Akinosa

The Japanese doppelgänger. Residents of the gutted pagoda. The kumo are at war with the oni and okami. Built off the 5E/4E drider. I didn’t get to use Akinosa but a DM always reuses his stuff so he appears later re-skinned. Akinosa Large monstrosity (shapechanger, yokai), neutral evil Armor Class 19 (natural armor) Hit Points 129 (13d10 + 52) Speed 50 ft., […]

the gossamer

Hok Fong the Eunuch

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 […]
