View source for Ripgore (3.5e Monster)

=== Combat ===

Whenever anyone unauthorized finds their way to Ripgore's station, he will do his utmost to rip, flay and butcher them painfully and make their testicles the flavouring element of tomorrow's dinner soup. Despite being morbidly obese, Ripgore is a decorated Blood War veteran and knows a thing or two about martial combat.

Ripgore counts as having 13 [[SRD:Hit Dice|HD]] for the purpose of shrugging off HD-dependent effects.

Ripgore's natural weapons and any weapon he wields are treated as [[SRD:Evil Effect|evil]]-aligned for the purpose of overcoming [[SRD:Damage Reduction|damage reduction]]. 

'''{{Anchor|Meat Hook}}:''' Ripgore's signature weapon, his left arm-mounted meat hook is a rusty, jagged scythe, attached to his wrist with a heavy chain mounted inside of his left arm. The meat hook is effectively a +1 [[SRD:Unholy|unholy]] [[Stabbing (3.5e Equipment)|stabbing]] weapon of the [[SRD:Piercing Weapon|piercing]] and [[SRD:Slashing Weapon|slashing]] type, with a base damage of 3d6 and a threat range of 19-20/&times;2. On top of regular melee attacks, Ripgore may use his meat hook to perform a ranged attack to non-adjacent enemies within 30 feet of him. 

'''{{Anchor|Bile Wave}} {{Ex}}:''' By exciting his highly active stomach, Ripgore can vomit a 30-foot line of highly corrosive bile as a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]]. Creatures caught within the stream are dealt 8d6 [[SRD:Acid Effect|acid]] damage ([[SRD:Reflex|Reflex]] DC 27 half, and must also make a DC 28 [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] save or become [[SRD:Sickened|sickened]] for 1 minute. Creatures that fail this save by 10 points or more (on a roll of 16 or lower) become [[SRD:Nauseated|nauseated]] for 1 [[SRD:Round|round]] as well as [[SRD:Sickened|sickened]] for 1 minute. After using this ability, Ripgore must wait for 1d4+1 [[SRD:Round|rounds]] to use it again.

Ripgore's stomach acid reacts violently with wood and mineral matter, creating a rising airborne vapour in its wake that painfully burns the lungs. Starting from 1 [[SRD:Round|round]] after this ability is used and lasting for 1d4+1 [[SRD:Round|rounds]], any creature occupying one of the 5-foot squares the bile wave passed through takes 2d6 points of [[SRD:Acid Effect|acid]] damage ([[SRD:Reflex|Reflex]] DC 28 half), and must make yet another [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] save to prevent [[SRD:Nauseated|nausea]] and [[SRD:Sickened|sickening]] as described above. Creatures that do not need to breathe may resist this effect.

The aftervapours from a bile wave can be dissipated with a large amount of water, typically enough to render the floor blank. 

'''[[Maneuver-Like Abilities (3.5e Creature Ability)|Maneuver-Like Abilities]]:''' Ripgore possesses several unique maneuver-like abilities. He may choose to expend a [[SRD:Move Action|move action]] to recover an expended maneuver, but he cannot initiate a maneuver in the same turn as that maneuver is recovered. Save DCs, where applicable, are [[SRD:Strength|Strength]]-based.

:'''Chain Swipe:''' As a [[SRD:Standard Actions|standard action]], Ripgore makes a melee attack roll with his [[#Meat Hook|meat hook]] against every enemy in a 15-foot cone. Creatures hit take its weapon damage in [[SRD:Bludgeoning Weapon|bludgeoning]] damage and are effectively [[SRD:Bull Rush|bull rushed]] at a check modifier of +12. If Ripgore uses the [[SRD:Power Attack|Power Attack]] feat in combination with this maneuver, it gains the penalty to attack it took as a bonus to all bull rushing checks. Any creature so moved is blasted back 5 feet for every 5 points by which Ripgore's check result beats the defender's check result, and dealt an additional 1d6 points of damage for every 5 feet traveled. A creature moved by this ability must make a DC 25 [[SRD:Reflex|Reflex]] save or fall [[SRD:Prone|prone]].

