Villainous NPCs
« on: November 10, 2009, 04:53:41 AM »
Bloody Initiate should go away right now... this is not for your eyes.
[spoiler]I need some help with an idea for my campaign. Since it's a Pirate-y style campaign, I'm thinking about breaking out some of the bigger aquatic monsters, such as krakens, megalodons and the likes. I want to bring out all the big guns and leave the players shocked by the attacks.

However, I don't like the idea of just having monsters pop out of nowhere and attack the players, I want a reason. So, I thought, why not have them all be under the control/created by an evil wizardy guy?

There in lies my problem: What kind of crazy bastard would have a Kraken? What would the build look like? [/spoiler]
Any ideas?
I don't recall the part of Kamehameha where people launched redwoods at each other.

Giant psychic kraken of course.
Some psion who mindswitched into a kraken and got stuck, now gone quite nutty.

It's also a little cold because of that.
Please get it a blanket.

I wish I could read your mind,
I can barely read mine.

"Just what do you think the moon up in the sky is? Everyone sees that big, round shiny thing and thinks there must be something round up there, right? That's just silly. The truth is much more awesome than that. You can almost never see the real Moon, and its appearance is death to humans. You can only see the Moon when it's reflected in things. And the things it reflects in, like water or glass, can all be broken, right? Since the moon you see in the sky is just being reflected in the heavens, if you tear open the heavens it's easy to break it~"

There is no higher price than 'free'.

Some sort of Illithid pirate captain with some form of magical control over a Kraken? :P

Ideally, using a drum.


So... a bard?
