Norse Bestiary

[ksbsnowowl]

Here is my Norse Bestiary, ported over from the old boards.

I will be utilizing the Troll-blooded feat, as well as flaws, to enable some creatures to gain true regeneration.  It will cost 2 flaws to get this feat, however.

Troll Blooded [General]

(click to show/hide)

You are from a troll bloodline.
Prerequisite: Toughness.
Benefit: You gain regeneration 1 as an extraordinary ability. Fire and acid deal normal damage to you. If you lose a limb or a body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 days. You can reattach the severed member as a full-round action by holding it to the stump. You are fatigued while exposed to sunlight.
Special: You can take this feat at 1st level only. This feat exists solely for the purpose of creating trolls; only the DM may utilize this feat.

Legendary Fire Giant
[Based on the Fire Giant demi-god listed in Deities and Demigods, but corrected (it lists it as a Fighter 20, but it only has 20 Giant Hit Dice (but is listed as an outsider), but has 24 feats (as many as a Giant 20/Fighter 19 should have)).  I'll probably make them Giants with the Extraplanar subtype and divine rank 0, and give them 20 Giant HD and 10 to 20 Gestalt class levels, probably Fighter//Ranger. Gargantuan size.]

Level Adjustment: --

The creature resembles a disheveled and bare-chested gnome. It wears a pair of dirty leather breeches and goes barefoot. It has wildly disarrayed fair hair, dusky skin, and large eyes.

Many scholars contend that the boggart is an immature form of the will-o'-wisp, and that seems so. The boggart shares many of the will-o'-wisp's most dreaded abilities and also can take a will-o'-wisp form briefly. Elf sages, however, contend that the boggart is a baleful fey creature that only superficially resembles the will-o'-wisp. Unlike a will-o'-wisp, a boggart has no ability to feed on emotions and wreaks havoc with other creatures for the sheer pleasure of doing so.

In its natural form, a boggart is about 2-1/2 feet tall and weighs about 15 pounds. Touching the boggart's skin triggers a harmless electrical discharge, much like a static shock. In its will-o'-wisp's form, a boggart's body is a globe of electrified gas about 1 foot across and weighing about a pound. The globe glows and sheds as much light as a hooded lantern (slightly brighter than a will-o'-wisp).

Boggarts speak Common and Sylvan, though they have a magical ability that allows them to converse haltingly with any creature that has a language.

Combat

Boggarts love to lure unsuspecting creatures to their doom. They usually employ their shape-shifting abilities to put victims off their guard before attacking. When possible, they use their confusion ability for the initial assault, then use their electrical shock attacks. If a foe proves immune to electricity, they attempt to escape, usually by assuming will-o'-wisp form and flying away.

Confusion (Su): A boggart can cause a magical confusion effect by keeping up a loud racket for 2 rounds. The boggart can sing, shout, bang pots and pans, or do anything else that makes a great deal of noise. Using this power requires 2 consecutive full-round actions. A single boggart creates a confusion effect in a 30-foot spread. Two or more boggarts can cooperate to create a bigger effect. To do so, the boggarts must be within 30 feet of each other and each boggart must make noise in the same general manner; for example, both boggarts might shout out bad poetry or both might sing. Each additional boggart that joins the effort add 10 feet to the spread radius, to a maximum radius of 80 feet. When two or more boggarts produce a confusion effect, each boggart produces a spread with the increased size.

The effect works just like the confusion spell except that it is a sonic, mind-affecting, compulsion effect. A DC 16 Will save negates the effect. If a creature is subjected to multiple boggart confusion effects at the same time, it need save only once (against the effect with the highest DC if they don't all have the same DC). The save DC is Charisma-based. Once a creature has made a successful save against any boggart's confusion effect, it cannot be affected again by any boggart's confusion effect for 24 hours. A boggart's confusion effect does not affect other boggarts.

Electrical Bolt (Ex): A boggart can produce an electrical spark that can affect a single target within 40 feet. The boggart must make a ranged touch attack to hit the target, and a hit deals 2d4 points of electricity damage. Once the boggart fires a bolt, it must wait 1d4 rounds before it can fire another.

Deflection (Su): No matter what its form, a boggart is continually surrounded by a protective field that gives it a +4 defection bonus to Armor Class (already figured into the numbers given above).

Invisibility (Su): A boggart can become invisible as a standard action. This power works just like an invisibility spell, except that it lasts for 3d4 rounds (or until the boggart attacks).

Magic Immunity (Ex): The only spells that can affect boggarts are magic circle against chaos, magic circle against evil, magic missile, maze, protection from chaos, and protection from evil. Other spells and spell-like abilities fail just as if the spellcaster had failed to overcome spell resistance.

Tongues (Su): A boggart can converse with any creature that uses language. This power works just like a tongues spell cast by a 6th-level character, except that it is always active and it allows for only basic communication (only one- and two-syllable simple words and simple syntax).

Unstable Form (Su): A boggart can assume its own form or the form of any Small or Tiny humanoid, monstrous humanoid, or fey with a humanoid form. The boggart also can assume the form of a ball of electrified gas similar to a will-o'-wisp, but less tangible. When in will-o'-wisp form, the boggart can fly at a speed of 50, with perfect maneuverability. The boggart also gains damage reduction 10/magic and becomes immune to poison and critical hits. It cannot speak or use its confusion power, but it can use its shock and electrical bolt powers. It has no Strength score, but it cannot enter water. It can, however, pass through small holes or even mere cracks.

A boggart must change form every 3d4 rounds (though it can voluntarily switch forms sooner if it wishes). If flying when forced to change form, the boggart descends 60 feet a round until it lands, and it suffers no falling damage.

The boggart does not regain any hit points for changing its form. When changing form, a boggart retains its fey types and shapechanger subtype. It gains the size of its new form, along with the natural weapons, natural armor, movement modes, and extraordinary special attacks of its new form. The boggart retains its own special qualities and does not gain any special qualities of its new form except as noted above the will-o'-wisp form. The boggart retains its own special attacks except as noted above the will-o'-wisp form. The boggart retains its own ability scores except as noted above the will-o'-wisp form. The boggart is effectively camouflaged as a creature of its new form, and it gains a +10 bonus on Disguise checks if it uses this ability to create a disguise.

Copied the corrected Wild Hunter stats here, in case WotC decides to start freeing up some server space...

Encounter C4: The Hunter, from pg. 41 of Expedition to the Demonweb Pits, concerns a new creature and its mount:

A massive stag bears a humanoid-shaped rider wearing dark plate armor that is pitted with rust. The rider holds a lance at the ready, and a greataxe rests on the saddle in front of it. Most strikingly, the figure’s rune-etched helm floats inches above its shoulders, obviously and disturbingly detached from its armor.

While combat stats for the wild hunter and its magaloceros were provided on pg. 49, the full write-up for this duo is now provided below.

_________________________________________________________
Bow Precision (Ex) A wild hunter is a deadly shot with its bow, dealing an additional 2d6 points of damage on every shot. Creatures immune to critical hits do not take this additional damage.

Horn of the Hunt (Su) As a standard action, a wild hunter can blow a terrifying blast upon its horn. Every creature within 60 feet, except wild hunters and their mounts, must succeed on a DC 25 Will save or be shaken for 1 minute. Creatures within 10 feet who fail their saves become frightened instead. Horn of the hunt is a sonic, mind-affecting fear effect. Whether or not the save is successful, a creature cannot be affected again by the same wild hunter’s horn for 24 hours. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Master Rider (Su) A wild hunter’s mount gains a deflection bonus to Armor Class equal to the hunter’s Charisma bonus (if any).

Rough Charge (Su) The wild hunter and its mount can charge across rough terrain and need not move in a straight line to do so.

Selected Prey (Su) Three times per day, as a swift action, the wild hunter can mark a single target within 60 feet as its prey by pointing at it. The hunter gains a +5 morale bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls against its marked target for the next 24 hours. In addition, all critical threats made against that target are automatically successful, so every threat is a critical hit. The hunter may have only one creature se-lected at a time.

Superior Woodland Stride (Su) A wild hunter and its mount can move through natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain at their normal speed without taking damage or suffering other impairments. This category includes thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that are magically manipulated to impede movement.

_________________________________________________________
Improved Grab (Ex) To use this ability, a megaloceros must hit an opponent of up to Medium size with a gore attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it wins the grapple check, it establishes a hold and can scoop up the opponent with its antlers and toss it aside.

Stampede (Ex) A frightened herd of megaloceroses can flee as a group in a random direction (but always away from the perceived sources of danger). The creatures literally run over any Large or smaller creature that gets in their way, dealing 1d12 points of damage for each five megaloceroses in the herd (DC 21 Reflex half). The save DC is Strength-based.

Toss (Ex) A megaloceros can vigorously shake any creature caught in its horns and fling it in a random direction. Resolve the toss as a bull rush maneuver (+9 check modifier), except that it does not provoke an attack of opportunity, since the megaloceros has already grabbed its foe before trying to toss it. The megaloceros does not need to move with its foe to throw it more than 5 feet. If the tossed victim wins the opposed Strength check, it remains in its current square, suffers no ill effects, and is no longer grappled. A tossed victim takes impact damage on landing as if it had fallen a distance equal to the distance it was tossed.



The wild hunter delights in hunting and killing—the more dangerous the prey, the more thrilling it is to chase. Each hunter rides a mount suitable for its environment, such as a megaloceros.

STRATEGIES AND TACTICS

The wild hunter initiates combat by blowing his horn. Then he selects a target, marks it, and attacks it with enthusiasm. In general order of preference, a wild hunter chooses mounted opponents, lightly armored and fast-moving prey, or a foe that has significantly injured him as a target. While the hunter prefers to pursue prey he has marked, he doesn’t take wild risks to get at it.

The wild hunter takes full advantage of his mount’s abilities and his own riding skills. In general, he feels no affection for his mount, considering it just another piece of equipment to be used as needed. Thus, although the hunter makes rea-sonable efforts to preserve his mount, he is nonetheless willing to place it in danger.

SAMPLE ENCOUNTER

A wild hunter is usually encountered alone on a mount. On rare occasions, a hunting group forms to chase down excep-tional prey.

Lone Hunter (EL 10): The typical wild hunter encounter is just one hunter mounted on an advanced 12-HD megaloceros.

Flying Hunt (EL 12): Two wild hunters mounted on griffons provide an interesting three-dimensional encounter.

ECOLOGY

Like certain other kinds of fey, wild hunters have only one gender—male in this case. Formed from the primal energies sparking between hunter and prey, they don’t have a regular life cycle of conception, birth, life, and death. Wild hunters come into being fully formed in the Wilderness of the Beastlands. They neither age nor breed, and they live until slain.

Environment: Wild hunters are native to the Wilderness of the Beastlands and can be found on any of the three layers of that plane. Although they have no planar travel abilities of their own, wild hunters sometimes join other fey or outsid-ers for planar travel to locations that promise good hunting. When encountered outside the Beastlands, they have the ex-traplanar subtype.

Typical Physical Characteristics: A wild hunter appears as a male humanoid about 7 feet tall, weighing approxi-mately 180 pounds. It wears dark, pitted armor and is usually mounted. Its helmet floats a few inches above its shoulders but appears completely vacant.

WILD HUNTER LORE

Characters with ranks in Knowledge (nature) can learn more about wild hunters. When a character makes a skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from lower DCs.

Knowledge (the Planes)
DC Result
19 The rider is a fey creature mounted on a tough but otherwise ordinary animal. Both can see in low light.
24 Wild hunters are native to the Beastlands. Like other fey, they can be harmed only by cold iron. Their abilities focus on mounted combat.
29 A wild hunter can gain bonuses on attack rolls against a given target by marking it. The sound of his hunting horn inspires terror in nearby foes, and normal and magical terrain does not impede him.

SOCIETY

Wild hunters are not people as much as forces of nature. They live to hunt, and the excitement of the chase and the thrill of the kill nourish and sustain them. They have no other motivations or passions.

A wild hunter uses his natural ability to handle animals to acquire a mount and upgrade it to superior mount whenever the opportunity presents itself.

Alignment: A wild hunter always has a neutral aspect to his alignment. Thus, an individual wild hunter can be lawful neutral, neutral good, neutral evil, chaotic neutral, or simply neutral.

TYPICAL TREASURE

Wild hunters don’t accumulate wealth. Each has one or two items of value—usually a high-quality weapon and/or suit of armor. This treasure is typically worth double the standard value for the wild hunter’s Challenge Rating.

WILD HUNTERS WITH CLASS LEVELS

Most wild hunters have little ambition beyond the immediacy of the hunt and the chase. Those that devote themselves to a class choose the path of fighter (their favored class), though some become barbarians instead. Few become rangers, since that class does not add much to their innate abilities.

WILD HUNTERS IN EBERRON

Native to Thelanis, the Faerie Court, wild hunters participate in court life, serving fey nobles as guards or simply enforcers. But most find Thelanis too quiet for their natural inclinations, so they travel to other coterminous planes. One legend tells of a band of wild hunters that prowls Shavarath, preying upon unwary travelers or stragglers from the armies massed there.

WILD HUNTERS IN FAERÛN

In the Forgotten Realms Campaign Setting, wild hunters are native to the Material Plane. They inhabit the less-populated areas of Toril where other fey dwell and spend their time avenging wrongs done to fey creatures. For example, they might hunt down the woodcutter who chopped down the dryad’s tree, or the adventurer who squashed the pixie for pulling one too many jokes. The philosophies and religious rites of the wild hunters blend the worship of Silvanus and Hoar in strange ways, revering nature while seeking retribution for harm inflicted on it. In addition to their normal weap-ons, a Faerûnian wild hunter carries two or three javelins of lightning.

This was the original post of that old thread:

So, I'm running a Scandinavian-themed play by post game, and as one would naturally expect, Trolls will play a large part in the monsters of the world.  Also, drawing on the strong Rashemi base incorporated into the world, bound demons are also a significant world aspect.  I wanted to work through these aspects and get some feedback from folks about some of the decisions and mental constructs that I've determined for the setting.

