[QUOTE="Khisanth the Ancient, post: 4989883, member: 11368"] So what would you expect as an actual release date for the Vampire Bestiary? Also, is the content finalized, and can you tell us the names of any of the creatures within? What does a Bi-sect act like/do (cut people in two?) What power level are they? I can see a continent spanning campaign centered on a single monster. At the beginning the PCs, who are all from some utterly remote village on the back end of nowhere, see their home town destroyed by some unstoppable nightmare. As they pursue it, seeking to test themselves against various foes and train until they can defeat it, they meet villages suffering from a strange corruption of the land caused by the creature's passing. In its footsteps the very earth becomes fouled, and monstrous creatures spawn from its grotesque leavings of slime. These would be the monster's equivalent of germs and mites, but a challenge suited for a lower Heroic Tier party. Later the creature begins to spawn, budding off its offspring, and the PCs must fight those (paragon tier opponents). All the time the creature moves slowly toward civilization. Various cults form around the creature, worshiping it as an agent of the gods sent to destroy decadent civilizations, or as a god in itself, or as an incarnation of raw power. These provide more foes for the PCs obviously. Druids try to protect it and its spawn as a new natural species, including fighting the PCs over it, as well as *other* druids who see it as a threat to the natural order. The god of destruction's angels appear nearby. As it nears a major city the PCs, now high epic tier, must kill the thing in the final battle that will win them death or immortality. Presuming they succeed, the gods offer them a reward (they can now become gods, however that is handled) -- and a new quest. The creature was just the harbinger of a great invasion, and oaths with magical force bind the current gods from fighting against them due to the source of the invasion... [/QUOTE]
