Here's my takes and an idea of what monsters look like -- a bit more brutal than standard 13th age (the aboleth was very nasty)AbolethLarge 4th level monster [aberrant]Initiative: +9    Fear Threshold 18Mucus in the water; Engaged enemies take a +4 vs PD when they become engaged or when they start their turn. Mucus lodges in your throat and makes you able to breath water but NOT air for d3 hours.4x Tentacles +9 vs PD; 4 damage, DC 10 CON or flesh-to-slime. DC 10 CHA/WIS or confused (save ends)Confuse: (3x daily, ranged, nearby) +9 vs MD. Target is confused [natural 16+] target is enslavedFlesh-to-slime: skin turns to a mucous membrane and must be continuously kept wet or take 4 damage every ten minutes as it dries out. Normal save every full heal-up to throw off the effects. A Hard INT check to heal by another will make this a normal check.Enslaved: Consumed by a desire to serve the aboleth. It will not fight for it, but will follow other orders. It is a quick CHA check for an ally to trigger a normal save. If that check succeeds they become confused. If they fail to save against the confusion, they become enslaved again. A natural 20 on any save renders that character immune to enslavement by this aboleth.AC 20    PD 18    MD 14    HP 108HoranLightning missile +9 vs. AC—10 damage. Natural even hit dazed, save ends.Guards and Wards: fog corridors, all doors arcane locked and hidden behind illusory blank walls, webs everywhere. Web requires DC15 strength to push through. Daily spellHaste / Slow: +8 vs MD. Miss every second turn, save ends. Or get an extra non-magic attack each round with haste. Easy save or it goes away. Recharges on even escalation diceCone of Electricity: +8 vs MDaffects 2-5 nearby; 20 points damage and dazed, easy save.Hideaway: +8 vs MD or forget last 5 minutes and he becomes invisible, save or it ends.Ring of Counter-spells: When an enemy targets Horan with a spell, he can roll a save; success means the spell has no effect on the dragon. If Horan is staggered, the save target increases by +5. For players, this is recharge 16+; Horan crafted this for himself!Bracers of armor: +2 armor (champion). Cannot be worn with any other armor.Initiative +7         AC 21        PD 19        MD 19         HP 76</blockquote>
