My most recent post for my Dragonblade! setting lays out the five main types of oni, which are this setting's equivalent of goblins, orcs and Draconians in other settings. Only larger, and cannibalistic. Anyway, here's the link for your fire oni, earth oni, metal oni, water oni and wood oni: doughagler.wordpress.com/2015/11/27/5th-edition-dd-dragonblade-rise-of-the-oni/Under the hood, each of them is an adaptation of the 5E Monster Manual ogres, with an added elemental resistance and vulnerability based on the metaphysics of the setting (explained in other posts), and a death-effect inspired by Krynn's Draconians. These are also rough drafts of each, so comments and suggestions are welcome! Enjoy! |

Hey, thanks for these monsters. I am building a Japanese based campaign and a lot of the monster (including these especially) are coming in handy with the basic concept of that campaign. The Oni are especially good, I like the elemental aspects to them. Amazing job!

The Oni are especially good, I like the elemental aspects to them. Amazing job! Cool, thanks! If you go back to other Dragonblade!-tagged posts, I've put other things up there, many of which would work for a Japanese campaign (the campaign world is based on east and south Asia, but Japan brings a lot of those themes together). Many of the things I borrow from other cultures have a parallel somewhere in Japanese mythology as well. Anyway, enjoy. Oh, any requests? I enjoy nerding out and putting together stat blocks for mythical creatures  |

Oh, any requests? I enjoy nerding out and putting together stat blocks for mythical creatures A couple, I've always wanted to do something with the Akateko (but I doubt you need stat blocks for that). The Basen. I've partially wanted to convert this into a mount players can use. Nothing like riding fire-breathing chickens to improve moral. Futakuchi-onna would be another monster. Sort of the Medusa of Japanese Mythology. Kuchisake-onna is a must, if just for the conversations. However, she is not entirely Mythology, more of a modern Japanese thing. And I've enjoyed the other posts you had with the various other Japanese Mythological monsters, especially the Nuppepo. |
