Anyone have stats for the infamous seven monsters on the isle...specifically the scorpion?
Anyone have stats for the infamous seven monsters on the isle...specifically the scorpion?
That little "forum search" box up at the top of the list of threads? Put "infamous" up there. There are less than ten threads, at least two of which have statblocks in them.
Here's what I used for it:
CERATTAKATHA (CR 15)
Awakened Monstrous Scorpion
N Colossal Magical Beast (Augmented Vermin)
Init +7; Senses darkvision 60 ft., tremorsense 60 ft., Listen +25, Spot +4
AC 26 (–8 size, –1 Dex, +25 natural), touch 1, flat-footed 26
hp 357 (42 HD)
Resist electricity 10
Immunities vermin traits
Fort +26, Ref +17, Will +18
Spd 50 ft.
Melee 2 claws +30 (4d6+17) and
sting +28 (2d8+11 plus poison)
Space 40 ft.; Reach 20 ft.
Base Atk +31; Grp +59
Atk Options improved grab and constrict (4d6+17), Power Attack (5-point option included)
Special Atks poison (DC 35, 1d10 Con/1d10 Con), rend
Abilities Str 35, Dex 8, Con 16, Int 16, Wis 10, Cha 5
Feats Ability Focus (poison), Improved Initiative, Improved Natural Attack (claw), Improved Toughness, Multiattack, Power Attack, Powerful Charge, Power Lunge, Rend
Epic Feats Dire Charge, Energy Resistance (electrical), Epic Reflexes, Epic Skill Focus (Hide), Epic Will, Superior Initiative
Skills Climb +16, Hide +18, Listen +25, Spot +4 (includes +4 racial bonus on Climb, Hide, and Spot checks)
Charge AC 24; 2 claws +32 (4d6+29), sting +30 (2d8+17 plus poison); +6d6 damage on first claw hit
Rend (Ex) if Cerattakatha hits with both claws, it tears the flesh, automatically inflicting an additional 8d6+23 damage (includes 5-point adjustment for Power Attack)
Although the "awaken" spell specifically states that only trees and animals can be affected, this could be treated either as a special case (an incredibly ancient specimen that attained sentience), or one could invoke the Child of Winter feat (allowing vermin to be targeted as animals).
Thanks! Very helpful...and very LETHAL!!!!! I'm going to need to reduce him down to a CR 12. He would eat my current party as an appetizer. :)

Well in that case I'd recommend they stay well clear of Xiureksior, the dragon of the Seven! A very old Green is CR18 or 19, if I remember right...

Yeah, for now at least. I have already forshadowed her many times though; one of the PC's even has a necklace with one of her teeth on it. Eventually she will be presented as a Draco-lich in my Stap Campaign. For now though, they will have to settle for a scorpion TPK. LOL
Thanks again for the stats!

Just like to point out that instead of a Green Dragon I used "He-Who-Hums" and -drastically- reduced his statistics. It's a little hard for the Olman islanders to tell one giant green leathery winged lizard from another, at a distance. ;)
“He-Who-Hums” originally is an advanced CR 24 Yrthak in the Dragon Magazine which describes Ecology of the Yrthak. I forget which number specifically but it’s one of the Savage Tide Dragon Mags. Took my player completely off guard! :)
|
funnily enough, my party also encountered he-who-hums...
although not on the isle itself, it was during a sidetrek after "tides of dread" and before "city of broken idols"
they had favorable conditions (he was frozen till they woke him up, sonic damage was increased in the area) and managed to blast him with only 1.5 deaths...the druid and her animal companion were both blasted dead by the death throes, and the warmage survived due to our "die at -con score" houserule...she hit -11 or -12, IIRC.
if you use He-Who-Hums, be prepared to kill them all, as he has ridiculous HP and can easily bite/swallow/kill a lvl 12 PC in 1 turn.
(looking back, if i wanted to, i could easily have TPK'd the party with him, but went easy for some reason...don't remember why, at the moment.)
as far as the other legendary 7, i would HIGHLY recommend the beasty types (ankylosaurus, t-rex, eel) have some kind of SR. otherwise a single Ray of Stupidity (from a 4500 gp wand, nonetheless) will drop any of them in 1 shot
best of luck

Do not forget to house-rule that ray of stupidity - none of the other rays can penalize an ability score below 1. I do believe even several of the Paizonians have criticized that spell for that particular flaw in its write up.
As far as statblocks go, I have Baaragrauth and Chakaranka for you to peruse:
Baaragrauth Advanced Augmented Antagonist Caller from the Deeps
CR 14 (9+4.5 from +18 elemental HD, +0.5 from augmented antagonist)

Baaragrauth summons a fiendish dire shark to its aid (for no more than 10 minutes’ time out of a given hour) when threatened by creatures interfering with its attempts to feed on those who fall prey to its Siren Call.

Trample (ex): {4d6+24 hp bludgeoning damage}as a full-round action, Chakaranka can move up to twice its speed, literally running over any foes of no greater than Huge size. Those trampled can attempt an attack of opportunity at a -4 penalty on the attack roll OR they can attempt Reflex saving throws to take half damage (DC 39 [10+13+16 from strength]).

Swag: none, sad to say.
I ran a whole Burbalarg side quest, complete with bullywug tribe. I'll be happy to post stats if anyone is interested. In addition to Burbalarg, there's Gloragga, his bullywug druid 13 high priestess; Trebglor, the bullywug Bbn 12 tribal champion; and an assortment of summoned critters. Can't seem to put my finger on the maps I used, though.

I'd very much appericate those stats!
But please post them here. I always enjoy breathing "life" into encounters rather then just "finding a big monster."I'll see if I can scare up my CR 14 He-Who-Hums stats and post them there as well.

Go ahead and post here and anywhere else you like so long as you are on topic, which that most certainly would be. Or post in one place then link to that post in subsequent entries.
The more info, the better.
Cheers!
I have statted them out for my game, but I also made a couple of changes. I removed Burbalarg from the list and added in Chakatru, a Legendary Ape that I advanced to huge size, a CR 13 beastie. Yep, he's Kong. My players sort of expected a giant ape on the isle, so I'm giving it to them.
I also changed Xiureksor to a black dragon, because I had no less than 3 greens in my last campaign and had already had a little green dragon as a wandering monster in STAP. So I was through with greens and changed the Isle's lone dragon to a black one.
My campaign is pretty high-powered, we use gestalt rules and fast feats and an extremely generous point buy but if anyone wants copies of my versions of the Seven let me know and I'll send them to you.

Oooooo, changing the Green to Black. Maybe I get to use my Gargantuan mini (is that an oxymoron or what?) in anger.

Kirth, that's a pretty nice shambling mound! Where does the Crushing Hug feat come from? It sounds like a sweet attack, like you're killing them with kindness! :)

Yeah, thanks a million. You couldn't help yourself, eh? So I read it, said to my girlfriend, "He went and wrote Hastur Hastur ..." and then my arm fell off.
Plus the cat was sick on my printer, the windows spontaneously cracked when I looked at them, I put my socks on inside out and fell off my bike in the rain.
Curse you, servant of the mythos!
Well it's your own fault for not putting a circle of warding around yourself before saying it!
Glad you enjoyed the stats.