Typically, traditional Norse trolls did not regenerate, and thus I will have trolls that do not do so in addition to those that do.  Most of these will be things like Ogres that I've simply reclassified as "trolls" (since historically and linguistically speaking it was a very broad term anyway).  Another interesting aspect of Norse Trolls was that old, cunning females (referred to as Troll-wives) often would wield magic, especially of the kind to enchant or cover the approach of a troll attack within fog.  Thus, I've made use of several of the hags, and their supernatural abilities (sometimes with the addition of the Half-troll template from the Fiend Folio), as well as Orge Mages, to represent Troll-wives.  Also, trollwives will be shown through a level of Warlock and/or the application of the Primordial Giant template (Secrets of Xen'drik) [this would be really old troll-wives].  There were also a vast variety of trolls with different abilities.  Some lived on cliff-faces, others in or near the sea.  Some could change shape into trees or rocks, and others could take the form of a human and lure children out to the woods, where they would become the troll's next meal.  Also, many stories seem to imply that troll females are sterile, and thus the trolls must kidnap human females to use a breeding partners, producing fertile males and sterile females.

Within this setting Banishment and Dismissal do not work as effectively, and thus people long ago turned to imprisoning demons from Niflheim so as to protect the people of the world from their destruction.  There are two societies of spellcasters in the world that practice Circle Magic, and this is what made the binding of powerful demons possible.  In most cases, such demons were bound within a Stonehenge-like circle (as per the Hedged Prison form of Binding), and a maximized/empowered Forbiddance was placed around the prison to keep interlopers out.  This has prevented the demons from having much of a hand in the affairs of man, but the cunning evil beings always seem to find a way.

Sadly, a Forbiddance can't kill a (regenerating) troll, and thus evil Troll-wives have been whoring themselves to demons for some time, and some demons have gained a bit of power as generals of their fiendish troll offspring.

Anyway, enough background.  Here is my attempt to organize all the above into a semblance of order.

Most of these creatures come from the MMI, MMIII, Sandstorm, Unapproachable East, and the Half-troll template is from the Fiend Folio.

The non-regenerating trolls come in most all the varieties of regenerating trolls, and I will treat all the females (hags, ie- a troll/human crossbreed) as sterile:

Sea Troll: Male: Merrow, Female: Sea Hag
Generic Troll: Male: Ogre, Female: Annis Hag
Vitterfolk Trolls (known for shape-changing abilities, but sometimes confused with huldrefolk): Male: Half-fey Mineral Warrior Forestkith Goblin, Half-troll Changling, Half-fey Mineral Warrior Mongrelfolk, Female: Green Hag
Cliff Trolls: Taer
Two-headed troll: Ettin
Troll that eats children to grow stronger: Dusk Giant (Heroes of Horror)
Troll that turns to stone in sunlight: Fensir


Regenerating Trolls do not produce sterile females, but they will sometimes breed with a human anyway.  Most trolls follow the same breeding rules as a normal troll, unless otherwise indicated.

Sea Troll: Male: Scrag, Female: Scrag with a level of Warlock/Primordial Giant
Sea Troll male mating with a human = Half-troll Sea Hag

Forest Trolls: Male: Forest Troll, Female: Half-troll Green Hag

Generic Troll: Male: Troll, Female: Troll with Warlock/Primordial Giant
Troll male mating with a human female = Half-troll Annis Hag

Troll with problems in daylight: Wasteland troll (follows same breeding rules as a troll)

Troll that turns to stone in daylight: Half-troll Fensir

Two-headed Troll: Fell Troll

Cliff Troll: Half-troll Girallon

Troll that eats children to grow stronger: Half-Troll Dusk Giant

Giant Sea Troll: Half-troll Kuo toa leviathan (Underdark)

Other "normal" trolls follow the breeding rules of Trolls (Cave Trolls, Mountain Trolls, Ice Trolls, etc).

Demonic influence:

There are two or three specific types of trolls that in my mind represent a demonic influence on their abilities, so bear with me.

Demon/Devil + female Troll = m/f Half-fiend Troll
Half-fiend Troll + Half-fiend Troll = m/f Half-fiend Troll
Half-fiend Troll + Troll (or Fiendish Troll) = m/f Fiendish Troll
Fiendish Troll + Fiendish Troll = Fiendish Troll
Male Fiendish Troll + Female Troll/Warlock = Ogre Mage
Female Fiendish Troll + Male Troll = Troll
Horned Devil or Pit Fiend + Female (Demonic) Fiendish Troll = Demon Troll (Mur-Zhagul)
Glabrezu + Ogre Mage = Half-troll Draegloth


Thus, Ogre Mages are a more rare form of Troll-wife that only occurs with a trace of fiendish heritage, and the regeration of a Mur-Zhagul (which is only overcome by blessed or holy weapons) comes from a mingling of latent demonic blood and devilish blood that has that type of regeneration.  Lastly, I liked the concept of having a Glabrezu's demonic offspring show the extra set of limbs, and so I just added the half-troll template to a draegloth in that specific instance.

Thoughts?  Am I just too detail-oriented for a silly fantasy game?  Is the use of a Draegloth too silly or stupid?

I've been reading a book of Scandinavian folk and fairy tales, and it has provided some very interesting new insights and sources.  Some of them must be taken with a grain of salt, as most of these stories are from post-Christianization of Scandinavia, but they have some great information.

A story of 3 blind trolls that share one eye between them.  Despite being male, the best way to do this is with 3 blind Half-troll Annis Hags who then all see through the Hag Eye.

Most Huldrefolk can become invisible, often described as being accomplished via a magical hat.  One story includes a Huldre who drops her hat, and the hat would then work for others who wore it.  They often liked to steal meat, bread, milk, cheese and dishes.

Ley-lines and Faerie Roads/Huldre homes:  The cornerstone of a new home must be checked to ensure the new home isn't built over one of these invisible pathways, or over a Huldre home (at least without their permission).  Doing so will result in the home being plagued by missing items, accidents, and most likely destruction via fire.  Another story discussed a home whose entry hall was built over a ley line, and every night the sound of a great marching army was heard.  The home was picked up and moved 5 feet, and the sounds stopped.

Huldrefolk or trolls like to steal (especially unbaptized) children and leave a "changeling" in its place.  Most infants wore iron or silver brooches pinned to their clothes, as this prevented the huldre or trolls from touching them.  Another method was an iron "cradle knife" which was stuck into the cradle or the door frame entering the child's room, as it did not allow the creatures to pass or touch the child.

From another contemporary source I found online (though I haven't confirmed via any other sources), Huldrefolk cannot cross circles of ashes.

I happen to have the 2e Vikings Campaign Source...

The monsters loosely described therein (using other creatures as a base with notable differences) are:
Gast (Spectre/Ghost/Poltergeist)
Gengånger (zombie with an agenda like a ghost)
Hamhleypa (skin changer "lycanthrope", a bit like the swanmay)
Havmand (merman)
Linnorm (umm, duh?)
Nökk (Nixie, spring dryad)
Nisse (Brownie with the ability to change luck)
Pukje (goblin wizard)
Sending (Revenant crafted by a wizard and sent on missions, paralyzation power works on anyone opposing it)
Skogsrå (Nymph w/ the ability to gift a hunter with luck/unluck)
Sjörå (mermaid)
Spöke (Poltergeist/Ghost)
Svipa (evil Ghost without an agenda)
Dverge (probably well known to you...magical dwarves with crows feet)
Dock Alfar (slightly less evil dark elves)
Huldre (hidden-folk, doppelganger/artisans)
Maahiset (standard dwarf except that they're more barbaric and elemental magicians/evokers)
Multiple types of giants of course...more magical, bigger and mostly loners.
Trolls are listed as ogres with higher int and better gear, or as large, slightly ugly to handsome, but dangerous, man-like creatures.
Trow are Sea Trolls, described as an amphibious ogre.

New magic items include:
the Bottomless Drinking Horn (duh Wink)
Cloak of Dryness (endure elements but always remain dry, no matter what)
Cloak of Fire Resistance (as the ring from 2e)
Feathered Cloak (turns wearer and possessions into a falcon for 20-120 minutes, then turns off for 10 minutes)
Gusir's Gifts (raptor arrows with only 1d4 charges)
the Helm of Terror (Belonged to Hreidmar, Fafnir's father. It can cause fear (90') at will with a -2 to save, +1 to AC, invisibility as the spell at will, owner always has bad luck (-1 to rolls with one die type at all times))
Mirror of Transformation (Command word polymorphs the reflected creature as the mirror's owner desires, or blind the reflected creature (fort save))
Reed Stalk Spear (disguised spear +1 with 2x range), Riding Stick (Disguised club +2, one charge allows wielder to ride th estick as if it were a horse for up to an hour, or to become invisible as the spell. Has 3-30 charges)
Ring of Money (while worn for one day or more, creates d8 nonmagical copies of itself, but has 5% chance of failing and becoming nonmagical itself. Value is about 2gp each nonmagical ring)
Silken Shirt of Invulnerability (+1 to +6 AC, or Immunity to one of these: poison, natural fire & cold (has Imp. evasion vs.  magical fire & cold), missile weapons, drowning (as long as there is a surface to get to, the character will always float))
Sleep Thorn (Sleep as the pixie arrow, or a very rare version that causes suspended animation which only a specific condition, or wish, will reverse.
Stone Arrows (+5 arrow. Name a target, fire the arrow, ignore all range modifiers. Deals 3d6+5 if it hits. Not reusable)

There's also timelines and stuff. It's a pretty good resource, but I think that only the above would be different from the GURPS stuff.

Huldra
Theres specific Huldra stats out here.

Interesting take on it.  There is a story about a huldre woman who was engaged to a braggart who wouldn't shut up about her.  She subsequently beat him with her tail, causing him to lose his wits and become deafened...

The setting for which I'm making this bestiary is a gestalt setting, so I can probably get a similar result by just advancing a Nymph as a Druid//Bard.  Bards get Lesser Confusion rather quickly, followed soon after by Blindness/Deafness and Suggestion.  It would also grant her a Suggestion ability through her song.  Thereafter, she could gain a Confusion spell, and if she took a few levels of Sublime Chord, she could get Insanity and Forcecage (they were known for being able to trap victims in "invisible nets.")  Yes, this last would be at CR 19 or 20, but it just provides a nice regular progression for a Huldre Folk ranging anywhere from CR 7 - CR 20.

Edit:  As I am now working on statting up an advanced Huldre Folk, I realize another legitimate track toward it is to go Beguiler 9/Bard 1/Sublime Chord.  The one level of Bard gives you the needed Bardic Music, and allows you to dump all the skill points for the level into perform, to get that up high enough for the Sublime Chord prereq's.  Beguiler has all the other needed skills as class skills.  It is a very MAD caster character, needing good Int, Wis, and Cha, but Nymphs get racial mental adjustments of +6 Int, +6 Wis, and +8 Cha, so it's not hard to do.

but wouldn't the Mara be something different rules wise? The night hag seems a little too strong for it, or would you only be using it as a base for the thing?

The night hag seems pretty spot on with the abilities I've read about them.  The only difference between the Night Hag and the stories is that usually the Mara appeared as a normal woman during the day, and didn't realize she was becoming ethereal and riding men at night, but that's just fluff, and depends how the DM roleplays it (and who is to say that the women in the stories weren't faking innocence?)  The night hag's DR even points to a touch of feyness (Cold Iron) about the creature, which is just about right.

Been doing more reading and sifted out more info about the Norse concept of Swanmays, as well as coming to a decision on what to do about Vanaheim and its inhabitants (there is almost no historical info on Vanaheim).

Swanmays have been depicted in two ways within the literature: 1. Simply as fey creatures (and often their swan cloaks are stolen and they marry a mortal who has stolen it), and 2. The Valkyries were sometimes depicted as women who could become swans.

I've decided to construct both types for this Bestiary, especially because I don't particularly like the statting of Valkyrie as straight Paladin 20 (for certain setting reasons, I don't want them to be Lawful).

Swanmay: [Nereid 3/Druid 2/Swanmay 1-10]  This is the typical fey version of a Swanmay, with the minor mechanical alteration that the Nereid's shawl is required for her shape-changing abilities, as well as holding her essence.

Valkyrie: [Human Ranger 5/Swanmay 5/Holy Liberator 10]  Despite being based on a Human, its type will be changed to Outsider.  It gets most all of the Paladin abilities, including the equivalent of full Paladin casting, without being Lawful, and incorporating the ability to wildshape into a swan.

Vanaheim

As I said, there's not a whole lot of info available on Vanaheim, other than that it is the home of the Vanir, who were themselves older nature and fertility gods.  Given that last, I don't think it out of the ordinary to think of Vanaheim as an untamed wilderness full of fey of one sort or another.  This then causes me to make a leap toward the Faerie Realm of a more celtic origin, which would fit my needs well.

Thus, like the celtic realm of faerie, I've decided to make Vanaheim a majestic mirror of Midgard, with more intense and magnificent natural features that are coterminous with similar features on Midgard.  It is the home realm of the Huldrefolk, though many Huldre have migrated to Midgard itself through the "portals" that open at the time of Samhain and the equinoxes.  Also, there are a few denizens of Vanaheim who can cross the veil between the two worlds, appearing as spirits on Midgard (Spirit Animal, Frostburn).

The Huldrefolk, who are the majority of the realm's sentient folk, are usually Chaotic Neutral, though there are two courts within Vanaheim, who can likely trace their origins to the now defunct Vanir.  This will incorporate the Seelie and Unseelie courts, and much to my chagrin, will somewhat mirror what D&D 4e has done.... [Hey, it's based on the same myths - its not odd that they came to a similar conclusion...]

The Seelie court will be home to the Eladrins (MM, BoED) and the more "fairy" type of fey and other outsiders (Sylph, Pixies, maybe Glaoura).  The Unseelie court will be composed of outcasts from the Seelie court.  It will be filled with Eladrins with the Shadow Creature template (Lords of Madness, though some will have analogues that are different [Coure vs. Half-fey Quasit; Pixie vs. Gloaming; Firre vs. Banshrae]).  Other shadow fey will also call the Unseelie court their home (Shadar-Kai [FF], Banshrae [MMV], Gloaming [Und], Half-fey Dark Ones? [FF])

Each of the nine worlds of the Norse Cosmology will have its own ethereal and shadow planes (though some may have only one or the other), but in Vanaheim the Material plane and the Shadow plane share prominence as the primary property of the plane.  Vanaheim will wax and wane between the plane of shadow and the "normal" material plane, probably on a daily basis within Vanaheim (but it will correspond to the lunar cycles on Midgard - ie, the flowing time of the faerie realm).  Just as Humans will spend most nights snug in their homes against the things that go "bump" in the night, so too will many of the Huldrefolk spend their nights indoors against the depredations of the Unseelie court.

This small, long-legged creature has a flat head and a green hide covered with black hair. It shuffles forward, dragging its knuckles as it moves.

