So much cover, so much foil. 250+ pages of monstery goodness.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Includes some brand new illustrations, not available in our previous books.

They&#39;re not stupid, but merely have intelligence comparable to that of an average human. Regardless, they&#39;re one of the nicer examples of the sphinx-type monster. While they&#39;re still carnivorous beasts, they generally refrain from attacking humans, preferring to engage them in conversation instead. Some saurosphinxes have been known to approach universities and lesser schools to listen to any interesting lectures going on at the time.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The &lt;i&gt;Monster Manual &lt;/i&gt;has four sphinxes in it (lady-head, dude-head, sheep-head and hawk-head), but&amp;nbsp; &lt;i&gt;Sandstorm&lt;/i&gt;, D&amp;amp;D&#39;s desert rules&lt;i&gt; &lt;/i&gt;book, adds four more. The saurosphinx isn&#39;t the only reptilian one either, as it&#39;s immediately preceded by a crocodile-headed sphinx. Seems kinda redundant, but they make the point of making one of them nice and the other one vicious.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; There&#39;s no illustration of this creature in &lt;i&gt;Sandstorm&lt;/i&gt;, and I get the impression that they&#39;re supposed to be kinda dragony or otherwise lizard-like, but I couldn&#39;t help giving this dude a snake head.

Though sainthood is not the same as godhood, it does grant abilities to the saint that allow them to stay alive for longer to spread the word of their god.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &quot;Saint&quot; isn&#39;t a creature, really, but a template that can be added onto any PC after level 6. Feels like that&#39;s kinda early to get the holiness required to be a saint but whatever. It&#39;s kinda up to the DM&#39;s discretion whether you qualify for the template anyway, and it does essentially require you to sacrifice two levels of progression for the sake of power balance. But you do get a lot of abilities that are essentially free that make you really hard to kill, so there&#39;s that.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://blancamz.tumblr.com/&quot;&gt;Blanca鈥檚 Tumblr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/feeds/9003750253654791876/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2019/02/saint.html#comment-form' title='8 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/9003750253654791876'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/9003750253654791876'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2019/02/saint.html' title='Saint'/><author><name>Blanca Martinez de Rituerto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01639491330593832955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCaOc4JUKaiN7WtvvT41RiBcU6ByY9F1eqZzma21tLXoZ3sx5FmuJ8-KMViSm6zfMWCS3KOheB3OMbfHWpUm6OAgiN1kjC6LIcx2TeS4lYeziM60XD54mF6D9G0vbiUg/s220/lola2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSn3s77yV8Rtdf6mkzHJxHdsSECOhERnBAlzHgLpDrQMTj72cnR28jyEnZaa_CSa-N9EfFYM0JDqZXRRd_8WcesUd6HIuBkoSlEki7mubgiJMb7PuZB7qFg6GDSaq73vGY3ynaU-T4f7hM/s72-c/saint.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>8</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628266066616665000.post-5734171161688883335</id><published>2019-02-04T08:00:00.000+00:00</published><updated>2019-02-04T08:00:04.073+00:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="artist: blanca"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book: tome of magic"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 14"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="evil"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="lawful"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="type: outsider"/><title type='text'>Logokron Devil</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIayLbGLbuWsXBCjjA3UgsA0AuCPZ0kGq0emP6GUCXiQcxFKsFZLKf6wAPTjORUDbvhjuxppeOrIibUqf1sYmW3JCejScb10P-00wIrCqUh3X2zVPspz65oYoZekB2ETqmg_dnHxa9wHAR/s1600/logokron+devil.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;855&quot; data-original-width=&quot;750&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIayLbGLbuWsXBCjjA3UgsA0AuCPZ0kGq0emP6GUCXiQcxFKsFZLKf6wAPTjORUDbvhjuxppeOrIibUqf1sYmW3JCejScb10P-00wIrCqUh3X2zVPspz65oYoZekB2ETqmg_dnHxa9wHAR/s640/logokron+devil.png&quot; width=&quot;560&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Much like certain &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dungeonsanddrawings.com/2017/02/word-archon.html&quot;&gt;angelic beings&lt;/a&gt; use truename magic, so do some devils. As one might imagine, the logokron devil&#39;s use of truemagic is meant to cause pain. Their long tongues are marked all over with magic symbols which are painful to look at, causing one to seize up and shake with insurmountable agony.

