Monster Hunter

[LostDeviljho]

It's Monster Hunter, in D&D! specifically the content from the 3rd generation games, adapted to 3.x edition.

this has been/will be my main hobby for quite some time, and i'm hoping someone, somewhere, likes it.

there are undoubtedly balance issues and miss-CR-ing, but that's part of why I'm putting it up here, for all of you to pick apart, then put back together again better than before. that and i want acknowledgement for all my hard work.

so without further ado, i give you, Monster Hunter.

Spoiler: notes

Show

''Wyvern'', as used in the descriptions, does not refer to the monster of the same name from the MM, but rather is a classification for monsters with reptilian or semi-reptilian traits.

Spoiler: Lynians

Show

Lynians are diminutive sapient creatures known for their intelligence, organization, and language.

Spoiler: Felvine and Felvine Bombs

Show

Felvine is a weed found in temperate climes. a member of the mint family characterized by it's pinkish leaves and stem, and pale yellow-orange flowers, it is easily identified, by those who know what it is. Practically, Felvine behaves lik catnip on steroids, attracting all manner of feline creatures. when steamed and pressed, Felvine releases an extremely potent oil that can drive even the strongest willed felines to madness. a single stalk of Felvine yields about a 1 oz. of Felvine Oil.

a DC 20 Craft (Alchemy) chack can be used to manufacture a Lesser Felvine Bomb (DC 22 for Standard, DC 25 for Greater), essentially an aerosol grenade filled with Felvine Oil. a Lesser Felvine Bomb requires 1 oz. of Felvine oil to make (Felvine Bombs and Greater Felvine Bombs require 6 oz. and 30 oz., respectively), and when detonated fills a 5 ft. radius sphere (15 ft. for Felvine bombs, 30 ft. for Greater Felvine Bombs) with the aerosolized Felvine Oil. any non-feline creature within the blast radius when it detonates is marked with the Felvine Oil, and any feline creatures within 200 ft. who do not make thier Will save (DC 20) immediately begin singlemindedly attacking and harassing it. this effect lasts for 1d4 rounds (1d6 for Standard, 1d8 for Greater). any feline creatures directly hit by the blast are left high off their asses (Dazed) for the same amount of time any other creature would have been marked.

Trample (Ex): As a full-round action, a qurupeco can move up to twice its speed and literally run over any opponents at least one size category smaller than itself. The qurupeco merely has to move over the opponents in its path; any creature whose space is completely covered by the qurupeco's space is subject to the trample attack. If a target’s space is larger than 5 feet, it is only considered trampled if the qurupeco moves over all the squares it occupies. If the qurupeco moves over only some of a target’s space, the target can make an attack of opportunity against the trampling qurupeco at a –4 penalty. A qurupeco that accidentally ends its movement in an illegal space returns to the last legal position it occupied, or the closest legal position, if there’s a legal position that’s closer.

A trample attack deals 1d6+6 bludgeoning damage.

Trampled opponents can attempt attacks of opportunity, but these take a –4 penalty. If they do not make attacks of opportunity, trampled opponents can attempt Reflex saves to take half damage.

The save DC against a qurupeco's trample attack is 17. A qurupeco can only deal trampling damage to each target once per round, no matter how many times its movement takes it over a target creature.

Mucus Spit (Ex): Once every 1d6 rounds the Qurupeco can spit balls of combustible mucus at 3 targets within the area of a 30ft. cone, requiring them to make a DC 16 Reflex save to avoid it.
If the Mucus hits it inflicts DS 5/Fire (Damage Susceptibility 5/Fire)on the target for 1d6+4 rounds. This means that any attacks that deal Fire damage do an additional 5 damage. The Fire Susceptibility from multiple Mucus Balls does not stack, but being struck by a mucus ball again while still affected extends the effect by 1d6 rounds.

Spark Burst (Ex):The Qurupeco leaps 10 ft. to land in front of its target and strikes with the flints on it’s wings. This deals 1d6 Fire damage and throws Medium or smaller opponents 5 ft. in a random direction. The Qurupeco then repeats this attack on another foe, or, if no foe is far enough away that another 10 ft. jump from the previous landing spot would put it in reach, it attempts to get as close as possible. Reflex avoids (DC 16).

Summon Ally (Su):As Summon Nature’s Ally III, except all creatures summoned are from the following lists and randomly determined. 4/day.

