Death From Below (Ex): A bulette is feared for its ability to attack from underground, killing unsuspecting prey before they can react. When a bulette is burrowing, it may move into any spaces occupied by creatures above it who are not burrowing. When it does this, it may elect to come forth from the ground as a standard action, and any creatures within the same space as the bulette during this time take 1d6 points of damage per Challenge Rating of the bulette (7d6 by default), are knocked prone, and moved to the closest unoccupied space available to them. Creatures larger than the bulette cannot be knocked prone but still take damage and are displaced by the ability.

Once a creature is the target of the bulette’s attack, it can choose to either take a Reflex save or attempt to counter the bulette’s attack. A successful Reflex save (DC 20) halves the damage dealt and prevents the creature from being knocked prone, instead only moving them away.

Should the creature elect to counterattack, they may attack the bulette as an immediate action and calculate damage accordingly. Should the total damage dealt to the bulette when it attempts this attack equal or exceed at least 5 points of damage per CR it possesses (35 by default), the bulette is repelled and forced back underground. Any surplus damage dealt beyond this threshold is dealt to the bulette's hit points.

Earthbolt (Ex): As a standard action useable at will, a bulette strikes the ground and causes a reverberation in the ground, dealing 1d6 points of damage per 2 CR of the bulette (3d6 by default) to all creatures in a line 60 feet long and 5 feet wide. Burrowing creatures take double damage from this ability and are forced to surface. A successful Reflex save (DC 20) halves the damage dealt.

Frontal Armor (Ex): The last creature attacked by the bulette (including attacks of opportunity) also receives a penalty to attack rolls made against the bulette equal to the bulette's Challenge Rating (-7 by default). As an immediate action, the bulette may increase its armor bonus to AC by an amount equal to X, where X is equal to the CR of the bulette (+7 by default) until the beginning of its next turn. This AC bonus is decreased by 1 for each additional creature that threatens the bulette in melee. Using this immediate action removes the penalty to attack rolls imposed on a particular character so long as the bulette maintains the extra Armor Class bonus.

Leap (Ex): As a standard action, a bulette can jump a massive distance equal to one half its base speed. When it does so, it makes a Jump check and deals damage to creatures in the space in which it lands equal to the result of the check. A DC 20 Reflex save or an immediate action allows the creature to move to the nearest available space out of the area of effect.

The bulette may also make a Jump check when making a charge attack. When it does so, it may use the Jump check in substitution of a Strength check to destroy objects that it strikes. Unattended objects with a hardness less than 10 are automatically destroyed by the bulette’s charge regardless of the check’s result.

Humanoid soldiers fashioned out of some cheap building material—clay, wood, etc.—and animated through magic, toy soldiers are a cleverly conceived way to mass produce expendable troops. So long as one possesses the artisanship and magical resources to make them, they make eternally serving and loyal fighters. As their name suggests, more eccentric and powerful magicians use these creatures as literal pawns in epic, life-sized chess games. The violent fun than the original version while maintaining the low mortality rate.

In a more practical sense, toy soldiers are cheap, fearless, and self-maintaining. They never loot, never desert, don't need to be supplied, and do not tire. For a wizard with sufficient power, time, and resources to mass-produce them, there could be great profit in selling their mercenary services to the highest bidder.

Combat

Like their sentient counterparts, a toy soldier’s duty depends on how it is fitted; a platoon of toy soldiers typically includes at least one of each of the units described below. Although they are technically not sentient, toy soldiers are imprinted with tactical formations that they exercise with great efficiency. Multiple imprinted tactics allow toy soldiers to adapt to different challenges.

Brittle (Ex): A toy soldier is cheap in construction and quality of material, possessing only half the hit points a construct of its size would normally possess. This is already factored into the toy soldier’s stat block.

E Pluribus Unum (Ex): As long as another toy soldier is within 10 feet of it, a toy soldier gains a +2 morale bonus to attack and damage rolls.

By consuming a full-round action and a swift action, a soldier can assume another of the six roles presented here, gaining those abilities in place of those it originally possessed.

Drummer

The drummer is an obvious stand-in for a bard, directing other soldiers with a snare drum. It is not intended to participate in direct combat and is thus unarmed, as it has a much more vital role in directing its counterparts.

Group Command: The drummer's playing signals to other soldiers what they must do in battle. By using a full-round action, it grants particular bonuses or actions specific to the tune it is playing for the duration of the current round to relevant toy soldiers within 100 feet, as follows:

  • Attack: When the drummer uses the Attack command, all combat-able soldiers gain the option to take an immediate action to charge up to one half of their base speed. When they do this, they gain an additional 1d6 damage on their successful charge attacks.
  • Defend: When the drummer uses the Defend command, soldiers may make an attack as an immediate action as though it were a readied action. When they do so, the bonuses to damage rolls normally accorded to the soldier by E Pluribus Unum can be changed to a numerically identical bonus to Armor Class for the current round.
  • Retreat: When the drummer uses the Retreat command, all other toy soldiers may use the Withdraw action as an immediate action, gaining a +4 bonus to Armor Class against any attacks of opportunity provoked when they do so. Electing to take this immediate action also consumes the soldier's next turn.

