Ok idea for a beggining campaign, ankeg attacking a village, adventurers confront it in the tunnels, BUT the ankeg has grafted human parts in itslef and is in the process of cutting appart the villagers corpses. How is that for creativity?
@NotSomeone689 ай бұрын
I want to correct you on the Ankheg's vision. Two slashes ( " ) means inches, not feet - which is a single slash ( ' ). In old D&D distances were measured in inches for tactical combat. Each inch is 5 feet. So the vision is 30 ft, or 60 ft on daylight. Source: What I remember from my 1e days back in the 80s.

Correction- in AD&D the Ankhegs visions wasn't 12 feet, it was 12 INCHES. Distance in 1e was a carry over from wargaming and was expressed in inches. One inch was equal to 10 yards outside or 10 feet inside. So the original Ankheg actually had pretty good vision.

Ankheg was the first monster I faced in D&D, about 25 years ago. The paladin rolled the lowest Moving Silently in the party and got attacked... and ended up dying. My friend (playing the paladin) had been using the character for a long time and went to cry in the toilet. That's when I realised how immersive RPG can be.

I've started many a campaign with a simple Ankheg fight. Sometimes it's just an ambush on the road, sometimes it's a main quest for a new party. One time the party arrived at the homestead of a farmer in response to a posting at the local inn's work board requesting hunters for a monster killing the livestock, and arrive to find the halfing farmer standing on the roof shouting at them to 'Get off the ground for the love of the gods!" Just as they noticed the funnel shaped, blood soaked hole next to the horse feeder beside them, it attacked.

My favorite Ankheg memory is when the PC's were hired by a circus to reclaim a stolen giant hamster from a clan of Kobolds that lived in the city sewers. Instead of attacking the kobold clan outright they decided to try and parlay and make some kind of exchange for the hamster. The kobold's leader said that if they could bring him a live war turtle to use as a mount he would give them the hamster. One of the kobold's guided them to where they could find the 'war turtles' and it was a nest of ankhegs! For several glorious rounds of combat the PC's scrambled to protect themselves from ankheg attacks without harming them while the ranger used a Ring of Animal Friendship to finally charm one of them, it took his very last charge to accomplish the feat. The kobold's were suitably impressed with their ankheg wrangling skills and turned over the hamster, but then their leader wanted to try out his new mount and the PCs had to fight him and his ankheg anyway, but his warriors refused to reneg on their deal and didn't fight the PCs, which left their boss to fight (and die) on his own. The kobolds then became uneasy allies to the party.

First comment? Anyway, before seeing the video, I want to share my 3.5e experience with them. We were a party of 3, meant to kill the adults and find the eggs in their hole (dude wanted the eggs, don't know why), I was a sorcerer with draconic feats from perfect arcana, we also had a druid and a warrior. We decided for what I thought was a good plan. Silence and distance with ranged weapons, so the fighter could engage. So, what happened. This thing can dig, we knew that, we also knew he was an ambush predator. What I thought it did, was come out of the ground and spit acid. Nope, not at all. It has the grappler feat for monsters with size large, that with str means +12 to grapple. So, he felt me on the ground (unlucky), Came out, grappled me and dealt damage. Hit dice is a d4, and I was lvl 2, so even with feats for hp in average I was on deaths door step. What insued was incredible. The fighter at lvl 2, with a +4 to grapple, used his movement and grappled the beast from behind. He manage to beat it. For a single round. Druid run for a round, while the fighter kept grappling the beast from behind. He started losing badly, but the creature had no way to bite him, so no grapple damage for now. We wacked each other for a round or 2, then that thing run away. Being an ambush predator and all. We were half dead at this point. We later killed it in his cave after stealing some of the eggs, and finding the dead body of another one half eaten. I wasted a spell slot on that fake body, because noone passed a 15 check to tell that it was dead. I also got spit in the face bit the other one. One the most dangerous sessions I ever experienced, and that same campaing we later fought a whole goblin village. For those wondering, village means goblins are in the hundreds, with different lvls for various roles (70% not fighter, those last 30 with a lvl 6-9 boss, multiple segeants lvl 3 and various lvl 1-2 combatant, also count in the wolfes and worges, they had a specialized militia with various roles). We were lvl 3. The lvl 6 goblin was a tribe boss, a class from the miniature manual. That thing could give +6 str at area, and he was accompanied by a cleric and a war-wizard. We never got to that point, campaign ended too soon, but al lvl 3 we fought one of the seargents. I got one shotted again, because we didn't check the whole area since we didn't have a ranger so he managed to sneak up to me in the middle of the fight, take me down and basically turn the fight on us. Then he escaped. This DM is wild. If we do something wrong, or we fail at something, someone is down. Last week, new adventure, we got almost creamted alive. He pulled out some loney toons lvl of stuff to give to 2 lvl 1 characters a chance against us, and in 2 lvl 3 we chased then for a whole city. It was totally fair and predictable, we just don't onow the game enought to be prepared and our builds aren't compensating for enought situations, but damn he is good and raising the stakes.

It was pretty cool to run them because the whole thing turned like a horror episode of the players searching the mines in the dark for survivors, kill the queen and seal the tunnels.. all the while being ambushed by oversized insects comming from the walls and below.

A fun quest line idea. After a previous ankheg attack, a vein of precious material is discovered within its tunnel. Now the town needs adventurers to protect the locals as they are turning the tunnel into a proper mine. Possible intrigues: The local who is leading the conversion is not very experienced but is working as hard as he can for the town's benefit (it's also on his land). The expert he wanted to hire would do so only if his company took a perceived exorbitant portion of all profit, so the local declined. That expert is now propositioning other elements within the town. Do the adventurers help the local or make deals with the other elements in town? A tunnel collapsed (sabotage or poor workmanship?), trapping most of the crew (local or hired) on the other side. What deals will be made so they will be rescued? Will those deals be honored? And how can the adventurers impede/help?

@toddkes58909 ай бұрын
One stunt I could see the Ankheg doing in winter would be 'burying' itself under some loose dirt in one of its tunnels. Its antennae can still sense visitors, and the burying will give them a slight advantage as any intruders won't notice the disturbed dirt as easily compared to a full-sized ankheg. Now a fun idea would be smarter ankhegs that set up lots of dirt along a tunnel, then bury itself under that loose dirt. If the players take time to examine all of the dirt, that will give the ankheg time to wake up fully. If the characters run forward to the end of the tunnel, then the characters have gone past the ankheg and are in a dead end. Even more fun is if the ankheg made a U-turn tunnel so the characters have to get within the tremorsense range while running down the tunnel. This gives the ankheg time to wake up before the characters get to the other part of the U-turn tunnel where the ankheg is located.

This looks and feels like a good starting foe for a budding adventurer. Pretty simple, having a complex enough encounter and just tough enough that any level 1-3 character will have issues with alone.

Good stuff with the new monster classes. Earth is my favorite element. Not too hyped on the gnolls. Mostly due to how people keep trying to ignore their entirely demonic heritage, thus forcing you to be part of an evil play-through if you allowed them, but, I'm just traditional like that. Still, as ever, if you manage to make a monster class that uses both oozes and beasts, I'll be all over that like white on rice.

A dm moving/playing the enemies how they would act in universe would be amazing. the dm i used to play with always mysteriously had them spread out enough to make hitting 2 or more at once with a single spell really hard after i got access to good area effect spells. Kinda made my character a cantrip bot cause there was never anything worth using a spell slot on. meanwhile the arakokra fighter was dominating pretty much every combat encounter with their ridicules speed and the magic weapon they got.
