Section 1: New classes

The Adventurer
The adventurer is a quite common class, very well adapted to the adventuring life. Adventurers
can fight well, perform a few thief abilities and cast a few magical spells when needed. They are a very
welcome addition to any adventuring party. Adventurers are a sub-class of warrior. They fight and
make their saving throws as warriors. They can not use armor heavier than the chain mail because it
would hinder too much their thieving abilities. Adventurers can use any weapon.

The thief abilities of adventurers are: hear noise, hide in shadows, move silently, open locks, read
languages and find/remove traps. At first level, the base percentage of these abilities is:
Hear Noise: 15%
Hide in Shadows: 5%
Move Silently: 10%
Open Locks: 10%
Read Languages: 0%
Find/Remove Traps: 5%
 They have 50 discretionary points to add to these abilities (not more than 25% in each). At every
level thereafter, they gain 20 additional points (max 10% increase in each). They have a bonus to armor
class that is improving along with the levels, due to special defense techniques that is part of their
training. At first level, they have 3 weapon and 3 non-weapon proficiencies and they gain one of each
every three levels afterwards. They can be of any alignment. The requirements for becoming an
adventurer are not stringent, strength, dexterity and intelligence of 9. Any result of 47 or more in those
three abilities grants the adventurer a 10% bonus on experience points.
Adventurers can be human, elven or half-elven.

The Battle Priest

The battle priest is the strong arm of a church. Some war-god faiths rather have believers fight for
their cause rather than mercenaries, that is the reason of the battle priest's existence. Battle priests are
formed in their church as well as in a fighter's school. They also have access to priest spells, beginning
at second level. They advance in levels at a slower rate than fighters or priests but they have the
advantages of both.
Battle priests often go into adventuring simply because it's a good way to become powerful. War
gods like to have powerful followers. Their adventures need not have a direct link to the cause of their
faith but they will never go against it or they immediately lose their status and become 0-level
characters. Due to its intensive combat training, the battle priest receives all the advantages of a fighter,
attack table, exceptional strength, constitution bonus and specialization (includes double
specialization). They can use all magic items usable for fighters and clerics.
Battle priests are alignment-bounded, their alignment has to be the same as their god. The battle
priests can not associate, even momentarily, with anyone having a faith contradictory to his own (good
vs. evil, law vs. chaos). If the battle priest is true neutral, he can not associate with people of extreme
alignments (lawful good, chaotic evil, lawful evil, chaotic good). However, battle priests can be
interrupted in their adventuring for a while because his church will join him if help is needed, the battle
priest always answers these requests positively.
They can cast priest spells like a regular priest, but with one level of delay. A battle priest has his
first spell on second level, behaves like a 2nd level priest at 3rd level,... They do not have power over
undead. They can receive bonus spells for high wisdom just like regular priests. The minimum ability
scores for becoming a battle priest are: strength, constitution and wisdom of 12. If these three total
more than 47 points, the battle priest has a 10% experience bonus. Battle priest can only be human.
They can not dual-class in a warrior or priest sub-class.

 The Brigand
The brigand usually comes from a harsh environment, an environment in which he has to fight
often, not only thieve. He can come from a urban settlement or from the wilderness. One of their most
favoured method of attack is the ambush. A brigand knows how to ambush his enemies in a lot of
different situations. When he planifies an ambush, everybody involved on his side will have +2 to hit to
their first attack, that is, of course, if the brigand surprises the enemy.
The Brigand only leaves his gang rarely, so there are very few adventuring brigands. A player
who wishes to be a brigand must find an appropriate reason for his character to leave his former group
(he may be bored, he may be kicked out, ...). Even if there are few of them adventuring, they are
competent adventurers, due to their skills in both fighting and thievery. They fight better that regular
thieves, due to their training, they fight as clerics.
Being a sub-class of the thief, they make their saving throws as thieves do. They are allowed any
weapon but they tend to prefer one-handed and quick weapons, it is often important for a brigand to
have the first strike. They will not wear armor heavier than the chain mail because it restricts mobility
and it would hinder too much their thieving skills. They can use shields. Brigands can be neutral at
best, they can not be lawful or good.
They are allowed the fighter's constitution and strength bonuses. They can also specialize (and
double specialize) as normal fighters in a weapon, but it will always be a one-handed melee weapon.
They can use all magic items that are designed for fighters. Their thief abilities are: Backstab, Climb
Walls, Find/Remove Traps, Hear Noise, Move Silently, Open Locks and Pick Pockets. The base
percentage of these abilities are:
Climb Walls: 60%
Find/Remove Traps: 5%
Hear Noise: 15%
Move Silently: 10%
Open Locks: 10%
Pick Pockets: 15%
At first level, they have 50 discretionary points to place in whichever ability they want (not more
than 25 in each) and they gain an additional 25 points each level thereafter in which no more than half
of the points may be placed in a single ability.
They initially have 3 weapon and 3 non-weapon proficiencies and they gain one of each every 3
levels. In the second edition, they can choose between the warrior, rogue and general group. The
minimum required ability scores to be a brigand are: strength, dexterity and constitution which must be
12 each. If these three scores together exceed 47, the brigand receives a 10% experience bonus. Any
race that can be a fighter or a thief can be a brigand but non-human level limits should be
approximately 12. Human brigands may not be dual-classed with any rogue or warrior subclass. Non-
human brigands can not be multi-classed with a rogue or warrior subclass.

Combat Mage
Not liking the idea of a militant wizard in the second edition, I decided to make a special wizard
sub-class. The combat mage's training is a mixture of magical and warfare training. He is able to
sustain much more punishment than the average wizard. Although he can not wear armor, he can use
more weapons than the regular wizard and fights better, too. The use of any slashing weapon does not
hinder in any way his spell-casting ability.
The combat mage has special saving throws, which are the best between the mage and the fighter
class. See table next page.

He fights like a psionicist, that is, a bit better than regular wizards. Of course, for all its
advantages, he has to suffer some disadvantages, his training being more taxing than the normal mages,
he has to gain more experience points to rise in levels. The combat mage has access to the same spells
as the regular mage.
At first level, they initially have 3 weapon and 3 non-weapon proficiencies. They gain 1 of each
every four levels after the first (5, 9,13,...). They can use the same magic items as wizards do. They roll
8-sided dice for determining their hit points. Any race that can be both a magic-user and a fighter can
be a combat mage, with the corresponding level limitations as magic-user.
To be a combat mage, one needs at least strength 10 and intelligence 14.
 The Enemy
The enemy is related somewhat to the anti-paladin but his only emphasis is on combat. He is
designed specifically as a non-player character, adapting it for PC use would require some
modifications. Enemies are, just like their name implies, enemies of your adventuring group that
sometimes happen to be on their path. They make very good villains, their level should be adjusted to
the party's level, do NOT make a 19th level enemy fight a 1st level party because he would shred them
to pieces in but a single round.
Their alignment is always chaotic evil, they are repulsed by everything that is good or that
represents the law, especially lawful good characters. They are extremely powerful combatants.
Enemies fight as monsters of the same hit dice. Enemies are a sub-class of fighter, they make their
saving throws as fighters and can use fighter-specific magic items. They also have access to the
fighter's exceptional strength. Enemies can use all weapons and armor. They have a special constitution
bonus, for every point beyond 14, they get +2 hit points per level. They also have a special bonus to
armor class and to initiative.
To be an enemy, strength 15, constitution 14 and dexterity 15 are required. Unlike fighters, which
can only specialize in one weapon, enemies can specialize in as many weapons as they want. They
have 6 weapon proficiencies and 2 non-weapon proficiencies at first level, they gain 1 of each at every
2 levels after the first. Enemies can only be human.

The Enforcer
The enforcer is the middle-age equivalent of today's police officer. In a world where there is so
much thieves, there has to be some people who can deal with that. That people are the enforcers. The
enforcers are have a lot of skills, that is why their level progression is so slow. They have to be
physically fit, combat is no stranger to them and they have to be able to sustain a reasonable amount of
damage. They also have a special ability, which is always in effect, they just have to concentrate a little
and they have a chance of knowing if someone is telling a lie. The Detect lies ability naturally
improves with levels.
Enforcers are also skilled in magic. They study their magic as magic-users do but they do not
have access all of the mage spells. They have a special list of spells, and their purpose is not the same
as in the case of a magic-user. They also have access to a few thief skills, because to capture thieves,
you must be able to play the same game as they do. Enforcers can climb walls, hear noise, hide in
shadows and move silently. The base percentage of these abilities at first level is:
Climb Walls: 60%
Hear Noise: 15%
Hide in Shadows: 5%
Move Silently: 10%
At first level, they have 30 discretionary points that they can place in any ability (but no more
than 15% in each). At every level after the first, they get an additional 15 points, again, they can not
place more than half of that amount in a single ability. Enforcers also have the disguise ability, they can
disguise themselves very efficiently to pretend they are someone else, as the first-edition assassin. They
can be considered a sub-class of fighters. They fight as warriors do and they also make their saving
throws like warriors. They have the warrior's exceptional strength, constitution bonus and
specialization ability.