Grenadier

A grenadier throws flasks of alchemist’s fire (among other things), preferring to stay behind its allies and provide area effect damage, buffs, and debuffs.

Carpet Bomb: The grenadier may designate a 20x20 foot area within Medium Range (100 feet + 10 feet/level, 110 feet by default) and-as a full-round action-cover it with searing flames for 1 round. Creatures caught within take 1 point of fire damage from being inside the area of effect and are set alight, taking an additional 1 point of fire damage each round until a standard action is taken to extinguish the flames.

Proximity Fuse: As a full-round action, a grenadier may throw a single grenade into a square within 30 feet, which occupies a 5-foot space that all combatants can see and should be made aware of. This explosive can detonate instantly or have the blast delayed by up to three rounds; when delayed, the grenadier must decide whether the grenade will explode at the beginning of its turn. Finally, it can also be detonated by a creature stepping on the grenade. When it does detonate, the grenade deals 1d6 points of fire damage—plus an additional 2 points of fire damage if it was delayed by at least 1 round—to all creatures within 10 feet of the square the explosive was placed in.

Hoplite

A hoplite is capable of wielding its spear in one hand while using a large metal round shield on its other arm. When a hoplite makes a shield bash attack, it does not lose its shield bonus to Armor Class.

At The Ready: As a move action, the hoplite may grant itself 5 temporary hit points. These temporary hp do not stack, instead refreshing to the maximum with each additional use of the ability.

Defender: As an immediate action, a hoplite may deflect a single melee or ranged attack intended for it or an adjacent ally

Shield Charge: When a hoplite declares a charge attack, it may attack with both its spear and shield at the same time during the charge, using a separate attack roll for each weapon. An opponent struck by both attacks must make a Fortitude save (DC 10) or be stunned on their next turn.

Medic

A medic is incapable of combat and has no attacks. It is completely unarmed, but can be a very frustrating opponent due to its ability to heal other soldiers.

Flag of Parley (Su): A medic is affect by a constant sanctuary effect (DC 11); instead of affecting an area, however, this ability only works on the medic itself and creatures that elect to attack it.

Triage (Su): As standard action usable at will, the medic can make repair a single allied soldier within 30 feet, restoring a number of hit points equal to 1d8 plus its CR (1 by default) in the same fashion as cure light wounds. If they use this ability as a melee touch, the healing from the ability is maximized.

Myrmidon

A myrmidon specializes in charging into the enemy line and dispersing them, dealing heavy damage with greatswords and generally hitting very hard.

Breakthrough: When it declares a charge attack, the myrmidon may move through the space occupied by the creature it attacked on its charge without provoking attacks of opportunity regardless of whether or not the charge attack successfully hit.

Havoc: As a full-round action, a myrmidon can make a single melee attack roll that targets all enemies within its melee reach.

Sentry

Sentries wield heavy crossbows with deadly accuracy. As their name suggests, they serve as spotters for squadrons of toy soldiers as well as supporting roles in attack and defense.

Floodlights: A sentry projects a cone of light out to 30 feet in front of them. The direction of this cone can be changed as a swift action, and the cone itself can be suppressed as a free action.

Marking Shot: An opponent hit by a sentry’s crossbow is illuminated by light as though they are forcibly affected by the eponymous spell. They also incur a -2 penalty to their Armor Class and a 10 foot penalty to their movement speed. This effect lasts until the crossbow bolt is removed, which can be done as a move action. Multiple crossbow bolts’ effects do not stack, but if the character is stuck with more than one bolt they must all be removed to purge the effect.

LA +0 Psionic Illithid

Although it looks like something straight out of a Lovecraftian horror novel, the illithid has become one of the defining monsters in the D&D game. Sadly, the stupidly high amount of strong abilities granted make it inaccessible to the PC's in its current form, not to mention a possible TKO anytime one (let alone a group) is encountered.

Worst of all, though, the illithid was made before D&D came out with their psionics system (which, to their credit, is not awful). So this is the illithid/mind flayer that actually uses psionics, the way it was meant to be.

Racial Traits

None

  • Aberration (Psionic): Although they were once humanoids before becoming infested with creepy tadpoles, their unique method of procreation has made the illithid completely alien creatures.
  • Medium: As a Medium creature, a Illithid has no special bonuses or penalties due to its size.
  • Illithid base land speed is 30 feet.
  • Darkvision: An illithid can see in the dark up to 120 feet. Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise like normal sight, and an illithid can function just fine with no light at all.
  • Daylight Sensitivity: While in brightly lit surroundings (such as a daylight spell), an illithid suffers a -2 penalty to attack rolls and precision-based skill checks.
  • Latent Power (Ps): An illithid can manifest a single power, mind thrust, and has a power point pool of 2 points for the purposes of doing so. The standard illithid uses this power as a 1st level manifester even if he has no levels in a manifesting class, although additional levels in a manifesting class can increase this. This also allows the illithid to qualify for psionic feats and use psionic items.
  • Mind Flayer: The illithid’s colloquial moniker comes from its tendency to devour other peoples’ brains with its tentacles. If the illithid succeeds on a coup de grace with an unarmed attack, it may use the four tentacles around its mouth to remove the victim’s brain and devour it.
  • Mind Meld: An illithid can communicate telepathically with any creature with which it currently has physical contact.
  • +4 bonus on Psicraft checks
  • Automatic Languages: Undercommon.
  • Bonus Languages: Abyssal, Common, Draconic, Githyanki, Githzerai, Infernal.
  • Favored Class: Psion
  • Level Adjustment: +0
  • Effective Character Level: 1

