This is a set of bad guys, the Nephilim they are called, for my d20 Moder/Future campaign. They are inspired from the Kython from the Book of Vile Deeds, the Bug from the Alien movies, and the baddies from Wing Commander: Prophecy. DO you think my players are in trouble? (tee hee)

 

Now I ust need to write up their star ships and fighter craft. :)

Harvey

Bloody hell Harvey. The adult Nephilim is a beast! :p

Thank you. Just wait til you give him class levels, equipment, and a star fighter. ;)

Nephilim are sweet. I want pics with those groovy weapons!

Thank you.  Just wait til you give him class levels, equipment, and a star fighter.  :p

That's what I was thinking about when I was reading it. Do they have a preferred class?

  • Author

In d20 Modern there are no preferred or favored classes. In normal DnD I would say Psychic Warrior or maybe Fighter.

 

They do tend to take levels as Tough and Smart then taking levels in Dreadnaught (d20 Future), Soldier (d20 Modern), or Dogfighter (d20 Future).

Harvey

Aw, c'mon Harve...you gotta let us play your campaign. You know, there's got to be something to counter the Obsidian Diplomacy Game 1. ^_^

Is the name Nephilim from the Avernum/Exile games?

Oh, okay. :D Thanks, I didn't know that.

Thanks. What sort of gear do you plan to equip them with for your campaign?

Beyond their evolved weapons that are part of them not much. They really don't need too much beyond that. I still need to write up their starships. One of the aspects of their technology is that they directly link to their ships. Also they tend to be insectoid and... well alive.

 

I am getting my inspiration for their ships from the Shadow from Babylon 5. They were pretty damn cool.

Harvey

Sounds pretty badass.

Don't forget the Alien ship that the Nostomo hears the distress call from the first film ...

The Nephilim, also known as the Grigori, were actually the crossbreed children of the Angel Shemyaza and his followers with humans in several apocryphal writings of both the Jewish and early Christian faiths.

And I find it kind of funny

I find it kind of sad

The dreams in which I'm dying

Are the best I've ever had

... And also the very lame baddie in the repugnantly execrable last Tombraider game ...

Ah.... I had heard the term Grigori before.

And what does God think about all this running about fraternising with the mortals? Obviously there is some complicity, bearing in mind the omnescience and omnipotence ...

 

What happens when a devil and an angel mate, I wonder ... isn't Lucifer just a fallen Arch-angel? ... if that's the case, I'm sure Beelzebub can still canoodle with the best of them ...

There are some extrordinary conspiracy theories about these forbidden children of angel and human cross-breeding, and that this bloodline will be at war with the Merovingian line in the end-times. Some also suggest the Catholic Church is secretly controlled by the Grigori line.

 

I suggest that pie is mighty fine!

What's the cleric caste, from the Torah / OT ? Can't think of their name off hand, and I don't have a Bible handy ... it's all in the Pentateuch, Leviticus or Exodus from memory ...

Some believe the original Cleric caste became the Knights Templar or Jannisaries, which may or may not have become the leaders of the Free Masons.

Baphomet!

Isn't that the image they use for the Devil on the Ryder-Waite tarot deck?

 

And isn't that a pagan god of wisdom?
