Howdy. I'm the director in charge of War of the Burning Sky, and we've decided that we aren't using enough cool monsters. The majority of the foes so far have been humanoids, and while I intend to continue to have people be the primary antagonists because I think it makes for more compelling adventures, I definitely want the villains to have interesting monstrous allies.
This thread has spoilers for WotBS. If you're playing it, this won't ruin much, but you might want to still avoid it.
I'd like suggestions for OGC or custom-made monsters we could use for future adventures. The next adventure is already almost done, though I could use a bit of help. However, for adventures 6 through 12, I would love to pick the brains of the folks here for one or two monsters.
Adventure 5 (intended for 9th level parties) is air-themed, showcasing a villain who creates his own monsters. This same villain shows up in adventure 11 (intended for level 17+ parties), so I definitely hope to use some OGC monsters for this guy. He doesn't like hideous creatures, instead prefering things like chimeras, minotaurs, and such -- things that look like a merging of existing creatures. However he also is an air mage, and is creating a giant airship that looks like a shark, and one of the monsters we plan to use for adventure 5 is a mixture of an air elemental and a minotaur.
Adventure 6 has lots of corporeal flaming undead, and will showcase the blood-animated skeleton of a gold dragon. Party level 11.
Adventure 7 has incorporeal undead, like a ghost dire wolf pack, as well as some demons that are complicated and really tied to the plot. Party level 13.
Adventure 8 has winter-themed foes, and an underground fortress which I want to have be guarded by things other than just soldiers. Party level 15.
Adventure 9 is crazygonuts. If you have any ideas for cool monsters, throw them this way. Party level 17.
I would love some help. If you could, post the name and gist of a given creature, its CR, and where it's from. Thanks in advance.
