Villain Stat Block and SRD


RPG Superstar™ 2009 General Discussion


Well I got this great idea on my villain, but it would required something from the SRD. So are we allowed to use things from the Unearthed Arcanca SRD? Or does it have to be core books only?

From the FAQ:

Can I use material from any published books in my entry?

You may use material from the Pathfinder RPG, any of the Paizo's Pathfinder products, and the 3.5 SRD as shown at www.d20srd.org. All other books are off limits (unless you're specifically directed otherwise in later rounds). Use of other content is grounds for disqualification.

So sure.

Additionally, if you take a look at last year's villain concepts in Round 3, you'll find that Unearthed Arcana SRD material made it into some of the winning entries. For example, there's a Paladin of Tyranny that showed up. I haven't seen anything implying they won't allow that material to be used again. So you should be good.

My two-cents,

d20SRD.org includes a lot of Unearthed Arcana material, so it should be safe.


So now my only concern is would what I want to do over powered due to the pathfinder changes. I'd rather not go into details unless I don't make it into the last 32 contestants.

Any way, thanks.

The good thing about Villains and monsters, they are never overpowered, there is always someone bigger and better. Just have to watch at what encounter level range you want your villain to be in so he is not going to wipe everything off of the realms in the suggested lvl range hehe.

But when we play we don't really follow closely to ECL and encounter levels, because honestly, realistically speaking, a character could run into very weak creatures or even EPIC characters. So tell me this, do you really want to start a fight with that lone human in the dark corner of the bar? HEHE