:'''Disembowel:''' As a [[SRD:Standard Action|standard action]], Ripgore makes a devastating melee attack roll with his [[#Meat Hook|meat hook]] against a single enemy within range. The damage of this attack is multiplied by 1 plus the number of different status conditions currently active on the target, from among the following; [[SRD:Blinded|blinded]], [[SRD:Dazed|dazed]], [[SRD:Stunned|stunned]], [[SRD:Nauseated|nauseated]] and [[SRD:Prone|prone]]. This multiplication works the same as that of critical hits.

:'''Gutrend:''' On a successful ranged attack with his [[#Meat Hook|meat hook]] against a target within 30 feet, Ripgore makes a [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] check, at a +4 size bonus, opposed to the target's [[SRD:Strength|Strength]] or [[SRD:Dexterity|Dexterity]] check. Ripgore may immediately pull the target into a square adjacent to him as a [[SRD:Move Action|move action]] and follow up with an immediate attack from his [[Bonesaw (3.5e Equipment)|bonesaw]]. If this attack hits, it deals double damage and also forces the target to make a DC 25 [[SRD:Fortitude|Fortitude]] save or be [[SRD:Stunned|stunned]] for 2 [[SRD:Round|rounds]].

:'''Reckless Dash:''' As a full-round action, Ripgore may charge in a straight line, automatically using the [[SRD:Overrun|Overrun]] attack on any creature in its way at a +16 modifier. Creatures too large to be overrun are [[SRD:Bull Rush|bull rushed]] instead. Creatures may choose to try and avoid Ripgore's charge, but must make a DC 25 [[SRD:Reflex|Reflex]] save to do so. Ripgore's movement continues until an enemy beats his opposed overrun or bull rush check, until he meets a sufficiently solid obstacle or wall, until he reaches the end of his bull rush against a large opponent, or until it has traveled four times its movement speed (standardly 80 feet).

'''Spell-Like Abilities:''' At will&mdash;''[[SRD:Blindness/Deafness|blindness/deafness]]'' (DC 18), ''[[SRD:Create Food and Water|create food and water]]'', ''[[SRD:Greater Dispel Magic|greater dispel magic]]''; 3/day&mdash;''[[SRD:Fireball|fireball]]'' (DC 19), ''[[SRD:Magic Circle against Good|magic circle against good]]''; 1/day&mdash;''[[SRD:Cloudkill|cloudkill]]'' (DC 21), ''[[SRD:Fear (Spell)|fear]]'' (DC 20), ''[[SRD:Poison|poison]]'' (DC 20). [[SRD:Caster Level|Caster level]] 11th. Save DCs are [[SRD:Charisma|Charisma]]-based.

'''{{Anchor|Unholy Feast}} {{Su}}:''' By working hard in his kitchen for 2 hours, Ripgore can produce the most fantastic of feasts... for demons and villains. This ability functions like the ''[[SRD:Heroes' Feast|heroes' feast]]'' spell, except that it also makes all natural weapons and weapons wielded by any partaking creature count as [[SRD:Evil Effect|evil]]-aligned and [[SRD:Unholy|unholy]] for the duration of the effect.

'''''{{Anchor|Summon}} Demons {{Sp}}:''''' Once per day Ripgore can automatically summon 2d6 [[SRD:Hell Hound|hell hounds]], 1 [[SRD:Nessian Warhound|Nessian warhound]] or 1 [[SRD:Vrock|vrock]]. This ability is the equivalent of a 6th-level spell.

'''The Legacy Lives On {{Ex}}:''' If Ripgore fails a saving throw against a spell or effect that would kill or destroy him outright, he instead takes damage as though he suffered a ''[[SRD:Disintegrate|disintegrate]]'' spell as cast by a spellcaster with the appropriate [[SRD:Caster Level|caster level]].

'''Throw Off the Disability {{Ex}}:''' If Ripgore is targeted by a non-instantaneous effect or harmful status condition, he can recover far quicker from it. For the purpose of throwing off status conditions or control impairing effects such as being [[SRD:Slow|slowed]], [[SRD:Confusion|confused]], [[SRD:Stunned|stunned]], [[SRD:Deafened|deafened]] and the like, one [[SRD:Round|round]] counts as two rounds. Regardless of its legacy bonus, a legacy monster is completely immune to any negative effect that only lasts one [[SRD:Round|round]].
