Goblin Vault: Alraune Monster/Race (Patreon)

Hello, my lovelies! I have a special update for today to the Vault: A commission I got to design a D&D monster based on the creature in The Blossoming Gallows, as well as a race based on a similar premise. The result was a pretty wild ride, and I thought I'd share it, as well as a brief playtest I ran with myself (though I made some modifications to her hypnosis power after finishing the playtest).

The Vampiric Alraune is a very nasty CR 14 monster, and difficult to run, too—you have to be super careful at keeping track of the conditions she inflicts, 'cause she inflicts a lot of slow-creeping effects. Because her main power is "entangle everyone and force them to watch my breasts until they succumb to the pollen", battles can swing on a dime.

The Alraune race is pretty powerful, but a lot of her abilities are flavor or have a cost or risk to using them.

Incidentally, creating this monster kinda made me want to create a "D&D game" Patreon tier.

Note: Disregard the Recharge text on the Essence Drinker ability.
