Oh and a gold star to the first one who figure out what the base monster is. (its not hard)

I'll settle for a Purple star.

(I assume it's "immune to MIND-affecting effects".)

Looks like the mother of all interstellar carrion crawlers, if you ask me...

Awesome creature, too bad I don't run a level 50 game so that I could challenge it... well, actually, at level 50 this creature might be takeable with a group of 4. Once they can get through the DR and deal around 100 points of damage per round (past regeneration) it becomes killable. That said, how would you deal with an opponent that can maintain a distance of 800 ft?

Yeah that whoe CR thing kinda breaks down at high levels. What you're looking at is an advanced paragon psuedonatural purpleworm of legend. The CR works out to around 76 with just the templates, but I thought I nice even 80 would be OK.

Like the God Eater the Writhing Worm is hard to estimate as far as what level it would be approriate for. With all its attacks and Con draining it would be tough to melee, and spells are uselss below Caster Level 68 or so. Hopefully Zero 44 will use it in his game and tell us how it goes.

Do you have any sort of background info for the Cursed Rogue, or is he just a crazy idea I can go wild with?

Yeah, there's some background. However, it's so far in the past that he doesn't remember how he began; he's forgotten his own name. He should have a couple levels of fighter to start with, but other than that I don't know. I can't think what undead template would work, except for the generic undead from AU (which I like). Anyways, I wrote his background when I was young(er) and foolish, and it's basically one massive, writhing cliche, so I shan't repeat it. It shouldn't make any difference.

What's star silver?

 

[Zero44]

Awesome, Dirge. Thanks a lot! I'll definately use that. But it will be a while.

 

[John Q. Mayhem]

In the name of all that is good and holy, BUMP!

 

[ConnorSB]

I'm working, I'm working! its hard to think up unique undead, much less stat him up!

 

[WizarDru]

Well, Seltan had his day, with Hevexia and some of my own creations in tow.

Ugly, ugly fight.

Poor, poor Seltan.

It was rather amusing, though:

Paladin PC: "So how far does this attack reach?"
DM (me): "Abyssal Blast? 1200 feet."
Paladin PC: "....Oh."

To say I find that wildly entertaining criminally understates the case.

Details, details! (on another thread, so as not to hijack this one)
