Big Foot


As I was driving for work the other day, a rogue thought popped into my head.

What if Bigfoot was just a Big Foot?

Like, a giant foot just wandering the wilds of Faerûn or the Feywild or even the Pacific Northwest.

No body. No larger creature it was attached to. Just a foot. Well, wonder no more!

An eight-foot long disembodied foot appears out of the forest. Despite its size, it moves quietly. As it draws closer, a mouth appears in the center of its sole.

Originally hailing from the Far Realm, the Big Foot is now commonly found in the Feywild and remote, forested locations on the Prime Material Plane, stalking and devouring prey.

COMBAT

Once a Big Foot detects potential prey, it moves swiftly to trample it to the ground before swiftly devouring it. They are intelligent and will trade information for food.

• Blindsight (Ex): A Big Foot is aware of all creatures and objects that it has line of sight to and is unaffected by darkness or invisibility.
• Trample (Ex): As a Full-round action, a Big Foot may move up to double its speed and run over all creatures in its path, dealing 1d6+7 damage (Ref ½ DC17). Trampled opponents can attempt attacks of opportunity, but these take a -4 penalty. If they do not make attacks of opportunity, trampled opponents can attempt Reflex saves to take half damage.
• Tremorsense (Ex): A Big Foot is aware of all creatures within 60' of itself that are in contact with the ground
• Woodland Stride (Ex): A Big Foot may move through any sort of undergrowth (such as natural thorns, briars, overgrown areas, and similar terrain) at its normal speed and without taking damage or suffering any other impairment.
However, thorns, briars, and overgrown areas that are enchanted or magically manipulated to impede motion still affect them.
• Skills: A Big Foot, despite its size, is known for being difficult to locate. It gains a +4 racial bonus to Hide and Move Silently checks. Additionally, a Big Foot is treated as if it were two size categories smaller for purposes of tracking DCs.

Attack on Silvanost - Part 2

Image
01 Newkolt 349 AC Kysek sees the two dragons crash to the ground. He races along the street, silent as death. The carnage surrounding them is unbelievable. All around, he sees splintered kiosks, smashed storefronts with some buildings entirely collapsed into the street mixed with bloody smears of what were once elven revelers just minutes ago celebrating the arrival of the new year. He crouches behind some rubble, his well practiced fingers plucking the spell components he needs without having to look. He falls into his spellcasting and focuses on the two dragons that are just now getting their feet under them and calls out, " Καταιγίδα πάγου!" Hailstones begin falling from the sky, pounding the red wyrms with punishing force. Both beasts roar, their anger rattling the few remaining intact windows in their frames. "Master, look," Spewer's voice cuts through the din of battle, drawing Shadow's attention back to the ground and the fallen kender. The dark el...

Attack on Silvanost!

Image
01 Newkolt 349 AC As the dragons appear and loose their breath weapons, the adventurers react, scattering to avoid the brunt of the surprise assault. Kysek is in motion as soon as the first dragon flickers into view. He darts into an alley, completely evading the fire and lightning and toxic gas pours into the street. As the initial wave subsides, he steps out, shouting to those in the crowd who are still able to move, “Help each other! Quickly! Move to Lorraine’s and seek shelter! Those who can, help those who can’t! GO! NOW!” He twists the gem on his Ring of Gyges and vanishes. He darts out and watches the dragons as the red dragons begin to close in. He focuses on the lead one and shouts, " αστραπή αλυσίδας!" Kysek snaps back into view as bolt of lightning lances from his hand and strikes the dragon squarely in the chest and washes over it with no effect. The rider on the dragon's back is not so lucky. The electricity from the spell surges through the robed figure, bla...

Silvanost - Everything Changed When the Dragonarmy Attacked

Silvanost - New Year's Eve 30 Frostkolt 348 AC - 01 Newkolt 349 AC Arthur leaned back slightly, studying her face in the flickering light of the tavern’s hearth. The laughter and music from the other tables felt far away, as if the two of them sat alone in the whole of the building. “Lady Agnes,” he said gently, “these last days have gone by faster than I’d have liked. Before the festival’s lights go out and the winter streets grow quiet again… I’d like to see them through your eyes. Show me your favorite places, the ones you keep close to your heart.” He offered her a small, genuine smile, “No grand halls, no formal feasts—just where you would choose to be, if this were your last night of the season. Let me know the corners of this city that make you feel at home.” His hand rested lightly in hers. “I can think of no better way to remember this festival than to spend it walking beside you." Ag'nesallynn smiles, "And I, you, Dear Arthur. I did not expect to find.....

Day Three of the Odinsleep (The Plains of Vígríðr) Part Five

Image
DAY ONE (Day Three of the Odinsleep), 9:30 am Everyone sees Raven hurled into the wall by the Jotun.   Many are surprised when the elf rises to his feet, spits out a mouthful of blood and starts running back toward the enemy.   Shadow, realizing that the cursed sword Thorgrim will make Raven fight until either he or the giant is dead angles around in mid-air and dives back toward the mountainous giant.   “Spewer!   Leap onto its head and see if you can get into the thing’s ears or nose and melt its brain!”   The dark elf pulls his dagger, the “Nasty Surprise” as he closes in on the blue-skinned behemoth.   The giant scowls, watching Raven race toward him and readies his axe to strike and does not notice Shadow’s approach.   Spewer jumps right before Shadow drives his dagger into the side of the giant’s neck.   The tiny blade barely scratches the skin but it’s enough for the drow to release the spell stored within the blade.   Five pulses...

Dr. Bumbershoot

Image
Dr. Bumbershoot was created for use in during the Gangbusters/Cthulhu by Gaslamp sequel to the western I currently have in progress.  Unless something changes, I have him slated to be a private investigator the party will become acquainted with during the course of their adventures.  The character's concept was inspired by and borrows heavily from the Kingsmen movies (I never read the comics so I have no idea how accurately the movies have been adapted).  The sequel will be set in the superhero-based   world that will tie ALL of the other campaigns together . That said, I spent an entire evening scouring the internet for pictures of umbrellas (including diagrams complete with labeled parts), bartitsu , and the Bat-Man villain Penguin for inspiration.  Mix and simmer for a day or two and this is what I came up with...
