I’m not saying this might show up sometime in case anyone is reading this that it might matter to, I’m just saying that hobgoblins might have a troop like that takes care of their sneakier things. And I’m not saying that if you did run into one of these you wouldn’t find them in pairs …

Created this little gem of a guy that you could use if you like. He’s designed for a swamp but it coulde a Woods Walker almost as well, just reskin the obvious powers into a basic force blast of some kind. Maybe dust or dirt or leaves or whatever. You can grab a copy of …

Came up with this as a possible encounter for a group of level 4-5 level 3 characters. [Disclaimer with the house rules I use this is an actually viable encounter creature even though it's 7 levels higher than the group, your mileage may vary.] This is just an example of tweaking an existing creature. I …

Someone asked so here you go. THese are the creatures I created for last week’s sessions, they all weren’t deployed. They’re designed versus a level 1 party with 5 members.  The encounters ranged from around 750xp budget to 1200xp for the ‘boss’ level encounter budget. There are six possible encounters, they bypassed one from good …

These are the undead that I’m going to use in my house rules test. Someone wanted them and I do try to be reasonably obliging. You can use the images below or you can down the pdf’s , , , . I’m also using the new Export function of the Monster Builder and you can …

Wanted to post these to compare for later. Original designs by malcom_n and Character Builder images by Thornbrier. You can see the original thread here.

Just thought I might want to look at this again sometime although it’s pretty common sense. The Vulnerability 10 should be modified I believe to scale with tier, 5 for heroic, 10 for paragon, 15 for epic or something along those lines. +10 damage at level 1 from an at-will like Scorching Burst would pretty …

I needed something to terrorize a small town or large village and this seemed appropriate. Unexplained deaths have been occurring over the last several months, with several inhabitants being found dead in their sleep without any marks on them. People are scared, and now few people dare to sleep alone. Even so people are still …

This is Tat, Tit’s companion, both of who generally work for Blacksnake. Tat is a large creature, half giant, half tiefling maybe, no one’s really sure. He delights in the simple pleasures in life, primarily throwing people around at the direction of Tit. He loves grabbing the front line and using them as weapons against …

Been so busy with building bunkbeds (which came out pretty darn nice if a bit rustic), being on call, and life in general that I haven’t had much time but I did knock out Tit, a companion for Blacksnake. He’s a fire controller and has a brother called Tat who’s going to be either a …

Okay right now I’m not thrilled with the Monster Builder in some areas. Yes it’s a great tool. But… there’s no caret in the text fields for editing the drop downs, there are NO options for printout, I need a HTML output option and I would say that most people would. The colors are off …

A rather nasty little bugger I came up with just now after thinking about zombies. I’d really like to see a player fall to this during the fight and rise as zombie. This creature should definitely be paired up with zombies of some sort. Either zombie rotters as it’s current crop of ‘minions’ are decaying …

Okay I’m reading through the Village of Hommlet 4th Edition version which is not so much a conversion as it is a faithful xerox of the original but with 4e stat blocks. I don’t have a problem with that, it brings back memories, good ones. The giant frog swallowing the halfling whole and the look …

In preparation to the “Running with Zizzors” I started printing out monster sheets last night (sample one below) and I need 12 of them. And 5 sets of character sheets (2 pages + 1 spreadsheet of powers). And miscellaneous tracking pages. And the adventure itself. And my printer decides to go tits up. And my …

Mesh_Hong has come up with another ‘book of’ for your player annoying pleasure. Filled to the brim with aberrant beasts, humanoids and things better left unlooked at the Book of Distant Stars should give you a little something creepy and slimy to hide under the next outre tavern the PC’s decide to stop at. 64 …

I’ve re-written (okay it’s not a full write up just some notes on each encounter) the encounter of one area that I’ll be running to better fit the new setting I’m coming up with. While the creature doesn’t give much away, I can’t really go into details on the setting as that would empower the …

Original Image Credits [Image Removed] In an effort to be extremely clever and witty I’m calling the module I’m writing for an upcoming session Running With Zizzors. Bow before my awesomeness and weep in joy. This module is for players new to 4th Edition and in the case of one, new to PnP RPG’ing due …

This is an old thread but still a valid one. A lot of monsters that didn’t make the ‘cut’ in the Monster Manual 1 (although this may no longer be valid in the Monster Manual 2) have been stat’ed out for our bemusement and in general aren’t too badly done, at least the ones I’ve …

Another addition to the H1 – Keep on the Shadowfell module I’m planning on running as a one off for some folks. Â This big guy will replace something somewhere, maybe in the keep’s kitchen… I need to work on the story line too but there’s a lot of folks who’ve already exhaustively gone through the …

Another kobold I’m going to mix into the encounters in H1 Keep on the Shadowfell. This one is a larger than average kobold with massive shoulders and arms and he gets by hurling rocks at targets and smashing people about with them. While the image over there doesn’t completely match it isn’t too bad though, …
