Re: GITP Monster Competition Chat Thread
Well, there's no exact science to figuring out CR, but there are a couple of ways to do it. You can try to eyeball it and maybe playtest it, or you can use VT's method for determining it, found here. It's the method I usually use, and seems to be fairly good.

Re: GITP Monster Competition Chat Thread
Thanks, it turns out that my guess was accurate. CR is around 5.

Re: GITP Monster Competition Chat Thread
Well there's my first too. Not particularly a monster as such, but it'd be a nice little random encounter or mini-plot arc.

little time he had in life to read so much, to learn what he had to know.”

Re: GITP Monster Competition Chat Thread
Just need Flavor Text and My Rift Demon is ready to roll.
The idea I built him off of is an alternate method of keeping out of site, and came up with the Idea that he'll hide in the rift between the dimensions, and from there launch an attack on his target.
In addition, his attacks have the ability to deaden ones senses, mostly helpful in those prolonged fights. :p
I like my Rift Demon.

Re: GITP Monster Competition Chat Thread
The Glass Golem is up, just bare bones right now, will add the rest as I have time to get it written. I'm not very experienced at making monsters so I thought I would keep it simple. I'm happy with it, although I'm pretty sure the CR is way off.

Re: GITP Monster Competition Chat Thread
Any thoughts about the appropriate CR for the Gastrus? It's big and tough, but by VT's method it should have a CR of at least *33*. And it just plain doesn't have "epic monster" written all over it, in my estimation. I mean, I'd rather fight one of these guys than a Balor any day. No SR, no range, no intelligence, ponderous movement, immune only to acid (though that DR is a toughie)...just whack at it really hard (and quickly) or zap it and you're done, no? Or heck, teleport out of it and attack it from a distance. It's not like it's going to barrel after you at breakneck speeds.

Re: GITP Monster Competition Chat Thread
another edit of the skratta-sker. since i don't have any illustrations done yet myself, i linked the creature entry to some of my visual inspirations for the fey, the cover of the jethro tull album, broadsword and the beast, and one of the concept drawings of the goblins in the movie, labyrinth.

Re: GITP Monster Competition Chat Thread
new life? internet? sounds like you moved. did you buy a house or anything cool?
my wife and i just bought a house (kind of a house. more like a fixer-upper project). we're currently doing the tear-everything-apart-so-that-we-can-fix-it-up-and-move-in dealio. fun stuff.

Re: GITP Monster Competition Chat Thread
To put it in a nutshell, I moved away from my state and family to help work on a music magazine that my best friend started and I am the head journalist of (see my signature and click the banner to get more info on that).
She and I moved in together into the house of another who is involved in the magazine that lives in a definite 'fixer upper' that is starting to look pretty nice. So now we're all roommates.
In fact, here is me and my girls at a Three Doors Down release party...

Re: GITP Monster Competition Chat Thread
For the Epic competition, is a templated creature applicable for the entry? The base creature is standard, yet the template itself is original.
I may scrap this idea, though... Have a few others flittering through my head.Paragon Badger (14 HP)

The Woruldoomwere is now up, I'm still working on the story (I'm not particularly happy with what I've got so far though, I might scrap it and write a poem instead) but everything else is finished.
