Hi folks.
I am trying to stat up a really low level Cilops from Dark Sun for 5th edition. Those things always freaked me out. It’s going to be summoned into this world via a ritual, a Sister, and six acolytes. This will be the climax for my player’s second adventure. I have a great centipede mini just waiting...
I want it to be truly scary with a psychic attack so that I can then narrate to the players and play with their PC’s worst fears while they are being psychically assaulted by it. I know they would get a kick out of that.
I’m looking at CR1 or 2 at the most. So a young Cilops. How do I make it scary please? I’m thinking of maybe letting it kill an NPC that the players know is tough, to demonstrate this. The PC’s don’t necessarily have to kill it. It might cause destruction in the hamlet before weaving off out of the settlement.
Any ideas? Can anyone help with either the stats or the physical/situational scariness?
Ps. one particular acolyte must stay alive for future plot reasons.
Thanks in advance
