Dwarf Regnant

Can't get enough of this guy, and after a playtest I utterly agree with your thoughts on the firebombs ( I actually replaced them with opportunistic and the aura idea of yours, to great effect). Check it out and let me know if you think it needs any further tweakage.

Anyway, we are putting together our CS MM and I was checking in to see if I could put him in (its non-profit ATM anyway) the proposed format is included for your perusal.

Oh and if you want images of the statblocks I can get them to you.

Thanks for the great effort on this guy and so many others.

 

[keterys]

Absolutely, go for it!

I wanted some tigers for the game I was running, so... a spread of tiger options for ya.

Level 6, 8, and 12 elite skirmishers.

So, like 64 of those. I swear, I have a problem with gaps cause there were like 10 less before I started working on things today - so now I'm up to 280 monsters, but I'm not exactly any closer to done. Ah well, better long term. I already lost my chance to _really_ 'beat the competition' when the pdfs got leaked two weeks early.

Just for fun, and in memory of Dugal MacMithral, Slayer of Ashardalon - one of my 'example monks':

Still wtching this thread Keterys.
Have used several of your monsters in playtests and they went down very well, especially the goblins and the zombies (oh those zombies are nasty ).

I am with you on the tiger....I am running an African setting and found it a little disappointing at the lack of animals in the MM.

So I would LOVE some animals.

In fact my first adventure will be "Dire Spirits" A Nyambe Adventure from Atlas Games. If I amy be so bold I will list some creatures from it that I would like to see you interpretations on =
*Awakened monkeys (wielding weapons [darts, javelins, daggers, slings] - on cover).
*Dire Lion
*Boar
*Leopard
*Small poisonous snakes

[keterys]

Hmm, like Zombies, eh?

Edit: Picasa seems a little flaky on displaying this, so if you don't see a stat block, it's _supposed_ to be here. Of course, you can just look at it in the Brutes pdf linked right below this post.

 

[keterys]

Added a link for an early selection of Brutes - only 21 of the 64 Brutes and somewhat less polished than the artillery batch.

It includes:
Lvl Name
1 Dwarf Wrestler
1 Halfling Barbarian
1 Pyreskull Guardian
2 Frosthammer
3 Orc Savage
4 Enervation Zombie
5 Lavakin
5 Spore Warrior
5 Hobgoblin Battlefist (L)
5 Bloat Devil
6 Bone Lord (Elite)
6 Orc Doomsounder (L)
6 Boneskull
6 Flameborn Reaver
6 Arya Sunlord (Elite)
7 Kerdat Executioner
8 Voracious Maw (Medium)
8 Thorn Horror
8 Kerdat Chieftain (L)
11 Young Indomitable Hydra (Solo)
14 Voracious Maw (Large)

I'm tempted to make the dwarf wrestler level 2, to match the other dwarves a little more closely. I mostly threw it and the halfling in as pseudo monk/barbarian ideas. Anyhow, once again I didn't include the descriptions / pictures. I'll get off my butt on those soon.

 

[keterys]

Minor stat updates and added pictures and a little bit of flavor text to the artillery monsters.

 

[keterys]

The Lurker list is quite a bit shorter than the others at only 17... maybe I should address that. Dunno, I guess I'm just less into Lurkers.

Especially Elite and Solo ones, apparently.
