| Insane Pixie04-24-05, 03:25 PM | A collection of creatures from the game Age of Mythology. Requests are welcome. Any more beasties I post will also be added up here, for easy access.

This attack deals 4d6 fire damage, provokes attacks of opportunity, and always succeeds at hitting. Since this attack does not require an attack roll, it cannot score a critical hit.

| Raymond_Luxury_Yacht04-24-05, 04:17 PM | The Wadjet. Sadly, that's one of the only ones I remember, since Age of Mythology hasn't worked on my computer for at least a year. |
| Olly04-24-05, 04:30 PM | The Wadjet. Oooh! Good call! Giant, winged, acid-spitting cobras are love. :D |

| Wyrd Bearer04-24-05, 06:05 PM | Heh heh, how about the Norse titan? Or maybe the Atlantean hekagigantes and lampades. Mmm, so many crazy units. |
| wordserpent04-24-05, 06:13 PM | I'd like t see the Annubite, if anyone wants to attempt it. Perhaps the Mask of Annubis could be a magical item that allows movement bonuses and incredible jumping abilities. Also the Jormund, Jormund Elder and the Leviathan would be a nice edition to the bestiary. |
| urial angel of death04-24-05, 06:30 PM | leviatain is already in the MM2 |

Perhaps the Mask of Annubis could be a magical item that allows movement bonuses and incredible jumping abilities.

They actually do have a Mask of Anubis, and incredible jump abilities. |
| Raymond_Luxury_Yacht04-24-05, 07:42 PM | Hmmm... How about the Carcinos now? |
| Insane Pixie04-24-05, 08:14 PM | Carcinos Gargantun Beast Hit Dice: 20d10+140 (185 hp) Initiative: +4 Speed: 10 ft. (2 squares), swim 30 ft.

| Olly04-25-05, 02:42 AM | Jump over to the classes board and check out my Anubite Warrior. They actually do have a Mask of Anubis, and incredible jump abilities. Good though it is, would it be too much to ask for the Anubite as a monster, rather than a prestige class? :bigeyes: |
| Solidcobra04-25-05, 03:04 AM | There's another thread like this one in the monsters section, where i posted the anubite... Here, i'll repost it...>_> Anubites Medium Outsider (native) Hit Dice: 4d8+16 (34 HP) Initiative: +7 Speed: 40ft Armor Class: 20 (+4 natural, +4 armor, +2 dex) Base Attack/Grapple: +4/+9 Attack: Large Sickle +9 (1d8+5) Full Attack: Sickle +7 (1d6+5), Large sickle +7 (1d8+5) Space/Reach: 5ft/5ft Special Attacks: Leap, pounce Special Qualities: Darkvision 60ft, outsider traits, wings of sand Saves: Fort +8, ref +7, will +6 Abilities: Str 20, Dex 16, Con 19, Int 10, Wis 14, Cha 8 Skills: Jump +43*, hide +10, 6 other skills of the DMs choice Feats: Power attack, improved initiative(bonus feat), two-weapon fighting Climate/Terrain: Desert Organization: Solitary, pair, pack (3-5), army (a whole lot of 'em) Challenge Rating: 3 Treasure: Standard Alignment: Usually neutral Advancement: By class Level Adjustment: +4 Called forth by powerful priests of some desert gods, and sometimes conjured by other means, these jackal-like creatures forged in the image of Anubis are warriors with amazing endurance and the frighted ability to make incredible jumps, crossing huge distances in a short time. When slain, they turn into a black-ish sand. They speak common and the language of whoever summoned them, but they generally choose just to growl and snarl at their enemies. The anubit in the statblock above has a scale mail (yeah, i know they mostly are topless, but really now...) and two sickles, one medium and one large. Wings of sand(ex): the Anubite gets a +30 modifier to his jump check, and the result is not limited by his height. Pounce(ex): the anubite may make a full attack after charging (see Leap) Leap(ex): the anubite can leap far into the sky and come crashing down on his enemies, when making a charge and with at least 30ft to any ceiling or the like, the anubite may designate any point that he can reach with a jump of 30ft height or less within 80ft of his starting point to land and make a full attack at, if the anubite chooses to power attack, he gets double the damage for his attack. (IE: Anubite power attacks for 2, he gets +4 damage) |
| Olly04-25-05, 08:56 AM | Heh heh, how about the Norse titan? Or maybe the Atlantean hekagigantes and lampades. Mmm, so many crazy units. I second the hekagigantes, and put forth the promethean. :D |
| MinionOfCthulhu04-25-05, 09:11 AM | leviatain is already in the MM2 Different concepts of the Leviatain. |
| CzarGarrett04-25-05, 09:28 AM | Quality work. I like the Laser Bear. |
| Insane Pixie04-25-05, 11:01 AM | I second the hekagigantes, and put forth the promethean. :D Ummm...where those in the expansion pack? If so, I can't really help any. |
| Wyrd Bearer04-25-05, 12:53 PM | Ummm...where those in the expansion pack? If so, I can't really help any. Yep. When I'm not running around taking care of the senile amount of papers that my professors decided to dump on me, maybe I'll get around to statting up some of the X-pac creatures. |
| Gemstone04-25-05, 01:10 PM | Heka gigantes - Four armed giant, related to the Hecatoncheires Promethean - the first men made by Prometheus. They're mostly made of clay |
| Wyrd Bearer04-28-05, 11:53 PM | Hekagigantes Huge Giant (Earth) Hit Dice: 17d8+102 (178 hp) Initiative: +1 Speed: 50 ft. (10 squares) Armor Class: 21 (2 size, +1 Dex, +12 natural), touch 9, flat-footed 20 Base Attack/Grapple: +12/+32 Attack: Slam +22 melee (2d6+12) Full Attack: 4 slams +22 melee (2d6+12) Space/Reach: 15 ft./15 ft.

