Monstrous Heroes: Character Concepts

[Oni]

Ok, so Savage species is going to be coming out soon, and a lot of people are speculating as to what exactly the contents will be. Regardless of exactly what they do I know a lot of you guys out there are really looking forward to this book. So I ask this what character ideas have you guys got filed away just waiting for this book to get into your hands to realize them. What concepts have you got up your sleeves that just have to be monsters to do right? Let's hear what you got.

 

[Xarlen]

Ak'riss- Kobold Wizard.

Drox- Minotaur Archer (I statted this dude for an NPC; an arrangement of skills, a Huge Mighty +7 bow, and levels in DWS is SCARY).

Enikriel- Ghoul rogue.

 

[Buddha the DM]

Hauka - Dragon Psion... That's all I have to say on the matter.

 

[Tonguez]

The Ripper - Ghoul Psi-Warrior/Scorcerer

 

[arwink]

Ghoulish Monk/assasins

And kobold monks, but I've had so little problem with them so far I doubt I'll need a new book for them.

 

[Oni]

Boy a lot of interest in ghouls.

Cobalt - A poor Kobold, born the dullard of the litter, he was always picked on. Despite fairly formidable physical traits (for a Kobold), he had always been easily duped, until the day a wandering stranger passed on to him a gift; psionics. The Mindseed power took hold, deepening his scales to the dark blue he took his name from.

Now he has great powers and intellect, but the edge of his memory hides the beginnings of a sinister plot. What happened to this stranger.... or himself as it now were.... and why had he implanted his mind within Cobalt. Will he chase this stranger to find the cruel truth about his own power, or deny his heritage and forge his own destiny?

That is an incredibly cool idea.

Well, there's always the classical kobold samurai, Shiba Meepo.

Then there is an old villain from my 2E campaign, Gwynneth. She was a human fighter, until she was killed by a ghoul during her first adventure, and continued to haunt the group as an undead monstrosity after that. They never succeeded in laying her to rest (although the group itself was mostly wiped out, in various confrontations with undead, drow, and mongrelmen), so she still haunts the woods of Cormanthor.
