Ront Iron-Roar 08-03-06, 03:44 PM	Have any of you guys ever made a monster only to find out later that a similar creature has been made officially either before or shortly after you post your creature?
Sorcen_Anenooata 08-03-06, 04:31 PM	Yes, just this morning actually about my radiant template. Apparently it was done before in Dragon magazine #321.
cwslyclgh 08-03-06, 04:58 PM	similar yeah, but not any where close to actually identicle.
Return of the Flumph 08-03-06, 05:01 PM	Same here. The Wendigo rendered my Kushtaka obsolete, and the Murderjack filled the same niche as my Creeper. Ah well.
Talisman 08-03-06, 06:04 PM	What? No!...never! Nope, everything I've ever made remains COMPLETELY original! Really! )Talisman looks around nervously(
ziggy_killroy 08-04-06, 01:05 AM	I stated up an Origami Golem in 2003. It was nearly point for point the same as the Paper Golem which appeared not to long ago in Dragon.
Lord_Canius 08-04-06, 01:23 AM	My Hex Luminae is like something I thought I saw either in the Fiend Folio or Libris Mortis, which I bought not long AFTER I made the Hex Luminae. However, they are only the same in shape (scorpion-like with 4 claws instead of a head).
RoCkEtInToXiCaTe 08-04-06, 01:29 AM	I mean, I've made many s-CRY-ed Alter Powers, Mewtwo, and the RahXephon into the d20 system (Failed miserably at the Mewtwo and RahXephon, though). Does that count?
pileobone 08-04-06, 09:50 AM	I can't say I've discovered any of my creatures elsewhere, however that could be due in large part to the fact that the only monster book I own is the MM 3.5. What can I say? I'm cheap. :rolleyes:
Golem011 08-04-06, 10:02 AM	Yeah, I've found that a couple of times...
savant_warlord13 08-04-06, 10:17 AM	Only for animals and such
SquirrelMortis 08-04-06, 10:19 AM	Yeah. I was wondering why the half-fiend template always made the people look the same. I was brainstorming how to fix that when POOF! wizards comes out with 'Half-Fiendish Variety'. It makes me MAD!!! Grrr, SquirrelMortis Hulk Smash WORLD!!!! :banghead:
BladefellMaster 08-04-06, 12:33 PM	Happened several times. I had the frostfell creatures, based off the winterwolf so anything could be like one, and then they put out frostburn. I had the corphals and then they put out libris mortis and the necropolitian. I agree with squirrelMortis, but I'll let him smash the world and I'll pick up the peices.
obrysii 08-04-06, 02:20 PM	I made a Dire Tortoise on the boards a long time ago, long before the rather poor version showed up in Sandstorm.
Ront Iron-Roar 08-09-06, 04:55 PM	Yeah. I was wondering why the half-fiend template always made the people look the same. I was brainstorming how to fix that when POOF! wizards comes out with 'Half-Fiendish Variety'. It makes me MAD!!! Grrr, SquirrelMortis Hulk Smash WORLD!!!! :banghead: Yeah, I thought that up and even came up with a system for it before wizard's did thier article on it. Guess enough of us made threads about half-fiends and such.
Prak, the Mad 08-09-06, 05:43 PM	a couple times I thin, can't remember what specifically though, except the squirrels in MM4, I created something like them a while ago, now I just wish we had stats for normal squirrels...
speeblefreak 08-09-06, 06:07 PM	I put together a weapon-bonded template, and then out comes Eberron with its warforged. Ooooh! :tantrum: Then this morning I found Dungeon Siege's twisted mucosa very similar to my arachnitaur mutant.
Athanatos 08-09-06, 06:35 PM	I had this idea one time. It was called an "Owl-Bear". Shows how ignorant I am.
