Monster Cultist Prestige Classes?

[dreamthief]

Which monsters would make great basis for Monster Cultist Prestige Classes, like the ones featured in Dragon #300?

Edited to remove the MM restriction.

 

[Darkness]

Dracolich (Monsters of Faerun)!

 

[Claude Raines]

The Aboleth.

 

[Darkness]

The Aboleth.

The Aboleth isn't just in the Monster Manual; it's the very first creature in the Monster Manual!
Anyway, I agree 100% that it would be a very cool creature for this!

(BTW, dreamthief: Are MM2 creatures acceptable?)

 

[dreamthief]

Darkness>
Yeah. Actually why not just choose any monster... Maybe you can give an idea of the special abilities a cultish would have. Aboleth.. hmm..

And I know someone is GOING to say Flumph!

 

[Grim]

Flumph!

 

[Darkness]

MM, too? Okay, then...

From the MM:
Kraken
Nightcrawler
Hydra

(Not many other high-CR monsters there that might fit, or are there...?)

 

[Olive]

naga?

or Yuan-ti. but they kinda already have templates for cultists...

 

[HellHound]

(pardon me for blowing my own horn again here)
(ahem)

In Librum Equitis volume 2[/ur] (a book of 20 prestige classes), I included the Children of the Snake, a prestige class for Yuan-Ti converts.

(sorry, I'll try to keep from pimping my books everywhere I go)
(where is that "iconic pimp" logo of kreynolds' when you need it?)

In a word: Formians.

In more then one word: I envision a Cult that sees Formian Society as the ultimate form of perfect order and wants to emulate the harmony of the Formian Hive. They would join the Hive as Human Conscripts and worship the Queens as goddesses.

This Cult Prestige Class would involve telepathic "Hive Mind" abilities, and culminate in a transformation into a half-formian...
