Message: <blockquote data-quote="Set" data-source="post: 4405229" data-attributes="member: 41584">This kinda reminds me of the 'mother of monsters' PrC in Wrath & Rage (for Orc Adepts). To build it into an adventure, the monsters would be a threat, obviously, but also the ritual / Incantation / whatever involved in the process would require certain reagents.  Vast quantities of food, preferably meat, would also be an important component, as Mammy's got to keep her girlish figure.  The 'reagents' required could very well be living beings, preferably sentient, to be sacrificed, their stolen life-forces being used to kickstart unholy 'immaculate conception' within the ogress. The PCs could be involved because of the appearance of monsters, the increasing Ogre raids on both people and livestock (as they need to feed Mammy *and* provide sacrifices, as well as feed themselves normally) or the raids could target other specific materials, such as a hedge wizard or wise woman's shack outside of town being razed for papers and inks and dusts and such, things that Ogres wouldn't generally have any use for (but that ritual circle around Mammy doesn't draw itself, and has to be refreshed each time)... My number one choice for the birthed monsters would be some sort of Gibbering Mouther variant, but using Giant Squid (or Fiendish Giant Squid) stats, replacing aquatic with Amphibious (and granting a land / climb speed), upping Int to 6 and swapping out Ink Jet for a huge racial bonus to Hide checks from chameleonic skin-changes, could also make for a creepy encounter, all tentacles and mouths and slobbering madness.</blockquote>
