>subordinate and protector, Momiji Inubashiri.

Nothing suggests the latter. Momiji guards the mountain, I doubt she works directly for Aya.

Hell, I doubt she's even subordinate, considering she's a guard and Aya runs a newspaper.

>>6383233
Aya's the head of minister of Tengu propaganda, didn't you know? Of course she gets minions like Momiji.

Well, I definitely like this interpretation of tengu better than bird heads with no wings

>Peerless wind god "illusory dominance"
>Aya shifts thrice her speed
Let me guess, she turns into red lasers as well, right?

For comparison, here are other level 14 elite monsters of a similar role. Empress Donata is a terrifying behemoth.

>>6383253
minion != protector

Aya is suppose to be more powerfull tha momiji, thats why they send her in MoF after momiji

>>6383277
Dear God, that beholder is a rape machine. Fight it and you'll spend the whole fucking battle weakened and immobilized, getting hit with ice bullshit twice a round as well.

looks alright, the power that creatures zones for all enemies hit should do something easier to keep track of though.

Purely from a DM'ing standpoint, zones can be a pain to keep track of.

Also her defenses are very high. As are her attack bonuses, not sure if this is intended or not considering her extreme manueverability.

instead of using these long ass conventional monster things of double size, you should do it as a fucking flowchart

>>6383304 Also her defenses are very high
I agree, when DMG2 came out, they changed the way Elites are made, you no longer increase three of the defenses by 2.

>As are her attack bonuses
No they aren't. They should be one higher, in fact.

Illusury Dominance is going to be a complete fucking bitch to deal with. Unless you're using a mat and can shade the squares affected, you won't remember them.

I'd put a couple of squares of push on Thrust Fan to make it worthwhile to use. As it is, she's got 4 encounter powers so she'll probably not use it until the very end of the combat as a 'well I'm out of gas' thing.

>>6383380
Just to further my point, you'll notice from the npcs you compared her to that they mostly have a variety of at-wills with different uses that 'define' the combat with them and an encounter for showing off. In this case you've just got a bunch of one-shots so the PCs won't really get a good hang of her combat style and there won't be as much of a clear 'oh wow' when she busts out with a new move.

Aya here is an NPC wizard with the Magic Missile, Scorching Burst, Winter's Wrath, Thunderlance, Ice Storm, and Expeditious Retreat powers, all modified to deliver force damage to represent the sheer momentum of the battering winds she creates. Ice Storm was further altered into her Illusionary Dominance power, which was something I believed she could not exist without. The Devastator template was added to her; Spell Shaper was made to instead simply add "targets enemies" to her close and area powers, and Endless Power was adjusted to recharge when bloodied, as I am not a fan of rolling for recharges. Additionally, the Those Who Hear monster theme was given to her, granting her the Aura of Madness and Mind of Movement powers for even greater mobility and battlefield control.

It was suggested to me that Aya be bestowed speed 8 and immunity to slow effects. I had accepted this and integrated this into her statistics, though I felt this to be a tad too powerful. As such, her base race was stripped down to something which simply granted her +2 Intelligence, +2 Wisdom, and the githyanki racial power, and she was not given a second wizard utility power.

>>6383233

>Illusury Dominance is going to be a complete fucking bitch to deal with. Unless you're using a mat and can shade the squares affected, you won't remember them.
On MapTool, create zones using the template tool as you usually would. In real life, prepare a handful of paper squares which should cover a three-by-three-square area on your mat, and simply place them under the miniatures of the characters affected.

>>6383380

>I'd put a couple of squares of push on Thrust Fan to make it worthwhile to use.
I believe that it should suffice as a cooldown attack to be used immediately before being bloodied and immediately before being brought to 0 hit points.

>>6383403

>you'll notice from the npcs you compared her to that they mostly have a variety of at-wills with different uses that 'define' the combat with them and an encounter for showing off

On the contrary, the other four monsters listed have one or two attacks that they simplistically spams, as they have no superior options avaiable to them. The Beholder Eye of Frost uses only Central Eye and Ice Ray, the Foulspawn Mystic alternates between Forking Warp and Hole in the Sky, Breven Foss repeatedly declares his Elemental Burst power as it exceeds the potency of his other two attacks by leagues, and Empress Donata deconstructs and demolishes the party with Dominating Murmur and Perfect Command.

I feel that elite and solo monsters should be designed with three to five attack powers that they can execute as needed, without being able to monotonously spam one or two of the most effective attacks available to them.

>>6383282
Touhou power levels is not a fight you want to start.

Aya was more powerful than Momiji in the game because she was a later boss, not because she's actually more powerful. Momiji was just trying to scare the player off, Aya had a much better idea of how strong the two were, so turned up the heat a bit.

