After a while away I can't seem to re-register for the old boards.

Can anyone more technologically able than me save the monsters I submitted to be found at:

I'm quite proud of the Servitor of the Outer Gods

Good ones, the Servitor is fun... I always thought a monster that acted as an "extra outskirts" could be fun. (same concept as Servitor, but the monsters stack up off the board until the main monster leaves, then they all come flooding in at once)

I would change the text on the monster to make it say "While in the same location with the Servitor, monsters do not count against the monster limit". Otherwise, there should be a way to keep track of which monsters were summoned by the Servitor and which just encountered him/it

geki... what else?

Ok, I'll try to post monsters as soon as I can make my EON to support them in English and not in Italian

Here we go!

First one is the Krampus, intended to be taken from German tradition. Anyone from Deutschland to confirm?
It's a creature of nightmares, who takes bad children on Christmas Time, so we gave him a very difficult and dangerous horror check and nightmarish 1. He has a simpler combat check. He has toughness 2 because he's depicted as bigger than a normal human.





What do you think? It started as a joke, but we tried to make it coherent.

Next one is a totally new monster, no source to take him from... We were inspired by this image when we were searching the web for an Egyptian related monster image. He goes on the line of Mi-go, Tcho-tcho, Wizard Wizely. He's supposed to be used with CoDP expansion, otherwise substitute "exhibition item" with "unique item". He has 2 toughness and a -2 combat check to reflect the fact that he bring the Flame of Sekhmet

Our 2 last monster, obviously, are taken from Greek mythology, that we like a lot. They have very particular rules, so may be they are overpowered, but we tried to make them reflect what their powers are, traditionally. Any comment or criticism is highly appreciated. I like the fluff texts a lot, on the previous 2 also.

The hound is ok, but are you passing 3 combat ROUNDS or 3 separate combats? Meaning, normally if I cast a spell, and fail the first round, I can still get a bonus from that spell for the next ROUND. Is your monster intended to work this way?

Medusa seems a bit backwards as far as the theme goes. I would think that if you failed the HORROR check, you saw her and were petrified. If you passed the horror check, you were all good looking at her, and could fight on.

Other than that, I like them both.
