Monster Selection

[Guest]

Archived from groups: rec.games.frp.dnd (More info?)

I need a guardian-esque type of monster (one monster) that would be a
fitting challenge for a party of 5(decent mix) who average about 6th level,
a monster that is intelligent enough to follow orders like "guard that man".
I have a fully evacuated city quarter that I can place them in, so space is
not a problem, nor are extreme combat techniques(fire breathing, spells,
blah blah), and even if the monster is something that would otherwise be
noticed in a city, this part of the city is literally deserted.

Suggestions?

A tiny dragon (blue for example)

Depending upon what it's guarding, and for whom, maybe a golem? Flesh for a
reasonable challenge, clay for a tough challenge.

Dragon Skeleton. PC's might think it's a dracolich.
Misdirection can be fun at times. Depending on
which set of rules you use, you can still have a
pretty good "dragon" to play with.

Only problem with that is that our party would not be able to handle even
the smallest of dragons. In our campaign, dragons are the ultimate monster,
their stats are SIGNIFICANTLY better than they are in the book.

BD&D has a bone golem that I might steal. 4 att/round, immunities as golem
and skeleton combined, 8 HD(IIRC), should provide a few rounds of spirited
combat, especially if it focuses it's attack on a single individual. All
I'd need is a few rounds of combat, it's not meant to be the ultimate
adventure encounter or anything.

A golem is a good choice. The guardian would be an avatar of a high level
wizard, so that makes sense.

You need at least one cow set as a guard just in case any bugs or insects
wander into the area.

He said guardian-esque, not predatory.
