Level Adjustment:     ----

"There is a being who can teach you to defeat the vampires of the mountains.  But he will ask a terrible price, and in the end you may prefer the bloodsuckers to him..."[/B]

Pacu Pati is the Lord of all evil things, and all Undead pay him homage.  I can't find a description of him, but one assumes like most Indian deities or beings he is humanoid with some monstrous features.

Summon the Dead (Su): The Pacu Pati can cast Summon Monster IX at will as a Supernatural ability.  However, instead of the usual creatures, the Pacu Pati can only summon 1 Undead of CR 10, or 1d3 undead of CR 8, or 1d4+1 of CR 7 or less.

Lord of Darkness (Su): The Pacu Pati can cast Dominate Monster at will as a Supernatural ability, but only on creatures with an Evil alignment.  This even effects Mindless undead who are normally immune to it's effects.

Combat: Anyone wishing to fight Pacu Pati must first cut their way through crowd of undead and monsters eternally at his side.  He can be bargained with, but doing so is a treacherous thing.

"Don't go to the cemetary at night.  You won't come back the same."

Mmbyu are a race of demonic vampires that possess the living (and sometimes the dead) to kill and torment people.

Possession (Su): Identical to the Malevolence ability used by Ghosts on page 118 of the Monster Manual, with one exception. It can also be used to possess a corpse, in which case the Mmbyu uses the physical stats of a zombie of the appropriate size.  While possessing this corpse the Mmbyu can make it appear as it did in life, and has some access to it's memories.  It does not possess the skills of a dead architect for example, but would remember his relatives and what their names/relationships to him were.

Immunities: Mmbyu have all the immunities possessed by the Undead, but aren't vulnerable to Turning like them.

Combat: Mmbyu have no means of attacking opponents other than possessing them.  More often they possess fresh corpses to cause trouble.  If the body is destroyed they do not care.  they can always find another one.

Feats: Blind-Fight, Combat Reflexes, Eyes in the Back of Your Head, Flick of the Wrist, Improved Feint, Improved Initiative, Quick Draw
Environment: Any City
Organization: Unique
Challenge Rating: 18
Treasure: None
Alignment: Chaotic Evil
Advancement: 21+ HD (Medium)
Level Adjustment: -----

Roofwalker (Ex): Jack permanently seems to have a Spider Climb spell in effect on his person, but only so long as he is in a manmade village or city.

Traveler (Su): Jack's Knife is a large butcher's knife, doing 3d6 damage.  It is a +5 Unholy Vorpal weapon, threatens a critical on a 19-20, and if it is taken from Jack he can teleport it back into his hand as a move equivalent action regardless of the distance it is from him, or even across other Planes of existence.  His Knife may inflict damage from critical hits on targets that are normally immune to them, such as undead or Oozes.  On occasion he will let someone steal his knife and pretend to be chasing them in order to get it back, but in reality the knife is cursed.  Anyone who actually uses it in combat must make a DC 25 Willpower Save (Save DC is 10 plus half Jack's Hit Dice plus Jack's Charisma Modifier unlike most items), or permanently become a Chaotic Evil Psychopath as if they had accepted Jack's Bargain (see below).  If they commit an act of murder or torture with it, they receive no save and are cursed immediately.  As with accepting the Bargain, they do not realize anymore that they are different, and have no sense of right or wrong.  Nor do they wish to be cured.  Jack's Knife is considered a Major Artifact.

Frightening Presence (Ex):Sneak Attack (Ex) Identical to the class ability listed on page 50 of the PHB.

Immunities (Ex): Jack is immune to poison, paralysis, polymorph, disease, sleep effects, and mind-affecting effects.

Bargain (Su): Jack is occasionally willing to let an opponent go when he wants some amusement.  He tells them that he will let them live as long as they (or optionally whoever is closest to them) returns to the point he met them at within 7 days.  If the victim agrees, he knows their location (or the location of whoever is supposed to meet him) at all times until the 7 days is over.  During the 7 days Jack will secretly be keeping watch on his victim, and he will murder everyone close to them if he fails to keep the Bargain.  Should his victim show up, Jack will tell them that he will let them go so long as they perform a task for him.  Sometimes the victim gets "lucky", and he is made to perform something that Jack needs done, but doesn't wish to do (or cant do) himself (an example would be "go into the forest, and bring back this person", or "remove this protective talisman from the door of this person").  At other times, he is doomed.  Jack rarely lets anyone go unscathed.  he will give them his Knife and ask them to perform some horrifying task they might not normally do in exchange for their life and the lives of everyone they know.  This act is always extremely horrifying, and it often is enough to drive the victim mad or cause an alignment change under normal circumstances.  An example would be "Take your neighbors infant son, carve all the flesh from it's skull, and eat it raw".  If the unfortunate victim can't do this, Jack will murder him immediately, and his loved ones will follow. If he can perform the act, he is cursed until a Miracle or Wish spell is cast.  If he cannot get a cure he will live his life as a broken shell of a man, driven permanently insane. His alignment changes to Chaotic Evil, and he effectively becomes a psychopath (see here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychopathy ), with an especial hatred for his former friends and family.  He no longer remembers what it is like to be anything other than what he is (an insane killer), nor does he wish to be cured, and will actively fight anyone attempting to do so.  Some are smart enough to hide their condition for a time, but all of them eventually lose patience and kill someone they shouldn't.  Jack considers it a great joke to permanently corrupt others into beings like himself.

