Fiendish Viper Swarm???

[spectre72]

I am working to prepare for my next session of the World's Largest Dungeon in Blackmoor and I am thinking of replacing an encounter with a viper swarm.

Here is my problem....

Is there a template somewhere that I can apply to a viper to create a swarm??

If there is I have missed it.

I can fundge it but if there is a template somewhere already made I would prefer to go with it.

I want to create a situation like in Raiders of the Lost Ark with snakes crawling everywhere.

Can anyone help?

Thanks
Scott

Ooh that would be nasty... I mean, are they going to be dealing out poison?

Why Yes

And just wait until the fiendish stirge swarm

My last session 2 Characters died, but they expect it and they expect the adventure to be HARD....

Yeah I am running the WLD right now, they just beat Longtail (well, he escaped). I love the swarms but they do die rather easily... oh well hopefully I am done with fiendish crap for a while hehehe.

the Creature Swarm templete appears in the Advanced Bestiary by Matthew Serrnet from Green Ronin Publishing.

I thought there was a viper swarm in the Tome of Horrors II, I will check that book when I get home tonight and let you know.

Flock of Foes, a PDF I just reviewed yesterday has a swarm of vipers written up in it. It has a lot of normal creatures from the MM advanced, or with a templates, or classes to create tough new and pretty cool creautres in it.

The Abyssal Campaign (link in my sig) has a fiendish viper swarm, with stat block and everything.

sweet will definetly have to add that to my playing of WLD, (too many fiendish darkmantles, fiendish rat swarms and fiendish dire rats, and fiendish stirges).