Famously shy, myconids stay far from the bustle of human civilisation, serving as stoic watchers over their hallowed groves. Whilst their bodies may seem weak and pallid, they are quite hardy; a clan of myconids will not hesitate to gang together to protect their young and their weak from outside attack, aided by the poisonous spores they continuously shed.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I&#39;m gonna cop to some influence here from &lt;a href=&quot;http://hollowknight.wikia.com/wiki/Mister_Mushroom&quot;&gt;the mushroom in Hollow Knight&lt;/a&gt;, but this also makes me think of the mushroom-people from the Dark Souls series, the way they travel in packs of children and adults. Also the design trope of a monster lumbering about with a bunch of weapons lodged in its hide is a real favourite of mine, the way it sort of tells a story, like - many have tried to kill this thing, but all have failed.</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/feeds/3710570943910194036/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/12/myconid-redux.html#comment-form' title='6 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/3710570943910194036'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/3710570943910194036'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/12/myconid-redux.html' title='Myconid (Redux)'/><author><name>Joe Sparrow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15067296085618354721</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgezkREzb1znyXoPEaZPeY07t6gNE-d3YWlgao0XaZVkiZwyjdzIJHOLiBv3OKLzMBVE1gx0ozQ7lZu9AIRk4HUtGZGgLikluK7YPLmuatiVu4NRrKEXm_8N6KGAYF23g/s220/Joe_Sparrow_AuthorPic_218x218.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiiSWCU51yFysTUrrN9PGCRyfOFxS7_FYzf2nUUdlCE2yRCs9G5-g410-myiXTTr6T85VDnD-HbKvtBlFHsyXmIgfgkhKuVoHJIj-iK_2FS_kRJzn0yPgmtjU9b9h5j0cd3bdxln6nQLo8/s72-c/fungusfolk04.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>6</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628266066616665000.post-7877857023803594275</id><published>2018-12-03T11:30:00.001+00:00</published><updated>2018-12-03T11:31:01.510+00:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="news"/><title type='text'>Dungeons &amp;

Noisy, smelly, and worryingly numerous, they are a constant nuisance to any and all around them (though never catastrophically so). With nests across the multiverse, they have been likened to the common cold - in that what they lack in raw destructive power they easily make up for in hardiness and resilience to extermination (much to the chagrin of the more &quot;cultured&quot; civilisations who they revel in bothering).&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; -&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I think my favourite goblins are &lt;a href=&quot;https://magic.wizards.com/en/articles/archive/feature/guide-goblins-2009-12-14&quot;&gt;Magic: the Gathering goblins&lt;/a&gt;, mainly due to the extent of their ineptitude (there&#39;s a running gag where goblin cards will do... like the opposite thing they ought to do - see &lt;a href=&quot;http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=438482&amp;amp;type=card&quot;&gt;Goblin Diplomats&lt;/a&gt;) and also their propensity for infighting and (*cough*) &lt;a href=&quot;https://img.scryfall.com/cards/large/en/tpr/136.jpg?1517813031&quot;&gt;self-sacrifice&lt;/a&gt;. Plus, they&#39;re one of those creature types where you can easily flood the board with them, and my inner &lt;a href=&quot;https://mtg.gamepedia.com/Player_type#Timmy.2FTammy&quot;&gt;timmy&lt;/a&gt; lights up at the thought of swinging for lethal with 10,000+ goblins as facilitated by someone like &lt;a href=&quot;http://gatherer.wizards.com/Handlers/Image.ashx?multiverseid=438492&amp;amp;type=card&quot;&gt;Krenko&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Anyway! These goblins are inspired by &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgKaCPdKwAlLITroa6VuHBTkXEsDR75PKlI1JMzv4jyjVxd70kincwjmCkqcNPAcLoJuQqd6tiJTtSBpeMU6m_Ly7dEMa7vglso3NF3eoEtfI0wotuDDq-v02yCKTka-1n8asxdC-spq7vx/s1600/goblin+model+05.png&quot;&gt;Blanca&#39;s old 3d designs for goblins&lt;/a&gt;, which are slightly puggy, but also by the miniblin enemies from Wind Waker. I guess with the knobbly bits on their heads you might mistake them for some lesser devil or other, but from a folkloric perspective I think goblins/imps/bugbears/devils are all cut from kind of the same cloth, so I don&#39;t really mind.&lt;br /&gt;

width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Storm elementals are pretty much perky &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dungeonsanddrawings.com/2013/06/large-air-elemental.html&quot;&gt;air elementals&lt;/a&gt;. They may be slower, but they pack quite a bit of zap, especially when you get to the bigger ones of the bunch. The little fellas can be pretty useful as a summoned ally, since their attacks actually deal sonic and electric damage at the same time. If one bit of hurt can&#39;t get through, the other one probably will.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; They may well be the reason why airplanes and such never quite took off in fantasy worlds. Magical airships maybe have some kinda magical protection against storm elementals coming along and puncturing their balloons.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I like to think of these guys hanging around blue dragons, thunderbirds and the other big electric beasties of the sky, just hanging around them like remora on a shark.&lt;br /&gt;

width=&quot;400&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Of all the aberrations that have squirmed their way from outside time and space onto the material plane, there are none quite like the Mimic. It is certainly not the greatest of them, nor the most powerful (either in raw strength or intellect). Yet it is (at least to the average adventurer) one of the most feared, and rightly so.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The thing that sets Mimics apart from most of their alien brethren is that most aberrations come into our world with little to no understanding of it; or, if they do comprehend our ways, they simply do not care. Creatures like the Gibbering Mouther, the Grick, or the Choker - these fiends hunt, kill and feed almost mindlessly, making full use of their evolved weaponry but without the slightest concern for the humanity that fears them.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The Mimic, however, is more insidious. It has learned the habits of humans - particularly the foolhardy breed known as &quot;adventurers&quot;, who are fond of going out into the world in groups of only five or six - and is capable of... well, &lt;i&gt;mimicking &lt;/i&gt;any object that might serve to disguise itself until prey draws close, ensuring a quick death to any who fall into its trap.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Some have claimed that the Mimic is like any other camouflaged animal - that its transformations are merely opportunistic, dumb imitations of form simply to hide from prey. But seasoned hunters swear differently; that within each Mimic&#39;s actions there lurks a streak of genuine malevolence, or, even worse, dark humour. What&#39;s more, survivors of one Mimic attack will often become obsessed by the threat of another - every pot, chest and chair becomes a potential threat that must be investigated thoroughly. More than a few such adventurers have descended into madness.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; -&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; This one&#39;s inspired by the various breeds of octopus that can alter the colour of their skin (as well as - seemingly - its very texture) to more effectively camouflage themselves. There&#39;s a specific breed known as the &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t-LTWFnGmeg&quot;&gt;Mimic Octopus&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;that adds another layer to this subterfuge by actively pretending to be other creatures - poisonous sea snakes, flatfish and lionfish to name a few examples - in order to scare off predators.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I spent a while trying to grade the transition from tentacles into wood so that it was sufficiently smooth. I&#39;m not sure if I like it 100% but I at least enjoy looking at it for the colours right now! For some reason I really like using blues and purples for wood.