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 […]

MARTIAL ARCHETYPE: BUSHI

A subclass versos of the original 1e Oriental Adventures bushi. BUSHI Bushi are masterless warriors, men without ties to a lord, temple, or monastery.

A few may be kensai who […]

FEAT: MARTIAL ARTS (v2.0)

This is an alternate version that splits up the feats into individual schools. This approach has less customisation but has fewer moving parts and would be easier to run – so less likely to be unbalancing. Version 1.0 is here. MARTIAL ARTIST You have training in one of the martial arts traditions of Carao (or […]

Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier

Jingasa of the Fortunate Soldier Wondrous Item, very rare (requires attunement) This conical iron jingasa, or war hat, grants the wearer a +1 bonus to AC. When struck by a critical hit or sneak attack, the wearer can use a reaction to negate the critical hit or sneak attack. The damage is instead rolled normally. This […]

GYOUBU MASATAKA ONIWA

Played this today, turning into a dragon was key. Without it, the fight would have been shorter and not as interesting. The total hit point was 300 for the shogun/dragon, once the dragon was killed the shogun reset to 150 hps effectively making for a 3 phase fight. Worked well. Thanks for the ideas ENWORLD! The dragon-spirit […]
