Prodigy Duck 3e Builds (Red Ghost, Red Guardian, Red Skull)

[Jabroniville]

Cool Sahuagin! I always kinda underestimated the aquatic life in D&D, but I've grown to like some of them. The fact that Sahuagin use sharks as minions makes them much better . Can they speak with Sharks now? My 3rd Edition book says that it's Telepathic communication (it's pre-3.0 not 3.5 though).

And Rust Monsters are, as always, the most-feared monster in D&D history.

[Woodclaw]

I think you have to make your planet about Jupiter size to support all the huge monsters and variety of life in the D&D verse.

The world of Forgotten Realms is three or four times the size of Earth, if you have seen the map.

Based on my personal estimation the continent of Faerun is approximatly 3-4 times the size of the USA and it's the smallest continent in the world of Forgotten Realms.

Eagerly awaited on the S section is what you are going to do with Spiders. After the good work on the Retriever and th Phase Spider, Lolth is getting very excited about what you are going to do build wise for her loyal minions.

SALAMANDER

Salamanders are serpentine creatures from the Plane of Fire. They are wicked and cruel, but also well known for their expert craftsmanship for weapons and armor. As such, they are often sought out by devils, efreet, and other evil beings to commission powerful weapons for their armies.

Salamanders love to dwell within fiery places, such as flaming pits or lava pools. They tolerate cooler places, but cannot abide the cold. The heat from a salamander’s body often transfers to any metallic weapons it carries.

Based on a recent build by Pamela Isley, I felt compelled to build a few Champions characters.

[PamelaIsley]

Yay for my boundless influence.

I like that you made Destroyer usable.

[Woodclaw]

COngratulations for reaching 500 builds in 3E.

[prodigyduck]

[catsi563]

just out of curiosity why so low a PL for Doc Destroyer? I see him as pl 15+17 easy able to handle 1 or even 2 super teams at once no problem.

gratz on 500 btw =^_^=

I know some folks love to make their master villains into high PL monsters, but the fact is I don't see the point. In my own games, the average hero tends to be in the PL 8-9 range, while someone on the Justice League being in the PL 10 range. My most powerful heroes (like Superman, Hal Jordan's Green Lantern, and Wonder Woman) are PL 12.

Destroyer is incredibly powerful with this build! His strength can lift 1.6 ktons. His main ranged attack does more damage than a tank cannon. He would be a good fight for the Champions. I have yet to build any of them in M&M, but I am sure that would not be as high a PL as many think.

[prodigyduck]

Perhaps I should clarify..

Destroyer may not have been my actual 500th build, persay, but the 500th post to this thread.


Although, given how many Marvel characters I have built and not posted... hmm...

COMPLICATIONS
Disability: A scorpion is mute. Its pincers offer limited manipulation.

Scorpions are a breed of arachnids known for their poisonous stingers. They are found in a variety of climates, but are most numerous in deserts.

Scorpions are active hunters. They track their prey with their keen senses and then grasp it with their scissor-like pincers. Once in the scorpion’s grasp, the prey is stung repeatedly until it stops moving. It is then consumed by the arachnid, whether or not it is still living.

Scorpions live in underground burrows. As such, giant scorpions are often encountered in underground ruins or crypts.

Giant scorpions are the size of horses. They are perfectly content with attacking whatever prey is smaller than themselves, including humans.

[MisterO]

Good looking satyrs that can actually get women. That's different!

Is having the demi-human/monstrous humanoids being more appealing something common in Pathfinder or am I not paying enough attention?

[Thorpacolypse]

Yay, giant scorpions! One of favorite all time monsters, thanks to Clash of The Titans (the original good-bad one, not the bad-allegedly good sequel).
