[QUOTE="Triumph_Fork, post: 7187921, member: 6892365"] So I created a monster... and the player's have not faced it yet. It is of an elite soldier of a new race I made called the Votruk. Basically the concept is: They are highly irradiated juggernauts meant for battle and interrogation alongside many foot soldiers. They use a scythe infused with plasma technology for melee as well as a grenade launcher for ranged attacks. The Elite's are hardy and forceful, but lack cunning and spirit. Note: The Votruk Racial Traits are also included in this stat block. I'm open to suggestions, thanks!
