With relative frequency in published adventures, you see stat blocks that represent multiple named individuals who are statistically the same. While not that interesting on its own, this gave me an idea. What if you were to design a single stat block that represented two combatants, and you designed that stat block in such a way so as to make the two combatants work in concert with each other? As I thought about it, I came up with this idea of twin assassins who are psychically linked. I decided that these twin assassins would be represented as a single, solo creature, and that they’d have abilities that played off of each other.
Further, I had the thought that the two assassins becoming bloodied would change the state of the encounter, effectively killing one of the twins but making the survivor considerably more dangerous by sending her into a rage. After dinner, I sat down at the monster builder for a while and came up with Khala and Shari, a pair of twin eladrin assassins with a psychic bond that allows them to work perfectly together.
Note that this is a pretty long and complicated stat block. If you’re going to run Khala and Shari, I’d run them as a solo, or maybe with some minions. There’s a lot to keep track of, though, and I’d appreciate any thoughts on this encounter.
