Revised Wolfen Race for Marth Ice World (Labyrinth Lord AEC)

I find myself tinkering on Labyrinth Lord Advanced Edition Companion races lately for my homebrewed ice world of Marth. I've always been a fan of werewolf / humanoid wolf races in D&D. They are somewhat based on the Palladium wolfen and I picture them having a quasi-Buddhist and shamanistic culture.

Setting Blurb: Marth is a dying world that has been locked in a perpetual ice age after the death of most of its gods due to their avarice and the powerful kingdom slaying rituals of mere mortals. There is a shread of hope though. Recently many have had recurring dreams of the last surviving goddess Fallosnimia waking up from her deep ages long slumber. Many believe the awakening of the nature deity means that there will be warmer days ahead.

REVISED LL AEC WOLFEN

Requirements: DEX 8, WIS 8 

Ability Modifiers: DEX +1, INT -1

Ability Min/Max: STR 3/18, DEX 8/19, CON 6/18, INT 3/18, WIS 8/18, CHA 3/18

Wolfen are covered in thick warm fur. They typically weigh about 185 pounds and are between 5 ½ to 6 feet tall. Though they tend to be peaceful friendly people, they defend their territory and families with their lives. Many wolfen meditate on the open tundra, listening for guiding wisdom on the colf wind.

Special Abilities

*Wolfen can use any weapon granted to them by class, but they are limited to natural armor made from materials like leather, hide, pelts, and scales.

*Cold Resistance: They take half damage from cold and 150% damage from fire.

*Wolfen have excellent hearing. They hear noise as if they were a thief of the same level but with a +1 bonus.

*They can track as well as a ranger can due to their strong sense of smell.

*In addition to normal melee attacks wolfen get an extra free bite attack. The attack roll is modified by their DEX modifier. It deals 1D4 damage + STR modifier.

*Wolfen can speak common, elvish, gnoll, wolfen, and yeti.

Wolfen receive the following saving throw bonuses: 

• +4 save versus breath attacks 

• +1 save versus wands 

• +1 save versus spells or spell-like devices

• +6 save versus cold

WOLFEN CLASSES AVAILABLE & LEVEL LIMITS

Wolfen may select from the following classes, with the indicated level limits. 

Druid 10

Fighter 12

Move Silently +15% 

Hide in Shadows +10% 

Revised Uldra Race for Marth Ice World (Labyrinth Lord AEC)

I find myself tinkering on Labyrinth Lord Advanced Edition Companion races lately for my homebrewed ice world of Marth. I tweaked the gnome and halfling races, and I also added in a few uldra abilities from various AD&D sources like Dragon Magazine. I eliminated the ice dwarf, gnome, and halfling from the setting of Marth. The uldra here replace all three. 

Setting Blurb: Marth is a dying world that has been locked in a perpetual ice age after the death of most of its gods due to their avarice and the powerful kingdom slaying rituals of mere mortals. There is a shread of hope though. Recently many have had recurring dreams of the last surviving goddess Fallosnimia waking up from her deep ages long slumber. Many believe the awakening of the nature deity means that there will be warmer days ahead.

REVISED LL AEC ULDRA RACE

Requirements: DEX 8, CON 8

Ability Modifiers: +1 CON, +1 INT, -1STR

Ability Min/Max: STR 3/16, DEX 8/18, CON 8/18, INT 3/18, WIS 3/18, CHA 3/16

It is said that uldras are distant ancestors of the elves and dwarves, and share many of their idiosyncrasies. They have a wide range of appearances, and average about 3 1/2 feet tall. They tend to be very slender, averaging 80 pounds. Uldras generally dwell in hills or on mountainsides, and they often wander free over the barren tundra. Their habitations often overlap with elves, and these two races are typically very friendly, if not familial, to each other. Uldras are renowned for their ability to tame wolves and wild dogs, and most of them travel with one of these domesticated animals.

Special Abilities

*Uldras are small and may not use large and two-handed weapons, but they may use weapon and armor as indicated by class. Also their armor class rating is one better due to their size and innate knack for avoiding danger.

*Uldras are immune to cold damage, but they take 200% damage from fire. 

*Their skin is cold to the touch and all their melee attacks deal +1D6 extra cold damage. Arrows and bolts fired by them deal +1D4 extra cold damage.

*They have a 2 in 6 (1-2 on 1d6) chance of detecting dangerous or unsafe natural terrain, and finding wilderness snares and traps. Uldras must be actively searching for these abilities to function.

*They always know true North, and those who try to track them find no tracks, even in deep snow, as their feet leave no trace.

*Uldras have an uncanny ability to disappear in the frozen wilderness. In bushes or other outdoor cover (like snow), they can hide with a 90% ability.