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://joe-sparrow.tumblr.com/&quot;&gt;Joe&#39;s tumblr&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/feeds/172282412836178252/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/11/mimic-redux.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/172282412836178252'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/172282412836178252'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/11/mimic-redux.html' title='Mimic (Redux)'/><author><name>Joe Sparrow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15067296085618354721</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgezkREzb1znyXoPEaZPeY07t6gNE-d3YWlgao0XaZVkiZwyjdzIJHOLiBv3OKLzMBVE1gx0ozQ7lZu9AIRk4HUtGZGgLikluK7YPLmuatiVu4NRrKEXm_8N6KGAYF23g/s220/Joe_Sparrow_AuthorPic_218x218.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEii6b2nzdX8o2LHAj-Ynk-r0ch3Mhs6mBw1ftM0-mD7ivskifHf6Se1Wk-lni1IH3bYyf3GuwFZWxP-xaXJhZo5z72vrgxfbqcc81QM4n6eWB3gHaPY6YRetCPEQoTXOWT82L5dOeFlDWA/s72-c/mimic11.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628266066616665000.post-8530656851244903180</id><published>2018-11-05T12:00:00.000+00:00</published><updated>2018-11-05T18:44:42.245+00:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="artist: blanca"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book: magic of faerun"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="chaotic"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR +2"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 7"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="evil"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="lawful"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="neutral"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="type: undead"/><title type='text'>Spectral Mage</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTmJbl6BuTXa5xsAUr0rPxDUyV5NLDe1QVK_PQgP09VmG4ppWskv9eb42CGUdA6qyifWF6sJGsKza05SZW_TyWV0mLyMqhjrERHjJSUUOmtwAzDoQyT0dsVDIxbDtqWNL_-uEYMX-knLuf/s1600/spectral+mage.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;750&quot; data-original-width=&quot;750&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjTmJbl6BuTXa5xsAUr0rPxDUyV5NLDe1QVK_PQgP09VmG4ppWskv9eb42CGUdA6qyifWF6sJGsKza05SZW_TyWV0mLyMqhjrERHjJSUUOmtwAzDoQyT0dsVDIxbDtqWNL_-uEYMX-knLuf/s640/spectral+mage.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt; Okay so you can have ghost, but what if the ghost was, like, magic?

Or you could use the somewhat superfluous spectral mage template!&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Honestly there isn&#39;t that much difference between the two types of ghosties. Except maybe that spectral mages are a bit more consistent as poltergeists since they don&#39;t have to take breaks between levitation spells.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Mostly I like the idea of a wizard spending just, like, &lt;i&gt;ages&lt;/i&gt;

width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; Any village swineherd who has heard more than a single story about dragons is likely to come away with some half-formed impression of their grandeur. There&#39;s an argument to be made that this plays into the scheming of the dragons themselves - famously vain creatures that they are - but there is simply no denying that, by and large, drakes are a noble breed of great physical beauty. Chromatics: vast, snarling, scheming creatures, studded with scales of scarlet and topaz... Metallics: even larger in size but wise and meditative, sheathed in lustrous snakeskin like spun silver and gold... even the so-called lesser breeds, shoots that deviate from the stem of dragon-kind, usually retain some faded glimmer of their more magnificent cousins. Usually.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; There is, they say, no beast that will quicker dispel the illusion of dragons as creatures of nobility as the Wyvern. Like a gangly, embarrassing cousin they are rarely acknowledged by the &quot;true&quot; breeds, yet they are far more numerous, which speaks, perhaps, to their pigeon-like success at populating the world.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Compared to the average Chromatic, the Wyvern is a stunted, bony parody of a dragon. Its body is barely larger than an elephant, its intelligence subhuman. Its scales range from mottled brown, through half-formed greens to pale, sandy yellows and whites, depending on its surroundings - the idea of camouflage is anathema to full-blooded dragons, but Wyverns will take their advantages wherever they can get them. Finally, and most markedly, Wyverns at some point deviated from their greater kin in the loss of their draconic forelimbs.

Mr. &lt;i&gt;Hopping&lt;/i&gt; Vampire.

They&#39;re psychic vampires, breathing on you and draining your chi. The big ol&#39; claws are just a good way to make you stay put while they do that sweet chi draining.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt; Also, unlike regular vampires, they don&#39;t have that whole shape-shifting thing to make themselves look sexy. It&#39;s the moldy rotting corpse look that they&#39;ve got going on. Not that they could lay some seduction on you with words either, because they&#39;re not too bright either. These dudes are also completely blind, and detect their prey by sensing their breath. But they&#39;re reeeeaaallly good at sensing breath, can feel it from quite far away, so you&#39;d better put some distance between you and Mr. Vampire.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt; So that should make them easy enemies, yeah? Well, sunlight doesn&#39;t harm them, so you can&#39;t just whip aside some curtains or come back to their hidey-holes after sunrise to kill them. They&#39;ll be awake and they&#39;ll be waiting. Or maybe they&#39;ll just be following you. And don&#39;t let them get you with the claws either, because pretty soon after you&#39;ll feel your muscles seizing up until you can only move at a hop-hop-hop.&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt; Hop-hop-happy Halloween to you. &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://blancamz.tumblr.com/&quot;&gt;Blanca鈥檚 Tumblr&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/feeds/1217835138678385981/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/10/hopping-vampire.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/1217835138678385981'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/1217835138678385981'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/10/hopping-vampire.html' title='Hopping Vampire'/><author><name>Blanca Martinez de Rituerto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01639491330593832955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCaOc4JUKaiN7WtvvT41RiBcU6ByY9F1eqZzma21tLXoZ3sx5FmuJ8-KMViSm6zfMWCS3KOheB3OMbfHWpUm6OAgiN1kjC6LIcx2TeS4lYeziM60XD54mF6D9G0vbiUg/s220/lola2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQo28hbFgctVhL4mXIdCTQCD2lzPCF6vpVQ8pTTkE0WAZ5hHJwtTShWriq__hvwqHBTtPf7uqmp2zkuqRVs02ELO_aHVRPiQYNQcDsfCHYNyTIErWqr6Iepn-iI-7J_VCAYMGiIuJgmeF8/s72-c/hopping+vampire.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628266066616665000.post-6282277001397059829</id><published>2018-10-14T20:34:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2018-10-14T20:36:40.001+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="artist: joe"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book: monster manual"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 12"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="evil"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="neutral"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="type: magical beast"/><title type='text'>Kraken (Redux)</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi2sG2_p4Yra_0IHqR7UbBMWyfrt8vqZNI64c9Mvp3mXQpslsNuk5GDbhfgqvmMXaKNz3bJDun2N07VH6l7lerY7xL78-f7aCXvGHe62JvoPX2t4UQMh_gMDpjBppp5D2HVAOvSuKyf7E/s1600/kraken05.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1427&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1600&quot; height=&quot;570&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi2sG2_p4Yra_0IHqR7UbBMWyfrt8vqZNI64c9Mvp3mXQpslsNuk5GDbhfgqvmMXaKNz3bJDun2N07VH6l7lerY7xL78-f7aCXvGHe62JvoPX2t4UQMh_gMDpjBppp5D2HVAOvSuKyf7E/s640/kraken05.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;blockquote class=&quot;tr_bq&quot;&gt; &lt;i&gt;&quot;...Child of dark!