Forbidden Knowledge (Su): This is in all ways identical to the Bardic Knowledge Ability, except that Jack uses his Hit Dice instead of his Bard level.

Control City (Su): Jack can control the city he is in to some extent.  As a Swift Action he can silently open, close, or lock any portal (windows,doors, etc).  If locked they remain closed as if by an Arcane Lock spell.  If he is in a modern city he can turn any utility (gas, electricity, water, etc) on or off as a Swift Action.  If the city is modern enough to have computers he can learn anything in the cities records as a Standard Action (which basically means he can learn anyone's personal information as a standard action).  He can also cause short circuits, or redirect water or power in such a way as to cause electrical panels to catch fire or pipes burst as a Standard Action.  Range is 120'.

Unearthly Grace (Su): Jack gains a Deflection Bonus to his Saving Throws and Armor Class equal to his Charisma Modifier.

Immortal (Ex):: Jack does not appear to age or be affected by aging effects.  So long as he is not killed he appears to be effectively immortal.

Enhanced Senses (Ex):Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Identical to the class ability listed on page 50 of the PHB.

Improved Uncanny Dodge (Ex): Identical to the class ability listed on page 50 of the PHB.

Evasion: Identical to the class ability listed on page 50 of the PHB.

Regeneration (Ex): Jack regenerates 5 points of damage per round, unless that damage comes from natural sources.  For example a man made trap would not kill him, but he could not regenerate damage from an avalanche, or if hit by lightning in a storm.  Likewise he cannot regenerate damage from weapons made without manufacturing (i.e. using a tree branch as a club).  Natural weapons and unarmed strikes bypass his regeneration if they are not enhanced by spells or supernatural effects.  If in doubt, assume any spell, spell like ability, or supernatural ability is affected by his regeneration, and extraordinary abilities are not.  Druid spells are a manipulation of nature, but are still an unnatural enough creation that they cannot bypass Jack's regeneration.

Skills (Su): Jack has a +6 Racial Bonus to all skills he has at least one rank in while within the limits of a village, town, or city.  He also appears capable of speaking almost any language flawlessly and with a native accent.

Combat: Combat generally depends on Jack's mood.  If he wants to go slow, he'll merely chip away at his opponent and use fear to drive them to flee for their lives, slowly torturing them to death once he has waited long enough.  He seems to crave acts of cruelty almost like a drug, so whatever would be worst for his victims mental state is usually the path he pursues.  On the odd chance he's simply irritable and impatient he just walks up to someone random and slaughters them on the spot.  Usually he's scouted a target days in advance, so he knows what they're capable of.

Lore
Characters with ranks in Knowledge (Local) or the Bardic Knowledge ability may have heard the stories about Bloody Handed Jack. When the character makes a skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from lower DCs.

Plot Hook
  • One of the PC's has spent years trying to find a murderer in her home city, only to find that while traveling that similar murders seem to have occurred in many places around the world, most of them heavily populated.  Then she begins to hear stories about a knife wielding madman who seems unkillable, and is somehow able to appear just about anywhere he wants to.  While meeting with a group of fellow travelers (i.e. the party) at a local Inn they find the owners and their son murdered.  Standing over them is a tall man in a black coat who smiles at them, and promises to see them soon before fading away.
  • The PC's city is being assaulted by an army of Hobgoblins.  The walls have fallen and there is now fighting in the streets.  During the melee the PC's see a strange black figure killing the invaders, and stringing their bodies up from the lap posts.  At first they take no notice, but as the night wears on, they notice not all the bodies are hobgoblins, and some of them very obviously weren't killed by the Hobgoblins longswords.
  • The PC's are recalled home when the local Kings daughter has suddenly become a brutal, murdering psychotic.  Endlessly raving about "the dark man", she is confined to a cell while the group is charged with finding out what exactly happened.
  • The PC's have been tasked with finding out the origin of Bloody Handed Jack with an eye towards destroying him, or, as is rumored, changing him back to 'normal'.  Casting a Commune or Miracle the party Cleric asks his deity for Jack's origin, and what can be done about him.  After a very long pause his God responds by saying "He was Asmodeus' mistake, not ours.  If you must know the truth, seek out the Lord of the Nine and ask him, if he will admit what he has done.  Please do not press me further on this."