Tasloi are forest inhabitants whose race is thought to be an offshoot of trolls that diverged thousands of years ago. They are quick and nimble in the trees and prefer to spend their time among the branches.

A tasloi stands about 3 feet tall and weighs between 30 and 40 pounds. They walk in a crouching posture, dragging their knuckles at times. Their skins are green in color and thinly covered with coarse, black hair. Tasloi have catlike eyes that are gold in color.

Tasloi speak their own language, a derivative of Giant, but some clever individuals may speak Giant or a dialect of Common.

Combat

Tasloi normally attack from above, dropping from the surrounding treetops onto their unwary opponents. If they gain surprise, they may attack with their javelins. They use hit and run tactics in order to wear down tough foes, always avoiding a stand-up fight. If they manage to down an enemy, tasloi always try to abscond with the body -- food for the group.

Improved Grab (Ex): When a Tasloi hits a Tiny or smaller creature with a claw attack, it can attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity.

Light Sensitivity (Ex): Tasloi are dazzled in bright sunlight or within the radius of a daylight spell.  They are also fatigued under the same conditions, taking a -2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity, and are unable to run or charge.

Regeneration (Ex): Fire and acid deal normal damage to a Feral Tasloi. If a Feral Tasloi loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 days. The creature can reattach the severed member as a full-round action by holding it to the stump.  Regeneration interacts with Fast Healing in such a way that it effectively gives the Feral Tasloi Regeneration 3 until all nonlethal damage has been healed.  At that point the regeneration stops, and the fast healing heals the fire and acid damage.

Skills: Feral Tasloi can use their Dexterity modifier for, and get a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks. A tasloi can always choose to take 10 on Climb checks, even if rushed or threatened. Tasloi have a +4 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks. *In thickly forested areas, the Hide bonus increases to +8.

This hulking creature stands upright. Although it has the feral features of a troll, its rubbery green skin has a dark, metallic tinge and it wears substantial armor. The creature holds a greatsword with ease and is clearly a skilled warrior.

These intelligent and dangerous creatures were bred specifically for war. Never without their weapons and armor, war trolls know nothing of peace, only the chaos of constant battle. They typically travel from battle to battle in mercenary bands. Like forest trolls, they are capable of sophisticated tactics that most other trolls cannot match.

War trolls have a great love of magic weapons and armor, and they actively seek such equipment if it is properly sized for their frames. A typical war troll is 9 feet tall and weighs about 700 pounds.

War trolls speak Giant.

A paragon monster of legend primordial giant half-troll war troll's natural weapons are treated as +6 weapons for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.

COMBAT

Unlike their troll kindred, war trolls are precise and methodical in combat. They trust their regenerative abilities to see them through a fight against even powerful warriors, so they focus their attention on spellcasters early in any skirmish.

Dazing Blow (Ex): The force of a war troll's blow can be overwhelming. If a war troll hits with a weapon or claw attack, the opponent must make a DC 53 Fortitude save or be dazed for 1 round. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Haste (Su): This Primodial Troll can take an extra standard or move action during its turn each round.

Immunities (Ex): This troll is immune to acid and poison.

Regeneration (Ex): Unlike with their lesser cousins, acid (not fire) deals normal damage to a war troll. If a war troll loses a limb or a body part, the lost portion regrows in 2d4 minutes. The creature can reattach the severed member instantly by holding it to the stump.  A half-troll war troll's fast healing interacts with regeneration in such a way that the troll effectively has regeneration 14 until all nonlethal damage has been healed, at which point the regeneration ceases, and the fast healing heals any acid damage at the rate of 5 points per round.  This fast healing works so long as the troll has at least 1 hit point.

Rend (Ex): If a half-troll war troll hits with both claw attacks against the same opponent, it latches onto the opponent's body and tears the flesh.  This attack automatically deals 2d6+37 points of damage.

Spell-like ability (Sp): CL 28th, At will - Invisibility; CL 16th, 3/day - greater dispel magic, true haste, see invisibility.

Spells: This troll casts spells as a 5th level cleric (DC 21+spell level; 5/6/5/4).  It has access to the Protection, Strength, and War domains, but does not get an extra domain slot in which to prepare these spells.
Typical spells prepared: 0 - Create Water, Detect Magic, Guidance, Inflict Minor Wounds, Resistance; 1 - Obscuring Mist, Protection from Good, Shield of Faith, Hide from Undead, Sanctuary, Entropic Shield; 2 - Bear's Endurance, Lesser Restoration, Darkness, Undetectable Alignment, Silence; 3 - Bestow Curse, Water Breathing, Invisibility Purge, Remove Blindness/Deafness.

Trying to decide if this will work in a norse setting or not.  Haboob is basically just a hot blowing wind filled with grit.  This could be the hag tied to a Half-Ogre, rather than a Green Hag (though other than possibly being a Vitter troll, I've not decided how else to bring a green hag into the equation, unless she is the result of a Forest Troll mating with a human. 

Edit:  The answer may be the Dusk Hag from Eberron.  I'd forgotten about these, and they would make an excellent addition.  They are also CR 4, but are Medium-sized.  Maybe I'll make one or the other the half-human progeny of Cave Trolls, or one of the other types.

DUNE HAG

The beauty of the desert might be a dune hag

Wasteland cousins of the annis, dune hags use their disguise self and enthrall abilities to lure victims to their deaths. Dune hags enjoy the taste of humanoid flesh, and they take great risks to procure a meal of it whenever possible. A dune hag stands just over 8 feet tall and weighs some 350 pounds. Dune hags speak Common and Giant.

COMBAT

Dune hags do not like engaging in direct confrontation; they prefer to lure their victims to out-of-the-way places, where they either ambush the victim with superior numbers, trick the victim into some suicidal action, or simply wait until the victim is sleeping. To this end, they employ their disguise self ability to get close to unsuspecting victims, and try to kiss the victim before drawing him or her to some secluded spot for a "tryst."

If found out, a dune hag tries to kiss at least one enemy before fleeing, though she eventually returns to try to lure the enthralled victim to its death.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a dune hag must hit a creature of any size with its claw attack. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking attacks of opportunity.
Enthrall (Su): A dune hag can mentally enslave any humanoid it kisses. If the target is not willing to be kissed, the dune hag must start a grapple with the target. Once kissed, the target must succeed on a DC 15 Will save to negate the effect of the enthrallment. An enthralled target sees the dune hag as a beautiful desert princess, and firmly believes that the hag form everyone else sees is the illusion. The effect is otherwise like a charm person spell, except that the target can attempt a new save whenever he sees the dune hag in her true form, or he is presented with incontrovertible evidence that she means to harm the victim.
Spell-Like Abilities: 3/day--disguise self, haboob*, skin of the cactus*; 1/day--hallucinatory terrain. Caster level 7th. * New spell described in Chapter 5.

I'd never looked closely at the Varag from the MMIV; they are actually quite interesting creatures.  I'll make 3 varieties of them: One that is as intelligent as an animal, and basically are treated as hounds, another that is still quite stupid, and a set that are rather intelligent and control others in the pack.

Spell-Like Ability: Each Primordial Varag Troll can use either Invisibility or Invisibility Purge at will.  Each Varag Troll has one of these abilities, and it cannot later be changed. Caster level 4th.

.


Making the above Varags presented me with a dilemma.  Most of the trolls I have are CR 3+, and I'd like more of lesser CR's.  The Feral Template is a decent way of doing this, as it gives a small amount of fast healing at only +1 CR (which produces a gestalt CR of 1 when added to a CR 1 creature), but it is extremely problematic given its -4 Intelligence modifier, which is only compounded by already dumb creatures like the varag.

I'm thinking of using the Half-Vampire template as another means of making a weak troll.  It's only +1 CR, and grants fast healing 1 (only up to half HP's), and doesn't inflict an intelligence penalty (while also granting bonuses to Str, Dex, Hide, Move Silently, Listen, and Spot).  I'd never use the blood drain option, and figure "troll wives" of this nature would gain the Charm ability, while the males would get the Children of the Night ability.

There are not any Vampires in Norse myth at all, and I never intended for there to be any in this setting.  I think this will actually work well.  In the case of the varag, it would still be a humanoid (I'd prefer a type change to giant or monstrous humanoid), but I think this will work well.

This ability does not change the heat output or fuel consumption of the fire source, lasts 5 minutes, and may be done once per day. They use this ability as 5th-level sorcerers.

Healing Flames: This tanarukk can expend its daily use of Control Flame to gain healing from a source of fire.

Breath of the Night (Sp): This Tanarukk trollwife can produce an Obscuring Mist effect at will (CL 1st).

Charm Gaze (Su): This Tanarukk trollwife can charm humanoid or monstrous humanoid opponents just by looking into their
eyes. This is similar to a gaze attack, except that the half-vampire tanarukk must use a standard action, and those merely looking at the her are not affected. Anyone the tanarukk targets must make a successful Will save or fall under her influence as though affected by a charm monster spell (caster level equal to HD). Any creature that successfully saves against the tanarukk’s charm gaze cannot be affected by that tanarukk’s charm gaze for 24 hours. The ability has a range of
30 feet.

Control Flame (Sp): 3/day

This blood-red, smooth-skinned troll is larger than a typical member of its species. Its eyes glow with a fierce yellow flame, while a shock of orange and yellow hair rises from its scalp. Its claws and teeth are long, sharp, and black as charred steel.
Unlike other trolls, the fire troll is immune to acid and fire damage. These brutes make their homes in areas of extreme heat, from the hottest equatorial jungles to dungeon chambers lodged deep within the burning heart of active volcanoes.

Fire trolls typically build their homes in areas inaccessible to creatures that are vulnerable to fire. The trolls might dwell within a cave concealed by a lava flow. Fire trolls look at molten rock in the same way a human might regard a cool, refreshing pool of water.

Unlike other trolls, fire trolls rarely work with other creatures. They hunt fire giants for sport, and consider themselves the ultimate masters of the areas they claim. They are intelligent, cunning, and capable of making long term plans to increase
their hold over a region. When fire trolls work with other creatures, they do so as equal partners. This mercenary streak sometimes proves troublesome for the trolls' allies, as fire trolls are willing to break off a fight if faced with an overpowering
foe or a tantalizing bribe. Fire trolls love treasures and magic items that can resist extreme heat. Such gifts can sway them to
setting aside their weapons or withdrawing from a conflict.

COMBAT
Fire trolls are smarter than normal trolls. They prefer to strike from ambush, and whenever possible they exploit their immunity to fire and acid damage. A fire troll might wade into a stream of magma to leap out and attack passing travelers. Fire trolls use their Improved Bull Rush feat to knock foes into magma before diving in after them. Their love of roasted, burnt flesh makes this tactic their preferred method of fighting.

In areas of extreme heat, fire trolls prefer hit and run attacks to wear down their enemies. They know that softer creatures—as they call those vulnerable to heat—lose their strength and vitality when exposed to searing temperatures for extended periods. Fire troll Spellcasters use dispel magic to tear away any defenses against heat attacks before a tribe closes for combat.

Rend (Ex): If a fire troll hits the same target with both of its claw attacks, it latches on and tears into him. This attack deals an additional 2d8+13 points of damage.

Acidic Blood (Ex): The fire troll's blood is highly acidic. Any weapon used to strike the troll risks exposure to this searing acid. The acid deals 1d6 points of damage. A DC 23 Reflex save negates this damage. The weapon's hardness does not provide any protection against this acid. Attackers who use natural weapons, such as an unarmed strike, must make this save or take the damage. This ability's save DC is Constitution-based.

Fiery Regeneration (Ex): The fire troll's regeneration ability draws on the energy available in areas of severe heat (110 *F or higher). Under such conditions, the fire troll's regeneration increases by 4 points to 12 points per round. If any effect that deals fire damage targets a troll, its regeneration ability increases to 20 points for 1 round. If the troll is exposed to multiple attacks
during the same round, its improved regeneration's duration remains 1 round.

Regeneration (Ex): Electricity deals normal damage to a fire troll.

Vulnerability to Cold (Ex): Trolls regenerate cold damage despite their weakness to it. If cold damage drops a fire troll to 0 or fewer hit points, it must make a Fortitude save (DC 15 + cold damage taken) or be frozen in place. The troll is helpless for 2d4 rounds. If further physical or electrical damage reduces it to -10 hit points or lower, its frozen body shatters into dozens of pieces, killing it.

Prior to getting my hands on these stats, I had considered using the Elemental Magi (Ken-Li) as a "fire troll" since it has the fire subtype and fast healing 10.  I'd still like to use it as some sort of troll crossbreed, but don't know where to fit it into the "breeding mythology" of the trolls.

Regeneration (Ex): Fire and acid deal normal damage to a Half-Troll-Blooded Draegloth. If a it loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 days. The creature can reattach the severed member as a full-round action by holding it to the stump.  Regeneration interacts with Fast Healing in such a way that it effectively gives the Troll-Blooded Draegloth Regeneration 6 until all nonlethal damage has been healed.  At that point the regeneration stops, and the fast healing heals the fire and acid damage.
Sunlight Fatigue (Ex): A Troll-Blooded Draegloth exposed to sunlight is fatigued, taking a -2 penalty to Strength and Dexterity, and is unable to run or charge.  Because the At Home in the Deep feat allows the Troll-Blooded Draegloth to see normally within a magical darkness effect, troll-blooded draegloth usually utilizes that spell-like ability to block out sunlight, thus ending its fatigue.

The creature steps out from behind the gnarled tree on legs a bit too thin and a bit too long to be truly human. Its overall shape is humanoid, except it is emaciated nearly to the point of being skeletal. Its skin has a mottled brown and green hue, and it almost looks like tree bark in texture. Its long arms each end in three-fingered hands tipped with long, curved talons with cruel serrations along the inner curve. Yet the menace's head is perhaps the most disturbing. Roughly human-shaped, its face is that of a handsome elven man, except that the eyes and mouth are cold, dark gashes that flicker with tiny motes of light, like stars in the night sky.

Stories where sinister humanoid shapes flit through the depths of supposedly haunted woods are strangely common in some parts of the world. Sightings of murderjacks may inspire the majority of these stories. A murderjack is a cruel, capricious, and always sadistic fey that dwells in heavily forested areas. They are quite intelligent, and they often group together in tightly knit groups that hunt in packs. A group of murderjacks usually seeks out a solitary individual and uses the frightful presence ability to drive the victim deep into the forest where it becomes lost. The murderjacks then spend several days tormenting the poor soul, racing in to cut and slash at him until bleeding lacerations cover the victim's body. Eventually, when the victim collapses from fatigue, the murderjacks approach and cure his wounds, only to repeat the torment anew upon his waking. Only when the victim seems about ready to take his own life or escape do the murderjacks swarm, tearing the poor soul limb from limb and draping the red ribbons that remain over the trees for miles around.

