[QUOTE="the Jester, post: 4119724, member: 1210"] The current encounter I'm working on is taking quite a lot of time and effort. It's a labor of love, though. :) Since 4e is coming so soon, I've decided to start getting crazy about what kind of stuff I use. There are a lot of options in a lot of books that I might not otherwise ever get to. :\ So I'm trying to throw some of them into Beyond Bile Mountain, which (my guess is) will be the last hurrah for epic 3.5 Cydra. (Although, you never know, we might continue it afterwards... I dunno, we'll see, I have a feeling that I'll be swept up by the manic desire to play 4e for quite a while after it comes out.) Anyway, the point is, for the encounter I'm working on, I decided to make four medium-sized monsters (gargoyles, with the bile template slapped on) into epic-level bad guys with class levels. So I'm 3/4 done, and so far we have: [b]GNASH[/B], elite bile gargoyle ranger 4/fighter 1/ravager 10/scorpion heritor 10 [b]TOOTH[/B], elite bile gargoyle sorcerer 6/cleric 1/pale master 20 [b]GORE[/B], elite bile gargoyle binder 14/ur-priest 10 That leaves [b]TEAR[/B], the fourth elite bile gargoyle. I'm giving him 5 levels of survivor (Savage Species 89), and I'd like him to have other, weird, monstrous prestige classes... if I can find one focused on offense, especially on building up natural attacks. Any suggestions for him? Thanks! [/QUOTE]
