Creature by Poll #6 - Vermin Special Abilities

[Knight Otu]

Here are now the polls for deciding a number of abilities for the winning vermin. As a reminder, here is the concept:

An Island sized Jelly fish - transparent (huge hide bonus) except for a few purple viens and its mile long stinging tentacles. This creature floats across the oceans drifting on the current and wind and is often surrounded by swarms of smaller jelly fish that somehow link together in a single hivemind... (23 HD, Neutral)

This is the special powers poll. You can vote for multiple abilities.

I went for Psionics. It would be way cool if it had Psionic abilities

 

[Krishnath]

I think it would be cool if it dealt additional electricity damage with it physical attack forms.

Shocking Grasp would be excellent. Yet, I read the part of it gathering other Jellyfish around it like a Hivemind, then it would be fitting for it to have Psionics. Doesn't mean it cant be a shocker still

If it should be like regular Jellyfish, the tiny tentacles should be so small and numerous that it would be virtually impossible to sever them (inflicting semi-automatic damage to all within some large area, reflex save for none).

I like the idea of it spawning a swarm of jellyfish- maybe spitting them out of its big umbrella-like top part (I'm sure that these things have names, but beats me what they'd be). Maybe a swarm of bloodbloater oozes (from the FF) or at least jellyfish that have bloodbloater stats...?

I also like the idea of it secreting a paralytic fluid into the water around it. And how about tentacles that trail out to give it a reach of a mile? (This thing is island sized, after all...)

 

[Khisanth the Ancient]

Tentacles shoould be poisonous (1d4 Con./1d4 Con. perhaps?) and maybe deal 1 Point of Str Drain too. Area attack: maybe a venom spray for 3d6 poison damage.

 

[BOZ]

poisoned tentacles? we did that already.

 

[Knight Otu]

That's no reason not to repeat it.

 

[Knight Otu]

I'd guess we won't see much more votes on this. Poll officially closed!

 

[Krishnath]

Dammit! I want an electric jellyfish.
