Re: Request a Homebrew: Thread 3
R1165 You know how LOTR has those orcs with wicked metal plates and prosthetics? I need mechanics behind giving them life from lethal head wounds and evisceration. A normal orc in a workshop should be able to do this with 10 gp in scrap metal, while they may spend as much as 500 gp in scrap to integrate platemail. 5th edition D&D.

Would anyone mind tackling these three ideas? preferred system is Pathfinder but 3.x works just as well.
Spoiler: Three Spell Ideas
Animate Spell
Sor/Wiz 7
Animate Objects meets Dispel Magic
Can be used like Dispel Magic to animate spells of any duration as they are being cast.
Or it can be cast on ongoing magical effects that do not have a Permanent or Instantaneous duration.
Creates a Construct identical to a Crawling Tattoo except varying size categories like Animate Objects. The new construct's size would be based on the original spell’s Spell Level if used on a spell being cast and based on the size of the effect (or the size of the object or creature that effect occupies) if used on an ongoing spell.
Just like Animate Objects it can be made permanent with the Permanency spell.
Ongoing magical effects that are affecting a subject creature or object cease as the magics contained within now have physical form.
Incarnate Spell
Sor/Wiz 9
Living Spells meet Incarnate Construct
Applies the Living Spell template. Works like the above Animate Spell for targeting.
Incarnate Object
Sor/Wiz 9
Animate Objects meets Incarnate Construct
Target: Any one non-magical non-consumable item, object, or mass of material that has been in use by sentient creatures for 100 years or more.
Duration 1 year
Turns one nonmagical mundane item, object, or mass of material (as per 3.0 Animate Objects) into a living humanoid person. Much like Incarnate Construct.
When the duration is up the newly created creature dies.
Target cannot be a consumable item that is destroyed when it is used up such as food or ink or paint. Though the containers for such items qualify for the spell.
Thanks for your time Homebrewers.Last edited by unseenmage; 2015-09-23 at 11:54 AM.

I hate to seem greedy here; but my efforts on this one have been... unsatisfying to say the least. I'm looking for a 5 or 10 level PrC that plays up the tankier features of the Warlock: DRx/Cold Iron, Fiendish Resilience. Past attempts have included an Edlritch Shield ability that turns EB into a wall or Shield kind of effect, Armored Mage (Medium) and certain blast shape invocations as bonus invocations. Any assistance is greatly appreciated in advance!

