This post was originally intended for last night, but I got delayed. I've been inspired by playing a good bit of Hulk: Ultimate Destruction, and wanted a PC who could do all the things he does in the game. Plus, he's seasonal, Samhain being the old Celtic name for Halloween. He used to go abroad on All Hallow's Eve, stealing children...

Description:
Monster, red eyed savage,
his long black braids swing 'round
his scaled and fang filled face
His long nails drag the ground
Muscles bunch in mighty
Thews, stronger than steel.
His hide, as black as night,
And wounds he does not feel.
Samhainach is a mighty monster, a goblin lord of the Host, once feared by all in Faerie, Seelie and Unseelie alike. But he fell in love with a mortal lass, the winsome witch called Beltane, and forsook forever the Darkling Throng. He knows she will not have him, but he does what good he may to please her, knowing that he can never atone for millenia of cruelty and bloodshed.
In elder years, he stalked Scotland, mighty among the Hunt, stealing children for his dark mistress,that they might be raised in Faerie, where no young are born. Now, he wards the little ones by night, and in secret, remorseful but ruthless, striking hard where evil rises.
And now and again, he hears a rumour of his love, and smiles in the shadows...and wonders at woken memory...was he ever human? Or was he born before the Unseelie loins began to fail? Long and long ago it was, and mayhap none now remember.
Created With Mutagen! version 0.8.7a - beta
He’s a big brute, black scaled and monstrous, standing between eight and nine feet, weighing more than 600 lbs. His long black hair hangs in braids around his face, from which peer glaring red eyes under a thick brow ridge. His nose is broad and flat, and his mouth full of fangs in a slightly protruding muzzle.
The most common use for his Hero points, by the way, is recovery and re-rolling damage saves: he has the Devil’s own luck, ye see.
His weakness to sunlight is by the book: every twenty minutes he’s in sunlight, he takes a –1 to checks, representing his discomfort. The sound of church bells, on the other hand, both weakens him and drives him mad. Technically, it starts the moment he hears the bells…which means the drawback should be worth four more. But basically, every round the bells ring he suffers a – 1 cumulative drain to all ability scores except Con.
A weapon forged of pure, cold forged iron is the only weapon that can lay him to rest permanently, and it is far more likely to wound him grievously, but as a goblin lord and a troll, the simple presence of iron does not harm him as it would a more delicate fae.
Last but not least, like many fae nobles, he is completely unable to lie. This is not a matter of honor, or a choice…he simply cannot speak any untruth.
edit:tweaked to bring up to PL. Attack focus offsets size penalty.
