Oh Great!

A new CR15+ Mastermind Aberration!

I can hardly waaaiiiittt... :zzz: :zzz: :zzz:

Why not another subterannean race of elves, this race with brown hair and pasty skin? Maybe this time we can make the male brewers the ones in charge! Maybe they really like human women and hate spiders! Yay! We could base them on heavy-set comic actors from the U.S. midwest! And they hate the Drow!

Yay! Let us hear it for the Drow Elves vs. the Drew Carey Elves!

Come on, let me hear your ridiculous ideas, your reduntant themes!

Or even some serious input from the alternatives from the Design and Development Column would be welcome.

Besides all of my blather, there is also this:

The reason that stuff is cliche is because it works. :)
And making opposite Drow is a funny example of what happens when you try to deviate to far from the classics. :rolleyes:

How about a Kraken rouge? He would get a -60 on his Slight of Hand but are you really going to challenge a Kraken for pocket change??

And wait till you hear about the Squid Assasian! :w00t:

Don't blame me, I voted for more fey. ;)

Although I like what can be done with this, if "underground" isn't chosen as the environment.

Underground mastermind abberrations, we have. But . . . say, forest abberrations that hide in the darkest corners of jungles, festering for decades, before blossoming into a slimy, deadly predator of things far from civilization could be fun.

C'mon, vote "forest," for a little bit of the Far Realm in our own backyard. :D
