Tuesday, 15 November 2016 Monster: Aboleth Mage

Monster: Aboleth Mage For completeness' sake let's convert the aboleth mage, presented in Monster Manual. The aboleths are psionic creatures, but Monster Manual was released before Expanded Psionics Handbook, and I think this is why there was an "improved" monster included. This monster is based on the aboleth racial template from this post and uses Sorcery for its magical abilities. If I recall correctly, Lords of Madness mentions the aboleths use their special glyph magic, which I probably will try to represent later as an alphabet for Symbol magic.

Typical Stats – Aboleth Mage ST: 36 (KYOS: 30) HP: 41 (KYOS: 37) Speed: 6.5 DX: 11 Will: 15 Move: 2 ground, 6 water IQ: 15 Per: 15 HT: 15 FP: 20 SM: +3 Dodge: 9 Parry: N/A DR: 3 (7 with Armor 2) Bite (11): 2d-2 cutting (KYOS: 3d-3 cutting). Reach C. Tentacle (11): 4d-2 crushing (KYOS: 5d+1 crushing) + follow-up 1d corrosion (10 1-minute cycles, HT-3 resist). Reach C. 1-3. Being moistened with cool, fresh water negates cycle damage. Using the follow-up damage costs 1 FP. Mucus Cloud (HT): Any creature that makes skin-to-skin contact with the aboleth must make a successful HT roll or lose the ability to breathe air and gain that ability to breathe water for a number of minutes equal to the margin of failure. Using this ability costs 1 FP. Wall of Ectoplasm (7): The aboleth can create a wall of ectoplasm of any shape it chooses in any place within 100 yards. The wall is 24-yard-long by 8-yard-wide, and is 1-inch thick. Each yard of wall has DR 3 and 1/2 HP. Mental Blow (15): The aboleth can overload someone’s brain with a powerful psychic attack. If it wins a Quick Contest of skill vs. his victim’s Will (use the range penalties on the Size and Speed/Range Table (B550)), his victim is stunned. On subsequent turns, he can roll against Will to snap out of it. Typical Sorcery Spells Known/Improvised: Armor 2 (11): See GURPS Sorcery – Protection and Warning Spells, page 4.

Monsters: Aboleths

Their original art doesn't really make them look very intimidating.

Since the earliest days of my pen-and-paper RPG gaming the aboleths were my favorite monsters. What monster can compete with a primordial fish monster with psionic powers? In D&D 3.5 they were first introduced on the first pages of Monster Manual and then brought to their proper psionic shape in Expanded Psionics Handbook. Finally, the lore was greatly expanded in Lords of Madness, one of my favorite D&D splatbooks. Lords of Madness also introduced three new aboleth variants - the stygian aboleth, the amphibious aboleth, and the uobilyth, also known as the aerial aboleth. I am aware of the other variations from the previous editions, such as the greater aboleth and the grand aboleth, but they won't be present in this post. The entries use psionic abilities from GURPS Psionic Powers and some unique psionic or biologial aboleth abilities. The entries are presented as a racial template and as a typical statblock.

Variations The amphibious aboleth (Lords of Madness, page 20) can be made simply by turning Doesn't Breathe (Gills) [0] from a feature to a full advantage Doesn't Breathe (Gills) [10]. The aerial aboleth (or uobilyth) (Lords of Madness, page 20) can be made by removing Doesn't Breathe (Gills) [0] and adding Flight (Magical, -10%) [36]. The stygian aboleth (Lords of Madness, page 20) can be made by applying the Fiendish Creature lens to the common aboleth. The lens is detailed below.

EYE RAY SPELLS

Eye Ray: Charm Keywords: Missile, Obvious, Resisted (Will). Full Cost: 60 points. Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to hit. Range: 100 yards. Duration: 3 minutes.

You fire a purple eye ray that charms the subject it hits. On hit, the subject resists with an unopposed Will roll. If he fails, he will obey your every command for 3 minutes. In effect, he temporarily gains the Reprogrammable disadvantage (B150), with you as his master. You do not have to maintain concentration to control the subject. If you attempt to force the subject to act against its principles (e.g., commit suicide or harm a loved one), roll another Quick Contest. If the subject wins, it breaks free. Roll at the moment of truth – you can march him to the edge of a cliff, but it doesn’t roll until it’s about to leap. If he resists, you cannot attempt to control that subject again for 24 hours, and he feels a sense of mental coercion emanating from you. Statistics: Mind Control (Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Independent, +70%; Sorcery, -15%; Weaponized, -50%) [60].

Eye Ray: Death Keywords: Missile, Obvious, Resisted (HT). Full Cost: 40 points. Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to hit. Range: 100 yards. Duration: Instantaneous.

You fire a dark purple eye ray that causes the subject to suffer a heart attack (B429), if he fails to resist with an unopposed HT roll. Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Heart Attack, +300%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Sorcery, -15%) [40].

Eye Ray: Disintegrate Keywords: Missile, Obvious, Resisted (HT). Full Cost: 30 points. Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to hit. Range: 100 yards. Duration: Three minutes or instantaneous.

The sorcerer fires an orange eye ray that has the potential to turn any inanimate object to dust! On hit, the target resists with an unopposed (HT+SM) roll. If the target’s HT is unknown, assume that machines have HT 10 and simple objects have HT 12, modified for quality: -2 for cheap, +1 for fine, +2 for very fine. If the target fails by 5 or more, the target immediately disintegrates. It cannot be repaired or recovered by any mundane means. If it fails by less, the object survives, but for the next three minutes, its HT is at -5 and its DR is reduced by 10; if it’s a weapon, treat it as cheap for breakage purposes, or an extra +2 to break if already cheap. (Most casters will follow up with a second Disintegrate casting, as the target is nearly guaranteed to lose by a large margin.) If he loses or ties, there is no effect. Disintegrate must affect objects as a whole; it cannot target part of an object. The GM has the final say over what constitutes a “whole” object. Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Inanimate objects only, -10%; Attribute Penalty, HT-5, +50%; Cosmic, Object disintegrates if destroyed, +50%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Negated Advantage, Reduced DR 10, +50%; Secondary Destruction, +60%; Sorcery, -15%) [30]. Note: “Destruction” is a variant of Heart Attack appropriate for inanimate objects, which simply break rather than suffering mortal conditions.

Eye Ray: Fear Keywords: Missile, Obvious, Resisted (Will). Full Cost: 32 points. Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to hit. Range: 100 yards. Duration: Instantaneous.

You fire a black eye ray that terrifies your subject. On hit, the subject resists with an unopposed Will roll. If he fails, roll 3d for the result, as usual, and add his margin of failure. Your victim gets +1 per Fright Check after the first within 24 hours. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by your Eye Ray: Fear for one hour. Statistics: Terror (Active, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Increased Range, x10, +30%; Presence, +25%; Sorcery, -15%; Weaponized, -50%) [32].

Eye Ray: Flesh to Stone Keywords: Missile, Obvious, Resisted (HT). Full Cost: 45 points. Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to hit. Range: 100 yards. Duration: Permanent.

You fire a brown eye ray that can turn a living subject into stone! If he fails to resist with an unopposed HT roll, his body and anything he is carrying become stone. This cannot be undone via Dispel Magic (GURPS Thaumatology - Sorcery, p. 21); countering it requires Remove Curse (GURPS Thaumatology - Sorcery, p. 21) or the equivalent of Stone to Flesh (GURPS Magic, p. 53). Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Cosmic, Immune to Dispel Magic, +50%; Extended Duration, Permanent, +150%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Paralysis, Variant, +150%; Sorcery, -15%) [45].

Eye Ray: Slow Keywords: Missile, Obvious, Resisted (HT). Full Cost: 20 points. Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to hit. Range: 100 yards. Duration: 3 minutes.

You fire a white eye ray that gives the subject the Decreased Time Rate (B129) disadvantage for 3 minutes, if he fails to resist with an unopposed HT roll. Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Disadvantage, Decreased Time Rate, +100%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Sorcery, -15%) [20].

Eye Ray: Telekinesis Keywords: Obvious. Full Cost: 3 points for level 1 + 1 point/additional level. Casting Roll: None. Range: 100 yards. Duration: Indefinite.

You can move objects without touching them, using a yellow eye ray. You lift and move distant objects just as if you were grasping them in a pair of hands with ST equal to your Eye Ray: Telekinesis level. You can move any object you have strength enough to lift at Move 1, modified as usual for encumbrance level (see Encumbrance and Move, p. B17). Regardless of level, maximum range is 10 yards. Eye Ray: Telekinesis requires constant concentration to use. In combat, this means you must take a Concentrate maneuver on your turn. Your Eye Ray: Telekinesis may then perform one standard maneuver as if were a disembodied pair of hands at some point within your range: a Ready maneuver to pick up an object or a Move maneuver to lift and carry it. No rolls are necessary for ordinary lifting and movement. In situations where you would roll against ST, roll against your Eye Ray: Telekinesis level instead. Statistics: Telekinesis 1 (Cannot Grapple, -5%; Cannot Punch, -10%; Cannot Throw, -10%; Increased Range, 10x, +30%; No Fine Manipulations, -20%; Sorcery, -15%; Visible, -10%) [3]. Each additional level adds Telekinesis 1 (Cannot Grapple, -5%; Cannot Punch, -10%; Cannot Throw, -10%; Increased Range, 10x, +30%; Move Only, -40%; No Fine Manipulations, -20%; Sorcery, -15%; Visible, -10%) [1].

Monster: Gauth The beholder is an iconic D&D monster with powerful magical abilities. Gauth, also known as the lesser beholder, is much weaker, but still formiddable. In GURPS, it seems, he's fall quickly to ranged combatants.

EYE RAY SPELLS

Eye Ray: Dispel Keywords: Missile, Obvious, Resisted (Will or spell). Full Cost: 23 points. Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to hit. Range: 100 yards. Duration: Instantaneous.

