Stupid Quick Blog

 

I realized something recently and thought I should share. For d&d type monsters I always roll for HP the moment they first get hit. This has worked fine and sped things up however it didn’t save much time for high HD monsters, I now realized I can just roll one HD at a time and then simply roll the next HD when the current one gets depleted by a hit.

Not groundbreaking but something I haven’t seen discussed before. I hope this helps you.

Mask 01: Mask of the Iron Warriors

  Hello, welcome to a strange thing I am attempting to start. The great magic mask relay. It begins with one person describing a magical mask, it can be for any length and for any setting they wish, it can even have mechanical implications if the writer desires.  Once they have written this, they are going to tag (be polite, ask them if they are fine being tagged in) another person to write a magic mask and this chain continues until 100 masks have been described. They make sure to link to the blogpost you were tagged in and then once the person after you had made their post link to theirs. The blog posts should be formatted as Mask #: Mask Name.

Nithhugyr

 Back when man ate the planet the nithhugry was made. On command they would hollow out entire mountainsides, now only a few are left, roaming the places few dare to tread. They appear in swarms of 3d100, combined into a singular worm. Each segment is 15’ long and 10’ wide Nithhugyr: HD 2+12 per Segment, Atk 1 Bite (1d12+6) per 5 Segments, AC as Chain + Shield, MV 60' or 40' Burrow, ML 11. Swallow: If a bite attack beats succeeds by 10 or more, the target must save vs Wands or be swallowed whole. If swallowed whole the victim travels down the body at a rate of 1 segment per round, suffering 1d6 damage per segment. If not swallowed whole the victim is hanging on for dear life in the mouth and must make Strength check each round to hold on. Succeeding by 2+ allows for escape, failing by 2+ means swallowing. Break Apart: If a segment is destroyed the swarm becomes two independent worms., Heat Vent: Has a 1-in-12 chance each round to release jets of searing hot air, scalding ...
