13.1. Leech, Giant
There are certainly creatures deadlier than the giant leech, but few which
cause such revulsion. They’re typically 3 to 4 feet long, and live in swamps
and bogs. They attach themselves to unwary travellers and drain them dry.
• Attributes: Agility d4, Smarts d4 (A), Spirit d6, Strength d4, Vigor d4
• Skills: Fighting d6, Notice d8, Stealth d8, Swimming d6
• Pace: 2 / 6; Parry: 5; Toughness: 2
• Special Abilities:
– Aquatic: Leeches function equally well in water and on land; they
swim at Pace 6.
– Bite: Str+d4.
– Blood Drain: Any bite from a giant leech which results at least
in a Shaken will inject the victim with a numbing poison. Victims
take a level of Fatigue every minute (they get a new Notice
check when they do); they die if reduced below Incapacitated.
The victim must make a Notice roll when unaware of the attack
(eg. when the Leech approach with a Stealth roll); otherwise,
they won’t even know they’re being killed!
– Camouflage: Leeches are almost impossible to see in the murky
swampwater of their home; they get a +4 to Stealth rolls there.
– Size -2
– Slow: On land, leeches move at Pace 2.
– Weakness (Salt): A fistful of salt scattered on a leech will kill it
almost instantly.
13.2. Living Statues
Similar to golems in many respects, living statues differ in one key area:
they’re independent, sentient beings. These writeups are for statues of
roughly human size and shape; living statues can come in any form or
size, however.
