[QUOTE="Syunsuke, post: 473179, member: 3443"] [b]monsters, monsters![/b] There are [i]three[/i] RPG systems officially publisehd for Lodoss. First system is "Recode of Lodoss war Companiom" (3 books). After several years, much rivised ed. was published(lile AD&D for original D&D).This system is named "Lodoss RPG". After more several years, "Lodoss Island World Guide" was published. This book is suppliment for "Sword World RPG". Sword World RPG was (is?) a very popular game in Japan, so this book was demanded. I think "Lodoss RPG" is most usuful and "pure" for data source , so I will use it mostly with some consultant with Lodoss Island World Guide. Monsters? I think most of them are familiar, though relative strength of them may be different from D&D. I'll list them in "Monster Level" order. Monster level is similar to CR; the larger, the stronger. I'll add some descriptions if I think it have to be. Otherwise, names only. Let's bigin. Monster level (ML) 1 Wil-O'-the-Wisp : spirit(elemental?) of light in Lodoss. wolf goblin kobold giant ant giant centipede skelton steel bee : giant wasp with steel-hard body snake :assumed poisonous ginant spider :assumed hunters zombie giant rat ML 2 arial jellyfish :giant levitating jellyfish with paralys atack ghoul gremline :as small fiend goblin shaman :goblin with shaman class:) giant slug giant bat :non blood sucker giant poisonous toad giant lizard shade : spirit of darkness, counter part to Wil-O'-the-Wisp slime : very weak ooze, not very specific dryad : spirit of tree bear hobgoblin wererat leprechaun vampire thorn(?) : blood sucking plant, not undead ML 3 (giant) amoeba : another ooze eagle undine(spelling?) : water elemental kobold chief : stronger kobold:D explained as "naturally stronger kobold" salamander : fire elemental giant spider :web sipnner ginat scorpion silph(spelling?) : air elemental demon warrior :low inteligent fiend gnome : earth elemental, not humanoid harpy fairy werewolf werebear vampire bat :small blood sucking bat, not undead ML 4 centaur goblin lord : naturaly more stronger goblin ginat stag beetle giant mantice viper lizardman : lizardfolk ML 5 wood golem ogre gargoyle gillman(?) :sahuagin, I think claw beast : ginat feline hippogriff pegasus minotaur landcrawler :giant worm lesser vampire :vampire spawn ML 6 andona (I can't figure) :carrion crawler energy ball :nyth (M of Faerum) works fine for this one, I think ghoulcrawler :undead carrion crawler, don't ask me:D two-headed snake : one head deliver con poison, another head deliver magical poison that cause confusion dragon tooth warrior : skelton-lile "instant" construct. maneater : carnivorous plant that can disguise as neighbou plants lizard king : king of lizardman wraith wight ML 7 ent : treant griffon scylla :from greek myth hell hound lesser demon weretiger ML 8 cockatrice sea surpent troll flesh golem mummy manticore : highly intelligent and cast some spells (supposed to be divine) lamia : beautiful female human upper body with giant snake lower body. cast arcane spells and shape change to human ML 9 guard demon :greater demon, cast divine spells greater demon : cast both aracne and devine spells giant doppelgangar :greater doppelganger in D&D term. treated as fiend mist : mist-like shapeless undead, emit dim yellow light medusa ML 10 cyclopse stone golem sphinx : seems like gynosphinx spectre darkhood :cloak-like undead wyvern ML 11 iron golem chimera small dragon :without spell casting basilisik petrifying gaze, poison (con damage, I think) phantom : ghost haunt :another ghost ML 12 ghost : one more ghost:) hydra : breath fire roc wyrm (wurm?) : wingless dragon, breath fire arcdemon : arcfiend efreeti : greater fire elemental genie : greater air elemental dragon : most (if not all) dragon in Lodoss breath fire behemoth : greater earth elemental fenlile(spelling?) : greater sonw elemental, name taken after northan myth vampire lord :true vampire comment: 1.There are no shapeless (D&D like) elemental in Lodoss. 2."Greater elemental" seems to have nearly deity power. 3.I don't know why such many giant vermins are listed. 4.PC (or NPC) humanoids aren't listed as "monsters". Some more are listed in "Lodoss Island World Guide", but I'm tired now:) [/QUOTE]
