A dybbuk is a misplaced soul who has eluded judgment.

Most dybbuks desperately seek a new body to inhabit.

Yellow Musk Creeper (Solitary, Large, Devious)

Tendril (d6 damage) 16 HP 0 armor

Special Qualities: Sprays Yellow Musk Zombie Pollen

The yellow musk creeper is a hideous plant that grows in haunted graveyards, grisly battlefields, and other places where death hangs heavy in the air and thick in the soil. The yellow musk creeper’s method of procreation is singularly frightful—it slays the living, infests them with its seeds and pollen, then animates them as zombies. These zombies serve the plant as a guardian, but when new zombies are created, older ones wander off, collapsing and breaking apart to give seed to a new yellow musk creeper.

Custom Move: When you inhale yellow musk pollen, ROLL+WIS.

On a 10+, you keep control.

On a 7-9, choose 1:

You’re not dizzy for hours.(1 on all rolls until you next make camp)

You don’t have to Defy danger vs. WIS to attack the musk.

You don’t take your friends for musk zombies.

On a 6, you’re under the yellow musk charm. Fall asleep in the deadly embrace of the Yellow Musk Creeper, zombie soon to be…

Inspired by this blog post (http://blog.trilemma.com/2014/10/non-mechanical-difficulty-levels-for.html?m=0), I’ve been thinking of tags that can be applied to dangers to reflect their disposition. These tags can be used to paint a picture of what an engagement against that danger would be like: how quickly the PCs get noticed, how the danger reacts, etc. here’s what I have so far, what others could be added?

• Slow: They are relatively easy to run away from.

• Fast: They can outrun an average human, making escape difficult.

• Unorganized: They do not work well together or communicate poorly, and could be dealt with piecemeal.

• Factional: There are factions within the group that don’t always get along, creating opportunities to make alliances or divide and conquer.

• Militaristic: They are disciplined and trained to quickly and aggressively respond to threats.

• Gestalt: They operate as one mind. If one knows something, they all know, and they can coordinate with frightening efficiency.

• Defensive: They act to drive others away from their immediate homes, but not any further.

• Territorial: They pursue threats to their territory, which may be as large as an entire region, and won’t stop until the threat has left the area.

• Vengeful: If you mess with them, they’ll make sure you won’t do it again.

• Proactive: They are actively searching for threats, and will bring the fight to them.

• Vigilant: They have scouts, keen senses, or magical scrying to warn them of approaching danger.

• Stationary: They cannot move from their position.

• Site-Bound: They don’t leave the site where they are found.

• Ranging: Their reach is far and wide, able to cross entire regions.

• Horde: There are hundreds of them, or maybe even thousands.

• Stealthy: They remain hidden from sight until it’s too late. Expect ambushes.

Ed ecco una carrellata di mostri stile Xmas!

Auguri…in tutti i sensi😆

Bulbello Corinzio

Il Bulbello Corinzio è un mammifero di forma sferica, del diametro di 187 metri, totalmente privo di arti; nell’immagine ne vedete un piccolo dettaglio.

La superficie del suo corpo è ricoperta da circa 42 milioni di occhi senza palpebre.

Vive in una zona estremamente ventosa al confine del Deserto del Gobi, spesso teatro di violente tempeste di sabbia, nei pressi della fabbrica di peperoncino in polvere “Emho Rrhoid” (questa fabbrica è famosa per essere la più inefficiente al mondo: su 4 tonnellate di peperoncino in polvere prodotto ogni mese, 3 si disperdono nei dintorni).

Il Bulbello Corinzio si nutre di moscerini che però, essendo completamente cieco, è costretto a cacciare tenendo semplicemente la bocca aperta (ne possiede solo una) nella speranza che qualcuno ci finisca dentro per sbaglio (ma il più delle volte gli si infilano in un occhio).

È anche noto per aver coniato alcune delle bestemmie più blasfeme mai udite.
