    Default The Baba Yaga

    What do you think of when you think Boogieman?
    Well, in an attempt to make it possible for a slasher flick style game over the summer here is a PrC for the NPC

    TO utilize it to the most, make the PC's use a typically weak class (such as commoner )

    Well, it seems that life has deposited me here, yet again. Hopefully this time I get to stay a while, as I intend on revising some old homebrew.

    Delightfully creepy! For balance purposes I'd put a limit on the Master of Death (e.g. if you die twice within 2 months it's permanent); then again, you intend it as an NPC prestige class so maybe that's not important. Is this based on something, or entirely your own creation?

    Good point there, will edit it

    Actually, I've watched like 3 slashers and that was years ago... so I thought of it in DND, players playing as fighters or something low powered like that, and this was born. so all in all I would say it was all mine.

    edit: changed it up, following your advice and adding a tad.

    I was almost expecting this prestige class to be a reference to this Baba Yaga.

    Now if you were to drop John Wick into a slasher movie it would make most sense to bring him on as a cousin of the intended/canon "final girl", there to protect her along with her friends. This would make the most sense for a more mundane/less supernatural psycho killer, or killers.
