SPECIAL ABILITIES
Blunderbuss (Ex) K. Rool’s blunderbuss is a firearm that deals bludgeoning with a range of 80 feet and a misfire value of 1. A creature hit by K. Rool’s blunderbuss must succeed at a DC 16 Reflex save or be pushed back 10 feet. K. Rool can also use his blunderbuss to attempt to pull a creature closer as a move action. K. Rool targets a creature within 30 feet. The creature must succeed at a DC 16 Reflex save or be pulled 10 feet closer towards K. Rool. The save DC is Dexterity-based.
Crown Toss (Ex) K. Rool’s can toss his crown in a 20-foot line as a standard action. Every creature in the line must succeed at a DC 16 Reflex save or take 2d8 points of bludgeoning damage and be knocked prone. A creature that succeeds its save takes half this damage and is not knocked prone.
Gut Check (Su) K. Rool can anticipate getting hit by an attack as a standard action. Until the start of his next turn, he can reflect an attack that hits him as an immediate action. A reflected attack deals no damage to K. Rool and instead hits the attacker, dealing the normal damage for the attack. If the attack is a critical hit, it deals the standard damage to the attacker instead.
King K. Rool is the leader of a terrible group of vile reptiles known as the Kremlings. He is known for his malicious deeds, like the kidnapping of local heroes and the theft of large hoards of bananas. His motives for his evil actions are relatively unclear, but he is always undertaking wicked schemes. He is a particularly powerful foe and is known to be able to shrug off even the mightiest of blows. Although he is a king, K. Rool has also disguised himself as other figures, including a pirate and a scientist. K. Rool is the arch-nemesis of Donkey Kong and keeps returning to bring evil upon DK and his friends, even after facing defeat at the hands of the ape several times over.
That’s it for this week! If you end up introducing King K. Rool into your game or you have any request for a future Monstrous Physique, please drop me a line at KnowDirection@hotmail.com.
