04-16-07, 04:33 AM i need help statting out some abominations.
basicly they consist of diffrent parts of diffrent creatures.

here's one:
this abomination has:

a small, dwarven like body, but long human legs (i think it would be a medium creature with some bonus for the legs).
guts hang-out from his abdomen (would be cool if they had some freaky ability, like strangling somebody, or giving a bonus for grapple).
three arms. two very muscle arms, one holding a great axe, the other grafted into it somekind of longsword, bastardsword thing. the last are is attached above the arm with the sword, but is very bony.
instead of a human face, an octopus face. the tentacles have no special ability exept to scare people.

could anybody make stats for this one, and teach me how to do it.
later i will post another one, and hopefully i can make stats for it myself.

thanks.

04-16-07, 10:30 AM You want help creating an Abomination eh? All right, since they're in the Epic Level Handbook, I'll assume you want it to be pretty high up there in terms of Challenge Rating, yes?

Ok, as for the size, you're thinking of a Medium creature, with a dwarf like body. Well, dwarves are actually considered medium creatures, so let's go with their base speed of 20 to start with.

Also for the hanging out guts thing, let's make it an undead one, shall we?

First off, let's start with a very basic statblock.

The table in the Epic Level Handbook gives us ballpark physical ability scores, so we'll use those, and the hitdice.

Ok, here's what we've got so far. Now, you'll have to work with us, and tell us what you really need. Also, you need to choose a theme, or a portfolio, so to speak. All abominations are descended from a god after all, so think of that, then you can figure out just what kind of spell-like abilities, and special attacks it should have. Be creative!
In my opinion, since this is a three armed critter, and it's probably evil, it might have something to do with Hextor... (though he has 6 arms...)
