:powerlevel:I'm starting to think about statting out a monster based on Bob for my D&D campaign.

Movieblobmonster's projection is so powerful that he's able to redirect any spell to any random target, including any of the 1 HP minions he summons, who have the same ability. If Movieblobmonster takes too much damage, he will regress into a defensive shell and recover energy by sacrificing random minions. At critical health he triples in size, crushing any minions. In this form he can perform a meteor shower attack of salt.
 
:powerlevel:I'm starting to think about statting out a monster based on Bob for my D&D campaign, but I can't really find a way to make him threatening.

I mean think about it. He has no strength or dexterity of note outside of putting thumbs on buttons. Intelligence and wisdom are arguably negligible. Constitution...I mean the guy has beetus and weighs around 300. And charisma...bwahahaha.

Now if I give his personality to a storm giant or ogre mage I might have a good early campaign villain, but even then I don't know if I can make one seem as petty as Bob.

Crack open some 40K books and rip off everything related to Nurgle for mechanical inspiration. Here's a thing on the Death Guard (a Nurgle-aligned Chaos Space Marine chapter) and their special rules. (Two other things you might want to adapt are Cloud of Flies and Too Horrible to Die)

I kind of like my idea of Bob as a type of minor undead, physically chained to a location like a basement appartment in undeath as he was in life, still tweeting nonstop

That would work, but I think it's a bit too mechanically limiting: strictly adapting Bob is basically just naming one of The Wretched from Mordenkainen's and calling it a day. To make an interesting fight, you have to adapt the spirit of everyone's favorite obese fascist movie critic.

(Alternatively, if this was Exalted, you could make his Fetters either his brother's basement or his Super Mario 3 cartridge.)

I think the old Subsidiaries book for Werewolf: The Apocalypse had a section on fomori that were based on RPG grognards. One power I recall was "Stench of the Convention." Sounds like it'd work for Bob.
 
Chris Evans just announced he’s done playing Captain America. Bob’s not going to take this well if he finds out.

Did I ever mention how much I hate "X happened, expect sperging" posts? Anyone who says that is worse at predictions than he is, and since there's a chance that he reads the thread, he'll tone down his reaction.

So stop before I start putting people on blast.

Agreed. It's become more and more apparent that Bob reads his thread on here. We can't tip him off in anyway or else Bob will calm down with his tweeting.

Also if you're reading this right now Bob, fuck you you autistic land whale of a human being.

Also, the answer is always the same to that question. If he says anything, it will be intemperate, insane, and obnoxious. Let's not change the result of the experiment by measuring it in advance.

He is an astral creature with the power of projection. Because he lives in the astral realms, where thought becomes becomes reality, his astral projections are extraordinarily powerful, but if you track him to his home base, he's nothing but a corpulent immobile blob.

With regards to Evans retiring as Captain America, I think his subdued reaction may have more to do with Bob's desire for Marvel Studios to emulate the comics by replacing the established icons with affirmative action "legacies." Recall how he was salivating over the prospect of a Ms. Marvel movies, or a Thor film where Jane Foster replaces Thor Odinson? Odds are he's waiting for Anthony Mackie to take up the shield.

Make him absorb damage and have a noxious cloud surrounding him that poisons the party.

Feeding him candy causes limb damage, blindness and eventually death.
 
I picture him more of that fat gold boss from Dark Souls.

I was thinking more like the Blob from X-Men. The dwarf swings his ax at the mighty beast, but there is no blood. The folds of the monster seize upon the ax, and the dwarf is unable to pull it free. The mage fires off a spell, buy it bounces off the beasts hide.

Suddenly, the monsters maw opens wide. A horrific, high pitched screech echoes throughout the dungeon. The party covers their ears in agony. A gaseous cloud begins to form around the beast. Anyone near the creature must make a Con save. If they fail, they lose their next turn and spend it throwing up.

Bob might fit as Juiblex, the Faceless Lord. Not only was Juiblex alternately a vast pool or a heaped cone of slime and offal, he was also mocked as the most pitiful of the Demon Lords, derisively referred to as "Prince of Nothing." His home plane, the Slime Pits, was a vast subterranean realm of slime and rot. Any of this sounding familiar?