The caster fires a light blue eye ray that attempts to dispel a single instance of magic. The ray must target the subject of the spell, which can be a person, object, or area. For areas, calculate range to the center of the area. The caster must state which spell he is attempting to counter. Treat the resistance roll as for Dispel Magic (see GURPS Thaumatology - Sorcery, p. 21), but instead of a Quick Contest resolve it as an unopposed roll. This spell cannot end Truly Permanent effects, such as the magic of enchanted items. Statistics: Neutralize Magic (Accessibility, Must target subject, not caster, -10%; Accessibility, One spell at a time, -5%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; Interruption, -50%; Precise, +20%; Ranged, +40%; Sorcery, -15%; Weaponized, -50%) [23].

Monster: Carrion Crawler Carrion crawler is a dungeon-dwelling scavenger that sometimes hunts living creatures, paralyzing them with its tentacles and devouring them. I don't remember if I have ever used these creatures in D&D, but they look very fitting for a generic dungeon monster. Very weak to ranged attacks and high HT characters.

Monster: Choker The choker is a halfling-sized cavern dweller with rubbery arms and a penchant for grappling and choking. Instead of giving it Altered Time Rate 1, how their D&D ability would suggest, I gave it a huge Basic Speed bonus.

Monster: Cloaker When resting or lying in wait, these creatures are almost impossible to distinguish from common black cloaks (the cloaker’s ivory claws look very much like bone clasps). Only when it unfurls does the horrific nature of the creature become apparent.

Usually it grabs the head or torso, goes for a pin, and then employs Constriction Attack. Moan: The cloaker can emit a subsonic moan that can have three different effects. This is a hearing-based attack, targets with Protected Hearing resist at +5. Note that this is not a magical ability. Fear: Every creature that hears the cloaker must roll an immediate Fright Check. If a creature succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by the cloaker’s fear moan for one hour. Stun: Every creature within 8 yards that hears the cloaker must make an HT roll to avoid getting stunned. He can roll again every second after that to recover. Nausea: Every creature within 8 yards that hears the cloaker must make an HT roll to avoid becoming nauseated (p. B428) for margin of failure minutes. Shadow Shift (10): The cloaker is able to control shadows (illumination penalty of at least -3) in a circular area with a 3-yard radius. To do so, he must Concentrate and roll IQ. After that he can move the shadows at Move 3, or decrease or increase the illumination penalties it gives by 3. The cloaker rarely uses this in combat when fighting alone, but can use this ability to make his ambush place darker.

Destructive Harmonics (12): A destrachan can emit a scream of destructive harmonics in a cone that has a maximum width of 10 yards or in a circular area with an 8- yard radius around itself. This attack has two modes. The first mode is a destructive scream that deals 4d burning non-incendiary damage. The destrachan must attune this mode to a specific material – flesh, bone, glass, metal, stone, wood, etc. This is done as a free action before using this ability, and this scream deals damage only to creatures and objects of the attuned material. If any damage penetrates the target’s DR, he must make a HT roll, at -1 per 2 points of penetrating damage, or suffer gain Deafness (p. B129) for (20-HT) minutes (minimum 1 minute). The second mode is a stunning scream. Everyone in the area of effect must make an HT roll or lose consciousness for margin of failure minutes. Divide DR by 5 to get the bonus it provides to the roll. This ability costs 1 FP to use and works only in the presence of air or water.

Monster: Devourer The devourer is a powerful undead monster spawned by the extraplanar githyanki (see Dragon Magazine #355). Placed in the middle of the CR spectrum, it should prove to be a challenge for a middle-level party. While converting it to GURPS I merged energy drain and essence steal into a single draining ability that powers the spellcasting, evading including an instant death attack. Giving the monster some Wrestling with high ST should make it easier for the devourer to grapple the victim and drain his life.

Roll against the ethereal filcher’s IQ minus range penalties (p. B550) to the subject, which the creature must be able to see or touch. If the ethereal filcher is familiar with the spells in question, this will reveal them. Otherwise, use the margin of success to determine how much information to give the creature. Ethereal Jaunt (8): The ethereal filcher can slip into the Ethereal Plane from the Material Plane and the other way around as per Jumper (p. B64).

Posted by Enraged Eggplant at 01:00:00 Labels: alchemy, D&D, GURPS, monster, poison, template Wednesday, 28 November 2018 Monster: Gibbering Mouther

Monster: Gibbering Mouther The gibbering mouther is an amorphous mass of mouths and eyes. It can use only six mouths at the same time, and can create protoplasmic manipulators to push objects (hence No Fine Manipulators, not No Manipulators). It can spit acid, soften earth, confuse creatures with its gibbering, and attack six times per second. It has so many eyes that it effectively has Injury Tolerance (No Eyes).

The gibbering mouther can drain the victim’s life if the victim is helpless (pinned, stunned, unconscious, etc.), grappled, or willing. If he is wearing armor, the gibbering mouther’s biting damage must penetrate its DR. Once the gibbering mouther has bitten through the victim’s DR, it can drain 1 HP per second from him. For every 3 HP stolen, the gibbering mouther heals 1 HP or 1 FP (its choice). It cannot raise its HP or FP above normal this way. Spit Acid (12): 1d-1 corrosion. Ranged attack (Acc 3, Range 10/10), costs 1 FP. Gibbering: As soon as a mouther spots something edible, it begins a constant gibbering. When a creature hears this gibbering, it must roll a Fright Check using the Confusion table (GURPS Powers, p. 85). If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour. Ground Manipulation: A gibbering mouther can cause stone and earth in a 4-yard radius around it to become a morass akin to quicksand. This requires a Concentrate maneuver and costs 1 FP. Mired creatures are grappled with ST 12. Their only way to free themselves is to break free with a successful Quick Contest of ST. Softening stone requires two consecutive Concentrate maneuvers. This effect persists for 10 seconds.

Monster: Sy-Daemon I've played Dark Colony a lot during my childhood. Genetically engineering war machines is a common trope in science fiction, and that particular RTS game featured quite a few of them. Of course, realistic options from GURPS Bio-Tech are not sufficient here, and some of the features are not allowed even for TL 12 in that book. In the end, we have a fast and strong monster that can cut up infantry with ease and even tackle on battlesuits and light vehicles. Hardened skin should protect him from small arms, but not from more heavy weaponry.

Posted by Enraged Eggplant at 01:00:00 Labels: D&D, GURPS, monster, template Monday, 16 January 2017 Monsters: Basilisks

Monsters: Basilisks Basilisk is a classical mythological monster, typically a multilegged lizard or a serpent with a petrifying gaze or bite. Some media replace petrifaction with paralysis. I have always liked the basilisk, but I do not remember ever using it in a game. In addition to the common basilisk, I provide stats for the abyssal greater basilisk - a stronger fiendish version of the beast.

Petrifying Gaze (10): A basilisk’s petrifying gaze spreads out in a cone 15 yards long and 15 yards wide at the end. It can select who is affected; potential victims must be looking at it. For every target, there is a Quick Contest between the basilisk’s Will (minus a range penalty taken from the Speed/Range Table) and each target’s HT. If the basilisk wins, the target is petrified. (The distinction between “paralyzed” and “petrified” generally works in their victims’ favor – e.g., they won’t starve – so the medusa does not pay extra for this.) Someone looking at a reflection of a basilisk is not affected by its gaze. Fighting while looking in a mirror is at a -5 penalty; attacks made with closed eyes are at -10. Petrification can be removed with Remove Curse or Stone to Flesh.

Wrestling at DX+2 gives the cloaker a ST score of 10 for the purpose of grappling. Usually it drops from the ceiling, grabs the head, and then employs Constriction Attack. Effective skill 26 includes a +14 bonus for using 8 arms at once. Darkness (12): The darkmantle may fill a two-yard-radius area with darkness. No one can see into the affected area, and no one within the affected area can see anything; see p. B394 for combat rules. The Dark Vision advantage lets you see through this effect, but Night Vision and Infravision. To place the area at a distance, use Innate Attack (Gaze), with normal range penalties, but at +4 for affecting an area.

Monster: Displacer Beast Displacer beast is one of the original D&D monsters, and, if I recall correctly, it was based on a monster from some sci-fi novel.

I can safely say that it is a cool monster, and here is my attempt at converting it and its pack lord variant to GURPS.

These bugs are big, tough, and their acidic bite is nasty. From all the monsters posted until this moment, I've only used ankhegs against my PCs. One of the akhegs got two of its legs cut off with a two-handed sword and then impaled through the skull, and another one survived a bullet through its face from a TL4 pistol, attempted to run away, but got immobilized by a divine spell and then beaten merciless to death with a mace by a cleric of a deity of peace, mercy, and healing.

Monster: Aranea Next up is this interesting monster. I feel like the araneas get too little attention. Come on, they are intelligent man-sized shapeshifting spiders with sorcerous powers! Personally, I like this monster, but I have never had a chance to use it and have never seen it used. It appeared first in Monster Manual and has never been expanded upon. One thing I had doubts about is the aranea's anatomical oddity - its brain is contained in the hump on its back, and I wasn't sure how to stat it. After thinking for a bit, I just decided to make it a perk. Aranea [Monster Manual, page 15]

Posted by Enraged Eggplant at 01:00:00 Labels: D&D, GURPS, monster, template Sunday, 11 December 2016 Monsters: Rats

Monsters: Rats I bet you all have heard stories of low-level adventurers clearing out basements from rats. Of course, most adventurers succeed, unless there's a giant fire-breathing rat in the basement. Here are some rat templates - a common rat, a cave rat, and a dire rat. Their only difference is their strength and size, but you can add some variety by altering some attributes. For example, you can increase a dire rat's HP, make it Fat, and lower its DX and/or Basic Speed to create bloated dire rats. Common and cave rats are not formiddable opponents, but they can be used as familiars, pets, or food.

