There isn't an art gallery on the wizards website yet, is there?

haven't seen any support yet on the website... I'm interested to see what they'll do with a web enhancement.

Did you want more than I already posted? Let me know what you want posted from the others. Anything you think they might have changed? You're credited with "additional design" in the credits.

I was just seconding the previous call for info on the half-fey and feytouched. I would be more than happy with your opinion, what you like, don't like, etc.

I really like both of them from what I've specifically looked at. I'm even hoping to get away from work early so I make a fey touched NPC for tnight...

I am however, as I said before, a little confused by the butterfly wings. Whats the deal witht that? I mean, don't only one or two fey have butterfuly wings?

Butterfly wings? Not part of my original design. Was that for the half-fey template? Any mention of the drylarin?

scroll back over the previous page, and you might see my response to Kai Lord

Aw hell, here it is again:

the feytouched are a CR1/2 monster, with some basic fey features (charm, immunity to mind-affecting effects). Just a fairly basic PC capable race (ecl +1, due, i imagine to the charm person)
The half-fey gives special attacks (charm, and other enchantments) by HD, and Dex and Cha bonuses, and a wis subtraction. CR + 1 oh yeah, and butterfly wings. which are cool, but kinda wierd given how few fey have those wings.

Don't remember seeing the drylian, but the books at home. The sample is a half-fey centaur. The piture is a bit odd, to say the least.

It's obvious...

About my previous question about whether or not they reused the art meant for the MM2 for monsters that didn't make it. Did they use these images...

As for the Keepers being like MiBs they used to go after people who discovered secrets they weren't supposed to know (generally when MiBs supposably show up), they don't seem to be exactly humanoid (as MiBs are alledgely aliens or government created clones), and they melt after dying (something I've also heard about MiBs).

 

[Vecna]

What about the Half-Illithid template?
To which type of creatures can it be applied?
Does it make the creature an Illithid?

 

[Bran Blackbyrd]

Not sure, never read much planescape stuff. Ok, the keeper is a nuteral outsider that can mimic weapons, spit poison and comunicate with one another telepathically. Sound similar?

That's it!!!
Wow, Keepers and Caryatid Columns?
Now I don't have to convert them myself. Let's hear it for apathy!
Wait long enough and someone will do it for you. Now I have to go out and buy this book... Damn it...

I'd wait and let someone buy it for me but I haven't the patience for that.

Thanks Olive.

Edit: The Keepers are basically classic examples of M.I.B.s (not like the movies). As far as the Planescape version is concerned, it's like this; The chant is that a member of the Fraternity of Order discovered a way to find new universes just by thinking of them. This, I think you'll agree, was a dangerous and powerful ability. In order to make sure no one knew how to do it but him, the Guvner in question "thought" of a universe where the Keepers existed and brought them back to this universe. He ordered them to make sure no one ever knew how they came to be here. Taking this order to its logical conclusion, they killed him.
By the time they killed him he'd already brought an absolute ton of them over here and gave them various tasks. He was using them to dig up info and to silence anyone who found out things he wanted kept dark.
One has to assume they're still out there carrying out their old orders.
They look human, but they aren't. They have grey skin, no bones, no hair anywhere, no finger or toenails, no knowledge of our ways, and a hive mind. Also, under their dark glasses, they have no eyes, just depressions where the sockets should be. As a result, they creep people the hell out when they show up trying to act normal. If they are captured or lose control of themselves somehow, they will melt into a pile of ooze.
I included them in my homebrew campaign. They're from another plane and they're after a fugitive. They ran into the PCs during this pursuit and saved them from a group of attackers, though this was purely accidental. They'll show up again to cover their tracks, no doubt.
I made them seem as spooky and alien as possible during this encounter. When one of them died and melted (that freaked out the players) I had the whole group of them stop whatever they were doing and emit a high pitched wail for a bit. For a visual, they had a look on their faces like Munch's Scream painting, and sounded like Judge Doom from Roger Rabbit when he was run over by the steamroller, only it was one sustained note. The PCs ran like hell. Hehe.
