18.3. SCORPION, GIANT CHAPTER 18. S
18.3. Scorpion, Giant
Scorpions are mean-spirited and aggressive creatures; the giant versions
have tempers to match!
• Attributes: Agility d6, Smarts d4 (A), Spirit d8, Strength d12, Vigor
d10
• Skills: Fighting d8, Intimidation d8, Notice d8
• Pace: 6; Parry: 6; Toughness: 12 (3)
• Edges: Quick
• Special Abilities:
– Armor +3: Chitinous body.
– Claws: Str+d6. If the scorpion gets a raise on its Fighting roll, it
can attack the target with it’s tail with no multiaction penalty.
– Fear
– Size +2
– Tail Spike: Str+d8. Those hit with spike for at least a Shaken
result must immediately make a Vigor roll. Failure means they’
become Exhausted, and they have to make a second Vigor roll
after 2d6 minutes or die. This poison can be treated normally
(see SW:EX page 103).
18.4. Screaming Fungus
This is an environmental hazard, like the Corrosive Slime. Patches of
this fungi are typically fairly large (Large Burst Template sized), yellowgrey
in color, and dotted with fungi-covered bones of various creatures.
Anyone setting foot on a fungus will ‘hear’ a horrible scream inside their
head. They’ll have to make a Spirit roll immediately or be paralyzed by
the scream and unable to move. Each subsequent round they must continue
making Spirit rolls or take levels of Fatigue. Once reduced to Incapacitated,
they collapse, and fungus will begin growing on them at an
astonishing pace, completely covering the character. They’ll have to make
a Vigor roll each round or die, suffocated by the fungus. The ‘scream’ is
psychic in nature, and only those in contact with the fungus can actually
hear it. (Characters with a psychic-based Arcane Background might be
able to, though they wouldn’t suffer the full effects unless in contact with
the fungus.)
