[QUOTE="Shade, post: 5815120, member: 287"] Although "humans", these may be just different enough to deserve a conversion... [B]THE HEK[/B] FREQUENCY: Uncommon NO. APPEARING: 20-40 ARMOUR CLASS: 7 MOVE: 6" HIT DICE: 1d10 % IN LAIR: 15% TREASURE TYPE: None NO. OF ATTACKS: 1 DAMAGE/ATTACK By weapon type SPECIAL ATTACKS. +1 to hit SPECIAL DEFENCES. Nil ALIGNMENT Lawful Neutral SIZE: Small (4'+ tall) PSIONIC ABILITY: Nil Attack/Defence Modes: Nil LEVEL/X.P. VALIJE: Variable The Hek are small humans. In the years following the Cataclysm they adapted to the harsh conditions of the Ash Mire. They are short and stocky. Body temperature is high (110F). To prevent water loss from sweating, they coat their bodies with a waxy substance derived from the roots of the epycott plant. They are able to survive on only a pint of water a day. The Hek are obsessed with water. To them it symbolises life, wealth and power. Certain Hek females are able to sense and locate water up to a mile away. These diviners are also able to sense the casting of spells such as create water or create food and water, from up to 5 miles away. The Hek live in small tribal groups consisting of: 1 7th level fighter-leader 2-3 5th level fighter-lieutenants 20-40 1st level fighter-tribesmen 1-2 0 level female diviners 20-30 0 level females 10-15 0 level young While in the Ash Mire each Hek will carry 2 days' water in a beautifully fashioned bone and hide water bottle. The warriors of Hek tribes are all skilled riders of giant striders, and their skill with their weapons gives them +1 on their "to hit" rolls. The Hek speak their own language, but leaders and licutenants also speak an archaic form of the common tongue. The Epycott Plant: the Hek survive in the Ash Mire by collecting the roots of the epycott plant. This is a hardy plant that grows only in the Ash Mire. It has a vigorous root system that extends over many miles beneath the dust. At sporadic intervals the roots push towards the surface where bushes sprout rapidly. The bushes live for only a few days before being shrivelled by the sun. During this time the Hek locate the bushes, dig down and harvest the roots. The roots are pounded to separate fibres from the hard outer skin, leaving the mushy flesh and a waxy juice. The fibres are used to produce clothing, footwear and tents. The flesh is used to feed the Hek's underground fungus gardens and their giant striders. The juice is used as body wax which after a few hours exposure to the air, begins to smell very unpleasant to any non-Hek. Originally appeared in UK6 – All That Glitters (1984). [/QUOTE]
