At request, another Succubus one (remember that's level 9). Yeah succubi get a lot of prestige classes, probably more than any core race that isn't an Elf. Life Returner Succubi are often chosen as the fiend that gets to be redeemed and become angelic or a force of good. You see it in a bunch of gam...

A request~ Arctic Fox Here . CR 4, but look at this, no seriously. 10 hit dice, great ability scores, and then basically no abilities. This should be changed especially if anyone is to play one, but honestly also to use as a monster. Here is what it is now: CR 4, level 4, 4 hit dice. Ability Scores:...

Drowzee Small Aberration [Psionic], CR 2 8 9 12 11 15 10 2d8+2 (11 HP), Init -1, Speed 20' BAB/Grab: +1/-4 -Slam +1 (1d3-1) AC: 12 (+1 Size, -1 Dex, +2 Natural Armour), Flat 12 Touch 10 Fort +1 Ref -1 Will +5 Feats: Weapon Finesse (B), Ability Focus (Hypnosis) Skills: Concentration +6, Sense Motive...

Okay, when I saw the first post I thought it was just a bot, we get those, and sometimes they even say something "on topic but obviously wrong or stupid or worded in a way that you know it's an AI". But there's enough Natural Stupidity there, honest to goodness aggressive moronic reasoning...

Juvenile Copper Dragon MM1/SRD. "CR 9", level 11 in Tome, sure. Hey it's only Medium so it doesn't have "fitting in a tavern" problems! But it has "True Dragon" problems and doesn't have an alternate form. Alchemic Dragon This is inspired by the Tumbaga Dragon in PF (a...

Juvenile Cobalt Dragon Dragon Magazine #356, page 25. "CR 9", level 11 in a Tome game. Do I need to reiterate the bit where dragons have loads of good hit dice, and good stats? Insidious Influence Cobalt has a lot of interesting properties. It's magnetic. It is in some really blue compoun...

Juvenile Hex Dragon Dragon Magazine #343, page 38. "CR 8", level 10 or so. These ones are actually a bit easier to fit in the world due to Alternate Form and Graceful Flight, but there's still a lot of the normal dragon stuff going on. Accursed Wyrm Hex Dragons have some cool powers where...

Juvenile Blue Dragon MM/SRD. CR "8", level 10 in a Tome-level game, probably 11-12 otherwise. It's a Large dragon with 15 great hit dice and great ability scores, obviously there are problems. Also we're dealing with the Dragon Age problem. Desert Ghost We're actually leaning into the ill...

Okay, so we're going to have some True Dragons. Originally I didn't want to do this because "Yeah you keep advancing in age categories as a dragon, that's how they advance. Except it's in sudden chunks, based on age and not adventuring. So even the obvious thing doesn't actually work." But...

Warforged Titan Eberron Campaign Setting, page 302. CR 8, level 9. It's Huge. It's a Construct. It doesn't have thumbs. It barely has sentience. Don't worry, we're fixing some of these. Giant Mech I LOVE GIANT ROBOTS! YOU LOVE GIANT ROBOTS! WE LOVE GIANT ROBOTS! CHICKS DIG GIANT ROBOTS! This actual...

This one also took a lot of time and effort but it appeals to me for reasons. Munagola (Executioner Devil) Pathfinder, here . CR 11, level 11 9 (see below). Brutal Paragon The Munagola has your standard Devil stuff, and then after that they have- wait, did my notes disappear? Okay, so uh, they have ...

This week, the party explore upwards a little, met by some shouting: it turns out that a Marut - the enforcers of the finality of death - is hovering around a keep, demanding the undead in there be destroyed! So the party briefly conversed with them, before instead conversing with the devil inside w...

I spent too much time on this but I enjoyed myself so there we go. Red Abishai Fiendish Codex 2, page 110. CR 8, level 9. Regeneration that needs Good aligned weapons/spells to beat. Super Tiamat Red Abishai are usually either wardens and torturers in the Nine Hells (to be fair, most people there ar...

Lilitu Fiendish Codex 1, page 43. CR 12, level 14. Abyssal Sponsor The Lilitu isn't just an upgraded succubus. She has piles of great abilities - all of her ability scores are good, there's good Spell Resistance, four sting attacks with reach and poison, some good spell-like abilities, Cleric spell...

Ravid MM1/SRD. CR 5, level 5. The animation ability as written is way too annoying to have "on screen" all the time, so they should only be played in games of level 6+ where they take a level of the following class to reign it in. Animator Ravids like to float around the place almost aiml...

Drider SRD/Monster Manual. CR 7, level 8. Blood Seeker If you want your Drider to continue casting spells like a Sorcerer, Wizard or Cleric, then here's what you do: take levels in one of the prestige classes that progresses Sorcerer, Wizard or Cleric casting (or indeed take levels in the base clas...

The party have cleared out the dungeon now. They discovered a temple of bones, dedicated to the spider queen Haachama, and somehow managed to communicate with her drow followers, despite the followers being ardent believers in the language of Haachama. This was a bloodless conversation, and whereas ...
