[QUOTE="BOZ, post: 370362, member: 1241"] ok, time for monster #2. :) we know a bit about how this works now, so you'll no doubt benefit from the wisdom of past experience. :) this second monster will be an Large Outsider with 11-13, of Neutral Evil alignment. so, you will describe your idea of what the monster should be, in one or two sentences or otherwise in 40 words or less (please!). i will choose the best 10, in my opinion, and make another poll out of them (the runners up will be the "Other" option). let me explain how you will do this. sorry if this sounds retread, but it does need to be repeated. :) this sentence will be the "concept" for the monster. it's best not to be too detail oriented, as we will detail it as a group. one sentence saying "this thing does this and has this kind of power" is enough. feel free, if you will, to reuse an idea of yours from monster #1. IMPORTANT: Do not name your monster! this will happen later, i promise. :) one obvious excellent example of an NE outsider is the yugoloth/daemon, and sure we could always do another one of them. but isn't this idea about creating [b]new[/b] ideas? as far as evil non-fiend outsiders goes, we have other examples to choose from such as hell hounds, achaierai, night hags, githyanki, rakshasas, nightmares, barghests, xill, abrians, and shadow demons. Some good examples of monster ideas would include the following: "Hell hounds are aggressive, fire-breathing canines of extraplanar origin. ... A hell hound resembles a large, powerfully built dog with short, rust-red or reddish brown fur; its markings , teeth, and tongue are sooty black." or "Ultroloths are the officers in yugoloth armies, leading troops and disrupting enemy plans... An ultroloth is a robed humanoid with an elongated head that is featureless beyond two large eyes that swirl with color." also, make sure to state how many Hit Dice (11, 12, or 13) you think would be appropriate for this evil outsider. get it? got it? goooood! so, when you've got a good one (and please, only one submission per person, unless you're really good and sneaky) you can post it here if you want others to see and comment on it, or just e-mail it to [email]kbozman74@yahoo.com[/email] . if i use your concept, i will make sure to credit you when/if the monster gets posted on this site, or used in some future product or whatnot.