Make a single unarmed attack roll. Every creature in affected area compares its Balance check result to the hekagigantes' attack roll result. Those who fail this opposed check are knocked down. Each structure and unattended object that is partially within this area takes damage equal to 1d6 + hekagigantes' strength bonus + object's hardness (max 5). Mighty Fists (Ex): The hekagigantes has improved natural attack with its slam. In addition, the hekagigantes gains the Stunning Fist feat as a bonus as well, despite not have all of its prerequisites. He may use this feat with his slams, but is otherwise subject to its normal limitations (treat its HD as levels to determine uses per day). |
| Insane Pixie04-29-05, 12:12 AM | :clap: Very nice. Before I throw it at my players, however, I'd give it Monkey Grip and four Falchions, because my players have been very bad lately.

| Wyrd Bearer04-29-05, 12:39 AM | :clap: Very nice. Before I throw it at my players, however, I'd give it Monkey Grip and four Falchions, because my players have been very bad lately.

She raises her hand, and with a smile and a gesture, you and your allies suddenly lose control and run amok. Lampades live to spread chaos and confusion. They like to avoid direct combat, preferring sublty and magic, but will wade in to finish off foes that they've incapacitated with their spells and abilities. They are always female. Lampades speak and understand Common, Abyssal, Draconic and Infernal Chaos (Su): As the spell confusion, but limited to a range of 60 feet and has a 50 ft. radius of effect (Lampades are immune to this ability). DC 21 (Will negates) and targets affected behave as if under the effects of a confusion spell for 6 rounds. A lampades can use instill Chaos once every 1d4 rounds as a standard action. Protective Aura (Su): A conscious lampades gains deflection bonus to her AC equal her Charisma mod (minimum 1). Spellcasting: A lampades can cast spells as a sorceror of equal level to her racial HD. If a lampades has actual levels in sorceror, they stack with her racial HD to determine total soceror level. (DC 17+spell level) Spells/Day 0/1st/2nd/3rd--6/8/7/5 Spells Known 0/1st/2nd/3rd--7/4/2/1 Typical spells known: Cantrips: Resistance, Detect Magic, Read Magic, Dancing Lights, Flare, Ghost Sound, Touch of Fatigue 1st: Mage Armour, Shield, Charm Person, Ray of Enfeeblement 2nd: Invisiblity, Hypnotic Pattern 3rd: Ray of Exhaustion ======= Purist AoM players may hate me for the way I've presented them, but I've taken creative license and boosted the lampades considerably compared to what they were in the expansion. I do this because it makes them a bit more of a challenge and just because I liked them in the game, so nyah! I'll make them how I want :D . |
| Olly04-29-05, 08:51 AM | How about the Son Of Osiris? Or, even better the winged hippo? :D |
| Wyrd Bearer04-29-05, 02:51 PM | How about the Son Of Osiris? Or, even better the winged hippo? :D Don't remember too much about them as I haven't played in over a year, never really used the Egyptains and didn't cheat that much. However, I do have the argus from the x-pac statted up. Argus Huge Ooze Hit Dice: 10d10+60 (115 hp) Initiative: +1 Speed: fly 20 ft. (poor)* Armor Class: 9 (2 size, +1 Dex), touch 9, flat-footed 8 Base Attack/Grapple: +7/+20 Attack: Slam +5 melee (2d6+10 plus 2d6 acid)* Full Attack: 4 Slams +5 melee (2d6+10 plus 2d6 acid)* Space/Reach: 15 ft./15 ft. Special Attacks: Acid, constrict 2d6+5 plus 2d6 acid, improved grab, acid blast Special Qualities: Blindsight 60 ft., ooze traits, a thousand eyes, slow but steady, argus flight, stoic Saves: Fort +9, Ref +4, Will +5 Abilities: Str 20, Dex 12, Con 22, Int 4, Wis 14, Cha 2 Skills: Spot +23* Feats: Alertness, Multigrab, Hover*, Power Attack* Environment: Any Organization: Solitary Challenge Rating: 10 Treasure: None Alignment: Always neutral Advancement: 1115 HD (Huge); 1630 HD (Gargantuan) Level Adjustment: *These abilities, stats, or feats have a stipulation specific to the argus and are explained within its stat block. A large green blob with four tentacles dangling below it slowly flies in a orbit around the area is is gaurding. It drifts through the air in a leisurely pace. Caustic acid drips from its form, causing little puffs of smoke to rise from pits burnt into the ground. Countless eyes adorn its body, each one of them unblinking and constantly scanning for danger. Arguses are huge flying blobs of acid that make excellent gaurdians, as their countless eyes allow them to see everything in the area at once. They are