Enforcers can not cast their spells and they can hardly use their thief skills if they wear armor
heavier than chain mail. Enforcers have to be lawful, but there are no restrictions on how they apply the
law (they can be lawful good, lawful neutral or lawful evil). They have a code of ethics, but it is simple,
they can not knowingly let a crime be committed (of course if they are lawful evil, they can not let a
crime be committed by ... someone else).
They can use the fighter class of magic items. At first level, they have 3 weapon and 3 non-
weapon proficiencies, they gain one of each at every 3 levels after the first. To be an enforcer, a
character must have: strength 12, intelligence 13 and dexterity 12. Enforces only very rarely go
adventuring, if the player wants to be an enforcer, it is up to him to get an adequate background.
Enforcers can only be human and may never dual-class.

Area of Effect: Special
Saving Throw: none
This spell is in all aspects identical to the first-level mage spell read magic. The only difference
between the two is that this spell applies only to enforcer magic reading. That spell does not allow to
read normal magic nor does the read magic spell can be applied to read enforcer magic. The DM might
want to change this for a spell being cast by a high-level spellcaster.
As mentioned before, enforcers do not usually use their magic for the same purpose as mages do.
Many enforcer spells are very useful to capture a suspect alive. It is easy to interrogate a victim under
the effect of a web spell...

The Healer
The Healer is a character that devotes his life to healing others. They are a sub-class of the priest
but with some psionic abilities. The healer knows many ways to heal people, his healing can come
from magic, psionic or natural abilities. Of course, at first level, healers have the healing proficiency as
a bonus. The healer does not only heal, he or she can fight to, when necessary.
The healer rolls 8-sided dice for the determination of its hit points. They fight as clerics and their
patron deity is a god of healing from any pantheon. Healers have access to the psionic discipline of
psychometabolism and they can cast spells as clerics, but they only have access to the sphere of
healing. They receive bonus spells for high wisdom just like normal priests. Healers have to be of good
alignment because nobody evil or even neutral would devote his life to the healing of others.
Healers are not allowed to use heavy armor, in fact, they will not wear anything heavier than the
chain mail. However, they can fight with any weapon. They can use any magical item that priests or
psionicists can use. Initially, they have two weapon proficiencies and two non-weapon proficiencies.
They gain one of each every three levels after. The level progression of healers is quite fast, it is similar
to clerics.
Healers do not have any special disadvantages. They usually come from big settlements because
of the requirement of their training. They have to be from a place that there is both a temple of a god of
healing and a psionics college. But if the player manages to find any other appropriate story (DM's
choice), the healer PC can be from virtually anywhere. To be a healer requires a wisdom of 12. Only
humans can be healers, on very rare occasions, healers may dual-class but they never do in a priest or
psionicist subclass.

The Martial Artist

I wanted, just to see what it would look like, to make a class that its sole ability is martial arts as
the oriental adventures guide. A martial artist is just that, a plain Bruce Lee wannabee, and that is just
how they might act like at higher levels. To be a martial artist requires dexterity 15, wisdom 12 and
constitution 12. These are the three prime requisites for the martial artist. If these 3 together total more
than 47, the martial artist gains a 10% bonus in experience points.
The martial artist is a class of the warrior group, their very existence is devoted to fighting. They
gain special abilities when they go up in levels, these are special maneuvers that can be found in the
Oriental Adventures book or in an old DRAGON magazine (I had it and lost it, I do not remember
which one). The base AC of a martial artist is 4, due to his training. A martial artist can not wear armor
nor use shields and they only have access to the martial arts weapons class. They fight and make their
saving throws as warriors. They initially have 3 weapon and 3 non-weapon proficiencies and they gain
1 of each at every 3 levels after the first (4, 7, 10, ...).
At first level, there are several abilities that a martial artist has. He can spend an attack luring his
opponent into a trap and this gives him a +2 to hit on his next attack. Martial artists are also able to
make leaps and when they leap, they can make a 180-degree turn in mid-air. They all get only half-
damage from falls. A martial artist can, of course, meditate, 1 hour of meditation is as good as 2 hours
of sleep. Martial artists are masters of balance, they can walk on a tight rope like some thieves. If a
martial artist concentrates him(her)self, (s)he is able to summon his inner strength potential, thus giving
18/00 strength for 5 rounds. After that, though, they have to rest for 1 full turn or fight at -4 to hit until
they rest. Martial artists are also considered to be fully ambidextrous, they can use both hands at the
same efficiency. They get +1 bonus to initiative because of their innate quickness. If they spend an
attack studying the opponent, they can notice weaknesses in their fighting, thus giving them, for the
rest of the combat and for that opponent only, a +1 to hit. They can also deflect non-magical missiles
thrown at them if they make a successful saving throw versus paralysis. Martial artists can also walk on
a tightened rope with a 25% chance, increasing by 5% at every level after the first.
 The life of a martial artist imposes several restrictions. They have to be lawful neutral, the only
thing that matters to them is order and discipline, they will never associate with chaotic characters.
They always have to donate 10% of their belongings to the dojo where they trained, to encourage the
formation of more martial artists. They can not own more than 10 magical items and they can only use
those that are usable by any class. Martial artists can be from any race that can meet the ability
requirements and that does not have a penalty to dexterity.

If a martial artist has a 10' space to run, he can increase his jumping height and length by 4'. The
damage they do and the number of attacks is for bare-handed combat only. Martial arts damage is
halved for creatures of more than twice the martial artist's height, with a natural armor class below 0 or
with opponents that are made out of stone, iron, ... (like golems).
MARTIAL ARTIST SPECIAL ABILITIES EXPLANATION:
A martial artist gains special abilities when going up in levels, these are:
1= The martial artist can fight efficiently even with his back lying on the ground.
2= If the martial artist walks at half his normal speed, he can pass without trace as the spell.
3= If the martial artist concentrates for 1 round, he can, for 4 rounds make twice more attacks,
move twice faster, ... . But after that, he must rest for a full turn or fight at -4 to hit until he rests.
4= The martial artist is immune to the slow spells.
5= The martial artist learns a technique of quick defensive moves that lowers his armor class by
1. The bonus is increased to +2 at 11th level.
6= The martial artist learns how to crush stone (ј"/lvl.) and wood (Ѕ"/lvl.). If the attack is missed,
the martial artist can not use that limb for 24 h. This maneuver can also be used against opponents, the
damage done is normal, but with a bonus of +1hp/lvl.
7= If the martial artist is lying on the ground, he can spend only one attack and get himself up in
a standing position.
8= The martial artist is aware of every non-invisible opponent around him, his is therefore
immune to backstabs.
9= The martial artist now ages only 9 months for every year that passes.
10= The martial artist can levitate, at 5' per round. When he is done, he has to rest for 2 rounds.
11= The martial artist now only suffers a -1 penalty for fighting in the dark, or with his eyes
closed.
 12= The martial artist gets a +2 to saving throws versus charms, illusions and paralysis.
13= The martial artist learns how to incapacitate an opponent's limb. Before making that special
maneuver, the player has to tell the DM. It does double damage if the hit is successful and the limb that
was hit (or nearly destroyed for a high-level martial artist!) cannot be used for 24 hours.

The Mystic
The mystic resembles, on certain points to the first-edition monk. A mystic devotes a lot of time
to meditation. They possess great self-discipline. They gain special abilities from their meditation and
their particular physical training. The Mystic is a stand-alone class, not a subclass of any other one,
because it has various abilities.
Many mystics live as solitaires or in a monastery, they think it as one of the best ways to reach
spiritual enlightment. Sometimes, by changing their lifestyles a bit, such as going adventuring, they can
gain additional knowledge that they can not find anywhere else. That is the main reason why mystics
could be adventuring. Due to their varied abilities, Mystics can prove to be very useful in an
adventuring party. They can cast both priest and mage spells (in limited number, of course). They gain
their spells through meditation, from their own inner-self power. The way they can obtain mage spells
through meditation is not yet clearly known.
However, by doing all that meditation, Mystics do not have the time for strenuous physical
training, that is why they fight as thieves. However, their meditation gives them a way to avoid
damage, the natural AC of a mystic goes down when they gain levels. They use six-sided dice to
determine hit points. At first level, they roll an additional hit die. They make their saving throws as
clerics. Mystics can only be lawful neutral because of their rigid mental discipline. Mystics are not
concerned by good or evil.
Mystics have restrictions, they can not own more than 10 magical items and they can not
associate with chaotic-aligned people, they do not tolerate people who are not disciplined. They can
never wear armor, they are not allowed to use a shield and the only weapons they can use are those
available to the magic-user class. They move at 15" and they have the legend lore ability of a bard of
the same level. They initially have 2 weapon proficiencies and 4 non-weapon proficiencies, they gain
one of each at every 4 levels.
The minimum ability scores to become a mystic are: wisdom 16 and intelligence 14. Only
humans may become mystics. Mystics may never dual-class. They do not have power over undead nor
do they receive bonus spells for high wisdom. They can only use magical items that can be used by all
the classes.

The Sneak
The sneak is a special kind of warrior, formed by highly specialized schools that might be found
at various places in the world. They focus a lot of their energy on improving their own body instead of
relying more on armor. Some say that their philosophy is based partly on the special skills that are
found in oriental lands, like Kara-Tur, on the Toril planet.

