I'm working on a set of homebrew'd outsider races, intended to replace the standard Evil outsiders for my own campaign world. (Demons and Devils and what not simply don't mesh conceptually with the lore of this campaign.)
I intend to have five races, with ECLs 0, 5, 10, 15, and 20. I've currently made three, which can be seen in the [Frozen Immortals] link in my sig. Conceptually they're as thus:
Messengers- ECL 0, basically the worker ants of the Frozen Immortal society. If a campaign brought the PCs into this realm, the Messengers would be roughly on par with goblins and other minor mooks.
Soldiers- ECL 5, these are the Proud Warrior Race Guys. If the Frozen Realm ever mobilized an army, these would be the rank-and-file.
Brutes- ECL 10. Minotaurs, Ogres, Trolls, whatever. The big angry monster that busts in and starts breaking things. Tough customers, but not very bright.
That's what I've got. My problem right now is decided what to do with the last two spaces, ECLs 15 and 20. I'd kinda like them to follow archetypes, with the ECL 20s being most likely some sort of Balor/Pit Fiend amalgam. Only, y'know, icey instead of on fire.
My question to the playground is basically just "what would be some cool things to make as the highest-ranking outsiders in this campaign world?
(As a point of interest, the Frozen Immortal's opposites, the Burning Immortals, will be more or less identical in power and theme, only with fire.)
