Quell, Cinderspawn and Wheep

[Claver]

Does anyone know anything about these monsters that are supposed to be out in the next update?

I understand Quell interfere with a clerics ability to communicate with his or her diety so that may mean clearics can't cast healing spells when they are around.

From the discussion of this topic on the Risia boards, just to bring the info over here.

Cinderspawns are fire based undead monsters as you said. Though it deals cold damage (like fireshield (cold) ) and drains charisma. Quells can prevent clerics from casting. Wheeps cry poison that they use for their physical attack and their crying can cause people to be shaken

For the new Monsters, here are visual references, for you more visual types:

Cinderspawn
Quell
Wheeps

I don't have the books but here is some lore stuff.

Quell Lore
Libris Mortis

Characters with ranks in Knowledge (religion) can learn more about quells. When a character makes a successful skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from lower DCs.

DC Result
13 This shrouded, vaguely humanoid spirit is a quell, easily distinguished by the dark symbols floating in the air around it. This result reveals all undead traits and the incorporeal subtype. Quells speak Infernal and Common.
18 Quells are malevolent spirits that despise all life and the gods that grant it. Fortunately, however, they are not very powerful individually. They flee from daylight, which renders them powerless.
23 A quell can exert its unholy power to temporarily sever the spiritual ties between a divine spellcaster and his or her divine patron. Affected divine spellcasters lose their spellcasting abilities for a full day. Because of this, quells are often recruited to serve more powerful undead masters.
28 An affected character can regain his or her divine spells more quickly by receiving an atonement spell or by being attacked by the quell. Multiple quells can pool their powers, severing the spiritual ties of more powerful clerics and their ilk.


Cinderspawn Lore
Libris Mortis

Characters with ranks in Knowledge (the planes) can learn more about cinderspawn. When a character makes a successful skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from lower DCs.

DC Result
20 This gaunt black humanoid, flickering with dim blue flames, is a cinderspawn, the undead remains of a fire elemental. This result reveals all undead traits and the fire subtype.
25 Cinderspawn despise the warmth of living creatures and seek to snuff it out whenever they encounter it.
30 A cinderspawn is shrouded in icy blue flames that deal cold damage to any creature that touches them.
35 Divine spellcasters who can either turn or rebuke both undead and fire creatures find it particularly easy to turn or rebuke cinderspawn.

Wheep Lore
Libris Mortis

Characters with ranks in Knowledge (religion) can learn more about wheeps. When a character makes a successful skill check, the following lore is revealed, including the information from lower DCs.

DC Result
21 This wizened corpse is a wheep, distinguished by the black ichor leaking from its empty eye sockets. This result reveals all undead traits.

26 Wheeps are usually encountered in the service of more powerful undead. They attack with their sharp claws and fangs. These creatures also near-continually wail a supernatural dirge that can leave those who hear it pale with fright. A wheep’s tough body deflects glancing blows, but magic piercing weapons can prove effective.

31 The tears oozing from a wheep’s eyes are poisonous, and this black bile ends up splattered and smeared all over the wheep’s claws and fangs, A wheep leaves an ebon trail of tears wherever they go, but the poison loses its potency after an hour. Wheeps are resistant to turning.

36 Until a wheep is destroyed, its wounds heal with startling speed.

[DKerrigan]

I may just try that... Of course one the the evil outsider banes I was using was a cursespewer, so I'll have to do some tests on the little guys in PoP to see if it's worth not cursing them...

Though it is pretty likely that we'll see mostly undead, if not all, with this update.

Thats so cool they need to add that Bone Naga, Caller in Darkness, Gorgon, Ogre Executioner, or even Tsucora Quori man that site has some realy cool figures.

they need to add this to

"Jannys Shadowgaunt"
Female Drow Lich/Greater Iron Golem
Finding this drow lich's lair in the Underdark is difficult enough without bringing in the phylactery that stores her life force: A greater iron golem, cast in the shape of a giant mechanical spider, lurks somewhere in the world above.
