Shadowdark: Stocking A Dungeon Example


log in or register to remove this ad

I want to build the next adventure site around a unique, bespoke enemy, so I am going to roll one up! (see page 190 of the SD rules)

Combat = d20 = 9 = PL (party level) = LV 3
Quality = d20 = 2 = Avian
Weakness = d20 = 10 = Silver
AC 13, +3 beak, 1d8 damage.

Now let's mutate it! (page 191)

Mutation 1 = 1d12 = 1 = Shapechanger (ooh, this goes well with the silver weakness)
Mutation 2 = 1d12 = 8 = Life Draining Touch (we will say that hit point damage it does cannot be healed naturally)
Mutation 3 = 1d12 = 10 = Blood draining bite.

Okay. I got it. Ladies and Gentlemen and Children of All Ages: the Were-Stirge!

One of the reasons I love random tables is this: i would never have decided to put a were-stirge in an adventure on my own.
What ChatGPT thinks a were-stirge looks like:

NOTE: This would have just gone in the Shadowdark General thread but the author of that thread decided to lock me out with two way ignore.

Same. I've been thinking that I should start a new Shadowdark thread. But that would lock out that other person, so maybe somebody less (apparently) offensive than either of us should start it....?
