Frontier Monster: Shantien
🕑 Added 2024-03-27 02:49:29 +0000 UTCHello Everyone!
This months winner was Shantien! I had no idea what I was getting into when this one was selected and it was not easy to make. I did have to leave out a few moves just to keep myself at one and one-half pages for this stat block . When doing my research the shantien was considered to be as powerful or close to being as strong as the black dragon category of elder dragons. So I built its stat block to be just that.
The shantien is a CR 22 monster, but it is a mythic monster with three phases in total. So this combat encounter is Three CR 22's one after the other effectively. It goes from a fairly standard lagiacrus like battle, to amatsu meets narwa, until its final phase, which I had to figure out a way for that transition to make sense (check Phase 3 mythic trait to see how).
The loot table holds a lot of new effects thanks to all the frontier ones you don't see in the standard MH video games.
In the .Zip attached, you will find a PDF for the shantien and a token used for online play. Within the PDF you will find its stat block and loot table that is usable with the rule set found within Amellwind's Guide to Monster Hunting located in the description of this Patreon page.
Hope you like it and as always, thank you all for your support!
