Hello all. I am planning ahead for the campaign I am running based on TTYD and I'm planning the boggly woods currently. I am at a complete loss for.what the sirens should be. I've tried finding monsters that are about right but I can't find anything and if I make them like NPCs I have no clue what classes to use (maybe kineticist?) This should be a decently hard encounter. Any ideas? Thanks
Okay I have an idea. I'm gonna advance 3 shadows with levels of Kineticist. Wish me luck. This is gonna take forever
Intrigued for results.
alright, quick and dirty first draft. i'll keep working, but this may be enough to run the encounter

So... considering how strong their touch attack is, why would they use kinetic blast?
Also, how did you make the custom monster?
I literally just slapped the level two stuff from a kineticist onto the shadow stat block, also realistically they wouldn't use the blast, but because i need them to have elemental powers kineticist seemed the best fit for what they do in game. i'm open to suggestions and fixes if i flubbed up
okay. so what i'm gonna end up doing is slapping the shadow template onto some prebuilt NPCs and see how that works, scaling things up is so much paperwork
