Creating Factions, got some questions, share your factions!

One last thing on Monsters, in the 1st Age especially; Monsters really let you design and create with an amazing amount of flexibility. I have playtesters still coming up with crazy and fun stuff out of monsters all the time. I think going into them either as a class or even as a faction can create some of the most amazing customizing miniature projects.

I can say that quite a few factions from the playtesters include a Level 3 or Level 5 Monster in their factions. These are guys that have spent countless hours seeing what they can possibly make within the system. They surprise me quite often.

If only I can keep them out of it for a bit and turn them towards creating tanks and future vehicles.

Awesome, looking forward to it. Thanks for the quick response and all the time and effort you are still putting in.

Monsters X is the ability you are needing. It is most often a class trait in all the domains except Biests, who can take Monsters 4 as a Faction Trait.

So head into Biests, take the trait Monster 4 trait.... replaces the Biest starting requirements and gives you a new starting set of characteristics. This means you get 4 faction traits to select faction traits from.

When selecting your faction traits you can select them from either the Monsters of Myth and Legend section or the Biest Domain. This can get quite expensive on point costs and most often this is the biggest hurdle! However you have great access to the other domains through hybrids etc.

When creating classes you are using the Biests Classes.

Page 81 is where you want to start go starting with the trait Monstrous Beast.

The Oni in the Core rules are built in this way. Monsters have some very powerful traits and you will find that they also are probably the most expensive factions.

I will be wrapping up the Creating Biests video in the next couple days. I will do a shorter video talking about Monsters probably right afterwards. So figure Friday/Saturday.

Interesting note, I had all these videos complete and then lost a hard drive about 3 weeks ago. had to redo the video editing for each one. So I am just wrapping them up and re-finishing each one. So Monsters will should be released this week.

Does taking Monstrous Beasts as a faction trait for the Biest Domain replace the mandatory build requirements? Do you simply select in accordance with Monster 4 across monsters of myth and legend and biests while skipping the genetic, kingdom, etc...

I'm probably missing something.

Is there a short example of how to do the faction wide monstrous beasts?

Most excellent. I am looking forward to see what people are creating. I am in conversation right now on the side with someone creating a Spartan faction. Deciding between going Humanoid or Fey (Heroism and Order).

Going to start mine as soon as my forms are don'e printing, SOOO excited!