intlligent, a difference from most oozes and are surpisingly aware of their surroundings. They can obey simple orders given to them in Common, the only language they understand. They do not speak. They are slow fliers, but can hover and full attack thanks to their hover feat. They do not have wings, so they cannot kick up a dust cloud as normal for that feat. In combat, they slowly approach their enemies by flying at them in the first round. Then in the following rounds, the use full attack after full attack, using all 4 acidic tentacles to slam an opponent into submission. They power attack with their slams (already figured into the stats above). If they can, when the hit an opponent with a slam, the argus tries to grab them with its improved grab ability. The argus will then hold them with one tentacle (-10 grapple check to maintain hold, thanks to multigrab), dealing contriction damage to that creature while hitting other creatures with its remaining tentacles, grabbing them if it can. The argus can hold up to four creatures that a viable targets with its tentacles. An argus can still use its acid spray even if all its tentacles are occupied. Acid (Ex): The creature secretes a caustic acid that dissolves material that it comes in contact with. Any melee hit or constrict attack deals acid damage, and the opponents armor and clothing dissolve and become useless immediately unless they succeed on DC 21 Reflex saves. A weapons that strike an argus also dissolves immediately unless it succeeds on a DC 21 Reflex save. The save DCs are Constitution-based. The argus' acidic touch deals 21 points of damage per round to objects, but the ooze must remain in contact with the object for 1 full round to deal this damage. Constrict (Ex): An argus automatic slam and acid damage with a successful grapple check. The opponents clothing and armor take a 4 penalty on Reflex saves against the acid. An argus can constrict a foe held in its tentacle and still slam other opponents within reach with its remaining ones. Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, an argus must hit with one of its slam attacks. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can constrict. An argus can chose to maintain a hold against an opponent with just one of its tentacles (-10 grapple check) and may use its remaining, unoccupied tentacles to slam other opponents. Acid Blast (Ex): The most dreaded ability that an argus possesses. An argus can shoot a blast of acid as a full round action. This is a ranged touch attack that has a range of 60 feet and, if it hits, reduces the target to nothing more than a rapidly dissolving puddle of steaming goo. A target hit by the argus' acid blast much pass a DC 21 reflex save or be killed as they dissolve in the torrent of acid. On a passed save, they have managed to avoid most of the blast and only take 10d6 points of acid damage. (Yes, I am serious about this. The argus in the game has a blast of acid that will instantly kill any unit it hits, I've actually gone and made it more survivable). An argus that uses this ability must wait 1d4+6 rounds before it can shoot a blast of acid again. A Thousand Eyes (Ex): An argus is literally covered in countless eyes. They have all around vision, thus it cannot be flanked, and gains +8 to all spot checks. It can also take 10 on spot checks, even if rushed or in situations that would normally prevent it from doing so. Its vision is even so keen that is can see the distortions and irregularities made by the passing of invisible creatures, granting the argus blindsight of 60 ft. Slow But Steady (Ex): Moving is a full round action for an argus. It cannot run or charge into combat with its flight speed, nor can it take any other actions while it is moving. Argus Flight (Ex): Similar to beholders, the argus is naturally bouyant, but unlike the eye-tyrants, the argus does not have grace in its flight. It is a poor flier, with a speed of only 20 ft. a round, and cannot fly higher than 20 from the ground. This is because the argus's flight is more of a glorified hovering. Stoic (Ex): An argus receives a +4 on saves vs. mind affecting spells and effects. =========== *Edited for addition* Oh yeah, and here is the site (http://aom.heavengames.com/gameinfo/atlanteans/units/mythunits/) where I've been getting the inspiration for these guys. I've played the game, but its been a while, so I don't recall the exact unit specifics, so most of what I've statted out is me doing some prodigious winging it. As you all can probably tell, I'm a fan of the Atlantean civ. |

