Blood Servants

STR 5, DEX 5, CHA 5, 5hp
d6 Needle-Swords
Bloated Bodies

• Waddle about serving their Blood Master in disgusting body-horror chores.
• Bicker with each other about who Master loves most of all (he loathes them all).
• If reduced to STR 0: Explode in a shower of burning blood (d6 Blast) invigorating their Master (restore their STR).

These creatures resemble bald, bloated dwarfs, usually found waddling around the lairs of their vampire masters. They serve without question, usually carrying out menial tasks, acting as lookouts and being disposable sources of blood when the need arises. Creating a Bloodling is a process that only a vampire can carry out and involves biting a captured victim in a particular way while casting a Command spell. This causes them to swell with blood and become completely at the command of their master.

2

Elemental Conduit

STR 7, DEX 7, CHA 18. 12hp

• An elemental cultist that has given up their sapience to become a channel for elemental beings to enter our plane.

Eternal Apprentice

Dagger (d6)

• Their spirit is released if the master’s corpse is destroyed.

Lich variation.

Floating Corpse - Not-Quite-Right Dead Forms

STR 8. No HP, but automatically pass Saves vs Critical Damage. You have to hack them down to STR 0.

• Float silently, patrolling along a set route.
• Bump harmlessly against intruders, making a gross mess and distracting from other tasks.
• In the presence of the Dark Wizard that animated them they errupt in a flailing spasm (d8 claws)

Dark Wizards may create these horrors without the exertion required in creating a mass of zombies or skeletons. These rotting corpses float upright a few inches off the ground, making no sound as they patrol a set area or head towards a given point. If patrolling they will turn and float towards any intruders they notice, unable to attack, but often serving as a deterrent for inexperienced intruders. When they reach their target they do nothing but helplessly bump against them, hoping to provoke enough of a noise to alert the real guards.

6

Lich

(Classic version)

STR 7, DEX 7, CHA 18, 15hp
Ceremonial Dagger (d6)
Lots of Spells

• Great magical powers
• Physically weak
• Themes of greed and immortality

It is a type of undead creature. Often such a creature is the result of a transformation, as a powerful magician skilled in necromancy or a king striving for eternal life using spells or rituals to bind his intellect and soul to his "phylactery" and thereby achieving a form of immortality. Liches are depicted as being clearly cadaverous, bodies desiccated or completely skeletal.

• Spray a sticky web-acid (d10 Blast, anyone taking STR Damage is webbed until cut free from the outside) once per day.
• Cower in fear from even the smallest bird.

These towering horrors would seem to be prime examples of a wizard's experiment gone wrong. They are, in fact, natural creatures predating even Dragons, which they are unrelated to. Forced to the surface from their home deep beneath the ground they have developed a taste for cattle and slowly gained tolerance to sunlight. They resemble pale, gigantic six-legged spiders with a hideous head sporting beady eyes and an unfolding jaw bristling with teeth. No one has ever been known to tame one of these beasts or find a nest of young.
