[QUOTE="Mind of tempest, post: 8505221, member: 7029233"] building a shadowfell monster kataach I am terrible at monster design but I had an idea to make a bunch of mastermind aberrations but for the most gothic plane imaginable as all present ones are a bit unfitting. Influences are both some of the stranger setting’s vampires like those ones with flesh shaping and incorporeal undead They get nastier as they get older and go up in rank they only truly need blood at the two lowest levels past that blood just makes them stronger and nastier Four ranks [LIST] [*]Fledgling [*]Haunter [*]Flesh master [*]Fossil lord [/LIST] Fledglings are dumb but fast and hit hard cr6 monsters with a healing factor who crave blood and can phase through walls Haunters are smarter commanders with necrotic claws, darkness powers, and the ability to hurl a necrotic version of the fireball at people once a day. Flesh masters have the intelligence and wisdom of 15 who use dark blood magic and flesh powers to attack foes. Fossil lords are the full masterminds that are the eldest ones who float around. I am kind of stuck on how to make it and how to flesh them out more thoughts? I got the idea for them whilst watching a witcher lore video on its vampire and thought these seem more like alien horrors than vampires so what if I made an alien horror out of some classic horror monsters? stuff for visuals [IMG width="198px"]https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/Y8QzNk0EOEJh0UDqdV8sR5ctIGoQaLduSdjEU6BlL1iqMoN5eTN8cY_VOlWdey-ACEDeG3fXo1mtOHw_ej-JPnsndATUeQ9JZU4cSovsqmLr1EdRuJQeyQisUnlMpywjGSfQcNMS[/IMG][IMG width="480px"]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/PcGw-BhPmrTY8dQR9xFZq0kmPVvgP8nMHF9ZDm-og4OzHLiQL4CMuxy1cBv8ya2wV1-jRa-HjdhZJNP606Lxror_OmzKl0FaxPoq93l2Cr1fr2qV3n_M-ev733rB9uDac0XxPmAD[/IMG][IMG width="211px"]https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/GWvWtP5eCHAIm1wX033ohiFXg89uGvodk_o_tBBkrPIzZk7PPNa6wB2fLBt-EE1qQWuOUj7w_MBY9gOEevFu-TGV0v9RX4u0aAmwUWLTUPg2-AaH7Uqgus8OgULuJzHA7hgIdV3x[/IMG][IMG width="388px"]https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/MeTglAZiTmZ5J6avjNo_WYovLMmA7Pgv9Mt-XHt36Cw37s2qORnFQTKjt2NHz6my3IcN_D65e-j7_q9qM64pEQBowtSyvE8edcuO9rfUVTK7hA8gX47D3Tum2UGJj-96p03nQsQC[/IMG][ATTACH type="full" width="288px" alt="1641588284853.png"]149553[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full" width="157px" alt="1641588369971.jpeg"]149555[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
