Yeah, but who can afford to get a handful of them. I have one from DE, and every time I've used them in RPG, it was always by the swarm. Just a thought

Carrion Crawler should be uncommon at most. Common is overkill. But yes, it's nice to have a few for an encounter.

For me, it's gotta be the Large Fiendish Centipede.

They're perfect: A large critter, but with few hit points. Also a prime subject for summoning spells.

Although a horse or mounted man-at-arms would be boffo.

I think that an ooze would be great. Easy sculpt and color. The only ooze so far is the rare Ochre Jelly. The oozes are the only type of creature with only 1 miniature so far (deathless already has two; even subtypes of humanoids like dragonborn and xeph have more minis!). It's definitely time for another ooze. Why not make a large one and make it common. (We're still allowed to dream, aren't we? Well here goes:) Think about the possibility of a common Gelatinous Cube!!! I know, I know... Transparent and all that... An empty one (or even hollow one to save on the transparent plastic AND add the benefit of being able to "feed" your GC with other minis) could be done, though... (crossing fingers, toes, arms and legs!)

Other things I think they could make as commons are Dire Tigers, Large Monstrous Centipede (none so far, regardless of size!), and maybe more Large Duergar. I, myself, particularly like the last idea! We can't have too many large duergar!!!

I thought they weren't going to do large commons for DDM? Why did WotC change its mind? Was there that much of a cry from the community? After reading the articles about how DDM is made, I really don't want a large common. I can't think of anything that can be done in a common slot that I'd want large numbers of. Large minis add a lot of volume to my collection. I only want the extras if they're attractively done, useful minis, which is manageable in an uncommon slot. I also don't want resources in a set devoted away from making the rest of the set snazzy.

That said, I predict some sort of ooze.

I must say that I agree with Faragdar the Wise. I don't have a bunch of storage space, and a whole bunch of larges wouldn't help. I trust that if there is indeed a large common, the design team will make a wise choice on what creature it will be. Storage space and the utility of the large common are my only concerns.

I also like Faragdar's prediction of the large common being an ooze/slime/jelly. That would make it a relatively small large, as well as a useful one.

if it's a common, then it's going to have extremely limited paint...

so mostly black probably....

my guess would be a slug, ooze or some such....

black pudding would be my 'official' guess if someone is taking score

Have to agree that a large common is not something I am really that interested in (storage, paint scheme). However, in keeping in line with the thread it would have to be an ooze (Black Pudding w/o a doubt). That is probably an ok large common if it had to be made.

Give me more MIND FLAYERS!

That's fine... I'm merely agreeing that it will likely be something along those lines...

and for all the folks complaining about storage space for large commons.... use a shoe box.... label it with a sharpie...geez...

I think you'd get people complaining about free money being handed out cause the bills weren't crisp enough.

Or because the bills were folded the wrong way. I think Sulaco has a saying about that....

On the other hand, large commons aren't free money. They're a large mini that is bound to have very low-quality paintjobs and likely will also have inferior-quality sculpts (see the SWM Yuzzum). Combine this with the fact that there are very few Large minis that are encountered in very large (8+) numbers, and you're bound to have a lot of people scratching their heads wondering 'why bother?'

If we do get a large common, I think horse is the most likely candidate. It's a fairly simple sculpt with a small color pallette and most RPGers could use at least a few of them. On top of that, its skirmish cost is sure to be in line with most commons. I think it would be great.

It is sure to be some type of critter or vermin. It would not be a bad thing to introduce beetles either. I just can't see it being a humanoid. Uncommon ogres are pushing it for complexity and cost.

Maybe it'll just be awesome and everyone will be jumping in the air with joy and love in their hearts. People will be hugging in the streets and handing each other little glass bottles of coke.

Personally, I think it's be a black ooze that everyone will nickname "pooh" or something.

