You might find something here that you could use. 1: Rage Creeper – level 5 Brute2: Drag Vine – level 5 lurker3: White Orchid Painbloom – level 5 elite artillery4: Fungal Grazer – level 6 soldier5: Fungal Grazer Alpha Male – level 8 brute6: Fungal Insect Swarm – level 3 skirmisher (swarm) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 1: Rage CreeperRage creepers look like dense patches of plant matter, they typically roll into a surprisingly heavy ball shape made up of vine like tendrils and writhe and slam opponents. They are particularly nasty when cornered. Rage Creeper Level 5 BruteMedium Fey beast (plant) XP 200 Initiative +4 Senses Perception +2; blindsightHP 76; Bloodied 38 see Bloodied RageAC 17; Fortitude 19, Reflex 16, Will 15Immune fear, poison; Vulnerable 5 fireSpeed 5, Climb 5 [FONT=D&D 4e icons]M[/FONT]Creeper Slam (standard; at-will)Attack +8 vs. AC; 1d10+5 damage [FONT=D&D 4e icons]m[/FONT]Heavy Slam (standard; at-will)Attack +8 vs. AC; 2d8+5 damage; on hit secondary attack +6 vs. Fortitude; on hit the target is pushed 2 squares and knocked prone Reactive to Danger (immediate reaction, When Creeper takes damage)When Damaged Rage Creeper may shift 1 square; if it takes fire damage it may shift 2 squares and make a free Creeper Slam attack if possible Bloodied RageWhen bloodied Rage Creeper gains a +2 bonus to all attacks Alignment Unaligned Skills Endurance +10Str 20 (+7) Dex 14 (+4) Wis 10 (+2)Con 16 (+5) Int 8 (+1) Cha 3 (-2) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 2: Drag VineDrag vines lie in wait for their victims to get close to them, then attack with lashing vines hoping to grab as many targets as possible, when they have dragged a number of targets close enough they release spores to hopefully render their victims unconscious so that they can rake them to death. Drag Vine Level 5 LurkerMedium fey beast (plant) XP 200 Initiative +7 Senses Perception +15; blindsightHP 46; Bloodied 23AC 19; Fortitude 16, Reflex 18, Will 16Immune fear, poison; Vulnerable 5 coldSpeed 4, Climb 4 [FONT=D&D 4e icons]M[/FONT]Thorn Rake (standard; at-will)Attack +10 vs. AC; 1d6+5 damage; on hit target takes 2 ongoing Poison damage (save ends) [FONT=D&D 4e icons]m[/FONT]Drag them in (minor; at-will) (ONLY grabbed target)Attack +8 vs. Fortitude; 1d4+2 damage; on hit target is pulled 4 squares; on miss target is pulled 1 square [FONT=D&D 4e icons]r[/FONT]Lashing Vines (standard; recharge [FONT=D&D 4e icons]456[/FONT])Ranged 6; attack +6 vs. Reflex; 1d8+5 damage; Drag Vine makes up to 4 attacks (each attack must be a different target); on hit target is grabbed and takes 2 ongoing poison damage (whilst grabbed); escape Athletics DC 16, Acrobatics DC 18 [FONT=D&D 4e icons]c[/FONT]Spore Release (standard; encounter) ● PoisonBurst 2; attack +6 vs. Fortitude; 2d8+2 poison damage; on hit target is weakened (save ends, +2 bonus to save); first failed save target falls unconscious for 1d6 rounds (a heal check DC15 as a standard action will bring an adjacent character round) Alignment Unaligned Skills Perception +15, Stealth +12Str 14 (+4) Dex 20 (+7) Wis 16 (+5)Con 10 (+2) Int 10 (+2) Cha 3 (-2) NOTE:My players had a couple of encounters that included pairs of these guys, I really liked them. My players hated them; mind you one of them did manage to make 3 PCs unconscious. The Spore Release one save and become unconscious may be a bit nasty but I still don’t think it is unbalanced, and there is a +2 bonus to the save which increases the odds of success.They were designed to use Lashing Vines to drag people in then use Spore Release, however in practice they always seemed to just move up the PCs and then use Spore Release. This is probably just another example of practical implementation vs. design intent. