However, I do think the Gibberlings (even if the name is dumb) can be used if you alter them a bit. I have a tendency to pattern them after the degenerate clan from H.P. Lovecraft's story 'The Lurking Fear'. My players have come to both fear them and be highly disturbed by them.Azathoth100https://www.blogger.com/profile/01233687763481969213noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-13737932437599257362011-05-19T18:48:12.097-07:002011-05-19T18:48:12.097-07:00@likefunbutnot

There's a Githyanki on the cover of the Fiend Folio. It feels like there should be a lot more mythology out there. I'm sure it's cool for a DM to make up whatever they want, but even as a blank slate, we get "New drawing, moving on" here.<br /><br />Poor Gith races.likefunbutnothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01219493954560650693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-13249191631197448742011-05-19T14:16:20.181-07:002011-05-19T14:16:20.181-07:00So... the face on the Giant Strider?

I like the new Garbug, the whole wizard helper thing is good, and the potion jar is a neat mechanic.<br /><br />For the Gorbel, I'm envisioning them actually covering over a player's face completely and taking over the face (they give the player a breathe without air ability). Then the Gorbel turns out to be really smart and a great conversationalist so none of the other party members want to get rid of it.<br /><br />The Gryph is a pretty awesome picture.<br /><br />I like the Guardian Familiar. Maybe as they get older and more powerful they grow more "selves"? If you cut it open and count the rings you can tell how old it is. The most powerful are the ones with nine lives (like nine-tailed foxes).John Evanshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17813593224618572349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-55256610384835963762011-05-18T13:41:28.876-07:002011-05-18T13:41:28.876-07:00Love the Gryph and Guardian Familiar is just aweso...Love the Gryph and Guardian Familiar is just awesome.GrayPumpkinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12776658442266878498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-19636153162417653272011-05-18T13:35:26.592-07:002011-05-18T13:35:26.592-07:00I totally adore the new gibberling.

Maybe in this way<br />they soak up so much evil that hey exude bad luck to all around them like a jinx, and eventually the little witch children have to send them off on missions to collect the eyes of blessed orphans just to get them out of the house for a while.richardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13517340075234811323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2638993969706011706.post-62976437956043045902011-05-18T12:50:14.441-07:002011-05-18T12:50:14.441-07:00Congratulations.
