Message: <blockquote data-quote="Chaldfont" data-source="post: 2186666" data-attributes="member: 1472">We just restarted an on going campaign that we originally began right before 3.0 came out. The PCs are a ranger-12, druid-10/master of many forms-1/warshaper-1, and a sorcerer-10/dragon disciple-2/lich template class-1. I needed an encounter to start the game out right--with action!This creature was a grizzly bear corrupted by pollution of the PC's archenemy's lab (which just happened to be in their home base which he had taken over). They encountered it while clearing their lands of the villain's undead servitors. I created it mostly to get a reaction from the druid and ranger of the party.Maybe someone else can get some mileage out of it:The Ursine AbominationCORRUPTED, TWO-HEADED DIRE BEARLarge Aberration (augmented animal)Hit Dice: 14d8+101 (164 hp)Initiative: +4Speed: 40 ft.

It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.</blockquote>