H1167
Bloodwarlock
Some warlocks dig deep into their past, and find the beings that first granted them powers. They attach to them, and take on a more martial form.
Prerequisites:- Eldritch Blast +3d6
- At least one Eldritch Essence Invocation
- Eldritch Glaive Invocation
- Powers must originate with either demons, devils or eladrin. Must know which it is, match its alignment, and speak its language.
Level BAB Fort Ref Will Special Invocations Eldritch Blast 1 0 2 2 2 Eldritch armor +0 +0d6 2 1 3 3 3 DR 5/cold iron, Essense Specialization +1 +1d6 3 2 3 3 3 Lesser patron form, Telepathy +1 +1d6 4 3 4 4 4 Eldritch haft strike, Weaponlike glaive +1 +2d6 5 3 4 4 4 Partial energy resistance, Increased Invocations +2 +2d6 6 4 5 5 5 DR 10/cold iron, Summon Ally +2 +3d6 7 5 5 5 5 Aligned Blast +2 +3d6 8 6 6 6 6 Greater patron form +3 +4d6 9 6 6 6 6 Full energy resistance +3 +4d6 10 7 7 7 7 Increased Invocations +4 +5d6
Hit die: d8
Skills: 4+int
Class Skills: Concentration, Knowledge(any), Listen, Search, Spellcraft, Spot, Use Magic Device
Additional Class Skills if demon-originated: Bluff, Disguise, Hide, Move Silently
Additional Class Skills if devil-originated: Climb, Diplomacy, Intimidate
Additional Class Skills if eladrin-originated: Craft (any), Diplomacy, Heal, Sense Motive
Eldritch armor: You can use some of your eldritch energies as armor. Each point used grants a +1 armor bonus to AC but decreases your blast damage by 1 die (to a minimum of 1). Also, so long as you have eldritch armor active, anyone who attacks you in melee (whether they hit or not) suffers the effects of one eldritch essence invocation you know. Changing the armor (either points or essence) is a standard action.
Essense Specialization: When you learn eldritch essence invocations, you learn them one level higher than you normally can (if you can normally learn dark invocations, this has no effect).
Lesser patron form: Once a day you can assume a form resembling your patrons. You gain a generally abyssal/infernal/celestial appearance, Natural Armor +2, and Fast Healing 5. This state lasts for up to 2 minutes.
Telepathy: Always active
Eldritch haft strike: You can use an eldritch glaive to attack creatures adjacent to you (or otherwise too close to attack with a reach weapon normally). When you do this, the damage is halved. This ability qualifies you as "threatening" these squares, for AoOs, flanking and similar abilities.
Weaponlike glaive: Your Eldritch Glaive is treated as a manufactured weapon when this is beneficial to you. For example, you can add your strength bonus to damage and use power attack.
Partial energy resistance: Gain resistances based on your patron:- Demon: 10 to electricity; 5 to acid, cold and fire; all effects of poison are halved
- Devil: 10 to fire; 5 to acid and cold; all effects of poison are halved
- Eladrin: 10 to acid and cold; 5 to electricity and fire; +2 on saves against poison
Increased Invocations: The level of invocations you can learn increases by one
Summon Ally: Once per day, you can summon a Babau, Kyton or Bralani (as matches your patron). The creature remains for 10 minutes, and serves you as best it can.
Aligned Blast: When using eldritch blast (including as a glaive) against creatures that oppose your alignment on one axis, use d8s instead of d6s. If they oppose on both axes, or on one axis and it's a subtype, use d10s. If they oppose on both axes and it's a subtype, use d12s. (If your patrons are demons, this would be fighting a Brass Dragon, Gold Dragon or Eladrin, and Archon respectively.)
Greater patron form: When you invoke a patron form, the resulting natural armor is +4 and fast healing is 10. In addition, you may take on the exact appearance of any devil, demon or angel* (as appropriate) with no more hit dice than you. This grants you the creature's Strength, Dexterity, Constitution, Natural Weapons, and Movement Modes.
* Angel instead of Eladrin so that you can play it with SRD
Full energy resistance:Gain resistances based on your patron:- Demon: Immunity to electricity and poison; 10 to acid, cold and fire
- Devil: Immunity to fire and poison; 10 to acid and cold
- Eladrin: Immunity to acid and cold; 10 to electricity and fire; +4 on saves against poison

R1168
I have the approximate fluff for a monster/NPC, but very little idea how to represent it.
He was a very intelligent troll. Not just smart by troll standards, he was a genius according to anyone he met, including more than a few human wizards. He was also paranoid: he knew that, someday, adventurers from a distant land would hear about a troll living near the nearby town, not knowing that the troll was not at all Evil (note: make this guy Lawful Neutral, please) and would hunt him down. They would hunt him, with fire and acid, and would misinterpret the townsfolk's requests not to attack him as merely warnings that he was powerful. They would continue to hunt him, with fire and acid, and would not stop until he was dead.
To prevent this, he replaced his own bones with an inactive robot, and wired it up so that, should he die, the robot would flee, and, once it was away from the misguided heroes, use a special technique he had learned (and taught the robot) that would allow him to return to life around that robot, good as new. He also had a trigger set up that, should the robot stop functioning, would animate it as if it were a statue, and flee further until it could repair the robot, which would then revive the troll.

Re: Request a Homebrew: Thread 3
H1169: What about the name of the first person in the setting to measure magic, or someone who was famous for magic? Or you could measure it in joules, if it's magical energy. Or even volts, if it's like magical potential difference (There is more magical potential over here than the ambient amount of magical potential?) Or magical field strength in teslas? It depends what aspect of magic you're trying to measure.