Sneaks, by focusing a lot of energy on their body, come to improve it. Their base AC is 8 instead
of 10. A sneak would never willingly wear armor, thinking that his own body can be used as the most
powerful armor there is.
Their training also gives them special abilities that are gained later in their career, at higher
levels. Sneaks have a special defensive adjustment to AC. For every point of dexterity exceeding 14,
their get an AC bonus of 2. A sneak with dexterity 16 would get -4 AC bonus.
A sneak only uses blunt weapons but, as he or she increases in levels, they gain special
maneuvers with these weapons. They can specialize (includes double specialization), either in unarmed
combat or with a blunt weapon of choice. They also move at 15". To be a sneak requires a dexterity of
15. At first level, they roll a percentile dice and they add the result to their dexterity, just like the first-
edition cavalier. Each level thereafter, they add another 2d10% until dexterity reaches 19. They can
also move silently as thieves of the same level.
Being a subclass of warriors, they fight and make their saving throws as warriors. They can also
use all magic items available for warriors. At first level, the sneak must choose a blunt weapon of
choice, it will be in that weapon that he will specialize (if he is not at first level) and he receives his
initiative bonus only when using that particular weapon of choice. Sneaks can be human, elven or half-
elven. They can be of any lawful alignment.
SPECIAL ABILITIES EXPLANATION:
1= At second level, the sneak learns the backstab ability (as thief). He can backstab with any
weapon he knows how to use. The backstab damage improves as thieves, with a 1 level delay.
2= At third level, the sneak learns the art of meditation, he can now meditate instead of sleeping.
Time of " waking up " is of course less than regular sleep. 1 hour of meditation is equivalent to 2 hours
of sleep, so the sneak only has to meditate 4 hours a night.
3= At fourth level, sneaks begin to get their special initiative bonus, their training gives them a
+1 initiative bonus. This bonus is increased at +2 at 9th level.
4= At fifth level, the sneak is immune to backstabs, he is automatically aware of any attack on
himself from a non-invisible opponent.
5= At sixth level, the sneak learns how to focus some energy into his own weapon. If he wants to,
he declares it to the DM and then he gets double damage (no bonuses included, only physical damage
dice) for that attack. Sneaks can use that power an unlimited times per day. However, if they miss their
attack, they also lose their next attack.
6= At seventh level, the sneak needs to rest only every two nights (every three nights, if
constitution is 18 or more). He gets no penalties on the second (or third) day.
7= At eighth level, sneaks learn how to deflect blows more effectively, lowering his effective
armor class by 2.
8= At ninth level, sneaks learn to focus even more energy into their weapon, if he uses that
maneuver, the player has to tell the DM before. Damage is normal but, if the opponent misses his
saving throw versus paralyzation, he is stunned for 1d4 rounds. If the attack misses, the sneak misses
his next attack.
9= At tenth level, the sneak learns how to become invisible (as the spell), twice per day.
10= At eleventh level, sneaks learn how to focus a tremendous amount of energy in their weapon,
it does triple damage but, if the opponent misses his saving throw versus paralyzation, he is knocked
out for 3-6 rounds. However, the use of this maneuver requires a great deal of concentration from the
sneak. When this special attack is used, no other attacks can be made in that round. If the sneak misses
the opponent when doing that attack, he loses his next two attacks.
11= At twelfth level, the sneak is totally ambidextrous, having no penalties for using a weapon in
his secondary hand.
12= At thirteenth level, sneaks learn how to focus energy on themselves, they can speed up for 4
rounds. They then move at twice their movement rate, they have twice more attacks, ... . However, after
the use of that power, sneaks must rest for a full turn or suffer -4 to hit due to exhaustion.
13= At fourteenth level, the sneak knows another way on how to concentrate to focus energy on
him(her)self, therefore raising strength to 18/00 for 5 rounds. After that, the sneak must rest for a full
turn or suffer -4 to hit due to exhaustion.
14= At fifteenth level, the sneak can turn invisible (as improved invisibility spell) twice per day.
There is no reason why two powers could not be used simultaneously. But in the case of side-
effects, the recovery times are added together. Special abilities may not seem related to each other but
picture this: a sneak with improved invisibility moves silently past you and decides to concentrate to
focus energy (as the sixth-level power) into his two (magical ?) weapons (being ambidextrous) in
which he is double-specialized, and onto himself (raising his strength to 18/00) and then backstabbing
you. Hope he does not roll a 20 if you are playing with critical hits...
 The Thug
Thugs are the perfect assassins, that is their purpose. They are formed by some specific schools to
become contract killers. They are always evil. Thugs have lots of different abilities to achieve their
goals. They are accomplished psionicists and they have some useful thieving abilities. Thugs can also
use the assassination table like 1st edition assassins. They also have their disguise ability.
They can go adventuring for many reasons, they have abilities that can be very useful to an
adventuring party. Thugs begin to get psionic power upon reaching 2nd level. They then get the same
amount of PSPs as regular psionicists do and they improve their abilities when increasing levels just as
psionicists do, in every aspects. However, they do not tend to choose "peaceful" psionic powers. For a
thug, psionics is only one of many ways to kill other people, that is how they see it.
Thugs can only be human and they may not dual-class with a psionicist or rogue subclass.
Thugs never wear armor heavier than studded leather and they may only use weapons with a
speed factor of 5 or less, sometimes killing is not enough, it has to be quick killing. Thugs get a +1
bonus to initiative. At first level, they get 2 weapon and 3 non-weapon proficiencies, thugs gain one of
each every four levels after the first (5,9,13, ...). They also have special saving throws, which is the best
between the psionicist and thief tables.

Thugs have a special ethos to which they must adhere to. Whatever their alignment is, when they
accept a contract (killing business), they have to respect it. Thugs are almost always organized in guilds
and if they do not respect a contract, other guild members may take care of him/her ... The ability
requirements to be a thug are stringent: dexterity and wisdom of 15, constitution 11 and intelligence 12.
They can not have a 10% experience bonus for high ability scores. Thugs can only use magical items
that can be used by all classes, no class-specific magic items.
The thief abilities that they can use are backstab, climb walls, hear noise, hide in shadows, move
silently and open locks. The base value of these abilities at first level is:

Climb Walls: 60%

Hear Noise: 15%
Hide in Shadows: 5%
Move Silently: 10%
Open Locks: 10%
They get an additional 40 discretionary points at first level in which they can place no more than
20 points in a single ability. Every level afterwards, they gain an additional 20 points in which no more
than half (10) may be placed in a single ability.

Section 2: New races

In DRAGON issue #141, there was an interesting article about how could our good old
humanoids could become fighters, thieves, etc. However, the article dealt only about Kobolds, Xvarts
(Fiend Folio), Goblins and Orcs. In this article, I present the same kind of data but for Bugbears,
Hobgoblins, Gnolls, Ogres and Trolls. I present the data in first-edition format, but that can easily be
converted into second-edition material. In this same issue, three more humanoids were presented, the
Jor, the Caivehs and the Cynamolgus. The data given was for their use as monsters but I find these very
adaptable for PC and NPC use. This article also covers Jor, Caivehs and Cynamolgus. All humanoids
on the list except the caivehs have to roll on the physical abnormalities table presented in page 105.
Some of these monsters were already introduced in the Humanoid's Handbook, but I prefer my version
of these "monsters as PCs", I wrote the stuff about bugbears, gnolls, ... even before the Humanoid's
Handbook came into existence. I also included my player adaptation of the verbeeg giant, inspired by
the complete.net.handbook.

Bugbears
 Bugbears are a race of humanoids that are about 7 feet tall with a stout build. Of course, they
usually are ugly, unintelligent and barbaric, but special PCs or NPCs may behave differently. Most of
the bugbears that have a class were "adopted" by strangers for any reason. That is why they are not
forced to be of evil alignment. Bugbears receive an additional hit die at first level, this being due to the
fact that they are basically a larger-that-man-size race. This hit point supplement is always conserved
when they gain levels. If the bugbear is lawful or good, it has not received any influence from his
bugbear parents and therefore it does not automatically speak the languages usually spoken by
bugbears.
Bugbears usually speak goblin, hobgoblin, their alignment language and of course their own
language. The lifespan of a bugbear is the same as humans. As of racial preferences, they usually prefer
bugbears, they are neutral towards goblins, hobgoblins and ogres, they are antipathic to kobolbs, orcs
and trolls and they hate everybody else. Bugbear are allowed to possibly have a strength of 19 because
they usually are of Large size. Due to their size, they can use larger-that-man-sized weapons but they
also suffer damage as Large creatures. A creature is considered as large if it is more that 7' high or if it
weighs more that 400 pounds (of normal body density).
Bugbears have a spirit and not a soul, so they can not be raised by normal means.

A bugbear is allowed to multi-class just like any other non-human character. Any combination is
possible.

Hobgoblin
Hobgoblins are a race of humanoids that are about 6 and a half feet tall. Of course, they too are
usually ugly, unintelligent and barbaric, but special PCs or NPCs may behave differently. Most of the
hobgoblins that have a class were "adopted" by strangers for any reason. That is why they are not
forced to be of evil alignment. If the hobgoblin is good, it has not received any influence from his
hobgoblin parents and therefore it does not automatically speak the languages usually spoken by
hobgoblins.
Hobgoblins usually speak goblin, orc, their alignment language and of course their own language.
In addition, they can communicate with gorillas. The lifespan of a hobgoblin shorter than a that of a
human. They are young adults from 11 to 14, adults from 15 to 30, middle aged from 31 to 40, old
from 41 to 55 and venerable beyond 56. As of racial preferences, they usually prefer hobgoblins, they
are neutral towards goblins, bugbears, orcs and ogres, they are antipathic to kobolds, half-ogres, gnolls
and trolls and they hate everybody else. Depending on its size, a hobgoblin can be considered as a
larger-that-man-sized creature. If that is the case, see under bugbear for more information.
Hobgoblins have a spirit and not a soul, so they can not be raised by normal means.

