[QUOTE="Serpenteye, post: 1457185, member: 1492"] It was either that or shriekers ;). I would have preferred to make my entire force incorporeal undead and shadowy outsiders, but that's impossible with the current rules so I had to use some filler. Some people use rats or kobold zombies, I use toads. Toads have a strong traditional connection to the arcane, to the darkest and most sinister practices of witchcraft... eh, right... the toad symbolises foulness and degradation and... Anything can be justified. I would have liked to create a new custom-variant of undead. A Broken Soul, a barely sapient incorporeal spirit, completely unable to affect the world of the living in any way, with terrible stats. They would be spiritual remnants of my character's torture victims forced to serve him for all eternity in hellish agony and complete powerlesness. It would be very appropriate, very cinematic. But they would cost too much, so toads it is. [CODE] Broken Soul. Mindless Undead: CR -1,1 Incorporeal: +1,3 1 HD: +0,45 no con no int no str -8 to dex: -0,8 -8 to cha: -0,8 -9 to wis: -0,9 -1,85: CR: 1/7 Cost: ?, >0 [/CODE] Look at Fierari's first post in the ooc-recruitment-thread. CR 4 costs 12 points, not 16. Once again, see the first post. 3 is worth 9, 4 is worth 12. 10,5 is the median. 3,5 is worth 10,5 points. Where do you get your numbers from? No they don't, but that's largely irrelevant, the differences are too small to matter. I included different races for flavour, if I will be required to put any more work into them I'll simply make them all human. Lower level casters can use higher level scrolls, albeit at a risk for mishap. They will have an amazing firepower for a short time, and be able to decimate most armies on their own. With the support of my Shadows I imagine there are not many forces in this game that could stand against them in a pitched battle. [/QUOTE]
