As an experiment, I want to try to resurrect BOZ's idea of the Creature by Poll series. If you don't remember them, here is the basic idea:
BOZ set up a number of polls to get the general idea of a monster, such as "Medium-Size Magical Beast of Lawful Evil alignment and 5 - 7 HD." This core concept then was used as a basis for the other posters to build up and post their ideas what it could be such as "a blind monstrous tubeworm".
These concepts form the next poll. The concept with the most votes gets built upon. Two further polls generate an idea for the ability scores and special abilities of the creature. As a team effort, these will form the final creature. Then it is time for the last part (the one where I almost always lose
) - the creature's name. We gather a number of names and, you guessed it, make a poll.
I will largely use BOZ's first series of polls of the basics, so we know a bit about monster #4 already - it will be a small fey of neutral alignment and will have 2 - 4 Hit Dice. Please post a short (40 words or so) description of the concept you would like to see developed, as well as the number of Hit Dice it should have in your opinion. Last time I checked, there was no limit on the numbers of options on a poll, so I guess I'll go with the first 10 to 15 concepts that arrive (if we get that many
).
If this lifts up well enough, I will continue the series, with a couple of tie breakers and a few switches.
So, post your descriptions for a small neutral fey with 2 - 4 HD. While a rather small category, fey range from creatures like dryads to entities like satyrs, the ocean strider or crystal cat. Don't be afraid to go wild.
