If you could be any non-human D&D monster, what would you be? (3.5/PF)

**Harperfan7** · 2010-05-02, 08:12 PM (ISO 8601)

...and why?

**Eldariel** · 2010-05-02, 08:13 PM (ISO 8601)

What constitutes a "monster"? Any creature or only non-player creatures?

**balistafreak** · 2010-05-02, 08:21 PM (ISO 8601)

Corpsecrafted Spellstitched Necropolitan. I used to be human, but now I live forever, have strength and nimbleness that I never possessed while still a living breathing meatbag, and, oh, best of all, shoot frickin' laser beams out of my eyes. (SLAs have no components, so I figure this is absolutely within the realms of RAI.)

... what?

**Yukitsu** · 2010-05-02, 08:21 PM (ISO 8601)

{Scrubbed}

**Copacetic** · 2010-05-02, 08:30 PM (ISO 8601)

Half-Celestial Gold Dragon. I don't think this needs explaining.

**Jack_Simth** · 2010-05-02, 08:32 PM (ISO 8601)

For power?

The Evolved Undead Ghost of a Great Wyrm Gold Dragon (would go with Prismatic, but I'd prefer to be able to blend when I want to).

Immortality? Check. Difficult to temporarily kill? Check. Able to take down small nations? Check. Able to live as a human if desired? Check.

What's not to like?

**Deca** · 2010-05-02, 08:33 PM (ISO 8601)

Being an illithid has great drama potential.

All the other kids laugh at me and ridicule me for my horrific appearance but I keep being nice to them until by the end of the movie, I win their trust and they all learn a valuable lesson about not judging others on appearances.

...And then I eat all of their brains.

**druid91** · 2010-05-02, 08:33 PM (ISO 8601)

Warforged greater deity. Then I would go around performing miracles just so people go "Wait did that robot just walk on water?"

And you have a legion of fanatical robots to do your bidding, and Lord of Blades isn't a bad title either.

**Geiger Counter** · 2010-05-02, 08:39 PM (ISO 8601)

For all the benefits of being an Uber fiend (immortality/DR/spell resistance/respawning) without actually having to live in the lower planes.
Combine the powers of a doppleganger with a high level sorcerer and evil cleric which you don't have to actually work for and you got the Ak'chazar Rakshasa.

**Volthawk** · 2010-05-02, 08:39 PM (ISO 8601)

Definitely some kind of templated monstrosity.

**Eldariel** · 2010-05-02, 08:44 PM (ISO 8601)

I guess, considering all creatures, Half-Silver Dragon Planetar would be pretty awesome. Half-Silver Dragon Ghaele Eladrin would be real nice too. Alternatively, obviously Half-Celestial Silver Dragon but yeah.

Either way, mixing the noblest of Dragons with the most graceful and beautiful Celestials results in a rather incredible being.

**Private-Prinny** · 2010-05-02, 08:46 PM (ISO 8601)

I would be Asmodeus. That guy is just amazing.

If we have to be generic, then I would be a kobold, so I could become Pun-Pun.

**Zeful** · 2010-05-02, 08:47 PM (ISO 8601)

Yuan-ti half-blood.

I like snakes.

**ErrantX** · 2010-05-02, 08:47 PM (ISO 8601)

Gold Dragon. Definitely. I really need nothing else. Live for thousands of years as one of the most potent creatures in the universe, able to change my form and cast the spells that make the people fall down? Yes please.

-X

Gods get counted as monsters?

I would like to change my answer.

Half-Celestial Great Wyrm Gold Dragon Greater Diety of Life and Death.

**Gorgondantess** · 2010-05-02, 08:53 PM (ISO 8601)

Ulitharid alhoon. Think dire illithid lich. Immortal, manifests as a 12th level psion (dominate, anybody?) and major style points.
Well, that's if we're being reasonable. If I could be any D&D monster, definitely a templated monstrosity- Jack_Smith's got it pretty much down, but you could certainly throw on the paragon template there. Plus maybe another few dozen CR worth.

Oh, and also make that an advanced dragon, with enough feats so that I can buy every spell in the game on my sorceror spell list.

**Project_Mayhem** · 2010-05-02, 08:54 PM (ISO 8601)

Xvart.

Obviously

**Mushroom Ninja** · 2010-05-02, 08:55 PM (ISO 8601)

Astral deva (or some templated version of it) is tempting.

**Geiger Counter** · 2010-05-02, 08:55 PM (ISO 8601)

Yeah let's ban any unique outsiders (gods/feind lords) otherwise this gets just too easy.

**Volthawk** · 2010-05-02, 08:56 PM (ISO 8601)

Here was a monstrosity I was going to play using the Races of War method (ECL=CR+1)

Voidmind Stony Lolth-Touched Chimeric Horrid Multi-Headed Dire Wolf

**demidracolich** · 2010-05-02, 08:58 PM (ISO 8601)

Pandorym, for all of you who want to be deities, I`ll kill you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Or if it is not allowed, a generic god killer monstrosity.
Or a monster me and my friends created. A 30 headed 300 million year old shadow dragon dracolitch that gives 30000 negative levels with each breath weapon.
Or mabye a paragon tarrasque with other templates. (Lol, it is a genius)

Well in that case mind-flayer, then I would gain power slay my elder brain establish control over my fellows and establish the emerald legion. then I would sally forth from the underground and crush all who oppose me.

Starting to question Removing gods now aren't you.

**Morth** · 2010-05-02, 09:06 PM (ISO 8601)

Kobold or Illithid
Kobolds are awesome, and ego erraticating to lose to.
SQUIDFACE!

**Escheton** · 2010-05-02, 09:06 PM (ISO 8601)

succubus

and played like nightcrawler on xtc

**Thrawn183** · 2010-05-02, 09:28 PM (ISO 8601)

More info. Is this in the real world or in a generic D&D world? Would I be the only one? My answer would definitely be different depending on the situation.

**Doodleface** · 2010-05-02, 09:34 PM (ISO 8601)

Half-Dragon Centaur

Half man, half horse, half dragon.

**Amphetryon** · 2010-05-02, 09:34 PM (ISO 8601)

Half-Fey Copper Dragon.

EDIT: Why? Because it's a DRAGON. It also gets phenomenal social skills.

**Window459** · 2010-05-02, 09:39 PM (ISO 8601)

Flind, i get to be a badass hyena person who uses nunchucks to beat people senseless
