i actually illustrated a bunch of D&D monsters earlier this year. i'm working on a project where i'll re-illustrate the whole monstrous manual with some other artists. here's a few creatures i made:

sadly i haven't been able to work on this project for a couple months because i've been doing concept art for a game, but i plan on going back to it some point soon.
Jesus Christ, that's some top notch stuff if you just add a tiny bit of detail. Like, I didn't think we had artists on FP that good.
I really like the Lich pic. The concept and the general vibe it gives off is really fucking cool.
[QUOTE=Glent;46252774]no rope 0/10[/QUOTE]
He's a cleric, it is reasonable for him not to carry 50 feet of rope.
Still, lacking the mandatory 20 is heinous, and lacking the 10 foot pole is downright sacrilege.
Guys seriously, I know a lot of newbie DnD players, or people who got in past 3.5 don't know the glory of Ten Foot Poles, but for GOD SAKE they are the most handy thing in your arsenal next to rope!
You in a hallway full of pressure plate traps? Congrats, they're all tripped, and you're far away thanks to your 10 foot pole in front of you.
Need to vault from building to building? Got you covered.
Need to nudge something off a ledge from far away? Double covered!
Need a safe place to store the halfling? Wear him like a Japanese war banner!
There is no END to the possibilities!
That picture of the wizards and lich reminded me of when I was in a GURPS campaign in which one of my backup characters was an undying lich that could slap people's souls into things. I think I had a picture to go along with it, too.

That's what the rogue is for, isn't it?
yeah but rogues can and will flub the dice check to disarm, leaving them soaked in acid, blown up by explosives, spiked by various pointy objects, shot by poison arrows, dropped into a pit (full of more spikes) and generally just given a bad day
Or you can just abduct villagers and make them run through a dungeon infront of you

In my first campaign, the Lich from AT actually made an appearance as an early villain, before taking residence in the Mage's soul. It was actually kind of interesting. Also, the Lich would "talk" to people in their head before the battle with it via me passing notes to players.
I have to commend our cleric for some seriously excellent roleplay. The Lich convinced him (no dice rolls, just RP) that he was the cleric's god, Pelor, and that the Mage would "blot out the sun and bring about eternal night."
This resulted in the Paladin turning on the mage and catapulting him across the room with a great hammer. :v:
Also, I found that class I was looking for earlier: [url]http://dndtools.eu/classes/cancer-mage/[/url]

you should always give one to the mage though, let him paint some shit on it and boom, really big wizard's staff

[QUOTE=doomkiwi;46258501]Ten foot pole.[/QUOTE]
It seems to me like a grappling hook and ten feet of rope would do most of these things and be easier to store.
Or get a buddy to cast shrink item, or bring a glove of storing.
Ten footers and phalanxes are arguably the silliest choice of spear I'd allow in tabletop, even if they got the reach.
Imagine being in a ten foot wide corridor and having to turn around to stab a dude behind the party. You'd have to snap your 15 feet long spear in half to get it around.

Put spearheads on both ends, no need to turn.
And down both sides too so it's just one extremely long serrated edge
[QUOTE=RearAdmiral;46260054]Or get a buddy to cast shrink item, or bring a glove of storing.[/QUOTE]
That's a third level spell, though.
Ain't no one gonna use an entire third level spell slot just for that, especially not when you'd have to recast after every time you need to use it.
I've found reach weapons to be generally useless outside of niche applications.
[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;46261499]I've found reach weapons to be generally useless outside of niche applications.[/QUOTE]
Spiked chain AoO builds are nuts
Especially when combined with Standstill
Or you can get a collapsible ten foot pole!
Shit, I really want to get into PnPs.
The problem is that I don't have anyone to play with - All of my RPG playing friends are (North) American. They play in the evenings on weekdays (past midnight for me), so it's impossible for me in to join, as I like to get at least a few hours of sleep every night.
I've only managed to play a few sessions of GURPS, but that didn't end up becoming much, thanks to the aforementioned scheduling problems.
Does anyone have any advice?
[QUOTE=Alxnotorious;46261499]I've found reach weapons to be generally useless outside of niche applications.[/QUOTE]
When I used them I generally wound up just taking a five foot step backwards every time my turn came around. Although if you can sneak in several attacks of opportunity they can be fun for culling crowds at low levels.

not too many euro games 'round here, you'd probably have to start up your own
otherwise, you'd just have to play at night during weekends and sleep during the day which is hardly ideal but workable, I've been doing that for a while now
