No more mechanics (I hope). I get the sense you're bubbling over with description, flavor, and tactics, so feel free to have at it!

Afraid I'm not feeling that bubbly at the moment.

We've got a heatwave over here, and even if I was feeling energetic I'm not feeling any inspiration.

I'd be happy to see someone else have a stab it.

Maybe I'll come up with something in a few days if no one else steps up to bat.

Actually, looking at homebrews, the flavor, etc, seem pretty complete.

The original blazozoid was unable to consider material entities as being intelligent. We should mention that somewhere.

Just in the sentence that talks about viewing them as meals? Like this:

Blazozoids cannot understand that mortal beings are sentient, instead viewing them as potential food sources or, at best, as a means of transport.

I'd change the "mortality", since it's not the fact that they can be killed that determines it, but their materiality.

Blazozoids are the progeny of a huge, living star, which refers to itself as “I”. This entity believes itself to be the only sentient being in the universe, and has formed millions of emissaries from its own body and dispatched them to the far ends of the universe in search of another living star. The blazozoids are these emissaries. Although intelligent, they are completely incapable of altering the basic beliefs that I imprinted upon them at their creation. The blazozoids' creator, I, believes that only living fire creatures like itself can be sapient. Blazozoids are therefore incapable of recognizing intelligence in creatures whose bodies are not made of flame. They view other creatures as potential food sources, hazardous wildlife, or, at best, means of transport.

Works for me. I was just trying to change the original wording.

Updated.

Man, these things are mechanically bloated! I've seen demon princes with less ability writeups.

Finished?

I think so. Couldn't find and mechanical errors or typos after double checking it.

 

[freyar]

Yeah, they took a while too. That's what's happening as we get into the weird monsters. Is "I" next, or is it waiting for the epic thread?
