Yeah I mean if it had been a Beholder Mage with another cool concept this might be closer. But a Lich's phyaltry in a greater Iron Golem, way too good not to vote for.

The whole "drow lich with a phylactery in a golem" didn't impress me, mostly because I'd seen it before. Did that give anyone else flashbacks to the lichdrow Dyrr from the War of the Spider Queen novels? He followed almost the exact same strategy. Likewise, in a similar venue, Chris Perkins had (in a Dungeon a few years back) a vampire that had it's coffin in a stone golem in the Underdark.

For me, the beholder swashbuckler was just a more original concept, and I like the idea, silly as it may be. He got my vote.

Al,

Your call. I just honestly don't see a Beholder fighting like that. Now a swashbuckling Gith or maybe a swashbuckler Stone Golem, that I could see since both have arms. But a Beholder?!

Honestly, a Beholder Swashbuckler? Drow Lich/Greater Iron Golem is at least non-pansy sounding. Neither of them will last long, but this round is all about do or die. The construct is designed to win.

Arrrrr. Haven't ye ever heard the phrase "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder?" Arrrrr.

Drow are overrated, they were cool in 2e, but not anymore. The Beholder Swashbuckler will skewer any foolish drow that tries to face it with its telekinetic wielded rapier.

I just can't picture an adventure featuring the Big T as being interesting... I don't much care for high-level games either...

They should have included a Myconid and a Yuan-Ti so that we could have chanted the obligatory, "Badger, Badger, Badger, Badger, Mushroom, Mushroom. Snake!!!"

I agree! The Tarrasque is IMO the most likely to win the overall contest, just because it is a very traditional monster of very high power.

But the adventure they will write with it will be completely useless. I mean, once you have defeated a single Tarrasque in your gaming life, are you really interested in doing it again? :\

 

[Blackthorne]

I find your lack of faith disturbing.

Meepo will take the cake, no doubt about it.

Meanwhile, vote for the beholder pirate! Just to show the drow fanboys what´s what.

I can just hear the Tarrasque now: "This is for How the Mighty are Fallen! And "Sleeping Dragon"! And all the boys back home on Falx!" (bonus points if you know where all those are from)

How the Mighty are Fallen -- an "Arcane Age" adventure about Netheril.
The Sleeping Dragon Inn -- famous for featuring Warduke and co.
Falx -- isn't that the Tarrasque Homeworld from Spelljammer?
