    Default Running a DnD game, need some input

    Hey all,

    I'm designing a mission for my group that takes place inside a prison at the bottom of the ocean. If you wouldn't mind, I'd appreciate some ideas for creatures.

    So far, I've got a few things down. The Warden is a Mindflayer who should be accompanied by some cool stuff that is currently undecided, and the majority of the normal prison guards will be kuo-tao fighters.

    Any ideas for the fearsome foes our PCs will be facing?

    If you can, check out Stormwrack. It should have lots of good ideas for ya.
    Thanks to Edwin for the Avatar!

    An elite squad of Sahaugin, each using a different (read: overly complicated) gish build. The warden dispatches them whenever there's a chance of a prisoner escaping. They would provide for some awesome tactical combat, because Batman wizards that then proceed to rush the party to kick their asses in melee are cool.

    Thanks for the replies! Unfortunately, I don't have access to Stormwrack.

    The Sanhuagin thing sounds really cool, though. Can you possibly link me to the racial stats for them?

    They're on the SRD (and in the core MM).

    and the serenity for which he labored was shattered as he realized the
    little time he had in life to read so much, to learn what he had to know.”

    Summon the KRAKEN!

    Wait, for what level?

    You could also throw in Aboleths (MM) and Kopru (MM2). Aboleths respect Illithids out of being creeped out by them, so they might traffic or conspire with them. Kopru fill the role of creepy Aboleth minions/allies.

    d20srd.org has all the stats for the Monster Manual monsters, except for product identity monsters (Mind flayers, beholders, among others)
