There's another update up, this time a CR 8 beastie using the Souldrinker prestige class, which I was dying to try out. Hope you all enjoy.

(What Mr. E_Danger said.) They are however, proficient with meatshields.

I posted one of my favourite monsters today, a half-fiend bugbear. (It's so much fun to use).

I've helped a player build a wordcaster druid recently. She's quite good, if only for the spontaneous summoning (all of the wordcaster's words, including the 'servitor' words take only a standard action to summon things, which makes it a tad better than the regular summoning of anything that's...

The blog has been updated with a fairly high CR monster today (as part of my cunning plan to stick to the low to mid-level CRs for a few weeks following this). I only realized as I was posting it up that I'd posted two oracles (albeit vastly different ones) in a row. I'll likely be staying away...

I'm awful at accents. Halfway through sentences I forget how to do the accent I'm doing, and then I panic and my players will realize I've forgotten how to do the accent. And then one of my players will try to take over the NPC's dialogue without knowing what the NPC is going to say, so he'll...

Got another one. Macha, Tiefling Monk 8/Fighter 6 Pathfinder The party had been adventuring in a volcanic dungeon and had faced numerous fiery monsters already. They knew they were now approaching the lair of a mature adult red dragon. Macha confidently told the party's sorcerer to not bother...

Some of my favourite waterfalls are the Plitvice, Sutherland, and Niagara falls (in Croatia, New Zealand, and both Canada and the USA respectively). All are picturesque, magnificent, and inspirational in distinctly different ways. Plitvice falls Sutherland falls Niagara falls

The Battery in Newfoundland's St. John's has always struck me as a pretty cool inspiration for a small town. I like the style of buildings on top of each other, or in layers up the side of a natural wall, like a cliff or canyon, with wooden walkways (or metal in more futuristic settings)...

I'm surprised they've only been mentioned once, in passing, but Drow can be good opponents. ...Of course at 1st level you likely won't get an opportunity to use Drider against your PCs, which is a shame. Still, make recurring villains and they'll eventually be strong enough to take one on...

I ordered Pathfinder's Haunting of Harrowstone and Trial of the Beast adventures, i.e. the first two books of the Carrion Crown AP, and I also ordered Pathfinder's Book of the Damned Volume 1, Princes of Darkness (which is about devils) to come with them. I plan to order the full AP and Book of...

Glad you enjoy it. For today's update, I decided to make a spellcaster. CR 6, so it's between the first two monsters in difficulty, though far closer to the weaker end of the scale.

Darn it, why must PCs always be at their best when it would be better to fail? XD

I second bards, though a significant factor in that is that bards are fun to play. Additionally though, multiple bards means multiple performances. Inspire Courage from one, Inspire Greatness from another, Dirge of Doom from a third, Fascination with a sprinkle of suggestion from the fourth...

I've seen an actual AP in which the big bad is a melee fighter, and it was handled fairly well. Jade Regent, Major ending spoilers below:

I'm dying to try a game of WoD, new or old, vampire, werewolf, whatever (actually, changeling is the one that really appeals to me), in which everyone doesn't take everything so seriously to the point of things not being fun. I've played WoD thrice (old vampire, new and old werewolf). So far it...

Hey there. Since I can't put a link in my signature, I figured I'd best do this here, where it's relevant. For those interested I've started working on a Pathfinder "Monster a week" fan blog, posting up my creations for display, and for use by fellow GMs: CR 1/7 (A Pathfinder monster-a-week fan...

How about just plain-old control over time then? If you have the patience, live your whole life in slow motion (i.e. everything moves in slow motion around you, but you move in slow motion as well, so you don't appear to be acting out of the ordinary). You hear the sound of a gunshot, stop time...

V has essentially admitted to having low Con in this strip with the comment of having spent his/her life studying arcane magic rather than jogging, and being frail because of it. I can only assume that the fact that V survives so much abuse is owed to a great deal of luck. Or perhaps that the...

If in a world where everyone's got super powers, copying other powers stands above the rest. If you're the only one with powers my vote goes towards generic shapeshifting (rather than specific shapeshifting, such as into animals only). It's a fun power, and one that can be used fairly...