Go look at it if you want to see an example of the old slightly janky pixelart I used to do! I didn&#39;t think it was very good, even at the time, so I decided to redo it but still try and sort of... aim for the same feeling that I was going for before? If that makes sense? I think I succeeded to some extent.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I&#39;ve always had a pretty deep-rooted fear of the sea, which I don&#39;t think is uncommon. I don&#39;t know if this was fuelled by anything (I suspect it was influenced by something I saw on TV or in a film) but I used to have a lot of nightmares about the sea, particularly tidal waves (like, cartoonishly large ones) and just the idea of big creatures either emerging or (sort of worse) lurking immediately underneath the surface. I actually went through a period of not wanting to do back-stroke at my swimming classes because I kept visualising something big &quot;behind&quot; me, under the water (yes, even in a swimming pool).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Krakens, Leviathans and other giant sea-creatures are likely to be encountered more as an environmental hazard than a traditional D&amp;amp;D fight, but I think their sheer scale makes them a fun (if terrifying) element to chuck into your game. I love giant monsters. I&#39;m not, like, a big kaiju fan or anything like that, but I find there&#39;s something really compelling about a creature so big that it could destroy your life, your house, your city without even realising. Krakens also have the benefit of having a certain Lovecraftian mystique to them, emerging as they do from the inscrutable deep.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; There&#39;s a persistent fringe theory about either octopi and/or squid being somehow descended from extraterrestrial life, and while I don&#39;t buy it myself, neither species does much to properly disprove it. They&#39;re pretty weird.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://joe-sparrow.tumblr.com/&quot; style=&quot;background-color: #333333; color: #cc6600; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 13.2px; text-decoration-line: none;&quot;&gt;Joe&#39;s Tumblr&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/feeds/6282277001397059829/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/10/kraken.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/6282277001397059829'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/6282277001397059829'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/10/kraken.html' title='Kraken (Redux)'/><author><name>Joe Sparrow</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/15067296085618354721</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgezkREzb1znyXoPEaZPeY07t6gNE-d3YWlgao0XaZVkiZwyjdzIJHOLiBv3OKLzMBVE1gx0ozQ7lZu9AIRk4HUtGZGgLikluK7YPLmuatiVu4NRrKEXm_8N6KGAYF23g/s220/Joe_Sparrow_AuthorPic_218x218.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhi2sG2_p4Yra_0IHqR7UbBMWyfrt8vqZNI64c9Mvp3mXQpslsNuk5GDbhfgqvmMXaKNz3bJDun2N07VH6l7lerY7xL78-f7aCXvGHe62JvoPX2t4UQMh_gMDpjBppp5D2HVAOvSuKyf7E/s72-c/kraken05.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628266066616665000.post-5746661947860005519</id><published>2018-08-13T08:00:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2018-08-13T08:00:09.377+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="artist: blanca"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book: drow of the underdark"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="chaotic"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 12"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 15"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 17"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 19"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 20"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 22"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 23"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 25"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 3"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 5"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 7"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 9"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="evil"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="type: dragon"/><title type='text'>Deep Dragon</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5mfY326Ov1ewA7sjNsXYazOQxNVM0dG-MvQ7tEK9iuMB2hoMiKVc2u-c4LTCHuz6zF_oL5re1Ws54RHQc2UDyZSlkXUdJSMU_l9xEtysMvV06d8Be0e71-OVttNLc6VYL5ouiNnsMlama/s1600/deep+dragon.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;750&quot; data-original-width=&quot;750&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5mfY326Ov1ewA7sjNsXYazOQxNVM0dG-MvQ7tEK9iuMB2hoMiKVc2u-c4LTCHuz6zF_oL5re1Ws54RHQc2UDyZSlkXUdJSMU_l9xEtysMvV06d8Be0e71-OVttNLc6VYL5ouiNnsMlama/s640/deep+dragon.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; As one would expect, deep dragons are found deep, deep in the earth. It&#39;s not completely certain whether deep dragons are their own species, or some kind of mutated version of a true dragon. Regardless, they&#39;re just as powerful as true dragons. Surface dwellers may now give a sigh of relief as it&#39;s made known that deep dragons have no interest in leaving their dark world. They sometimes make pacts with drow, but that&#39;s mostly to keep an eye on them and make sure that whatever the drow do, it won&#39;t interfere with the deep dragon&#39;s well-being.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Deep dragons cannot be trusted. They鈥檙e especially tricky creatures, and similarly difficult to fool. Even a wyrmling is born with innate &lt;i&gt;true seeing&lt;/i&gt;, making them immune to the effects of illusions and invisibility. Older deep dragons become more attuned to their cavernous and stony environment. They start out being able to easily burrow through stone and worm their way though small cracks. By the time end of their lifespan, deep dragons can command the stone to open, close and warp as they please.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Why fight some repugnant humanoid skulking in the tunnel you&#39;ve left behind when you can simply command the tunnel to seal itself, crushing the intruder?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://blancamz.tumblr.com/&quot;&gt;Blanca鈥檚 Tumblr&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/feeds/5746661947860005519/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/08/deep-dragon.