Castlevania Critters...

Clifford said:

well considering its a full round action to basicaly use a crappy ranged sort of cone of cold. It dosent seem to tough. AS far as feats i would say ability focus Wing blade And Fly by attack.

Right, but being able to kick out 10d6 damage every round at will without limit is very powerful. If you want to keep it at will with no limits per day, in addition to its 7x per day 10d6 lightning bolts and other powerful at-will spell-like abilities, you might want to consider boosting its CR by a high margin.

Medusa heads.

Yeah the petrafacation is temporary from a medusa head in the video game but seeing as how its a dnd conversion it makes more sense to make it perminent.

I'm with you on this one. I looked at the CR 3 Cockatrice in the Monster Manual, and it's about comparable.

Edit: I added in your feat selection.

About the KARASUMAN

Yeah but as a full round action the 10 d 6 isnt all the great when you consider there are cr 15 fiends that get like fireball and cone of cold at will with caster levels putting at 10d6 and they dont even need to use a full round action either. Now true being supernatural they donot get spell resistance agains the feathers. Hmm how dose 7d6 Sound?

Cliff

If what you have for the KARASUMAN is comparable to other CR 15 Outsiders, then there is no need to change the CR. I should have compared it before assuming it was overpowered.

My bad.

Hey its all good.
Should have some new stuff by the weekend.

>=)

I know i said i would have some new stuff by last weekend but real life kicked my butt and stole my lolly pop. However i hih hammer out some stuff and here it is.

A couple new races for your castlevenia pleasure.

Asl always Comments criticisim and praise are all welcome.

These are just crunch section i will come up with more appropreate flava at a later time.

het a little flava test is always good. Your conversion looks pretty true to the material though a bit powerful for my taste. I like the vampire bloodlines those are appropriate.

Thankies! ^_^

I'm actually kinda suprised you didn't find the Vampiric Bloodline feats to be overpowered though as well. Two bonuses to attributes IS pretty huge for a feat, but I tried to make the prerequisities tough to get ya know. ^_~

As for the background of the Vampiric Bloodline feats, ya, they definately fit into da Castlevania story. Believe it or not, Sonia Belmont STILL EXISTED! Sonia Belmont's video game is set on the date 1482! Leon Belmont's game was set in the late 11th Century (which at max only goes up to 1199)! This means that Sonia Belmont still probably is a Belmont and she DID STILL in fact have a child with Alucard (aka introduce vampiric blood into da Belmont bloodline). Pretty cool huh? Here's my take on a couple of Castlevania characters:

(NOTE: THIS IS A WORK IN PROGRESS)

Alucard, Adrian Farenheights Tepes

Alucard: Male Dhampir Fighter 12/Sorcerer 16; CR 28; Medium humanoid (Dhampir); HD 10d10+ plus 18d4+; Init +; Spd 30 ft.; AC (touch , flat-footed ); Base Atk +; Grp +; Atk + melee (d+ plus 1d6 fire plus 1d6 cold plus 2d6 holy/17-20, +5 keen flaming frost holy bastard sword) or + ranged; Full Atk +/+/+/+ melee (d+ plus 1d6 fire plus 1d6 cold plus 2d6 holy/17-20, +5 keen flaming frost holy bastard sword) or +/+ ranged; SA ; SQ ; AL LG; SV Fort +, Ref +, Will +; Str 14, Dex 18, Con 16, Int 14, Wis 14, Cha 18.

I'll try and finish these within da coming week! ^^

good conversion so far. but i think they might be a little high leveled (Well maybe not alucard the dude is almost as hold as the belmont clan its self) I was planning on making a vampire killer P-class ripe with Item crashes and holy powers. Maybe it will inspire you once it is finished.
