Want to throw out an opinion not tied to any specific monster class? Ask general questions to me and the other contributors?
Here's the place!

So, IIRC some of the threads here were being transferred over by others and should be reattributed to OC? Let me know which ones those are.

Well Bhu hasn't actualy done any monster class, but he said he was willing to help transfer material from the old boards. I pointed him here and he's now giving the project an helping hand.

So the ones wich should be reattributed to me would be all the ones Bhu has been doing here.

I absolutely love the idea of monster classes, but these classes seem so powerful (especially casting ones, like Ethergaunts). It may be because I have no sense of balance, but can someone disprove my point? Has anyone played one of them?

Do take note that these monsters were designed to be tier 2, and probably upper tier 2 at that. They are good... but they can be beat. My group has proven that on multiple occasions.

We play them pretty regularly, though I'm pretty sure we're using earlier versions of them.

As a DM I've been very satisfied - they're powerful and simple enough to play that those who aren't that great at optimizing, and normally play characters they are dissatisfied with (whatever the tier) finally seem empowered and happy because they're playing a cool thing and it's working. The people good with the lower-tier normal classes don't risk overshadowing the group just by being effective.

But I haven't had any trouble throwing challenging encounters at them. Combats are fun and easy for me to run, I have a good idea what my players can do, and I don't worry too much about shifting a few good feats into my monsters to make the encounter interesting. Or spending NPC treasure effectively. Encounters with CR+2 creatures work well (for the 3 of them) as challenging encounters...

I'm generally quite happy with these classes. Kudos to Oslecamo.

Thanks for all the replies, now I am calm. Maybe I'll play force golem, khayal or nerra in a future game

Yeah, my classes are aiming at the higher power levels, but I do strive to keep out broken combos, loops and the like that actualy break campaigns.

On the other hand, I could really use any and all first-hand experiences so I can seek to improve the project's quality.

If you have the time, I would love to hear about how my monster classes performed in your games.

Hey Os, am I splitting the Nagas or leaving them all in one post?

oslecamo · « **Reply #9 on:** December 10, 2011, 09:55:03 AM »

Split them please, but leave them in the same thread (1st post for the "base" naga, then three other posts for each of the "prcs"). How we did with the kythons.

I just noticed. The alphabetical order of the index got the W after the X.

bhu · « **Reply #11 on:** December 12, 2011, 04:18:29 AM »

Me again. I'm having a lot of trouble with teh table for the Nimblewright. Any chance you can edit it in?

Congratulations, you just found out W isn't a letter in my native language. Fix'd.

Will do.

However I must remind you I already had ported the undeads. You can skip those, like the mummy and nightwalker.

facepalms

sorry bout that. real life is being a pain, I don't know how I forgot that.

bhu · « **Reply #14 on:** December 13, 2011, 04:56:32 AM »

I edited Nymph and Nixie into the duplicate critter posts

Bloody Initiate · « **Reply #15 on:** December 14, 2011, 02:00:36 PM »

I logged on today with the specific intent of transferring my classes over to the new site, and found you guys had already done it for me! Thank you for going through the trouble of doing so.

When it is convenient, any chance of getting credited for them? I only got credited for the Azer, not the Nimblewright, Force Golem, or Maug. I understand it was probably a pain moving them over with a new format and all, but it's genuinely eerie seeing things you made posted by other people without your name on them anywhere.

As for new material, I have no idea when I'll next be able to spend a large amount of time on these boards. Likely not until the start of the new year. Working nights for Christmas money

Thanks again for the work you do.

oslecamo · « **Reply #16 on:** December 14, 2011, 02:15:57 PM »

Ouch, seems like I missed that in the middle of all the ports. ~~I put the full blame on Bhu~~ Put the credits in.

Glad to see you're still interested in helping the project as well!

bhu:Nice, that way we don't need to delete threads.

Prime32 · « **Reply #17 on:** December 14, 2011, 02:25:34 PM »

Just let me know when you want posts reattributed.

Ok, can you reatributte the ones Bhu did to me, except those that Bloody Initiate pointed out, which should be atributed to him? Thanks in advance.

Prime32 · « **Reply #19 on:** December 18, 2011, 06:23:13 PM »

Done. Sorry I didn't respond to your PM.