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/5746661947860005519'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/5746661947860005519'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/08/deep-dragon.html' title='Deep Dragon'/><author><name>Blanca Martinez de Rituerto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01639491330593832955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCaOc4JUKaiN7WtvvT41RiBcU6ByY9F1eqZzma21tLXoZ3sx5FmuJ8-KMViSm6zfMWCS3KOheB3OMbfHWpUm6OAgiN1kjC6LIcx2TeS4lYeziM60XD54mF6D9G0vbiUg/s220/lola2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5mfY326Ov1ewA7sjNsXYazOQxNVM0dG-MvQ7tEK9iuMB2hoMiKVc2u-c4LTCHuz6zF_oL5re1Ws54RHQc2UDyZSlkXUdJSMU_l9xEtysMvV06d8Be0e71-OVttNLc6VYL5ouiNnsMlama/s72-c/deep+dragon.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628266066616665000.post-1171457118910375437</id><published>2018-08-06T08:00:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2018-08-06T08:00:03.432+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="artist: blanca"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book: monster manual"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 3"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 9"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="evil"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="lawful"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="type: outsider"/><title type='text'>Hell Hound</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJGzRtPABqQBvwJYIibue6WKIV01lGzjWee2RM6fFNh4R0Z5mADZHmUrc42Umy1DuipllJEDBIloqE_p3ezCH9pewbzhHroay2jRA50qjHGIjr40LPrbAzBXcOCpb9DocSv15SzLkAwbzx/s1600/hellhound.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;723&quot; data-original-width=&quot;750&quot; height=&quot;616&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJGzRtPABqQBvwJYIibue6WKIV01lGzjWee2RM6fFNh4R0Z5mADZHmUrc42Umy1DuipllJEDBIloqE_p3ezCH9pewbzhHroay2jRA50qjHGIjr40LPrbAzBXcOCpb9DocSv15SzLkAwbzx/s640/hellhound.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Hell hounds are the canine companions of the servants of the denizens of Hell. Bred for size, viciousness and trainability, hell hounds can grow large enough to be used as mounts in the eternal wars between Hell and the Abyss. Wild hell hounds can also be found in wandering in packs throughout this evil plane, and while they&#39;re scrawnier than their tamed bretheren, they&#39;re also much more cunning.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Evil wizards and warlords will often summon or otherwise procure a hellhound for their own destructive needs. However, the hound&#39;s fiery breath and sulphurous smell makes them extremely hazardous to the very flammable Material Plane. Summoning, though only short-term, is probably the more sensible option if you have the means. Otherwise be ready to build stone pens. And make sure that you use good lucks; though beastly, hell hounds are smart enough to work out simpler locks.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Other wizards, fervent seekers of higher truths, also summon hell hounds in an attempt to answer a frustrating question:&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Can this hound be a Good Boy when they are, by definition, a Very Bad Dog?&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://blancamz.tumblr.com/&quot;&gt;Blanca鈥檚 Tumblr&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/feeds/1171457118910375437/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/08/hell-hound.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/1171457118910375437'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/1171457118910375437'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/08/hell-hound.html' title='Hell Hound'/><author><name>Blanca Martinez de Rituerto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01639491330593832955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCaOc4JUKaiN7WtvvT41RiBcU6ByY9F1eqZzma21tLXoZ3sx5FmuJ8-KMViSm6zfMWCS3KOheB3OMbfHWpUm6OAgiN1kjC6LIcx2TeS4lYeziM60XD54mF6D9G0vbiUg/s220/lola2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJGzRtPABqQBvwJYIibue6WKIV01lGzjWee2RM6fFNh4R0Z5mADZHmUrc42Umy1DuipllJEDBIloqE_p3ezCH9pewbzhHroay2jRA50qjHGIjr40LPrbAzBXcOCpb9DocSv15SzLkAwbzx/s72-c/hellhound.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628266066616665000.post-3026880291467245701</id><published>2018-07-08T19:28:00.001+01:00</published><updated>2018-07-08T19:36:34.395+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="artist: blanca"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book: fiend folio"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 10"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="good"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="lawful"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="type: magical beast"/><title type='text'>Shedu</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHJF-wJNVeSiqbRqY1pLd77qYbgrhCGP45Y1F6tWR2q87HVURXpnb5C5F_pWF9fqgL-6V525OYfLjLqmrNXjjsTrdSVX8p7XlfAHTGTw36hDbzVXRvwJB26e7g_HEEr-MPUO3GgNHYV85V/s1600/shedu.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;750&quot; data-original-width=&quot;750&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHJF-wJNVeSiqbRqY1pLd77qYbgrhCGP45Y1F6tWR2q87HVURXpnb5C5F_pWF9fqgL-6V525OYfLjLqmrNXjjsTrdSVX8p7XlfAHTGTw36hDbzVXRvwJB26e7g_HEEr-MPUO3GgNHYV85V/s640/shedu.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The shedim are a group of chimeric beasts somewhat related to &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dungeonsanddrawings.com/search/label/sphinx&quot;&gt;sphinxes&lt;/a&gt; and the lamassu. Though not holy in the planar sense, shedim will often work with clerics and help them with their questions. Some suspect that shedim were kings in the past, which the creatures neither confirm nor deny. These days they spend a good deal of time hopping between the Ethereal and Material planes, guarding the world from Chaos.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; So shedu/lamassu are kinda interchangeable folklorically, though some people will argue that lammasu are leonine, that shedu are bovine, that lammasu are female... But they exist more as artwork than in stories. You&#39;ll see them as these absolutely &lt;i&gt;massive&lt;/i&gt; reliefs and statues from Mesopotamia. These statues are really neat because they have a little bit of trickery going on. The shedu is &lt;a href=&quot;https://www.flickr.com/photos/7652577@N05/38833731875&quot;&gt;carved with five legs&lt;/a&gt;, but not in a way that implies that it actually has five legs. Looking at it from the front, you only see the two front-most legs, showing that the shedu is standing there, guarding. From the side, you see four legs, showing the creature walking instead of standing (one of the front legs is hidden by the profile).