#5cam_banksAug 16, 2003 22:45:46 | Originally posted by Matthew L. Martin Actually, there's no problem with sahuagin. Krynn's oceans have communities of them, along with merrows (yrasda), koalinths, locathahs, tritons, merfolk, etc. Those are some big oceans. Cheers, Cam |
#6iltharanosAug 17, 2003 1:46:34 | Hmm, since Sahuagin exist on Krynn, do Malenti also exist? If they do, would these sea elf look-alikes have a limited ability to polymorph similar to Dargonesti/Dimernesti? |
#7iltharanosAug 17, 2003 1:48:55 | Originally posted by Matthew L. Martin Monster Manual Titans don't exist either. |
#8ferratusAug 17, 2003 3:21:36 | Now that we know what doesn't exist, what monsters are so rare that you will probably won't see them? I'm guessing: Areana (sp? intelligent spiders) Acaths Beholders Digesters Ettercaps Giants (Fire, Frost, Cloud, Storm) Mind Flayers Rast Tarrasque Worg Xorn Yuanti (we already have dragonspawn after all) I'm importing Forest Giants as counterparts to the Ogre Titans eventually in Silvanesti, because I think they're pretty. I like pretty monsters too much. ;) |
#9bansheeAug 17, 2003 20:16:57 | Originally posted by iltharanos I haven't seen any references to Sahuagin in DL that I can remember....though I haven't looked over the original modules in years. However, I do remember that there is a "Dark Elf" variant of the Dargonesti.....they live deeper in the ocean, are more feral, and can polymorph into sharks instead of dolphins. Banshee |
#10talinthasAug 17, 2003 20:34:09 | there are no specific references to sahaguin, but nothing says they arent their either. In general, if it isnt specifically forbidden, its ok. |
#11Matthew_L._MartinAug 17, 2003 20:45:33 | Actually, there's a note in the last pages of DL6 Dragons of Ice that sahuagin don't exist on Krynn. Matthew L. Martin |
#12talinthasAug 17, 2003 21:17:52 | show off ;) |
#13iltharanosAug 17, 2003 23:36:44 | Originally posted by talinthas Actually, they do exist. Actually, there's a note in the last pages of DL6 Dragons of Ice that sahuagin don't exist on Krynn. But the more recent DLR: Otherlands (1990), specifically mentions the existence of Sahuagin. On page 69 in the Watermere section, it discusses a field of shipwrecks at the bottom of the sea: [M]any of the wrecks are populated either by vicious sahuagin, giant slugs, or groups of lacedons, the latter being the reanimated dead bodies of the ships' crews. Interestingly, this same sourcebook mentions four Dargonesti gods (likely demigods), as their levels are listed as lvl 21 cleric, level 20 mage, level 22 cleric, and level 24 thief (2nd edition stats, of course). It also mentions the Mahkwahb (the evil sea elves Banshee pointed out). |
#14iltharanosAug 17, 2003 23:47:27 | Originally posted by ferratus Fire, Frost, and Cloud giants are found in Taladas (they're listed on the random encounter tables for the continent). Yuan-ti wouldn't be such a problem, if you confined them to Taladas (along with the Yaggol). Vampires and mummies seem to be scarce on Krynn (novel-wise, anyway). |
#15cam_banksAug 18, 2003 0:01:04 | Originally posted by iltharanos Bingo. When presented with a race like this, one must consider whether it's serving any purpose to leave it out. Sometimes, yeah - the role may be filled by something else. In this case, the more the merrier. Cheers, Cam |
#16Los_GrakAug 18, 2003 7:55:38 | Vampires and mummies seem to be scarce on Krynn (novel-wise, anyway). I know you didn't actually say that they don't exist, but there are vampires on Krynn (Ansalon at least). In the Tales of the Lance boxed set, it states that Tika's dad actually had a run in with a vampire. The two had it out, her dad disappeared and the vampire was found floating in a river, or something like that. |
