Alternate World Stuff by KingCrazyGenius

[Kain Darkwind]

I think the sahuagin's superior racial hit dice, along with its overall better ability scores and natural weapons, makes it enough of a greater challenge compared to a gnoll to merit a higher CR. And if one can get you into the water you have an even tougher fight on your hands.

Of course if you are using double 1st level hit points, they are probably only a tough CR 1 unless Pathfinder decides to give monsters the same benefit.

I don't have it handy because I'm at work, but if you have the PF Beta, there is a chart which lists expected values for all CRs up to 20.

[Asha'man]

Is it an error that the Aboleth Mage is an 8th level wizard but casts 5th level spells? Or am I ignorant of something important, here? (Something from Pathfinder, for example?)

[KingCrazyGenius]

Well, he's now a 10th level wizard.

Powerful Charge (Ex): A rhinoceros deals 4d6+24 points of damage when it makes a charge.

[Kain Darkwind]

Just a Pathfinder update or did you change stuff?

[KingCrazyGenius]

Swapped a few feats. The old rhino has the Improved Natural Attack feat which bumped his damage up; I got rid of that and just kept the damage as is, giving him Weapon Focus instead. I also replaced Alertness with Diehard and Iron Will, and gave him the scent ability (although I'm not sure if that ability still exists in Pathfinder, given that the Perception skill covers all five traditional senses).

Did the rhino specifically because it makes it easier to make dire rhinos, legendary rhinos, and half-fiend rhinos; all of which Alternate World is in desperate need of.

*Sniff* You make this old designer proud.

[WarDragon]

Is the dire rhino a carnivore? Dire hippos are carnivores.

[KingCrazyGenius]

Is the dire rhino a carnivore? Dire hippos are carnivores.

Really, the only word that can cover the feeding habits of dire animals is omnivore. They eat what they find; trees, bricks, gorillas, dwarven wizards with disapproving mothers.

Kaio's natural weapons are treated as epic, adamantine, and lawful for the purposes of overcoming damage reduction, regeneration, and hardness.

Combat

Augmented Critical (Ex): Kaio’s unarmed strike threatens a critical hit on a natural attack roll of 18-20, dealing triple damage on a successful critical hit.

Ki Pool (Su) 24 points. Kaio regains spent ki points at a rate of 1 per minute. By spending 1 point from his ki pool, Kaio can make one additional attack at his highest attack bonus when making a flurry of blows attack. In addition, he can spend 1 point to increase his speed by 20 feet for 1 round. Finally, Kaio can spend 1 point from his ki pool to give himself a +4 dodge bonus to AC for 1 round. Each of these powers is activated as a swift action. As a standard action, Kaio can spend 2 points to regain 32 hit points. As a move action, Kaio can spend 2 points to gain the effect of the spell greater teleport, or spend 3 points to gain the effect of the spell plane shift.

As a standard action, Kaio can spend points from his ki pool to make a ki blast. The ki blast deals 1d10 divine damage in a 20 foot radius per ki point spent, to a maximum of 24d10 damage if he spends all 24 points. A successful Reflex save (DC 34) halves the damage, although evasion and improved evasion do not function against this ability. Alternatively, Kaio can focus the attack onto a single target; a successful ranged touch attack deals 2d12 divine damage per ki point spent, to a maximum of 48d12 for all 24 points, and the target is not entitled to a Reflex save.

Quivering Palm (Su): Kaio can set up vibrations within the body of another creature that can thereafter be fatal if he so desires. He can use this quivering palm attack once a minute. Creatures immune to critical hits cannot be affected. Otherwise, if Kaio strikes successfully and the target takes damage from the blow, the quivering palm attack succeeds. Thereafter, Kaio can try to slay the victim at any later time, as long as the attempt is made within 28 days. To make such an attempt, Kaio merely wills the target to die (a free action), and unless the target makes a Fortitude saving throw (DC 36), it dies. If the saving throw is successful, the target takes 1d6 Constitution damage, but is otherwise no longer in danger from that particular quivering palm attack, but it may still be affected by another one at a later time. Kaio can have up to 7 quivering palms in effect at any given time, but no more than one against a single target.

