Your void herald and my own mons...Well done, Eric! <br />Your void herald and my own monster have similar cocoon abilities, but your Void Hibernation was well executed and I really want to congratulate you on that; it works well and isn't clunky. <br /> <br />May I suggest that "They often have great information, ..." would be better written as "They are informative, ...".

I agree with some of the judges that the mechanics of the grasp could be better, but grab/grappling is one of the more confusing rules systems.<br />I thought that this monster should have a decent bluff skill since they seem to be deceptive.Andrewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08012138340507755708noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699951736004887261.post-53108485892635179422016-12-05T19:13:42.674+00:002016-12-05T19:13:42.674+00:00Augh, my comment got eaten!

Congra...Augh, my comment got eaten! A quick redo:<br /><br />Congratulations Eric!<br />I like the evil alien vizier thing a lot. PCs could have a lot of fun trying to expose a Herald when it positions itself into a peaceful society which it is making prosperous. It could even win the trust of the PCs by using Breath of Life if another monster attacks them! Dastardly, and clearly the monster inspires readers to use it.<br />I was unclear about whether it is aware of its surroundings (thus able to navigate well) when hibernating, though I suppose it arrives wherever it needs to by way of off-screen plot.Isaac Volynskiynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-699951736004887261.post-25665598128214954462016-12-05T19:02:57.008+00:002016-12-05T19:02:57.008+00:00For some reason, I want to reskin this guy as an o...For some reason, I want to reskin this guy as an outer space kyton... I think it's pretty cool, but for some reason (and I'm not sure why), the use as envoy for a multiple creature group annoys me.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16908854190335833004noreply@blogger.com