Level 1
•Melynx
•Ludroth (near water)
•Jaggi/Jaggia (or Wroggi in swamps)
•Renoplos (in Plains)
•Bullfango

Level 2
•Great Jaggi
•Royal Ludroth (near water)

•Nibelsnarf (in desert)

Level 3
•Diablos
•Deviljho
•Rathalos
•Sand Barioth (in desert)
•Duramboros
•Zinogre


Inspiring Roar (Su): A number of times a day equal to 3+⅓ HD (rounded down), a Qurupeco can inspire tremendous ability in itself or all willing allies within earshot for 5 rounds. It can either inspire great attacking power, granting a +2 competence bonus on attack and damage rolls, and a +1 competence bonus on Fortitude saves, or great defensive skill, granting a +4 morale bonus on saving throws and a +4 dodge bonus to AC. Inspiring Roar is a move action that provokes Attacks of Opportunity. if struck by an AOO and dealt damage equal to at least 5+Con modifier, the effects instead apply to the creature who dealt the damage and it’s allies, and the Qurupeco is left Shaken for 1d3 rounds.
Inspiring Roar is a mind-affecting ability.

Healing Cry (Su): A number of times a day equal to 3+⅓ HD (rounded down), a Qurupeco can release a melodic cry that grants 2 bonus Hit Dice (d10s), and the commensurate number of temporary hit points (apply the target’s Constitution modifier, if any, to these bonus Hit Dice),
Healing Cry is a move action that provokes Attacks of Opportunity. if struck by an AOO and dealt damage equal to at least 5+Con modifier, the effects instead apply to the creature who dealt the damage and it’s allies, and the Qurupeco is left Shaken for 1d3 rounds.

Heh, I just got done playing some Monster Hunter Freedom tonight before I saw this thread.

I'll take a look and see what I think.

Edit: so I'd also add a slam attack that they can do instead of their talon attack, looks pretty good as far as representing these monsters in a D&D kind of stat block though.

[Ninja_Grand]

This. This whole thing is perfect. Watching this like a hawk!

[Extra Anchovies]

Don't worry about getting CR wrong; if WotC can make that damn crab and get away with never fixing it, you can probably get away with a few mis-CR'ed homebrew baddies

Also, now that this thread has my curiosity: are there any prestige classes that would be fitting for a monster hunter type? I know there's all those gnome and halfling PrCs that are about fighting giants and stuff, but I don't like those. Anything out there that you all know of that's specifically for fighting big nonhumanoids other than Ranger with Favored Enemy (Magical Beast)? The Monster Hunter series has hella flavor to it and now I want to play one of those guys.

none that i know of. i was thinking about making a class for them, but my class making skills are less than exceptional.

The Monster Hunter series has hella flavor to it and now I want to play one of those guys.

actually, they're pretty close to fighters. aside from never taking lethal damage and routinely wielding swords the size of doors, there's really nothing to distinguish them from your average joe. Monster Hunter is very equipment based.

[Extra Anchovies]

none that i know of. i was thinking about making a class for them, but my class making skills are less than exceptional.

I'd totally be willing to get on that sometime in the next few days. Not tonight though; I need sleep (despite how fervently I may deny that).

ETA brainstorm for class features

• ability to wield oversized weapons without penalty (up to two size categories larger eventually)
• precision damage against larger foes (or maybe just a flat skirmish progression that adds +2d6/+2 AC against larger foes?)
• favored enemy-style features (vs. animals, magical beasts, dragons, aberrations only)
• full bab, d10 hit die, 4+int skills

Not sure what else; it's been quite some time since I've played those games.
ETA2: Now that I look at that short list, that looks like a really boring class. Dunno if I'll be going through with this unless I get some true inspiration.

Customizing the d20 system around monster hunter might be better than a straight attempt at 3.5

weapons could slow you down when drawn based on their heavyness, like greatsword and lance/shield would be the slowest, then switchaxe/longsword/hammer etc.

All hunters would have the same AC as part of their class, but armor would add DR and health and other benefits depending on the kind of armor or the monsters it was made from.

Hm, this certainly seems like an interesting variant. I'm down for helping out if this ends up expanding.

Monster Hunter Weapon: This weapon requires the Monster Hunter Weapon Proficiency feat in order to use properly. Anyone attempting to use it without this feat takes a -2 non-proficiency penalty, as well as any other non-proficiency penalties the may already have. nor can they utilize any of the weapon's special abilities, however, in addition to dropping the wielder's move speed when drawn, the Heavy Bladed quality causes the weapon to be treated as one size category larger for determining whether it is an oversized weapon for the user (thus, a Medium character wielding a Medium sized Monster Hunter Greatsword is treated as wielding a Large weapon).

Heavy Bladed: A Monster Hunter Greatsword is extremely heavy. So heavy, in fact, that your move speed drops by 10 when it is drawn. This weapon cannot be wielded by anyone with a strength score of less than 13.

Master Block (EX): The user of a Monster Hunter Greatsword can use it as a tower shield.