R1170
Hey guys and girls,
I am trying to create a cavalier specialization for my 3rd fighter fix while coming up with relevant class abilities are somewhat difficult, my biggest issue right now is giving a mount progression.
Well I guess progression is not the term I am looking for, but in short I mean what mounts you can get at certain levels and what effective penalty to your level stronger mounts should get, this is what I have so far, I realize that I do not have any flying mounts so far, but my initial thinking is make them equal to a land based mount +1, so like a hippogriff would be a -3 since to me flying is that much of a game changer.
Id like some help in rounding out this list, and lettingme know if my numbers are decent so far?

A Cleric archetype that is more specialized on domains and less on combat, in many ways akin to the specialty priests of 2nd Edition AD&D, perhaps by having access to a much smaller base list of spells and having casting mostly made up of domain spells.Last edited by JonathonWilder; 2015-12-12 at 05:24 PM.

So essentially this is a standard troll with metal bones (which would corrode if acid were used on it). Here's my suggestion. This troll should be a troll wizard with a lot more Intelligence than your usual troll so he can cast contingency that sets into motion the resurrection should he die.
This is a troll with access to a LOT of money (making metal bones shouldn't be cheap) and exchanging them with its own bones should be a long and rather painful process). Basically, you are looking at a troll with 11 levels of wizard and Intelligence 16. This is a CR 16 creature.

Re: Request a Homebrew: Thread 3
Sorry that I have absolutely nothing for you. When I think of a witch doctor I think of shrunken heads and love potions. Spellcasters don't need extra goodies, they have enough oomph from casting spells. I'd say it's complete as is.
Next request will be R 1172 (in case people were confused).
FYI please read first post in this thread as R tags are for initial requests and everything else is either C or H. It makes it a lot easier to follow the threads when multiple are active.

A monster for my Pathfinder game, it is essentially a moving stone statue comparable thematically to a gargoyle, but in a shark's form, it will need a swim speed as such, no flying. it would be nice if it could catch a target with it's jaws as part of a bite, but it's not a deal breaker. The ideal CR would be approximately 5 or 6. If you someone could write a piece on advancement for future tweaking that would be gravy but optional.P.Z. - gamer; friend; royalty. 'Tis a pleasure.

Re: Request a Homebrew: Thread 3
C173
I've been toying with templates a lot in PF lately so my apologies if this isn't exactly what you were after.
The Constructed Template applied to a shark could be used to make a golem-like shark. Similarly this Clockwork template would do the same just remove the word clockwork from the text and you're fine.
If you're actually looking for a shark-gargoyle hybrid the Amalgam Template is actually pretty fair and balanced if used correctly. The Amalgam would have a CR appropriate to its abilities and the higher of the two creature's HD.
In a game I ran once I had the players in a flooding room when a shark dropped from the ceiling. Turns out it wasn't a shark but an elaborate trap wherein a Bear Trap had been modified and attached to the front of a floating, shark-shaped buoy which in turn had a mechanized paddle attached to the back. The net effect was a shark-like chomping trap which killed two NPCs before the players could disarm the thing.
Your request reminded me of that scene so I thought I'd mention it as the trap rules for PF would allow you to design and build whatever shark-thing you'd need for a given situation, so long as that situation required a trap.

I'm not as good with Pathfinder as I am with 3.5 so you should double check this stat block. You can advance this by HD and by size. At 12 HD it could be Huge. Also, here is a link to Swim-By Attack feat: http://www.d20pfsrd.com/feats/3rd-pa...swim-by-attack Dspeyer had a good idea of adding a tail slap so I amended this to add that too even though sharks don't have a tail slap.

D&D 3.5 edition
I'd like to have a prestige class for this deity:
A demigod (male) of absolute successes and great mistakes; fumbles and criticals. Chaotic Neutral. Domains: Chaos, Luck and Destruction.
It's a recently ascended deity, so nothing much can be told about him. I'd like to have a 5-level or 10-level prestige class for divine classes (must worship that deity) that would concentrate on failing and succeeding. Nothing too powerful, something that could stand among the Core PrCs. Keep it simple, please, it's for simple people. The requirements could be loose or strict.Last edited by Dr TPK; 2015-12-21 at 11:20 AM.
