06-27-07, 09:33 AM		I have been playing MTG for many years now and Slivers are my favorate creature type to play with. I recently just got into D&D and I would like to start designing a campaing as I gain the expirence of the game.

But what I was wondering on was how to create a custom creature. My Idea was to create the slivers in my campaign, where each individual one out have a certian ability/feat and would beable to share its ability with another sliver with in a certian range of itself.

Like how do you gage the dificutly level? or should I base them off of another monsters template in the monster manual?

06-27-07, 07:32 PM		Well, I'm not familliar with the cirtters in question, but when I design a monster I do both.

First I pick creature type (abberations, outsiders, fey...) and the Challange Rating i want them to be. Then I start building up their base stats according to the tables in the back of the monster manual.

Think of it like you're creating a character, because it's the same process. Once you pick it's Hit Dice, you know it's attack bonus, it's saves, it's skill points, and how many feats it gets.

All that's left is deciding on how much natural armor it gets, deciding on attack types and movement, and picking special abilities and qualties.

Then I compare them to monsters of the same type (abberations, outsiders, fey...) and of the same challange rating. Tweak it till it looks like a good fit, playtest it against 4 characters of the same level as it's CR, and you're done!



Now, as far as that special ability, what I'd probably do is have a chart of available special abilities (try to match them up with already existing spells to make it easier) and either roll randomly for the abilities of each individual creature or pick for each one.

Then, create another special ability that shares their spell-like abilities with other slivers within 20 or 30 feet. More than that and you have a ridiculously powerful ability, IMHO.

Anyway, hope that's helpful to you :)

07-24-07, 07:30 AM		Here's work someone over at the Realms of Evil forums made some years back. I haven't looked at it since then, and I'm not too familiar with the silvers in MtG, so I don't know how good these are.



I too was curious about the ability of slivers to attack in a swarm and since I have absolutly no life I decided to figure out 4 different CR20 encounters to see what kind of swarms slivers pull off at high levels. The following four encounters are CR 20.

Encounter 1:
128 CR 2 Metalic Slivers
32 CR 4 Slivers
32 CR 2 Slivers
1 CR 15 Sliver Queen
1 Cr 17 Sliver Wrangler

Encounter 2:
128 CR 4 Slivers
256 CR 2 Slivers

Encounter 3:
256 CR 4 Slivers

Encounter 4:
512 CR 2 Slivers

Together that would be a single CR 20 dungeon with four encounters and a total of well over a thousand slivers. This assumes nonadvanced slivers.

Now on a seperate note I love the idea that muscles increase the sliver's size as well as the number of HD. That could replace their advancement table.

HD: 4d8+12 (hp: 30)
Initiative: +5 (+3 Dex, +2 Queen Control)
Speed: 30 ft.
AC: 16 (-1 Size, +3 Dex, +4 natural)

Any sliver corpses brought to within 30 ft. of the Taskmaster are also animated. Any slivers leaving the 30 ft. area remain animated, but are uncontrolled. NOTE: Skeleton Slivers no longer give nor recieve aura bonuses from other slivers. Also a Taskmaster's Aura does not animate the Taskmaster when it dies (as it's aura stops).
Psionics (Su): The Taskmaster Sliver can detect thoughts at will. As all Slivers, a Taskmaster Sliver is innately telepathic, and in constant communication with any nearby Slivers. This means that as long as a single Sliver is aware of a situation or event, all others in the same plane are automaticaly aware as well (so, no such thing as surprised Slivers).
Queen Control (Su): Like all Slivers, the Taskmaster Sliver is under the direct control of the brood's Queen. In effect, the Queen knows and directs the actions of all the Slivers in the brood. This coordination grants a +2 insight bonus to all Sliver Initiative checks (but not to the Queen's).

This is not figured into the sliver's stats above.
Psionics (Su): The Razor Sliver can detect thoughts at will. As all Slivers, a Stinging Sliver is innately telepathic, and in constant communication with any nearby Slivers.

The Sliver Queen is a massive coil of bulbous flesh that rarely moves unless needed to. Though large and apparently inmmobile, the Queen is deceptively fast. Her fast reflexes and natural mobility allow her to make attacks that are completely unexpected. This allows for completely surprised foes, that thought they were at a safe distance, being brutally attacked. Though the Queen dislikes having to resort to this strategy. Normally relying on her Sliver children to protect her. Slivers are ferocious predators, quickly stripping the area around their hive of all plant and animal life (and rich ores of metals and gems, too) and expand to satisfy their needs.
The Queen can coomunicate with any living creature via a limited form of Telepathy to a range of 100'.

Spawn Slivers - The Sliver Queen gives birth to all the slivers around. Sometimes, though, she creates extraordinarily large and powerful versions of the normal slivers. She will create 1d4+1 Slivers that are magical bests, like the Queen, and have 3 HD above normal, at least. These slowly develop into the other species over a period of 1 month, depending on what species they spend the most time around.
Telepathic Link - This link allows complete control of all slivers within 200 yards as though they were extensions of her body, and any sliver outside of that range attacks any living creature unless under different orders from the Queen.