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; (The shedu in the &lt;i&gt;Fiend Folio&lt;/i&gt; is supposed to have five legs, but I couldn&#39;t make it look good, so the drawing only has four).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Like I said, there aren&#39;t that many stories about them that I&#39;ve found. Apparently they show up in &lt;i&gt;The Epic of Gilgamesh&lt;/i&gt;, but I&#39;ve only been able to find mentions of bulls without specifying whether they have wings and human heads. But they seem to be associated with celestial bodies. So I made the shedu out of space.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://blancamz.tumblr.com/&quot;&gt;Blanca鈥檚 Tumblr&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/feeds/3026880291467245701/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/07/shedu.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/3026880291467245701'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/3026880291467245701'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/07/shedu.html' title='Shedu'/><author><name>Blanca Martinez de Rituerto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01639491330593832955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCaOc4JUKaiN7WtvvT41RiBcU6ByY9F1eqZzma21tLXoZ3sx5FmuJ8-KMViSm6zfMWCS3KOheB3OMbfHWpUm6OAgiN1kjC6LIcx2TeS4lYeziM60XD54mF6D9G0vbiUg/s220/lola2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHJF-wJNVeSiqbRqY1pLd77qYbgrhCGP45Y1F6tWR2q87HVURXpnb5C5F_pWF9fqgL-6V525OYfLjLqmrNXjjsTrdSVX8p7XlfAHTGTw36hDbzVXRvwJB26e7g_HEEr-MPUO3GgNHYV85V/s72-c/shedu.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628266066616665000.post-3815985711490123341</id><published>2018-07-02T11:21:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2018-07-02T11:21:17.147+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="artist: joe"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book: monster manual"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 5"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="type: undead"/><title type='text'>Mummy</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEierebZIuLtYaLyDJptjudATD883s68k4G2D0nvFpKiiGANpdYtUr69RXLxIHgiacnPgCpy7u8N0OS6DhWqIRjlifwmqQD2LVI_bENv29oVfLBvHPlyi0IyGk1JaaK7MX7cb28Y6GDAF88/s1600/mummy_v09.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;1600&quot; data-original-width=&quot;1560&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEierebZIuLtYaLyDJptjudATD883s68k4G2D0nvFpKiiGANpdYtUr69RXLxIHgiacnPgCpy7u8N0OS6DhWqIRjlifwmqQD2LVI_bENv29oVfLBvHPlyi0IyGk1JaaK7MX7cb28Y6GDAF88/s640/mummy_v09.png&quot; width=&quot;622&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: left;&quot;&gt; &lt;i&gt;The elvish archaeologists who broke open the tomb of Ilexandra, Fifth Mage-regent of the Riverlands, were overjoyed at their find.

Especially any other creature who have the disgusting physical defect of &lt;i&gt;not having scales&lt;/i&gt;. These Scaleless Ones are becoming increasingly troubling, what with their insistence on learning magic. This has forced that hands of yuan-ti lords, making them train elite groups of mages which expand on the race&#39;s natural spellcasting capabilities. Thus were created the mageslayers.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; While the mageslayer has a couple of offensive spells (namely &lt;i&gt;fireball&lt;/i&gt;, &lt;i&gt;burning hands&lt;/i&gt; and &lt;i&gt;acid splash&lt;/i&gt;), most of it&#39;s magic is geared towards espionage and quick, deadly takedowns. Yuan-ti favour sneak attacks over anything that calls attention to themselves. Take out the enemy slowly, one by one. If this is impossible, retreat. So the yuan-ti mageslayer will disguise itself, either as a disgusting Scaleless One, a pitiful but graceful small viper, or simply condescend to blend into their surroundings. Disenchant enemy weapons and block the abilities of any spellcasters. Lure them down wrong paths with invisible hands. And when the last intruder is left alive, grab him, and teleport away with your soon-to-be precious sacrifice.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://blancamz.tumblr.com/&quot;&gt;Blanca鈥檚 Tumblr&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/feeds/5441031570450999172/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/06/yuan-ti-mageslayer.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/5441031570450999172'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/5441031570450999172'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/06/yuan-ti-mageslayer.html' title='Yuan-Ti Mageslayer'/><author><name>Blanca Martinez de Rituerto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01639491330593832955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCaOc4JUKaiN7WtvvT41RiBcU6ByY9F1eqZzma21tLXoZ3sx5FmuJ8-KMViSm6zfMWCS3KOheB3OMbfHWpUm6OAgiN1kjC6LIcx2TeS4lYeziM60XD54mF6D9G0vbiUg/s220/lola2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiknR4A9qhs_xsUEn3o7VZ09aWr6rirdlb7ec9ZKoqA80e3zzdp_2hoXfcJstsF4I8jIveCbHt2TGnYV-qxAB9jgWnQikXYHb1odisQ9a0JbzaKxG5Bboxq7VPao8dmmn7p3kwKDVB8_r_p/s72-c/yuanti+mageslayer.jpg" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628266066616665000.post-9206996587378349726</id><published>2018-06-18T08:00:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2018-06-18T10:16:23.275+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="artist: blanca"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book: oriental adventures"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR +2"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 7"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="evil"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="lawful"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="type: undead"/><title type='text'>Pennaggolan</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQqOiZNAusNKd-T9udS6Us9G1B5opso_zTBnwTjmLX01-_d6uHlqKqkKgBbZCx9ngXcgxW3N0z355Lq8FjP_9mGX8348OvTZ7jBZ0xf3Th7fEKUMWa_NmFkhxvvfTwa2S1Gd0Udijc8Bq4/s1600/pennaggolan.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;884&quot; data-original-width=&quot;750&quot; height=&quot;640&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQqOiZNAusNKd-T9udS6Us9G1B5opso_zTBnwTjmLX01-_d6uHlqKqkKgBbZCx9ngXcgxW3N0z355Lq8FjP_9mGX8348OvTZ7jBZ0xf3Th7fEKUMWa_NmFkhxvvfTwa2S1Gd0Udijc8Bq4/s640/pennaggolan.png&quot; width=&quot;542&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The pennaggolan is a type of almost exclusively female vampires. Like most vampires, they are nocturnal, but are immune to the dangers of sunlight. By day, the pennaggolan appears as a normal woman, but at night the head detaches itself from the body, dragging its entrails along with it and flies away. It often stalks lonely roads and houses, throttling travellers and feeding on their blood.