onus is reduced to +2 when the bog trog is wearing armor<br />

not specially camouflaged <strong>for</strong> his surroundings.<br />

Amphibious (Ex): Although bog trogs are aquatic, they<br />

can survive indefinitely on land.<br />

Skills: *Bog trogs have a +2 racial bonus to Move<br />

Silently and Spot checks and a +4 racial bonus to all Craft<br />

(camouflage) checks. They can move through water at their<br />

swim speed without making Swim checks. They<br />

have a +8 racial bonus to any Swim check to<br />

per<strong>for</strong>m a special action or avoid a hazard. They<br />

can always choose to take 10 on<br />

Swim checks even if<br />

distracted or threatened.<br />

A bog trogs can<br />

use the run action while<br />

swimming, provided it swims<br />

in a straight line. *They also<br />

can use their Dexterity modifier<br />

instead of their Intelligence<br />

modifier <strong>for</strong> Craft (camouflage)<br />

checks.<br />

Special Note:<br />

Bog trog piecemeal<br />

armor has a -1<br />

armor check<br />

penalty.<br />

Treasure<br />

Though notoriously vicious and difficult to deal with, bog<br />

trogs are well respected <strong>for</strong> their acumen when it comes to<br />

camouflage. Bog trog parkas, though hard to find, grant a +4<br />

circumstance bonus to Hide checks when worn in an appropriate<br />

environment; they can be worn over armor but impose an additional<br />

-1 armor check penalty. Such parkas sell <strong>for</strong> 50 to 200 gp<br />

depending on availability. If one has the connections, he might<br />

even be able to hire bog trog craftsmen <strong>for</strong> custom camouflaging<br />

assignments (such as, say, camouflaging a bunker). Items<br />

concealed as such typically add +5 or more to the Spot check<br />

DC. Payment <strong>for</strong> such chores varies widely and typically involves<br />

some sort of bartering or favors.<br />

Bog Trog<br />

Legends & Lore<br />

CoMMoN: Invisible creatures stalk the waters and trails of<br />

deep swamps, capturing any who venture too far and leaving no<br />

survivors.<br />

UNCoMMoN: These creatures are strange humanoids called<br />

bog trogs, and they can change their skin to blend in with their<br />

surroundings.<br />

RARE: Bog trogs are<br />

most active during the<br />

morning and evening<br />

hours, and they are far<br />

more loath to pursue<br />

trespassers during the<br />

peak hours of day. If<br />

they are encountered,<br />

an overt display of raw<br />

strength will win the<br />

respect of a bog trog<br />

party, and if played up<br />

correctly it could lead to a<br />

peaceful parley.<br />

obSCURE: Bog trog<br />

legends speak of a truly<br />

mammoth bog trog lizard<br />

beast called Ashiga.<br />

He was defeated centuries<br />

ago by the giant<br />

Ulmer (who himself<br />

disappeared centuries<br />

ago) and buried himself<br />

deep, deep beneath Sike<br />

Dulra (the Great Swamp<br />

of bog trog legend)<br />

where he sleeps even<br />

today. Rumor has it that the bog trogs have never ceased their<br />

search <strong>for</strong> Ashiga, who they dearly hope to awaken.<br />

Hooks<br />

A woodsman originally out of Point Bourne has gone missing<br />

in the North<strong>for</strong>est region of northern Cygnar, and it is<br />

suspected that a tribe of ravenous bog trogs has captured him.<br />

The man’s family is offering a healthy reward to anyone who can<br />

return him, alive or dead (preferably alive). The truth of the<br />

matter is that the man has gone off his rocker believing himself<br />

to be a fictitious lizard god risen from Urcaen (related to Ashiga<br />

perhaps?). Furthermore, the tribe of bog trogs believe him and<br />

have adopted him as their living deity. Needless to say, they will<br />

not be too willing to part with him (nor he to come along).<br />