A murderjack is 7 feet tall but weighs only 100 pounds.

Murderjacks speak Common and Sylvan.

Combat

The murderjack has no interest in fair fights. It prefers to use hit-and-run tactics over the course of several hours or even days, leaving its victim both horrified and fatigued. Only when murderjacks are confident that they outclass their victim, or they outnumber him, do they attack. When in a group, they work together to flank foes and keep them confused and disorganized with their spells and frightful presence.

Frightning Presence (Su): When a murderjack charges or attacks, it inspires terror in all creatures within 30 feet that have fewer Hit Dice or levels than it has. Each potentially affected opponent must succeed at a DC 23 Will save or become panicked. Creatures with equal or more Hit Dice become shaken only on a failed save. If a victim (whatever its Hit Dice) is caught in the range of three or more murderjacks and fails to resist at least three of their frightningpresence effects, she also suffers 1d4 points of Wisdom damage from the soul-numbing fear. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Spells: A murderjack can cast arcane spells as a 10th-level bard (3/5/5/3/1). A typical murderjack knows the following spells: 0 -- dancing lights, ghost sound, lullaby, mage hand, message, prestidigitation; 1st -- cure light wounds, expeditious retreat, sleep (DC 17), ventriloquism (DC 17); 2nd -- cat's grace, cure moderate wounds, detect thoughts (DC 18), hold person (DC 18); 3rd -- confusion (DC 19), cure serious wounds, deep slumber (DC 19), slow (DC 19); 4th -- dimension door, locate creature.

Woodland Concealment (Su): In woodland areas, the murderjack's green and brown seems to blur and fade into the brackground. Attacks directed at the murderjack when it is in a woodland area suffer a 20% miss chance.

Sudden Lunge (Su): Once per hour, a murderjack can move up to its speed as a free action. A murderjack often uses this ability to rush an opponent during the surprise round so it can make a sneak attack.

The hulking creature looks like a roughly humanoid, black-skinned biped with powerful long arms that end in a three-fingered prehensile claw. Its body is thin but muscular with thick legs. Its head is long and thin with large white eyes.

A malgoren is an ebony fey creature of the deep earth. Unlike most other fey, a malgoren is a powerful and cunning fighter. Each malgoren dwells in a crystal-lined cavern that it jealously defends against trespassers. A malgoren is not only fiercely territorial, but hates all living things and destroys any who are unfortunate enough to venture into its realm.

Despite their bloodthirsty ways, malgorens don't feed off flesh, but derive their sustenance from crystals. They never feed in their home caverns but venture forth to devour crystals elsewhere. Malgorens constantly hunt for crystal deposits, veins, or caverns to feed upon. Once they have exhausted the supply of crystal they move on, leaving large caverns in their wake. They are extremely xenophobic and have no dealings with other creatures. In fact, a malgoren will attack any creature that comes too close to its crystal cavern. While traveling, malgorens avoid all interaction or contact with other creatures, through occasionally several malgorens join forces to destroy any nonmalgorens they can find or to defend particularly rich veins of crystal.

A typical malgoren stands 10 feet tall and weighs 600 pounds. A malgoren's skin is ink black and extremely tough. It always appears as if it has an oily sheen to it. Malgorens have long, thin heads that slope forward, ending in a small oval mouth that has no teeth. Their eyes are large white ovals. Their long arms are very muscular and end in three six-inch claws.

Combat

In combat, a malgoren is a cunning adversary, moving silently through stone until it can set up an ambush on the creatures that have invaded its space. It casts darkness as it exits the stone and rushes to grapple or rend the creatures with its two powerful arms.

A malgoren speaks Terran and Sylvan.

Frightful Presence (Ex): 30 ft. radius, HD 18 or less, Will save DC 20 negates.A malgoren can unsettle foeswith its mere presence.The ability takes place automatically whenever a malgoren attacks or charges. (providing the being attacked can see the malgoren) Creatures within a 30-foot radius of the malgoren are subject to the effect if they have fewer HD then the malgoren. A potentially affected creature that succeeds in a Will save (DC 10 + 1/2 the malgoren's HD + the malgoren's Cha modifier) remains immune to that malgoren's frightful presence for 24 hours. On a failure, creatures with 10 or less Hit Dice become panicked for 4d6 rounds and those with 11 or more Hit Dice become shaken for 4d6 rounds. Malgoren ignore the frightful presence of other malgoren.

Improved Grab (Ex): A malgoren that hits with a claw attack may start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. If it succeeds in its grapple a malgoren can rend an opponent on its next turn with a successful grapple check.

Rend (Ex): If a malgoren hits with both claw attacks, it can latch onto its opponent's body and tear the flesh. This attack automatically deals an extra 2d8+10 points of damage. It also can rend with a successful grapple check once it has established a grappling hold.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will -- darkness. Caster level 9th

Earth Glide (Ex): A malgoren can glide through stone as easily as a fish swims through water. It leaves behind no tunnel, nor does it leave behind any evidence of its presence. A move earth spell cast on a space containing a malgoren flings the malgoren back 20 feet, stunning it for 1 round unless it succeeds on a DC 15 Fortitude save.

Advancement: 1-3 HD (Tiny)

The mischievous rime sprite is the bane of sailors and fishermen alike. This tiny fey derives great delight in tormenting humanoids who live and work on arctic coastlines. Rime sprites stand just over 1 foot in height. They look like animated ice statues of beautiful or handsome elves with snow for hair.

Most rime sprites remain content playing harmless jokes on people, such as freezing unattended drinks, entangling people and boats in patches of seaweed, or creating minor images of valued personal objects afloat just out of reach in the water. Rime sprites are easy to anger, though, and if they even think that they are being threatened, their jokes quickly turn deadly and cruel.

Rime sprites speak Common, Aquan, and Sylvan.

Combat

Rime sprites are fairly helpless in melee combat, and they know it. They prefer to use their spell-like abilities or ray of frost attacks from the air. They generally reserve their snow flurry ability to cover their retreats.

Snow Flurry (Su): Three times per day, a rime sprite can create a highly localized blast of windblown snowflakes at a range of up to 100 feet. A snow flurry fills a 5-foot cube, and any creature within this area must make a Reflex save (DC 14) or be dazed for 1d4 rounds.

Spell-Like Abilities: At will -- create water, dancing lights, ghost sound, open/close, ray of frost; 3/day -- entangle, minor image, obscuring mist. Caster level 1st; save DC 14 + spell level.

Cold Subtype (Ex): A rime sprite is immune to cold damage but takes double damage from fire unless a saving throw for half damage is allowed. In that case, the creature takes half damage on a success and double damage on a failure.

Water Walk (Su): A rime sprite can walk on water at will.

A chill aura precedes a ghostly apparition. It resembles a elfin humanoid, but its skin is a transparent, icy blue, and its eyes are cold sapphires.

Hoarfrosters are incorporeal fey, born of hatred and ice. They dwell alone or in pairs in the frozen plains and arctic wastelands of the farthest reaches of the fey lands. They live in small caves or underground burrows, preferring small caverns that have no openings, allowing them to drift through the solid matter to enter, while keeping all light and heat outside. They are nocturnal creatures, choosing to stay inside during the bright hours of day. They are most active and dangerous at dusk, when their vision is sharpest. They feel no hunger or thirst, and will not die from natural causes.

Averaging around 5 feet in height, hoarfrosters appear to be humanoid in form. Created only by another hoarfroster's attack, they resemble their corporeal shapes in life. Hoarfrosters do not speak.

Combat

Hoarfrosters operate on basic instinct, thinking only to protect their territory from anything warm or warm-blooded, including almost all living creatures. They especially target anyone carrying a torch or other open flame.

Chilling Breath (Su): 30-ft. cone, every 2d6 rounds, 6d6 cold, Reflex DC 20 half. The DC is Constitution-based.

Consuming Cold (Su): Supernatural disease -- touch, Fortitude DC 20, incubation period 1 minute; damage 1d4 Con and 1d4 Str. The save DC is Constitution-based.

Unlike normal diseases, consuming cold continues until the victim reaches Constitution 0 (and dies) or is cured. An afflicted fey that dies of consuming cold becomes a hoarfroster a year and a day after death. Other creatures simply die, and their bodies slowly disintegrate over the next year, along with any clothing or items touching the body.

During the metamorphosis, a fey creature lies dead, but all of the creature's hair or fur gradually fades to white, while its skin changes to an icy blue hue. A hoarfroster retains its basic facial features, but all previous memories, thoughts and skills are completely gone and can never be regained. Any clothing or items touching the creature turn to dust.

Fatiguing Touch (Su): A hoarfroster's touch is tiring. A victim touched by it must make a DC 21 Fortitude save or become fatigued. A creature already fatigued becomes exhausted. The save is Charisma-based.

Incorporeal Traits: A hoarfroster is harmed only by other incorporeal creatures, magic weapons, spells, spell-like abilities, and supernatural abilities. It has a 50% chance to ignore any damage from a corporeal source, except for force effects or attacks made with ghost touch weapons. It can pass through solid objects, but not force effects, at will. Its attacks ignore natural armor, armor, and shields, but deflection bonuses and force effects work normally against them. An incorporeal creature always moves silently and cannot be heard with Listen checks if it doesn't wish to be.

Shapeshifting (Su): Shifting between forms is a full-round action for the Beast of Malar; the shift becomes complete at the start of its subsequent action. Every time the beast shifts shape, it can heal up to its normal daily resting rate of damage, 9 points. Note that this allows the beast to heal even lethal damage that it cannot normally regenerate. Beasts of Malar frequently fail to take full advantage of this fact by fighting to the death instead of running off to recover and then attack again.

Regeneration (Ex): A Beast of Malar regenerates 6 points of damage per round. Divine magic and blessed weapons inflict lethal damage on the Beast of Malar.

Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, the Beast of Malar must hit with its bite attack. It is useable against Small and smaller foes.

Pounce (Ex): If a Beast of Malar in panther form charges a foe, it can make a full attack, including two rake attacks.
 
Rake (Ex): A panther that gets a hold can make two rake attacks (+15 melee) with its hind legs for 1d4+1 points of damage each. If the panther pounces on an opponent, it can also rake.

   This humanoid is messily bisected by a division of boiling flesh running from the tip of its skull down its face, chest, and groin. It is as though one creature has been formed from two halves—one living and one dead. The line where the two meet churns with liquefying flesh, as unholy life constantly fights against necrosis, giving rise to a smell too ghastly to describe. The living half is hunched and emaciated, while the dead half is partially skeletal and rotted.
    Though the animated dead flesh of a dolghast resembles an undead creature in many ways, these creatures are not undead, and they are not subject to turning.
   Dolghasts live pain-filled lives filled with rage and sorrow at their constantly decaying forms. That rage is typically channeled into serving cults of Hel, sometimes being sent on missions for higher-ranking servants of Hel.
   Dolghasts speak the same dialect of Common as their creators (Geat) and Undercommon.

Combat
While its living side is lithe and agile, hinting at its graceful extraplanar origins, a dolghast’s dead side is ungainly and shuffling, giving the creature a lurching demeanor. Dolghasts have learned to live with their deformities, though, and can use their half-dead strength to great advantage.
Dolghasts rarely use weapons or armor, though they are capable of doing so.
Dissolution (Ex): If a dolghast hits with both claw attacks, a living opponent must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or its flesh begins to boil away. The target takes 1d4 points of Constitution damage and is stunned for 1 round. On a successful save, the target takes only 1 point of Constitution damage and is not stunned. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Stench (Ex): The fracture line bisecting a dolghast’s living half from its dead half roils with rot and putrescence, as the dead half constantly seeks to overcome the living half’s healing power. The stench is overwhelming, and living creatures within 10 feet must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or be sickened for 1d6+4 minutes. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same dolghast’s stench for 24 hours. A delay poison or neutralize poison spell removes the effect from a sickened creature. Creatures with immunity to poison are unaffected, and creatures resistant to poison receive their normal bonus on their saving throws. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Half-Dead (Ex): Half-dead creatures are aberrations, in that they share some of the traits of both living and undead creatures (though they cannot be turned as undead). Half-dead creatures have the following traits (in addition to the normal aberration traits):
 —Immunity to fatigue, exhaustion, poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, and death effects.
 —50% chance to ignore the extra damage dealt by a critical hit or sneak attack.
 —A half-dead creature can be healed by both negative energy (such as from an inflict spell) and positive energy (such as from a cure spell), but only if it successfully saves against the spell (using the spell’s normal DC). If the save fails, the spell deals damage as if the half-dead creature were living (for inflict spells) or undead (for cure spells).

Dissolution (Ex): If a dolghast hits with both claw attacks, a living opponent must succeed on a DC 17 Fortitude save or its flesh begins to boil away. The target takes 1d4 points of Constitution damage and is stunned for 1 round. On a successful save, the target takes only 1 point of Constitution damage and is not stunned. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Stench (Ex): The fracture line bisecting a dolghast’s living half from its dead half roils with rot and putrescence, as the dead half constantly seeks to overcome the living half’s healing power. The stench is overwhelming, and living creatures within 10 feet must succeed on a DC 17 Fortitude save or be sickened for 1d6+4 minutes. A creature that successfully saves cannot be affected again by the same dolghast’s stench for 24 hours. A delay poison or neutralize poison spell removes the effect from a sickened creature. Creatures with immunity to poison are unaffected, and creatures resistant to poison receive their normal bonus on their saving throws. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Half-Dead (Ex): Half-dead creatures are aberrations, in that they share some of the traits of both living and undead creatures (though they cannot be turned as undead). Half-dead creatures have the following traits (in addition to the normal aberration traits):
 —Immunity to fatigue, exhaustion, poison, sleep effects, paralysis, stunning, disease, and death effects.
 —50% chance to ignore the extra damage dealt by a critical hit or sneak attack.
 —A half-dead creature can be healed by both negative energy (such as from an inflict spell) and positive energy (such as from a cure spell), but only if it successfully saves against the spell (using the spell’s normal DC). If the save fails, the spell deals damage as if the half-dead creature were living (for inflict spells) or undead (for cure spells).

Spells: Casts spells as a 6th level Sorcerer.  CL 6th, Save DC's 14+spell level.