*Uldras speak the common tongue, dwarvish, elvish, uldra, wolfen, and yeti. They can also communicate in basic fundamental ways with most natural animals.

*Optional Cantrips: If you are using cantrip spells in your game they can cast a number of them per day equal to their level.

*Note that uldras and the other races do not have darkvision.

 

Uldras receive the following saving throw bonuses:

• +2 save versus breath attacks
• +2 save versus poison
• +2 save versus petrify or paralyze
• +1 save versus wands
• +1 save versus spells or spell-like devices

Uldras are resistant to poison and paralysis and as such they receive bonuses to defend against these effects. In addition, their small size grants them a bonus to finding cover and avoiding danger.

ULDRA CLASSES AVAILABLE & LEVEL LIMITS

Uldras may select from the following classes, with the indicated level limits.

Druid Unlimited

Fighter 6

Illusionist 8

Magic-user 8

Ranger Unlimited

Thief 10

ULDRA THIEF SKILL ADJUSTMENTS

Uldra thieves receive the following bonuses and penalties to thief abilities:

Climb Walls -5%

Find and Remove Traps +7%

Move Silently +15%

Open Locks -10%

A Song of Ice and Fire House Fortunes for Birthright AD&D 2nd Edition

In the A Song of Ice and Fire RPG House Fortunes is a thing you can roll for once per month. This I think is something that could easily be added to the Birthright domain turn as another step.

To make this work add up all of your holdings and provinces and for every 10 that you control you get a +1 to the roll. Also add your Regent's character level to the roll. Aditional modifiers could apply if you possess non-weapon proficiencies that apply. I suggest only a +1 modifier per proficiency however. 

D20+lvl+mods	House Fortune	D20+lvl+mods	House Fortune
1	Disaster	17	Decline
2	Disaster	18	Blessing
3	Curse	19	Curse
4	Decline	20	Blessing
5	Disaster	21-22	Growth
6	Growth	23	Curse
7	Decline	24-25	Growth
8	Growth	26-27	Blessing
9	Curse	28	Boon
10	Decline	29	Curse
11	Growth	30-31	Blessing
12	Boon	32-34	Growth
13	Decline	35	Blessing
14	Blessing	36	Boon
15	Growth	37-41	Growth
16	Curse	42+	Boon

Boon

Choose two of the following: a beneficial alliance, a peace treaty to end a war, an arranged marriage, a free tradecroute is created, one new holding (level = 1D4), 1D8 GBs, or 2 armies.

Blessing

Choose two of the following: a peace treaty to end a war, end border crossings and conflict, one new holding (level = 1D2), 1D4 GBs, 1 army, increase an existing holding 1D2 levels.

Growth

Increase a Province by one, a holding by one level, and build something for free.

Decline

Decrease a Province by one or decrease a holding by one level.

Curse

Choose two: 1D4 armies disband, lose 1D4 GBs, holding destroyed, all of the holdings of one type decrease by 1 level.

Disaster

Choose two: An alliance is broken, plague in the land (decrease all provinces by 1), -1D6 GBs, lose a province, 1D4 holdings are destroyed, lieutenant is murdered, 1D4 roads are destroyed, all holdings of one type are decreased by one level.

Revised Elf Race for Marth Ice World (Labyrinth Lord AEC)

I find myself tinkering on Labyrinth Lord Advanced Edition Companion races today for my homebrewed ice world of Marth. I also added in a few extra special abilities from AD&D. There are several sub-species of elves on Marth, and their descriptions are down below the main LL AEC details.

Setting Blurb: Marth is a dying world that has been locked in a perpetual ice age after the death of most of its gods due to their avarice and the powerful kingdom slaying rituals of mere mortals. There is a shread of hope though. Recently many have had recurring dreams of the last surviving goddess Fallosnimia waking up from her deep ages long slumber. Many believe the awakening of the nature deity means that there will be warmer days ahead.

Revised LL AEC Elf

Ability Modifiers: See the sub-races below.

Ability Min/Max: STR 3/16, DEX 7/19, CON 6/18, INT 9/18, WIS 3/18, CHA 3/18

Elves are very talented fighters, users of magic, and they have an innate connection to the natural world. The life span of these creatures is a dozen centuries long which they often use to persue artistic pastimes.

Special Abilities

*Elves are immune to charm and sleep spells of all sorts. They also only need to sleep for 4 hours for a full night's rest.

*Because of their connection to nature, elves are immune to the paralysis ghouls can inflict.

*When employing either a bow of any sort other than a crossbow, or a short or long sword, or a scimitar, elven characters gain a bonus of +1 to attack rolls.

*Elves get a +4 save versus cold.

Note: Elves and the other races do not have darkvision.

