Return of Creature by Poll - The Creature thus Far

[Shade]

Updated with the results of Environment and movement modes polls.

 

[Shade]

The latest polls determined no advancement, slam attacks and (self-)manufactured weapons in coalesced form, and a few more special abilities.

I've updated the stat block above. Start pitching your ideas on bringing all this together.

Expanding my earlier concept:

"[Construct Family] are a race of planar constructs, similar to inevitables, but opposed to those in nearly every way possible. Highly varied in form, tactics and methods, their ultimate goal is spreading chaos - whether by aiding lawbreakers directly, opposing forces of law or - ironically enough - taking law to absurd peaks. [The term 'Infallibles' derives from this - no matter what path they take, they will usually suceed bringing at least some level of chaos.]"

"[Anti-Inevitables] are slightly better-known members of the [Construct Family]. An [Anti-Inevitable] appears as a whirling maelstrom of blades, needles and sharp disks, made up of most, if not all, solid materials in existance. It can, however, coalesce into a slender humanoid shape.
[Anti-Inevitables] are concerned with the written word, especially in legal texts - they often encourage a strict reading of the letter of the law, and call for ever more absurd interpretations that, while obviously out of the spirit of the law, are impossible to refute. In other situations, they may aid deal-breakers directly or influence someone to break a deal. Sometimes, they defend deal-breakers against kolyaruts, who are often seen as their direct counterparts despite the obvious differences."

Very nice!

I figure praxis should tie in with their precise strike and opportunist abilities...they are excellent at displaying skill with their weaponry.

This would incorporate Demiurge's idea from the weaponry thread...

Actually, visual just popped into my head. A gear-lash (effectively slam, but gains disarm and trip bonuses) or four.

...as well as the concept of it creating its own rapiers, etc.

I'm envisioning a high-Dex, Combat Expertise, trip/disarm, Finesse specialist.

I think I may have dropped a sentence there, but I'm not sure what I wanted to add there. I'll simply edit out the fragment.

Me too. Which makes it rather sad that the 'official' version won't be able to advance by class.

Nice flavor-text. I really like the way this is shaping up.

Demiurge out.

You are, of course, allowed to pitch your own concept and name(s). I mean, how else are we going to get a poll for that?

 

[demiurge1138]

I like yours, though! Although it does need a name... which I am uniformly terrible at.

Demiurge out.

Try to grab some out of thin air. That's nearly how I did my two names (though Kestenjar is more of a case of manifesting out of thin air and hitting me on the head ).
