[QUOTE="The Forsaken One, post: 861591, member: 799"] Heh I just overran my party with suicide critters. The kind that charges you, screams, throws itself onto you and detonates into one purple, green, red and brown haze of volitile bodily fluids. Damage equal to their HD. I kinda templated it but it's weird and not really finished. Can be applied to anything though exept constructs. But the panic of the party is just awsome to behold when they find themselves confronted with suicide creatures... and like they are ever ever gonna dare to enter any dungeon again with arguing for about 3 hours who's gonna take point and peek around the next corner first. :p And offcourse the suicide critters damage does splash damage :D Had one surprise the party and deal alot of damage, the second dropped one and then they picked up and ran like hell. :p It was so cool since they were totally surprised and had no idea to tackle the problem... So Pkitty if you ever want to surprise your players with nasty stuff.. have them be charged by advanced ghouls or something that jump onto or between players and detonate in huge amounts of negative energy. (the joke is that any other undead around get a massive load of temporary hitpoints out of this.) With a good RPing party, especially the panic effect should be great. Surely with more of the bugger's screams and howls echoing down the hallway in front and behind you... and more charging already into the faint aura of light that illuminates everything around you..... But you could make the same out of living creatures exept have them deal acid damage and have them also make a save when they get hit like they were hit by digester spit poison... :D [/QUOTE]
