Poll #201 - More Monsters #3
🕑 Added 2021-08-18 15:00:07 +0000 UTCHey all!
I'm pretty excited to announce that we're going to be doing a More Monsters series.
What are More Monsters? This series will take a pretty standard monster from the Monster Manual and offer 10 or more variants to spice up your encounters a bit. These variants are based on the 4th Edition "monster roles" rules, which are actually pretty cool. That means each monster will get an elite version, skirmisher, controller, legendary, and so forth. These are relatively easy for me to make, so I plan to do one per week.
Our first one, featuring orcs, should debut next week. It comes with 10 new orcs along with a 40 x 30 orc camp battle map for you to use in your VTT games.
The second lair will be cultists, who secured (after a surprising rally, I might add!) the top spot last week. Kobolds earned more than 20%, so they get a second chance.
What should I make? Like Dungeons & Lairs, I'll let you decide what I make. This time, instead of alphabetical order, I'm going to do it by order of CR (ignoring beasts and non-SRD creatures for now).
We started with CR 1/8, and now we're into CR 1/4. I'm omitting some monsters that already have a ton of variants (such as drow and demons).
Usual rules apply: only one monster can win! Any that get more than 20% of the vote move on to the next poll. All others are cut 'til they come back around again.
Looking forward to seeing what you choose!

Since it look like grim lock is going to win, I’d recommend putting them in a different scenario than just the under dark somewhere that they normally are not. Adding some variety and unexpected trouble in a new area

Missed another one. If I had made it I would’ve voted for kobold.

Not sure how I got multiple votes, but I voted for Kobolds AND Grimlocks.
