Critters on the loose

[Matthew Morris]

I'll discuss my (worthless) opinions when I get home, but there are two that jump out at me, so I don't know where that last vote goes... boy this is going to be tricky. Not that it's two cool the rest meh, more as 'two rock, and the other 6, some of them are so close...'

Yeah, I've spent 2 votes. No clue on what to do with the 3rd yet.

Edit: I think I may have a 3rd contender but I want to read over them again.

I was a little disappointed that there were no clear synergies between any of the thematically linked monsters. The closest I remember is one of Boomer's baddies bring on the blindness, and another having sneak attack.

Also, the themes were either weak or non-existent in most of the entries.

At least the CR range was pretty good. Most fell into the "useability" range of the games I run.

Smilodan:

Russ Taylor's 'Arbor Mortis' can redirect damage onto their Shambler minions. Or do you look for something else when you write synergies, such as supporting with spells/effects, in which case I believe that Neil McClean's Bloodbound Decriers support their Haemogoblin minions in that way.

I might have to re-read those.

I'm suffering from statblock fatigue right now.

Understandable.

After reading through all of them I have two clear favorites as well. I need to go through them all again to decide where my final vote will go. There are two or three others that are in tier 2 and I'll have to decide on which one makes it.

hmm must be a lot easier with only eight entries. It took me forever to get through the countries! No clear favorite yet, but then I just now remembered that today is Thursday and Thursday is the day I have been waiting for. and I do have to work.