Hello this is 911, what is your emergency?"

"THERE'S SOMETHING OUT IN THE YARD!  YOU GOTTA HELP US!"

"What is it?'

"IT'S BIG!"

"What's it doing?"

"IT'S LOOKIN' AT ME!!!"

Movies inevitable portray Sasquatch as horrifying rapists who eat people.   It's amazing they haven't sued for defamation of character yet.

Improved Grab (Ex): If Bigfoot successfully hits with it's Slam attack it can immediately make a Grapple Check as a Free Action without provoking an Attack of Opportunity.  If successful, it can Rend.

Rend (Ex): Bigfoot does 2d6+20 damage with a successful grapple check.

Frightful Presence (Ex): Whenever Bigfoot  attacks or charges all opponents within 30' must make a DC 22 Willpower Save (Save DC is Cha Based) or be Shaken for 5d6 rounds.  If they succeed they are immune to this Bigfoots Frightful Presence for 24 hours.

Combat:  Sasquatch divide their time between leisurely beating their opponents to death, or grabbing them and tearing them to pieces.

This is Bigfoot as represented by bad horror movies like Abominable.

BHJ looks like he could stand being buffed up a little spec-wise. Unless I'm missing something, 3d6+5d6 SA+12 at +22 to hit isn't much against a party of level-appropiate characters. Even with all his awesome SAs and SQs, he seems a bit lacking in direct combat as far as pure specs are concerned, but maybe it's just me.
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

He's not really a toe to toe combatant.  He was intended to be a sneaky bastard who murders or tempts lone people, and then disappears.  His ability to teleport to virtually any city in the known world makes it hard to track him unless you have the right spells and get thru his SR. 

I do welcome ideas on boostin' him tho...  :D

"Look, it's night.  I don't go into the local graveyards at night.  I'm not ending up like the towns last gravedigger, I don't care if you need to find somebody's headstone.  You look for it.  I'll stay here and continue living."

This version of the Rakshasa are the graveyard haunting demons who drink the blood of the living, and possess them to cause trouble.

Spells: Rakshasa can cast spells as a 10th level Sorcerer, usually from the Enchantment, Illusion, and Necromancy schools.

Poison (Ex) Injury, DC 22 Fortitude Save, Initial and Secondary Damage 1d6 Constitution.  Save DC is Constitution based.

Blood Drain (Ex): If the Rakshasa can successfully Pin it's opponent in a Grapple it Drains 1d4 points of Constitution each turn the pin is maintained.

Form of Beauty (Su): As a Standard Action the Rakshasa can assume the form of an incredibly beautiful member of the opponents species (this is usually done before the opponent notices the Rakshasa is there).  Any living creature within 60' that can see the Rakshasa (that would reasonably find it attractive) must make a DC 24 (Save DC is Charisma Based) Willpower Save, or be Fascinated for 2d6 rounds or Charmed (as per the Charm Monster spell), the Rakshasa chooses when deciding to use this ability.  If the Save is successful, the opponent is immune to this Rakshasa's Form of Beauty ability for 24 hours.

Form of Terror (Su): As a Standard Action the Rakshasa can assume a shape it's opponents find terrifying.  Any living creature that can see it within 60' must make a DC 24 (Save DC is Charisma Basd) Willpower Save or be Frightened for 2d6 rounds.  If the Save is successful the opponent is Shaken instead, but is immune to further uses of this Rakshasa's Form of terror for 24 hours.

Stench (Ex): Unless it is using it's Form of Beauty the Rakshasa smells like rotting meat.  Any living creature with a sense of smell within 30' must make a DC 20 Fortitude Save or be Nauseated fro 1d6 rounds.  A successful Save means that opponent is immune to this Rakshasa's Stench ability for 24 hours.

Possesssion (Su: This is identical to the Malevolence ability used by Ghosts on page 118 of the MM.

Power of the New Moon (Su): All spells cast by the Rakshasa at the time of the New Moon are at +2 Caster Level.

Dark Power (Su):The Rakshasa has a Profane Bonus to it's Armor Class and Saving Throws equal to it's Charisma Modifier.

Weakness: Rakshasa vanish at the coming of the morning sun as it rises over the horizon.  They reappear at the same spot when the sun goes down.

