Prodigy Duck 3e Builds (Pandemonium, Master Man)

[Geekery]

Kickin' builds and major props for the George Michael in his prime reference! He was always one of my guilty pleasures and I am now man enough to admit it. Father Figure got me all kinds of play in college.

Well, with one girl anyway, but that doubled my senior year of high school dating!

Quoted for truth.

Although, PD, I have to admit that when I saw "Monkey," I assumed it was the character from Dexter's Laboratory. I seem to recall a cameo from the late Randy Savage in one episode, in fact.

Apropos of nothing, I ran a "Marvel Goes Ape" session recently, splitting the party up to take on various simian characters. Jean Gray and Storm fought Mandrill, Nightcrawler fought Hit-Monkey, Dr. Strange and Thor faced Red Ghost and the Super-Apes. A fun time was had by all.

Nagas are strange, magical creatures with the bodies of serpents and the heads of humanoids. These enigmatic beasts prefer to live a life of isolation from the civilized world. They will often make their lairs within ancient ruins and crypts, where they can learn lost magic and lore. Many see nagas as the protectors of such places and the secrets held within. The nagas themselves do not dissuade these rumors.

There exist many different types of naga. Each has its own personality and magical power.

An average guardian naga is 14 feet in length and weighs about 350 pounds. When angered or excited, a guardian naga flares a hood similar to a cobra. The bite of a guardian naga contains deadly venom. They can spit this venom at their enemies without losing any of its potency.

Spirit nagas have serpentine bodies with black scales and red markings. Their humanoid faces are framed with stringy hair. The bite of a spirit naga is deadly, as it contains venom. The eyes of the creature are no better, as their gaze can cause to who look to fall under the control of the naga. The average spirit naga is 14 feet long and weighs about 300 pounds.

POINTS
Abilities 18 + Advantages 4 + Defenses 17 + Powers 62 + Skills 15 = 116 Total

COMPLICATIONS
Disability: A nightmare has no hands.
Wicked and Evil: Nightmares are thoroughly evil. They live only to cause suffering in the universe.

Nightmares are evil creatures that appear to be black horses with fiery eyes and hooves. They are a type of fiend that exists in the dimensions beyond the natural world. There, they serve as steeds to powerful evil beings such as hags and demon princes. One should be careful to think a nightmare to be a stupid beast; they are as intelligent as a human, but also wicked and depraved.

Nightmares are often conjured into the world to serve as steeds for evil priests and wizards. Sometimes they are sent to a mortal as a “reward” for service to a powerful fiendish lord.

[Arthur Eld]

Nightmares are always cool. They'd make good sidekick/minions for high level Warriors and Warlocks-type baddies.

One question and maybe this is just me, but why not make the Speed power an Alternate Effect of Flight?

[Jabroniville]

Yeah, Nightmares are awesome. I've said it a million times, but I LOVE the idea of "Non-Horse Mounts", from heroes riding Pegasi (Fire Emblem features a lot of those), to Hippogriffs, to Griffins, to various weird Warhammer beasts, and especially these hell-borne monsters.

The Flight/Speed thing is probably just personal preference on ProdigyDuck's part, since technically they're both different physical attributes. Plus, since it's just a few points, it's not a big cost-difference. I did the same thing with my Nightmare build.

[Woodclaw]

I think I'm one of the few persons in this world who think that the nightmare sucks badly. Stat-wise and lookwise is incredibly cool, but have you ever looked at the price tag?

Aside from placing a major "I'm evil, shot me" neon sign over the head of the rider, in AD&D they required 200gp in pieces of platinum every 3 days or so to serve any creature other than a demon as a mount. At this rate I honestly prefer a lowly pegasus or griphon.

A price tag easily avoided if you can afford to cover the creature as a cohort with the Leadership feat.

I admit I never considered this option.

COMPLICATIONS
Prankster: Nixies are whimsical, fey creatures who enjoy playing pranks on others. Sometimes, these pranks turn dangerous.

Nixies are small aquatic faeries that delight in swimming and playing in rivers, and lakes. They are sometimes seen as wicked creatures, as the pranks they play on mortals occasionally lead to drowning. Nixies make their homes in beautiful lakes and streams. They act as guardians of such places, and attempt to drive away any who would despoil the natural beauty of their home.

A nixie appears to be a beautiful aquatic humanoid with sylvan features, webbed fingers and toes, with long hair the color of seaweed. They often wear little to no clothing, preferring to dress themselves only in pearls and shells.

Background arriving soon...

Ingrid is a character being played in my current Marvel setting.

[Thorpacolypse]

Gotta borrow that Water Naga for an upcoming Dresdenverse game. I think my players are going to run into a Dresdenverse Nixie and that seems like the type of thing she could command to give her some good muscle.

Nice Marvel Nazi build, too. You can never have enough of those. I've got Master Man and Warrior Woman on my short list builds, myself.

If you feel the need to beef up your nixies a bit, the nix of legend also had the ability to change shape into fish (Morph) and captivate people with song. Use the same ability found with Harpies.

COMPLICATIONS
Obsession: Protecting nature’s beauty.
Power Loss: Impervious Toughness; not vs. cold iron weapon.
Reputation: Beautiful fey guardians of nature.

Druidic Power Most nymphs have the ability to cast spells like a druid or nature shaman. This can be represented by adding an Array with Area Snare (Entangle), Heal, and Summon (Animal) Powers. Other Powers can include lightning bolts, weather control effects, or a Damage effect when using a shillelagh (a wooden staff or cudgel).

Nymphs are fey spirits of nature. They act as guardians to sacred groves, natural beauty, and portals to the faerie realm. As guardians of nature, nymphs often have a variety of magical powers that allow them to control and manipulate natural plants and animals.

Nymphs are always female, possessing incredible beauty that is dangerous to behold. As such, they are the frequent target of satyrs and lecherous human males.

A nymph is willing to share her charms with those who show her and her realm respect and care. Otherwise, many find the lovely nymph to be a capable and dangerous adversary.

Fortitude 12, Will 10

POINTS
Abilities 108 + Advantages 20 + Defenses 16 + Powers 155 + Skills 14 = 313 Total

COMPLICATIONS
Infamy: Ares is the god of war from the Greek pantheon. In Roman times, he was known as Mars.
Obsession: Ares delights in battle and slaughter. He feels stronger when humanity is at war, and will thus attempt to cause conflict and strife.
Relationship: Ares is the son of Zeus and Hera. Ares is often seen in the company of Aphrodite. Eris and Enyo are Ares’ sisters. Ares has sired many children with both goddesses and mortals.
Weakness: If everyone is peaceful and calm around Ares, including not thinking violent thoughts, all of his Traits are Disabled. If people are thinking violent thoughts, but not engaging in actual violence, his traits are only Impaired.

I know it seems rather free-form to give a God the Variable power rather than detail all he is capable of doing, but I wanted it to be simple. After all, the Greek gods could do a lot of different things. They could transform people and creatures into other things, turn themselves into animals or "showers of gold," and otherwise be all-seeing.

Typically, a God is going to have his Variable power with a default setting of Senses (Detect God's Name When Spoken; Dimensional, Extended [lots], etc...). This settup allows the God to see or hear his followers, know when his name is called upon, or hear when someone is speaking of the God in spite... to later wreck vengeance upon the foolish mortal. The God can then transfer points in the Variable pool to Teleport or Summon to visit the mortal if so desired.
