Travelling to the Phoenix Ruby Tournament

I took the Phoenix Ruby Tournament and updated it to 5e and for my campaign – details on how I changed the flow and individual battles you can see in the adventure path flowchart. The flowchart will make sense of the individual posts in this series. They first had to get there and they decided […]

Rimiko of the Five Storms

Original adventure used a yukka-onna – a type of white lady ghost undead. I replaced her with a Five Storm Wind/Ice oni named Rimiko. The fight had two phases with the second phase potentially triggering a dominated kami but my PCs stopped the ritual before that happened. This was the boss fight that ended the […]

Ithkarsus – Epic Kraken Cleric

Looking to use Raising of Redshore (Dungeon 092) as a gateway to epic leveling as well as a way to bring the octopi into the Oni Wars. Here is one of the more interesting enemies converted to 5e. Ithkarsus has a dire shark animal companion (use a dragon turtle stat block). I really don’t like […]

INFESTED STATUE

Another monster stolen from Sekiro – the Immortal Monk. My PCs bypassed these as well as one of my players had played Sekiro and when he saw a giant centipede burst out of a monk statue he told the party to run. Built of a flesh golem. Part of the Hungry Storm adventure (a combination […]

KOORI no ONI (Type I, II and III)

I tend to base my oni on giants take a leaf out of the Paizo book of oni design. This fits both the historical mythology (oni tended to all be giants) as well as the D&D mythology with the ogre-mage (a magical ogre). The reason there are three variants is because during the Hungry Storm […]

THE JACKAL MASTER

During the Hungary Storm adventure, the party has to deal with a mob of re-animated ice-zombies. This was a mini-boss type encounter that my party bypassed completely as they were badly injured from the phase 1 fight with Rimiko and were running to kill her in phase 2. THE JACKAL MASTER Unique Mukurokoori Monk Medium undead, […]

MUKUROKOORI MONK

During the Hungary Storm adventure, the party has to deal with a mob of re-animated ice-zombies. Not a threat individually but there are 90+ of these guys wandering around and they all get triggered and some point during the adventure. MUKUROKOORI MONK Medium undead, neutral evil Armor Class 12 (blue dyed leather scale) Hit Points 76 (9d8 + […]

Yamata-No-Orochi

After finishing Nioh recently I was surprised that the Japanese essentially have a Tiamat of their own. I couldn’t miss the opportunity to convert my Tiamat into Yamata-no-Orochi. Yamata-No-Orochi is the legendary japanese mystical creature, it’s said to have eight heads and eight tails, the name Orochi is a reference to the ancient reading in Kanji which […]

Master this balance and the five elements, and you shall fear no man or yokai. Your magic is fuelled by your dedication to the cosmological idea of […]