Monster: Animated Manacles Monster Manual provides statblocks for animated objects of various sizes, but does not specify the type of the object in question. Pathfinder RPG, on the other hand, provides several statblocks for specific animated objects. Let's try to stat up something weird - the animated manacles. I was not sure how to represent their ability to actually shackle people, so I decided to give them Accessory (Manacles). Thus, the manacles are incapable of damaging anyone, unless they use All-Out Attack (Strong), but can shackle people like Iron Shackles from GURPS Low-Tech, page 130.

Monster: Flesh Golem Flesh golem is a classic D&D monster, being inspired by the Frankenstein's Monster. It's slow, strong, and has no free will. Even when obeying its master, a flesh golem has a small chance of going berserk in combat. Its macabre appearance can cause the golem to be mistaken for an undead creature.

Reach C-1. Hooves (14): 3d crushing (KYOS: 5d crushing). Reach C-1. Spiked Chains (16): The zelekhut can take a Ready maneuver to unfurl spiked chains from his forearms or to retract them back. These chains deal 2d crushing, Reach 1-4*. The chains are awkward enough that they require a Ready maneuver to change reach (e.g., between 1 and 3). Otherwise, the zelekhut can strike at foes that are at any distance within the chains’ reach. Attempts to parry the chains are at -4, and fencing weapons cannot parry at all! Attempts to block chains are at -2. This swinging attack is unbalanced – the zelekhut cannot use it to parry if he have already used it to attack this turn (or vice versa), and parries with the chains are at -2. The zelekhut has two chain attacks, which permits him Dual-Weapon Attacks (p. B417). Spikes favor disarming, giving the zelekhut a +2 on disarming attempts. The chains have DR 4 and effective weight 0.84 lbs. This attack uses the Kusari skill.

Monster: Hill Landwyrm

Desert and plains landwyrms are blurred out

Draconomicon is one of my favorite supplements for Dungeons and Dragons 3.5. It contains tons of draconic lore, options for dragons, allies of dragons, and dragonslayers. It also has some new monsters, and my favorites are the landwyrms. They are less smart than the true dragons, lack wings, breath weapons, and are based on their biome. Here we have my take on converting the hill landwyrm to GURPS.

Monsters: Hydras Hydras are horrifying creatures - both as enemies for your characters to slay and as templates to stat up. Slaying one of these beasts requires a great deal of preparation and teamwork. Leaving it harmed but not killed will only make it stronger and harder to defeat in the future. Racial templates are given for 5-headed hydras, as this is the lowest head count given in Monster Manual.

Reach C-2. Regeneration: A hydra usually has 1d+4 functional heads, but can only attack with three of them at the same time. It still can perform only a single mental maneuver on its turn. In addition, the hydra can track as many targets at it has heads, applying benefits of Aim or Evaluate against all of the targets. The hydra cannot suffer more than 2 x (its HP/number of heads) points of injury from any single attack to its head or neck. Any head blow that causes unconsciousness only knocks out that one head; the others continue to function! A critical head blow that would normally kill the hydra simply destroys that head, inflicting the maximum injury noted above and crushing, severing, or exploding the head. The hydra’s necks are very long, granting it better reach with bite attacks, but providing a +3 bonus to attacks against them. If one of the heads is destroyed, two more will grow in its place, unless the attacker applies fire or acid to the wound before the heads grow back, or if the head was destroyed by an acid or fire attack. In the unlikely case of a player character hydra, the hydra must have enough unspent points to immediately buy the Extra Head (p. B54) advantage. The heads grow back in time it takes the hydra to heal to full HP (a hydra regenerates at a rate of 1 HP per second). The hydra is immune to shock, physical stun, knockout. As long as it has 0 or more HP, it is also immune to crippling injuries, and has its full Move. Below 0 HP, it is an half Move, and can be crippled, but it won’t die unless certain conditions are met. The hydra dies when all its heads are destroyed and cauterized, or it is reduced to – 10xHP by wounds to the body. In the latter case, the heads may continue writhing and lashing out for some time.

Posted by Enraged Eggplant at 01:00:00 Labels: D&D, GURPS, monster, template Monday, 17 September 2018 Monster: Gold Dragon

Monster: Gold Dragon And here's the last of the metallic dragons and the most powerful one. Also, a Sorcery spell.

Seek Gems Keywords: Information. Full Cost: 21 points or 31 points. Casting Roll: Per. Use IQ for analysis. Range: Unlimited. Duration: Instantaneous.

After casting, the GM rolls against the sorcerer’s Per, with a penalty based on the distance to the nearest gem. The basic (21- point) version of this spell takes standard range penalties. The improved (31-point) one uses long-distance modifiers. If successful, the caster knows the exact distance and direction to the gem, and may make a follow-up IQ roll (at no penalty) to learn basic details about it (e.g., “it’s a ruby” or “it’s a 24 carat diamond”). Any known gems may be excluded if the caster mentions them before casting. Statistics: Detect Gems (Precise, +100%; Selective Effect, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [21]. The improved version adds Long-Range 1 (+50%) [+10].

Posted by Enraged Eggplant at 01:00:00 Saturday, 31 December 2016 Monster: White Dragon

Monster: White Dragon Dragons are iconic monsters of fantasy, and I'm sure that they are one of the first things that comes up in peoples' minds when they hear "fantasy". Sometimes they are just flying reptilian beasts, sometimes they are sentient and cunning. For more information about dragons, one can read GURPS Dragons. Dragons in Dungeons and Dragons are divided into several categories: chromatic, metallic, gem, lung, ferrous, planar, etc. White dragons are considered to be the weakest of the evil chromatic dragons. They aren't very bright (when they are young, at least), but they are strong nonetheless. KYOS makes them deal ridiculous damage with their natural weapons and have huge HP. The racial template is provided only for the adult age category.

Expansion increases the duergar’s size to SM+0 for 1 minute as per Growth (p. B58) advantage. This is usually only used when grappling, as it does not increase ST or Reach and does not affect gear. Invisibility: This psionic ability costs 1 FP and can be used once per day. This ability turns the duergar invisible to normal vision for 1 minute as per Invisibility (p. B63) advantage. This makes the duergar invisible not only to living creatures, but to machines as well. When the duergar turns invisible, his gear up to his Medium Encumbrance turns invisible as well. Invisibility dispels after the duergar performs an attack of any kind.

Racial Templates: Dwarves Fireblood dwarves have some red dragon blood flowing in their veins. They lose I've always liked the dwarves. Sturdy, stubborn, clannish creatures. Some people their poison resistance, but gain fire resistance. would consider a bearded drunken berserker dwarf or a dwarven rune mage/priest cliche, but I like those archetypes. Despite being a quite popular PC race, I've had STONEFIRE DWARF [21] (Expanded Psionics Handbook, page 6) one one player playing a dwarf. And that was a dwarf ninja. Let's see how the Attributes: ST-2 [-20]; HT+1 [10]. dwarves look like in my opinion in GURPS! Secondary Characteristics: SM -1; HP+2 [4]; Will +1 [5]; FP +1 [3]; Basic Move -1 [-5]. HILL DWARF [20] (Player’s Handbook, page 14) Advantages: Extended Lifespan 2 [4]; Infravision [10]; Lifting ST+2 [6]; Attributes: ST-2 [-20]; HT+1 [10]. Resistant to Poison (+3) [5].

Knowing Your Own Strength [29] Perks: Alcohol Tolerance [1]; Sure-Footed (Uneven) [1]; Can sense depth Remove Lifting ST+2 [6] with Lifting ST+2 [14] underground [1].

Knowing Your Own Strength [28] And here's another subrace that was mentioned in a sidebar along with the illaeli Remove Lifting ST+2 [6] with Lifting ST+2 [14] elves and never brought up again. Psionic dwarves, that's all.

DUERGAR (GRAY DWARF) [118] (Expanded Psionics Handbook, page 8) This is the most normal and common dwarf. Despite being SM-1, they still are as Attributes: ST-2 [-20]; HT+1 [10]. strong as a human, and are more resilient. Secondary Characteristics: SM -1; HP+2 [4]; Will +1 [5]; FP +1 [3]; Basic Move -1 [-5].

NEW WIZARDRY SPELLS

Magic Missile Keywords: Missile, Obvious. Full Cost: 4 points. Casting Roll: Magic Missile (IQ/Hard). Use Innate Attack (Projectile) to «lock on». Components: V, S. Cost: 1 FP. Casting Time: 1 second. Range: 20 yards. Duration: Instantaneous.

A magical force missile flies off your fingertips towards your target. A successful hit does 1d-1 crushing damage. The missile can strike even insubstantial targets. The projectile is homing, so it steers itself. As it uses normal vision to seek its target, it does not ignore darkness penalties. To “lock on,” you must Aim at the target and make an unmodified skill roll. Do not roll against your skill to hit. Instead, use the attack’s skill of 10 – plus Accuracy, if you made your skill roll – and ignore all range penalties. The projectile moves 4 yards per second. For more information, see Guided and Homing Weapons (p. B412). Statistics: Crushing Attack 1d-1 (Affects Insubstantial, +20%; Costs 1 FP, -5%; Homing, +50%; Increased 1/2D, 2x, +5%; Magical, -10%; Reduced Range, x1/5, -20%; Requires Gestures, -10%; Requires IQ Roll, -10%; Requires Magic Words, -10%) [4].

Mind-Sending Keywords: None. Full Cost: 20 points. Casting Roll: Mind-Sending (IQ/Hard). Components: V, S. Cost: 1 FP. Casting Time: 1 second. Range: Unlimited. Duration: Indefinite.

The caster transmits thoughts directly to the subject’s mind. The subject receives the caster’s thoughts even if he lacks this ability. Range is theoretically unlimited, but the skill roll to cast this spell takes the range penalties given under Long-Distance Modifiers (p. B241). If the caster cannot see or otherwise sense his subject, he has an additional penalty: -1 for family, lovers, or close friends; -3 for casual friends and acquaintances; or -5 for someone met only briefly. The caster can send words at the speed of ordinary speech or pictures at the speed at which he could draw them. After casting this spell, no concentration is required. The caster can maintain multiple contacts, but the skill roll is at a cumulative -1 per contact after the first. Statistics: Telesend (Costs 1 FP, -5%; Magical, -10%; Requires Gestures, -10%; Requires Magic Words, -10%) [20].

