[QUOTE="BlackJaw, post: 98173, member: 888"] [REMEBER ANDREW: NO READING] Mindflayers of course. <evil grin> Ok, my setting is a Modern version of a Fantasy World. Guns, Cars, Jet Fighters, Magic & Technology working togeather in massive Government funeded Secret Projects... Oh and this setting is a modernized D&D world, not magic added to our world, which makes a diffrence in a number of ways... I got 160 pages of setting written up for my players (so it doesn't have any hidden parts in it) on the topic. most of it needs to be rewritten and much of it should just get cut out. Anyways, my players are currently 2nd level and just getting into the start of the plot. In which an evil Scientist character is trying to release and an evil entity. Not an evil god, but something worse. It needs no worshipers, and grants no spells, but can destroy worlds. And it wants to destroy ours. I have a whole storyline for it, but the evil scientist does a few things: 1) He's already discovered this evil entity, been driven slightly mad by it, and is under its power. 2) He's learned to use magic-tech portals to open doors to it's alternate and alien realties (call it far realm if you like). The evil entity can not use them yet because its form does not function in our world, but it has broken of parts of itself and sent them through the doors... the PseudoNatural creatures. 3) He's tried to alter his own genetic and magical Aura form to serve as a host form for the entity, but discovered humans are not suitable for it. 4) He's begun using Pseudonatural creatures to look for ways to make a host suitable for the big evil. The little buggers have taken over key officials in the military R&D, and have all the key members of his Xelthir Corp (a military contractor that works in magic-tech designs) under domination. Events that will happen: 1) He will discover the strange magic alterations that happened to an Orc warlord... one that was made into a vampire through a wish spell (from a pit fiend) and then made into a half-fiend vampire (by killing and drinking the blood of that pit-fiend) 2) He will find in the wastes that once was the orc industrial kingdom (blasted into dust by magical nukes) a secret project using Demon-tech to form a Nuclear Powred Cyborg beast. 3) He will gain knowledge of the mutable factors of Elves, especialy the new wood elve nature shaped magic. 4) He will turn a wood elf into a host creature... at first something like a were-kraken, but latter into somethign more like a Godzila... then Cuthulu systle. (at this point the PC will have killed the evil scientist... but his elf subject will continue to transform) I then have plans for it to destroy the world, leaving the PCs the lone survivors, landed in a new prime world. (now at high level in a world where they are the only ones with semi-automatic firearms) Maybe Planescape. They will of course went revenge for the death of their world... and will have a hell of a face off once they get that powerful. Here at second level they already have hints of the evils that Xelthir Corp is willing to do, although they don't know even half of it yet. They are also about to come across their first Puppeteer. They probably won't notice it at first because the nearby wood elves, and Dwarven Barbarian Terrorists, will be too distracting. I intend for the evil scientist to either be an Alienist Cleric (alienist class doesn't specify Arcane magic and is valid as a cleric... The insanity domain with the madness domain maybe?) or a non-spellcaster (just lots of NPC expert levels and some Cthulu d20 like magic/insanity). The Wood elf that will eventualy become the host, is currently an enemy of the PCs (they are about to meet him actualy) and will latter be a competitor. [/QUOTE]
