Uncle Kitties Guide to Hopefully Humorous Abominations of Nature

[bhu]

any thoughts on the prerequisites for Nerf Weapons?

[MyndBulletz]

d'you mean for crafting them or for using them?

[bhu]

crafting.  I added the weapon ability to the Nerf Olem description

[MyndBulletz]

I think nerf weapons shouldn't do lethal damage. You should add access to a spell that nullifies damage, or a spell that has to do with stealing other people's ability...

"Where's my money?"

Long, long ago in the dim dark past of the Jester's Realm there was a gigantic nameless abomination of life.  This towering abomination had pretensions towards godhood, and set about attempting to achieve this aim.  Since the Jester appoints Lesser deities in his own realm, he was amused by the monsters chutzpah.  He was less amused by all the frothing, bloody sacrifices it made in order to try to get it's desires.  And so he demoted it in a sense.  Stripping the creature of it's awe-inspiring size and magical power, e reduced it in form to that of a tiny hamster.  He also cursed it to be unable to touch the ground fro reasons unknown.   

Eventually taking the name Ralph the now enraged (but teensy) entity set about re-establishing it's kingdom, beginning as an adviser or 'power behind the throne' type of ruler.  Ralph has been defeated several times, and usually manages to regain a kingdom somewhere.  He's immortal after all he can afford to be patient.  In the meantime he has spawned many species of magical hamster, much to his personal embarrassment.

Ralph appears as a normal hamster, albeit usually with cape and crown, floating off the ground.


Improved Grab (Ex): Emperor Ralph may make a Grapple Check without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.

Incredibly Strong (Ex): Emperor Ralph does not take Size Penalties to Combat Maneuvers such as Grappling, Trips, Bull Rushes, etc.

Floaty (Ex): As he is cursed to not touch the ground, Ralph floats in the air hovering.  Absolutely no force on earth can get him closer than 6" from the ground, effectively granting him immunity to Trip Attacks, he can never be prone, and he constantly has a Feather Fall in Effect on his person.

Immunities (Ex): Ralph is immune to Ability Drain/Damage, Energy Drain, aging, Stunning, sleep and death effects, poison, paralysis, petrification, polymorph, disease, fear/morale penalties, and fatigue/exhaustion effects.  He does not require food, sleep, or water. 

Regeneration (Ex): Ralph's Regeneration doesn't work against damage that is both Epic and Good.

Combat: Lacking his former impressive physical armament and supernatural abilities, Ralph has had to be content with studying fighting the old fashioned way: the martial arts.  He is the worlds only floating kung fu hamster.  And he's not happy.  Generally he prefers others to do his fighting for him, but if pressed he's a pretty mean grappler.

[Radmelon]

What. 

[bhu]

I updated it with a pic and some more crunchy bits.  He's a potential BBEG in my silly campaign.

[bhu]

I need some inspirational ideas for a floating kung fu hamster....

[Radmelon]

Sounds pretty inspired to me. (And crazy...) 

[bhu]

Ralph has been fluffied.

[Radmelon]

What IS the jester's realm, anyways?  I'm guessing it's a campaing-specific thing you do, but still...

[bhu]

The Jester's Realm is the name for my silly campaign.  A Ravenloft like Demiplane populated by a whacky Jester Overdeity who kidnaps people and things to populate it.

[Radmelon]

Cool. Do you have the documentation for it? I'd like to know more.

[bhu]

I've only kinda made notes and such so far.  I've been trying to flesh it out as we play, but getting my group to play actual RPG's instead of card/board games seems a lost cause these days.  I'll prolly have to run it PbP.

[Radmelon]

I'd definitly be interested.

"Damn lizard man been eating the car agin Jessi.  Ah say we need tuh kilt him."

The Lizard Man of Scape Ore Swamp is a bizarre reptilian humanoid known for chewing on and damaging cars.

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Lizard Man hits with it's claw attack it may immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  If successful it may Rend.

Rend (Ex): If the Lizard Man successfully hits with both claws it latches on and Rends for an additional 2d6+12 damage.  It may also rend with a successful Grapple Check.

Skills (Ex): The Lizard Man gets a +8 Racial Bonus on Climb and Swim Checks, and may always Take 10 on a Climb or Swim Check.

Combat: The Lizard Man doesn't seem to be a tactical genius.  Most of his tactics seem to be "charge and tear into opponent".

"How is it Wizards never have normal pet guards Bert?"

"Ah think they feel they need to live up to their reputation."

"Ah'm gonna hurt this one bad since that thing of his pooped ink in mah face."

The Rhinoctopus is a bizarre Wizardly creation involving a melding of the Octopus and the Rhino.  Why someone felt the need to do it is anyones guess, but perhaps they thought it would make an interesting all terrain guardian.  It looks vaguely like a gelatinous octopoid shape with a larger than usual body, and a horned face.

Improved Grab (Ex): If the Rhinoctopus successfully hits with it's tentacle attack, it may immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  If it succeeds it may then use it's Rending Constriction.

Rending Constriction (Ex): If the Rhinoctopus successfully Grapples an opponent it squeezes him while goring it with it's horn simultaneously.  It does 3d6+6 damage with a successful Grapple Check. 

Ink Cloud (Ex):  The Rhinoctopus can spew black ichor once per minute as a Free Action.  Underwater this creates a 20' by 20' by 20' cloud that provides total concealment and completely obscures vision.  Out of water it is a 10' ranged touch attack.  If it hits the opponent must make a DC 15 Reflex Save (Save DC is Dex Based) or be blinded for 1d6 rounds, or until he can spend a full round washing it from his eyes whichever occurs first.

Combat: Rhinoctopus are ambush predators waiting underneath the water for prey to come to drink.  If prey fails to appear, they can shimmy up onto land and try to chase it down, which can be a terrifying sight to anyone in the vicinity unused to their appearance.

EPIC.

"Dammit Bert why does it always have to be birds?"

The Owlman cryptid appears to be a winged feathery humanoid with a birdlike face and large glowing eyes.  It also has pointed ears and large talons. 

Frightening Presence (Ex): Whenever the Owlman makes a flying attack or screams any opponent with less Hit Dice (and within 30') than it must make a DC 18 Willpower Save (Save DC is Charisma Based) or be Shaken 5d6 rounds.

Combat: Unless hungry Owlmen usually just frighten their opponents and take off.  If they are hungry they fly back quietly and ambush from another direction.

[Radmelon]

So hust a tiny owlbear than?