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The best way to defeat a pennaggolan in to find its vacant body. The body can be destroyed, leaving the vampire permanently exposed in its gory from. Alternatively, the body (currently hollow) can be filled with thorns or broken glass, so that the pennaggolan&#39;s guts are lethally shredded when it tries to re-attach itself.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; This creature come from Malaysian mythology. In the Malaysian tales, the pennaggolan (alternate names pennanggalan, hantu pennangal, balah-balah...) is usually a midwife. Some legends I&#39;ve found say that the midwives make deals with spirits for supernatural powers, but fail to hold up their part of the bargain and get cursed to become these monsters. The pennagolan perches on the roof of a house containing children, pregnant women or women in labour, and feeds on their blood with an invisible tongue. Like in other vampire tales, the victim eventually contracts a wasting disease and dies.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; When the pennaggolan returns home, she soaks her guts in vinegar to shrink them, so she can squeeze back into her body. Getting out is easy, but &lt;i&gt;you &lt;/i&gt;try squeezing lungs and metres of intestines back in through a narrow neck-hole. Since the darkness can hide the face of a pennaggolan, sometimes the best way to tell if a woman is a monster or not is if she smells really strongly of vinegar.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; There are a lot of variants of this monsters across East Asia. The Phillipines have the manananggal (detaches its upper body from its lower body), Bali has the leyak (way scarier face, also feeds on corpses), and Thailand has the krause (cursed with hunger; feeds on blood, flesh and poop).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; I remember first reading about this monster when I was really young. I think it was maybe in some spooky Halloween edition of a kids magazine or something. I was quite struck by how &lt;i&gt;weird&lt;/i&gt; it was. And also the whole protecting yourself by sticking a bunch of thorns and pointy leaves around you window. Them dangling guts don&#39;t wanna get tangled up in that mess.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Pretty reminiscent of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dungeonsanddrawings.com/2013/01/vargouille.html&quot;&gt;vargouille&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://blancamz.tumblr.com/&quot;&gt;Blanca鈥檚 Tumblr&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/feeds/9206996587378349726/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/06/pennaggolan.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/9206996587378349726'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/9206996587378349726'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/06/pennaggolan.html' title='Pennaggolan'/><author><name>Blanca Martinez de Rituerto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01639491330593832955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCaOc4JUKaiN7WtvvT41RiBcU6ByY9F1eqZzma21tLXoZ3sx5FmuJ8-KMViSm6zfMWCS3KOheB3OMbfHWpUm6OAgiN1kjC6LIcx2TeS4lYeziM60XD54mF6D9G0vbiUg/s220/lola2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQqOiZNAusNKd-T9udS6Us9G1B5opso_zTBnwTjmLX01-_d6uHlqKqkKgBbZCx9ngXcgxW3N0z355Lq8FjP_9mGX8348OvTZ7jBZ0xf3Th7fEKUMWa_NmFkhxvvfTwa2S1Gd0Udijc8Bq4/s72-c/pennaggolan.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628266066616665000.post-8939433171245119073</id><published>2018-06-10T08:00:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2018-06-10T08:00:13.882+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="artist: blanca"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book: heroes of horror"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="chaotic"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 8"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="evil"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="type: aberration"/><title type='text'>Corruption Eater</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIsU0IwOJ-KaQrdCzIIU4Q_GRXaISCyuabe1y__sXbDDKpXdLTMKaeSsbfXnZ7d8pjsdTdrlUfrBkANpt4mAvJ2QoUMYhghBzCuozlbd8G0B7Zf3jo4qKWmq2Kvv8A_Ft2pO3_jLe_9wnu/s1600/corruption+eater.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;536&quot; data-original-width=&quot;750&quot; height=&quot;456&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIsU0IwOJ-KaQrdCzIIU4Q_GRXaISCyuabe1y__sXbDDKpXdLTMKaeSsbfXnZ7d8pjsdTdrlUfrBkANpt4mAvJ2QoUMYhghBzCuozlbd8G0B7Zf3jo4qKWmq2Kvv8A_Ft2pO3_jLe_9wnu/s640/corruption+eater.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; The corruption eater is a type of aberration that feasts on the festering evil that wears down the soul. Encountering a corruption eater is both a good and bad thing. Good because it can cleanse you of the aforementioned festering evil; bad because getting cleansed still really really hurts and it can get mad when there&#39;s no more food left. The corruption eater uses it&#39;s stretchy tentacles to immobilize its target, then wraps the victim up in its hole-filled tongue to feed.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; So you know how the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dungeonsanddrawings.com/2018/06/totem-giant.html&quot;&gt;other week&lt;/a&gt; I was talking about all the alternate magicky-magic things that D&amp;amp;D has? Well the &lt;i&gt;Heroes of Horror &lt;/i&gt;book introduces the concept of taint: the corrupting influence of evil magic which wears you down both mentally and physically. As the taint increases, you weaken gaining a number of penalties that can result in death or complete madness (essentially death since the DM takes over your character).&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; However, certain feats, prestige classes or types of magic are only available to characters that are suffering from taint. This can result in a delicate balancing act of making sure that your taint stays above a certain level without actually being killing you.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Taint can be cured with certain spells, but a lot of them are quite high-level or expensive, so I like to think that maybe some smaller towns have a corruption eater locked away for medical purposes. Kinda like a leech. Or evil chemo. Just stick your hand in this hole. It&#39;ll hurt for a while, but we&#39;ll pull you back out once your eyes regrow and you stop craving human flesh.