I have new rules for voting. Please read these, as a violation may result in your vote not being counted:
Spoiler- Please only vote for the options provided. Write-in options are largely discouraged. In exchange, I will offer a wide variety of options, including a few that would normally be impossible, given the previously-chosen aspects. The only exception to this would be for Special Abilities. I do encourage people to write in any Special Abilities that they find appropriate (either from published monsters or homebrewed), & people are free to vote for those, if they so choose.
- Please do not criticize or disparage the votes of other forum members. Let the votes fall where they may. A later VUAM may go your way instead, so just be patient, & allow other voters to voice their own opinions.
- Please do not offer suggestions on the monster’s concept, behavior, appearance, etc. That is all part of my creative process, & it is stifling to consider write-ins. It is also unfair to other voters, as many do not make suggestions, & suggestions are not voted upon anyway.
- If you must change your vote, please let me know that you are doing so, & what your original vote was. I tally votes often, to keep post #1 up to date, & it’s hard enough to keep track of which posts haven’t been tallied yet.
- If your vote cannot be tallied due to violation of any of these rules, I will post to inform you of that before voting ends. I will also ask you to modify your vote, so that it may be changed.
I am, again, soliciting votes on a number of aspects on this next creature. Here are the aspects, in order:

Re: Vote Up a Monster (3.X) #4: The Quest for Votes
I'm glad that everyone likes the new rules for voting. I think it just clarifies what I've been asking people to do already, which isn't much. I've added a 5th rule, but it's really a rule for me, not the voters.
BTW, all votes are currently tallied.

Re: Vote Up a Monster (3.X) #4: The Quest for Votes
Well, we are being hosted by Giant in the playground, so I would find that appropriate.
Nice rules, btw.
Also, VUAM 4e #2 should be up sometime soon - maybe this weekend. I wish I could use all the great monsters these threads generate!My Homebrew

Elemental.
I would really like to see a game made by Obryn, Kurald Galain, and Knaight from these forums.

Re: Vote Up a Monster (3.X) #4: The Quest for Votes
Alright, the votes are completely tallied, & the winner is:
Elemental!
So, the creature is going to be an Elemental. I guess you guys don't think I did enough elementals in my Elemental Plane of Flesh. Giant put up a valiant fight, but tough luck; maybe next time. So next, I need you guys (& girls) to vote on the creature's Subtype. Votes will be tallied regularly. As always, please only vote for 1 subtype, & please peruse the voting rules. Thank you for voting.