1 - Telepathy, Tentacles, +1 manifester level

  • Tentacles: Tentacle attack(s) that deal 1d4 damage at Medium size (should these be prehensile? It makes for interesting warrior options if they could wield light weapons or at least be used in conjunction with regular weapons)
  • Consume: Take memories from brains of creatures eaten, gain temporary skill bonuses +1 per character level of the ulitharid or CR of eaten creature

Mind Slave (Ps): An umber hulk is bred to obey the commands of psionically gifted creatures, most commonly the mind flayers who use it as a proxy for themselves in melee combat. When the umber hulk is psionically focused, a creature with telepathy can attempt to take control of it by concentrating and making a Concentration check (with a DC equal to 15 + the CR of the umber hulk). For each additional umber hulk the telepath is attempting to control in this fashion, the DC increases by 2.

While an umber hulk is controlled, it continues to fight even after it should be deceased. Once the creature is considered dead (whether by death effects or hp loss), any further attacks or effects that affect the umber hulk force it to make a Fortitude save (DC 10 + ½ the attacker’s HD + their relevant ability modifier based on the attack or effect used) or have the psionic link between the umber hulk and its controller severed, effectively killing it.

Psychic Catharsis (Ex): When it breaks its psionic focus, the umber hulk gains a +2 bonus to attack rolls. If the umber hulk makes a successful slam attack while in this state, the creature struck must make a Fortitude save (DC 12 + Strength modifier) or be confused for 1 round.

Psychic Rejuvenation (Ps): When the umber hulk enters a psionic focus, it may spend an additional swift action to gain fast healing equal to its Challenge Rating (4 by default) until the focus is broken.

Rebound Psionics (Ps): While it is psionically focused, any targeted psionic power directed at the umber hulk does not affect it. Instead, the psychic energy explodes outwards, dealing 1d6 points of damage per two manifester levels of the source of the power to all enemies within 30 feet.

The sailors fear to go near those cliffs. They know what terrors lie in wait there, just looking for an unsuspecting man to pluck from the deck and carry to his doom.

What is swooping down on you appears to be a woman, just one with massive feathery wings. Hands and feet twisted into cruel-looking talons, it rips and claws at you before latching on and lifting you into the air, all in spite of the fact that you are nearly the same size.

Harpies are pretty cool creatures, having been canonized by man since the days of Greco-Roman mythos. But someone at D&D would appear to have gotten them confused with the sirens with the whole captivating song bit the SRD version has.

In the interests of preserving the niche of the siren, this harpy takes a slightly different direction, opting for a vicious predator that carries its victims away to kill and eat them. Which is also pretty much what they were to the Greeks.

Combat

A harpy has clawed hands and feet, allowing it four claw attacks while in flight. It adds its Dexterity modifier to attack and damage rolls, as well as grapple checks. Sadistic creatures, they enjoy toying with their prey by picking up victims and repeatedly dropping them, only to catch them again before they fall to their deaths. One can only speculate what terrors await those who actually reach the nest without being torn to shreds in transit.

Because the harpy lacks range, it must make use of its primary advantage of flight and fearsome melee prowess. As a result, they typically resort to hit-and-run tactics and use their mobility to quickly close the gap between them and opponents, preventing them from being easily kited to death. The typical harpy attack routine is claw, rake, and then grapple if possible.

Abduction (Ex): Hitting with at least two claws allows the harpy to initiate a grapple as a free action. A harpy can also carry any creature of Medium size or smaller, despite only being Medium size itself. For each additional harpy grappling the creature, the maximum size of creature that can be carried off increases by one.

Dive (Ex): A harpy in flight may move 10 feet as a swift action. When it chooses to do so, it gains a +2 bonus to attack rolls and adds an additional 1d6 points of damage per 2 CR it possesses (2d6 by default) to each successful melee attack it makes during the turn in which that movement was made.

Harpy's Keening (Ex): Harpies signal the hunt with a shrill cry that strikes fear into the hearts of enemies. Non-harpies within Close Range (35 feet by default) must make a Will save (DC 11) or be shaken for 1 round per 2 CR of the harpy (2 rounds for the default creature). A creature that saves successfully cannot be affected by the keening of any harpy for 24 hours.

Rake (Ex): If a harpy hits with one claw attack, it may take a swift action to attempt another claw attack at its highest Base Attack Bonus, attacking the creature’s eyes if it has any. If this second attack is also successful, the opponent takes damage must take a Fortitude save (DC 17) or be blinded for 1 round.