Charged Swing (EX): the user of a Monster Hunter Greatsword can sacrifice his movement and attacks for one round in order to charge his next swing. while doing so he is treated as flat-footed, but gains a +4 bonus on checks or rolls to resist bull rush, disarm, grapple, overrun, and trip attempts made against him. If he takes enough damage whilst charging(½ Con modifier + 5), then the charge is interrupted and he loses all benefits he gained and must restart charging at the beginning..
Upon successfully charging up, all damage dealt by his next attack is doubled. alternatively, he can opt to continue charging for another round up to Charge Level 2, gaining an additional x3 to damage. he can then charge for a third round, to charge Level 3, gaining an additional x4 to damage. he cannot charge his attack beyond Charge Level 3, attempting to do so loses all previous Charge Levels and leaves him Fatigued for 1d4 rounds. All bonuses from Charge Levels stack. If interrupted during a higher level charge, he loses the benefits from that Charge Level and previous Charge Levels.

Finesseable: A Monster Hunter Longsword can be used with the weapon finesse feat, even though it is not a light weapon.

Lunging Slash (EX): Once per round , someone using a Monster Hunter Longsword can make a single, lunging attack. this attack is treated as having reach.

Sidestep Slash (EX): Once per round, someone using a Monster Hunter Longsword can make a single attack which uses the Sidestep feat, even if the user does not have the feat or meet the prerequisites.

Spirit Meter (EX): every time you hit a target with consecutive attacks, you gain one Spirit Point, or SP, per hit. you lose 1 SP every time you miss an attack and you lose 1 SP at the end of every round. You SP fill your Spirit Meter, which has 3 levels. Meter Level 1 takes 5 SP to fill, granting a +1 bonus to all attack and damage rolls with the Longsword until the meter is emptied, and allowing you to begin filling Meter Level 2. Meter Level 2 requires 10 SP to fill, giving a +2 bonus that stacks with the first level bonus and lasts until Meter Level 2 is empty. Once Meter Level 2 is filled, Meter Level 3 becomes available. Meter Level 3 requires 15 SP to fill, and grants a +3 bonus. Meter Level 3 cannot be replenished once full, you have to wait until Meter Level 2 to begin replenishing SP.

Spirit Slash (EX): Whenever a Spirit Meter level is filled, the Longsword user gains the ability to perform a Spirit Slash. this is a single attack that uses all SP in a given Meter Level to double the bonus from the most recently filled Meter Level. A Spirit Slash cannot be used on the highest active Meter Level if it is less than half full, instead it will burn, and double, the next Meter Level down (for instance, if Meter Level 2 had been filled, but now has only 4 SP left, the Spirit Slash would double Meter Level 1's +1 bonus rather than Level 2's +2 bonus. Level 2's bonus would still remain for the attack, but would deactivate afterwards because there would only be 4 total SP). This also applies to a meter that hasn't been filled yet. If Meter Level 3 only has 12 SP and hasn't yet been activated, then using a spirit slash would use all of Level 2's SP and double Level 2's bonus whilst leaving the SP in Meter Level 3 alone.

The Insect Glaive’s blade is a slashing weapon that deals 1d10 points of damage (crit ×3). Its weighted end is a bludgeoning weapon that deals 1d8 points of damage (crit ×3). You can use either head as the primary weapon. The other head is the offhand weapon. A creature wielding an Insect Glaive in one hand can’t use it as a double weapon—only one end of the weapon can be used in any given round.
Pole Vault (EX): The user of an Insect Glaive gets a +10 to Jump checks.

Kinsect (EX): The user of an Insect Glaive gains an animal companion from the following list, attracted by the Insect Glaive, referred to as their Kinsect. Thier class level counts as their Druid level for the purposes of determining it's abilities and stat adjustments. The Kinsect is bound to the Insect Glaive, not the one who uses it; if it is lost, the user loses their Kinsect as well. Kinsects are also capable of channeling touch attacks and spells like a Familiar. In the event that a Kinsect is killed, if the Insect Glaive is left outside for 24 hours, a new Kinsect of the same species as the last one will be attracted to it. An Insect Glaive counts as a Masterwork Tool for purposes of Handle Animal checks regarding the Kinsect.

Anyone attempting to use it without this feat takes a -2 non-proficiency penalty, as well as any other non-proficiency penalties the may already have. nor can they utilize any of the weapon's special abilities, however, in addition to dropping the wielder's move speed when drawn, the Heavy Bladed quality causes the weapon to be treated as one size category larger for determining whether it is an oversized weapon for the user (thus, a Medium character wielding a Medium sized Monster Hunter Greatsword is treated as wielding a Large weapon).