Rock Throwing (Ex): Like giants, skullcrusher ogres are accomplished rock throwers and gain a +1 racial bonus on attack rolls when throwing rocks.  A skullcrusher ogre can hurl rocks of 40 to 50 pounds (Small objects) up to five range increments.  The range increment is 100 feet for a skullcrusher ogre’s rocks.
Mighty Rock Throwing (Ex): A war hulk gains a powerful rock throwing ability. The character can throw rocks that deal 2d8 points of damage with a range increment of 50 feet. (Like all thrown weapons, they have a maximum range of five range increments.) The war hulk uses his Strength modifier instead of his Dexterity modifier on the attack roll. The rock must weigh approximately 50 pounds.
Great Swing (Ex): A war hulk is able to make a great, sweeping swing with a melee weapon.  As a full-round action, the war hulk can choose three squares adjacent to one another (he must threaten all of them).  His attack applies to all creatures in those squares.  Make one attack roll and apply that roll as an attack against each defender.  If the war hulk uses a special attack (such as disarm, trip, or sunder), this special attack affects only the first target; the other creatures are attacked normally.
   Walls and similar obstacles can block a great swing. Start with one square that the war hulk threatens. Each successive square chosen must be adjacent to the previous square and have line of effect from that square. Two squares separated by a wall, for instance, can’t be chosen as adjacent squares for a great swing.
   The war hulk may skip creatures, attacking only those he wants to. For example, if there are three creatures in a row—an enemy, an ally, and another enemy—the war hulk can choose those three squares for the great swing but strike only the two enemies.
   If a war hulk drops one of his foes with a great swing, he may make a cleave attack normally. However, he may do so only once for every time he swings, even if he drops more than one foe.

This hunched creature has a single huge eye that dominates its entire face. Its body is bloated and  misshapen, and its limbs are wiry but strong. Its arms end in claws that reach the ground as it moves in an awkward hop.
Nothics are twisted aberrations that live in deep subterranean caves and ruins, feasting on the flesh of any living creature they can catch.
Half-troll nothics speak Giant in hoarse, wheezing voices.
Combat
A nothic’s claws are weak, and it is not exceptionally fast. Since it’s perfectly happy eating carrion, it relies on its gaze to disable victims before moving in for a meal.
Fast Healing (Ex): A half-troll heals 5 points of damage each round so long as it has at least 1 hit point.  Fast healing does not restore hit points lost from starvation, thirst, or suffocation, and it does not allow a half-troll to regrow or reattach lost body parts.
Flesh-Rotting Gaze (Su): Deals 1d6 damage, 30 feet, Will DC 19 negates.  The save DC is Constitution-based.
Rend (Ex): If a half-troll nothic hits with both claw attacks, it latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh.  The attack automatically deals an additional 2d4+10 points of damage.
Scent (Ex): Detect within 30 ft (upwind 60 ft, downwind 15 ft). Note direction as a move action. Pinpoint within 5 ft.

Flesh-Rotting Gaze (Su): Deals 1d6 damage, 30 feet, Will DC 19 negates.  The save DC is Constitution-based.
Regeneration (Ex): This troll has Regeneration 1. Fire and acid deal normal damage to a Half-Troll-Blooded Nothic. If a it loses a limb or body part, the lost portion regrows in 3d6 days. The creature can reattach the severed member as a full-round action by holding it to the stump.  Regeneration interacts with Fast Healing in such a way that it effectively gives the Troll-Blooded Nothic Regeneration 6 until all nonlethal damage has been healed.  At that point the regeneration stops, and the fast healing heals the fire and acid damage.
Rend (Ex): If a half-troll nothic hits with both claw attacks, it latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh.  The attack automatically deals an additional 2d4+10 points of damage.
Scent (Ex): Detect within 30 ft (upwind 60 ft, downwind 15 ft). Note direction as a move action. Pinpoint within 5 ft.

Ettings are about 13 feet tall and weigh 5,200 pounds.

Ettins have no language of their own but speak a pidgin of Orc, Goblin, and Giant. Creatures that can speak any of these languages must succeed on a DC 15 Intelligence check to communicate with an ettin. Check once for each bit of information: If the other creature speaks two of these languages, the DC is 10, and for someone who speaks all three, the DC is 5.

Superior Two-Weapon Fighting (Ex):  An ettin fight with a morningstar or javelin in each hand.  Because each of its two heads controls an arm, the ettin does not take a penalty on attack or damage rolls for attack with two weapons.

Skills: An ettin’s two heads give it a +2 racial bonus on Listen, Spot, and Search checks.

This hulking creature has thick, gray skin and the rough features of a troll. Its hunched, apelike posture emphasizes its massive bulk and hints at the power of its huge fists. The massive mountain trolls are the largest members of the troll family. They dwell near mountain peaks and stir from their lairs only to gather food. Like other trolls, mountain trolls have voracious appetites.
 Mountain trolls are rarely encountered alone. Brutes and bullies, they casually push around giants, ogres, and smaller trolls. Although giants and ogres make reluctant minions at best, the slow-thinking mountain trolls simply eat any creatures that fail to follow their simplistic commands. A typical mountain troll stands 17 feet tall and weighs 2 tons.
 Mountain trolls speak Giant.

COMBAT
Mountain trolls have no concept of fear or caution. When they see something they want (typically something that they want to eat), they take it. If anything or anyone gets in their way, they smash it.  A mountain troll normally attacks using its Power
Attack feat, taking a –5 penalty on its attack rolls and gaining a +5 bonus on damage rolls (+10 if using a greatclub).
Amphibious: An amphibious creature can breathe air and water equally well.
Knockdown (Ex): A mountain troll that hits with a weapon or claw attack can attempt to trip the opponent as a free action without making a touch attack or provoking attacks of opportunity. If the attempt fails, the opponent cannot react to trip the
mountain troll.
Stability (Ex): Mountain trolls are exceptionally stable on their feet. A mountain troll has a +4 bonus on ability checks made to resist being bull rushed or tripped when standing on the ground (but not when climbing, flying, riding, or otherwise not tanding
firmly on the ground).
Skills: Mountain trolls can blend in with their mountain surroundings, providing them a +8 racial bonus on Hide checks in the mountains.  An amphibious creature has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. It can move through water at its swim speed without making Swim checks. The creature can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. The creature can use the run action while swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.

SNATCH [General]
Prerequisite:  Size Huge or larger.
Benefits:  The creature can choose to start a grapple when it hits with a claw or bite attack, as though it had the improved grab special attack. If the creature gets a hold on a creature three or more sizes smaller, it squeezes each round for automatic bite or claw damage. A snatched opponent held in the creature’s mouth is not allowed a Reflex save against the creature’s breath weapon, if it has one.
The creature can drop a creature it has snatched as a free action or use a standard action to fling it aside. A flung creature travels 1d6 × 10 feet, and takes 1d6 points of damage per 10 feet traveled. If the creature flings a snatched opponent while flying, the opponent takes this amount or falling damage, whichever is greater.

IMPROVED SNATCH [GENERAL]
Prerequisite:  Snatch.
Benefit: As the Snatch feat, except that you can grab a creature two size categories smaller than you (ie – Medium) with your bite or claw attack.

AWESOME BLOW [General, Fighter]
Prerequisites:  Str 25, Power Attack, Improved Bull Rush, size Large or larger.
Benefit:  As a standard action, the creature may choose to subtract 4 from its melee attack roll and deliver an awesome blow. If the creature hits a corporeal opponent smaller than itself with an awesome blow, its opponent must succeed on a Reflex save (DC = damage dealt) or be knocked flying 10 feet in a direction of the attacking creature’s choice and fall prone. The attacking creature can only push the opponent in a straight line, and the opponent can’t move closer to the attacking creature than the square it started in. If an obstacle prevents the completion of the opponent’s move, the opponent and the obstacle each take 1d6 points of damage, and the opponent stops in the space adjacent to the obstacle.

You've put some effort into this.  There's a horror film based on the Huldra coming out that might be good for background.

I hadn't heard of that.  I'll look into it, thanks.

What can I say?  Norse stuff is my passion.  Running a Norse-themed game keeps me coming back to it with new ideas and stat write-ups.  I don't have absolutely everything in here, but most of it is.

ZOVVUT
Zovvuts are the spawn of some terrible demon prince. The first of them were created during horrible blood rites
centuries ago. Rumors link zovvuts to that master of demons and necromancy known as Orcus, though the
secret of the creatures’ creation has become widely known among the lords of the Abyss. Now zovvuts can be found in many regions of the Abyss as well as on the Material Plane, doing the bidding of anyone powerful enough to intimidate them into obedience.
Zovvuts are often used by demonic agents in conjunction with more combative demons—the latter keep enemies at
bay while the zovvuts’ gaze attacks annihilate them. Zovvuts resent any creature with the power to command them and, like any demons, they constantly seek to undermine and betray authority.
A zovvut is a muscular, pale -skinned, hairless creature of humanoid shape. Its arms end in sharp, barbed claws that
are well designed for rending flesh. Foul, feathered wings stretch upward from the zovvut ’s shoulders. A third eye is
set into the center of its forehead.
Combat
Zovvuts are not afraid of combat. Though weaker than many other demons in terms of combat ability, they rely on their gaze attack to bring their foes to submission.
Draining Gaze (Su): Any living creature within 30 feet of a zovvut that meets its glowing red eyes must succeed at a
Will saving throw (DC 18) or gain one negative level. For each negative level bestowed , the zovvut heals 5 points of damage. If the amount of healing is more than the damage the creature has taken, it gains any excess as temporary hit points. If the negative level has not been removed (with a spell such as restoration) before 24 hours have passed, the afflicted opponent must succeed at a Fortitude save (DC 18) to remove it. Failure means the opponent ’s level (or HD) is reduced by one.
Spell - Like Abilities: At will —clairaudience/clairvoyance, darkness, desecrate, detect good, detect thoughts, doom, suggestion, teleport without error (self plus 50 pounds of objects only). Caster level 12th; save DC 13 + spell level.
Create Spawn (Su) : Any humanoid slain by the zovvut’s gaze attack (negative levels equal to current Hit Dice,
or drained below 1st level) becomes a wight in 1d4 rounds. This creature is under the command of the zovvut that killed it, and it remains enslaved until either it or the zovvut dies. A spawn does not possess any of the abilities it had in life.
Energy Drain (Su): Any living creature struck by a wight's natural attack must succeed on a Fortitude saving
throw (DC 18) or gain two negative levels. For each negative level it bestows, the wight heals 5 points of damage. If the amount of healing is more than the damage the creature has taken, it gains any excess as temporary hit
points. If the negative level has not been removed (with a spell such as restoration) before 24 hours have passed, the afflicted opponent must succeed on a Fortitude save (same DC) to remove it. Failure means the opponent's level (or Hit Dice) is reduced by one.
Create Spawn (Su): Any humanoid slain by a wight rises as a wight in 1d4 rounds. Such a spawn is under the command of the wight that created it and remains enslaved until its master's death. The spawn does not possess any of the abilities it had in life but gains the wight template. A wight can control a number of spawn equal to its HD × 2. If it creates a spawn that causes it to exceed this limit, the spawn longest under its control is released.
Undead Trails: A wight is immune to mind-affecting effects, poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death
effects, necromantic effects, and any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless it also works on objects. It is not subject to critical hits, subdual damage, ability damage, ability drain, energy drain, or death from massive damage. A wight cannot be raised, and resurrection works only if it is willing. The creature has darkvision (60-foot range).

A protean scourge strikes from the shadows, using its magic to lead its opponents into traps or separate them into easily slaughtered smaller groups. Once it is ready to strike, a protean scourge uses its claws or its scythe and horns to gouge a foe. A protean scourge’s deadliest surprise only becomes apparent when it has been damaged in battle: It splits into two protean scourges, each one with the strength and capabilities of a normal protean scourge. Many an unknowing foe has seen a protean scourge use this ability and assumed it to be some other illusion, only to learn too late how real the double really is.
Spells: Protean scourges cast spells as 8th-level sorcerers. They generally favor illusion and transmutation magic over other schools.
Typical Sorcerer Spells Known (6/7/7/6/3):
0—acid splash (+17 ranged touch), dancing lights, daze (DC 13), detect magic, ghost sound (DC 13), mage hand, open/close, prestidigitation;
1st—charm person (DC 14), color spray (DC 14), mage armor, ray of enfeeblement (+17 ranged touch),
ventriloquism (DC 14);
2nd—mirror image, scorching ray (+17 ranged touch), spider climb;
3rd—displacement, haste;
4th—greater invisibility.
Split (Su): When damaged, a protean scourge splits into two identical versions of itself. This ability is not an illusion; each new protean scourge is fully capable of dealing real damage and poses a real threat. Each version of the protean scourge has all the current statistics and access to all the current abilities of a single creature, including any remaining uncast spells. However, any spells cast by either split protean scourge come from the total pool of remaining available spells. So, the two versions share access to remaining spells; each does not get its own spell list or spells per day. Neither half of the protean scourge can change shape as long as the creature remains split.
Each version has the protean scourge’s current hit point total (they do not split remaining hit points), and both versions of the protean scourge must be slain to kill the creature.
The split protean scourges can recombine into a single creature in a process that takes 1 minute. While it recombines, the protean scourge is helpless.
Change Shape (Su): A protean scourge can assume the shape of any Medium human oid. In humanoid form,
a protean scourge loses its natural attacks. A protean scourge can remain in its humanoid form until it chooses to assume a new one. A change in form cannot be dispelled, but a protean scourge reverts to its natural form when killed. A true seeing spell or ability reveals its natural form.
Skills: A protean scourge has a +8 racial bonus on Climb checks and can always take 10 on Climb checks, even when rushed or threatened. Protean scourges also have a +4 racial bonus on Bluff, Disguise, Intimidate, Listen, and Spot checks.
*When using its change shape ability, a protean scourge gets an additional +10 circumstance bonus on Disguise checks.

