Bleah, haven't worked on it at all. So many obligations now, but this is a seriously sore point for me so... I'll see what I can do. I also need to make a force-based chromatic dragon.

Oh hey Keterys, check your PM.

I have another request for updated links, or at least reposting the human captain.

Aside: Interesting comparing this to the hobgoblin commander who is the same level - nice perspective to look back on things over 7 months later Its hp was off by 1, so I fixed that - I'd probably drop its init by 1 as well. And put some type of restriction on opportunistic flanker so that two captains don't get infinite attacks (probably 'basic attack as an immediate reaction')

Looking at them - I'd say the Thorn Horror's defenses are about two too low across the board. The Root Lasher just looks a bit weak for 5th level, I'd probably up both its defenses and damage, or decrease its level.

Not enough to break the bank, though.

 

[Rechan]

Thanks, Keterys! I'm running a jungle campaign. These will be useful.

That thing looks like a muppet. Nice stats though.
