Kaiju Warlord[edit]
Kaiju are enormous monsters that have a ravenous desire for damage and devastation. They live in remote, frequently hostile locations, like on volcanic islands, in the icy polar regions, or at the sea floor, where they hibernate for a large portion of the year. Every now and then, a kaiju is roused from its hibernation and sets off to explore the land, frequently traveling hundreds of miles in the process.
Creating a Kaiju Warlord[edit]
- Quick Build
Start With: Race: Goliath (for Strength, Constitution, and "Stone’s Endurance") Alternative: Dragonborn (for breath synergy), or Simic Hybrid (mutation vibes)
Background: Outlander (for the primal, beast-commanding flavor and Survival skills)
Key Ability Scores:1st – Strength (for smashing) 2nd – Constitution (for beam charges, tanking, and survivability) 3rd – Charisma (for commanding kaiju and intimidation)
