Malar does not like druids.

Okay Loremonkeys, need you to dig out your books for a few minutes for this one.

Can anyone tell me some creatures existing in Realmspace that are on par with the fabled Tarrasque? In terms of power and/or rarity I mean.

I heard Leviathan as one from a certain kinky DM *cough*KHY!*cough*,but besides that, the only thing I heard were just quasidieties. So a little help and thanks in advance.

- Fey don't breath /because/ they have no organs; are they immune to sneak attacks/Crits?

A rogue can sneak attack only living creatures with discernible anatomies—undead, constructs, oozes, plants, and incorporeal creatures lack vital areas to attack.

Mechanically? Not a chance. But otherwise too, I don't think so. See:



Fey aren't in that list, so they can be sneaked. Safe to assume if they're sneakable, they're crit-able.

Fae, or faeries, as many like to be called, are creatures of any size, shape, texture or smell, that exemplify and inhabit natural wonder. They go by many names, like “Green Folk”, “Fair Folk”, “People of Peace”, sometimes “Wee folk”.

Species of Fey

There are many, many different species of fey and the term "fey" seems to simply mean any creature whose origins are tied to the Feywild. Fomorians, Gnomes, and Hags are all examples of fey, though less commonly identified as such than fairies, sylphs, or dryads. However, perhaps the best known examples of fey are the elven races: drow, eladrin, and true elves. Until recently all three of these races were considered one and the same, though recent events have caused scholars to realize that in fact, the term elf is a misnomer when applied to all three, though it is still a common way of categorizing them given their shared heritage and close cultural and lingusitic relationships.

- According to the articles in Dragon Magazine, the mortality/immortality of Fey is up to DM discretion - what's the ruling in Amia?

Challenge Rating: 30

Alignment: Always lawful evil
Advancement: 67-80 HD (Large); 81-100 HD (Huge)

An atropal’s natural weapons are treated as epic, evil, and lawful-aligned for the purpose of overcoming damage reduction.
Combat
Spell-Like Abilities

At will—animate dead, blasphemy, create greater undead, create undead, cone of cold, desecrate, greater dispel magic, finger of death, greater invisibility, plane shift, slay living, speak with dead, spectral hand, greater teleport, unholy aura; 5/day—haste, project image, weird. Caster level 30th; save DC 26 + spell level.

The save DCs are Charisma-based
Rebuke/Command Undead (Su)

Atropals can rebuke or command undead as a cleric with a level equal to the atropal’s HD + 6.
Negative Energy Aura (Su)

A 30-foot-radius spread negative energy aura spreads from each atropal. All undead in the field (including the atropal) are treated as if having turn resistance +20 and a negative energy version of fast healing 20. Living creatures in the aura are treated as having ten negative levels unless they have some sort of negative energy protection or protection from evil. Creatures with 10 or fewer HD or levels perish (and, at the atropal’s option, rise as spectres under the atropal’s command 1 minute later).
Constitution Drain (Su)

When the atropal hits a living opponent with a touch attack, the opponent takes 5 points of permanent Constitution drain, or 10 points on a critical hit. The atropal heals 20 points of damage, or 40 points on a critical hit, whenever it drains Constitution, gaining any excess as temporary hit points. These temporary hit points last a maximum of 1 hour. The attack allows a Fortitude save (DC 59). The DC is Charisma-based.
Energy Drain (Su)

When the atropal hits with a ranged touch attack (a ray of darkness that it shoots from one eye to a range of 400 feet), the resultant energy drain bestows four negative levels, or eight negative levels on a critical hit. For each negative level bestowed on an opponent, the atropal heals 10 points of damage, or 20 on a critical hit, gaining any excess as temporary hit points. These temporary hit points last a maximum of 1 hour. After 24 hours have passed, the afflicted opponent must attempt a Fortitude save (DC 59) for each negative level. If successful, the negative level goes away with no harm to the creature; otherwise, the creature’s level decreases by one. The DC is Charisma-based.
Regeneration (Ex)