Wild Empathy: 1d20+12 to influence an animal as with a Diplomacy check.  Must be within 30 feet, and takes 1 minute under normal conditions.
Chastise Spirits (Su): 6/day. Standard action deals 9d6 damage to all spirits within 30 feet, Will DC 22 half.  No miss chance versus incorporeal.
(All incorporeal creatures, all fey, all elementals, creatures in astral form, creatures of the spirit subtype, spirit folk and telthors, spirit creatures created by spells [wood wose])
Detect Spirits: as Detect Undead (but vs Spirit Creatures) useable at will.
Blessings of the Spirits: Performing this special rite takes 10 minutes of meditation.  It wards the spirit shaman as with Protection from Evil, except it protects against spirits and lasts until it is dismissed or dispelled.  If it is dispelled, the spirit shaman can recreate it again simply by meditating 10 minutes.
Follow the Guide: If affected by an enchantment spell or effect and fails his saving throw, he can attempt it again 1 round later at the same DC.  She only gets this one extra chance to succeed.
Ghost Warrior: The spirit shaman confers the ghost touch ability to any weapon she holds for as long as she holds it.  He can also use his full AC (not just his touch AC) against attacks from incorporeal creatures.
Warding of the Spirits: Once per day, perform a special rite that takes 1 minute.  It lasts 90 minutes, and functions like Magic Circle Against Evil, except it protects against spirits.
Spirit Form:  Once per day the spirit shaman can make himself incorporeal for up to 1 minute.  He gains all the advantages of the incorporeal subtype, including immunity to all nonmagical attack forms, a 50% chance to ignore damage from any corporeal source, and the ability to enter or pass through solid objects.  He loses any armor or natural armor to AC, but gains a deflection bonus equal to his Charisma modifier (+3).  AC: 16, touch 16, flat-footed 12
He has no Strength score against corporeal creatures or objects and cannot make physical attacks against them, but gains the ability to make melee touch attacks (+19) that deals 1d6 points of damage.  This effect is treated as a +1 weapon for overcoming damage reduction.

Scrolls:  Freedom of Movement, Heart of Air x2, Heart of Water x2, Heart of Earth x2, Heart of Fire x2, Protection from Energy (Acid, Cold, Electricity, Fire), Greater Stone Shape (100 cu ft),

Languages: Common (Rashemi) and Grimlock (a bastardized version of Giant)

Blindsight (Ex):  Grimlocks can sense all foes within 40 feet as a sighted creature would. Beyond that range, they treat all targets as having total concealment.
Grimlocks are susceptible to sound- and scent-based attacks, however, and are affected normally by loud noises and sonic spells (such as ghost sound or silence) and overpowering odors (such as stinking cloud or incense-heavy air). Negating a grimlock’s sense of smell or hearing reduces this ability to normal Blind-Fight (as the feat). If both these senses are negated, a grimlock is effectively blinded.
Immunities:  Grimlocks are immune to gaze attacks, visual effects, illusions, and other attack forms that rely on sight.
Skills:  *A grimlock’s dull gray skin helps it hide in its native terrain, conferring a +10 racial bonus on Hide checks when in mountains or underground.

Blind-Fight [General]: Benefit:  In melee, every time you miss because of concealment, you can reroll your miss chance percentile roll one time to see if you actually hit.
An invisible attacker gets no advantages related to hitting you in melee. That is, you don’t lose your Dexterity bonus to Armor Class, and the attacker doesn’t get the usual +2 bonus for being invisible. The invisible attacker’s bonuses do still apply for ranged attacks, however.
You take only half the usual penalty to speed for being unable to see. Darkness and poor visibility in general reduces your speed to three-quarters normal, instead of one-half.
Normal:  Regular attack roll modifiers for invisible attackers trying to hit you apply, and you lose your Dexterity bonus to AC. The speed reduction for darkness and poor visibility also applies.
Special:  The Blind-Fight feat is of no use against a character who is the subject of a blink spell.

Just saw the Bestiary of Krynn for the first time.  The Huldrefolk in that book were a disappointment (being nothing like Norse Huldre Folk), but it did have this interesting non-regenerating troll.  It would be interesting to use this as a base for Woodling Mewling Trolls (CR 13) and Mineral Warrior Mewling Trolls (CR 12) - may want to utilize the Primordial Giant template to keep its intelligence above 2...

This is is a hunched, repulsive creature covered in green fur matted with vegetation. It has large, sad, black eyes and ram-like horns. Whimpering mewling sounds emanate from it.

Babble (Su):  A mewling troll mutters and whines to itself,creating a hypnotic effect. All sane creatures within 60 feet of the mewling troll must succeed on a DC 19 Will save or be affected as though by a hypnotism spell for 2d4 rounds. This is a sonic mind-affecting compulsion effect. Creatures that successfully save cannot be affected by the same mewling troll’s babble for 24hours. This is a continuous ability the mewling troll can suppress. The save DC is Charisma-based.

Pounce (Ex):  If a mewling troll charges a foe, it can make a full attack.

Rend (Ex):  If a mewling troll hits with both claw attacks, it latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an additional 2d6+15 damage.

Skills:  A mewling troll has a +3 racial bonus on all Listen, Spot, and Survival checks, as well as a +12 competence bonus on any Hide checks made within a forested area.

Mewling trolls are clever creatures that use their natural camouflage to hide in forests and surprise their foes. The coat of a mewling troll is a mossy hue of green that’s often entangled with vines and leaves that have matted into its hide. Ram-like horns grow from the sides of its head, and its nose is a large brown tuberous-like growth.  They are extremely bulky; a mewling troll will reduce the stress on its body by loping along all fours as comfortably as it moves on two legs, though it always prefers a bipedal position when in combat.  Unlike common trolls, mewlings possess no regenerative capabilities, although they are just as fearsome and malicious in combat when pressed. Mewlings also contrast with other trolls as they are far less likely to be wholly wicked, a fact that has led to the surprise of a community upon seeing a child delivered from harm’s way by a mewling troll. Because mewling trolls lack the regenerative abilities of a true troll, scholars often debate the origins of the mewlings, and a few even doubt that they are related to trolls (and by proxy ogres) at all.  Mewling trolls are 15 feet tall and weigh about 1,500 pounds.  Mewling trolls speak no languages.  The only  vocalizations they make are wild gibbering akin to a madman speaking to himself. When in combat, they are able to fly into a flurry of incomprehensibility that affects the minds of their foes.

Strategies and Tactics
A mewling troll prefers to wait in hiding, passing itself off as part of the scenery until its prey moves in close. It will then pounce from hiding and physically engage its enemies while babbling.

Also interesting from that book are the Haorti and the Tylor, as examples of wingless dragons.

There are also some stats for deer, elk, and moose.  It will be interesting to compare these stats to those in Silver Marches.  The Huldrefolk are also interesting, and could be useful in some other way (seelie court?)

The desolation giant would also be a decent troll (CR 7, pounce and rend, no regen).

The Daemonlord is also interesting.  Somewhat like a Mur-zhagul in it's abilities, though much more powerful.

These creatures are enigmatic in the extreme. Outside of the fact that they covet magic items, little is known about them. Most encounters with spell weavers occur when they attempt to purloin magic items from other creatures.

   A spell weaver is a scrawny, hairless, six-armed creature about 5 feet tall. It is humanoid in shape, with a vaguely birdlike face and large, dark eyes. A long neck allows it to twist and turn its face in any direction.

   Usually only one spell weaver is encountered at a time, but occasionally these monsters organize themselves into a raiding party to seize a particular item. Such a raid is extremely well planned and is usually the result of months of investigation conducted through a combination of scrying and simple spying—an activity made easier by the spell weaver’s invisibility power.

   Spell weavers do not communicate with anyone except their own kind.  This means, of course, that no one has ever had a meaningful conversation with a spell weaver, so nothing is known about the background, motivations, or society of these creatures other than what their actions reveal. Occasionally, for reasons that no one else understands, a spell weaver leaves a written note where a humanoid can find it. Such messages are invariably rambling and often completely incoherent, so they usually raise more questions than they answer.

   Spell weavers do not speak, but they can communicate with one another telepathically across a distance of 1,000 miles.

COMBAT
A spell weaver is pathetically weak in melee but powerful in magic. Its ability to cast multiple spells simultaneously makes it a dangerous opponent indeed. A spell weaver usually remains invisible until it is ready to attack, then uses plane shift to escape, hopefully in possession of the magic item for which it came.

Spell-Like Abilities: Always active—see invisiblity; at will—detect magic, invisibility; 1/day—plane shift. Caster level equals spell weaver’s effective sorcerer level; save DC 14 + spell level.
3/day - Darkness, poison; 1/day - desecrate, unholy blight, contagion. Caster level equals HD; save DC 14 + spell level.

Spells: A spell weaver casts spells as a sorcerer two levels higher than its Hit Dice. (That is, a spell weaver with 10 Hit Dice casts spells as a 12th-level sorcerer; spells known 9/5/5/4/3/2/1; spells/day 6/7/7/7/7/5/3; save DC 14 +spell level, or 16 + spell level for Abjuration and Evocation spells.) A spell weaver prefers combinations of spells that focus on attacks, defense, and transportation.

Spells Known:
(6) 0-mage hand, read magic, dancing lights, ghost sound, open/close, prestidigitation, mending, acid splash, arcane mark;
(7) 1st- mage armor, shield, magic missile, feather fall, babau slime;
(7) 2nd- mirror image, web, ray of stupidity, scorching ray, resist energy;
(7) 3rd- displacement, dispel magic, stinking cloud, ray of exhaustion;
(7) 4th- dimension door, enervation, polymorph other;
(5) 5th- true haste, cloudkill;
(3) 6th- disintegrate;

Chromatic Disk: A spell weaver is never without its chromatic disk. This 6-inch-diameter indestructible disk glows with colors that slowly shift through the spectrum. This object stores ten additional spell levels of energy that the creature can tap and use as it wishes—the spell weaver could, for example, cast two extra 5th-level spells in a day, or three 3rd-level spells and one 1st-level spell, or any other combination of extra spell levels that adds up to ten, so long as no single spell is higher than 5th level. (For this purpose, two 0-level spells are equivalent to one 1st-level spell.) To tap this spell energy, a spell weaver must hold the chromatic disk in at least one of its hands. The disk automatically recharges itself to full power every night, at midnight. A spell powered by the disk is cast as though the caster had the Spell Focus feat for the spell in question.

   Only a spell weaver can utilize a chromatic disk. Should any other creature pick one up and try to tap its energy (by employing the Use Magic Device skill, for instance), it explodes, dealing 4d10 points of damage to everything within a 30-foot radius.

Fearless (Ex): Loki-touched creatures have immunity to all fear effects.

Immunity to Mind-Affecting Effects:  Because its alien mind functions differently than those of other creatures, a spell weaver is immune to all mind-affecting spells and effects.

Shielded Mind (Ex): Attempts by creatures of other races to communicate telepathically with a spell weaver, or to read its mind, always fail. A creature making such an attempt must succeed at a Will save (DC 19) or be affected as if by a confusion spell (caster level equals spell weaver’s effective sorcerer level) for 1d6 days. This effect can be dispelled or removed with a heal effect.

Smite Good (Su): Once per day a half-fiend spell weaver can make a normal melee attack to deal +10 extra damage against a good foe.

Spell Weaving (Ex): These monsters are infamous for their ability to cast more than one spell at a time. Casting a spell occupies a number of the spell weaver’s arms equal to the spell’s level (maximum 6th). A spell weaver can cast more than one spell simultaneously, as long as the sum of the spell levels is six or less. It could, for example, cast one 6th-level spell, one 4th-level and one 2nd level spell, one 3rd-level and three 1st-level spells, six 1st level spells, or any combination of spells whose levels add up to six or less. (A single 0-level spell occupies one arm.)

Telepathy (Su): Spell weavers can communicate with each other telepathically at a range of up to 1,000 miles.

Dressed in tattered white furs, this horrible old woman has icy white skin and talonlike hands.
Her face is hideously ugly, and her bright blue eyes gleam with malice.

This winter hag is the personification of death and winter. She almost always appears as an old woman with a crooked back and clawlike hands, dressed in white furs and robes. Many peasants believe that if they can trick a marzanna, they can avoid death itself. This is only partly true — the offerings that they leave for a marzanna do prolong their lives, but only because their bribes convince the marzanna not to kill and devour them.
Like other hags, a marzanna enjoys the taste of human flesh, and often cooperates with frost giants, frost folk, and ogres. A typical marzanna stands 6 to 8 feet tall and weighs between 250 and 300 pounds. Their stooped posture makes marzannas seem slightly smaller than they really are, but their marble-white skin and dark brown claws are clear signs that they are not human. They typically dress in ragged layers of poorly cured furs, tattered robes, and worn shawls.
Like all hags, marzannas speak Common and Giant.

COMBAT
A marzanna prefers not to fight if she can convince others to give up without a fight, or if she can convince others to
do her fighting for her.
Dreadful Eye (Su): Three times per day a marzanna can cast her dire gaze upon any single creature within 30 feet. The target must succeed on a DC 15 Will save or become panicked for 10 rounds. Creatures that are panicked by a marzanna’s dreadful eye must succeed on a DC 15 Fortitude save or die from fright. This is a mind-affecting fear effect. The save DC is Charisma-based.
Rend (Ex): A marzanna that hits with both claw attacks latches onto the opponent’s body and tears the flesh. This attack automatically deals an extra 2d6+7 points of damage.
Spell-Like Abilities: At will—dancing lights, ghost sound (DC 11), obscuring snow, pass without trace, ray of frost (+9 ranged touch); 3/day—alter self, bestow curse (+13 melee touch; DC 15), numbing sphere (DC 13), and wall of ice (DC 15); 1/day—ice storm; 1/week—control weather, nightmare (DC 16). Caster level 8th.

