Worm NPC's for OL

I’m working on some of the web serial WORM characters as OL NPC’s I am stating these up as PC would be just to try my hands at making different kinds of characters with OL. Feel free to give thoughts and ideas.

Have your read Worm? Skitter is at least a level 36 :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

Seriously though, looks good aside from the weird placement of your Defenses from when you copy-pasted it over (I assume). Level 3 is also where I started my own Worm campaign, to allow for more fully-developed starter characters.

I’d suggest Blindsight may be a good boon to invest in as well, to represent her insane situational awareness with her bugs, maybe Bolster for her ability to use that information to command a team. Demoralised would be a good fit for the scare tactics she often uses too.

One thing I’d like to add, though you probably already know this: you’re going to struggle to do the really powerful characters justice in OL, capes like Grey Boy, Alexandria, Eidolon and Contessa. The system just doesn’t support a power ceiling that high. The equivalents in my setting are all NPCs who I’ve built as Bosses.

I was thinking of adding blind sight to her. And yes i didnt notice the way it didnt remain the way I typed it. I have also wrote up Jack and Hellhound. I don’t intend to write up the super stong guys just the ones that could be of PC strength.

There is also “Burrowing” feat if you are interested:

I’m curious which character you’re suggesting Burrowing for. Is it someone from Ward? I haven’t got around to reading it yet.

I am not around it too, but from what I read I assume this character has something to do with worms. So I thought that those little creatures could dig a hole for him.

Her, and not really. Skitter’s power is the control of insects, but not to the extent of being able to get worms to dig a human-sized hole. Thanks for contributing though :smile:
