Prinny Monster

[Jeff]

This is my first monster idea based off of the game Disgaea: Hour of Darkness (PS2... you will play it and love it's comedic turn-based action... LOVE IT!). I did my best with my limited experience but I feel its lacking somewhere. The immunities I used were based on the Petitioner from Manual of the Planes update 3.5.

Here it goes

Prinnies are penguin-like creatures found on all of the outer planes, but are virtually never seen on any of the inner planes. Prinnies vary in appearance depending on their home planes but are usually a shade of purple or blue and have small vestigial wings (other than their flippers) attached to their backs which vary in appearance depending on the home plane of the prinny: bat-like on evil aligned planes, bird-like on good aligned planes, and moth-like on neutral aligned planes. Prinnies are the “go-fers” and lackies of the universe and can be used in place of petitioners where desired. In times of war they are used as fillers, destractions, and (mostly on evil planes) ammunition.
COMBAT
Prinnies avoid combat whenever possible. When forced into a fight they wield whatever weaopon they have on hand with all their might.
Some prinnies make suicide runs and explode amongst the ranks of their enemies.

Explosion (Ex): Prinnies are an explosive lot, and any major jostling can set off a prinny’s explosion (falls, major nonlethal damage, critical hits, other prinny explosions, DM’s discretion). All creatures within 5’ of the exploding prinny take 2d6 plus the prinny’s charisma modifier of one damage type that the prinny is immune to (no save.) The prinny itself then drops immediately to -9 hitpoints and stabilizes there. There is always a 25% chance a prinny doesn’t explode. For every 5 HD a prinny has add another d6 damage.

Ysgard Fire or Acid

So basically its an exploding penquin that lives on the outer planes...... cool
Well balanced, Ill look up the rules on challange ratings and try and figure out their challenge rating. Ill be back to you on that.

Sorry it took so long, I've been kinda busy as of late what with workin on my house with my dad and whatnot.
Anyway I figure Prinny should have a challenge rating of 2.
Of course in large groups they could do some serious damage.

[Jeff]

[Werdmath]