Truthsayer Keywords: Resisted (IQ). Full Cost: 6 points. Casting Roll: Truthsayer (IQ/Hard). Components: V, S. Cost: 1 FP. Casting Time: 1 second. Range: Unlimited. Duration: Instantaneous.

Perform a Quick Contest of caster's skill versus the subject’s IQ (or Fast-Talk or Acting skill, if appropriate). Success lets the caster pinpoint if a phrase spoken in the last five minutes by the subject was a lie, or if the last statement uttered by the subject was a lie, caster's choice. The caster can voluntarily penalize his casting roll; for each -1 penalty to the roll, he can reach an additional 5 minutes into the past. Statistics: Unusual Training (Detect Lies) + Detect Lies (H) Per (Based on IQ, +20%; Costs 1 FP, -5%; Magical, -10%; No Signature, +20%; Requires Gestures, -10%; Requires Magic Words, -10%; Time Spanning, Past, (Reduced Range, 1/200, 5 minute intervals instead of 24 hour intervals, -70% Short-Range 2, -1 penalty for every 5 minutes back, -20%), +10%) [6].

Posted by Enraged Eggplant at 01:00:00 Labels: D&D, GURPS, monster, npc Thursday, 17 November 2016 A high elf, just stronger and less intelligent. As I told before, many subraces have Racial Templates: Elves only minor differences.

Racial Templates: Elves WOOD ELF [30] (Monster Manual, page 104) Attributes: ST-1 [-10]; DX+1 [20]; IQ-1 [-20]; HT+1 [10]. There are very many various elven subraces in D&D. Some are similar to others, Secondary Characteristics: Per +1 [5]. some are actually identical to others, some are vastly different. But they all share Advantages: Extended Lifespan 3 [6]; Immunity to Sleep Effects [5]; Less Sleep some features - pointed ears, long lifespan, immunity to supernatural sleep 4 [8]; Night Vision 5 [5]. effects, and 4-hour trance instead of sleep. This trance makes the elves immune to Perks: Trance instead of sleep [1]. dream-related effects, both positive and negative. I decided to make it a perk.

Okay, here we go, get ready for a long list! And another high elf minor variation. Nothing interesting.

HIGH ELF [40] (Player’s Handbook, page 15) DEEPWYRM DROW [123] (Dragon Magic, page 6) Attributes: ST-1 [-10]; DX+1 [20]. Attributes: ST-1 [-10]; DX+1 [20]; IQ+1 [20]. Secondary Characteristics: Per +1 [5]. Secondary Characteristics: Per +1 [5]. Advantages: Extended Lifespan 3 [6]; Immunity to Sleep Effects [5]; Less Sleep Advantages: Extended Lifespan 3 [6]; Immunity to Sleep Effects [5]; Infravision 4 [8]; Night Vision 5 [5]. [10]; Less Sleep 4 [8]; Magic Resistance 2 (Improved, +150%) [10]. Perks: Trance instead of sleep [1]. Darkness: Obscure 3 (Vision) (Limited Use, 1/day, -40%; Costs 1 FP, -5%; Magical, -10%) [3]. This is the "normal" elf. A bit more dextrous and perceptive than a human, but a Light: Illumination (2-yard radius, 1 minute; Limited Use, 1/day, -40%; bit less strong. Magical, -10%) [1]. Detect Magic: Detect (Magic) (Magical, -10%) [9]. AQUATIC ELF [58] (Monster Manual, page 103) Disguise Self: Morph (Illusory; Cosmetic, -50%; Costs 1 FP, -5%; Attributes: DX+1 [20]; IQ-1 [-20]. Magical, -10%) [40]. Secondary Characteristics: Per +1 [5]. Disadvantages: Callous [-5]. Advantages: Amphibious [10]; Extended Lifespan 3 [6]; Immunity to Sleep Perks: Trance instead of sleep [1]. Effects [5]; Less Sleep 4 [8]; Night Vision 8 [8]; Pressure Support 2 [10]; Speak Features: Night Vision 5 [0]. Underwater [5].

Perks: Trance instead of sleep [1]. Now this is a sub-subrace. Drow tainted with deep dragon blood lose their ability Features: Doesn’t Breathe (Gills) [0]. to cast faerie fire, but become able to disguise themselves with illusions and detect magic. Some elves adapted to living underwater. Nothing special, just a high elf with all the aquatic traits. FORESTLORD ELF [59] (Dragon Magic, page 8) Attributes: ST-1 [-10]; DX+1 [20]. DROW (DARK ELF) [87] (Monster Manual, 103) Secondary Characteristics: Per +1 [5]. Attributes: ST-1 [-10]; DX+1 [20]; IQ+1 [20]. Advantages: Extended Lifespan 3 [6]; Immunity to Sleep Effects [5]; Less Sleep Secondary Characteristics: Will +1 [5]; Per +1 [5]. 4 [8]; Night Vision 5 [5]. Advantages: Extended Lifespan 3 [6]; Immunity to Sleep Effects [5]; Infravision Treewalk: Warp (Special Portal, Tree, -20%; Range Limit, 20 yards, [10]; Less Sleep 4 [8]; Magic Resistance 2 (Improved, +150%) [10]. -20%; Limited Use, 1/day, -40%; Magical, -10%) [20]. Darkness: Obscure 3 (Vision) (Limited Use, 1/day, -40%; Costs 1 FP, Quirks: Trivial Vow (Never harm green dragons) [-1]. -5%; Magical, -10%) [3]. Perks: Trance instead of sleep [1]. Light: Illumination (2-yard radius, 1 minute; Limited Use, 1/day, -40%;

Magical, -10%) [1].

Faerie Fire: Affliction 1 (Based on Will, +20%; Disadvantage, Noisy 5 Forestlord elves are high elves with a drop of green dragon blood in their veins. (Visual instead of audial), +10%; Costs 1 FP, -5%; Limited Use, 1/day, -40%; They can teleport from a tree to another tree once a day and they blood Magical, -10%) [8]. connection prevents them from harming green dragons. Disadvantages: Callous [-5].

Perks: Trance instead of sleep [1]. ILLAELI ELF [41] (Expanded Psionics Handbook, page 6) Features: Night Vision 5 [0]. Attributes: ST-1 [-10]; DX+1 [20]. Secondary Characteristics: Per +1 [5]. Drow are probably the most infamous elven subrace. Who hasn't played D&D Advantages: Extended Lifespan 3 [6]; Immunity to Sleep Effects [5]; Less Sleep with a chaotic good drow rogue/ranger/assassin dual-wielding sabers in the 4 [8]; Night Vision 5 [5]. party? I have played with them a lot. But anyway, the drow are able to produce Perks: Trance instead of sleep [1]; Weak Latency (Psi) [1]. light, darkness, and faerie fire that makes the subject easy to spot.

GRAY ELF [50] (Monster Manual, 104) A minor psionic elf subrace that was mentioned once in a sidebar and never ever Attributes: ST-2 [-20]; DX+1 [20]; IQ+1 [20]. again. The Weak Latency (Psi) perk comes from GURPS Psionic Powers. Secondary Characteristics: Per +1 [5].

Advantages: Extended Lifespan 3 [6]; Immunity to Sleep Effects [5]; Less Sleep SNOW ELF [50] (Frostburn, page 34) 4 [8]; Night Vision 5 [5]. Attributes: DX+1 [20]. Perks: Trance instead of sleep [1]. Secondary Characteristics: Per +1 [5]. Advantages: Extended Lifespan 3 [6]; Immunity to Sleep Effects [5]; Less Sleep A more intelligent and even less strong elven subrace. Grey elves were 4 [8]; Night Vision 5 [5]. introduced in Monster Manual, and I think they weren't ever mentioned Perks: Trance instead of sleep [1]. afterwards.

Strangely, snow elves do not have any extreme cold tolerance, but at least they WILD ELF [30] (Monster Manual, page 104) are a bit stronger than the high elves. Nothing to see here, move along. Attributes: DX+1 [20]; IQ-1 [-20].

Secondary Characteristics: Per +1 [5].

Perks: Trance instead of sleep [1]. Perks: Trance instead of sleep [1]. Unearthed Arcana presented environmental variations (arctic, desert, jungle, aquatic) of many races. And all of them are quite boring, to be honest. Another setting-specific subrace. They are akin to wild elves, but with an additional talent. DESERT ELF [37] (Unearthed Arcana, page 11) Attributes: ST-1 [-10]; DX+1 [20]. QUALINESTI [60] (Dragonlance Campaign Setting, page 18) Advantages: Extended Lifespan 3 [6]; Immunity to Sleep Effects [5]; Less Sleep Attributes: ST-1 [-10]; DX+1 [20]. 4 [8]; Night Vision 5 [5]; Temperature Tolerance 2 (2xHT to hot) [2].

Advantages: Extended Lifespan 3 [6]; Immunity to Sleep Effects [5]; Infravision [10]; Less Sleep 4 [8]; Night Vision 5 [5]; Voice [10]. Another environmental subrace. Perks: Trance instead of sleep [1].

JUNGLE ELF [35] (Unearthed Arcana, page 14) A setting-specific subrace. They are like high elves, but more charismatic. Attributes: ST-1 [-10]; DX+1 [20]. Advantages: Extended Lifespan 3 [6]; Immunity to Sleep Effects [5]; Less Sleep SILVANESTI [72] (Dragonlance Campaign Setting, page 19) 4 [8]; Night Vision 5 [5].

FIRE ELF [50] (Unearthed Arcana, page 17) Racial Skill Modifiers: +1 to Thaumatology [2]. Attributes: IQ+1 [20]; HT-1 [-10]. Secondary Characteristics: Per +1 [5].

