Sick of slivers yet? Me neither! Download the PDF now for…
- The Deathbloom Sliver, which creates zones of healing whenever another sliver dies.
- The Ovine Sliver, whose horned crest will knock the wind out of even the heartiest adventurer.
- The Shadowsneak Sliver, sure to have your PCs swearing a blue streak trying to find the thing.
- The Sliver Triagist, which turns the tide of battle just as a cleric or warlord does for the PCs.
deathbloom is sooooooo awesome…
I think shadow sneak doesn’t fit though, at least not in what i think of slivers. I have never pictured them as sneaky. Now Triagst, he is great but to continue the aura thing I think i would add:
Aura 15 All slivers gain regeneration 1
I believe Mr. Shifting Sliver would like a word about slivers being sneaky…
I considered the aura idea, but I worry that that might be too much book keeping for too little gain. i.e. if it’s only 1, you’re healing every sliver 1 point every round and chances are it might not matter. Make the healing enough that it would matter, and then it might be too powerful.
Besides, I think it just works better when there are slivers without auras. I still worry that if all slivers have auras, then they’ll be more powerful than they should be.
I’m loving these posts. I think that they’re definitely going to be part of an upcoming campaign.
I like the aura thing though…. paperwork sure, but they are supposed to be annoying (the slivers) especially to the players… I can just hear it now “Which one do we kill? Well, which one is screwing us the most?”
Glad you’re enjoying ‘em, Pinwiz!
@Rifken: Sorry, I missed your comment the first time (you must have posted between when I loaded the page and posted my last comment).
As written there’s certainly nothing stopping you from only using slivers with auras. Just like the minion rules in core D&D, slivers without auras are just an optional bit that you can choose not to use if they don’t suit you.
BTW, I got your email, but I’m tired and don’t have the mental faculties at the moment to give you a good reply.
