Thoughts on new quest and (maybe new class)

[dragonruler]

So I was bored and figured I would sit and go through my Monster Manual that has been collecting dust for a little while now when I came across two creatures that I found fascinating and wondered if there was any hopes of getting these creatures introduced into DDO.

The first creature I came across was Madusa. Of course we've all heard the legend of Madusa and how whomever she looks at turns to stone yada yada yada....anyways.. I thought, "hmmmm this could be a nice little addition to the desert area to bring new light to it so as more people will go to it besides just running the old stuff on epic for us vets and what not.

Now forgive me my information is wrong I'm just going by the 3.5 rules in the MM.

Not sure about the Ebberon Lore on Medusa, as I dislike Ebberon Lore.

However this monster could easily be put into DDO, as its regular effects have already been added to the gave. Its not hard to code in that she is like a beholder, changing her "cone" of vision to fort save or turned to stone.

Its not a bad monster. I wouldn't mind seeing it in a quest.

Then I wondered well what other creatures could get paired with this sinister creature...and then I ran into the Yuan-ti and i thought that'd be perfect... woman with snakes on head and snake-like people how much better combo could it get? So I thought maybe there was someway we could implement this one as well (which btw this creature can also be a playable class )

Yea i mean they have the mechanics for it (anti-magic cone = pretrification stare), and im sure the design of her wouldnt be too hard and with the monsters i paired her with they could almost use the exact mechanics they used for the Demon Queen on them since they are "snake-like" creatures.
