GitP Regulars as Elder Evils!

[Snowbluff]

Oh boy, this should be fun.

What an Elder Evil? Well, according to this Elder Evils books I have but never bothered looking at, they are "Evils to challenge the gods!"

So they are epic tier badness. They'll have signs of their arrival, backgrounds, evil goals. It's bad stuff. If you want to write stats for these things, they can take epic feats and have specific Elder Evil traits, but that's not OGL so I can't replicate that for you here. Just write "Elver Evil Traits" or use the abomniation ones. A cool drawing would be cool, too.

Your computer must not have the proper fonts downloaded, or they're not displaying properly. Some problem with technology and the language. They don't mesh very well for some reason.

[eggynack]

Here, I, eggynack, shall give permission to be represented as an evil the elderness of whom shall ne'er come into question.

[Tvtyrant]

I give permission! On my phone right now so i will color in this post later, and I call dibs on Eggynack and Extra Anchovies.

[Snowbluff]

There is no dibs. You can exist in multiples in the same place, if you want.

Also, not everyone has the black speech fonts loaded, so %#@)*@)!) %$)@*$&) )*@!#Y@, okay?

Not sure if I did this right but

Vee Anchoes

Ages ago, before primordial beings forged the Great Wheel, the Inner Planes were formed. One of the primordial beings that performed this feat rebelled against the others, raging against their plan and was destroyed by its compatriots, fractured and fragmented by its former fellows. This entity was sealed within the Negative Energy Plane, scattered upon the eddies and currents of necrotic energy which flowed through the plane (Knowledge the Planes DC 37). For ages the creature's seal was complete. Then someone called upon the dark energies of the plane to re-animate the dead. And Vee Anchoes was born.

A fragment of the primordial being, twisted beyond recognition, drawn forth into the world, and instilled into a new body, Vee Anchoes hid its mind until its animate form was destroyed. Then this spirit of death hid within the prime material plane, deep inside the bowels of the world and waited. Whenever a creature was animated by necromantic magic a new portion of the primordial was released into the world, and Vee Anchoes whispered to it drawing it into itself upon the destruction of its corporeal form. Thus Vee Anchoes has grown with each undead formed, waiting to obtain sufficient power with which to move forth. (Knowledge the Planes DC 40)

It is said that the primordial entity is responsible for the first wights, creating them to spread undeath and release more and more of it into the prime. It is even hinted that other spawning undead, such as vampires, wraiths, shadows, and ghouls may have their origins within it. Or else that it influenced the gods themselves to create them. (Knowledge the planes DC 43)

Goals:

Once it has grown to sufficient size and power, Vee Anchoes plans to go forth from its hidden pit (Knowledge the Planes DC 37). It will take upon itself a physical form and it will seek out the largest population center, and raze it to the ground, converting its populace into the undead. (Knowledge the Planes DC 40). It will continue this task until it has created enough undead to split the boundaries of worlds and allow the negative energy plane to spill out across reality saturating it with death (Knowledge the Planes DC 43).

Sign:

Vee Anchoes uses the same sign as Atropus because it's appropriate (see Elder Evils page 2).

Malefic Property:

Primal Corruption
The presence of Vee Anchoes taints and twists the world, seeping into the central vitality of those who come nearby.
Benefit: The area around Vee Anchoes becomes tainted causing 1 point of Corruption (Heroes of Horror) the first time it is entered within 24 hours, an forcing a Fortitude save (DC 10 + 1/2 Vee Anchoes's HD + Vee's Cha modifier) every 10 minutes or gain an additional point of Corruption.

Traits/Tactics/Etc:

Vee Anchoes will initially appear in its corporeal form when its sign becomes strong, creating an overwhelming version of its sign within 10 miles. It will attack a major city. If its corporeal form is destroyed Vee Anchoes will revert to its incorporeal form retreating deep within the earth to reform. At this strength even intelligent undead can feel its pull and attempt to control them, allowing a lich or vampire which does not want to see the world destroyed to tell the PCs where (possibly after it's reformed once). Its incorporeal form can be destroyed, acting as a massive strength and constitution draining incorporeal undead. In both forms Vee Anchoes has the ability to command undead absolutely, bypassing all other forms of control.

So, me as... me, then? Very well. Do your wickedest.

Also, Red Fel, I'll do yours right now

Red Fel. Done.

Not actually going to do one. My creative energy is all directed at homebrew and worldbuilding right now. Though these may be helpful

[PsyBomb]

I am greatly curious what will come of this one.

I, PsyBomb, grant permission

Ooh ooh! Make me a horrible apocalyptic being! Permission granted!

I got you Red. To give you an idea, take a look at your deity creation by me.