Superior Two Weapon Fighting: Kaio can attack with two weapons, or make two unarmed strikes, at any time he could attack with one. He takes no penalties to his attacks.

Spell-Like Abilities: Always active— detect chaos, high mage armor, shield of law (DC 26); at will— calm emotions (DC 20), dictum (DC 25), dispel chaos (DC 23), hold monster (DC 24), magic circle against chaos (DC 21), order's wrath (DC 21). Caster level 32nd

Rexus is proficient with the club, dagger, heavy crossbow, light crossbow, longsword, and quarterstaff

Combat

Arcane Bond (Su): Rexus' bonded object is a ring.

Master Evoker: Rexus is an Evoker, and his prohibited schools are Enchantment and Illusion.
Specialist Bonus: When Rexus casts an evocation spell that deals damage, it deals +5 damage.
Energy Ray (Su): Energy Ray (Su): As a standard action, Rexus can unleash an energy ray targeting any foe within 30 feet as a ranged touch attack. The energy ray deals 1d6 + 10 points of damage. The type of damage is acid, cold, electricity, or fire, chosen when the ray is unleashed.
Elemental Wall (Su): Rexus can create a wall of energy that lasts for 30 rounds per day equal. These rounds do not need to be consecutive. This wall deals acid, cold, electricity, or fire damage, determined when you create it. The elemental wall otherwise functions like wall of fire.
Elemental Power (Su): Creatures affected by Rexus' spells only receive 1/2 their energy resistance. Creatures with energy immunity are instead treated as if they have resistance 20 against that energy.
Minor Esoterica (Ex): Rexus gains a +5 bonus on Spellcraft checks when casting evocation spells.
Moderate Esoterica (Ex): When Rexus casts an evocation spell, he gains resist 20 to the damage type of the spell for a number of rounds equal to the spell level.

Rexus can cast the following spells once per day, in addition to his normal spell slots: 1st burning hands 2nd scorching ray 3rd lightning bolt 5th cone of cold 6th chain lightning 7th delayed fireball blast 8th polar ray 9th crushing hand

Spells:

Rexus has the following spells made permanent on himself: arcane sight, darkvision, see invisibility

Possessions: Over his strangely ordinary clothes, Lord Rexus wears a black cloak that grants him a +8 armor bonus to Armor Class, a +6 resistance bonus to saving throws, and Spell Resistance 35. When Rexus wills so, the cloak takes on the appearance of a prismatic wall, and anyone looking at it (save the wearer) is blinded for 2d4 rounds (Fortitude save DC 30 negates). While active in this manner, the cloak sheds light like a Colossal bonfire. Once per day, Rexus can use the cloak to create a prismatic sphere as cast by a 20th level caster.

Elemental Ridiculous is a +6 brilliant energy longsword of elemental blasting. Rexus can change the damage type to acid, cold, electricity, fire, or sonic once per round as a free action. If destroyed, it explodes, dealing 100d6 acid, cold, electricity, fire, and sonic damage to everything within 100 ft.

Rexus also wears bracers of arcane might, which grant a +4 enhancement bonus to the attack and damage rolls of melee and ranged touch attacks, as well as a +4 enhancement bonus to the Save DCs of his spells.

Love the sword's name.

And I know it's old, but I just now took a second look at it; shouldn't a Malenti speak Elvish, since spying on elves is their entire purpose for existing?

[Kain Darkwind]

Love the sword's name.

And I know it's old, but I just now took a second look at it; shouldn't a Malenti speak Elvish, since spying on elves is their entire purpose for existing?

Or even Elven, since that is an actual made up language rather than a fake made up language?

[KingCrazyGenius]

Well, thanks to their high Int scores, they can learn other languages. I would venture to say that most, if not all, malenti would learn Elven. And the fake language of Elvish too, if they so desired.

