A Nimbus (plural Nimbi) is a sentient cloud summoned by a Monk-class character that helps and defends them and their allies.

History

The first Nimbus to appear in Unforgotten realms was the reincarnation of Randall. He was created by Thanks and was used to protect him from damage.

In Kobold Headhunters, Romulus was a monk and chose to make his deceased Granddaddy his Nimbus. After failing to kill Omally, the grandfather stopped helping Romulus, instead opting to pretend to have moved on while shouting angrily from the sky.

Characteristics

Nimbi resemble clouds and float after their creators until they are instructed to act. They are created with the dead body of someone close to the Monk creating them.

Abilities

Once per turn, a Nimbus may intervene in combat by moving an enemy 1 space. Otherwise, they can move around the board freely. They do not have a token on the board because of this.
