    Josha: Any thoughts on the size of the other world? The book is kinda vague about how big the flat is.

    Other Mother has massive update

    The Night Fury just needs CR if you like it Mullet. Did you want the boss Dragon or the other critters from the manual next?

    Very nice. I'd like to have an addendum to the night fury that the save only applies to the splash damage, just to make it clear.

    I'd love to see the boss dragon. The only ones from the manual that were particularly interesting [and aren't just reskins of the ones you've already done] are the Whispering Death, Thunderdrum and the armadillo one whose name i have forgotten...expect an edit.

    If you want to leave off this for a little while, that's cool; it was a big request.

    "Odin help us."

    The Sea Dragon is an enormous dragon who spends it's existence intimidating the other dragons to steal food for it or be eaten themselves. It is a living engine of destruction covered in armor and spines, but fortunately it's a bit of a dumb tactician.

    Frightful Presence (Ex): Whenever the Sea Dragon attacks, charges, or flies overhead all creatures within 240' with fewer HD than it must make a DC 83 Willpower Save or be subjected to it's Frightful Presence (Save DC is Charisma based). Creatures with 4 or less HD are Panicked for 4d6 rounds, and those with 5 or more are Shaken for 4d6 rounds. Any opponents who successfully make the Save are immune to this Dragons Frightful Presence for 24 hours. Unlike normal, this ability affects other Dragons.

    Spew Fire (Ex): 5 times per day the Sea Dragon can spew an enormous blast of fire as a Full Round Action doing 40d10 fire damage in an 80' Line (can breath once every 1d4 rounds, DC 85 Reflex Save for half damage, Save DC is Constitution based). If someone readies an Action to ignite the gas on the round the Sea Dragon spits fire, the gas ignites doing 800 damage to the Sea Dragon.

    Trample (Ex): DC 90 Reflex Save for half damage, Save DC is Strength based. Unlike normal your Trample attack covers a 10' Area.

    Improved Grab (Ex): If the Sea Dragon successfully Bites an opponent it can immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If successful it may then do bite damage or Swallow Whole.

    Swallow Whole (Ex): The Sea Dragon may attempt to Swallow an opponent up to Huge Size with a successful Grapple Check. The swallowed creature takes 4d8+20 bludgeoning and 20 points of acid and fire damage per round it remains in the stomach. A swallowed victim can cut its way out by doing 75 points of damage with a Light slashing or piercing damage to the stomach (AC 30). Once they exit muscular action closes the hole and other swallowed creatures must find their own way out.

    Swat (Ex): If the Sea Dragon successfully uses it's Tail Club or Claw Attacks on a Flying opponent they must make a DC 90 Fortitude Save (Save DC is Strength Based) or be knocked from the sky and take falling damage.

    Inhale: As A Full Round Action the Sea Dragon may inhale, attempting to Swallow a Flying opponent of Large Size or smaller. The victim and Sea Dragon make an opposed Grapple Check (the Sea Dragon does not get it's Size Modifier of +20 or it's Strength Modifier, and the opponent gets a bonus to the roll equal to their flight speed divided by 5). If the Sea Dragon is successful it is now Grappling it's opponent and may Swallow them Whole the next round wit ha successful Grapple Check. The victim must be flying and in front of the Sea Dragon fro this ability to be used.

    Charge (Ex): As a full round Action the Sea Drake can perform a Charge attack. It does 10d6+40 damage to everything in it's path, and get's a Bull Rush as a Free Action against each opponent it hits. It can keep going until one Bull RUsh attempt fails, or it reaches the end of it's movement.

    Big (Ex): Your Claw and Bite attacks affect any 10' area within range of your reach to the front (bite) or sides (claws) of the dragon.

    Thick Armor (Ex): The Sea Dragon retains it's Natural Armor Bonus to AC against attacks that aren't supernatural in origin, and is immune to critical hits and flanking.

    Skills: Due to it's wide angle vision, Sea Dragons get a +4 Racial Bonus to Search and Spot Checks.

    Notes: The source material assumes no supernatural abilities or spellcasting. In regular DnD add Spell Resistance equal to the Dragons Hit Dice, as well as Energy Resistance 50 (all types), and Fast Healing 30.

    Mullet: does 120 HD seem okay?