Hobgoblins can be multi-classed as any other non-human character. Any combination is possible.
Gnolls
Gnolls are a race of humanoids that are about 7 feet tall. They are tall and thin humanoids with
heads like hyenas. Of course, they usually are ugly, unintelligent and barbaric, but special PCs or
NPCs may behave differently. Most of the gnolls that have a class were "adopted" by strangers for any
reason. That is why they are not forced to be of evil alignment. If the gnoll is lawful or good, it has not
received any influence from his ogre parents and therefore it does not automatically speak the
languages usually spoken by ogres.
Gnolls usually speak troll, hobgoblin or orc, their alignment language and of course their own
language. The lifespan of an ogre is short. They are young adults from 7 to 9, adults from 10 to 19,
middle aged from 20 to 28, old from 29 to 42 and venerable at 43. As of racial preferences, they
usually prefer gnolls, they are tolerant towards bugbears, orcs, hobgoblins, ogres and trolls, they are
neutral towards goblins and kobolds and they hate everybody else. Gnolls over 7' tall can use larger-
that-man-sized weapons but they also suffer damage as Large creatures.
Gnolls have a spirit, not a soul so they can not be raised by normal means.

Gnolls can multi-class like any other non-human characters, any combination is allowed.

Ogres
Ogres are a race of humanoids that are about 9 feet tall. Of course, they usually are ugly,
unintelligent and barbaric, but special PCs or NPCs may behave differently. Most of the ogres that have
a class were "adopted" by strangers for any reason. That is why they are not forced to be of evil
alignment. Ogres receive two additional hit dice at first level, this being due to the fact that they are
basically a larger-that-man-size race. This hit point supplement is always conserved when they gain
levels. If the ogre is lawful or good, it has not received any influence from his ogre parents and
therefore it does not automatically speak the languages usually spoken by ogres.
Ogres usually speak orc, troll, stone giant, their alignment language and of course their own
language. The lifespan of an ogre is slightly longer than that of a human. They are young adults from
14 to 20, adults from 21 to 45, middle aged from 46 to 90, old from 90 to 125 and venerable at 126. As
of racial preferences, they usually prefer ogres, they are "beneficent" towards half-ogres, they are
neutral towards goblins, hobgoblins and bugbears, they are antipathic to kobolbs, gnolls and orcs and
they hate everybody else. Ogres are allowed to possibly have a strength of 20 because they are
significantly larger than humans. Due to their size, they can use larger-that-man-sized weapons but they
also suffer damage as Large creatures.
Ogres have a spirit and not a soul, so they can not be raised by normal means.

Trolls have a spirit and not a soul, so they can not be raised by normal means. They also
regenerate hit points at the rate of 3 hp / round, unless the wound is caused by fire or acid.

 Jors
The jors are a sub-race of orcs that live mostly in the swamps. There is a great hatred between
them and the lizard-men, which they generally attack on sight. They make very good assassins, and
those who are assassins know how to make a special kind of poison which has +2 to save and causes
sleep for 2d6 rounds if the save is missed. In the swamps, they are surprised only on a 1 on 1d8 and
they surprise 50% percent of the time. They have the same penalties as orcs do in the sunlight.
Jors speak Orc, Jor, Lizard Man, Ogre, Common and their alignment language. They can not
learn more languages. As is the case for humanoids, if the jor is not evil, it did not receive influence
from its jor parents and does not speak the tongues that jors usually speak. As of racial preferences,
they prefer jors, they are benevolent towards orcs and they hate everybody else, especially lizard men.
The lifespan of a jor is quite short, they are young adults from 8 to 10, adults from 11 to 20, middle
aged from 22 to 30, old from 31 to 40 and venerable after 41.

Caivehs
Caiveh are a quite tall species, they average 7' tall for the males. They are human in appearance
except for their face, which looks like a lion. Their body is covered with a short fur of about Ѕ inch
thick. At level four (in any class) they can bo berserk, when the DM judges appropriate. In this state,
they are considered having intelligence and wisdom of 1 but their strength is increased to 18/00. If it is
already 18/00, then the strength is increased to 19 and if it is already 19, it becomes 20. The caiveh then
fights with its claws, doing 2-5 points of damage each (plus strength bonus).
Due to their "feline" style, they make excellent thieves, even if they are not thieves, they can
move silently, hide in shadows, hear noise and climb walls as a first level thief (see DM's book for %).
Caiveh speak their own language, common and their alignment tongue. They can learn two more. Their
lifespan is exactly the same as humans. As of racial preferences, they prefer caivehs, they are
beneficent towards humans and they are neutral towards anybody else.

Cynamolgus
The cynamolgus are a race of humanoids that look very much like humans except for their head,
which is like a dog's. This race is not renowned for its intelligence, the average intelligence is about 6
or 7. They are somewhat tall, 75 inches for males in average. They make ferocious warriors, they are
90% resistant to fear. They speak their own language, the common tongue and their alignment
language, cynamolgus can only learn one more language.
As of racial preferences, they prefer cynamolgus (or hate them if rivals) and their feelings
towards other races range from neutrality to hatred. The lifespan of a cynamolgus is really short, they
are young adults from 6 to 8, adults from 9 to 17, middle aged from 18 to 25, old from 26 to 35 and
venerable beyond 36.

Verbeeg Giants
As in Monster Manual II, the verbeeg giant is a race of giant humans. They tend to be of chaotic
neutral alignment. They speak Hill giant, Ogre and their own language. Verbeegs fight very well with
spears, they gain a +2 to hit with it, whether used in melee or thrown. Due to their toughness and size,
they gain two additional hit dice when beginning their adventuring career at first level. As it is for other
races, a verbeeg raised by human parent does not receive the racial abilities of verbeegs but it does not
have to be chaotic neutral. Their lifespan is just the same as humans. Despite their size, which should
slow them down, verbeeg giants are able to move quickly, their base movement rate is 18".

Verbeegs can be multi-classed like any other non-human characters.

Section 2.1: Half-Giants

Some of these creatures are detailed in the Complete.net.handbook, I liked them a lot and decided
to add some more details to each one of them. I also created new ones, like the half-voadkyn and the
half-firbolg. These races should be very rare in a campaign world unless there is some specific cause
(magic could be involved, like in the creation of Darksun Half-Giants). The natural occurrence of these
races should not be commonplace, for obvious reasons.
I tried to be logical when computing the maximum strength for a race. I consider that every race
above human height (an thus naturally stronger in most cases) can have 18/00 strength. A race with a
base height of 7 feet tall can have strength 19 and a race with a base height of 9 feet tall can have a
strength of 20. There are of course some exceptions, smaller races can be stronger and larger races can
be weaker.
Half-giants can use any armor or any weapon that their class allows but, obviously, it is very
expensive. If they wear armor that is worse than their natural armor class, there is no effect. Half-giants
may attack with larger-than-man-sized weapons, the category they can use depends on their height,
refer to the giant-sized weapons p.103. Half-giants receive damage as large creatures if they are over 7
feet tall or over 400 pounds (which, usually, is the case). Generally, half-giants do not throw boulders
because they do not have the required physical mass and the strength to do so. However, if the half-
giant is as tall, as heavy and as strong as a true giant of its kind (which is very rare), he can learn
boulder-throwing as a weapon proficiency. It then does damage as a full giant of his type, he then also
has the same chance of catching boulders.
All half-giants have a movement rate of 12" unless otherwise indicated. They might be big but
they are not very fast. As it is for other races, a half giant raised by a human family can be of any
alignment. However, it does not possess the abilities of its giantkind counterpart unless they are innate.
A half-giant raised by a human family also does not speak languages usually spoken by giants of its
kind. Also, a half-giant priest raised by giants will always be of the race's god but that does not need to
be the case for a half-giant raised by humans. All half-giants can multi-class, any combination is
possible. Half-voadkyn can multi-class as elves, they can have 3 different classes.

Half-Giant, Hill
A half-giant of hill origin is just that, a crossbreed of human and hill giant. Those half-giants are
usually about 8 feet in height and weigh approximately 500 pounds. Due to their size, they receive 2
additional hit dice at first level. If a hill giant has to roll for exceptional strength, he has a 30% bonus
on his roll. Due to their tough skin, their base AC is 8. They get a +2 to hit with clubs.

They are about 7Ѕ feet tall and weigh approximately 350 pounds. They look a lot like giant-sized half-
elves. They have no body hair, like their giant-kind counterparts. However, they do not retain all of
their voadkyn giant's abilities. They can never polymorph like true voadkyn giants. They have a 30%
resistance to sleep and charm spells and they have infravision up to 60 feet. Voadkyn half-giants
receive a 20% bonus to exceptional strength when they roll for it. Their natural armor class is 10.
Unlike other half-giants, their movement rate is 15", because they are not as slow as other half-giants.