GITHYANKI SILVER SWORD

To create this special weapon, we have to write up a Sorcery spell first. As a rule, magic does not interact with psionics, but we make this spell only for pricing reasons. One could rework it as an Anti-Psi ability, if needed.

Antipsi Weapon Keywords: Weapon Buff. Full Cost: 59 points. Casting Roll: None. Use Innate Attack (Gaze) to aim. Use Will to suppress abilities. Range: 100 yards. Duration: 30 minutes.

This spell imbues the weapon with antipsionic properties. When the wielder hits a psi with this weapon, he must roll a Quick Contest of Will. The victim gets a bonus equal to his best psionic Talent. If the wielder wins, he neutralizes his victim’s psionic powers for 3 minutes. If the wielder loses or ties, there’s no effect – but critical failure on the wielder’s Will roll disables this property for 1d hours. Once the wielder has neutralized a given subject, he can’t affect him again until his powers recover. Multiple attackers can use Antipsi Weapon or similar neutralizing abilities on the same target. Use only the longest duration; their abilities don’t “add” in any way. This enchantment only deprives the subject of the psionic abilities, it doesn’t affect Talent. Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Only on weapons, -20%; Advantage, Antipsi Weapon, +450%; Extended Duration, 10x, +40%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Increased 1/2D, 10x, +15%; No Signature, +20%; Sorcery, -15%) [59].

Githyanki Silver Sword – as an enchanted item (using Sorcery) This fine (p. B274) silver-edged (p. B275) thrusting greatsword (p. LT70, p. B274) looks much like a standard weapon while still in its sheath. When drawn, the silver sword transforms into a column of silvery liquid, alternating the weapon’s balance round by round as the blade’s shape flows and shimmers. The weapon can be imbued with antipsionic properties by the wielder for 1 hour by taking a Concentrate maneuver and spending 1 FP. When the wielder hits a psi with this weapon, he must roll a Quick Contest of Will. The victim gets a bonus equal to his best psionic Talent. If the wielder wins, he neutralizes his victim’s psionic powers for 3 minutes.

A sand blaster is a large exotic weapon made from long tubes. The wielder blows out the sand in a cone that is 5 yards wide on the end - see Area and Spreading Attacks (p. B413). Range is based on HT instead of ST. The damage dealt by the sand depends on the strength of the wielder’s breath – look up wielder’s (HT+SM) on the Damage Table (p. B16) and use the thrust crushing damage for this value. A successful Breath Control roll multiplies HT by 1.5 for the shot for the purpose of damage and range calculation. The sand is irritating. This effect is a sight-based affliction attack that ignores DR, but has no effect on someone who cannot see.

Monster: Derro Derro are afflicted by a form of racial madness, which most often manifests as delusions of grandeur coupled with an overpowering urge to inflict torment on other creatures. Derro are capable of holding their murderous impulses in check for short periods of time in order to cooperate with creatures of other races, but such arrangements rarely last more than a few weeks. Of course, no derro is capable of recognizing that he is out of his mind. Derro are stealthy and bloodthirsty. They like to carefully arrange cruel traps and deadly ambushes, and strike savagely from hiding. They delight in taking captives who can be tortured to death later, and favor traps and poisons that disable without killing.

The template is cheap enough for a player character to take.

HAG COVEY

From time to time, a trio of hags gathers as a covey. Hags in a covey rely on deception and their boosted magical abilities in combat. A covey of hags is likely to be guarded by ogres and evil giants who do their bidding. Hags in a covey can take additional spell-like abilities that are related to necromancy, weather control, and curses. All three hags must be within 3 yards of one another, and all must participate to cast such spells, requiring them to apply the Accessibility, Only with 2 assistants, -10% limitation to the spells. Once per month, a covey that does not have a hag eye can create one from a gem worth at least $100 (see below).

Hag Eye A hag eye is a magic gem created by a covey. It appears to be nothing more than a semiprecious stone, but a gem of seeing or other such effect reveals it as a disembodied eye. Often, a hag eye is worn as a ring, brooch, or other adornment. Any of the three hags who created the hag eye can see through it whenever they wish, so long as it is on the same plane of existence as the hag. A hag eye has DR 4 and HP 2. Destroying a hag eye deals 1d injury to each member of the covey and causes the one who sustained the greatest damage to be blinded for 24 hours.

Weakening Presence: The sight of a sea hag is so revolting that anyone (other than creatures exluded by the hag) who sets eyes upon one must roll against HT every second or lose 1 ST. Lower all skills based on ST by a like amount. ST penalties also reduce BL and damage. HP is not otherwise affected. This ability can only affect living beings, and its effects are cumulative. Evil Eye (12): Three times per day, a sea hag can cast its dire gaze upon any single creature. If the hag wins in a Quick Contest of Will, the victim becomes paralyzed for three days. The hag’s roll takes a -1 penalty per yard of distance.

Sharp Claws (12): 1d-3 cutting, Reach C. Captivating Song (9): A harpy can sing a captivating song that affects creatures within 16 yards of her that can hear the song. She can exclude any creatures from this effect. To affect each victim, the harpy must win a Quick Contest of IQ with the victim’s Will, using normal range penalties (p. B550). Apply a -1 penalty per creature already under harpy’s control. If the harpy loses, she cannot attempt to control that victim again for 24 hours, and he feels a sense of mental coercion emanating from the harpy. On a critical failure, the harpy also loses control of anyone else under the influence of this ability! Captivated victims do everything they can to come as close as possible to the harpy while she keeps taking Concentrate maneuvers and for margin of failure minutes after she stops. If the harpy is incapacitated, or if the victim is forced to move through something that can cause his death, roll another Quick Contest.

Posted by Enraged Eggplant at 01:00:00 Labels: D&D, GURPS, monster, template Thursday, 7 March 2019 Monster: Kuo-toa

Monster: Kuo-toa I've always overlooked the kuo-toas, believing them to be just another aquatic race. Now I see that they are actually very interesting. They use exotic weapons that I've decided to represent as sasumata in GURPS terms, they can make objects very sticky (useful for creating traps and binding shields), launch lightning bolts when with a friend, and their vision is so acute that they can even quite reliably notice invisible beings.

Kuo-toa [Monster Manual, page 163]

207 points Attributes: ST+1 [10]; HT+1 [10]. Secondary Characteristics: Basic Move -1 [-5]. Advantages: Acute Vision 15 [30]; Amphibious [10]; DR 1 (Tough Skin, -40%) [3]; Doesn’t Breathe (Gills) [10]; Enhanced Move 1 (Water) [20]; Immunity to Poison [15]; Infravision [10]; Pressure Support 2 [10]; Sharp Teeth [1]; Slippery 5 [10]; Speak Underwater [5]. Adhesive: Binding 12 (Extended Duration, 30,000x, +180%; Immediate Preparation Required, 1 hour, -75%; Melee Attack, Reach C, Cannot Parry, -35%; Sticky, +20%; Only Damaged by Burning and Cutting, +20%; Trigger, Ingredients, -10%) [48]. Electricity Resistance: DR 5 (Includes Eyes, +10%; Includes Internal, +20%; Limited, Electricity, -40%; Tough Skin, -40%) [13]. Lightning Bolt: Burning Attack 2d (Accessibility, Only with a kuo-toa assistant, -10%; Cone, 1 yard, +60%; Costs 1 FP, -5%; Increased 1/2D Range, x5, +10%; Magical, -10%; Nuisance Effect, Behaves erratically around conductors, -5%; Reduced Range, 1/5, -20%; Side Effect, Stunning, +50%; Surge, +20%; Takes Recharge, 5 seconds, -10%) [17]. Disadvantage: Bad Smell [-10]. Features: Night Vision 5 [0]. Creature Type: Monstrous Humanoid.

Typical Stats ST: 11 HP: 11 Speed: 5.25 DX: 10 Will: 10 Move: 4 ground, 4 water IQ: 10 Per: 10 HT: 11 FP: 11 SM: +0 Dodge: 9 Parry: 10 DR: 1 (tough skin), 5 (vs. electricity) Pincer Staff Swing (13): 2d-1 crushing, Reach 1-2. Stats are as for sasumata, p. LT62. Pincer Staff Thrust (13): 1d-2 cutting, Reach 1-2. Unbalanced. This attack enables the rules under Hook (p. LT54), and may also damage the victim. The pincer staff ends in a wide, blunt fork intended to enclose the opponent’s torso. A pincer staff wielder can shove (p. B372) a standing foe using the Staff skill, or pin (p. B370) him if he’s prone or against a wall – both at Reach 1, 2. Stats are as for sasumata, p. LT62. Sharp Teeth (12): 1d-1 cutting. Reach C. Adhesive (12): Kuo-toas use their own body oil in combination with other materials (these cost $48 per use and can be found with a Naturalist roll) to create an adhesive film that holds fast any creatures or items touching it. Typically, this is applied to their shields to trap weapons and body parts that strike or are blocked by it. A kuo- toa requires 1 hour to coat an item or one hex with this adhesive. The adhesive remains good for up to three days or until it actually catches someone or something. Adhesive has ST 12 and can only be damaged by cutting or burning attacks. See Binding, p. B40 for more details. Lightning Bolt (12): Two or more kuo-toas operating together can generate a stroke of lightning. The kuo-toas must join hands to launch the bolt. It deals 2d burning surge damage, costs 1 FP, and takes 5 seconds to recharge. Range 5/10, maximum width 1 yard. Targets stuck by this attack must make an HT roll, at -1 per 2 points of penetrating damage, or be physically stunned. On subsequent turns, they can roll HT to recover. This attack behaves unpredictably around conductors; see Lightning (GURPS Magic, p. 196) for more details.

Lens/Monster: Celestial Creature/Celestial Lion D&D 3.5 has templates that can be applied to creatures to create variations. Lenses in GURPS serve the same purpose, and here we have the first template/lens from Monster Manual - celestial creature. It can be used to create celestial creatures based on existing creatures. The base creature for the lens (lion) was taken from Animalia in GURPS - a great resource that is unfortunately not updated anymore - and tweaked a bit, so you won't have to look up some new advantages from that website.

