Kochiyama, Kami of the Mountain

A monster in my Oriental Adventure campaign. PCs negotiated with them and turned the into special military units/followers (I am using Stronghold and Followers for castle management) after taking over Ashina Castle. I ran a heavily modified Frozen Wind (with heavy doses of The Hungry Storm – in particular the tower battle) as a bit of a side […]

Like elementals, they can be wild and dangerous […]

ORIENTAL ADVENTURES BESTIARUM VOCABULUM

No treatment of Oriental Adventures would be complete without some mobs in the mix. Here is an overview of PHB mobs and some animal suggestions. To add a bit more uniqueness to the the mix I recommend you use The Last Airbenders approach to fauna – essentially making hybrid animals. For example the polar-dog and […]

OA BESTIARY: FOO LION

There can be no mistaking this animal-like creature for a mere beast, for its face has an almost supernaturally human look to it.
