Wizards has released the “The Last Breaths of Ashenport” an updated module for 4th edition. Heroic Tier but at first glance I can’t see the actual level requirements. Mentions Cthulhu which is never bad in my book. I’m guessing that ‘landscape’ is the new black this year in terms of module layout? I don’t care …

This is another DDI posting so you’ll need your login (it’s free, make one and use a throwaway gmail, yahoo, hotmail, whatever to validate it if you need to). The article gives you a link to a PDF for the city of Mithrendain a city of the Feywild. Might be useful to you if like …

Valdrax has a Monk class for you to look at. The threads been going long enough that there should quite a bit of sanity checking going on in terms of useful and useless, under and over powered abilities. That makes several feature complete classes for people to try out in addition to the standard ones. …

A few more kobolds for your small reptilian pleasure. A Harpooner which has a unique to me ability to pull or be pulled depending on whether he hits or not. Â A glue potter although I’m not 100% on the, “takes damage once and the glue pots blow up” and stick him to the floor, …

This big (for a goblin) broad (in several senses of the word) goblin is virtualy the only non-male goblin one might find in a war party or leading the defense of a goblin camp. A terror in the goblin kitchens, she holds no less threat in even the staunchest of the war bands. Typically she’ll …

Here’s one I’ve missed until now. A 1st level module, Rescue at Rivenwar. You can get it here but you will need to have a Dungeons and Dragons Insider account (still free). The adventure is for starting level group of 5. This a series of modules, well the start of one, that will in theory …

As mentioned here is my next Elite goblin. The Fleshraiser, the goblin’s answer to Necromancers everywhere. Although it costs the Fleshraiser his own life, he can raise the corpses of his fallen allies on the battlefield as Zomblins. In addition he can use his powers to weaken, slow and immoblize the enemy precisely so that …

Ender_IT has crafted some Gobling’s, these are tiny little guys kinda like pirahna I would guess. They go after the smell of blood. Individually they’re not very tough at all. But en masse they could give even the most hardened warrior reason to pause. Of course controllers, well AOE blasters won’t have a lot of …

Another goblin I came up with based entirely on the picture in this posting. These guys carry big ass shields covered in spikes that they can use to bash your head in or nail you to the ground with. They’re steadfast and durable on the battlefield and any goblin near them fights better knowing that …

Perhaps unnecessary and if it is I’ll discard it but after playtesting I had the perception that something like this might be useful. Sure it duplicates information found elsewhere but my primary thing is this strictly for combats and only includes the hard numbers and not the normal calculation boxes you find on a character …

As my little playtesting turned semi-campaign has it, the party is having trouble with Goblins. Now there are only a few goblins and I want (need?) more so I came up with some others to fill the ranks. I know there are Goblin Sharpshooters but those are really the sniper of the tribes and I …

We created a couple of more characters last night for playtesting purposes and added them to the group, a Eladrin Wizard and an Elf Ranger. The ‘add 3 rituals’ thing through me for a bit but I eventually found them and was going ‘ohhhh so that’s what that thread is for.’. So I went back …

Clkolbe has created pictures of the three kobolds I linked to earlier. Very very cool stuff. I offer you a post with not one but three images in it, all three worth looking at. If only I had that kind of talent with 2d art. I guess I’ll have to live with looking pretty.

In response to a request, Hazard84 has posted some zombies ala Goblin which personally I think could be useful and hence they get stored here for posterity. Pretty nice to see people responding to requests like that rather than RFTM or my favorite “See page 187 DMG” or whatever. Of course that doesn’t really let …

My new Elite Controller. It’s an arcanech (ar-cane-ek) and lives off the energy of the Nether, that slippery space that separates the here and there. I envisioned pretty much after coming across the image to the right and my comment that everyone seems to make Brutes. So I came up with this. It’s surrounded by …

The ‘loss’ of familiars is certainly something of interest to me. I kinda like the things as a DM as they can be used to provide some roleplay opportunities or just interesting mechanics during a fight. I’m not necessarily fond of the ‘buffing’ familiar though. I had thoughts of just allowing an arcane caster to …

A very brutish monster on the monster forums. I wonder why brutes are far and a away the most common Solo monster that gets made? They’re easy enough, I’ll grant them that. Just give them big smashing powers and you’re good to go. Anyway the OP has a very good idea, but that version is …
Jul 24
There’s some pretty hot things cooking up on the monsters forum, bad pun intended. But if you need some low level fire type monsters including solo’s and lower then this thread might useful for you. Maybe you’ve got your players scheduled to go into a lava pit or investigate the rash of forest fires in …

I’m in the module writing mood and I wanted a template to fill out. Well alas and alack there isn’t one out there that I’m happy with. So I came up with my own and you can find a zipped copy here. It’s in Word 97-2003 format although I created it in Word 2007 so …

Nivenus has some more half a race for your bemusement. His own take on the Half-Orc, the Half-Eladrin and dun dun dun, the ubiquitous Half-Drow. Apparently Drizzle has been gettin’ busy with the human populous. Ever wonder why or how humans are apparently gene compatible with every other single race and yet none of the …
