I'm preparing for a game Saturday in Slayers d20. Been a bit busy and I have an evil party like scenario coming up. I have no doubt I'll get this done, but I thought I'd check at Giantitp in case someone had a nifty idea. I think this will be a pretty fun fight for them, and I want to make it as good as possible. Interested? Read the spoilers below.
So, in a shallow tribute to Flogging Molly, they're going to be facing a group of pirate called the Seven Deadly Sins... in the middle of the woods (long backstory there). The idea is to have one themed after each of the 7 deadly sins. So:
*1 Lust
*2 Gluttony
*3 Greed
*4 Sloth
*5 Wrath
*6 Envy
*7 Pride
They're all level 9. For those of you that don't know Slayers d20, it's essentially 3.5 D&D with slightly altered core classes, some really powerful racial templates, and a massively revamped casting system that actually balances casters to fighters by making spell-casting cost HP rather than spell-slots.
If you're not familiar with slayers d20, you can be fairly specific for melee and skill monkey classes (as there's usually an analogue), but you'll have to be a bit more general for casters (ie. Healer, blaster mage, etc).
Anyway, I was thinking the following:
*1 Lust- Party face. High charisma, inflicts embarassment damage. So, typical barbed tongue/glib build. Probably will make male just for the sake of forsaking expectations.
*2 Gluttony- High fort save, toughness feat taken 3 times (this version give 1 hp a level), 22ish con, half-troll template. Go mostly with Warrior levels.
*3 Greed- Sleight of hand checks, improved disarm, and quick draw. Unarmed melee character. Probably rogue with some warrior levels.
*4 Sloth- Party healer and white mage. Yeah... That's really the best I can come up with.
*5 Wrath- Blaster mage that shoots empowered fireballs and forked flare arrows at the closest thing in range, even if it hits him or his party members. Will likely go beserk on the first person that attacks him.
*6 Envy- No freaking clue other that they're second in command.
*7 Pride- No freaking clue other than typical team leader with either pure levels in rogue or bandit.
So yeah. As you can see, I'm have a little trouble with some of them, and I'm completely open to suggestion on the others. Party balance is not too big of an issue. My players have a decently balanced team of 7 level 9 characters themselves, and they're equipped better and have an ally. I'll inevitably come up with something, but I always enjoy some of the things the people at giantitp come up with. So, I thought I'd come to you and see what you guys can come up with.