[Dialexis]

the scent ability (although I'm not sure if that ability still exists in Pathfinder, given that the Perception skill covers all five traditional senses).

Yes, PF still has the scent ability. They even mention how it mechanically interacts with Perception and Survival checks.

Yonthan is proficient with all simple and martial weapons, all armor, and all shields (except tower shields)

Combat

Divine Bond (Su): 4 times per day, Yonthan can add up to +6 worth of bonuses to his weapon for up to one minute. While active, the weapon sheds light as a torch. He can add enhancement bonuses, or add any of the following weapon properties: axiomatic, brilliant energy, defending, disruption, flaming, flaming burst, holy, keen, merciful, and speed.

Holy Champion (Su): Whenever Yonthan uses smite evil against an evil outsider, the outsider is also subject to a banishment at caster level 20th, (his weapon and holy symbol automatically count as objects that the subject hates). In addition, whenever Yonthan channels positive energy, he channels the maximum possible amount.

Lay on Hands (Su): Yonthan can heal wounds (her own or those of others) by touch. Each day he can use this ability 18 times. With one use of this ability, Yonthan can heal one living target 20 hit points or deal 20 hit points of damage to an undead creature. With two uses of this ability, Yonthan can remove disease or neutralize poison, as the spell. With three uses of this ability, Yonthan can break enchantment, as the spell. With four uses of this ability, Yonthan can heal, as the spell. The caster level of these abilities, when applicable, is 20th, and the Save DC is Charisma based.

Possessions: Fiend's Terror is a +7 heavy mace of evil outsider dread that ignores the damage reduction of evil creatures. When used to smite evil, the wielder adds double their Charisma modifier to the attack roll. His shield is a mithral +6 bashing shield of fire resistance that grants a +5 bonus to his saving throws and spell resistance against evil effects. His armor is mithral +8 full plate that grants him DR 10/silver, has no armor check penalty, and a maximum dex bonus of +6. His wing armor adds a +6 deflection bonus to AC, +6 resistance bonus to saving throws, and increases his flight maneuverability to perfect. His ring of corporeal purity provides resist 20 against unholy damage, immunity to poison, and allows Yonthan to heal vile damage as though it were normal damage.

[WarDragon]

I like it. Half-celestial, gestalt paladin//crusader, it looks like. He from any particular source, or an original creation?

[KingCrazyGenius]

Half-celestial aasimar gestalt paladin/crusader/knight! He has 25 HD, but only 20 levels worth of class abilities in those three classes. In normal D&D, he'd be multiclassed in all three classes, though in 4e he'd probably just be a deva paladin. And he's original, yeah.

[Kain Darkwind]

Showing how superior the unarmed fighter is to the monk when it comes to damage?

[KingCrazyGenius]

No, that was entirely incidental. Really he's just a fighter who was once part of a monk monastary, but he was expelled pretty quickly because he was disobedient and only liked fighting. Ten years later he returned and kicked every monk's ass in that entire place. Now he travels the world, kicking the asses of monks. And other people who fight unarmed.

But yeah, it is superior. By 20th level, monks have 2d10+str damage, while fighters with SUS get 2d6+str+4. 2d6+4 gives the same averages as rolling 2d14.

[MythMage]

By 20th level, monks have 2d10+str damage, while fighters with SUS get 2d6+str+4. 2d6+4 gives the same averages as rolling 2d14.

Actually, 2d6+4 has an average of 2*3.5 + 4 = 11, while 2d10 has an average of 2*5.5 = 11. They are equivalent. (2d14 has an average of 2*7.5 = 15.)

[bluegodjanus]

But yeah, it is superior. By 20th level, monks have 2d10+str damage, while fighters with SUS get 2d6+str+4. 2d6+4 gives the same averages as rolling 2d14.

Mythmage's point aside, monks get wacky powers to make up for it. Fighters just hit things.

Mythmage's point aside, monks get wacky powers to make up for it. Fighters just hit things.

And yet, Fighters are considered halfway worthwhile for melee, while Monks suck out loud.
