Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

[the Jester]

All right, now that the MM2 is out, how 'bout a monkish son- er, sorry, SPAWN- of Kyuss?

How 'bout a troupe of them?

Bronz Dragon, sonic meteor storm? I am SO stealing that! And it will give Nolin something to countersong....

Glad I could help

I personally think energy substitution makes spells (and thus sometimes character levels) a lot harder to suss out until it's too late, much like your 'monster in disguise' RBDM thingy.

For instance, an Acid Lightning Bolt might LOOK like a Melf's Acid Arrow, until you take out the dice.

Just one more way to keep your players guessing!! I believe I am entitled to an evil grin >D

I just thought of this.

Morghs are like freaky ghouls with paralysing tongues. So they sort of fit into the true ghoul thing. The only problem is that they have no ranged atttacks. So....

Take a morgh. Give it enough levels of fighter to qualify for the Lasher prestige class. Make it speciallze in whips, using 1 or 2 nasty evil paralyzing whips that look like part of its weird tongue intestine. Add levels of lasher, and voila! the Nasty Paralyzing Tongue monster skeleton thing!

Named Trixie!

What? No Death Knights?

So from recent comments PC has made, I'm assuming there's a big nasty dragon fight coming up. Let's give 'im some suggestions here! Such as... snatch one of the DoD, teleport away and swallow him whole. If the rest try to teleport to him or scry him out... hm. Sucky place to teleport into, that's for sure!

 

[Greybar]

from the Story Hour -

There’s a faint snapping sound that may be a bone, and Mara realizes that his strength is close to double her own.

And FIVE blows per round, and I'm guessing there's no haste involved here...

Scampering to find the DoD player listings and Mara's strength.

Edit - gulp, Mara has Str20 (+5 mod). Should we hazard Kelharin in the upper thirties with an oh, let's say, +14 or so attack/dmg. Ouch!

So, nasty-nasty lich? What guesseth the roguish gallery?

[Knight Otu]

Death Knight, maybe?

Piratecat did ask for the source of this template some time ago.

As well as for the Tieflings.

So, the Kellharian that made so many problems was not the real Kellharian, and only a trick to get this troublesome undead dwarf out of the way of the White Kingdom?

 

[Ashy]

I think that the dwarvish balenorn idea was a pretty good one... But I'm still scratching my noggin' on it...

 

[Xarlen]

I like the Shadow Dragon/Undead suggestion.

Or, God forbid, a Draco-Lich.

Depends on what Color he's going to use, I guess?

 

[Ashy]

Hurm.... that would account for the massive strength.