NEW SORCERY SPELLS

Dimension Door Keywords: None. Full Cost: 60 points. Casting Roll: IQ; Special casting time and FP cost. Range: Self. Duration: Instantaneous.

You teleport to another place within 10 yards that you able to see with your own eyes. You can carry up to Medium Encumbrance when you travel. Modify the casting roll as follows: Preparation Time: The amount of time taken to prepare for the teleport affects the IQ roll, as follows: Preparation Time IQ Modifier None -10 1 second -5 2 seconds -4 4 seconds -3 8 seconds -2 15 seconds -1 30 seconds 0 1 minute +1 2 minutes +2 4 minutes +3 8 minutes +4 15 minutes +5 30 minutes +6 1 hour +7 2 hours +8 4 hours +9 8 hours +10 This table is not open-ended; +10 is the maximum possible bonus. Fatigue Points: Apply a bonus of +1 per additional FP spent. You must declare this before you roll, and you lose the FP whether you succeed or fail. You never have to spend FP, but it is usually a good idea if you must travel far or without much preparation. On a success, you appear at your target destination. On a failure, you go nowhere. On a critical failure, you arrive at the wrong destination. This can be anywhere the GM wishes! It need not be dangerous, but it should seriously inconvenience you. You can cast this spell to evade attacks in combat. Once per turn, you may teleport to any space you can see within 10 yards, instantly. This is considered a dodge. Of course, the IQ + Talent roll will be at -10 for instant use, so you might want to spend FP to improve your odds! Statistics: Warp (Extra Carrying Capacity, Medium, +20%; No Strain, +25%; Range Limit, 10 yards, -50%; Sorcery, -15%; Vision-Based, Reversed, -20%) [60].

Monsters: Angels

From front to back - astral deva, planetar, solar

Angels are powerful good outsiders. Biblical angels have a 9-rank hierarchy, and some of the angels have weird non-humanoid forms. For example, the ophanim are wheels with multiple eyes. But D&D prefers generic-looking humanoid angels.

I do not know if many people have encountered angels in their games, especially as enemies, because the angels are supposed to be the "good guys". Probably, they play the role of mentor/quest-giver/ally NPCs more often than the role of an enemy. I think that a conflict between an angel and a paladin on the basis of different interpretations of a deity's dogma could be interesting.

The astral deva presented here is the least of all angels, but nevertheless quite powerful. Astral devas possess high elemental resistances, flight, and a plethora of magical abilities, including healing, invisibility, dispelling, and even plane shift. For some reason they do not wear any armor. Maybe it's uncomfortable to wear armor with wings? But anyway, their active defenses are quite good too. Their only non-elemental DR can be overcome with unholy weapons.

The planetar presented below was supposed to be significantly more powerful than the astral deva, but turned out being only slightly better. The planetar gains two new magical abilities - power word: stun and lesser restoration, but loses plane shift. On the other hand, the planetar gains regeneration that can be overcome with unholy weapons.

Posted by Enraged Eggplant at 05:00:00 Labels: D&D, GURPS, monster, template Tuesday, 29 November 2016 Monsters: Archons

Monsters: Archons Archons are celestial paragons of good and order/law. All of them possess some useful innate magical abilities, such as protection from evil and teleport, but they are very different otherwise. This post will detail three common archon species - the lantern archon, the hound archon, and the trumpet archon.

Lantern archons are celestial balls of light that sometimes serve as familiars for some spellcasters. They aren't strong physically, aren't very smart, but still can defend themselves with light rays. As all other archons, this little guy projects an aura of awe, can create light, detect evil, protect from evil, and teleport. Even though lantern archons do not have mouths, they can speak, and the teleport spell-like ability allows them to be good messengers.

Hound archons look like anthropomorphic hounds. They are much more focused on tracking and combating evil foes. Axiomatic Weapon and Holy Weapon allows them to negate some defenses of evil outsiders, and Teleport, Message, and Detect Evil allows them to find, track, and stalk their quarry, and coordinate their efforts with their comdares. Also, they can assume a shape of a canine animal.

Monster: Chaos Beast Chaos beast is an extraplanar monster that is constantly changing its shape. Despite having no stable form, it can only attack with its claws and can only manage two attacks per second, even though it can appear to have dozens of tentacles or other limbs. Its touch can curse the victim with a similar corporeal instability.

Its Basic Move is reduced by 2, it gains Injury Tolerance (Homogenous, No Blood, No Head, No Neck), Invertebrate, Mute, No Legs (Slithers), and No Manipulators. It cannot wear any armor or use any items in this state - they all become useless and fall from the victim’s body. In addition, the victim constantly experiences terrible pain (p. B428). The victim can negate this effect and return to its natural form by taking a Concentrate maneuver a making a successful Will-4 roll. If successful, he retains his shape until the end of his next turn.

Monster: Arch-Vile "One of the worst of a bad lot. You can't think of enough rotten things to say about him. He's fast, hard to kill, casts spells, and resurrects dead monsters! At least these suckers are rare." ― Doom II Manual description

I couldn't have said it any better. I hate these guys, and always will. They are primary targets, but they are hard to hit if they are surrounded by other monsters. They do not have any problems hitting you back though. And if you clear out the monsters in the way, the arch-viles just resurrect them back. Here's my GURPS adaptation of this truly vile monster. His supernatural abilities are presented in a form of Sorcery spells, so they may be useful even for those who won't use the monster.

Hellfire Pillar Keywords: Resisted (HT). Full Cost: 111 points. Casting Roll: Will. Range: Unlimited. Duration: Instantaneous.

You raise your arms as they begin to glow red, concentrate, then clap your hands, causing your subject to be engulfed by an explosion of hellfire that throws him upwards. You must Concentrate for two consecutive seconds, and then take the third Concentrate maneuver to finish casting the spell. This gives your subject time to notice that he is being engulfed by flames (they are harmless until you finish casting the spell) and break line of sight! If your subject fails to resist, he takes 4d burning damage ignoring his DR. Anything nearby takes “collateral” damage from the explosion equal to basic damage divided by (3 x the distance in yards from the blast). This is burning damage that treats any targets as if they were two steps more flammable (see Making Things Burn, p. B433). If a target catches fire (p. B434), this hellfire does an extra +1 damage; e.g., 1d-3 per second instead of 1d-4 if only partially on fire. It can only be extinguished with magic, or with Essential Water. Resist Fire does not protect against hellfire damage unless it has been cast at the second level of protection. Additionally, the subject takes 6d knockback damage. It does not deal any damage, but sends the subject upwards, which can deal additional fall damage or make the subject fall prone on a failed landing. If the subject was moving, the momentum is saved, and this spell lets the subject “jump” higher, although at a serious price. Statistics: Burning Attack 4d (Based on HT, +20%; Cosmic, Lingering Side Effect, +100%; Explosion 1, +50%; Incendiary 2, +20%; Malediction 2, +150%; Requires Gestures, -10%; Sorcery, -15%; Takes Extra Time 1, -10%) [81] + Crushing Attack 3d (Double Knockback, +20%; Follow-Up, +140%; Magical, -10%; No Wounding, -50%; Upwards, +0%) [30].

Raise Demon Keywords: Buff. Full Cost: 223 points. Casting Roll: None. Use DX or unarmed combat skill to hit. Range: Touch. Duration: 1 minute.

You can bring a demon back from the dead, if his body is not completely destroyed (-10xHP or worse). You must touch the corpse to affect it. You glow red when casting this spell. If the subject does not want to come back (GM’s opinion, for NPCs), the spell fails automatically. This subject recovers 60 HP in 1 minute – if this brings him back above -HP before the duration ends, he returns to life! But if it’s not enough, or if the initial HT roll fails, he cannot be resurrected. Statistics: Affliction 1 (HT; Accessibility, Only on demons, -60%; Advantage, Raise Demon, +2,250%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Melee Attack, Reach C, Cannot Parry, -35%; Reduced Duration, 1/3, -10%; Sorcery, -15%) [223]. Notes: “Raise Demon” is Regeneration (Very Fast; Cosmic, Works on the dead, +50%) [150] + Unkillable 1 (Cosmic, Works on the dead, +50%) [75]. This version of Cosmic means it only works on the dead – not injured living demons – and gives one try, ever.

Monster: Cerebrilith I have always liked the design of cerebriliths from Expanded Psionics Handbook, but I never had a chance to use them in D&D.

Reach C-1. Sharp Beak (14): 2d large piercing (KYOS: 3d+1 large piercing). Reach C. Stunning Screech (14): Once per hour the vrock can emit a screech that stuns every non-demon everyone in a cone-shaped area. Cones use special rules; see Area and Spreading Attacks (p. B413). The cone has a maximum width of 5 yards at the maximum range of 10 yards. This ability has no 1/2D range. Everyone within must resist with HT; Protected Hearing gives +5, Hard of Hearing gives +4, and those with Deafness are immune. Spores: Once every 15 seconds the vrock can emit a 2-yard radius cloud of spores around himself. This requires a Concentrate maneuver and costs 1 FP. The spores work as a contact agent, ignoring unsealed DR and dealing 1 point of toxic damage every 10 seconds for 6 cycles total. At the end of this time, the victim is covered with a tangle of viny growths. The vines are harmless and wither away in 1d4 days. The spores can be removed with a successful Physician roll (takes 10 seconds). Bless, neutralize poison, or remove disease kills the spores, as does sprinkling the victim with a vial of holy water. Dance of Ruin: To use this ability, a group of at least three vrocks must join hands in a circle, dancing wildly and chanting. At the end of 16 seconds of dancing, a wave of crackling energy flashes outward in a 32-yard radius. All creatures except for demons within the radius take 6d crushing damage. This affects even insubstantial creatures. Stunning, paralyzing, or slaying one of the vrocks stops the dance. The dance costs each vrock 2 FP.

