I am inspired by the character creation coolness that is RavingDork, so I thought I would begin a thread as he has done, posting some of my favorite creations in a shameless bid for worldwide fame and adulation. Or just the occasional "that's cool" would do as well, I'm easy. ;)
So with no further ado, let me start with my first evil duo. I give you:
Randy SilverWind and his fair maid, Marion.
I'm new to this and using Google Drive, which I'm not really familiar with, so let me know if anything isn't working and I'll try and fix the problem.
Also; Disclaimer! As with RD's creations, feel free to use these in personal games and for general PC-bashing happy-fun-time, but refrain from doing anything that would turn a profit or entail lawyerish-type people becoming involved. Is cool? Is cool!
Dotting. I'll have to make a place like this of my own eventually.
Ok, here's .PDF versions so you no longer need to download them to look at them.

Marion sounds fun. Nice job.
Here is a recent creation. It's a revved up rat swarm with a hive mind and a tweaked Worm That Walks template. Guaranteed to freak out your players who have seen it all. ;)
I like it so far. I would love for it to be able to cast a sonic or mind affecting spell by having mass amounts of the rats open their mouths and either screech or sing.
I can picture it now, the rats begin to flow upward forming the body accompanied by the shrieking sounds of tone deaf rats singing. That would certainly make me freeze for a second.
Spells are mutable, just select what you like and flavour to taste. I chose the ones I did for mainly ease in hunting. And for the cinematic chase scene being hampered by a raging blizzard or slimy tentacles bursting up out of the ground to grab and clutch at you while you're running past.
Thank you, Now I have the urge to go and watch The Thing again.
BWAHAHA!! Yes, just like that!!! :D
*edit* I gotta say though, I'm not happy with the name, Rat That Walks. It's a placeholder until I can think of a better one, but so far no luck. I'm open to ideas...
The "rat gestalt" maybe? I cant help but think of the "rat king" from planescape torment, which was this super intelligent collective of rats.
Maybe the name from Ps:T; the collective of brain rats was called "Many-As-One".
Nice Ilja, I had forgotten the Ps:T name.
@williamoak- a bit generic for my tastes, although technically accurate.
@Ilja- Very nice! I like that format, sort of Borg-esque!
What about One-From-Many, or One-From-All? Hmmmm, that invokes Three Musketeers to me, actually...
All-That-Crawl? Maybe...
Many-United? Sounds like a football club...
Rodent-y Wave of Chittering Doom? Now I know I've been awake too long!
The mickey mouse club?
The Icky Most Club!
I'm still tired, can you tell?
Not at all.
Better then the Icky moist hub.
Another little bundle of joy that I just finished cleaning up and putting into RD's fantastic template! (Thanks, RD!)
I give you Creshkin!
He's built for speed and has a nasty habit of running things over. Watch out, he doesn't give a warning "beep, beep!"
I'm not too crazy about it but the concept is interesting.
He was a thought experiment. I always liked Quicklings, and I wondered how fast I could make them. Then, once I discovered that, I wondered if I could make something useful as well. This is the result. Not sure if he'd be effective, or even playable, but he was fun to create. :)
Alright he can go fast, but how fast could he slow down? If he were to trip/slip would he turn into a missile?
My latest toy. Maybe he should be subtitled "Fun with templates"?
Drogar is a vicious, murdering beast, but deep down he's just an immoral killing machine. Hmmm, that came out wrong. Let's explain that a different way...
Drogar is the result of a half-fiend ogre and an orc slave. He gained attention when he killed his mother during birth, by stretching in the birth canal. When he killed his father in a fit of childish temper when he was six, that was when the glabrezu Neshmelzeth, the demon which sired Drogar's father, took notice. Grooming him for years until the young ogrekin was willing to accept the demon's possession, Neshmelzeth is in awe of the the sheer power in the young ogre-kin. Guiding him in various ways to develop, refine and hone that physical strength, Drogar has become an immensely powerful killing engine. But, despite the demonic coaxing and being demon-possessed, Drogar himself merely wants to have fun and explore. Killing is simply something that Drogar is very, very good at, but its not something he's very interested in. But he's not very bright without Neshmelzeth and he knows it, so he usually goes along with his Grandfather's suggestions to make the Old Man happy. For what's a few lives in the face of a Grandfather's smile?
I like him. He and Creshkin would make it look like the number 10 was walking around. What would you call his CR though, I believe the math ads up to an 11, correct? Of course, with a +7 to his will save, it'll be a short time before a creature or PC has a pack mule with a carrying capacity of "yeah, he can carry that."
Actually, his CR is at least 14 with the added templates, although I'd be tempted to jack it up one more. That would give him a SR of 25. Now, I've done very little gaming with SR involved, so I admit I have no idea how hard that would be for an average 13-15th level spellcaster to beat, but it does lower the odds of him becoming a happy-go-lucky packhorse. Combine it with the Cap of the Free Thinker and he gets two shots at that saving through. Yeah, two shots with a +7 is still lousy odds, but it beats only one shot at making it. Since he won't be casting wish anytime soon, maybe he'll take a few levels in fighter next, take the unbreakable archetype for some Will save bonuses.
And him and Creshkin would be an awesome pair, although I think it would be more like a star and planet. A deadly, black hole of a star with a vicious little death-dealing planet.
Oops, speaking of inescapable grasps, just noticed Drogar's CMB and CMD are way off. I'll have to fix that later. For now, it's beddy-bye time!
Here's the new Drogar, with his updated CMB/CMD.
As an aside, is there a way using Google Drive to update a file without having to fix it offline then upload a new version? I just invalidated the link in the above post, which is likely to cause some confusion.
Here's a critter I created a few years back. I dusted him off, updated and tweaked him and now I present him for your review.
You've heard of people sometimes having a monkey on their back? How about an evil little monkey that uses you as a source for it's magic? A demonic little fey that rides you like a beast, hollowing you out while making you love it.
