Rumia, Orin and Udongein first versions are up!
Rumia is the first of the named lower CR creatures I've done. She's intended to be an introduction to how Youkai work; she's immune to physical attacks, and has darkvision, giving her an advantage at night. She can also summon darkness; because she herself cannot see through it, it's more effective when used to confuse and disorient people, allowing her to take on a target of her choice. Party coordination is needed to take her on; martial types who can't damage her need to find a way to keep her away from the group's casters, such as grappling, or getting in her way. Mages need to stay alive, as without them, the party cannot stop her.
Rin "Orin" Kaenbyou is also available now. As a nekoromancer, she summons hordes of Zombie Fairies to drown the enemy in bodies. Zombie Fairies can't be kept down forever, and the only way to get rid of them is to defeat Orin herself. Obviously, the party will want to focus her down as fast as possible before they are overwhelmed, so Orin will want to be as slippery as possible, staying away from danger unless she has an opening she can exploit. The party needs to either corner her, or lure her out.
Finally, there's Reisen Udongein Inaba. Udonge relies on playing smart. She's got a few tools to split up enemies, but is at her best against a disorganized group. She's not the strongest fighter up front, so she needs to use whatever advantages she can to turn the tides in her favor. Defeating or being defeated by her is dependent on which side uses their surroundings to the best of their ability. As with Rumia above, Reisen has better senses than most, giving her the advantage in low-visibility conditions.