    Grub Servitor
    Large Outsider (Extraplanar)
    Hit Dice: 4d8+16 (34 hp)
    Initiative: +4
    Speed: 30 ft. (6 squares)
    Armor Class: 13 (-1 Size, +3 Dex), touch 13, flat-footed 9
    Base Attack/Grapple: +4/+12
    Attack: Bite +7 melee (1d6+4)
    Full Attack: Bite +7 melee (1d6+4)
    Space/Reach: 10 ft./10 ft.
    Special Attacks: Fury
    Special Qualities: Malleable, Influenced, DR 3/Slashing or Piercing
    Saves: Fort +8, Ref +8, Will +3
    Abilities: Str 18, Dex 18, Con 18, Int 8, Wis 8, Cha 8
    Skills: Balance +11, Climb +11, Jump +11, Listen +6, Perform (Any 2) +6, Spot +6
    Feats: Endurance, Diehard
    Environment: The Other Demiplane
    Organization: Solitary or Pair
    Challenge Rating: 3
    Treasure: None
    Alignment: Usually Neutral
    Advancement: 5-8 HD (Large)
    Level Adjustment: ---

    The Grub Servitors may or may not be natives of the Other Demiplane, but they are few in number, and seem to be completely under the thumb off the Other Mother, physically as well as mentally. On their own they resemble great grublike featureless things with button eyes, but they can be shaped by the Other Mother into bizarre imitations of other creatures the Other Mother has seen, usually the parents of children.

    Fury (Ex): If the Grub is down to half hit points or has an eye removed it roars and seems to swell with power, gaining the Powerful Build ability and a +2 Circumstance Bonus to Damage rolls for (3+ Con Modifier) rounds.

    Malleable (Ex): The Grubs have exceptionally malleable bodies over which they have little control if the Other Mother wishes to make changes. Due to their spongy, manipulable nature they are immune to flanking and critical hits. Their only true vulnerability are their button eyes. An opponent in melee range can make a Melee Touch Attack to grab one (or a Grapple Check if already in a Grapple) and then make a DC 16 Str Check to rip it off. If both are removed the Grub is blind.

    Influenced (Ex): The Grubs can speak or do as they will unless the Other Mother objects. They receive a -6 Penalty on Saving Throws against any attack or ability she makes against them.

    Combat: Initially Grubs are slow to attack as they try to fight the Other Mothers influence, but they inevitably fail and do their best to grab and devour opponents.

    It seems...

    I know this is going to sound odd, but it seems too accurate in combat for what the creature did in the film...

    The Colossal plus category's penalty to hit won't stop it hitting automatically where it was avoidable in the film.

    Not sure how to rectify that.

    Perhaps pulling it down to 80HD and adding that it ALWAYS uses a silly amount of power attack? Or maybe applying the Epic rules in full so that it does the epic attack progression thing.

    Yeah, with that many HD, i can't come up with anything...

    It would have some effect but I think this creature is going to be unusable as an opponent given the way 3.5 works.

    I knoww you mentioned it early on but I hadn't really forseen how poorly D&D differentiates between going te to toe with it and not...

    Probaby best to just abandon it or just make it for posterity.

    YES! Every round it should have to roll on a health-problem table to see what horrible thing happens to it (seeing how pugs are so unhealthy and all). They list will have things like cranial arthritis, ingrown pelvis, plugged nose, hyperventilation, etc.

    Jellybats in their true form resemble something like a jellyfish with spiderlike legs and batlike wings. The Other Mother uses them to make pets for the children she entices, but for little else as they are not useful as fighters, and she already has the more dedicatedly evil rats as spies.

    Webbing (Ex): Jellybats can produce webbing 8 times per day. It has a 50' range with a range increment of 10'. This is similar to an attack with a net, and can affect any creature up to Small Size. If two or more Jellybats cooperate, an they all attack successfully they can web a Medium creature (4 or more for Large, 8 or more for Huge, etc.). Entangled beings can make a DC10 Escape Artist or DC 14 Strength Check to escape (the Save DC is Constitution based with a +4 Racial Bonus to the Strength Check DC, with an additional +2 Bonus to both Checks for each extra participating Jellybat). The webbing has 2 hit points and 1 Hardness.

    Malleable (Ex): The Jellybats have exceptionally malleable bodies over which they have little control if the Other Mother wishes to make changes. Due to their spongy, manipulable nature they are immune to flanking and critical hits.

    Influenced (Ex): The Jellybats can speak or do as they will unless the Other Mother objects. They receive a -6 Penalty on Saving Throws against any attack or ability she makes against them.

    Spider Climb (Ex): The Jellybats can climb as though they permanently had a Spider Climb spell in effect on their person.

    Combat: Jellybats usually web opponents and flee. They aren't fighters.

    sorry, was in another part of the country for the weekend with no 'nets.

    For the record, it looks like an interesting monster, just far too powerful to actually pit players against unless they're obscenely high level...

    Might have to come up with some way of setting up a scenery based version of it [monster as the battlefield type thing]

    "It's got me by a sensitive place Abner. Do not bash it in the head when making your sneak attack."

    Toy breeds are innumerable small size Dire Wolf mutants with varying degrees of health problems and insanities. Kept as pets, they often are more of a detriment to their master than his opponents due to their random unpredictable nature.

    Trip (Ex): If the Toy Breed successfully hits with it's Bite Attack it may immediately make a Trip Attack as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If the attempt fails the opponent doesn't get a Trip attempt in return.

