Fearsome<br />
<strong>The</strong> sight <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> creature causes fear <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> hearts <strong>of</strong><br />
most NPCs and lesser creatures. Player characters<br />
and NPCs with levels are unaffected. This ability<br />
also adds +2 to Initiative and Defense Class.<br />
Gallop<br />
Only quadrupeds (and creatures with more than four<br />
legs) may have this special ability. When a creature<br />
with this special ability uses <strong>the</strong> full movement<br />
option, its movement is not doubled (as per <strong>the</strong><br />
usual rules) but quadrupled.<br />
Some Aquatic be<strong>in</strong>gs have a similar ability called<br />
Cruise which <strong>in</strong>creases <strong>the</strong>ir underwater movement<br />
<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> same proportion.<br />
Grapple<br />
Beware, I’ve got <strong>the</strong> Crush<strong>in</strong>g Missiles special ability!<br />
Crush<strong>in</strong>g Missiles<br />
Only Gigantic creatures may have this special<br />
ability. <strong>The</strong> creature may throw huge boulders,<br />
uprooted trees etc at its opponents. In game terms,<br />
this special attack form cannot be used with any<br />
o<strong>the</strong>r attack form dur<strong>in</strong>g this round ; it requires no<br />
attack roll but may be avoided with a Danger<br />
Evasion roll aga<strong>in</strong>st a target number <strong>of</strong> 15.<br />
A Crush<strong>in</strong>g Missile has a maximum range <strong>of</strong> 60 feet<br />
and does <strong>the</strong> same damage as <strong>the</strong> creature’s melee<br />
attacks (3d6 Hits for Gigantic creatures).<br />
Entangle<br />
<strong>The</strong> creature has tentacles or o<strong>the</strong>r appendages it<br />
may use to entangle its victims. This ability may also<br />
reflect <strong>the</strong> power to create spider-like webs.<br />
An entangle attack counts as one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> creature’s<br />
normal attacks and is treated as a missile attack<br />
with a maximum range equal to 5’ for Small<br />
creatures, 10’ for Medium ones, 20’ for Large ones<br />
and 30’ for Gigantic ones.<br />
<strong>The</strong> creature can make wrestl<strong>in</strong>g attacks. <strong>The</strong>se<br />
attacks use <strong>the</strong> creature’s standard Melee modifier<br />
and are resolved us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> standard wrestl<strong>in</strong>g rules.<br />
Grappl<strong>in</strong>g attacks always take place at <strong>the</strong> end <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>the</strong> melee phase, as per <strong>the</strong> usual wrestl<strong>in</strong>g rules.<br />
Victims who try to break free must roll aga<strong>in</strong>st an<br />
hypo<strong>the</strong>tical Might score which depends on <strong>the</strong> Size<br />
<strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> creature: 16 for Medium-sized creatures, 20<br />
for Large ones and 24 for Gigantic ones.<br />
Creatures who have immobilized <strong>the</strong>ir opponent will<br />
have to forfeit <strong>the</strong>ir attack (or, <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> case <strong>of</strong> bigger<br />
creatures, one <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir attacks) <strong>in</strong> order to keep <strong>the</strong>ir<br />
victim immobilized.<br />
Thus, a Large creature (which can normally attack<br />
two men-sized opponents per round) will still be<br />
able to make one attack per round while keep<strong>in</strong>g a<br />
Grappled victim immobilized.<br />
Creatures that also have <strong>the</strong> Crush<strong>in</strong>g Damage<br />
special ability are able to <strong>in</strong>flict actual physical<br />
damage to <strong>the</strong>ir immobilized victims.<br />
This attack does not require an attack roll so armor<br />
and shield are useless aga<strong>in</strong>st it – but <strong>the</strong> chosen<br />
target may avoid be<strong>in</strong>g entangled with a successful<br />
Danger Evasion roll aga<strong>in</strong>st a target number <strong>of</strong> 15.<br />
An entangled character cannot move but may<br />
cont<strong>in</strong>ue to fight with an Attack and Initiative penalty<br />
<strong>of</strong> -4. This also applies to all subsequent Danger<br />
Evasion rolls <strong>the</strong> victim may have to make.<br />
<strong>The</strong> victim may try to break free us<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> same<br />
rules as for wrestl<strong>in</strong>g, roll<strong>in</strong>g aga<strong>in</strong>st a Might <strong>of</strong> 12<br />
for Small creatures, 16 for Medium-sized ones, 20<br />
for Large ones and 24 for Gigantic ones.<br />
Wait a m<strong>in</strong>ute! Is this a regular Grapple attack?<br />