>>6383304

>Also her defenses are very high.
NPCs possess higher defenses in exchange for lower hit points overall, which I feel is an acceptable state of affairs.

>As are her attack bonuses, not sure if this is intended or not considering her extreme manueverability.
Your average level 14 artillery monster brings to bear a +19 attack bonus against Fortitude-, Reflex-, and Will-targeting ranged attacks, and a +17 attack bonus against those three defenses for close and area attacks. Aya utilizes the average of these two values, +18, for all of her attacks.

>>6383707
For example, Momiji is actually a Phantasm stage boss in the most recent MoF patch.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-unsSqmjr4

>>6383753
Exactly.

And virtually every single character ever introduced has some secret power, implied or otherwise, and is never seriously fighting you at all.

And then there's the whole "spellcards are designed so weaker people can beat stronger people, so they're not a great measure of power either." issue.

>>6383850

I feel that now would be a fine moment to explicate that I have resolved that each statted character hereafter shall be a level 14 elite in order to prevent Power Levels from occurring. Why level 14, you ask? One of the projects that my associates and I have set forth to realize is a level 14 adventure set in Gensokyo, a module which shall come with premade characters. The five playtesters of this module have selected Reimu, Mystia, Cirno, Tenshi, and Hina as their characters, and the pool of characters that they shall face comprises of a variety of Windows characters separate from these five.

Utsuho the level 17 solo brute was initially an exception to this ocean of level 14 characters, as the encounter in which the PCs shall face her entails the atomic crow drawing strength from her nuclear crucible of power, though I have decided to remake her as a level 14 elite brute to put her in line with the other characters for the sake of uniformity.

>>6383753
>Mountain of Faith Phantasm Stage
What? I thought the fight with Suwako in Extra was the end.

>>6384194

Where's Utsuho's stat
block?

>>6384278
dont know if this is the final edition, saved it a few days ago

>>6384356

This would be the final version for her level 17 solo brute incarnation, actually.

>>6384676
her orb is also magical, also she should probably be a bit higher level than 17 and would probably work better as a blaster than a leader
or is she not like an actual class with custom powers.

>>6384711

>her orb is also magical
It is a portion of her physical form, and I fail to see what you are driving at here.

>also she should probably be a bit higher level than 17
As above, she was initially intended to serve as part of a level 14 adventure.

>and would probably work better as a blaster than a leader
The only reason why Utsuho here has the Leader subrole would be her first aura. "Leader" is a designation for any monster whose auras or powers include one which directly provides bonuses, free attacks, hit points, temporary hit points, or other such benefits to its allies. Even if only one aura or power of the monster happens to match this criterion, it is designated as a leader nevertheless. Have a look at the Angel of Authority from page 8 of the Monster Manual 2, or the Couatl Star Serpent from page 38 of the same supplement. These two monsters each possess only one power that directly benefits their allies, namely, Majestic Rally and Couatl Radiance, and yet they are declared leaders nonetheless.

>>6384764
how the hell does RADIATION help her allies?

>>6384774
duh they're in hell

>>6384774
They've gotten used to it.

>>6384356
>>6384676

Many thanks, in return receive the link for Utsuho's theme remixed

Invokers are going to love Aya's low Fort, and Archer Rangers will be able to have quite a lot of fun with her--melee units are gonna consider her a pain unless there's a Fighter who can lock her down with combat superiority.

All in all, quick, dodgy, and a good level 14 elite

>>6385213
Forgot to mention that Ensnaring or Assault Swordmages are gonna lol at her.

>>6385213
>Invokers are going to love Aya's low Fort

Every invoker I've seen targets Reflex and Will exclusively.

Avenging Light and Grasping Shards are so shitty that they never get picked.

>>6385271
They must not fight a lot of low FORT monsters.

>>6385271
Really? Even the hardcore ones keep a few around for monsters just like this one.

rolled 40 = 40

>>6383225
>Momiji Inubashiri.

B-but why would I want to fight someone so cute? ;_;

>>6385421
If it is statted, you must kill it

>>6385431
Which explains why 3e had stats for everything, including pet animals, household objects and cthulhu. Clearly, it was designed for running Chaotic Random games.

>>6385365
Fortitude is the highest defense for monsters on average. Seriously, brutes even have higher Fortitude than AC.

>>6385421
I have a player who knows nothing about touhou and for gigles made a wolf spirit with a human form for my games based of a random momiji picture. He managed to make her overwhelmingly cute and puppy like without it seeming annoyingly forced (to me and I haven't heard complaints). I don't think I can ever put up anything with a soul as it couldn't smack around the brawler of the group.

hmmm, moar of statted Touhou?:)

>>6385468
It still doesn't hurt to keep one or two powers around for exactly this sort of situation. I run into about 3 or 4 low Fort monsters a session

>>6385485

Do have the improved version.