This bloated, fishlike humanoid has a scaly body of silver-gray. Its arms and legs are thin and small for its size, but its gaping maw looks big enough to swallow a horse.
A kuo-toa leviathan spends almost all its time in water, maneuvering slowly with its flipperlike feet. It feeds on nearly any sea creature it can catch, including unwary kuo-toas. A kuo-toa leviathan stands roughly 20 feet tall and weighs about 10 tons. A wide mouth filled with multiple rows of needle-sharp teeth features prominently in its fishlike head. Its limbs are long and spindly, and its hands and feet are flat and webbed.
Kuo-toa leviathans are created from exceptionally gifted monitors or whips by Blibdoolpoolp herself. The kuo-toas venerate and respect leviathans, and many dream of attaining such high regard in the Sea Mother’s eyes. Few besides the most highly placed kuo-toas ever have the honor (or horror) of actually meeting a kuo-toa leviathan.
Kuo-toa leviathans speak Kuo-Toan and Aquan.
Combat
Kuo-toa leviathans usually stay in deep water, where they’re most maneuverable. Their forays onto land are rare and
prompted only by the most extreme of situations. Wherever they fight, kuo-toa leviathans use their enclave of regular kuo-toas, monitors, and whips to swarm intruders. While the opponents are fighting off the horde of kuo-toas, the leviathan is free to focus on dispatching one foe at a time.
Improved Grab (Ex): If a kuo-toa leviathan hits an opponent of its own size category or smaller with its bite attack, it deals normal damage and attempts to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity (grapple bonus +34). If it gets a hold, it can attempt to swallow the foe in the next round.
Stun (Ex): Five times per day, a kuo-toa leviathan can attempt to stun its opponent on an attack with one of its natural weapons. If the opponent fails a DC 22 Fortitude save, it is stunned for 1 round in addition to taking normal damage from the attack. The save DC is Wisdom-based.
Swallow Whole (Ex): A kuo-toa leviathan can try to swallow a Large or smaller opponent it has grabbed by
making a successful grapple check. Once inside, the opponent takes 2d8+12 points of crushing damage plus 2d6 points of acid damage per round from the kuo-toa leviathan’s digestive juices. A swallowed creature can cut its way out by using a light slashing or piercing weapon to deal at least 25 points of damage to the kuo-toa leviathan’s digestive tract (AC 20). Once the creature exits, muscular action closes the hole, so another swallowed opponent must cut its own way out.
A kuo-toa leviathan’s interior can hold 2 Large, 4 Medium, 8 Small, 32 Tiny, 128 Diminutive, or 512 Fine or smaller opponents.
Amphibious (Ex): Although kuo-toa leviathans breathe by means of gills, they can survive indefinitely on land.
Immunities (Ex): A kuo-toa leviathan is immune to poison and paralysis. The various hold spells also have no effect on it, and its keen sight automatically detects figments for what they are.
Improved Evasion (Ex): When subjected to an attack that normally allows a Reflex saving throw for half damage, a kuo-toa leviathan takes no damage if it makes a successful saving throw and half damage even if the saving throw fails.
Keen Sight (Ex): A kuo-toa leviathan has excellent vision thanks to its two independently focusing eyes. Its eyesight is so keen that it can spot a moving object or creature even if it is invisible or ethereal. Only by remaining perfectly still can such objects or creatures avoid the leviathan’s notice.
Light Blindness (Ex): Abrupt exposure to bright light (such as sunlight or a daylight spell) blinds a kuo-toa leviathan for 1 round. In addition, the creature is dazzled while operating in bright light.
Sea Mother Blessing (Ex): A kuo-toa leviathan has a sixth sense that allows it to avoid blows. The creature gains a bonus to its Armor Class equal to its Wisdom bonus. This bonus applies even against touch attacks or when the leviathan is flatfooted. It loses this bonus only when it is immobilized or helpless.
Slippery (Ex): A kuo-toa leviathan secretes an oily film that makes it difficult to grapple or snare. Webs, magic or otherwise, don’t affect the kuo-toa leviathan, and it can usually wriggle free from most other forms of confinement.
Uncanny Dodge (Ex): A kuo-toa leviathan retains its Dexterity bonus to AC, even when caught flat-footed or struck by an invisible attacker.
Skills: A kuo-toa leviathan receives a +8 racial bonus on Escape Artist checks and a +4 racial bonus on Spot and Search checks. It has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim check made to perform some special action or avoid a hazard. A kuo-toa leviathan can always choose to take 10 on a Swim check, even if distracted or endangered. It can use the run action while swimming, provided that it swims in a straight line.

   A bheur hag is a creature unique to Rashemen, capable of bringing winter's chill to any place in the land. Hideous and wrinkled, they love the taste of human flesh.
   A bheur hag (often just called a bheur) resembles a hideous old crone with blue-white skin and white hair, dressed in a ragged shawl. Her hands are flecked with dried blood, and she usually carries a gnarled gray wooden staff. Evil and hateful of life, a bheur lives to bring misery and freezing death to as many people as she can. Powerful and malevolent, she sometimes enlists the aid of orglashs to help her smite folk with terrible cold. Some legends hold that there is only one bheur, for no more than one has been seen at a time, but it is likely that these are merely solitary members of a race of hags. Every year the hathrans battle a bheur as spring approaches, finally driving her off and heralding spring's arrival, but every year the fight is enacted again.
   Bheurs speak Auran, Giant, and Rashemi.

Combat
   A bheur normally uses cone of cold on opponents to see if they are affected by cold attacks. Those that appear wounded from this attack are likely to be the targets of it again, while those that appear immune to cold are attacked with ice storm or melee attacks. Bheurs prefer to retreat from dangerous opponents rather than fight to the death, and often employ ambushes to destroy opponents that have driven them away before, using their great maneuverability to lure enemies into deadfalls and snowdrifts from which they cannot escape.
   Acid and Electricity Vulnerability: Bheurs take half again as much (+50%) damage as normal from acid and electricity, regardless of whether a saving throw is allowed, or if the save is a success or failure.
   Graystaff Focus (Sp): A bheur's wooden staff has no magical properties of its own, but acts as a focus for the following spell-like abilities of the bheur: at will -- hold person, solid fog; 3/day -- cone of cold, ice storm, and wall of ice. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 10th-level sorcerer (save DC 12 + spell level).
   Without her graystaff, the bheur cannot use these spell-like abilities. Creating another graystaff takes the bheur one year of time (as if crafting a magic item, although interrupting the process does not cause the item to be ruined).
   Size Change (Su): A bheur can grow to Large size or return to her normal size as a standard action. When in her Large size, the bheur's AC and attacks decrease by -1 due to size, Strength increases by +8, Dexterity decreases by -2, Constitution increases by +4, natural armor increases to +12, and reach increases to 10 feet. However, her fly speed is reduced to 30 ft. (average), and she can only remain in her Large form for ten minutes per day.
   Maddening Feast (Su): A bheur dines on the bodies of the creatures she slays. As a full-round action, she can totally devour the flesh of a slain or helpless victim, leaving only the bones and equipment. Any creature within 60 feet that views this must make a Will save (DC 17). Those that fail are either permanently blinded (75% chance) or be confused for 2d6 days (25% chance). This is a mind-affecting effect. Although they prefer the flesh of humans, bheurs are willing to eat just about any humanoid creature, livestock, or fish.
   Spell-like Abilities (Sp): At will -- chill metal, ray of frost, Snilloc's snowball swarm. 1/tenday -- control weather. These abilities are as the spells cast by a 10th-level sorcerer (save DC 12 + spell level).

    The Vanir:

Vanaheim is not well-detailed in the Sagas.  Thus, I am treating it like the Faerie Realm from British/Celtic myth.  It is inhabited by Eladrin and Fey, primarily (as well as associated magical beasts, as well as animals, etc.)
The Unseelie Court is largely a mirror of the Eladrin Seelie Court, but with the Shadow Creature template applied (as Vanaheim has a dual nature of material plane and shadow plane).

The Faerie Queen is Morwel (from the BoED), though I need to give her Dreamtelling feat from Heroes of Horror.  Her Shadow Creature counterpart must also have this ability. (And she needs a name...)

Explanation of this can be found here.  And here:

(click to show/hide)

At first I was like, "Not many ways to see the future? Time to look up them Divination spells!" and I got a wonderful glimpse of how not only does  the Divination school lack ways to find the future but the divination school also lacks pretty much everything else. I mean, wow. I started with the PHB and the Spell Compendium, and thereby promised myself never to specialise in Divination because half the time there won't even be a single spell worth preparing in the speciality slot.

With that in mind, here's some spells for you:

Cleric 1/Druid 1: Omen of Peril. Have a chance of predicting whether bad stuff or good stuff with happen in the immediate future. A crappier Augery, basically.
Cleric 2: Augery. More reliable omen-reading.
Cleric 4: Divination. Like Augery, but up to a week.
Cleric 4/Druid 3: Weather eye. Accurately predict weather for up to one week in the future.
Cleric 5: Commune. Contacts a deity for a bit of info, preferably one with lots of ranks and a relevant portfolio.
That's pretty much it for divinations that predict the future, apart from the lame ones that just give you a bonus to AC.

Additionally, there is the Dreamtelling feat from Heroes of Horror which lets you interpret dreams. It gleans information about the future that is equivalent to a Divination or Commune (depending on your skill check), but unlike Commune you're getting info from a prophetic dream rather than a deity so you would not be so dependant on another, more powerful being.

This is probably right up your alley since it is equivalent to a Commune spell and a Commune spell can get that same information that the prophetic deity knows. Thus the Dreamtelling feat can give you a more limited version of that very salient divine ability without any deities or divine ranks involved.

DC 45 Knowledge (The Planes) check, 25 for a hard dream +20 for getting information equivalent to a Commune. The commune you decide its equivalent to is that of communing with a rank 20 deity with a portfolio of everything and a personal interest in giving you what you want. Since no deity is actually being contacted, you need not use a deity that exists in the setting and just give info that is equivalent to what Commune might theoretically grant. That's 7days*20ranks, so your vanir can glean information from their dreams as far as 140 days into the future. In addition, because the theoretical deity can also have the Know Death divine ability, the deaths of any mortal (even if it is farther than 140 days in the future) can similarly be predicted.

Possible idea:  Because merely adding the shadow creature template to a fey or eladrin would make the whole of the Unseelie Court more powerful than the Seelie Court, think about adding the Saint template to all members of the Seelie Court (neither Shadow Creature, nor Saint can technically be applied to Outsiders, so I'm breaking the rule both ways).  This also would alleviate the contradiction of Morwel being an outsider (eladrin) and her daughter Tatiana being a fey.

Very important site: http://creaturecatalog.enworld.org/cc/converted/index.php
(Note: The Creature Catalog has been dead for several years by the point that I'm reposting this thread.)

"Tatiana" - http://creaturecatalog.enworld.org/cc/converted/view_c.php?CreatureID=1415
Note, she is listed as being a Large fey, but the numbers are inconsistent; sometimes the -1 from being Large is applied, sometimes it isn't.  Alter her to Medium.

Also, her armor class from her armor is incorrect.  +5 Elven Chain should provide a +10 bonus to AC, not +9. But, this counteracts the fact they didn't account for her being large (but they did, because they only gave her +3 dex to AC for touch attacks, instead of +4...).  But her attacks are calculated as a medium creature... Need to fix these below... Note that she is described as being of slight stature...
Edit: Her size has been altered to Medium, and is correct through all iterations below.

Lastly, her feats include the Improved Metamagic epic feat, which does nothing for her, as it does not apply to Extend Spell, and as a Sorcerer, she can't actually make use of Quicken Spell (though she has it as a prereq for Automatic Quicken, which does work for a sorcerer).

Also, she should be altered to gain True Haste as a known spell.  The easiest way would be to trade out Improved Metamagic for Extra Spell (though maybe alter one other non-epic feat into an epic feat, as Extra Spell is not epic). -->Drop Baleful Polymorph as a 5th level spell, replace it with True Haste, then drop Command Plants as a 4th level spell, and replace it with Polymorph Other.  Maybe use Extra Spell to reinstate Command Plants...

This beautiful woman has an elven appearance. Although slight of stature, she embodies regality and power with her mere presence. She is adorned in a suit of the finest chainmail, and carries a glittering rapier and shimmering bow.

The Faerie Queen rules the Seelie Court. Her unearthly beauty is legendary, as is her fairness and devotion to her subjects.

she is devoted to her ìchildrenî but is fair to travelers she encountersóso long as they have not mistreated the faerie folk.

The Faerie Queen is the last surviving Sie, the magical progenitor race of both the seelie faeries and elvenkind.

The Faerie Queen considers herself the ultimate protector of the faeries, protecting, nurturing, and punishing them as a mother does her children. Punishment generally results in temporary or permanent banishment from the Seelie Court. Because the love for their queen is so strong, exile is the worst form of punishment imaginable to them.

The Faerie Queen stands 5 feet tall and weighs 70 pounds.

The Faerie Queen speaks Celestial, Common, Draconic, Elven, Gnome, and Sylvan.

COMBAT

The Faerie Queen rarely fights alone, for she is always accompanied by other seelie faeries, who will defend her to the death. She fights alongside her kin, blending her mastery of magic with her prowess with rapier and bow.

Armored Mage (Ex): The Faerie Queen does not have an arcane spell failure chance when wearing light armor.

Seelie Spell of Forgetting (Sp): At will, the Faerie Queen may create up to a 50-foot cube of showering pixie dust. This effect must originate within 150 feet of the Faerie Queen. All creatures within the pixie dust must succeed on a DC 25 Will save or have its memory of time spent among the faeries erased. With a successful save, a creature recalls the faerie encounter as a dream. Failure results in complete memory loss pertaining to the faerie encounter. Should the victim recall anything, the memory is hazy and seems not quite real. The character cannot recollect names, locations, directions, or any other specifics unless the Faerie Queen so desires. For example, the Faerie Queen might cast this spell on a lost traveler to make him or her forget the faerieís name and the location of the Seelie Court, but may allow the character to remember directions to the nearest safe haven.

If the recipient again encounters a faerie or place ìforgottenî as a result of this spell, he or she experiences a sense of deja vu, but does not recall specifics.

The spell does not negate other spell effects resulting from time spent among the faeries (thus, a recipient of a geas would still be under the geas). The character does, however, forget the circumstances and the spellcaster that bound him or her with such magic.

A limited wish, miracle, or wish can restore the lost memories.

This is a mind-affecting, charm effect, and is the equivalent of a 3rd-level spell. The save DC is Charisma-based. Fey are immune to this ability, while elves and druids gain a +4 bonus on their saves.

Spell-Like Abilities: Always activeódetect chaos, detect evil, detect good, detect law; at willóinvisibility (self only). Caster level 36th.

Spells: The Faerie Queen casts spells as a 20th-level sorcerer. The Faerie Queen can also cast cleric spells and those from the Animal, Luck, Plant, and Trickery domains as arcane spells.

Sorcerer Spells Known (6/9/8/8/8/8/7/7/7/7/1/1, save DC 19 + spell level, enchantment spells DC 22 + spell level):
0 (all automatically quickened)ócure minor wounds, daze, dancing lights, detect magic, message, ray of frost, read magic, resistance, virtue;

7th-animal shapes, animate plants, control weather;
8th-irresistible dance, mass charm monster, screen;
9th-mass heal, mass hold monster, shambler.

Unearthly Grace (Su): The Faerie Queen adds her Charisma modifier as a bonus on saving throws, and as a deflection bonus to Armor Class. Included above.

Vulnerability to Salt (Ex): If the Faerie Queen is struck by salt (usually thrown as a splash weapon), she immediately becomes visible and cannot use her invisibilty spell-like ability for 1d4 minutes.

Wild Empathy (Ex): This power works like the druidís wild empathy class feature, except that the Faerie Queen has a +10 racial bonus on the check (and a +4 synergy bonus from her Handle Animal skill ranks).

