[QUOTE="Evil Gnome, post: 310670, member: 6598"] and that can get crits on them right? Well, the order of the day for spookiness seems to be children at one point or another. how about some sort of shambling rotting monster with cords that hang about a foot bown from his arms and back, attached to each is the head of a small child. These "children" speak, and suck in that breathy, creepy, childs voice. They can give the monster some singing abilities nursey rimes=sleep begin calling out not to hurt them, please save them = charm call out random things, like each questioning the same hero=confusion The possibilities are nigh endless or you could make a "spire" of childrens heads, with the same singing abilities, but have hidden 12' necks so when someone gets close they are surrounded by these pleading childrens faces, and then possibly bitten. rely on things people are already afriad of to make it more creepy. Spiders are a good bet usually, if you know what some character, or player goes to pieces over you could incorporate it. eg; If velendo is afraid of insects, throw in a formorian colony that has sided with the ghouls, and maybe put some ants (big ones(not real, they're to hard to position)) on the battle mat. --just my thoughts [/QUOTE]
