made up for the lost time, after which I will go back to posting a sliver every four days. I've just been busy, that's all, and I really hate going to the dentist.

No comments? I am starting to feel rejected here...

still reading!!! ... and they're looking as good as they did when you first did them! ... how hard or annoying was the transition to 3.5?


edit: 33?? wow, all I remember about the 3.0 versions is that more and more just kept coming.

you'd almost need an a seperate program to keep them straight in combat.

Not very.

Well, see, when I was making the 3.0 versions, wotc decided to release a magic set that included 15 new slivers, and then they added another in the set after that. Could be worse though, I could be making MTG:dragons, one or more of those show up in each block, and dragons are a lot of work to do.

(New sliver forthcoming shortly.)

Presenting, the mistform sliver, imagine the surprised look on your players faces when the kobolds they attacked shapeshift to these babies.

‘I managed to combine a sliver with the shapeshifting powers of a doppleganger today. And I must say that the results are astounding. Not only can the sliver alter its form to any type of creature it has seen, but it has also grown in intellect. The subject tried to escape a little while ago, but despite having changed shape to resemble my minions, I was quickly able to look through the deception. I am sure my patron will be pleased with the results.’ – Lanariel Shadowwing, Research Notes.

Mistform Slivers are slivers with shapeshifting powers, allowing them to alter their shape to that of any creature they have encountered, although their size does not change.
A mistform sliver is a roughly 5’9’’ long sliver of a very pale pink color. When the sliver changes form, small wisps of mist escape from its body.
Mistform Slivers are usually used as spies or recognizance troops by the sliver hives.

Combat:
Mistform Slivers are one of the least aggressive of all slivers, but will still fight to the best of their abilities if ordered to do so. Often using their shapeshifting ability to get the upper hand.
Alternate Form (Su): A mistform sliver is able to take the shape of any creature type it has met, although its size does not change. It gains access to all the extraordinary abilities of the creature it mimics, but loses said abilities when it returns to it’s original shape or changes to another form. Changing form is a standard action and the sliver can remain in the chosen form for as long as it likes.
Shared Abilities (Ex): All slivers within 60’ of the mistform sliver gains access to its alternate form ability as though they possessed it themselves. But if the sliver leaves the affected area in an alternate form, it automatically reverts to its original form.

Comments and critique is appreciated.
