Monsters Human, Normal Hit Dice: 1d6 Armor Class: 9 [10] Attacks: Weapon (1d6) Saving Throw: 18 Special: None Move: 12 Alignment: Any Challenge Level/XP: B/10 Normal humans are untrained peasants or townsfolk. Human, Sergeant-at-Arms Hit Dice: 3 Armor Class: 5 [14] Attacks: Weapon (1d8) Saving Throw: 17 Special: None Move: 12 Alignment: Any Challenge Level/XP: 3/60 Human sergeants are normally found in command of 1d6+5 human soldiers. These are the leaders of city guard units and other small military groups. Human, Soldier Hit Dice: 1 Armor Class: 7 [12] Attacks: Weapon (1d8) Saving Throw: 17 Special: None Move: 12 Alignment: Any Challenge Level/XP: 1/15 Human soldiers serve as city guardsmen, mercenaries, and men-atarms. They are generally armed with leather armor and a mace, sword, or spear. Hydra Hit Dice: 5-12 (equal to the number of heads) Armor Class: 5 [14] Attacks: 5-12 bites (1d6) Saving Throw: 12, 11, 9, 8, 6, 5, 4, or 3 Special: None Move: 9 Alignment: Neutrality Challenge Level/XP: 5 HD (7/600), 6 HD (8/800), 7 HD (9/1,100), 8 HD (10/1,400), 9 HD (11/1,700), 10 HD (12/2,000), 11 HD (13/2,300), 12 HD (14/2,600) Hydrae are great lizard-like or snake-like creatures with multiple heads. Each head has one hit die of its own, and when an individual head takes that much damage, that head dies. The body has as many hit dice as the total of the heads, so it is a matter of good strategy for adventurers to focus either on killing heads (when all the heads are dead the body dies) or killing the creature by attacking the body (in which case the heads die, too). Hydrae that breathe fire or regenerate their heads are also known to exist. Invisible Stalker Hit Dice: 8 Armor Class: 3 [16] Attacks: “Bite” (4d4) Saving Throw: 8 Special: Invisible Move: Fly 12 Alignment: Neutrality Challenge Level/XP: 9/1,100 Invisible stalkers are generally found only as a result of the spell Invisible Stalker. They are invisible flying beings created to follow a single command made by the caster. Kobold Hit Dice: 1d4 hp Armor Class: 7 [12] Attacks: Weapon (1d6) Saving Throw: 18 Special: None Move: 6 Alignment: Chaos Challenge Level/XP: A/5 Kobolds are subterranean, vaguely goblin-like humanoids. They have a -1 penalty when fighting above ground. Many use slings or short bows, and they fight with short swords or spiked clubs in melee combat. Leech, Giant Hit Dice: 2 Armor Class: 3 [16] Attacks: 1 bite (2d6) Saving Throw: 16 Special: Suck blood Move: 6 Alignment: Neutrality Challenge Level/XP: 5/240 If a giant leech hits with its attack, it drains a level of experience on the following round. Anyone reduced below a level of 0 will die. Lost levels of experience most likely return at a rate of 1 per day, if the character rests. Freshwater leeches might simply drain hit points. Lich Hit Dice: 12+ Armor Class: 3 [16] Attacks: Hand (1d10 + automatic paralysis) Saving Throw: 3 Special: Appearance causes paralytic fear, touch causes automatic paralysis, spells Move: 6 Alignment: Chaos Challenge Level/XP: 12 HD (15/2,900), 13 HD (16/3,200), 14 HD (17/3,500), 15 HD (18/3,800), 16 HD (19/4,100), 17 HD (20/4,400), 18 HD (21/4,700) Liches are the undead remnants of wizards, either made undead by their own deliberate acts during life, or as the result of other magical forces (possibly including their own magics gone awry). A lich has the same number of hit dice as the original Magic-User and the same spellcasting powers. A lich’s touch causes paralysis with no saving throw, and the very sight of one of these dread creatures causes any being of 4 HD or below to flee in abject terror. Liches are highly intelligent and totally malign. 106
Lion Hit Dice: 5+2 Armor Class: 6 [13] Attacks: 2 claws (1d4), 1 bite (1d8) Saving Throw: 12 Special: None Move: 12 Alignment: Neutrality Challenge Level/XP: 5/240 Male lions are noticeably larger than their female counterparts, and easily identified by their manes. They are usually solitary beasts, found leading a pride only in their prime. The lioness, while smaller and having an AC of 7 [12], is an indisputably skillful hunter— far faster and more agile than the male lion. Lionesses often coordinate with others in their pride to bring down prey. Lizardman Hit Dice: 2+1 Armor Class: 5 [14] Attacks: 2 claws (1d3), 1 bite (1d8) Saving Throw: 16 Special: Underwater Move: 6/12 (swimming) Alignment: Usually Chaos Challenge Level/XP: 2/30 Lizardmen are reptilian humanoids, both male and female, usually living in tribal villages in the depths of fetid swamps. Some can hold their breath for long durations (an hour or more), while other can actually breathe underwater. Lurker, Ceiling Hit Dice: 10 Armor Class: 6 [13] Attacks: 1 crush (1d6) Saving Throw: 5 Special: Smother Move: 1/7 (flying) Alignment: Neutrality Challenge Level/XP: 10/1400 Lycanthropes Lycanthropes are were-creatures, particularly those in whom the disease permits assumption of a hybrid form of the human and animal. They cannot be hit by normal weapons: only silver and magical weapons affect them. If anyone is attacked and brought below 50% hit points by a lycanthrope, the person will become a lycanthrope himself. Lycanthrope, Werebear Hit Dice: 6 Armor Class: 2 [17] Attacks: 2 claws (1d3), 1 bite (2d4) Saving Throw: 9 Special: Lycanthropy, hit only by magic or silver weapons. hug Move: 9 Alignment: Neutrality or Chaos Challenge Level/XP: 8/800 Werebears are often found in temperate forests. On an attack roll of 18+ (natural roll) with its claws, the werebear grabs its victim and hugs it for an additional 2d8 points of damage. Lycanthrope, Wereboar Hit Dice: 5 Armor Class: 4 [15] Attacks: Bite (2d6) Saving Throw: 12 Special: Lycanthropy, hit only by magic or silver weapons Move: 12 Alignment: Neutrality or Chaos Challenge Level/XP: 6/400 Wereboars are often found in the remote wilderness. Monsters Lycanthrope, Wererat Hit Dice: 3 Armor Class: 6 [13] Attacks: Bite (1d3), Weapon (1d6) Saving Throw: 14 Special: Control rats, lycanthropy, hit only by magic or silver weapons Move: 12 Alignment: Chaos Challenge Level/XP: 4/120 Wererats are often found in cities, lurking in shadowy alleyways. Wererats can control rats, and are extremely stealthy, surprising opponents on 1–4 on a d6. Lurkers resemble floating manta rays, with a rough, stone-like undersurface. They levitate to ceiling-tops and wait for prey to walk underneath, whereupon they drop and enfold the victim in their thick “wings” (to-hit roll). Anyone trapped inside a lurker’s clutches takes 1d6 points of damage per round from crushing, and will suffocate within 1d4+1 rounds unless the lurker is killed. There is normally only a 10% chance to detect a lurker’s presence visually before it attacks, and it has a 65% chance to gain initiative automatically (unless a “surprise roll” system is being used, in which case the lurker has a 4 in 6 chance to gain surprise). 107