Posted by Enraged Eggplant at 01:00:00 Sunday, 3 September 2017 Monster: Chain Devil (Kyton)

Monster: Chain Devil (Kyton) The chain devil is one of the most interesting devil types in D&D, in my opinion. They fall out of the traditional tanar'ri hierarchy, and in Pathfinder they are a whole separate outsider type altogether. A kyton is physically strong, but not particulary bright. He's always covered in a layer of chains, which provide him unreliable DR in addition to his naturally resistant skin. Use of holy and/or silver weapons is advised. The chains effectively grant the chain devil a pair of kusaris - Reach 1-4 flail-like swinging attacks. They hit hard and are hard to parry. What makes things worse is the kyton's ability to animate other chains, allowing him to strike distant enemies. If the enemies wield chains, then it makes things even worse. In addition, making his face resemble the face of a loved one or the worst enemy can be very unsettling.

The damage includes the +1 bonus for improvised brass knuckles. Chains (15): 2d+2 crushing, Reach 1-4*. The chains are awkward enough that they require a Ready maneuver to change reach (e.g., between 1 and 2). Otherwise, the kyton can strike at foes that are at any distance within the chains’ reach. Attempts to parry the chains are at -4, and fencing weapons cannot parry at all! Attempts to block chains are at -2. This swinging attack is unbalanced – the kyton cannot use it to parry if he have already used it to attack this turn (or vice versa), and parries with the chains are at -2. The kyton has two chain attacks, which permits him Dual-Weapon Attacks (p. B417). This attack uses the Kusari skill. Dancing Chains (15): The chain devil can animate any chain within 10 yards of him. He can animate up to 8 yards of chain, assuming the chain weighs 2 lbs. per yard. 8 yards of chain have 20 HP. An animated chain can grab, lift, strike, and throw with ST equal to its HP/2. It has the chain devil’s DX. It can walk and jump if it isn’t fixed in place; Move equals 10–HP/2. The chain devil can use skills through animated chains (including Kusari to make swinging attacks) – but note that chains have No Fine Manipulators. Chains return to their rest state once the chain devil gives up control. Unnerving Gaze (11): The chain devil can make its face resemble one of an opponent’s departed loved ones or bitter enemies with a Concentrate maneuver. The victim must be within 10 yards. Roll a Quick Contest of Will with the victim. If the chain devil wins, roll 3d for the Fright Check result, as usual, but add his margin of victory instead of his margin of failure.

Flaming Longbow (15): 1d+1 impaling + 1d follow-up burning, Acc 3, Range 165/220, RoF 1, Shots 1(2). Entangle (15): Each erinyes carries a stout rope some 50 feet long that entangles anyone it strikes. The erinyes uses Whip skill for this attack. It is treated as a melee attack with a range equal to the rope’s length, but not more than 20 yards. On a hit, the victim is grappled (see p. B370) and rooted in place. He cannot select the Move or Change Posture maneuvers or change facing, and is at -4 to DX. The ST of this effect is equal to 10. To break free, the victim must win a Quick Contest of ST or Escape skill against 10. Each attempt takes one second. If the victim fails to break free, he loses 1 FP but may try again. Alternatively, he may try to destroy the rope. Innate Attacks hit automatically; other attacks are at -4. External attacks on the rope take no penalty, but risk hitting the victim on a miss (see Striking Into a Close Combat, p. B392). The rope has DR 3. Each point of damage reduces ST by one. At ST 0, the rope is destroyed and the victim is freed. When the erinyes successfully uses this ability to entangle someone, she retains a line to her target. On subsequent turns, she can take a Ready maneuver to pull the victim toward her (or drag herself toward them, if they’re heavy enough). Use erinyes’ ST for this. However, if the bound subject’s hands are free, or someone else grabs the line, they can try to pull the erinyes! Releasing the rope is a free action on the erinyes’ turn.

Monsters: Imps Here we have several impish monsters. The D&D version of imp is a small shapeshifting devil with a poisonous sting. It's weak, but can be very annoying thanks to the invisibility. The imp from the classical installments of Doom is a weak monster that can scratch and throw fireballs. The nightmare imp from Doom 64 is the classical Doom imp on steroids and with chameleon skin. The imp from the modern installments of Doom can cling to walls and ceilings and jump very far.

NEW SORCERY SPELL

Ghaele’s Gaze Keywords: Resisted (Will). Full Cost: 27 points for level 1 + 9 points/additional level. Casting Roll: Will. Range: 10 yards. Duration: Instantaneous.

Evil creatures are terrified by ghaeles, while non-evil creatures are awed. You can target any creature within 10 yards. Roll a Quick Contest of Will with your subject. If you win, roll 3d for the result, as usual, but add your margin of victory instead of his margin of failure. Your victim gets +1 per Fright Check after the first within 24 hours. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by your Ghaele’s Gaze for one hour. Each additional level of this spell imposes -1 to the Fright Check. For example, with Ghaele’s Gaze 4, the subjects must make Fright Checks at -3. Use the standard Fright Check table for unholy creatures, but for all other subjects use the Awe variant table (GURPS Powers, page 85). Statistics: Terror (Active, +0%; Presence, +25%; Sorcery, -15%; Vision-Based, Reverse, -20%) [27]. Additional levels add -1 to the Fright Check [+9].

Posted by Enraged Eggplant at 01:00:00 Labels: D&D, GURPS, monster, template Saturday, 9 December 2017 Monster: Belker

Monster: Belker Belker is an elemental smoke monster from Monster Manual for D&D 3.5. I've never used this monster, and I think I'm not the only one to overlook this creature. Its signature ability is to transform into a smoke cloud and solidify the smoke inside creatures' lungs. While Respiratory Agents usually cannot be applied to cutting attacks, I thought that I can make an exception for this ability.

Belker [Monster Manual, page 27]

136 points Attribute Modifiers: DX+2 [40]; IQ-2 [-40]. Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: Will +2 [10]; Per +2 [10]. Advantages: Doesn’t Breathe [20]; Flight (Small Wings, -10%) [36]; Immunity to Metabolic Hazards [30]; Infravision [10]; Sharp Claws [5]; Sharp Teeth [1]. Smoke Form: Alternate Form (Smoke Form (see below); Magical, -10%) [14]. Features: No Legs (Aerial) [0]. Creature Type: Elemental (Air). Notes: Smoke Form template is ST-10 [-100]; HP+10 [20]; SM+3; Doesn’t Breathe [20]; Flight (Lighter Than Air, -10%) [36]; Immunity to Metabolic Hazards [30]; Infravision [10]; Injury Tolerance (Diffuse) [100]; No Manipulators [-50]; Taboo Trait (Fixed ST) [0]; Vulnerability (Vacuum and wind-based attacks, x2) [-20]. Smoke Claws: Cutting Attack 1d-1 (Always On, -40%; Area Effect, 2 yards, +50%; Aura, +80%; Emanation, -20%; Melee Attack, Reach C, -30%; Respiratory Agent, +50%) [10]. 56 points.

Typical Stats ST: 10 (0 in smoke form) HP: 10 Speed: 5.5 DX: 12 Will: 10 Move: 10 air IQ: 8 Per: 10 HT: 10 FP: 10 SM: +0 (+3 in smoke form) Dodge: 8 Parry: N/A DR: 0 Sharp Claws (14): 1d-2 cutting. Reach C. Sharp Teeth (14): 1d-2 cutting. Reach C. Smoke Form: The belker can transform itself into a smoke cloud with a 2-yard radius (effective SM+3). The transformation takes 10 seconds. While in smoke form, the belker has no manipulators, cannot attack, has ST 0, Injury Tolerance (Diffuse), and Vulnerability (Vacuum and wind-based attacks, x2). Its Flight becomes Lighter Than Air instead of Small Wings. While in smoke form, the belker can engulf other creatures by moving onto them. Any creature that inhales the smoke finds that the smoke solidifies into sharp claws inside its lungs, tearing the victim apart from inside. This respiratory-based attack hits automatically and deals 1d-1 cutting damage, ignoring DR. This can be prevented by holding your breath.

Traits: Doesn’t Breathe; Flight (Small Wings); Immunity to Metabolic Hazards; Infravision; No Legs (Aerial). Skills: Brawling-14; Stealth-14. Creature Type: Elemental (Air).

His body may undergo visible changes in the process – including acquiring new organs such as gills. The janni is not protected against Innate Attacks or weapons with comparable effects, or against sudden, intense changes such as collisions, explosions, explosive decompression, or fires.

Posted by Enraged Eggplant at 01:00:00 Labels: D&D, GURPS, monster, template Friday, 3 February 2017 Monster: Mudman

Monster: Mudman Mudmen are formed in pools of mud where enchanted waters collect and evaporate. Mudmen resemble short, stocky humanoids, formed of mud. They have a barrel shaped body, and long, thick arms that end in huge, roughly formed hands. Their heads are featureless, though on occasion eyes or a mouth will be formed in the mud. Once a creature enters the mudman's mud pool, the mudman senses it and assumes its humanoid form. If a creature leaves the pool, the mudmen will not follow, but will sink back down into the pool and assume their dormant state. A mudman attacks using its fists or hurling mud at its foes (its preferred form of attack).

Monster: Water Mephit

I think the one we're looking for is on the right

I always liked the mephits. They are small impish-looking humanoids from the elemental planes. Let's start with the water mephit. I have always wondered why they need wings, when they live on the Elemental Plane of Water, but whatever. The template is cheap enough to be used for characters.

