False Appearance.

While Scylla has not attacked for at least one minute, it is indistinguishable from a little girl wearing a white dress.

Quick Learner.

If Scylla spends at least one minute studying and observing a creature, she learns how many hitpoints they have, their armor class, their strength, constitution, dexterity, and wisdom scores. Scylla has advantage on attack rolls and charisma checks against a creature she has studied. In addition, for 24 hours she can accurately mimic that creature saying any basic one syllable word such as “hello,” or, “yes.” As per the  Mimicry trait.

I’m a Monster!

As an Action, Scylla can revert from her smaller human disguise into her true form, which is that of a small human with six tentacles ending in dog heads where her legs should be. (In her disguised form the tentacles are retracted and hiding under her dress) In this form, she is gargantuan sized and has an extra +30 feet of movement in all of her speeds. In addition, she gains access to her frightful presence and tear apart attacks. When not in her monstrous form, any attacks that use her dog heads seemingly come from the ground, where her dog heads have burrowed around her to strike. Scylla has six dog heads, and can only ever use those many dog heads in attacks at a time. She regains the use of any dog heads that haven’t been used for a bite, Sic’Em, Sentinel or Tear apart or that currently aren’t being used at the start of her turn.

Mimicry

Scylla can perfectly imitate any sounds or words she has heard within the last twenty four hours. A creature hearing them can make a DC 20 wisdom (insight) check to discern if the sounds are real or not. Scylla has also memorized certain sounds and common words, such as a baby crying, the crackling of fire, and a Little girl yelling, “I’m a monster!”

Innate Spellcasting

Scylla’s innate spellcasting ability is intelligence (spell save DC 20, +10 to hit with spell attacks) and she can cast the following spells, requiring no material components.

at will: Magic Missile, Hunter’s mark, Pass without Trace

1/day: Harm, any spell she learned using the learn spell reaction.

Deadly Precision

any attack Scylla makes against a creature that hasn’t taken a turn in combat yet is automatically a critical hit.

Amphibious

Scylla can breathe both air and water.

Actions

Multiattack.

Scylla makes two bite attacks. She then uses either Sic’em or Sentinel.

Bite.

Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, reach 50 ft., one target. Hit: 2d6+15 piercing damage and the target is grappled and pulled thirty feet towards Scylla.

 

 

Sic’Em.

Melee Weapon Attack: +15 to hit, reach 120 ft., one target. Hit: 1d6+8 bludgeoning damage and the target is restrained (escape DC 23) by two of Scylla’s dog heads. At the start of a restrained creature’s turn, they take 1d8+8 piercing damage as Scylla’s dog heads bite at the restrained creature. A restrained creature moves with Scylla.

Sentinel.

One of Scylla’s dog heads moves to a place within 300 feet of Scylla. Scylla does not need to see this location. Scylla can see and hear out of the dog head and make bite attacks centered on it, one attack per turn. As a bonus action on her turn, Scylla can use the dog head to pull herself to its location, instantly traveling there. The dog head cannot leave the area within 300 feet of Scylla and lasts for one minute. Scylla can have an amount of Sentinels equal to the amount of dog heads she has not already grappling a creature with Sic’Em or Tear apart.

 

Tear Apart (Monstrous form only) (recharge 6).

Scylla uses four of her six dog heads to grab and tear at a creature within 30 feet of her. That creature must make a dexterity saving throw or become restrained (escape DC 23) and take 14d10 bludgeoning and slashing damage (half each) or half on a success. If they fail the saving throw, on Scylla’s next turn they take the damage again. This happens for up to three rounds. If a creature is reduced to Zero hitpoints from this attack, it is torn into several pieces and dies instantly. A creature restrained by Sic’Em has disadvantage on this saving throw, and Scylla only needs to use two extra dog heads instead of four.

Reactions

learn spell

when Scylla sees another creature cast a spell, she can memorize the spell, adding it to her list of one day use spells. Once she casts the spell, she forgets it.

legendary actions

Scylla can take 3 legendary actions, choosing from the options below. Only one legendary action option can be used at a time and only at the end of another creature's turn. Scylla regains spent legendary actions at the start of its turn.

bite

Scylla makes a bite attack.

Fetch!

Scylla rushes in a direction of her choice, moving up to half of her speed, not provoking opportunity attacks. Any creature within ten feet of her must make a DC 23 dexterity saving throw or fall prone.

Taunting Laughter (costs 2 actions)

Scylla laughs maniacally at one creature within 30 feet of her, angering and frightening them. That creature must make a DC 20 wisdom saving throw or become enraged and determined to fight and Kill Scylla, ignoring all other dangers. A creature that fails this Saving throw by 5 or more is instead Frightened of Scylla.

some philosophers believe that evil does not exist, and that “Evil,” is simply a moral view differing from your own. Those Philosophers are wrong, for Evil does lurk right beneath the waves…

 

Ancient poems warn of a narrow channel of water so treacherous that death touches all who approach. Sailors must choose to risk their ship, traveling close to the monstrous whirlpool Charybdis, or instead hug the rocky shoals where dwells a creature some say is made from the nightmares of all men.

Scylla, they call her, Horror of the Sea. No ship that dares sail in her waters goes unscathed. Those that cling to survival whisper panicked tales of enormous black tentacles tipped with slavering hound heads ravaging whole ships to splinters with pitiless precision. Though it's her laughter, they say, that's most horrible; child-like, delighting in blood soaked murder as men are dragged into the dark abyss.

Poets have tried to romanticize this beast, to provide some humanity to her monstrosity. They write she was once a beautiful Naiad, wronged by a jealous priestess and transformed. Yet the old poems say she was born this way, beget by gods full of jealousy and loathing; dropped into the sea to terrorize mankind.

Would that she had remained in the sea, but the nightmare has come ashore. Dragged by dog-headed tentacles she roams our streets, plucks us from our beds, and fills the night with disturbing laughter. Scylla has come, and not even the gods can help us.

 Oh Vitus, I finished Scylla V.2 in case you missed it.

Oh by the way, I saw some pretty news about One D&D. Apparently they're setting up a program where people that own a copy of the 2014 core books will be able to get a discounted price on the new books. (Great article about it here) Seems a bit complicated, but I'm guessing they've run the numbers and figure they'll get more from people that are already invested in 5e than trying to get a new crowd invested. Really forward to it.

Scylla block looks interesting. And the learning spell stuff could influence things different from normal. (Having multiple using high-level spells also allows her to use them against them.)

Anways, gonna see about getting to page 4200

You see 42 is the answer to the ultimate question of life, the universe, everything page 4200 is like that but 1,000 times better.

It's quite mystical really. This is why I'm trying to learn how to speak dolphin.

I've also got a bunch of cheese for the mice. Can't let them scurry around all willy nilly.

Although, ironically, I didn't actually like Hitchiker's Guide all that much. (I just like the references.)

I hath returned!

Guys, I'm not gonna do any April Fools jokes today...

APRIL FOOLS!!!!!1!!

 Honestly, I’m probably gonna stick to 5e. One D&D just feels kinda complicated. I don’t want to have to relearn the system only for it to be basically the same
