kyojin (gargantua)

Moving onto 2nd edition Oriental Adventures there are a few new monsters in this book that were not in 1e. Converting them here. I was going to skip these originally as I thought they were a bit silly, but, then I thought of Attack on Titan and realised that these can actually be pretty cool […]

The Dead Wedding

The (highly updated) lich(e) from the Dead Wedding adventure. I like tactical encounters but I can’t do them often as they are time-consuming – for example, this encounter took 4 hours with six PCs. But it was a lot of fun for both me and the PCs. Stole the setup from Dungeon 175. I find […]

Regretta, the Bronze Liche

Deadly in combination with the deathshrieker and iron cobra. Used as part of the Bronze Liche encounter. Definitely some Warhammer inspiration in here as well – specifically, the Tomb Kings. Regretta, The Bronze Liche Medium undead (construct), lawful evil Armor Class 17 (natural armor) Hit Points 396 (36d8 + 108) Speed 30 ft. STR DEX […]

Terrifying Iron Cobra

A nice counter to large parties of PCs with lots of actions. Used as part of the Bronze Liche encounter. I didn’t end up using the noxious fumes or poison breath weapon as only 1 PC was every engaged with the cobra. I also forgot 🙂 I used its dazing ability liberally though. A nod […]

The Deathshrieker

A nice counter to large parties of PCs with lots of actions. Used as part of the Bronze Liche encounter. Deathshreaker Medium undead (construct), chaotic evil Armor Class 20 (natural armor) Hit Points 128 (32d8) Speed 0 ft., fly 50 ft. (hover) STR DEX CON INT WIS CHA 1 (-5) 20 (5) 10 (0) 20 […]

yuki-on-na

The final entry for the 3rd edition OA conversion to 5e. DESCRIPTION Beautiful spirits of the frozen wastes, yuki-on-nas are either hateful and destructive or kindly and helpful. In either case, they can be dangerous, since those who pursue them, whatever their intention, often find themselves lost in a blizzard. Yuki-on-nas are virtually never seen except in the […]

wang-liang

Moving on to 3rd edition OA there are a few new monsters in this book that were not in 1e. Converting them here. Wang-liangs are essentially Chinese oni. DESCRIPTION Consumed with jealous rage as their race enters into decline and humanity rises to the fore, the wang-liangs are an ancient, intelligent race of giants […]
