Man, that thing is tough.

 

Technically, the Damage Reduction shouldn't be in the EC, but since it's an NPC, it doesn't matter much.

 

I'd give some of the creature's Skills some colorful names, if they don't work in the usual fashion. For instance, I assume the Lockpicking is because it just lets its "fingers" flow into the lock and pushes the tumblers around, not that it knows how to use lockpicks.

 

Looks like a good challenge for a large group of Heroic characters or a smaller group of tougher ones.

Im not trying to pick a fight, Im just curious: Why?

 

I don't recall any ruling of such...Can you explain?

 

- Nice creature btw Eosin -

Re: Corrupted Water Spirit

 

most of the time 0end powers arent allowed in EC's as a game balance issue.

As AnotherSkip said, it's normally disallowed. It's in the Guidelines section of EC's, I don't have my book to give you a page reference.

 

It doesn't matter to much in the case of NPC's (except published ones), since presumably the GM can get his own permission to overturn the rule.

Re: Corrupted Water Spirit

 

As mentioned - normally 0 END powers are not allowed in an EC but it wasn't much of a big deal since it isn't to tweak a PC so much as to organize the "powers."

 

Thanks for the comments. When you hear a scream tonight you know that I have unleashed this monster on the party.

Re: Corrupted Water Spirit

 

They wont scream they'll say "Great Googlie Mooglie"

Re: Corrupted Water Spirit

 

Actually we didn't scream since he didn't get around to loosing this particular beastie on us tonight. However, due to the current storyline, we know that we might encounter something like this so it is scary enough.

Re: Corrupted Water Spirit

 

What is truly scary, is that I have an ongoing fling with this things offspring!
