Poll #306 - Helkara: One Monster Stays... the Rest Gotta Go!

But then the bones are sparkling...

Greg Laurich

I figure Game of Thrones, D&D, and LotR have dragons pretty covered. ;)

DM Dave

No dragons? Harsh

This is the first time one of these polls seems to be going my way. I don’t want to live in a fantasy world without Goblins.

Mark

All the sun does is flay the flesh off your bones.

DM Dave

Vampires... just don't make the sparkle in the sun... PLEASE?

Greg Laurich

A shape changing curse infuses the world. Transmutation at its finest. Deadly, powerful, horrible, used for good and ill alike. I could see not only civilizations/cultures based on the various permutations, but an entire parallel magic/alchemy system operating on the fundamental powers which cause this to be prevalent in Helkara.

Braon Moseley

angels can be demons...or bugbears...or vampires...and sphinxes....or any form they get twisted into. Maybe they start out as neutral light beings and warp after that depending on the forces that shape them

Mark

You don’t really need the distinction between devils and demons. If you have 1 why do you need the other? Unless you’re trying to imitate the WOTC Blood War, have 1 type of infernal denizen.

Dave... this is brutal. Most of these could fit into the MB style with a bit of gritty tweaking. Also, which is suited best for a frozen Noth pole? What lurks under the frozen waters that make getting to the free city so dangerous? Brutal. Lol

Kenny Myers

I picked Angels, now, wait, hear me out. I know this will be an unpopular choice. But what if the Sorcerer-Kings that caused the Cataclysm accidentally ticked off a LG deity from some other plane and that deity sent an army of avenging angels into Helkara to cleanse the evil that it found there? Angels would not be happy friendly things in helkara, they would be agents of vengeance ready to smite unsuspecting carefree murder hobos.