You have impeccable taste. I wholly agree, especially since there seems to be practically every other commonly used vermin made or can be proxied for. Centipedes are slightly difficult to proxy for although if it came down to "do or die", like someone else who mentioned it(I could be wrong but I think it was Sulaco who said it), fiedish dire weasels can do the trick due to the pose if you need medium or small centipedes(I forget what size the weasels are) and I guess the Purple Worm can proxy for a huge one, although due to the lack of limbs and fairly bright colour it somewhat saps the effect of fear off the players' faces if you are RPGing but I guess that is what repainting and adding parts is for. Otherwise, a Large Fiendish Centipede is highly welcomed in my book.

A Large Centipide sounds nice, but for practical reasons I would prefer a common club-wielding Ogre/Hill Giant Skeleton.

In my campaign where giants are fairly common, this would really solve my need for a group of large humanoid/giant skeletons that are often raised by my player's necromancer or by enemy necromancers.

This common giant skeleton should be good enough to actually be played as an ogre, troll, verbeeg, or any classic giant skeleton.

The Boneclaw, Minotaur Skeleton, and Skeletal Equiceph have features that are a little too distracting for me to be proxied as giant skeletons. [:p]

How about the ever not-present Gelatinous Cube? It's a simple sculpt of clear plastic (I'm picturing a large square ice cube on a round black base). If WOTC does like they did with the HFE, it would be mostly hollow anyway. And maybe they feel bad that they haven't given us one yet, and are going to make up for it by giving us more than we can stand.

Otherwise, I'd like to see:
Skeletal Horse
Animated table
Large treasure chest shaped Mimic
Large Water Elemental (a simple sculpt like the medium one, just in hollowed out clear plastic)
Large Air Elemental (or fire even, see above commentary)
Giant Snake (everyone hates snakes, and goes well with "Snakes on a Plane")

Large commons, eh? Maybe some kind of large snake? I'm not sure if those are in the RPG, but something like this would be nice for skirmish:

Giant Snake
ANY; 15-20 points
LVL 5; SPD 6; AC 17; HP 40
Melee Attack: +10 (10 + Swallow Whole + Poison)
Type: Large Animal
Special Abilities: Swallow Whole (Destroy Medium or smaller creature, DC 15); Poison (5 damage whenever poisoned creature activates, DC 15); Natural Soul (Melee attack +2 and melee damage +5 when under command by a commander with Beastmaster)

I don't know. *shrug*

I think that the Bison (however nifty) is better off as an Uncommon. Large Common should be something encountered in HUGE numbers or easily proxied into something else.

Vermin (Beatles, Centi/Milli-pedes, Spidies, etc.) are the best call (IMO). Snakes wouldn't be bad. But Indy hates snakes.

I don't know how well even Vermin would work.

Centipedes are solitary hunters. Millipedes are vegetarians, and they're pretty chill. Spiders are -also- solitary hunters. And beetles? They tend to also be solitary, though not always. Scorpions run into the same problems.

If Giant Ants were large, they'd be a good choice. Giant Wasp would be a good choice, but it's too complex for a good common.

Ogre w/makeshift club and Dire Wolf would be the best choices by a wide margin, I think. A Large Snake would also work reasonably well, just because yuan-ti can morph into them.

Not every encounter is random, ya know...

Three words: Summoning, summoning, summoning.

Also, the vermin could be kept as pets by a BBEG. Dark elves, especially, keep lots o' spiders. Pit trap containing centipedes. Scorpions kept to milk their poison. I even have minions of Set ride giant scorpions into battle. And there's a whole prestige class called the Vermin Lord.

Plenty of RPG uses for large numbers of large vermin. Bring 'em on!

Don't forget the Darktrooper, Phase I was a large common as well.



It's a little more complex than the Yuzzem in terms of both paint and sculpt. I think it was three pieces, but it may have been only two. Either way, it shows that something equally complex can be done as a DDM large common.

I think i would rather see a more 'exotic' animal. Horses just don't thrill me and I can't think of anytime I've needed horses without riders. Now a mounted common, human soldier on a horsewould be great but seems highly unlikely.

I'll say a snake. When was the last snake-like figure we had? Naga in Underdark? I'd love a plain, green and/or brown large common snake please. Cobra or python species preferred.

I really hope if they do swarms in the future, they make them as Medium Commons with a very flat top surface. Large bases as swarms just doesn't work so well, given that swarms in RPG don't always stay in a square.
