[Thread Game] D&D Monsters A-Z

Nycter:

Which makes me wonder: how many different species of Bat-Folk does an RPG need?

 

[Richards]

From the Red Steel campaign, the Omm-Wa:



Yep, they're basically just intelligent manatees. And some of them cast spells.

D&D can be pretty weird.

[Vyvyan Basterd]

I'm pretty sure real manatees are able to cast empathy and disguise self.

The Tempest

by  James T. Fields (1817-1881)


We were crowded in the cabin;
Not a soul would dare to sleep:
It was midnight on the waters,
And a storm was on the deep.

’Tis a fearful thing in winter
To be shattered by the blast,
And to hear the rattling trumpet
Thunder, “Cut away the mast!”

So we shuddered there in silence,
For the stoutest held his breath,
While the hungry sea was roaring,
And the breakers threatened death.

And as thus we sat in darkness,
Each one busy in his prayers,
“We are lost!” the captain shouted,
As he staggered down the stairs.

But his little daughter whispered,
As she took his icy hand,
“Isn’t God upon the ocean,
Just the same as on the land?”

Then we kissed the little maiden,
And we spoke in better cheer;
And we anchored safe in harbor
When the morn was shining clear.

Here comes the Ushemoi:

An ugly but quite effective addition to 4e, they're an intelligent race whose members gain increased strength, speed or arcane power when exposed to different stimuli.

sorry, but that looks like the family foto of a dysfunctional family from hell.
