it's been a while since i've posted in here
ok, i have an idea in my head for an awesome creature
an animated castle
i know, it doesnt sound that interesting, however, i've been wondering about magic items and such
first i was thinking "i wonder if i could say that the bricks made to form the castle were cast around an amulet (so there's a different amulet inside each brick)" and i wondered if that would work
however, i then thought of putting life sized figmas (http://figurehaven.com/figmas/500-figma-karen-araragi.html) inside each room, and each of them is sort of like one of the castle's limbs, and each figma could wear a full set of magical items, so one figma could be dressed in a dragonscale cloak [MIC pg.95] and an executioner's hood [MIC pg. 97], whereas another figma could be suited up in full mithral plate and goggles of foefinding [MIC pg. 108]
the figmas would be similar to a psicrystal, having a small piece of the castle's personality inside them, and, even though the castle itself can't talk, the figmas can, the figmas would all be butlers, or maids, or similar (all of the staff would be figmas) the figmas would be made out of the same materials as the castle, but enchanted so that they appear human
i was wondering what the stats of this creature would be (i'd make them myself, but i think they'd be ridiculous)
i'd want each figma to pose a threat to a level 20 party (each figma is sort of like it's hair, it wouldnt even care if a few died)
obviously it's not meant to be fought, and it's a pacifist (i may write up a back story later)
also, the castle obviously needs good mental stats, and a high land base speed
well, this ended up as a rather large post
tldr: i want to make a giant inanimate castle, but need help working out some kinks :smallwink:
