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 […]

okami leader Shizu

I had this NPC harass the party throughout the adventure withdrawing before she could be cornered. They eventually pinned her at the Lake Bed (see tactics below). But she eventually became a respected enemy and instead of killing her they knocked her out and used the sacred brush to rewrite her memory and alignment. She […]

Shura no Oni

Inspired by Sekiro. Shura (修羅 Carnage) is what those who go on killing eventually become. They don’t remember why, but they are simply enraptured and kill solely for the joy it brings them. These oni are uncontrollable and the best the oni lords can do is point them in a direction and hope they do […]

INFESTED STATUE

Another monster stolen from Sekiro – the Immortal Monk. My PCs bypassed these as well as one of my players had played Sekiro and when he saw a giant centipede burst out of a monk statue he told the party to run. Built of a flesh golem. Part of the Hungry Storm adventure (a combination […]

GYOUBU MASATAKA ONIWA

Played this today, turning into a dragon was key. Without it, the fight would have been shorter and not as interesting. The total hit point was 300 for the shogun/dragon, once the dragon was killed the shogun reset to 150 hps effectively making for a 3 phase fight. Worked well. Thanks for the ideas ENWORLD! The dragon-spirit […]

FUSHIGIRI – The Mortal Blade

FUSHIGIRI (不死斬り) Weapon (odachi), artifact (tsukumogami, requires attunement) Omen: When the sword is first drawn by a creature it kills that creature outright. This only happens once and if the creature somehow returns from the dead, they automatically attune the sword and can then wield it normally Deathblow Omen. When used to slay an immortal creature […]

CHIEF RENDWATTLE GUTWAD

I am currently running an Oriental Adventures (OA) campaign called The Divine Heir and the Jade Regent loosely based around the Pathfinder Adventure Path the Jade Regent with strong influences from Sekiro. The first adventure is called The Ashina Legacy and is essentially the The Brinewall Legacy set in and completely converted to an OA […]

KILLING THE BIG ROOSTER

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 […]
