Ok, here's the scoop: I will post a question once a week for 6 weeks. Whoever answers the most questions right wins a prize, free shipping and all. One answer per member.

Question 1: What creature has an ability which can turn a PC into that type of creature? It is also the name of one of my very favorite bands. Choose wisely.

Son of Kyuss.

1 point for Grodog. I will post the next question Friday.

Vocalist John Garcia, guitarist Josh Homme, drummer Brant Bjork and bassist Chris Cockrell made up Sons of Kyuss, their original name taken from a Dungeons & Dragons game.


How the phuq can you beat that?

Frank, have you checked out Dungeon issues 124 and 125?  

They start out a new campaign arc of adventures that focuses on Kyuss and his machinations to bring about the Age of Worms.  Erik Mona (GH guru extraordinaire, and editor of both Dungeon and Dragon) wrote the first adventure, "The Whispering Cairn," which is set in the Cairn Hills....

I think they rock in an encounter. When i ran The Lost City a while back (B4?)....i recreated the whole module the way i wanted it. When the characters got to the tombs, i had them encounter two Son's of Kyuss. Unfortunately, the group made easy work of them despite my best efforts. Jessica (my oldest daughter)...was quite funny tho. it was her first adventure that i DM'd and she didnt like the look of it whatsoever, so what she did, was pick up a coffin and attack the monster with it. i penalised her for being encumbered and being too bulky to attack, but said that if she rolled a 20, she would hit the monster with it straight on. 'lo and behold, a 20 and then she rolled another 20 *sigh* so i said she hit it square on with the coffin and smothered it. she then set a flask of oil alight and burned the coffin with the son of kyuss underneath. the other one was decapitated in half by the fighter and his massive TH sword.

was a fun encounter tho.

and as i said, great monsters to use. i also like coffer corpses.

You know, I like Kyuss - but I really think QotSA is a better rock'n'roll band.  For STONER ROCK I really prefer the almighty and dreadfully magnificent MATT PIKE of HIGH ON FIRE (Sleep is also pretty gawdamm high, as well).

I can't wait.
Question #2: What creature has the "kiss of death" as its main attack?

Nereid?

Male Fiendish Plant Druid  in d20 ...

Selkies?

Darn, guess I should look it up.
