I need more experience building monsters (or more specifically figuring out the CR) and I also need to stat out all the weird little monsters for my campaign. So I'm gonna post a monster or two a week to this thread to see what people think and to increase my skill at building freaks a bit.   

Currently The majority of monsters i need to do are contructs, magical beasts (most of them based on bad puns), or goofy takes on classic critters. Any ideas on which you'd like to see first?  EDIT  Here's a list of the current critters

I'd be much obliged if you could stat me out a Ceratosaur Effigy, with the special attacks of the Tyrannosaurus. If you don't have Serpent Kindgoms, a regular Tyrannosaurus is fine. If you don't have Complete Arcane... um... nevermind.

Lemme see if I have Serpent Kingdoms and I'll put it up in the Dinosaur Menagerie tomorrow.

When I asked what did people want to see I kinda meant a general class such as Magical Beast, Aberration, etc. Got some weird ones in mind.


Will be starting with the Were Kitten Template unless theres a monster type people would rahter see.

Oh, well, for general classes, my vote goes for Abberation.

Well since your the only responder Aberrations it is :D

Lesee...I have variants of the Umber Hulk (Teal, Burnt Sienna, Chartreuse), the Beholder (Yellow, Cyclops, Mutants), my version of Living Spells, and the occasional variant of classic Aberrations. Any you'd prefer I stat first (keep in mind these are for a campaign mostly based on comedy).

Okay I get out of work early tomorrow so the monster making will begin then. Will be concentrating on the Speaker, and the Voyeur (Beholder variants), and then a few tentacled suid monsters for tryco from a horror campaign i once helped work on before it went poof.

"Before you floats a sphere so black it almost fades into the shadows behind it. You barely make out a mouth with needle like fangs, and a great staring eye before it flees into the distance. The fact that it's a horrifying monster that could have attacked isn't as disturbing to you as the realization that it's spent the last several moments watching you poop."

The Voyeur is a mutated Beholder-kin raised in the city of Koziol by the Eye Tyrants as personal spies. The Beholders find them to be something of a double edged sword as they seem to get into everyones business, set up shop as independent information brokers, let slip embarrassing personal information at the worst times, etc. Some even become bartenders. If their abilities didn't make them so useful the Eye Tyrants would probably squash them all like bugs. Plus their alignment makes them an embarrassment to the Beholder race in general. Voyeurs are about 4' in diameter, and weigh about 185 pounds. They speak Beholder and Common.

Eye Rays (Su): The Voyeur has 3 eyes on retractable stalks that it can use to fire rays up to 100'. The rays resemble spells cast by an 6th level caster and have a Save DC of 13 (Save DC is Charisma Based). The rays follow the rules for spell rays (see Aiming A Spell, page 175 of PHB). The 3 rays include:

Paralysis: The target must succeed on a Fortitude Save or be paralyzed for 2d10 minutes.

Charm Person : The target must succeed on a Will saving throw or be affected as though by the spell of the same name.

Telekinesis: The target may be moved about as per the spell of the same name if it is no more than 200 pounds.

All-Around Vision (Ex): The Voyeurs eyes give it a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks, and they cannot be flanked.

Flight (Ex): A Voyeurs body is naturally buoyant granting it a permanent Feather Fall effect as per the spell of the same name with personal range.

Revealing Gaze (Su): The Voyeurs central eye casts a beam in a 60' cone. The Voyeur is considered to have True Seeing (caster level 9th) permanently in effect in this cone as per the spell. Also, it may render any non-living matter in the cones area of effect invisible to itself, effectively allowing the voyeur to peer through walls. Other beings do not get the benefit of this effect, only the voyeur.

Retractable Eyes (Ex): All of the Voyeur's eyes, other than the central eye, are on retractable 5 foot stalks. This means the Voyeur can angle the eye rays to fire in any direction it wants, and can even hide in complete concealment and snipe at opponents in range. It may fire all 3 rays at one opponent if it wishes.

Skills: Voyeurs have a +8 Racial bonus on Hide checks as they can manipulate the color of their skin to some small effect.

Combat: For the most part Voyeurs are utter cowards. Most will take a shot or two with their Paralysis eye from behind cover, and flee if the opponent resists its effects. Beholders often use them as guards, putting a pair behind a door or wall that guards something important. If something approaches on the other side they'll see it due to their Revealing Gaze, and alert their masters. Sometimes a Beholder guards with them, and the Voyeurs use their advance info to coordinate an ambush for whatever is coming through the door. In effect, since the Voyeurs will know what’s going on, and the invaders behind the door don’t, the Voyeur and its other Beholder companions get one surprise round to attack with their eyes as the party (or whatever) bursts in blindly. If they have a Beholder with them they will try to hide and snipe with their Slow or Paralysis eye rays to help set up opponents for their master. The Charm eye is usually to charm guards into letting them pass, or similar functions.

Well thats the first one. Let me know what you think (especially about the CR!!!!!!!!!!). And if you have questions about its abilities which you think I havent defined properly.
