Here’s an NPC/monster I used during a Planarch Codex session today. It made for a great scene during play, so I thought I’d share.
Ghost of a nameless Planar Poet
Solitary, Intelligent, Planar
Cutting Voice (10 damage) 12 HP 0 Armor
Close
Special Quality: Flaming Eyes
“It almost looks like a human, almost, except for the flaming eyes. Wait, I think it’s talking… Oh my… ugh… it’s a seemingly neverending lay about the mistreatment and injustices experienced during a poetic life… no, we can’t leave now, we can’t possibly… no, not another line of regular iambic pentameter, please, no… PLEAHEAHEASE… NOOOOOOOOOOOOO.”
Instinct: Gather an audience
– Enthrall their minds and make them listen
– Make them feel utterly lost and desperately lonely with poetry
