MM II Identity Parade

[RefinedBean]

This is dumb and so are unaligned gold dragons.

Maybe the more venerable good-aligned dragon stuff will come from the next Draconomicon? It seems that for the core MM books, they're focusing on making sure that DMs can run them as enemies if need be.

Here's hoping, I like it when parties can work in tandem with good dragons. Although it's way more fun to work with the evil ones.

Vampire, Pennangalan

HELL YEAH.

Infernal Armor Animus

I believe this is a minion Devil.

I personally have no problem with unaligned metallics. It certainly doesn't stop the PCs from working with them. (But then, I never aliked alignment based on color, either).

What do the Spriggans do? Grow and shrink? What about the Barghests?

I never liked the colour coordination in general. There isn't Gold Dragons, Blue Dragons, etc. There is just Dragons they look whatever and have whatever powers.

I just want to know more about the half elves.
And what each starspawn does.
I can't wait, man.

All the dragons in my campaign are very annoying anyways so I really don't care what alignment they are, they're just buckets of trouble anyway.

Aside: I was working on a version of the Dragon monster that had four degrees of freedom:
- Age
- Environment
- "Color" (elemental affinity)
- "Class" (how does it prefer to fight; in 4e, this would probably be "Role")

It derived many attack benefits from its "color", but most of its spell-likes and some of its defensive features came instead from wherever it chose to roost. Dragons became incarnate preternatural spirits: beings of Elemental power, Fey "viridity", and Mortal (prime material) flesh all rolled into one nasty clawed package.

So you could have a sneaky ice drake living in a swamp, or a terrible fire warrior who terrorized the desert sands.

Maybe I'll drag that out and see if anything can be salvaged for 4e.

Cheers, -- N

From the WotC thread:

Erinyes are states as an embodiment of rage (almost)...and live for battle. If you break a pact with a devil, the Erinyes may be sent to hunt you down...

Excellent work boss! No giant crayfish from the new Village of Hommlet though

A few points:

Yes, there is a tempest wisp. But it is nothing like a will-o-wisp.

Sorry, that list is too long to go through.

Half-elves:
Battle leader level 6
Con-artist Level 7
Baleful Thaumaturge Level 24 (Can give he insane human a run for his money, lol)
The Star sApwn look pretty cool. There are three, level 15, 15, 17. They get some nice abilities when creatures near them spend healing surges. The Herald of Hadar has a blast 5 that prevents the targets hit from spending healing surges or regaining hit points (save ends ) Very nasty creatures all around.

The spriggens don't have all that many special powers, butthey can gain some temp hit points when they reduce a creature to 0 hit points.

The Barghast Savager can use (once an encounter) an at-will or encounter power it has seen used inthat encounter. It gets a flat +7 to hit vs AC and +5 vs other defenses. Nothing about damage though. Bit of an oversight. Maybe you jsut go with its own abilitiy scores? It does not say anything.

Thanks. Disappointing about the Spriggan, but the Barghest sounds cool. I imagine the damage would actually be the PC's damage.

Can the Barghest do this multiple times, just has to emulate different powers, or is it an Encounter power to use someone else's power?

Hey there Dice4Hire!

Thanks for the reply.



Very, very disappointing.

MM1 has almost 50% more epic monsters than MMII.

Still getting the book but that just sucks. Looks like its up to me again.

DDI has 286 epic level monsters listed currently. You might want to subscribe if you really need epic monsters.
