Scorch




Burned alive by dragonire and resurrected by ceaseless greed, the fighter knowna as Scorch still bears an thin, elvish form. However, his burn is an ashen grey covered with veins of sizzling embers. His once fine armor is just as charred but still carries an autumn orange hue. Scorch uses his martial prowess and fire-based abilities to kill and rob whomever he wants, often burning down the scene of the crime. He is a sucker for a stand-up fight, however, when his considerable pride is bruised. That's how he got immolated by a dragon in the first place.

Hurl Flame.

Ranged Spell Attack: +5 to hit, range 150 ft., one target. Hit: 10 (3d6) fire damage. If the target is a flammable object that isn't being worn or carried, it also catches fire.

Firejump (Recharge 6).

Scorch teleports to an unoccupied space he can see within 30ft. Immediately after he disappears, fire erupts from that spot, and each creature within 10 feet of the space he left must make a DC 13 saving throw, taking 16 (3d10) fire damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.


He can bring along objects as long as their weight doesn’t exceed what he can carry. He can also teleport one creature he is grappling of Medium or smaller who is carrying gear up to its carrying capacity. The creature must be within 5 feet of him when he takes this action, and there must be an unoccupied space within 5 feet of his destination space for the creature to appear in; otherwise, the creature is left behind.

Netting Mimic

This particular mimic species has a rather unique origin. As polyps the first batch was caught in a giant spider's web soon after being spawned. Rather than being devoured by the arachnid, they turned into sticky strands amid the webwork. Not long after that, a group of adventurers slew said spider and moved on. The mimics had something to subsist on and kept their disguise to keep more bugs. When the spider's eggs hatched, instead of eating the young, the mimics were amused by the creatures and they protected them until they were large enough until to ride off to better climes. Eventually, these mimics took the shape of netting of all sorts: ship rigging, cargo nets, and so on as they were less conspicuous than spider webs. They still remain friends with things eight-legged. Netting Mimic Medium Monstrosity (shapechanger), neutral Armor Class 13 (natural armor) 52 (8d8 + 16) Speed 15 ft Climb ...

Gears

Gears can't remember if he was a dwarven hero or a condemned criminal. Either way, he is more cogwork than flesh now and driven to mete out justice with his metal fists. He was first deployed during an intense goblin invasion of a dwarven stronghold. Initially he served as something between a shocktroop and a living weapon, but this cigar chopping 'cyborg' inspired the dwarven defenders fighting along side of him to the point that he became a mascot, then a leader. More times than one could count, he should have gone down under a barrage of attacks only to plow forward losing more flesh and blood later replaced with mithril and steel. Eventually, Gears lost every last dwarf he fought along side and just kept killing goblins whenever he could until the fortress housed him alone. Now he wanders the world, making things right the best he can one punch at a time. Gears Medium construct (dwarf), chaotic good Armor Class 12 (natural armor) ...

Piecemeal

Eveyrone should be free to live as they want and die as terribly as they can. This is the creed that the strange collection of bodyparts known as Piecemeal holds. Originally, it was a trio of kobolds who attempted a 'ritual' of their own design meant to grant immortality. Instead, it tore the three creatures into pieces that forgot how to die. The mass went quite mad and seeks to free other body parts from the 'bondage' of well, being part of a body. Travelling as three kobolds in a trenchcoat, Piecemeal wages a brutal war against 'slave owners' (IE anything with a body) and adds new parts to its collectiona as needed to keep the revolution going. Over time little of the kobolds remain, but it still rambles about in a trenchcoat spouting its made philosophy.
