WotC's Head to head monster match! Vote for your favorite!

Well darn, the nameless troll managed to win...

That said, "battle of the bland" is right for this week. Neither seemed exceptionally cool...at least until I read the stone giant paladin's description. I'm sorry, but throwing sanctified boulders that he took from a ruined church clinched it for me. Time to give 'em some holy hurlin'!

Stone Giant Paladin it is for me, literally. All you need is one caster type with the Polymorph spell and hey presto you're a stone giant paly for X minutes!!!

Oh yeah, it helps also if yer a Paladin!!!

Succubus Paladin VS. Meepo in round two could be the "real" final!

Bah.

A Succubus Paladin?!? Where's the fun in that!
Meepo? Feh.... Like most wee folk, they're only real use is as improvised weapons when you have nothing else handy.

I really cannot decide yet this week... both the unicorn and the stone giant are quite fine, nothing extraordinary but neither bad, but being ultra-good characters I would have no use for an adventure featuring them (which is the final prize for this game's winner).

Wow, never underestimate the power of the munchkin vote....

Aw, kiss off. Trolly (as I have come to call him) had a lot going for him. On the one hand,you had a readily identifiable iconic critter, and on the other you had some wimply-looking little blob of smoke. "Munchkin vote"? Heck, doesn't make a lot of sense to vote against a critter expressly because he's an insanely effective combatant.

That's what clinched it for me too.

Wow... there are a lot of silly monster combinations on there. Succubus paladin riding a vrock?! Not that that isn't cool, but why would a vrock every let a succubus ride him?

... wait, I think I answered my own question.

I went with the troll, ultimately. I found both choices bland, but the troll at least had an "Ohmigod!" image of terror in my head.

But I'm willing to bet the Stone Giant paladin, who I went with this time around, will knock it out of the running.

Because I don't think the unicorn's making it. Not that I have a problem with unicorns, mind you, but, really...just too generic in comparison to the giant.

I am hoping, however, that the marilith dervish gives the tarrasque what for. Jannys also needs to go. She ousted a swashbucklin' beholder! Bah! Some of the choices are intentionally silly, I believe. The beholder among them. He really needed to advance a bit further. At least further than drow-face. For my part, I like all the goofy choices. And the warforged ninja fits neatly into my philosophy that robots are the equivalent to ninjas whereas monkeys are the equivalent to pirates in the robot vs. monkey and ninja vs. pirate conflicts.

Ok, I finally went with the Unicorn this turn, but it's not a nice match this time. I slightly prefer the Unicorn because even if the stone giants aren't evil (or nongood) I have some problem imagining one being a paladin.

Next match I'm surely going to vote for the Illithid, even if I don't like psionics. But a succubus paladin just sucks. A demon should simply be evil otherwise it's not a demon. To me that "Always CE means exception are one in a million" means that exceptions are either NE or nothing. There's a limit to exceptions as well...

Oh, now that line of thinking just pisses me off big-time.

So negative, so narrow. I was sittin' on the fence on this one, but now......

Goooooooo Sucky!