    Random Health Problem (Ex): Choose from among one of the following health problems (this can't be switched later). Toy breeds are infamous for them:

    Spontaneous Combustion: Anytime the dog takes damage it must make a Fortitude Save (DC is equal to 10 plus damage) or explode doing 5d6 fire damage in a 10' area.

    Spontaneous Zombification: Anytime your dog goes to sleep roll 1d100. On a 1 it gains the Zombie template. If brought to less than 0 hit points it automatically gains the Zombie template.

    Possible Madness: The dog is permanently Confused, as per the spell. CR 1/2

    Fury: Anytime the dog is attacked, takes damage, or is upset it immediately goes into Frenzy (see Complete Warrior page 34). +1 CR

    Fears: Anytime the dog is surprised or fails a Willpower Save that results in a Fear Effect or a Morale Penalty it becomes either Paralyzed in fear for 2d6 hours, or Panicked for a similar period of time. Interestingly if Panicked it doesn't need to move in a straight line away from the source of fear, but sometimes runs in circles around it. +1 CR

    Projectile Vomiting/Other: Anytime the dog takes damage, makes a Saving Throw, or is in some way upset it sprays vomit in a 10' Line. Anything in that Area must make a DC 12 Fortitude Save or be Nauseated 1d3 rounds.

    Flatulence Flight: Exactly one hour after the dog eats there is a small chance of explosive flatulence, temporarily giving it a Flight move of 40' for 1d6 rounds as long as it moves forwards or backwards in a straight line (or straight up).

    Crippling Obesity: The dog is 5 times it's normal body weight. It becomes Fatigued by performing any Standard or Full Round Action, and Exhausted if it performs one 3 or more rounds in a row. On the other hand it's odd dimensions and mass give it a +8 Racial Bonus on Checks made to resist Bull Rush or Grapple Checks. It also gains DR 2/- from it's rippling yards of backfat.

    Random Psychic Stare: At any given time the DM may roll 1d20. On a 20 result, the dog spontaneously develops an Int Score of 20 for 1d6 minutes along with the ability to cast Dominate at will (caster Level is equal to HD) as a Supernatural Ability. "Move along citizen this perfectly ordinary but staring Chihuahua has no unusual powers and its not a threat." +1 CR

    OMG this shrubbery is alive: Due to some hideous malformation of it's normal hairiness, your dog looks like a hideously diseased bush when remaining still. It gains the Camouflage Ability listed on page 50 of the PHB). +1 CR

    Jowly: Your dog has a huge head, increasing it's Bite damage to 1d8, but giving it a -8 Racial Penalty to Balance Checks.

    Diseased: This dog carries any disease listed in the DMG, and merely touching it can transmit the infection regardless of how you can normally catch it. The dog is immune, the rest of you wish you were that lucky. +1 CR

    Spontaneous Fainting: Anytime the dog is surprised or fails a Willpower Save that results in a Fear Effect or a Morale Penalty it becomes Unconscious for 1 minute. CR 1/2

    Nervous: Anytime the dog is surprised or fails a Willpower Save that results in a Fear Effect or a Morale Penalty it does 2d6+6 damage to everything within 10' and then dies as it's nervous system implodes upon itself.

    Combat: Toy Dogs vary. Some immediately flee combat, some are quick to charge and bite, and some are actual decent at it. Much of it varies with how sane hte dog is.

    Variants:

    Annoying (Affenpinscher, Bichon Frise, Chihuahua, Pekingese, Pomeranian, Shih Tzu): Your dog barks non stop granting it the following ability:

    Yap (Ex): Your dogs non stop yapping gives everything within 60' a -4 to Concentration and Listen Checks.



    Energetic (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel, Italian Greyhound, Lowchen, Miniature Pinscher, Silky Terrier, Toy Fox Terrier, Yorkshire Terrier): You dog runs about getting into things non-stop granting it the following ability:

    Distracting (Ex): Your dog gets a +2 Racial Bonus on Listen, Search, and Spot Checks, but everything within 10' of him gets a -4 Penalty to Concentration Checks.



    Stout (Boston Terrier, French Bulldog, Pug): You dog is more squat than normal giving him -10 land speed, increasing bite to 1d8, and giving him the following ability:

    Improved Grab (Ex): If the Dog successfully hits with it's Bite Attack it immediately gets a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity. If successful it deals it's bite damage each round it maintains the Grapple. +1 CR

    I'm glad you finished the OM. She looks great.
    By the way, I don't think all little dogs in their dire form should have one general stat-block. After all, a pug is very different from a chihuahua. I don't even think pugs have the vocal equipment to yap.

    I'll be adding other variant abilities

    Any thoughts on whether the jellybats should have webbing?

    @Bhu
    I think the Webbing ability should belong to the Jellybats, not the OM.
    Also, I would love to see stats for the dire Boston Terrier and French Bulldog, although the ladder might be able to use pug stats.

    Jellybats are done. There are 90 different toy breeds of dog :(

    I may have to do a generic set of stats with some variants for those breeds which differ from the average.
