Two-Headed Giant Vulture

My PCs recently derailed a whole bunch of my planning through creative play – which is fine, the surprises make the game more entertaining for me this way – they ended up in the Slumbering Ursine Dunes and here are converted monsters for my own reference with abbreviated 5e stat blocks. Its a really […]

bodak geiko

These mobs were purposely created to show how the bad guys can use the Oiran class against them. Was a fun encounter as the PCs realised they prefer not to be on the receiving end of the geiko’s buffing songs. BODAK GEIKO Medium undead, chaotic evil Armor Class 15 (natural armor, tattered kimono) Hit Points 58 (9d8 + 18) Speed 30 […]

Akinosa

Akinosa Large monstrosity (shapechanger, yokai), neutral evil Armor Class 19 (natural armor) Hit Points 129 (13d10 + 52) Speed 50 ft., […]

Half blooded Okami (i.e. their father was a non-oni, in this case a hobgoblin bakemono) are either humanoids or monstrosities depending on what exactly is birthed. They both have similar appearances – long […]

Bright Flame the Magical Girl

With the Oriental Adventure conversions complete back to my actual campaign which involves a tournament to win the Mortal Blade. To make sense of these entries you will need to look at the adventure flowchart which gives context and explains my changes but it’s essentially a conversion of the Ruby Phoenix Tournament but with a […]
