KEITO and NOBU

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. These ogres are built on the Legend of Five Rings ogres who become more intelligent and drift towards neutrality the further and longer they are […]

The Blazing Bull

A monster in my Oriental Adventure campaign. PCs calmed it down and turned it into a an army unit (I am using Stronghold and Followers for castle management) after taking over Ashina Castle. Inspired by the boss of the same name from Sekiro. THE BLAZING BULL Huge beast, unaligned Armor Class 12 (natural armor) Hit Points 84 […]

The Sakura Dragon 桜竜

Inspired by the Sekiro boss – the Divine Dragon – here is the sakura dragon. Created for my Oriental Adventure Campaign but I really don’t have a use for him. CR is low to reflect the fact that he is a gimmick boss in Sekiro and very easy. THE SAKURA DRAGON Huge dragon, neutral Armor […]

TOICHI no KANSEN

TOICHI no KANSEN Large elemental Armor Class 17 Hit Points 126 Speed 30 ft., burrow 30 ft. […]

YOKAI

YOKAI Yokai are any creatures that originate beyond the mortal realm. All kami and oni are yokai but not all […]

Boss Fight: Enoch the Archmage

My players faced the third boss of the adventure – Enoch the Archmage. This is part of the 5e conversion of A Darkness Gathering. Though this is a tough mob it is, essentially, a straight up legendary per the standard rules. I did tweak it as Enoch was designed to take on 8 PCs (ended […]

Boss Fight: Johann the Daymaster

My players faced the second boss of the adventure – Johann Lipseige the Daymaster. In the original adventure, it is Janine the Thieves Guild Mistress. This was the first major fight of the campaign. This is not the exact one I ran as I updated it to reflect what happened in the adventure and tweaked […]