1) pick a level and monster type
2) Take all their abilities
3)???
4) Touhou

Just as a thought, shouldn't the camera be featured in one of her abilities? As true to the original spellcards as you're keeping it, the camera is an icon for her. Something like "Intrepid Reporter (at-will; minor) Implement - Range 5; +20 vs Reflex; Aya gains combat advantage over targeted enemy until the end of her next turn."

Also:
>DEX 12
wut. The flight 24 is appropriate, but an Aya that isn't dexterous?

>>6384774

What are you? High?

Light Radiation doesn't equal radioactive decay's results.

>>6385685
In the 4e, you can use your Intelligence for AC and Reflex.

So Dexterity isn't really required for being agile and dodging danmaku.

>>6385757
Point taken, it just seems a little odd.

>>6385772

If it makes you fell better, consider it convertion damage.

The information lost on converting a character for one system to another.

Aya is mai waifu,

>>6385825

Lies.

I am her husband.

I had no choice in that regard, too fucking cute to say no to.

>>6385685

>Just as a thought, shouldn't the camera be featured in one of her abilities?
I do believe that her camera is nothing more than a camera.

>The flight 24 is appropriate, but an Aya that isn't dexterous?
I had aimed for the standard ability scores of a level 14 character, and had settled on Intelligence and Wisdom for her two prime ability scores. Since the system for which she is being provided statistics for is 4e, a game wherein Intelligence can bolster one's Reflex defense, a mediocre Dexterity score was workable.

rolled 27 = 27

>>6385858

But why not just pick Dex and Wisdom?

>>6385884
Because Aya is a smart girl.

>>6386108
If by smart you mean manipulative.

If by manipulative you mean a filthy whore.

>>6386443
>filthy whore

Since Momiji had nary a spell card in Mountain of Faith, I was granted the luxury of free reign over her powers. Since the warden class fits her extraordinarily well, she was created as a longtooth shifter Wildblood warden with Thorn Strike, Weight of Earth, Wildblood Frenzy, Stormhowler's Strike, Form of Winter's Herald, Eyes of the Hawk, and Guardian's Attack, some of them modified as suited her. An altered version of the Hellbound Soldier template was applied to her as well, and powers from the Those Who Hear monster theme, similar to Aya's, were added as well.

My, my, her defender marking and interrupts take up quite a bit of space.

Hooray.

>>6385858
Her camera destroys bullets at the least, and knocks people out at the most.

>>6386641
It's true. Aya is a slut and a whore.

>>6387065
>Her camera destroys bullets at the least

That's kind of just how the Shoot the Bullet game works. She can't do it in PoFV or MoF.

>and knocks people out at the most.

Never heard of that.

>>6387006
Seems good to me.

>>6387006
I lolled at Shield Sign.

>>6387006
No overland flight?

So who's next?

>>6387533
oh god marisa please

>>6387545
LOVE CANNON FIRE

Touhoufag, who are you statting next?

Yeah some of us would like to know.

These things have ridiculous numbers of powers for monsters.

>>6385685
>but an Aya that isn't dexterous?

she is so fast she crash into damaku

>>6388003
She is the SR-71 of the Tengu world.

>>6388044
so is Mokou a F15?

>>6388044
The highest flying aircraft ever built, and still (discounting orbitals) the fastest manned vehicle of any kind in human history.

Highest, Faster, Shutter Girl indeed.

>>6388093
Maybe the F-15E. Perhaps. There's really not much I can compare Mokou to.

Do patchy next please?

>>6388214
Patchy definitely makes me think of the Su-37. Nimble, impressive, made of rape, but also a glass cannon. One good punch in the nose and she's down for the count.

>>6388093

>>6388243
>>6388144
You know, that man draws a good body and face.

Just wish he'd use a different one occasionally.

>>6388274
Mokou's more Highlander than dread.

>>6388243
Why is Mokou cosplaying as Patchoulli?

>>6388294

Hey, that's a job for other people.

>>6388301
Because she's really bored.

Also Eirin...

>>6388318
And here's Utsuho.

Damn, Mokou gets through a lot of outfits. She must have a damn big closet.

And even as Miku.

That wig was a bitch to get into.

It's actually really bad when he draws two girls in the same picture.

>>6388294
in all honestly i think even if is the same face it fit nice with some touhous

but not in all of them

i mean, eirin, mokou, utsuho and komachi actually look kinda "normal"

the rest? lol no

Eye'd ask you to stat me, but eye already know that eye'm the strongest!

>>6388408
I seriously hate her.

When Yuugi's statted, this has GOT to be her portrait.