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 3: White Orchid PainbloomThe White Orchid Painbloom is a large and beautiful flower on a single thick stem, sometimes reaching up to 10ft high. Its base is a mass of woody roots and thick greasy leaves. The Orchid will hold its action point in reserve for when it needs it, namely when enemies get too close, or if it can get 4 people with 2 jets of acid. White Orchid Painbloom Level 5 Elite ArtilleryLarge fey beast (plant) XP 400 Initiative +7 Senses Perception +2; blindsightAcidic Haze (Acid) aura 2; Enemies entering or starting their turn in the aura take 3 acid damage; (When Bloodied aura increases to 5 size and 5 damage)HP 100; Bloodied 50 (see Acidic Haze)AC 19; Fortitude 18, Reflex 21, Will 15Immune fear, poison; Resist 10 radiant; 10 acid Vulnerable 5 necroticSaving Throws +2Speed 4, Climb 2Action Points 1 [FONT=D&D 4e icons]M[/FONT]Leaf Slap (standard; at-will)Attack +10 vs. AC; 1d8 damage [FONT=D&D 4e icons]R[/FONT]Acid Glob (standard; at-will) ● AcidRange 10/20; attack +12 vs. AC; 1d10+5 acid damage [FONT=D&D 4e icons]r[/FONT]Jet of Acid (standard; at-will) ● AcidRange 6/12; attack +12 vs. AC; 1d12+5 acid damage; 2 attacks different targets, targets must be within 3 squares of each other [FONT=D&D 4e icons]r[/FONT]Stinging Acid Glob (standard; at-will) ● AcidRanged 10/20; attack +12 vs. AC; 1d10+5 acid damage; target takes 5 ongoing acid damage (save ends) [FONT=D&D 4e icons]a[/FONT]Blinding Glob of Acid (standard; recharge [FONT=D&D 4e icons]6[/FONT]) ● AcidArea burst 2 within 8; attack +8 vs. Reflex; 2d6+5 acid damage; on hit target is blinded (save ends) [FONT=D&D 4e icons]a[/FONT]Sticky Squirt (standard; encounter) (zone – lasts as long as encounter or 5 mins)Area burst 2 within 15; covers an area with a sticky acidic gooey compound; considered difficult terrain for non-plants; any enemy attempting to leave a sticky square must make either a DC 10 athletics or a DC 12 acrobatics check; failure negates movement and ends the action. Alignment UnalignedStr 10 (+2) Dex 20 (+7) Wis 10 (+2)Con 14 (+4) Int 12 (+3) Cha 3 (-2) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 4: Fungal GrazerFungal Grazers are similar to bulbous white/grey cows with wide stubby legs. Their round head ends in a thick bunch of tentacles which it feeds through. Fungal Grazer Level 6 SoldierLarge fey beast (plant) XP 250 Initiative +5 Senses Perception +10; darkvisionHP 70; Bloodied 35AC 22; Fortitude 18, Reflex 15, Will 15Immune poison, charm, disease, sleepSpeed 5 [FONT=D&D 4e icons]M[/FONT]Head Slam (standard; at-will)Attack +13 vs. AC; 1d10+4 damage [FONT=D&D 4e icons]m[/FONT]Charging Slam (standard; at-will) (ONLY as a charge attack)Attack +14 vs. AC; 2d8+4 damage; on hit target is pushed 2 squares; secondary attack +6 vs Reflex; on hit target is knocked prone [FONT=D&D 4e icons]m[/FONT]Face Tentacles (standard; encounter) ● Acid+10 vs. Fortitude; 3d6+4 acid damage; on hit target is stunned