Aquilae: Bestiary of the Realm is dedicated to my long-suffering wife, who, for countless dozens—in truth, well over a hundred—evenings, endured my relentless clicking to bring the crunch herein to life. Introduction Foreward This project was born of two urgent desires, formed in the But it irked me still. early days of D&D. Fast forward a few decades, and I just decided to do it my Back during the BECMI boxed-set era, I was in middle school, own damn self. and I discovered tabletop roleplaying games. And I was in We’ve seen much of this come to pass, of course. Video love. Deeply, irrevocably in love. games like the Elder Scrolls games implement scaling But my new love had two problems. Teen romance, amirite? monsters, so that an orc is a threat no matter how potent your character becomes. Playing brutally challenging games Firstly, she was picky. Her published adventures stated such as the Dark Souls line, you have to always be careful of in bold font, right on their covers, that only PCs of certain even the very earliest beasties, lest your impatience lead to levels need apply. I several times ignored her warning, and your doom, regardless of how potent you have grown. ventured forth, only to discover the sensibility of her dictum, for this way lies the path of either boredom or certain Similarly, online resources like the Pathfinder SRD collect destruction. Though I saw the Intelligence of her claims, still monsters across a wide range of sources and present them I longed for an adventure more accessible to all: my PC got to alphabetically. be 10th level, but her reward is to be closed off from newly- When I set out to create Dark Obelisk 1: Berinncorte, I knew released adventures that gated her off in favor of “PCs of 4th that I wanted it to be accessible, playable in earnest, by PCs to 6th level”? Similarly, just because my PC has gained in of any level. power, she shouldn’t be intimidated by monsters of a certain description any longer? That simple, middle-school naivete has now driven thousands of pages of dynamic adventure content. It seemed that somehow, it should be possible to fashion adventure content that scales more dynamically. And now, though this is but one volume of six, it has yielded a true fulfillment of my middle-school-self’s desires. My new love’s second fault was actually one of my favorite things about her: the Monstrous Compendium. Here’s hoping it brings your gaming group joy. For those under a certain age reading this, a bit of context, here. In those days of limited entertainment options, the Trapper Keeper was king. It was the coolest, most essential J. Evans Payne school supply. Yeah, sure, it was really just a glorified three- Malvern, Pennsylvania ring binder. But it was a binder you could make into pretty much whatever combination of tools you felt you needed January 2020 (spoiler: you didn’t need any of it, not really). So when the AD&D Monstrous Compendium was released, it felt in many ways like the ultimate culmination of geekery: an RPG sourcebook that masqueraded as the coolest school tool. It made any DM feel like they were in a legitimate profession, a job, a place of importance, and it added authority to the gaming table. Plus it was just damned cool. There was just one problem. Monsters were presented alphabetically. That was great; made for some pretty easy reference and searching. But pages were printed back-to-back. So, a single sheet might contain information about two different monsters. That was all well and good until you purchased your second MC pack (remember Spelljammer?): what, then, to do, to keep things alphabetized? It was a frustrating hassle. Now, youSample might well point out that it simply doesn’t matter file that much, to have every monster alphabetized. And even my middle-school self, in the moment, still realized the futility and pointlessness of this irk. It didn’t matter. Not really.

10 Damage Types Generally speaking, the differentiation as to what sort of damage a creature suffers is only meaningful if it possesses resistance, or vulnerability, to that type of damage. Otherwise, ignore the damage type. Introduction Variable Challenge One might argue that the Variable Challenge concept is at the very heart of Aquilae: Bestiary of the Realm and why it exists in the first place. The degree to which a particular GM, or even gaming group, enjoys perusing and tweaking game statistics—“crunch”, in common parlance—varies, of course. Some GMs love crunch, and spend a majority of their prep time creating and refining their challenges to ensure the crunch is accurate and appropriately challenging. On the other end of the spectrum are “by the seat of their pants” GMs, who ignore crunch almost entirely, rarely referring to stat blocks lest it distract from the focus of storytelling.
“Quadded” Stat Blocks Toward the goal of having an adventure that can be run with PCs of various levels, all NPCs and monsters in this adventure have four separate sets of statistics.
These represent iterations of the creature in four distinct scales of challenge. These scales are referred to, in ascending difficulty, asLow , Moderate, Advanced, and Elite.
Low-level statistics are the default, and are intended for parties of 1st to 4th level PCs. Typically, the Low CR for a creature will be in the range of fractional, up to 4. You may see this referred to as “1L”.
Moderate statistics present a bit more challenge, and are meant for 5th to 8th level PCs. CRs can be in the range from 4-10. You may see this referred to as “2M”.
Advanced creatures give even more of a fight, representing CRs in the range of 10-15, and are meant for adventurers of the same levels. You may see this referred to as “3A”.
Elite monsters and NPCs are the most evolved, and present formidable difficulty in the 12-20CR range. These stat blocks are designed for PCs above 15th level. You may see this referred to as “4E”. To avoid confusion, elsewhere in the text outside of the creature’s quadded stat block definition, the statistics referred to are the Low, or default, block. For example, the condensed, “vital stats” block that is shown in red where the NPC or monster is introduced in the adventure uses the Low values.Sample file

Each GM and player has their own relationship to these It’s worth noting that not every monster and NPC is meant game elements, and preferences as to their balance in to be defeated in combat… in fact, the GM is encouraged gameplay. Some groups live by crunch, and largely ignore to award XP only for combat that is consistent with the fluff; adventures tend to be little more than an organized alignment and characters of the PCs, or if they are forced dungeon crawl, and min/maxing your PC’s character into combat by circumstances beyond their control.

During this period the larvae are vulnerable to expulsion by remove disease. If successful, the hive larvae die inside of the host, dealing another 1d6 points of acid damage. After 24 hours, the hive larvae achieve symbiosis. The host awakens feeling healthy but hungry. Spells such as diagnose disease and Heal checks used to detect disease no longer detect the hive Sampleinfestation, and the host creature is now treated as both its original creature typefile and an aberration for purposes of spells and effects (whichever is worse). If the host dies at this point, the larval infestation dies as well. However, if the host is then returned from the dead, the larvae are returned to life as well. The swarm fully matures 2d12 hours after symbiosis. By this point, there is no way to save the host short of a miracle or wish spell. Each round for 2d12 rounds, the host suffers agonizing pain and must succeed at a Fortitude save or be nauseated for 1 round. On each failed save, the host takes 4d6 points of damage as the mature hive creature forcibly separates itself.
