Welcome to Gaia! ::

The next submission competition is drawing nigh; have YOU decided which submission your going to enter? Be sure to post your final submission before April 1st, so that the bugs can be beaten out of it before voting begins on the 7th. Who knows, this time the winner could be you!

Monster submission rules:

-No single monster may have more than 24 CP, and no more than 1000 chips worth of Equipment. Just to clear up any possible confusion, there is no special additional cost associated with any item, action or spell regarding it's purchase location. If a cost has been listed for a particular item, action or spell, that is the cost for the purpose of this competition. If no cost is listed, let me know what you want and I will price it accordingly.

-Must use existing Abilities, Items, Spells or Actions within the Guild. Nothing that has not already been approved by the Major DM's.

-If submitting a complete series of a Monster Type, no more than 5 monsters in a series.

-One submission per Adventurer. And please, control your mules, okay?


Winning Prize: the winner of this submission contest will gain the opportunity to engage in single combat with their submission. If they can defeat their creation, they will receive a charge token (die 1/1) of their creation. The battle WILL be scaled appropriately to be a challenge to the competitor, so this is NOT a guaranteed win for anyone, regardless of how powerful they may be.

Standing around two meters high, and made up of a gelatinous grey material with a rough outer membrane, the Globster Matriarch is the second highest 'ranking' in the Globster Hivemind world. These behemoths crawl so slowly, that they seem 'almost' defenseless. However, the Matriarch is extremely tough, able to stand against both heavy physical attacks, and extreme magical forces for long periods of time. Its main purpose however, is to create globster 'Spawn'. And even in a threatening situation, it will still spew out globster eggs every so often.

The 'controller' of a group of globsters. Whether it be a scavanging group, a war party, or a scouting force, there is always atleast one of these controlling the lower classes; making sure they do the job right. Unlike the other globsters, these have no armored parts and know some form of psonic communication. The outer membrane is a brilliant silver dome. Underneath are ten spindly legs. Slow and steady, these 'brain bugs' have really no need for the armor or spikes, as they have the strange abillity to reflect almost every attack.

With treatment in special oils, the outer membrane can be used to create light armor, and be used as a spell creation reagent.

((Inspiration comes from the Fedaration Droid Control Ships mrgreen ))

Healing Aura affects your party-member's regen right? Or did you change it to affect only the character's.

Globster Bezerker [24]
Attack- 6

Combat Dice- 1 (1d3)
Magic- 0

Abillities- fast actor [4], regeneration [3], Fury [4]
Actions- smash, pounch, retaliate, stunning blow, power-up
Spells- N/a

Better, faster, stronger, and heck of a lot harder to kill, the Globster Bezerkers are the second generation of the battle-class. These 'bezerkers' as they are called, are slightly autonomos, although they still listen to the Overseers and the even more independant 'Valkyries' for orders. Sleeker than the average soldier, they shed regenerative and defensive properties for a lighter frame. This extra speed allows the Bezerker to deal quick hit-and-runs, as well as become the war party's scouts. Most globster 'raiding partes', as they are described, consists of six soldiers, two bezerkers, one overseer, and a valkyrie.

They have been known to canabalise the weaker globster soldiers and workers in times of need... Or when one annoys a bezerker. They will never stand up against overseers, valkyries, or anything else higher up. They use an extra sent of legs at the front which have evolved into razer sharp claws to attack.

All globsters have main bodies that are horizontal oval shaped slabs of grey goo. They have armored pincers at the front, spiny shell covered legs ((The more, the higher breed; workers=4-6, soldiers=8, matriarch and above= too many to count)), and also a tail used to swiming. This tail resembles a giant green lobster tail; which is where these things got its name.

At death, the armored parts of the shell fall off, while the body will float to the surface of the water ((They're ambphibious)) and wash ashore.

The traid are fairly standard, a King, with a royal breat-pale, but a crown, and ceremonial regailia. The queen wears white robes, simple and elegent, with a sort of tiara on her head. The Jack wears full plate armor, and just a shield. He will protect the Queen before the King, as the King has decreed it so. They fight in tandem, working together. (More of a boss, I'd guess, or mini-boss maybe.)

Obviously, the Queen is the toughest figure, she normally alternates between stunning, and useing an EB/Heal combo. The Jack will do what he can to take damage for the Queen, knowing she will heal him; he will power up his defensive capibilities before his attack. The King alternates between Frosting and Retaliateing, when he's not powering up.

If possible, they share AP and MP, the party gaining a defult 3ap/mp a round... Basically it gives the Queen more spells, and the Jack and King more chances for action.

Mini-Independant Armor

After the first set of big armor was destroyed in Santa's place, the people who first made that armor now mass produced more armor that walked by itself, but walked by itself in seperate pieces with their own personalities. Some are funny, some are agressive, some are nice, and some are just plan strange.

Very interesting... cool

Imagine if you will, 6 adventures (24CPx6=144CP) vs 6 Grubs (12cpx6=72cp), a more than even fight.

Wizard jumps in for a 21 pt fireball blasting 4 of them to nothing.

Thats 72 damage from selfdestruct, causing 9 special damage to everything (6 adventurers and 2 remaining grubs) casing the 2 remaing to pop, for another 6 special damage (36/6) to everyone, for a total of 15 special damage each player. Then each gets attacked by a grub that turn too for 8 special (SA), 6 attack dmg, and another 6 special from smash.

Thats 35 impending damage total on all the characters.... Ouchums!

But what else do you do? Kill one a turn? Then you have to deal with there powerful attacks every turn, not to mention when you kill one, it dies 18 damage from its self destruct, which is atleast going to do 2 damage to everything. So by round 3, if your poping one a turn, everything after that is going to go, causing mass damage once again, and that on top of all there attacks for 3 turns!

(Rofl, I'm such an evil DM...)

Holy mackeral batman!

Thats quite evil...

I thought of something like that once.

Whether they are pixies, wisps or swamp gas these lights tend to lead adventurers to their doom. The real power behind these creatures lie in their numbers. Highly sensitive to the groups needs these lights will adjust to heal injured lights while slowly freezeing the offending force.
(Just a relatively lower level monster that in party equivalent numbers would be a nightmare, but not as bad as AMP's)