Atropals take normal damage from good weapons or sentient weapons (or otherwise living weapons).
Summon Nightcrawler (Sp)

Five times per day an atropal can summon a nightcrawler.
Abomination Traits

Immune to polymorphing, petrification, and other form-altering attacks; not subject to energy drain, ability drain, ability damage, or death from massive damage; immune to mind-affecting effects; fire resistance 20; cold resistance 20; nondetection; true seeing at will; blindsight 500 ft.; telepathy out to 1,000 ft.
Undead Traits

Immune to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease, death effects, necromantic effects, mind-affecting effects, and any effect requiring a Fortitude save unless it also works on objects. Not subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, ability drain, or energy drain. Negative energy heals. Not at risk of death from massive damage, but destroyed at 0 hit points or less. Darkvision 60 ft. Cannot be raised; resurrection works only if creature is willing.

The rift between the snow elves and their cousins stems from the same wars that drove the drow underground. The snow elves were deceived into allowing passage (for a large profit) of the drow through a mountain pass they controlled, not knowing-so they claimed-that the drow were serving Lolth and had recently declared war on their cousin elves. While never formally condemned by their relatives, the snow elves have been universally shunned by them ever since. Valley elves, themselves largely disliked by others, tolerate snow elves perhaps because each views the other as sharing a similar plight-neither race is considered "true elves" by their cousins.

Alright, I'm planning on making a Helmed Horror character with a twist. See, I won't be using the Helmed Horror model. I'll be using this method to make it:

1. I'd make the character a Half-orc or maybe a Human, I've no idea what scale would be best.

2. Make all the parts Null but the chest (click here for the example)

3. I'd then craft the armour into a way that's everything null but the Chest, Bicepts and Hands (click here for the example)

4. Add a helmet and suitable weapon and viola! (click here for the example)

That stuff out of the way, here's some questions:

How are these created?
I am planning on making this one a servant of Mystra, is this lore-approved?
It says here, from the NWN wiki that: Helmed horrors are suits of empty armor imbued with magical life and purpose. They make tireless and extremely effective guardians, soldiers, and bounty hunters. , Any suitable suggestions to what it's master would use it for?
The Horrors themselves are constructs, and plenty of constructs have at least a bit of personality, how would a Helmed Horror have one and what would be suitable?

That's about it, thanks in advance

Nope, though I can't say how much of it will end up in the final work. I guess the starting point would be this: at which point, and why, did Snow Elves become a race of their own? Moreover, why are they found on Forstakkr primarily, and some in the High Ice and (possibly) the Great Glacier? Go ahead and shoot different suggestions in my inbox. While the Crown Wars are convenient, I feel they are over-used and over-represented as a period in elven history. Planar travel, the realm of Faerie, the First Flowering, the Founding Time, even something as recent as the Time of Troubles are all viable alternatives.

Gold and Blue, I think.

The hue of the armor (or robes) denotes the rank of the wearer

Athestically, maybe allow armour parts for the shoulders?

Lore wise I always see a helmed horror being like a servant of (no pun intended) helm. Strict in duty, no remorse, no love, no joy, just duty. Everything taken far to seriously.

For the lore, it's quite possiable the Helm Horror is a product of wild magic during the Time of Troubles. The frayed weave could have warped its magic bonds with its master, and caused it to gain freedom and a sentiant self, rather then servitude. This also means the wild magic could have given it the ability to learn, develop and possiably even gain extra bits to its personality. This also add's weakness in the form of dispel magic, which allows wild magic to function normally for 1d4 minutes.

All this lore can be found in the forgotten realms campaign setting, under wild magic.

Creation

The process of creating helmed horrors was something of a bad secret for many years. While unknown to the magical community at large, a great number of clerics of [[Bane], liches and evil wizards knew well how to create theas constructs. [1] It is now uncommon knowladge. A powerful spellcaster, with knowladge of both construct creation and arms and armor creation is needed, and a special workroom, along with the spells needed for the ritual.[3]