Combat: Rakshasas usually try to seduce lone opponents using their Form of Beauty, or terrify groups using their Form of Terror.  Judicious use of their spells are then used to whittle the group down, before closing in for the kill with it's poison.  Curious Rakshasa will use their possession ability ot hitch a ride in someone.

He's not really a toe to toe combatant.  He was intended to be a sneaky bastard who murders or tempts lone people, and then disappears.  His ability to teleport to virtually any city in the known world makes it hard to track him unless you have the right spells and get thru his SR. 

I do welcome ideas on boostin' him tho...  :D
About the SR, SR 25 is a joke. A level 14 Wizard can get through that without needing to roll if he just casts one of two spells. One of them is a 1st-level spell. Though maybe that's more of a problem with Wizards in general. :D

Perhaps put him under a Nondetection effect instead, or something like that?
It's all about vision and making reality conform to your vision. By dropping a fucking house on it.

no thoughts on the increased SR?

Expel (Su): The Rakshasa can expel a possessing entity from it's victim (i.e. ghosts, other Rakshasas, etc) by making an opposed level check.

This version of the Kushtaka are the shape shifting otter tricksters from Inuit legend.

Read Thoughts (Su): The Kushtaka can continuously use Detect Thoughts as the spell (caster level 18th, Will Save DC 17 negates).

Otter Form (Su): At will the Kushtaka can assume the form of an otter.  This works like Alternate Form, but the Kushtaka can only assume the form of an Otter (see Stormwrack page 167).

Wild Empathy (Ex): This works like the Druids class ability except the Kushtaka has a +6 Racial modifier.

Hold Breath (Ex): A Kushtaka may hold it's breath underwater for 8 times it's COnstitution modifier in rounds before it risks drowning.

Skills: Kushtaka have a +8 Racial Bonus on Swim checks, and may always Take 10 on Swim checks even if threatened or endangered.  It may use the Run action while swimming in a straight line.

Combat: Kushtaka use their Illusions to save lost people, or (more likely) to send them to their death.  Many save lost tribesmen by turning them into otters.

This is the sasquatch like clawed Kushtaka.

Whistle Lure (Su): Any creature within 100' of the Kushtaka when it whistles must make a DC 19 Will Save or immediately cease what they are doing and head towards the sound.  They regain control once attacked (which usually means by the Kushtaka) or something prevents the Kushtaka from whistling.  Whistling is a Standard action.

Howl (Su): The Kushtaka may cast Fear at will as a Standard action.

Steal Soul (Su): The Kushtaka may cast Finger of Death 3 times per day as a Supernatural ability.

Combat: Usually the Kushtaka will use it's whistle to lure victims to it before using it's Steal Soul ability.  If approached by groups it will Howl, and then attempt to Steal Souls.

"Something is behind these dinosaur attacks.  Something...Evil..."

Those of you who collected the old Dinosaurs Attack cards will recognize this one.

Spells: Dinosaur may cast spells as a Wizard equal to his Hit Dice Level (however he requires no spell book).

Flame Sheath (Su): Dinosaur Satan is surrounded by flames.  They add 2d6 fire damage to his grapple attacks and unarmed strikes.  In addition anyone attacking him with a grapple, unarmed strike, or natural weapon takes 2d6 fire damage.

Immunities: Dinosaur Satan is Immune to Cold, Fire, and Acid Damage. he is also immune to poison, polymorph, sleep effects, paralysis, and stunning.

True Seeing (Su): Dinosaur Satan has a continually operating True Seeing spell (20th level caster).

Call Horde (Su): Once per day Dinosaur Satan may call up to 100 Hit Dice worth of Dinosaurs.  They remain with him permanently until destroyed.  This otherwise works like Summon Monster IX.  He cannot have more than 100 Hit Dice present at any one time.

Reptile Mind (Su): Any dinosaur or prehistoric reptile coming within sight of Dinosaur Satan must make a DC 35 Willpower save or permanently become his servant (Save DC is Charisma Based).  Servants will do anything he commands, up to and including taking their own lives.

Combat: Dinosaur Satan prefers to use summoned Dinosaurs and remain behind the scenes.  If confronted he actually likes physical combat as opposed to spells, and unless he believes the opponent is a  threat he will attempt a Grapple.

Devil Beasts are strange offshoots of normal animals that dwell in dark places.  In some dark corner of the world death is so common that the ground is cursed, and all the animals there are bloodthirsty carnivores.  This seems particularly common in primitive worlds (remember those old dinosaur comics where they were all meat eaters).  While no more intelligent than the average animal they are quite crafty.

Example of creature using template here:


                      Triceratops
                      Huge Animal