until the end of the Grazers next turn and takes 3 ongoing acid damage (save ends) Alignment Unaligned Skills Endurance +10, Perception +10Str 18 (+8) Dex 15 (+5) Wis 14 (+5)Con 14 (+5) Int 8 (+2) Cha 5 (+0) NOTE:I have toned Face Tentacles down slightly from experience, this was originally a recharge 6 power. During play it became instantly apparent that it should be an encounter power.I would also advise against using too many Grazers in the same encounter, or at least watching the Face Tentacles alpha strike. I had an encounter with 5 of these and 5 lots of 3d6+4 damage is maybe a bit harsh. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 5: Fungal Grazer Alpha MaleThe Slightly larger herd leader of the Fungal Grazers, they have broader front feet and wider shoulders than the standard Grazer, though their face tentacles are shorter. Alphas are very aggressive. Alpha Fungal Grazer Level 8 BruteLarge fey beast (plant) XP 350 Initiative +6 Senses Perception +11; darkvisionHP 106; Bloodied 53 (see Howl of Despair)AC 20; Fortitude 21, Reflex 19, Will 18Immune poison, charm, disease, sleepSpeed 5 [FONT=D&D 4e icons]M[/FONT]Head Slam (standard; at-will)Attack +11 vs. AC; 2d6+5 damage [FONT=D&D 4e icons]m[/FONT]Charging Head Slam (standard; at-will) (ONLY as a charge attack)Attack +12 vs. AC; 2d10+5 damage; on hit target is pushed 2 squares; secondary attack +8 vs. Reflex; on hit target is knocked prone [FONT=D&D 4e icons]m[/FONT]Stomping Feet (standard; at-will)2 attacks; attack +10 vs. AC; 1d8+5 damage; Grazer rears up and attacks with its front hooves [FONT=D&D 4e icons]c[/FONT]Gout of Acid (standard; recharge [FONT=D&D 4e icons]6[/FONT]) ● AcidClose blast 3; attack +8 vs. Reflex; 3d8 + 5 acid damage; on hit target takes 3 ongoing acid damage (save ends) [FONT=D&D 4e icons]c[/FONT]Howl of Despair (immediate reaction, When first bloodied; ) ● FearBurst 3; attack +7 vs. Will; on hit target is pushed 3 squares and immobilised (save ends) Alignment Unaligned Skills Endurance +12, Perception +11Str 20 (+9) Dex 15 (+6) Wis 14 (+6)Con 16 (+7) Int 10 (+4) Cha 6 (+2) ----------------------------------------------------------------------- 6: Fungal Insect SwarmFungal insect swarms live on and around other plant creatures, they are made up of thousands of tiny biting and stinging crawling and buzzing creatures. They have evolved to mimic the spore release of the plants they feed on. Fungal Insect Swarm Level 3 SkirmisherMedium fey beast (insect swarm) XP 150 Initiative +4 Senses Perception +0; darkvisionSwarm Attack aura 1; the swarm makes a basic attack as a free action against each enemy that begins its turn in the aura.HP 42; Bloodied 21 (Swarm takes half damage from melee & ranged attacks)AC 17; Fortitude 15, Reflex 15, Will 15Immune charm, sleep; Vulnerable 5 fire, 10 Close and Area AttacksSpeed 6 [FONT=D&D 4e icons]M[/FONT]A Thousand Bites (standard; at-will)Attack +8 vs. AC; 1d6+2 damage [FONT=D&D 4e icons]c[/FONT]Poison Spore Cloud (standard; recharge [FONT=D&D 4e icons]56[/FONT]) ● PoisonBurst 2; attack +5 vs. Fortitude; 1d10+3 poison damage; on hit target takes a penalty of -1 to all defences (save ends) Tide of Insects (move; at-will)Fungal Insect Swarm can shift 3 squares as a move action Alignment Unaligned Skills Endurance +6, Stealth +9Str 14 (+3) Dex 16 (+4) Wis 8 (+0)Con 10 (+1) Int 6 (-1) Cha 3 (-3)</blockquote>