Half-Verbeegs generally stand about 7Ѕ feet tall and weigh between 300 and 350 pounds. They have a
+1 to hit with spears if they have a chance to be taught the particular fighting style of verbeegs with

Section 3: Magical items

MAGICAL THIEVES'S TOOLS (T)
These were first created long ago by Aerthul, a human magic-user who later dual-classed as a
thief. Nowadays, there are many samples in circulation. The magical thieve's tools give bonus to all
thief abilities when used. This looks like a regular set of thieves's tools. There are four versions of
those, they can give a 5%, 10%, 15% or even 20% bonus on thief skills. Use the table below to
determine what type is found in a treasure hoard:
d10 type G.P. value XP value
1-4 +5% 1000 g.p. 100 XP
5-7 +10% 2000 g.p. 200 XP
8-9 +15% 4000 g.p. 400 XP
10 +20% 10000 g.p. 1000 XP

MAGICAL HOLY SYMBOL (C)

This item was first created by the powerful Cesar, a cleric of Zeus. This holy symbol gives a
better chance of turning undead. It uses its magic to improve the dice roll of the cleric that tries to turn
undead. The first magical holy symbol created by Cesar was the most powerful version but there are 4
different versions of it. Use the table below to determine what type is found in a treasure hoard:
d10 type G.P. value XP value
1-4 +1 750 g.p. 100 XP
5-7 +2 1500 g.p. 200 XP
8-9 +3 3000 g.p. 400 XP
10 +4 7000 g.p. 1000 XP
The symbol adds its rating (+1 to +4) to the die roll made when attempting to turn undead.

HEADBAND OF LEARNING (M)

This is magical item was first developed by Stromgol, a mage that was frustrated because he
sometimes could not learn spells that were very important. This magical item, when worn, creates
energy waves that help the brain to function more efficiently. However, its only use is for spell
learning. It adds its rating to the magic-user's intelligence when trying to learn spells. There are five
different versions of headbands of learning, use the following table to determine what type is found in a
treasure hoard.
d20 type G.P. value XP value
1-8 +1 500 g.p. 100 XP
9-14 +2 1000 g.p. 200 XP
15-17 +3 2000 g.p. 400 XP
18-19 +4 5000 g.p. 600 XP
20 +5 10000 g.p. 1000 XP
Intelligence gained for the purpose of spell learning by a headband of learning can go above the
racial maximum, to a maximum of 25.

GIRDLE OF TITAN STRENGTH

This magical item looks exactly like a girdle of giant strength but it confers a strength of 25 to his
wearer, which makes it a very prized item for lots of adventurers. It is in all other game aspects similar
to a girdle of giant strength
XP value: 1000
GP value: 12500

RING OF ADDITIONAL PRAYERS (C)

This ring confers to the priest wearing it about the same powers that a ring of wizardry confers to
a magic-user. There are several types of rings of additional prayers, roll a percentile dice to determine
the type:
dice roll effects
01-50 doubles the number of first-level spells
51-75 doubles the number of second-level spells
76-82 doubles the number of third-level spells
83-88 doubles the number of first- and second-level spells
89-92 doubles the number of fourth-level spells

Level 1:
Cesar's Guard Watch (Alteration)
Sphere: Guardian
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 night
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Creature Touched
Saving Throw: None
When a priest casts this spell on another creature (or on himself), it removes the need for sleep
for 1 full night. The creature affected will then be able to be awake all through the night, with no
chance of falling asleep. This spell is very useful for an adventuring party, someone being able to
watch over for a whole night while everyone else sleeps is handy. However, when the spell is cast upon
spellcasters, it prevents them from learning spells on the second day, they still need to sleep to recover
spells. Cesar's Guard Watch can not be cast more than five nights in a row on a creature. After five
days of being awake, a creature needs (and deserves) rest. If the spell is cast anyway, it will simply not
work. The material component of the spell is the priest's holy symbol.

Cesar's Item Enlarger (Alteration) reversible

Sphere: All
Range: 40 yards
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 5 rounds / level
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 object
Saving Throw: None
This spell is similar to the first-level magic-user spell enlarge, except that it can only be used on
objects, no living creature can be affected by the spell. As with the magic-user spell, the growth of an
object is of 10% per level of the caster. Although less powerful than the magic-user spell, this spell can
have many practical uses for a creative spellcaster. All dimensions of the object are increased as the
magic-user spell, including weight. The reverse of the spell, Cesar's Item Reducer functions as the
reverse of the magic-user spell. The material component for both versions of the spell is the priest's
holy symbol.

Cesar's Minor Fighting Prowess (Alteration)

Sphere: Combat
Range: 10 yards
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 1 Creature
Saving Throw: None
By casting that spell, a priest improves a creature's fighting ability. In fact, the creature will fight
as a fighter of the same level (or number of hit dice) for the duration of the spell. If the creature has
more than 6 levels or hit dice, it will get multiple attacks per round. The material component of the
spell is a miniature metal sword, which is not consumed by the spell. The priest needs to point a finger
at the creature to be affected.

Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 8 hours or until woken up
Casting Time: 1 round

This spell allows the priest to make a willing creature fall asleep in a single round. The spell will
not work if used against an unwilling subject. The material component of the spell is the priest's holy
symbol. The priest can cast this spell on himself, but obviously, this will be the last spell that he casts
in that day !

Cesar's Quick Wakening (Alteration)

 Sphere: Necromantic
Range: Touch
Components: V,S
Duration: Instantaneous
Casting Time: 2
Area of Effect: 1 Creature
Saving Throw: None

able to fight in just 3 segments without any maluses. The spell will automatically wake up any sleeping

Casting Time: 5
Saving Throw: None

difference, this spell will heal anything that exists (humans, elementals, archons, ...). The spell will
even heal non-corporeal creatures, the casting priest only has to put his hand "through" the creature to
heal it. In other gaming aspects, the spell is identical to the normal cure light wounds. Undead can be
healed by the reverse of that spell. Casting the normal spell on an undead will actually harm it.

Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 turn/level

very efficiently. With only a single drop of poison, the recipient of the spell will be able to tell if it is
poison. Unless specified otherwise, the quantity of poison necessary to be detected is not enough to
cause damage to the imbiber. The material component of the spell is the priest's holy symbol.

Components: V,S,M
Duration: 2 rounds

Sphere: All
Range: Touch
Components: V,S
Duration: 1 hour / level
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1 object
Saving Throw: None
When a priest casts that spell on an item, he makes that object not detectable by a detect magic
spell. The spell temporarily negates the magical aura of an object. An object continues to function
normally under the effect of the spell, a sword +4 will still be a sword +4. Only higher-level spells like
true seeing and the like will allow the caster to detect the true nature of the object.
The reverse of that spell, Cesar's Magical Aura will give an object a magical aura of some sort
(caster's choice). The object will not be magical in any other way than detection, the affected item just
shows as magic when detect magic is cast upon it. As it is for the normal form of the spell, true seeing
and other higher-level spells will allow the caster to detect the true nature of the object.

Duration: 1 round / level
Casting Time: 4

able to attack the recipient of the spell as in the case of a protection versus evil spell. However, the
spell is broken if the affected creature attacks the elemental. The spell can only be used for one
elemental type at a time. The material component of the spell depends on the type of elemental the

it a small rock, a bit of water, ...
 Cesar's Release of Burden (Alteration)
Sphere: All
Range: Touch

Duration: 1d6 hours + 1 hour / level
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Creature Touched
Saving Throw: None

of the spell will feel as if it is only lightly encumbered. The spell has no effect on the maximum
carrying capacity. If the spell is cast on a creature that is not encumbered or slightly encumbered, it has
no effect. If a creature under the influence of the spell is at maximal carrying capacity and picks up
something else, the spell is broken and the creature is then unable to move.
The spell can of course be cast on beasts of burden or on mounts. Any living creature can be
influenced by that spell. The material component of the spell is the priest's holy symbol.

Cesar's Restful Sleep (Alteration)

Sphere: Necromantic

Duration: 1 night
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Creature Touched
Saving Throw: None
When this spell is cast on a creature, the affected subject will only need to sleep ѕ of the normal
regular time that they usually have to sleep. A regular night, under the effect of a Cesar's Restful Sleep
spell will last for 6 hours. This affects spellcasters as well. A spellcaster that normally have to sleep for
10 hours to be able to regain his spells will now only have to sleep 7.5 hours. The material component
of this spell is a small feather.

Cesar's Weapon Magifier (Enchantment/Charm)

Sphere: Combat
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1round / level
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: 1 weapon
Saving Throw: None
This spell will temporarily enchant a normal weapon so that it becomes magical. The effect of the
spell depends on the caster's level as follows:
level magical bonus
3-6 +1
7-10 +2
11-14 +3
15-18 +4
19 and up +5
The affected weapon need not be the caster's own weapon. Any weapon can be affected by that
spell. The spell can also be cast on a magical weapon but the pluses do not add together, take
whichever is higher. Example: Cesar, a 22nd level priest casts this spell on his +4 mace. For 22 rounds,
his mace will be treated as a +5 weapon. If however a 3rd level priest casts the spell on Cesar's mace,
there will be no effect because the magical bonus offered by the spell (+1) is lower than the magical
bonus of the weapon (+4). The material component of the spell is the weapon to be affected.

Level 3:
Cesar's Anvil (Conjuration)
Sphere: Creation
Range: 20 yards
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 Turn
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 1 Creature
Saving Throw: Special (see below)
Cesar's Anvil is a rather funny spell, it simply conjures a regular anvil about 20 feet about the
victim's head which will, if it falls on the victim's head, cause 3-18 points of blunt damage. The saving
throw is special for that spell, in order to avoid the anvil's fall, the victim must roll his dexterity or less
on a 20-sided die (a 20 is always a miss). The anvil's existence lasts for 1 turn, no matter if the target is
hit or not. The anvil is quite heavy and spellcasters should be aware that some monsters (as giants) may
use it as a boulder. There is no way that the anvil may exist for longer than 1 turn. The material
component of the spell is a miniature version of an anvil and the somatic component is a mimic of a
heavy object falling.