Water Mephit [Monster Manual, page 185]

89 points Attribute Modifiers: ST-3 [-30]; IQ-1 [-20]. Secondary Characteristic Modifiers: SM-1. Advantages: Amphibious [10]; Blunt Claws [3]; Doesn’t Breathe (Gills, -50%) [10]; Flight (Cannot Hover, -15%; Winged, -25%) [24]; Infravision [10]; Pressure Support 1 [5]; Regeneration (Fast) [50]; Speak Underwater [5]. Spit Acid: Corrosion Attack 1d (Costs 1 FP, -5%; Increased 1/2D, 2x, +5%; Jet, +0%; Magical, -10%) [9]. Stinking Cloud [32]: Obscure Vision 3 (Drifting, +20%; Limited Use, 1/day, -40%; Link, +10%; Magical, -10%; Ranged, +50%) [8] + Affliction 1 (HT; Area Effect, 2 yards, +50%; Coughing, +20%; Drifting, +20%; Fixed Duration, +0%; Limited Use, 1/day, -40%; Link, +10%; Magical, -10%; Persistent, +40%; Respiratory Agent, +50%) [24]. Disadvantages: Unhealing (Partial; Only when submerged in water) [-20]. Creature Type: Outsider (Water).

Typical Stats ST: 7 HP: 7 Speed: 5 DX: 10 Will: 9 Move: 5 ground, 10 air (cannot hover), 5 water IQ: 9 Per: 9 HT: 10 FP: 10 SM: -1 Dodge: 8 Parry: N/A DR: 0 Blunt Claws (10): 1d-2 crushing (KYOS: 1d-5 crushing), Reach C. Spit Acid (10): A 10-yard jet of acid erupts from the mephit’s mouth. He uses Innate Attack (Breath) to hit. Don’t apply range penalties; treat this as a long melee weapon rather than a ranged attack. It does 1d corrosion damage. This ability costs 1 FP to use. Stinking Cloud (10): Once per day a mephit may fill a two-yard-radius area with bad smelling smoke. This gives -3 to all vision rolls made through it. To place the cloud at a distance, he uses Innate Attack (Gaze), with normal range penalties, but at +4 for affecting an area. The initial attack roll places the effect. It then drifts from that point with the wind. Additionally, every creature that inhales the cloud, begins to cough (is at -3 to DX and -1 to IQ, and cannot use Stealth) for 3 minutes, if it fails a HT roll.

Traits: Amphibious; Doesn’t Breathe (Gills); Infravision; Pressure Support 1; Regeneration (Fast); Speak Underwater; Unhealing (Partial; Only when submerged in water). Skills: Brawling-10; Innate Attack (Breath)-10; Innate Attack (Gaze)-10. Creature Type: Outsider (Water).

Babble (Will): When a creature hears the allip’s constant babble, it must roll a Fright Check using the Confusion table (Powers, pg. 85). If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour. Madness (Will): When a creature uses any telepathic or other mind-affecting powers on the allip, it must roll a Fright Check. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour.

Lens/Monster: Ghost/Human Fighter Ghost I was dreading this entry, because insubstantiality is very complicated and confusing in GURPS. It's not a 100% accurate conversion, but I did my best. I'll have to standardize insubstantiality types and traits for my setting someday in the future to avoid confusion.

Features: Has no FP [0]. Creature Type: Undead.

Typical Stats ST: 13 HP: 13 Speed: 5.5 DX: 11 Will: 10 Move: 5 air IQ: 10 Per: 10 HT: 11 FP: N/A SM: +0 Dodge: 11 Parry: 13 DR: 3 (light plate; torso, limbs and skull) Block: 13 (medium heavy shield, DB 2) Punch (11): 1d-1 crushing (KYOS: 1d crushing). Reach C. Thrusting Broadsword (14): 2d cut or 1d+2 impaling (KYOS: 2d-1 impaling). Reach 1. Longbow (14): 1d+2 impaling (KYOS: 2d-1 impaling), Acc 3, Range 195/260, RoF 1, Shots 1(2). Etherealness: The ghost dwells on the Ethereal Plane, where he is invisible and insubstantial to material beings, but visible and tangible to other ethereal beings. He can perceive the tangible world with a -4 penalty to spot objects at any range, and -8 to resolve fine details, but not speak normally to those within it, and he cannot pick up normal objects or affect them in any way. The ghost can materialize on a Material Plane as an insubstantial being, transporting himself through the planar boundaries as if using Jumper (p. B64). Physical and energy attacks cannot harm the materialized ghost, but he is still vulnerable to psionic and (nonmaterial) magical attacks. Likewise, his physical and energy attacks cannot affect physical opponents. The ghost’s psi abilities and magic spells can affect the physical world, but at -3 to all skill rolls. While materialized, the ghost can carry gear up to his Heavy Encumbrance. Malevolence (10): The ghost can possess material creatures. The ethereal body merges with and occupies the body of the ghost’s host. It remains insubstantial during the possession, traveling inside the host but otherwise inaccessible to him and effectively mindless. It can be injured as detailed under Parasitic, but only by attacks that affect insubstantial things. A genuine exorcist can cast the ghost out by winning a Quick Contest of his exorcism ability vs. the ghost’s Will. The ghost cannot return to a body he has been cast out of for at least 24 hours. He may choose to release his host at any time. If he is exorcised or leaves voluntarily, the host recovers after 1d seconds of mental stun. To possess a new host, the ghost must concentrate for one second and physically touch him. Attempts to possess his own Puppet (p. B78) succeed automatically. In all other cases, roll a Quick Contest: the ghost’s IQ vs. the subject’s Will. The victim resists at +5 if he is in combat with the ghost or otherwise wary of him. If the ghost loses or ties, he is mentally stunned for 1d seconds. In addition, he may never attempt to possess that subject again – he is “immune” to the ghost. If the ghost wins, he takes over the victim’s body, completely suppressing his personality. The previous host regains control of his body (if sentient) after 1d seconds of mental stun, and “comes to” with no memory of the possession. The ghost gain the new host’s ST, DX, and HT (and secondary characteristics calculated from these scores), as well as his physical advantages and disadvantages. The ghost keeps his own IQ, Perception, and Will, and all of his mental traits. His social traits may apply, depending on the laws and values of his society. Skills are a special case. The ghost’s IQ-, Perception-, and Will-based skills are unchanged. Other skills remain at the same relative skill level. For instance, if the ghost have Acrobatics at DX+3, then he would have Acrobatics-12 in a DX 9 body and Acrobatics-14 in a DX 11 body. If the ghost occupies a sentient host, he has sufficient access to his memories for the first few hours of the takeover to learn his name and daily routine, but not enough to learn IQ-based skills. To recall a specific fact from the host’s memories, the ghost must roll vs. IQ, at -1 per hour since the takeover. Only one attempt is allowed for any given memory! Rejuvenation: The ghost is very hard to destroy. Injury affects him normally, but he needs never make a HT roll to stay alive. One the ghost reaches -10xHP, he dissipates, but continues to heal normally. Once he is at full HP, his fully intact body will coalesce in a location of the GM’s choosing and returns to its old haunts. The only way to get rid of a ghost for sure is to determine the reason for its existence and set right whatever prevents it from resting in peace. The exact means varies with each spirit and may require a good deal of research.

NEW DISEASE

Ghoul Fever An afflicted creature who dies of ghoul fever rises as a ghoul at the next midnight. A creature who becomes a ghoul in this way retains none of the abilities it possessed in life. It is not under the control of any other ghouls, but it hungers for the flesh of the living and behaves like a normal ghoul in all respects. A creature has a 1-in-6 chance to rise as a ghast, not a ghoul. A creature that dies in water rises as a lacedon. Statistics: Blood; HT to resist; 1 day delay; 1d-2 toxic damage (with moderate pain after loss of 1/3 HP, severe pain after loss of 1/2 HP, terrible pain after loss of 2/3 HP); 24-hour cycle with seven cycles. Mildly contagious.

Lens/Monster: Lich Liches are powerful undead spellcasters with their souls hidden in special phylacteries. Unless the phylactery is found and destroyed, the lich is impossible to destroy permanently. Liches make for great villains, and their precious and heavily guarded phylacteries deserve whole adventures dedicated to finding them. Note that this is a D&D lich, its template differs quite significantly from the one in GURPS Magic.

Quirks: Cannot Float [-1]; Sexless [-1]. Features: Has no FP; Skull has only 2 total DR. Creature Type: Undead.

Human Wizard Lich [Monster Manual, page 166]

Typical Stats ST: 9 HP: 12 Speed: 7 DX: 12 Will: 15 Move: 7 IQ: 15 Per: 15 HT: 12 FP: - SM: +0 Dodge: 9 Parry: 12 DR: 3, 2 (ring of protection +2), 20 (vs. cold and electricity) Quarterstaff (14): swing 1d+1 crushing, Reach 1-2; or thrust 1d crushing (KYOS: 1d-1 crushing), Reach 1-2. Lich’s Touch (12): The lich can touch another creature, infusing it with necromantic energies. This touch deals 2d toxic damage. In addition, the victim must make an HT roll. Should he fail, he becomes permanently paralyzed. This condition cannot be dispelled by Dispel Magic, but is susceptible to Relieve Paralysis, Stop Paralysis, Remove Curse, or a similar effect. Fear Aura: When a creature sees the lich’s horrifying visage, it must roll a Fright Check at -1. If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour. The lich can exclude any creatures from this effect. Phylactery: An integral part of becoming a lich is creating a magic phylactery in which the lich stores its life force. As a rule, the only way to get rid of a lich for sure is to destroy its phylactery. When the lich reaches -10xHP, he does not die, unless its phylactery is located and destroyed. After this apparent death, the lich falls unconscious and heals normally. Once it is at full HP, its fully intact body coalesces at its phylactery’s location. The most common form of phylactery is a sealed metal box containing strips of parchment on which magical phrases have been transcribed. The box has SM-6, DR 3, HP 10. Other forms of phylacteries can exist, such as rings, amulets, or similar items. Regardless of its form, the point value of the ability does not change – the phylactery can be hidden in a remote place, and it will still work, so its vulnerability in combat is not an appropriate limitation. Note that this is not a magical ability – a lich will still return to unlife even in a no-mana zone.

Monster: Shadow Shadows are lesser incorporeal undead creatures that can create shadows from killed victims. Never been fond of these things in D&D. Also, I find it peculiar, that the shadows did not have anything like Shadow Form advantage/disadvantage in the original source, even though they look two- dimensional on their art.