[Leliel]

Do as you wish.

Also, quick note: Leliel comes from a vaunted time when I was still a hardcore NGE fan. It's literally the name of the Angel of Night, and its meaning is Jaw of God.

Just a quick tip.

...please can I be Elder Evil now?

I was told I should give my permission for this. Consider it so done.

Red Fel

Amongst the most evil of creatures ever birthed upon the multiverse are the baernaloths. This ancient disease riddled evil emerged from the early mists of reality, creating the yugoloths as their servitors. Of the modern races which inhabit the Lower Planes only the obyriths are older than the yugoloths. (Knowledge the Planes DC 32). In fact the first ultraloth sensing the taint of Law and Chaos within his brethren gathered them together and taking the Heart of Evil expelled this taint from them and into larva gathered from across the Gray Wastes. These larva were then driven to the Abyss and Baator where they became the Tanar'ri and Baatezu (Kn. the Planes DC 35).

Even the yugoloths' secret records do not tell who gave the General of Gehenna the Heart of Evil, but its source was one of the baernaloths. A devious and twisted creature named Red Fel. This baernaloth had seen how his fellows had cast out Apomps for the creation of his own race in the gehreleths, and sought a way to duplicate the act without the same exile. In creating the Heart of Evil he created the seeds of a new species of fiend. Where yugoloths, obyriths, and the ancient baatorians spawned naturally from their planes, the baatezu and tanar'ri spawned from the souls of the damned. (Kn. the Planes DC 44).

The Baernaloths retreated into the depths of the Gray Waste but Red Fel wasn't finished. Red Fel's next step was to guide the two races into meeting. He whispered into the mind of one of the first fledgeling Baatezu, some say the fiend later to become Asmodeus, spurring it to send its forces on a trek across the planes, even as he stirred the spirits of tanar'ri to do the same, leading to their first meeting and the beginning of the Blood War (Kn. the Planes DC 47).

This is what caused him to attract the attention of the solars. After a long battle Red Fel was defeated by the forces of Heaven, but a part of his spirit managed to escaped. Greatly weakened it fled to a phylactery he had prepared just in case this happened. The forces of the Upper Planes to this day still seek this phylactery where it is hidden upon a Prime Material Plane (Kn. the Planes DC 50).

Goals:

Red Fel's goals are simple. The corruption of all life. The creation of the Baatezu and Tanar'ri along with the Blood War, while preventing an endless war with heaven has stirred the forces of evil into widespread corruption and recruitment from mortals. After his defeat at the hands of the Nine Solars, Red Fel's plans have changed slightly. His new state has left him vulnerable and tied to the Prime Material Plane. His new plan involves the corruption of his individual prime, the introduction of Evil into it, and the eventually merger of it and a Lower Plane. When the Prime merges with a Lower Plane he will be able to return to his previous power and create a second phylactery plane elsewhere in case Heaven once more seeks his end.

Sign:
Shadows of Despair
The sky grew gray and heavy, dark though the sun remained high in the sky. Hope drained from us one by one, leaving nothing but despair and dread.

Effects:
Faint: Creatures suffer a -2 penalty to saves against Fear, and a -4 penalty on Craft and Profession checks. Creatures must succeed at a DC 2 Will save each day or succumb to an extreme lethargy and lose all desire to do anything without external pressure from another living creature for 1 day, even thirst and starvation not stirring them; Evil aligned creatures gain a +4 to their save against this effect.
Moderate: The sky grows dim. The moon and stars provide 1/2 their normal illumination and undead creatures which are harmed by sunlight (such as wraiths and vampires) suffer no penalty from sunlight. The penalty to saves against Fear increases to -3, and the DC to avoid lethargy increases to 5. The plane gains a Minor Evil alignment.
Strong: Creatures can no longer receive morale bonuses. The sky grows still dimmer. Even by sunlight creatures can only see 150-ft as bright illumination and everything beyond is shadowy. The DC to avoid lethargy increases to 8. Animal and Vermin gain the Fiendish template.
Overwhelming: The plane gains a Major Evil alignment. The stars are no longer visible at night and even the moon barely provides light (20-ft shadowy, increasing to 30-ft on a moonless night), and even the sun's light merely provides shadows (150-ft shadowy illumination no bright light). Fear is significantly more powerful (-5 to saves to resist it) and the DC to avoid lethargy increases to 12, whole villages succumbing to despair and dying.

Malefic Property:
In addition to the normal malefic property common to all Elder Evils, Red Fel has Whispers of Evil.