Cesar's Armor Enhancement (Alteration)

Sphere: Combat
Range: 20 yards
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 turn/level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: 1 armor

level: bonus:
5-9 -1
10-13 -2
11-14 -3
15-18 -4
19-22 -5
23 and + -6
For the spell to have effect, it must be cast on a creature that is wearing armor or it will have no
effect. The spell actually makes the armor of the recipient more efficient, a magic-user does not wear
armor therefore he does not have any armor to be strengthened (skin does not count!). The material
component of the spell is a small silver shield (worth 10 g.p.) that vanishes when the spell is cast.

dexterity of 10. The dexterity penalty returns at the rate of 1 point per round when the spell duration
expires. The dexterity of the recipient of the spell may not go under 3 with the spell. A creature under

. The material component of the spell is the priest's holy symbol.

caster has to specify what type of creature he wants to locate. The specification can not be more precise
than "a dragon" or "orcs". If the caster tries to locate a "huge ancient old nasty red dragon", the spell
does not work and is wasted. The caster has to have already seen the type of creature once in his life.
The material components of the spell are the priest's holy symbol and a piece of whatever type of
creature that he wants to know the location of. The component can be a hair from a giant to detect
giants, ... . The spell only reveals the general direction and distance of creatures. The number of
creatures is revealed within 50% of its exact value.

Cesar's Displacement (Alteration)

Sphere: Protection
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 2 turns + 1 round / level
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: Creature Touched
Saving Throw: None
The recipient of this spell receives exactly the same bonuses as a cloak of displacement for the
duration of the spell. The recipient appears to be 2 meters away from his actual position (direction is up
to the player as long as it is not impossible). The first attack on the recipient of the spell is
automatically a miss, and for subsequent attacks, the recipient of the spell gains a -2 bonus to his armor
class. The spell will have no effect if cast on a creature already wearing a cloak of displacement. The
material component of the spell is a bit of skin from a displacer beast, blink dog or any other creature
that has the displacement ability.

Sphere: Divination
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 round / level
 Casting Time: 3

recipient a 90% of hearing noises. His acute hearing also allows him to be surprised only on a 1 on a
10-sided die, unless the opponents are magically silenced, in which case, the surprise chance is normal.
This spell makes the recipient's ears go red, this being a mystery that even Cesar himself could not
figure out. The ways of the gods are bizarre sometimes. The material component of the spell is the
priest's holy symbol.

Cesar's Enhanced Sight (Alteration)

Sphere: Divination
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 round / level
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: Creature Touched

spell. The visual acuity is 50 times better, from both short and long range objects. Thus, the recipient of

things 50 times smaller, like the flaws in an apparently perfect jewel. The material component of the
spell is a pair of glasses, the glasses are not consumed by the spell.

Sphere: Combat
Range: 10 yards
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 round / level
Casting Time: 3
Area of Effect: 1 weapon
Saving Throw: None

opponent can be hit more easily with an invisible weapon, since it does not see it. The effect in game
terms is that the opponent gets a +2 penalty to his armor class for the duration of the spell. The AC
penalty only applies for being struck by an invisible weapon. True seeing, detect invisible, and all other
invisible detection spells will allow the victim to see the weapon, thus negating the spell's effect. The
weapon remains invisible for the duration of the spell, whether it hits the target or not. The material
components for the spell are an eyelash and a bit of gum arabic.

Cesar's Magnificent Warrior (Enchantment/Charm)

4th level fighter will fight as a 7th level fighter and a 2nd level priest will fight as a 5th level priest.
Spellcasters do not get additional spells, they only fight better. Cesar's Magnificent Warrior has no
effect on a creature's hit points, they remain the same. The spell can be cast on animals or monsters that
do not have a class. In that case, they will fight as creatures having 3 more hit dice. If the spell is cast
on a 0 level character, he will temporarily fight as a 3rd level fighter. The material component of this
spell is a green quartz.

Duration: 1 turn
Casting Time: 1 round

raised from the dead. It increases the recipient's constitution by 1d6. The constitution can go above
racial maximum for that purpose. However, the constitution gained is only valid for the Resurrection or
Raise Dead spell that is about to be cast. These latter spells have to be cast no more than 1 turn after
Cesar's Pre-Raise Dead or the former spell loses its effect. Cesar's Pre-Raise Dead has can have no
effect if the resurrection roll fails. It can not be cast a second time or give the character another chance
of being brought back to life. It can not either help in any way a creature that has a spirit (like an elf) to

way to escape a dangerous situation. Running at 48" or 60" might prove very useful sometimes. The

Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Creature Touched
Saving Throw: None
This spell gives the recipient magic resistance. The percentage given is ((caster's level - 8) + 1d4)
* 5%. Thus a 13th level priest casting that spell and rolling 2 on a 4-sided die could give (13-8 = 5) + 2
= 7, 5%*7 = 35% magical resistance to a creature (or to himself). Any creature can be affected by that
spell. When the recipient has to resist a spell, roll the magic resistance dice before the saving throw. If
the creature rolls under its magical resistance score, the spell has no effect, there is no need for a saving
throw. The spell does not work if the recipient creature already has any degree of magical resistance.
The material component of the spell is a crystal worth at least 100 gp, which vanishes after the spell has
been cast.
 Cesar's Major Fighting Prowess (Alteration)
Sphere: Combat
Range: 10 yards
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 7
Area of Effect: 1 Creature
Saving Throw: None
By casting that spell, a priest improves a creature's fighting ability. In fact, the creature will fight
as a fighter of the same level (or number of hit dice) for the duration of the spell. In addition, the
recipient will gain double specialization (+3, +3) with the weapon he is now using and the attacks per
round corresponding to a specialized fighter of the same level or number of hit dice. The material
component of the spell is a miniature metal sword, which is not consumed by the spell. The priest
needs to point a finger at the creature to be affected.

Cesar's Sacrifice Delayer (Alteration)

Sphere: All
Range: 0
Components: V,S,M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 6 hours
Area of Effect: Priest
Saving Throw: None
This spell can be used by priests of sufficient level and that can not make the usual sacrifice to
their god. For example, our friend Cesar, being deep into s... somewhere can not perform the ritual
sacrifice that his god, Zeus, requires, being a cow every full moon. He casts this spell and his Zeus will
be pleased enough not to make him suffer the consequences. The drawback of that spell is that the
priest will have to make twice more the regular offerings that he missed the next time. So on the next
full moon, Cesar will have to sacrifice 3 cows instead of 1 (2 for the last full moon and one for the
present one). A priest that casts the spell in unjustified circumstances (DM's judgement) will be
severely punished by his god. An unjustified circumstance is when the priest casts the spell but can, to
a reasonable extent make the usual sacrifice. A priest that forgets to make the additional offerings
required the next time will be severely punished as well. The spell can be cast more than once in a row
but he has to remember that he sometimes will have to make one big sacrifice or suffer the
consequences! The material component of the spell is the priest's holy symbol.

Cesar's Shining Light (Conjuration/Summoning)

Sphere: Sun
Range: 0
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 3 rounds
Casting Time: 1
Area of Effect: 10 yards
Saving Throw: Negates
When the priest casts that spell, his eyes begin to glow with a blinding light, just like the sun. If a
creature looks at the priest during that round, it has to make a saving throw versus spell or become
blind for 2d4 rounds. The chance of meeting the priest's gaze should be treated in the same way as the
chance of meeting a medusa's gaze. The material component of the spell is two crystal lenses, that the
caster must put on his eyes when casting the spell. The lenses do not vanish when the spell ends.

Level 6:
Cesar's Cure Critical Wounds (Necromancy) reversible
Sphere: Healing
Range: Touch
Components: V,S
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 5
Saving Throw: None
Area of Effect: Creature Touched
This spell functions in exactly the same way as the regular Cure Critical Wounds spell with only
1 difference, this spell will heal anything that exists (humans, elementals, archons, ...). The spell will
even heal non-corporeal creatures, the casting priest only has to put his hand "through" the creature to
heal it. In other gaming aspects, the spell is identical to the normal cure critical wounds. Undead can be
healed by the reverse of that spell. Casting the normal spell on an undead will actually harm it.

Cesar's Djinni Summoning (Enchantment / Charm)

Sphere: Summoning
Range: 10 yards
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 hour/level
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: 1 Djinni
Saving Throw: None
This spell allows the priest to summon a Djinni (see monster manual). The Djinni will be friendly
to the caster and will accept to serve him for the spell duration. If the caster orders him to do suicidal
acts, or tries to attack him, the Djinni will simply go back to the elemental plane of air and the spell
will be wasted. There is no chance of getting a noble djinni by this summoning, only regular djinnis
answer the call. The material component of the spell is riches for a value of 500 gold pieces (might be
gems, money or anything that would prove useful to the djinni) that has to be given to the djinni upon
his appearance. Of course, when the spell expires, the djinni will go back to the elemental plane of air
with the treasure.

