Tribute to BlackDirge : Mephitic Creatures

Malicene

First Post
I like to read book, mostly in French, but some in English…and one day I found a thread called Metamorphosis from dretch to demonlord. As I’m also found of Demonic/Devilish stories, I start reading it! And I love it!

By the way, I started looking for BlackDirge threads and I liked anything I read from him!

On the other hand I was preparing a Hack and Slash game in a campaign I run for a long time, and I was more than inspired by his delightful Ideas.

So here is my very little contribution:

Spell-Like Abilities: 1/day—soften earth and stone. Caster level 6th.
Change Size (Sp): Once per hour, an earth mephit can magically change its size. This works just like an enlarge person spell, except that the power works only on the earth mephit. This is the equivalent of a 2nd-level spell.

These Corrupted Advanced Earth Mephits come from the Elemental Plane of Earth. Living under the powerful hand of Vizier Quver Nerkt, their master for eternity. These evil corrupted beings lives for destruction of arable land, turning them to salt desert.
They are feared even in their own Plane, as they are known to turn vile almost any earth environment.
An earth mephit is about 7 feet tall and weighs about 160 pounds.
Earth mephits speak Common and Terran.

Damn! Sorry Malicene. I just saw this. Havn't been to the rogue's gallery in a while.

Nice work! I love mephits, even did an NPC profile on an earth mephit a while back named Nithrekel. I am sure the thread's still around here somewhere.

Anyway, glad I could be of some inspiriation and I do appreciate your kind words and continued support of my story hour.

Keep up the good work.
