Magnetic Carrion Crab


#1

Hey all thought I’d share my Carrion Crab customization.

You can find this enemy in the core book on pg. 115.

I gave the crab 2 additional abilities.

Blue Aura - REACTION -Once per ROUND it glows blue and magnetizes metal objects. Everyone has to make a STR check or lose one metal object of the DM’s choosing. The objects are now attached to the carrion crab. (objects can be retrieved with a WIS roll)

Purple Aura - Action - it glows purple and magnetizes magic objects. Everyone has to make a STR check or lose one magic object of the DM’s choosing. The objects are now attached to the carrion crab. (objects can be retrieved with a WIS roll)

Thought it would be fun to take away some of the items the players tend to lean on too much for one battle. Make them think of different ways to achieve victory. And couldn’t resist having the tanky full plate armor player get their whole body stuck to the crab and get dragged around for comic effect.
