Looking for a good ratmen faction

Looking for a good ratmen faction

I’m looking for some good rat men monsters. Something along the lines of skaven from Warhammer Fantasy, but they can have their own flavor. It would be awesome to have different versions representing rat men society.

Does anyone know of any that have already been created?

I saw the mutant ratmen on the codex, but is is pretty generic for what I’m looking for.

Thanks for any that you know of or any thoughts on the matter.

So, I tried my hand at a statless monster.

So, I tried my hand at a statless monster. I hadn’t intended for it to be statless, but I wanted to create something that acted like a virus or a poison, but is otherwise harmless. I realized that giving it stats thus made no sense.

Flikers

—————–

Flikers appear as the shimmer of the sun on waters, as the sparkle on snow on a bright day, as the glitter cast by a young woman’s sequin dress, and anywhere else light twinkles. Usually they pass through the air harmlessly. But when infused with light, they gain the temporary ability to enter the eyes of anyone looking directly at them. Once inside the body, they disrupt the host’s senses, slowly driving them insane. The afflicted have run off cliffs, clawed out their own eyes, and dumped boiling water over their head. Only extreme measures or luck will save them. Administering a cure can be dangerous, as the Flikers often appear as the glint in their victims’ eyes and thus spread to another.

Instinct: To infect and spread

Poisonous, Minuscule, Infectious

No HP, Armor or Damage Die. See special moves.

Special Moves:

Get inside you and confuse your senses

Slowly make you go insane

Spread to someone else

The “civilized” lands of the South are ever-hungry for slaves. Who else will mine salt, break their backs hauling stones, or wallow in the filth of hostelries and tanneries?

The worst, though, is what happens to those slaves too feeble to work, or too proud to serve. They are taken away to one of those unsightly black slabs of buildings, given over to officiates wearing masks and robes and thick leather gloves. They are led from those buildings by chains: wasted, hairless wretches with silvery eyes, fierce and fearless and perfectly loyal. Instinct: to rend their masters’ foes

Qualities: fearless, utterly loyal

* Pounce upon a foe with relentless, unthinking fury

* Spot a threat that would escape human eyes

* Clamber up and over without pausing

A few more creatures to go with the location from the previous blog entry:

These three creatures are members of an alien race that has crashed on the campaign world. Some time before they cashed but after they left their home world, they were “infected” with creatures from the Patchwork Kingdom (a plane of tainted chaos which is the source of all things arcane) who merged with their hosts. Now at war with the citizens of the sinking city of Odin’s Spear (for reasons not entirely clear at this point) they are a threat to any who wander too close.

Taking a page from Mark Tygart, I am trying to use the alien from the Star Trek TNG episode “The Skin of Evil” and combining it with the Symbiotes of Venom and Carnage for a alternative take of Pitch Black. I was thinking about maybe doing a variation of a gelatinous cube or a chaos ooze. Any ideas?

Hey folks, here is another monster I have made!

Hey folks, here is another monster I have made! As with the others, it is on the weird side. It has stats for Dungeon World. Since I am still learning to use DW and make content for it, any comments or critiques on its construction would be greatly appreciated.

It is a beautiful day!

It is a beautiful day! Getting ready to grill with my nerd crew, which includes 2 new members. Watching Agents of Shield, painting minis, and getting excited for the next installment of my buddy’s 5e Planescape game.

I’ve got enough sausage from Karl’s Sausage Kitchen to feed a small army … http://www.karlssausage.com/

Erowid, the half-gith Bard/sorcerer and his strange not-quite-familiar Albrecht the Avernal Hog. I need to share and ink him, but a fine start to be sure.
