Clearly, ENWorlders must take it upon themselves to write an adventure featuring our beloved Marilith Dervish, so that others might see the mistake they made.


Tarrasque. Humph.

 

[Anti-Sean]

Voting for the lich this week. Warforged are lame.

*gasps and swoons, settling into a nearby chaise lounge to avoid a fainting spell*

Sheer, unadulterated balderdash! Warforged make me tingly all over. Born of eldritch magic beyond the ken of their creators for the sole purpose of war, they are cast adrift searching for the meaning of their existence now that a shaky peace has been established. Ohhh, the sheer depth and scope of the angsty, angtsy roleplaying potential inherent in each warforged makes me quiver audibly.The whiny angst of ten thousand Drizzizzizzizzitseses cannot compare to the potential for over the top melodrama and scenery chewing that a single 'forged represents. Plus, each of them is filled with a delicious, creamy nougat center. Man, I loves me some warforged!

If it was any old lich, it might get my vote. But noooo, they had to make it a drow. A *drow*! Boooooring! Overhyped, overused, done to death. Bleh. But ooooh, look! The phylactery is not just an Iron Golem, but an Iron Golem shaped like a *spider*, for extra drow-y goodness! *yawn*

Facts:
1. Warforged Ninjas are Living Constructs.
2. Warforged Ninjas fight ALL the time.
3. The purpose of the Warforged Ninja is to flip out and kill people.

He'd totally uppercut the big baby drow lich just for opening a window.

Demons are a dime a dozen. A marilith dervish...whee. She has six arms and cuts things, nothing we haven't seen every single time there's been a marilith. But the Tarrasque...D&D's original bad boy engine of destruction...he deserves an adventure.

As for the current match up. I've said it before, and I'll say it again, the lich drow has been done...even with the whole phylactery-golem, it's not anything we haven't seen before. Yawn. But a warforged ninja...I'm sorry, but that's almost as cool as pirate ninjas. Hmm...maybe we should have a tie, and have an adventure that has a warforged ninja with the Tarrasque! It'd be like ninja pirates with dinosaurs, only better!

Even better would have been a three-way tie between these two and Shuluth the Mind Flayer. There's already a setting and title ready for that matchup: have the adventure take place in Narnia, and call it "The Psion, the Lich, and the Warforged".

Anti-Sean = t3h win.

Wow. I'm shocked Mr. T was able to pull it out. And it wasn't even that close.

Now we have an over-used symbol of the Realms with a twist vs. an over-used symbol of Eberron with a twist. Interesting. I'm going to say lich-face will take it, with < 60% of the vote.

 

[A'koss]

And there goes my pick of the contest...

Now... I honestly don't care who wins. I'm sure the steroidal T-Rex will go all the way. :\

A'koss.

 

[Laman Stahros]

What is wrong with this picture? Gojira (a stupid Japanese movie monster) beats a marilith dervish (a creature that at least has class levels)? How disappointing! Well, death to ninjas! Just the most overworked character concept ever. If the warforged were anything other than an asian flavored class, I'd vote for it, but I can not use a ninja. Onward drow lich lady!

 

[Dog Moon]

Oops. Double post.

Wasn't the Tarrasque in a 2e adventure? It wasn't the main star, no, but I woulda sworn it was in there. IIRC, it played kind of a blah part, basically exactly what you'd expect from a Tarrasque.

Btw, is the Iron Golem shaped like a spider a serious comment, or just a joke? I guess it would be a cool idea if it had come out a long time ago, but now I voted for the Drow because I like them better than Warforged. I think they shoulda chosen Svirfneblin. Not sure why, but I've always like them.

Or perhaps they shoulda chosen a demented Ooze Mephit with a couple of those Aberrant feats from Libris Mortis and the Fleshwarper PrC also from Libris Mortis and his phylactery would be a Dragonflesh Golem. You know, something weird or different. Maybe he could do something like in Silence of the Lamb where he collects body parts of women and the adventure could be a murder mystery.

Sometimes I wonder at the creativity of people, or lack thereof.