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Of course having a corruption eater holed up in your town would probably increase the ambient taint of the area, since you&#39;re harbouring an evil creature. Six and two threes.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://blancamz.tumblr.com/&quot;&gt;Blanca鈥檚 Tumblr&lt;/a&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/feeds/8939433171245119073/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/06/corruption-eater.html#comment-form' title='2 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/8939433171245119073'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/8939433171245119073'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/06/corruption-eater.html' title='Corruption Eater'/><author><name>Blanca Martinez de Rituerto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01639491330593832955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCaOc4JUKaiN7WtvvT41RiBcU6ByY9F1eqZzma21tLXoZ3sx5FmuJ8-KMViSm6zfMWCS3KOheB3OMbfHWpUm6OAgiN1kjC6LIcx2TeS4lYeziM60XD54mF6D9G0vbiUg/s220/lola2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIsU0IwOJ-KaQrdCzIIU4Q_GRXaISCyuabe1y__sXbDDKpXdLTMKaeSsbfXnZ7d8pjsdTdrlUfrBkANpt4mAvJ2QoUMYhghBzCuozlbd8G0B7Zf3jo4qKWmq2Kvv8A_Ft2pO3_jLe_9wnu/s72-c/corruption+eater.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>2</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7628266066616665000.post-900468251905337495</id><published>2018-06-04T08:00:00.000+01:00</published><updated>2018-06-06T12:21:39.633+01:00</updated><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="artist: blanca"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="book: magic of incarnum"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="chaotic"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="CR 10"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="lawful"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="neutral"/><category scheme="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#" term="type: giant"/><title type='text'>Totem Giant</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;/div&gt; &lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbl95U_LcrPHmeS5SoVGEeXT6IK-FrCPLFZAsvPJ5ed5l37y16XHkx-tNwtx9fx022LPNc9JIqo2FxDk0-b-Gq4ihDZl6XKOEasMUgykmwKpODqtkwBJeo40D01ZX8iSALrWk86vYuYv4g/s1600/totem+giant.png&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; data-original-height=&quot;744&quot; data-original-width=&quot;750&quot; height=&quot;634&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbl95U_LcrPHmeS5SoVGEeXT6IK-FrCPLFZAsvPJ5ed5l37y16XHkx-tNwtx9fx022LPNc9JIqo2FxDk0-b-Gq4ihDZl6XKOEasMUgykmwKpODqtkwBJeo40D01ZX8iSALrWk86vYuYv4g/s640/totem+giant.png&quot; width=&quot;640&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Totem giants are a particular race who are especially good at manipulating incarnum, the magical force that powers everything. Avid worshippers (and hunters) of magical beasts, totem giants tattoo themselves with symbols of their favourites. These same tattoos are clues as to what kind of powers they are likely to manifest in combat. Totem giants can be found anywhere in the world, since they often use their incarnum powers to be able to survive in environments that would otherwise be deadly.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Okay, so D&amp;amp;D has soooo many different kinds of magic in it. Most people just stick to the ol&#39; arcane-divine group because magic is already complicated enough and there&#39;s twelve bajillion spells without adding an &lt;i&gt;oh but my magic works THIS way &lt;/i&gt;and bluhhhhhhh. I haven&#39;t that much into how incarnum works, but it honestly sounds kinda cool? The amount of spells you have to choose from (and are able to cast) is limited compared to the rest of the stuff, but it&#39;s kinda nice that way.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Basically you shape incarnum (this blue Force stuff) into this quasi-physical stuff called soulmelds. They&#39;re kinda like spells but also kinda like magic items you wear. But you can still use non-spell magic items you&#39;re wearing. Unless you super-bind them to you then you can&#39;t use magic items, but the incarnum spell is extra strong and give your a lot of cool stuff. And you can have a bunch of them active at the same time. It&#39;s complicated.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Okay. For example. The totem giant in the book has the Frost Helm spell. If they just manifest the Frost Helm normally, it basically allows them to live in super-cold environments and get resistance to cold. If you were wearing some magic item on your head (ex: circlet that grants you telepathy) you&#39;d still be able to use the telepathy. But if you super-bind the Frost Helm spell you can get a buncha cool abilities (a cold breath weapon or a stunning sonic shriek), but the power of the spell overrides the power of whatever magic item you have at the time.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; Like I said, it&#39;s complicated.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; But I kinda wanna play this system and use this giant chick? I probably wouldn&#39;t be able to use her since she&#39;s a giant and that&#39;s not a playable race. I guess I could use a half-orc or a goliath but it&#39;s not the saaaaame. I wanna be huuuuuge.&lt;br /&gt; &lt;br /&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://blancamz.tumblr.com/&quot;&gt;Blanca鈥檚 Tumblr&lt;/a&gt; </content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/feeds/900468251905337495/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/06/totem-giant.html#comment-form' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/900468251905337495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7628266066616665000/posts/default/900468251905337495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://dungeonsanddrawings.blogspot.com/2018/06/totem-giant.html' title='Totem Giant'/><author><name>Blanca Martinez de Rituerto</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/01639491330593832955</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='32' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgCaOc4JUKaiN7WtvvT41RiBcU6ByY9F1eqZzma21tLXoZ3sx5FmuJ8-KMViSm6zfMWCS3KOheB3OMbfHWpUm6OAgiN1kjC6LIcx2TeS4lYeziM60XD54mF6D9G0vbiUg/s220/lola2.png'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgbl95U_LcrPHmeS5SoVGEeXT6IK-FrCPLFZAsvPJ5ed5l37y16XHkx-tNwtx9fx022LPNc9JIqo2FxDk0-b-Gq4ihDZl6XKOEasMUgykmwKpODqtkwBJeo40D01ZX8iSALrWk86vYuYv4g/s72-c/totem+giant.png" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry></feed>
