I was thinking about the cactus full of spiders again.

Didn't you say somewhere that Heebies would be the last monster that attacks with swarms of things?

And I've made like 2-5 since then

I don't have any that do spiders yet; or centipedes, ticks, beetles or lice!

You should definitely do one that makes centipedes. It could be called Coleoptrap or Centinal or- I don't know, you're better at coming up with names than me.

So now that all the classes have elaborated, let’s talk about what disciples we'll pick!

A quick summary.

--The college of Biology (SCIENCE!)--

GENETICS- This disciple is the best at monster creation, even if they are making brand new designs of their own creation. They can't do much in combat though.

SURGERY- This disciple is the best at attaching parts to their monsters that make them tougher and deadlier. They're also good at healing in combat.

--The college of Physics (GENIUS!)--

ELECTRICITY- A good generalist disciple that can fling lightning at opponents and revive monsters with ease. Also good with semi-mechanical monsters.

ENGINEERING- This disciple focuses on turning themselves into cyborg killing machines and are the best for working with semi-mechanical monsters.

--The college of Philosophy (MY HEAD!)--

ALCHEMY- Uses potions to change the composition of creatures in the middle of a fight. This is handy for making creatures stronger or weaker to various attacks.

NECROMIZATION- Turns corpses into absurdly sturdy flesh puppets. Stereotypically overly dramatic and goth.

--The college of Psychology (TALKIES!)--

PSIONICS- Mentally attacks their opponents sanity. Usually spiritual and believe Psionics to be the highest power.

MANAGEMENT- Use motivational speaking to deliver buffs. Tend to hide extreme saviness under a seemingly harmless businessperson persona.


I was thinking of playing as a character who specializes in Botanicals, so Genetics seems like the most obvious. Especially considering how that class of monsters is a bit small compared to the others and can benefit from some new creations.

I also think Engineering, Alchemy, and Management all seem like a riot and I'd love to make characters for those disciples too.

Engineers actually can focus instead of mechanizing their monsters over themselves; instead of me having to make a whole lot more robot and cyborg creatures that class can give machine parts to any other monster at all!

I like to think Electricians embed lots of Frankenstein bolts, staples and antennae in their monsters for enhanced conductivity.

I intend to go with surgery and to do plenty of organ theft.
I mean, it would be pretty great to give my monster the acid spit glands from that variety of festerling, and an explodey organ from a Klumpty, and probably all sorts of other things.
New limbs are cool too I guess, but like...
doomkidneys!

EDIT: So I just realized that the acid is bile, not any sort of special spitting acid.
Though I suppose a bile pipe/pump could be installed in a monster rather easily, so long as it's a monster that actually produces bile.

I'd probably fall under Genetics most likely. Making new new things is always fun... *laughs maniacally* Possibly Surgery as well, but if not, just Genetics.

Too bad most of the sea life is vampiric, besides some Vampire Spawn and others. I'm might have a tough time... -__-

Surgery, Alchemy, or Genetics here; though I came up with a fun idea for a Manager, I'm not particularly interested in playing the class.

I'm going to be a Alchemist! Because i like changing the game in the middle of combat.

So I was wondering what music I could listen to while going through Mortasheen, and within a fraction of a second, it hit me like a gold brick and a splash of lemon. Primus.

Then something else hit me like a gold brick and a splash of lemon, sending a shard of my skull into the part of my brain that controls bowel movement. There are a bunch of side projects Les Claypool (the bassist and singer for Primus) did on the side that are pretty much other Primus albums. Now, so that I can avoid any further cranial damage via gold brick with a splash of lemon, what other bands are out there that are weird enough to listen to while exploring this weird world?

Creature Feature, Rob Zombie, and Oingo Boingo's "Weird Science" all come to mind.

Wrong.

The Ted Miller Band is the official music of the mortasheen rpg.

Funny thing is I was thinking of assembling a playlist of music I personally thought fit the setting best, so I'll probably do that.

It's probably going to be sillier than you expect and mostly video game tunes.