Heavy Bladed: A Monster Hunter Greatsword is extremely heavy. So heavy, in fact, that your move speed drops by 10 when it is drawn. This weapon cannot be wielded by anyone with a strength score of less than 13.

Master Block (EX): The user of a Monster Hunter Greatsword can use it as a tower shield.

Charged Swing (EX): the user of a Monster Hunter Greatsword can sacrifice his movement and attacks for one round in order to charge his next swing. while doing so he is treated as flat-footed, but gains a +4 bonus on checks or rolls to resist bull rush, disarm, grapple, overrun, and trip attempts made against him. If he takes enough damage whilst charging(½ Con modifier + 5), then the charge is interrupted and he loses all benefits he gained and must restart charging at the beginning..
Upon successfully charging up, all damage dealt by his next attack is doubled. alternatively, he can opt to continue charging for another round up to Charge Level 2, gaining an additional x3 to damage. he can then charge for a third round, to charge Level 3, gaining an additional x4 to damage. he cannot charge his attack beyond Charge Level 3, attempting to do so loses all previous Charge Levels and leaves him Fatigued for 1d4 rounds. All bonuses from Charge Levels stack. If interrupted during a higher level charge, he loses the benefits from that Charge Level and previous Charge Levels.

Finesseable: A Monster Hunter Longsword can be used with the weapon finesse feat, even though it is not a light weapon.

Lunging Slash (EX): Once per round , someone using a Monster Hunter Longsword can make a single, lunging attack. this attack is treated as having reach.

Sidestep Slash (EX): Once per round, someone using a Monster Hunter Longsword can make a single attack which uses the Sidestep feat, even if the user does not have the feat or meet the prerequisites.

Spirit Meter (EX): every time you hit a target with consecutive attacks, you gain one Spirit Point, or SP, per hit. you lose 1 SP every time you miss an attack and you lose 1 SP at the end of every round. You SP fill your Spirit Meter, which has 3 levels. Meter Level 1 takes 5 SP to fill, granting a +1 bonus to all attack and damage rolls with the Longsword until the meter is emptied, and allowing you to begin filling Meter Level 2. Meter Level 2 requires 10 SP to fill, giving a +2 bonus that stacks with the first level bonus and lasts until Meter Level 2 is empty. Once Meter Level 2 is filled, Meter Level 3 becomes available. Meter Level 3 requires 15 SP to fill, and grants a +3 bonus. Meter Level 3 cannot be replenished once full, you have to wait until Meter Level 2 to begin replenishing SP.

Spirit Slash (EX): Whenever a Spirit Meter level is filled, the Longsword user gains the ability to perform a Spirit Slash. this is a single attack that uses all SP in a given Meter Level to double the bonus from the most recently filled Meter Level. A Spirit Slash cannot be used on the highest active Meter Level if it is less than half full, instead it will burn, and double, the next Meter Level down (for instance, if Meter Level 2 had been filled, but now has only 4 SP left, the Spirit Slash would double Meter Level 1's +1 bonus rather than Level 2's +2 bonus. Level 2's bonus would still remain for the attack, but would deactivate afterwards because there would only be 4 total SP). This also applies to a meter that hasn't been filled yet. If Meter Level 3 only has 12 SP and hasn't yet been activated, then using a spirit slash would use all of Level 2's SP and double Level 2's bonus whilst leaving the SP in Meter Level 3 alone.

Double Weapon: An Insect Glaive is a double weapon.

The Insect Glaive’s blade is a slashing weapon that deals 1d10 points of damage (crit ×3). Its weighted end is a bludgeoning weapon that deals 1d8 points of damage (crit ×3). You can use either head as the primary weapon. The other head is the offhand weapon. A creature wielding an Insect Glaive in one hand can’t use it as a double weapon—only one end of the weapon can be used in any given round.
Pole Vault (EX): The user of an Insect Glaive gets a +10 to Jump checks.

Kinsect (EX): The user of an Insect Glaive gains an animal companion from the following list, attracted by the Insect Glaive, referred to as their Kinsect. Thier class level counts as their Druid level for the purposes of determining it's abilities and stat adjustments. The Kinsect is bound to the Insect Glaive, not the one who uses it; if it is lost, the user loses their Kinsect as well. Kinsects are also capable of channeling touch attacks and spells like a Familiar. In the event that a Kinsect is killed, if the Insect Glaive is left outside for 24 hours, a new Kinsect of the same species as the last one will be attracted to it. An Insect Glaive counts as a Masterwork Tool for purposes of Handle Animal checks regarding the Kinsect.

why thank you

as for the enchantment thing, how about limiting the maximum enhancement bonus to +5? that's half the normal maximum and means MH weapons won't bypass DR/epic.

EDIT: Felynes are up! shortly to be followed by Melynx.