In Cerilia
In the Birthright setting, the Seelie Court resides in the Shadow World. The Faerie Queen holds the greatest power over the Seeming, for she predates its existence and has had an eternity to master it.

Here she is, corrected as a Medium creature.  Also note they didn't apply deflection to her touch AC, where it's supposed to apply.

Armored Mage (Ex): The Faerie Queen does not have an arcane spell failure chance when wearing light armor.

Holy Power (Su): The save DC's of any and all of a saint's special attacks, including spells as well as spell-like, supernatural, and extraordinary abilities, increase by +2.

Holy Touch (Su): A saint's entire being is suffused with holy power, which likewise flows into any weapon the saint wields.  A saint's melee attacks with any weapon (or unarmed) deal an additional 1d6 points of holy damage against evil creatures, and 1d8 points against evil undead and evil outsiders.  Any evil creature that strikes a saint with a natural weapon takes holy damage as if hit by the saint's attack.

Protective Aura (Su): As a free action, a saint can surround herself with a nimbus of light having a radius of 20 feet. This acts as a double-strength magic circle against evil and as a lesser globe of invulnerability, both as cast by a cleric whose level equals the saint's Hit Dice.

Seelie Spell of Forgetting (Sp): At will, the Faerie Queen may create up to a 50-foot cube of showering pixie dust. This effect must originate within 150 feet of the Faerie Queen. All creatures within the pixie dust must succeed on a DC 29 Will save or have its memory of time spent among the faeries erased. With a successful save, a creature recalls the faerie encounter as a dream. Failure results in complete memory loss pertaining to the faerie encounter.

Tongues (Su): A saint can speak with any creature that has a language, as though using a tongues spell cast by a 14th-level cleric.  This ability is always active.

Spell-Like Abilities: Always active-detect chaos, detect evil, detect good, detect law; at will-invisibility (self only), guidance, resistance, virtue, bless. Caster level 36th.

Spells: The Faerie Queen casts spells as a 20th-level sorcerer. The Faerie Queen can also cast cleric spells and those from the Animal, Luck, Plant, and Trickery domains as arcane spells.

A shadowy, elflike female stands before you. Although not beautiful, her allure is almost overpowering. She wields a wickedly sharp curved blade, and wears form-fitting black chainmail of exceptional quality.

Lussina, The Dark Queen, holds the Unseelie Court in the vise of her will. The daughter of the Faerie Queen, her unimaginable outer beauty did not match her envy and ambition. Jealous of her mother's power, she attempted to usurp the Seelie Court; the Faerie Queen could bear only to exile her own daughter, rather than execute her for her betrayal. Lussina gathered her followers and founded the Unseelie Court to feed her rage.

Lussina has a heart of ice, serving only herself and weighing all decisions only against her own ambition. Despite the loss of her beauty to the corruption of evil, she remains adept at seducing new allies in her war against the Seelie Court, though she favors seduction by appealing to ambition rather than lust. Recently, she has begun to craft an army of constructs to aid her struggle.

The Dark Queen has no mercy, thinking her mother a fool for sparing her life. Indeed, she brooks no dissent, rewarding disloyalty and incompetence alike with instant death. Still, the Unseelie Court continues to grow with exiles from the Seelie Court, undead faeries created in the war, and her own constructs.

Lussina stands 4 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 50 pounds.

The Dark Queen speaks Celestial, Common, Draconic, Elven, Gnome, and Sylvan.

COMBAT

The Dark Queen is a cunning adversary, utilizing all of her magic to her utmost advantage. She is never encountered without followers, and they defend their queen to the death with utmost zeal.

The Dark Queen's +3 keen spell-storing cold iron kukri generally carries a touch of idiocy spell.

Armored Mage (Ex): The Dark Queen does not have an arcane spell failure chance when wearing light armor.

Bane Arrows (Su): Every arrow the Dark Queen fires from her +2 bane composite shortbow becomes the bane of whatever it last struck.

Seelie Spell of Forgetting (Sp): At will, the Dark Queen may create up to a 50-foot cube of showering pixie dust. This effect must originate within 150 feet of the Dark Queen. All creatures within the pixie dust must succeed on a DC 23 Will save or have its memory of time spent among the faeries erased. With a successful save, a creature recalls the faerie encounter as a dream. Failure results in complete memory loss pertaining to the faerie encounter. Should the victim recall anything, the memory is hazy and seems not quite real. The character cannot recollect names, locations, directions, or any other specifics unless the Dark Queen so desires. For example, the Dark Queen might cast this spell on a lost traveler to make him or her forget the faerieís name and the location of the Seelie Court, but may allow the character to remember directions to the nearest safe haven.

If the recipient again encounters a faerie or place "forgotten" as a result of this spell, he or she experiences a sense of deja vu, but does not recall specifics.

A shadowy, elflike female stands before you. Although not beautiful, her allure is almost overpowering. She wields a wickedly sharp curved blade, and wears form-fitting black chainmail of exceptional quality.

Lussina, The Dark Queen, holds the Unseelie Court in the vise of her will. The daughter of the Faerie Queen, her unimaginable outer beauty did not match her envy and ambition. Jealous of her mother's power, she attempted to usurp the Seelie Court; the Faerie Queen could bear only to exile her own daughter, rather than execute her for her betrayal. Lussina gathered her followers and founded the Unseelie Court to feed her rage.

Lussina has a heart of ice, serving only herself and weighing all decisions only against her own ambition. Despite the loss of her beauty to the corruption of evil, she remains adept at seducing new allies in her war against the Seelie Court, though she favors seduction by appealing to ambition rather than lust. Recently, she has begun to craft an army of constructs to aid her struggle.

The Dark Queen has no mercy, thinking her mother a fool for sparing her life. Indeed, she brooks no dissent, rewarding disloyalty and incompetence alike with instant death. Still, the Unseelie Court continues to grow with exiles from the Seelie Court, undead faeries created in the war, and her own constructs.

Lussina stands 4 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 50 pounds.

The Dark Queen speaks Celestial, Common, Draconic, Elven, Gnome, and Sylvan.

COMBAT

The Dark Queen is a cunning adversary, utilizing all of her magic to her utmost advantage. She is never encountered without followers, and they defend their queen to the death with utmost zeal.

The Dark Queen's +3 keen spell-storing cold iron kukri generally carries a touch of idiocy spell.

Armored Mage (Ex): The Dark Queen does not have an arcane spell failure chance when wearing light armor.

Bane Arrows (Su): Every arrow the Dark Queen fires from her +2 bane composite shortbow becomes the bane of whatever it last struck.

Seelie Spell of Forgetting (Sp): At will, the Dark Queen may create up to a 50-foot cube of showering pixie dust. This effect must originate within 150 feet of the Dark Queen. All creatures within the pixie dust must succeed on a DC 23 Will save or have its memory of time spent among the faeries erased. With a successful save, a creature recalls the faerie encounter as a dream. Failure results in complete memory loss pertaining to the faerie encounter. Should the victim recall anything, the memory is hazy and seems not quite real. The character cannot recollect names, locations, directions, or any other specifics unless the Dark Queen so desires. For example, the Dark Queen might cast this spell on a lost traveler to make him or her forget the faerieís name and the location of the Seelie Court, but may allow the character to remember directions to the nearest safe haven.

If the recipient again encounters a faerie or place "forgotten" as a result of this spell, he or she experiences a sense of deja vu, but does not recall specifics.

The spell does not negate other spell effects resulting from time spent among the faeries (thus, a recipient of a geas would still be under the geas). The character does, however, forget the circumstances and the spellcaster that bound him or her with such magic.

A limited wish, miracle, or wish can restore the lost memories.

This is a mind-affecting, charm effect, and is the equivalent of a 3rd-level spell. The save DC is Charisma-based. Fey are immune to this ability, while elves and druids gain a +4 bonus on their saves.

Shadow Blend (Su): In any conditions other than full daylight, a shadow creature can disappear into the shadows, giving it total concealment. Artificial illumination, even a light or continual flame spell, does not negate this ability, but a daylight spell will.

Question:  Does becoming a Saint (and thus becoming an Outsider) increase BAB, BSB's, and skills for racial HD?  The template does not say. [Note to Self - no, it does not alter those things]

   « Last Edit: December 01, 2012, 09:35:06 PM by ksbsnowowl »

Note to self: Think about making Lussina and Tatiana just Shadow and Saint versions of Lussina. The Faerie Queen (who I have named Tatiana) could be their mother (or older sister), with Morwel (and her shadow counterpart) being the "grandmother" as it were.

Give both of these Fey individuals the Eladrin subtype, and make them outsiders.

Also, when templating Morwel and Faerinaal, note that the designers forgot the base 10 of AC - their AC's should all be 10 higher than they are listed as.
And their deflection and insight bonuses are a mess that make no sense at all (same goes for Gwynharwyf).  Either use the values that are listed, or tie Deflection to Charisma, and Insight to Wisdom (though Morwel seems to use Wis for deflection, and Int for insight...)

Skirmish (Ex): A hound of the hunt deals an extra 10d6 points of damage on all attacks made during a round in which it moves at least 10 feet. This extra damage applies only to attacks made on the hound's turn. A hound can deal this extra damage only to living creatures that have a discernible anatomy.
Hunter's Howl (Su): As a free action, a hound of the hunt can release an echoing howl. Those within a 120-foot-radius spread must succeed on a DC 28 Will save or be shaken for 1 minute. A creature that saves cannot be affected by that same hound of the hunt's howl for 24 hours.
Skills: Hounds of the hunt are accomplished hunters that can stalk their prey as silently as a shadow. They have a +8 racial bonus on Hide and Move Silently checks and a +4 racial bonus on Listen and Spot checks.

---------------------------------------------------------
Total Freedom (Su): A master of the hunt acts as if constantly under the effect of a freedom of movement spell. He ignores the maximum Dexterity bonus limitation of any armor he wears.
Moonhunter (Su): Whenever a master of the hunt shoots an arrow while outdoors when the moon is in the sky, the arrow grows to the size of a spear as soon as it is loosed from the bow. These immense arrows deal an extra 20 points of damage to any creature they strike that is outdoors while the moon is in the sky.
Moon Eye (Sp): The moon is the mirrored eye of the Wild Hunt. At will, as a swift action, a master of the hunt can use discern location, as the spell, against any creature outdoors while the moon is in the sky. Caster level 20th.
Selected Prey (Su): Three times per day, as a swift action, a master of the hunt can point to one opponent within 60 feet, marking that foe as selected prey. The selected prey glows with moonlight as if affected by a faerie fire spell. Further, the master of the hunt receives a +5 morale bonus on attack rolls and damage rolls against his selected prey, and all critical threats the master of the hunt scores against the selected prey are automatically confirmed. A master of the hunt can have only one selected prey at a time, and the effect ends when the moon sets.
Summon Mount (Sp): At will, as a swift action, a master of the hunt can use phantom steed as the spell, but he can create a mount only for himself. Caster level 20th.
Shadow Blend (Su): In any conditions other than full daylight, a shadow creature can disappear into the shadows, giving it total concealment.  Artificial illumination, even a light or continual flame spell, does not negate this ability, but a daylight spell will.

A Lolth-Touched Lunar Ravager. 
I'm merely using Lolth-Touched to easily increase its hit points and attack rolls, especially since these are so far under my party's level.
I've always wanted to like the Lunar Ravager, but never did, preferring the Wild Hunter from Expedition to the Demonweb Pits, or the Master of the Hunt from MM5.  I just couldn't reconcile the floating castles that are their homes.  But I can live with their floating castles being present in the night skies of Vanaheim (where they will be mostly unnoticeable).

Originally posted December 07, 2012:

    I was recently wondering how to utilize Slaad as a type of extraplanar troll.  With the help of Phaedrus, I came up with the idea of them being another "bloodline" that was created by the Primordial Troll breeding with a demon.  Either the progeny of that union was then implanted by a Xill (producing Red Slaad instead of Xill), or the union was with a Xill, and created a Half-Troll Xill (the progeny of which have a 50/50 chance of being a half-troll xill or a Red Slaad), I've not yet made up my mind (probably go with the latter).  Regardless, that started the implantation reproductive process of the Red Slaad, and the rest is history.

Here is a Half-Troll Xill.  Note that corrections have been made to his four claw attacks (attack bonuses were wrong).  Also, he becomes extra nasty because the template gave him a bite attack, vastly increasing the chances of paralyzing something.

A half-troll xill stands 4 to 5 feet tall and weighs about 250 pounds. Half-troll xills speak Giant and Infernal.

Combat

Half-troll xills are dangerous opponents, attacking with all four limbs. More civilized ones use weapons, usually fighting with two at a time so as to leave two claws free for grab attacks. Xills typically lie in wait on the Ethereal Plane for suitable prey to happen by, then ambush it using their planewalk ability. They make full use of their Tumble skill in combat: Usually, one or two distract physically powerful enemies by attacking, then assuming a defensive stance while their fellows maneuver to advantage.

Implant (Ex): As a standard action, a half-troll xill can lay eggs inside a paralyzed creature. The young emerge about 90 days later, literally devouring the host from inside. A remove disease spell rids a victim of the egg, as does a DC 25 Heal check. If the check fails, the healer can try again, but each attempt (successful or not) deals 1d4 points of damage to the patient.
Improved Grab (Ex): To use this ability, a half-troll xill must hit a Small or smaller creature with one or more claw attacks. It can then attempt to start a grapple as a free action without provoking an attack of opportunity. It receives a +2 bonus on the grapple check for each claw that hits. If it wins the grapple check and maintains the hold in the next round, it automatically bites the foe at that time. This bite deals no damage but injects a paralyzing venom.
Paralysis (Ex): Those bitten by a xill must succeed on a DC 17 Fortitude save or be paralyzed for 1d4 hours. The save DC is Constitution-based.
Planewalk (Su): These planar travelers like to slip between the folds of space to attack enemies as though from thin air. They can cross from the Ethereal Plane with a move action but take 2 rounds to cross back, during which time they are immobile. As a xill fades away, it becomes harder to hit: Opponents have a 20% miss chance in the first round and a 50% miss chance in the second. A xill can planewalk with a willing or helpless creature.
Rend (Ex): If a half-troll xill hits with two or more claw attacks in the same round, it rends the target, automatically dealing 2d4+7 points of damage.
Scent (Ex): Detect within 30 feet (15 ft./60 ft. - down/up wind), note direction as a move action, pinpoint within 5 feet.