Whispers of Evil: Any creature which sleeps within the range of this Malefic Property has their dreams haunted by strange whispering seductions and must make a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 Red Fel's HD + Red Fel's Charisma modifier) or have their alignment shift one step towards Evil (Good becomes Neutral, Neutral becomes Evil).

Traits/Tactics/Etc
Red Fel is an undead outsider of primordial age and pure Evil. Awakening after millennia finally reformed he sets across the plane seeking to corrupt and twist as much towards evil as possible. He acts at first primarily via agents, his form still incomplete, creating a variety of religions of evil across the plane, and luring baatezu and tanar'ri recruitment agents onto it. As more and more of the plane falls to Evil, Red Fel's power (and his sign) grows and he will eventually emerge onto the world as a veritable living god supported by his prepared religion. From there he will attempt to corrupt or kill any good aligned creature left on the plane allowing it to finally merge with the Lower Planes.

Fel

"Asmodeus, Tiamat, Lucifer. The rulers of the various hells across the universe, known for being near infinite in power. Yet there is one deity so old, that all but the oldest of creatures have forgotten him, and even then, he is only remembered as a long gone memory. However, this great being is not gone, in fact, he is the very opposite. When someone speaks of Baator, they speak of him. When someone speaks of the pit, they speak of him. When someone speaks of Infernus, or Abaddon, they speak of him. He is Fel, oldest ruler of hell. He is hell."

Fel is the literal body, the landscape, the driving evil behind the lower planes. There is no evil in the multitude of planes more primal, more pure, more vile than the being known as Fel. The still-born god called Atropus is naught but a particle of sand before this thing. The extent of Fel's power is so great that not even the fractured consciousnesses of the Dark Tapestry beyond creation can hope to match it, not puny Cthulhu, not Yog-Sothoth, not even the terrible Nylarthotep.

To gaze upon Fel is to gaze upon something far worse than death. To gaze upon Fel is to feel your insignificant spark of life snuffed out, to feel your soul shredded into a myriad of pieces and consumed, to be woven in eternal torment into this terrible entity's power. There is no chance for you.

Goals: Fel seeks to bring an avatar back from slumber to raze the life upon this world (DC 37 Knowledge Planes) in order to consume the life energies to fuel it's destruction and extinguishing of all other planes and to force them under Fel's control and subjugation (DC 40 Knowledge Planes), and to reawaken and reunite its fractured body from the pieces of Baator, the Abyss, and Abaddon in order to devour the very gods themselves (DC 43 Knowledge Planes)

Signs

Faint: Weakened Contracts- When attempting to force evil outsiders to serve via Planar Ally, Gate, or similar effects, the caster of the aforementioned spell or spell-like ability takes a -4 penalty to the Charisma check unless they are an Evil Outsider of equal or Higher CR, or have an Aura of Evil the strength of an Evil Outsider twice the summoned Outsider's CR. Evil Outsiders summoned this way serve half as long as dictated by the caster, and may attempt a will save with a DC of 10+The Caster's Level+The Caster's Key Ability modifier to break free of the Caster's control.
Moderate: Soul Harvest- Upon death, the creature in question must make a will save with a DC of 20 to avoid being stolen by a fiend. Souls stolen this way are exceptionally hard to revive, and the caster of the revive effect upon the target must make a Concentration Check equal to 20 plus the target's HD to successfully revive them. Souls who fail their save also take one step towards evil in terms of alignment.
Strong: Broken Contracts- Evil Outsiders may no longer be affected by spells or spell-like abilities such as Planar Ally, Gate, or similar effects unless they so choose. They also gain a +4 Profane Bonus to all ability scores, their natural armor increases by +5, and their DR improves by five. If they do not have DR, they gain DR 5/Good and Silver if they are LE, Good and Cold Iron if they are CE, and Good and Silver or Cold Iron if they are NE. This DR improves by 5 for every five HD they possess.
Overwhelming: Soul Devouring: If any creature with an INT score of 3 or higher dies within 30 ft. of an Evil Outsider of their HD or Greater, they must make a Will Save with a DC of 10+1/2 The Outsider's HD+The Outsider's Highest Mental Score or be permanently devoured. Creatures that fail this save are impossible to resurrect, and the Outsider in question gains a +4 untyped bonus to all ability scores If they are of the same HD or +2 if the outsider has more HD Than the creature. The Outsider also heals a number of hit-points equal to twice the creature's HD.

Malefic Property (Avatar of Fel): All good aligned creatures within 5 miles of the Avatar of Fel are effected by the spell Bestow Curse, though this does not allow for a saving throw our spell resistance to apply.

Avatar of Fel:
CR: Hah, yeah right.

Fel:
CR: Bring along the Lady of Pain and Pun-Pun together and I might consider talking.