Cesar's Giant Strength (Alteration)

Sphere: Necromantic
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 round per level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Creature Touched
Saving Throw: None
The recipient of this spell temporarily gains a phenomenal strength (as the potions of giant
strength). The spell efficiency varies with the caster's level as follows:
level strength
11-13 20 (+3, +8)
14-16 21 (+4, +9)
17-19 22 (+4, +10)
 20-22 23 (+5, +11)
23-25 24 (+6, +12)
26 and up 25 (+7, +14)
The strength gained may not be combined with a girdle of giant strength or giant strength potions,
in these cases, take whichever is higher. The material component of the spell is a body part (might be a
hair, a tooth, ...) from a giant.

Cesar's Magical Weakness (Abjuration)

Sphere: Protection
Range: 40 yards
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 round / level
Casting Time: 4
Area of Effect: 1 Creature
Saving Throw: None (see spell description)
Cesar's magical weakness is a means of reducing an opponent's magic resistance for a while. To
see how much magic resistance is removed, take the following formula: ((caster's level-10)+1d6) * 5%.
Cesar, a 22nd level priest, casts the spell and rolls a 5 on a 6-sided die. He then removes (22-10) = 12,
12+5 = 17, 17*5% = 85% of the opponent's magic resistance. The opponent's magic resistance is now
85% percent lower, probably now standard. A magic resistance reduced to 0% is considered standard,
there is no such thing as a negative magical resistance. There is no saving throw to that spell but the
affected creature can use its magical resistance as a means of countering the spell. It is then really hard
to lower a higher being's magical resistance, if it is close to 100%. The material component of the spell
is a crystal worth no less than 100 gp, which vanishes after the spell has been cast.

Cesar's Weapon Immunity (Abjuration)

Sphere: Protection
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 round /level
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Creature Touched
Saving Throw: None
This spell allows the priest or another creature to gain weapon immunity, like the monsters which
require a +"x" weapon to hit. The effects of the spell depend on the level of the caster, as follows:
level immunity granted
11-14 Requires magical weapon to hit
15-18 Requires +2 weapon to hit
19-22 Requires +3 weapon to hit
23-26 Requires +4 weapon to hit
27 and up Requires +5 weapon to hit
The recipient of the spell becomes immune to the effects of weapons that do not meet the "plus"
requirement. Example: Cesar, a 22nd level priest, casts this spell onto himself. For 22 rounds, he is
totally immune to the effects of +2 or lesser weapons, it requires a +3 weapon to inflict him damage.
The material component of this spell is a small diamond of no less than 500 g.p. in value. The diamond
is shattered by the spell and is wasted.

Level 7:
Cesar's Acid Immunity (Abjuration)
 Sphere: Protection
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 round / 2 levels
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Creature Touched
Saving Throw: None
This spell is very powerful indeed, it gives the recipient total immunity against any form of acid
attack. Period. No need to bother with saving throws, for the duration of the spell, it is impossible that
the recipient of the spell receives one hp of acid damage. The material component of the spell is one
ounce of pure acid, which must be spread in front of the recipient. The acid can be found in an
alchemist's shop, at a cost of no less than a thousand gold piece an ounce.

Cesar's Charm Dragon (Enchantment / Charm)

Sphere: Charm
Range: 80 yards
Components: V,S,M
Duration: Special
Casting Time: 6
Area of Effect: 1 Dragon
Saving Throw: Negates
This spell is a much more powerful version of the Charm Person or Mammal spell. It can only
be used against true dragons, it will not work on any other monster. The affected dragon has to save
versus spells at -4 to counter the spell's effect. Other aspects of the spell are the same as the 2nd level
spell Charm Person or Mammal. The material component of the spell is the priest's holy symbol.

Cesar's Cold Immunity (Abjuration)

Sphere: Protection
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 round / 2 levels
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Creature Touched
Saving Throw: None
This spell is very powerful indeed, it gives the recipient total immunity against any form of cold
attack. Period. No need to bother with saving throws, for the duration of the spell, it is impossible that
the recipient of the spell receives one hp of cold damage. The material component of the spell is an 1-
inch ice cube, which must be swallowed by the recipient before the spell can take its full effect.

Cesar's Fire Immunity (Abjuration)

Sphere: Protection
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 1 round / 2 levels

This spell is really powerful, it gives the recipient total immunity against any form of fire or
heat attack. Period. No need to bother with saving throws, for the duration of the spell, it is impossible
that the recipient of the spell receives one hp of fire or heat damage. The material component of the
spell is a book made out of rare parchment that must me set afire before the spell can take its full effect.
The book has to cost at least 1000 gold pieces for the spell to work, as you might think, the book is
destroyed by the spell. A suitable book might be a spellbook from a wizard friend but it would be very
unwise to do so!

Cesar's Healing (Necromancy) reversible

Sphere: Healing
Range: Touch
Components: V,S
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 5
Area of Effect: Creature Touched
Saving Throw: None
This spell functions in exactly the same way as the regular Heal spell with only 1 difference,
this spell will heal anything that exists (humans, elementals, archons, ...). The spell will even heal non-
corporeal creatures, the casting priest only has to put his hand "through" the creature to heal it. In other
gaming aspects, the spell is identical to the Heal spell. Undead can be healed by the reverse of that
spell. Casting the normal spell on an undead will actually harm it.

Cesar's Heavy Stone III (Conjuration)

Sphere: Combat
Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: 2 rounds
Casting Time: 8
Area of Effect: 1 Sling Stone
Saving Throw: None

electricity attack. Period. No need to bother with saving throws, for the duration of the spell, it is
impossible that the recipient of the spell receives one hp of lightning or electricity damage. The
material component of the spell is two metal plates made from a special alloy (worth at least 500 gp
each) which must be rubbed together, until they create an electric arc at the end of the fifth segment of
the casting. The metal plates are reusable.

Cesar's Revival (Necromancy)

Sphere: Healing
 Range: Touch
Components: V,S,M
Duration: Permanent
Casting Time: 1 round
Area of Effect: Creature Touched
Saving Throw: None
This is a very potent healing spell. When cast upon a creature, it will automatically heal all
wounds and all diseases (magical or not) simultaneously if the creature was alive (even at -9 hp) before
the casting. Anything that is normally curable by a heal spell is healed by that spell at the same time. If
cast after a raise dead spell, it reduces the recovery time by 90%.

Cesar's Subdivided Prayers (Alteration)

the weapon it is currently using. The material component of the spell is a miniature metal sword, which
is not consumed by the spell. The priest needs to point a finger at the creature to be affected. For more
information about triple specialization, see The Gladiator's Handbook.

Section 5: Creatures of the lower planes

Here are some special creatures of the lower planes, they actually come from Gehenna. Once,
when I was a Dungeon Master, my players were (accidentally) sent there and I wanted to add a little
spice to the adventure by creating a new evil kind of lower plane creatures. The inhabitants of the plane
of Gehenna are dremons. They all have special attacks and special defenses particular to their kind. My
players found out soon enough that Gehenna might not be the Abyss, but it is still not a nice place to
visit !

Guardian Dremons
The guardian dremons are mainly used by lords of the Gehenna for protection but they can be
found wandering anywhere in the plane for reason of their own. They are very dangerous and they
come in three varieties, lesser, normal and greater guardian dremons. Guardian dremons all look like
humans, except of course, for minor changes. The most obvious is that they have four arms, all
equipped with razor-sharp claws. They also have a set of big horns. Guardian dremons have a very
muscular appearance and usually wear no armor. Their eyes are red and their jaws are enlarged, they
have a powerful bite. There is also, somewhere in the Gehenna a dremon lord that first created these
creatures to his image, his name is Azzarlog, prince of guardian dremons.
All guardian dremons are highly intelligent and can use magic-user spells. A lesser guardian
dremon can be considered as a 5th level mage, a normal one 1 7th level mage and a greater guardian
dremon can cast spells as a 9th level mage. They all have huge bat-like wings and they can fly at will
with a maneuvrability class B.
The heat generation attack is always in effect when in combat, everybody in a 20' radius around
the guardian dremon is affected, loosing 5 hp per round due to the heat. This attack is not cumulative if
more than 1 guardian dremon is encountered. All guardian dremons have a poison gland located in
their tail, the poison is very powerful, save is at -2 or die. If a guardian dremon decides to gate another
one of his kind, it takes a full round for the other creature to appear. All guardian dremons are very
quick, even if they are of large size, they are able to make a total of 8 attacks in a single round. Like all
other dremons, they can attack several opponents at once.

Azzarlog, dremon prince of guardian dremons

Azzarlog lives in a huge castle made out of a strange non-meltable black metal located in
Gehenna. He is very well protected in his lair. When he travels, he is always accompanied by 10
greater guardian dremons. He can cast spells as an 18th level magic-user. His heat generation power is
so intense that it makes everyone in a 40' radius lose 2 hit points every segment they spend in that area.
Normally flammable materials must save or else catch fire. Azzarlog has a strength of 25, giving him a
+7 to hit and a +14 to damage.

