Over in the Fan Creations and Houserules forum Camelot has a Request A Homebrew thread and I have my Monster Request/Discussion thread.

Yes as written with a successful stun you will either remove its standard turn or its free action. Either way it is going to get at least one attack every round.

Yes you are right. I think I typically have it as a minor or move action, or change it into an actual attack that deals thunder damage or some such as well having the stun effect.

I don't want to derail the thread but I couldn't disgree more with the above statement. Stun is a very worthwhile status effect. I was actually going to bring up my slight distaste at the the Red Dragons ability to automatically end all Daze, Stun and Dominate effects at the end of its turn...

Here is another simple creature to add to my recent aquatic theme. Blue Razor Fin’s are large grey and brown speckled fish with bright blue wickedly sharp fins and ridges. They are opportunistic predators and scavengers that are usually drawn to a location by the scent of blood. A combat...

When I clicked on the link I was quite excited, when I read the dragon I was quite dissapointed. It's essentially the same (you see what I did there? ;)) with the curious ommission of Frightful Presence. Have things degenerated so far that even dragons cannot have an encounter stun power...

Food that melts into coloured pools when touched, still tastes good if eaten with a spoon. Brightly coloured birds in the trees that suddenly explode in coloured bursts of petals that flutter down to the ground below like butterflies. A doorway that yawns when opened and burps when closed...

You are right of course. I think I was getting a bit carried away there! But hang on, the intention of the power seems to be that the orc gets another action before dying; "Savage Demise". But that is not how this will play out, because all the orc needs to do (in most cases) with his...

OK, so this is where I change my mind. With previous information and description I could put the persons reactions down to unfamiliarity and understand his reported responses and attitude. But questioning the amount of damage he takes from an opponent or saying it is unfair because he can't do...

I like it, even though it is a little bit fiddly. Interestingly from the wording here it can increase the AC of any type of adjacent ally, not just other hobgoblins. Thats pretty amusing and gets a thumbs up from me. The interesting thing here is the Charge Action the orc can take when it is...

Honestly I really wouldn't use that analogy. Chequers and an RPG are completely different and it isn't the type of remark that will help the situation. Again I am going to chip in and look at the situation from the other side of the fence. Most of the posters here seem to just assume the worst...

Right thats it! I'm grabbing a beautiful young actress and climbing up the empire state build, right now. Don't try and stop me. What ever you do don't attack me with planes......

Here is a low paragon tier aquatic creature. Silverbarb Jellyfish are usually found in small shoals in shallow warm oceans or lagoons. They are instinctive pack creatures and are very vulnerable if separated from their shoal for more than a day as their hunting and feeding technique require a...

Some good advice in previous posts, as others have said the first port of call is usually have a discussion about it. You have already done this and it seems to have changed his behaviour, I am not sure if it is for the better, but it shows he is trying to adapt. I am going to come at this...

I'm glad you like it. I think it probably looks a little more complex than it actually is. I tried to design them in a way that removed as much decision making from the DM as possible, treating them like a simple logic sequence. I am not sure what you mean by "a lot harder", but my...

OK the more I think about this sort of encounter the more I am intrigued by it. In the spirit of cooperation I am going to try and develop the ideas suggested by Marli in the original post. Summary of information from original post Controller Creature -has a melee push attack -has a...

hehe, from the vague to the ridiculous! :lol:

Ettins are a stubborn and brutal race. The following example is of a particularly cunning Ettin who was impressed by soldiers he had fought in platmail. After a long period of trial an error he has fashioned himself a bulky but effective suit of ironmail to protect himself in battle. The...

Flying Body Kick Knocking someone prone does not deny them an action at all. It means they should make a move action to stand up, but while they are on the floor they can still take actions and even opportunity attacks. I wouldn't add a stun, not to a level 1 brute. The secondary attack I...

I am very conflicted about this creature, I have written and deleted quite a few responses and still havn't come to a cohesive position. For this reason I will stick to discussing powers: Spin Kick I do like Spin Kick, but in its current state as a standard action it is a very poor choice for...