| Goodly_Knight07-12-05, 02:45 PM | think winged hippo is called a hippogrif, at least thats what they were on my Magic: The gathering cards |
| Seraph of Babel07-12-05, 03:33 PM | Interesting. I was playing the game again... Some comments. All magical beasts have darkvision 60 ft. along with low-light vision. Petsuchos I think the sunbeam should be a ranged touch attack. If you prefer to make it more like a breath weapon, then give a Ref save. Lazer Bear One of a familiar's powers is to deliver touch spells... but since the bear has no spells, the monkey familiars are somewhat redundant. If the lazer is cone, it doesn't need an attack roll, just Ref save. If it requires an attack roll, it should be ranged touch and not ranged. Also, the lazer bear should have fast healing. Wadjet How did you get DC21 for the Ref save? I think it should be Con-based, giving DC19 (10+5+4). |
| Seraph of Babel07-13-05, 03:41 AM | :whatsthis In order to maintain consistency between units, I derived HD based on the hit points a creature has in the game divided by 50. For e.g., the flying purple hippo has 720 hp in the game, so that gives 14 HD.

As it flies gracefully, rainbow trails after it. This strange creature is thought to be evolved from a normal hippopotamus (see Sandstorm, pp.193-4) in an alternate world of a different cosmology. Secret texts found in the Egyptian temples of the hippo-headed goddess Taweret reveal that this creature can be summoned with a summon monster VIII spell, augmented by a verbal spell key (Wuv Woo!). The flying purple hippo eats grass, monstrous spiders, mummies and siege engines. A typical specimen is 15 ft. long and weighs 8,000 lbs. Combat A flying purple hippo is territorial and generally aggressive towards humans. Although it is clumsy on land, it is surprisingly agile in the air. It generally attacks by flying overhead and using its breath weapon. Breath Weapon (Su): 15 ft. cone of heart-shaped crimson substance, 10d6 fire damage, Con-based DC 24 Reflex half. A flying purple hippo must wait for 1d4 rounds before using its breath weapon again. Rainbow Trail (Su): A flying purple hippo leaves behind a rainbow trail in all the spaces it has moved over. The trail lasts for 1 round and any creature in the area is subjected to a color spray effect, Cha-based DC 12 Will negates. Hold Breath (Ex): Like normal hippos, a flying purple hippo can hold its breath for a number of rounds equal to 8 x its Con score before it risks drowning. Skills: A flying purple hippo has +8 racial bonus on Swim checks. It can take 10 on Swim checks even when rushed or threatened. It can use the run action while swimming in a straight line. http://www.planetageofmythology.com/aom/cheats/cheats_wuv.jpg |