Boggerwad dremons
Boggerwad dremons are a race of monkey-like humanoids that live in Gehenna. They are
common on that plane but very rare elsewhere. They are small, being only four feet high but they are
very resistant and very strong for their size. They live in small communities of about 20-40 individuals.
They appear to be sexless.
Boggerwad dremons have an incredible hearing, it is impossible that they do not hear any non-
magically silenced sound, that is why their ears tend to be largely overgrown. They have flaming-red
eyes and a surprisingly powerful bite for their size. Boggerwad dremons also have 2 small horns on
their skull however, they do not attack with them, it would only cause 1 point of damage. They also
have a prehensile tail, but its only use may be for posture, it is ineffective in combat. They are
considered as having a strength of 18, giving them a +1 to hit and a +2 to damage.
Half of the time, they will cast their magic missiles instead of attacking. That means that in the
first round, each one of them has 50% chance of firing magical missiles. Those who do not in the first
round have a 50% chance of doing it in the second round, etc... . Remember, each Boggerwad dremon
may only cast magical missiles once per day. If the boggerwad dremons are encountered in lair, there
will be a chief with 7 hit dice, 18/76 strength, 5' tall, claws do 1-10 damage, bite does 1-8 damage and
the chief has high intelligence.

Boggerwad, dremon prince of boggerwad dremons

Boggerwad is the dremon prince who first created the boggerwad dremons (hence their name)
to his image. He appears as a huge boggerwad dremon with a set of big horns, he can use them in
combat. When he travels, he is always accompanied by 20 boggerwad dremons of maximum hit points.
His lair is located somewhere in Gehenna. He lives in a big fortress and he is surrounded by lots
of his kind, ready to fight and die for him. Being a very cunning opponent, the DM should play him
accordingly if the players fight him. He has special abilities that he always uses in the most efficient
way. It takes a full round to gate boggerwad dremons, they appear at the end of that round. Even if he is
hit during that round, the summons will work. The boggerwad dremons appear at the end of the round.
He can use the gate ability an unlimited number of times per day.

Centaur Dremon
It is unknown how these creatures came to exist but they look a lot like the centaurs that are
found in the prime material plane. The only difference is that their human hands are clawed and that
their eyes are jet black, without any pupil. They are uncommon on Gehenna and very rare elsewhere.
Any other characteristics are similar to normal centaurs.

Vulkand Dremons
Vulkand dremons are a very common type of dremon in Gehenna, they look a lot like regular
bears, but with some differences of course. Their fur is a bright fiery-red, they have 2 very short horns
on their foreheads and they always have a threatening grin on their face. All vulkand dremons
constantly have the burning hands spell in effect on their claws. Remember, however, that there is a
save vs. spells for half damage.
The burning hands effect is most of the times equivalent to a 3rd level mage but, it can be
higher, roll the following percentile dice for each vulkand dremon to determine at which effective level
is the burning hands ability:
01-80 3rd level
81-90 4th level
91-95 5th level
96-98 6th level
99 8th level
00 10th level (maximum)
Vulkand dremons are in addition, very strong, roll a d4 to determine it; 1=18/00, 2-3 = 19,
4=20. Their strength gives them a +3 to hit and a damage adjustment of +6 to +8 depending on their
strength, see player's handbook for strength stats.

dreadful creatures, in addition of having demonic powers can draw energy from the negative plane as
well. When a reaper demon strikes with a claw, it drains a level of its victim as well. Being of this size,
reaper dremons are also very strong, despite their skeletal appearance. They can be considered as
having a strength of 18/51, giving them a +2 to hit and a +3 damage adjustment.

Section 6: Miscellaneous
Tables for Acrobats
I personal think that the tables for acrobat characters are incomplete. Once I played a dwarven
fighter acrobat with 18/92 strength. 18/92 is a lot stronger that 18, and I wanted to know what were the
adjustments to his skills. The answer could not be found, no table is given for exceptional strength, that
is why I made one. I also included very high ability scores (all the way up to 25) for all the Darksun
fans out there.
Table 1: Strength adjustments
Strength High Jumping Standing Running

The second table is for the dexterity adjustments. Once again, I continued the table all the way to
25. Table 3 lists the adjustments for thieving abilities for non-standard races. Table 4 is the same as
table 3 except that it is for acrobat skills.

Rules for 1st edition monks

The monks in the first edition have the capability of killing or incapacitating an opponent.
However, this ability does not take into account the monk's own size. Here's a table that does. The
percentages are referring to the percentages of the monk's own height and weight. This table can also
be applied to the martial artist, p.14 if you wish to use that class.
Table for monks:

Height & Weight of Characters

I will always remember the first time that I played AD&D. When I rolled my character's height
and weight, I got an incomprehensible result. I got a 6'11" character weighing 135 pounds ! And, on
top of that, my character had a strength of 18 ! Now something's not logical around here ! The system
for the second edition is a bit better but not much. The main flaw is that height is unrelated to weight
and that the strength does not have any bearing on the size of a character. O.K. the strongest people are
not always huge but, admit it, you expect a 18/00 - strength fighter to be a bit bigger than a scrawny 9 -
strength magic-user !
The method that I use is based on an old DRAGON magazine from the mid-80's, so if anybody
knows which dragon it is and the name of the author, then tell me and I will gladly add it to my article.
Actually, my method is an expansion of the previous one. The previous one only dealt with common
races and there were some things that were still not logical like the fact that you could get more
variation while generating a human than other races. Also, with this method, you can get extreme
results, that is, you can obtain real big characters or real small ones, but then again, these happen very
rarely.
The tallest human being in history was 8'11" tall and the tallest you can get with my method is
8'1". The chance of getting that result is, as you expected, really small, 1 in over 300 millions. I really
wanted to cover all possibilities to make the most realistic system possible. Of course, if you always
roll characters with 18 strength, you will often get football players as PCs. You have to consider that by
using the 3d6 method (for NPCs, PCs are exceptional), there is 1 chance in 216 of having a strength of
18. The strongest man in 216 is usually, but not always, one of the biggest. This method is complex but
generates good and logical results. Now, the people who always wanted to play a 6'6" 300 pounds
barbarian might, if they are lucky, just roll what they wanted to get!
You will notice that there is no adjustments for exceptional strength, this is because I consider
exceptional strength to be part of a training process for the warrior class, not something innate. Also the
modifiers for strength are computed using the regular human maximum, that is, 18. That is not the case
of all races. For example, if you were to roll a mul from Darksun, with a maximum strength of 22, in
the tables you will have to consider Strength 22 as Strength 18, 21 as 17, 20 as 16, ...
The first step is to roll the basic dice for the race and sex of your character, in table 1. For
example, if you want to create a human character, you roll 2d6 and add it to 60, this is the base
unmodified height in inches of your character. For odd-numbered dice, like d7, you roll a d8 and
discard 8 results. After that, you have to roll on table 2 to find if the base height will be modified. You
have to roll a d10000 !, that means two d% in a row, treat 0 as 0. Per example, if you roll 0,0,0,3, the
result is 0003, you will have a really little character (at least, for his race). Then you will get a modifier,
in our previous example, the modifier is 0.80 - 0.83, or 0.79 + d4*0.01. This is the modifier that you
have to apply to the base height. Your character's height is now (base height * modifier) or simply
non- augmented height.
Then you have to consult table 3, the height modifications of strength. For example, if you have
strength of 17, the modifier is 1.06. You then multiply the non-augmented height by that multiplier and
it will give you your real character's height.
Then, you will have to go on to table 4 to roll your character's weight. To find your character's
weight, you divide its height (after all modifiers) by 72. That number cubed multiplied by 175 is your
character's base weight in pounds. Symbolically, the formula is:
((height/72)**3) * 175
Now you have to roll another d10000 like you did on table 2. You will then find an adjustment,
like 1.09-1.16, or 1.08+d8*0.01. You multiply that modifier to your character's base weight. Example:
1.1 * 175 = 192.5 or 193 lbs. This is the non-augmented weight of your character. Then you have to go
on table 5, to find out what is your weight modifier related to strength. You then multiply that by your
non-augmented weight and it gives you your character's final weight ! Complicated, but realistic.
There is but one final step, if you are not a human. You have to multiply your final weight by
your racial weight modifier. This weight modifier is in the right-most column in table 1. For example,
for Hill dwarves, it is 1.9. A hill dwarf has to multiply his final weight by that modifier to find out his
real final weight. All the races that I know of are hereby included (a lot), except the races found in the
AD&D guide to Star Trek because I am really not familiar with these races (I am just a part-time
Trekkie). I had to modify some weight statistics because they were sometimes totally illogical. For
example, the Fremlin, its picture in the Humanoids handbook indicates that it is a stout creature, but if
you had a 6-foot tall character with the proportionate average height and weight of a fremlin, it would
be a bit too heavy. If you use the formula given above, it will yield a result of 1704 pounds for an
average 6 foot tall, a bit too heavy isn't it ?. I will not detail all the modifications that I've made but I've
made them with the goal of obtaining the most logical results possible.
Also included are the races found in the Great Net Handbook, in which I found the Half-Giants
very interesting.

Lifespan of Characters:
Here is a method of my own to determine how old a being will live. It is simple to use. Just take
the base age as being the maximum age (120 years for humans). Then roll the following percentile dice
on table 1:
Table 1:

98 98%
99 99%
00 100%
The age modifier is the age that your character will live, for example, a human gets a 75%, his
dying age will be 120*0.75 = 90 years. This method will often yield reasonable life spans, many
characters will live for about 75 years and there is but a very small chance, which is logical, how many
120-years have you seen (or heard of) in your life ? Optionally, you can add another modifier related to
the constitution score (at adult age). Some people say that if you are healthy, you will have a better
chance of dying at an older age. You just multiply the dying age by the result in table 3.