Revised Dwarf Race for Marth Ice World (Labyrinth Lord AEC)

I find myself tinkering on Labyrinth Lord Advanced Edition Companion races today for my homebrewed ice world of Marth. I also added in a few extra special abilities from AD&D. There are several sub-species of dwarves on Marth, and their descriptions are down below the main LL AEC details.

Setting Blurb: Marth is a dying world that has been locked in a perpetual ice age after the death of most of its gods due to their avarice and the powerful kingdom slaying rituals of mere mortals. There is a shread of hope though. Recently many have had recurring dreams of the last surviving goddess Fallosnimia waking up from her deep ages long slumber. Many believe the awakening of the nature deity means that there will be warmer days ahead.

REVISED LL AEC DWARF

Requirements: CON 9

Ability Modifiers: See the sub-races below.

Ability Min/Max: STR 8/17, DEX 3/17, CON 9/19, INT 3/18, WIS 3/18, CHA 3/16

Dwarves are a particularly hardy and stubborn people. They value high quality craftsmanship, precious metals and stones, and live deep underground. Although only 4 or so feet tall, they weigh no less than 150 pounds due to their stocky muscular build.

Dwarves typically band together in clans which are not mutually exclusive or hostile but they are highly competitive. They have a reputation for having surly attitudes, and are particularly gruff with elves. Rocky hills and mountains are the favorite abode of these sturdy creatures, and their clanholds far below the surface of the world are breathtaking to behold. If they survive their toils in the mountains and the bloodlust of battle they can live to roughly 350 to 400 years old.

Special Abilities:

*Due to their short height, dwarves cannot use most two-handed weapons or longbows. However, they can use any other weapons or armor allowed by their class. 

*No matter what class they choose dwarves are proficient with all hammers, and spears.

*Due to their great hatred of goblins, giants, ogres, orcs, and trolls, all dwarves gain a bonus of +1 on their attack dice rolls to hit these opponents.

*When dwarves are in melee with giants, ogres, trolls and yetis, these monsters must deduct 4 from their dice rolls to hit their dwarven opponents due to the size and skill of the latter in combatting these large creatures.

*From their experience underground, dwarves have a 2 in 6 (1-2 on 1d6) chance of detecting traps, false walls, hidden construction, or noticing if passages are sloped. Dwarves must be actively searching for these abilities to function. 

*In addition to languages known based on the character's intelligence, a dwarf character will also speak: the common tongue, dwarf, elven, goblin, neanderthal, orc, and uldra.

P.S. Note that dwarves and the other races do not have darkvision.

Dwarves receive the following saving throw bonuses:
• +2 save versus breath attacks
• +4 save versus poison
• +4 save versus petrify or paralyze
• +3 save versus wands
• +4 save versus spells or spell-like devices 

Dwarves are hardy beings, resistant to magic and poison, and as such they receive bonuses to defend against these effects. In addition, their small size grants them a bonus to finding cover and avoiding breath attacks.

DWARF CLASSES AVAILABLE & LEVEL LIMITS

Dwarves may select from the following classes, with the indicated level limits.

Assassin: 9 (Unlimited for Gray Dwarves)

Druid: 7 (Unlimited for Fire Dwarves)

Fighter: 10

Paladin (Knight): 8

Ranger: 9 (Level 12 for Fire Dwarves)

Thief: Unlimited

Note: the Druid replaces the Cleric in the setting of Marth.

DWARF THIEF SKILL ADJUSTMENTS

Dwarven thieves receive the following bonuses and penalties to thief abilities:

Pick Locks +7% 

Find and Remove Traps +10%

Climb Walls -10%

DWARF SUB-RACES

The following abilities are in addition to the information above, or modify the above abilities.

Fire Dwarf

Ability Modifiers: CON +1, WIS -1

*Firestarter: All melee attacks with metal weapons deal +1D6 extra fire damage. Wooden weapons will be destroyed by fire after one use by them. Their skin is also warm to the touch, and they can raise the temperature in confined sealed spaces as a small fire would.

*Soul Forge: Any spell that is cast by a fire dwarf that deals fire damage is treated as if it were cast by a magic-user one level higher.

Gray Dwarf

Ability Modifiers: CON +1, CHA -1

*Iron Bones: All their damage rolls deal +2 extra damage.

*One with the Stone Father: They can hide with a 90% chance if they stand completely motionless next to any type of rock or stone of roughly the same size as the character. This ability works even if they are in plain sight. They can also walk though a number of feet of stone equal to their character level. Example: a 6th level gray dwarf can walk though 6 feet of stone.

Sub-race	Height	Weight	Eyes	Hair	Skin
Fire	4'6"	180	Solid Black	Red	Light Brown
Gray	4'0"	150	Solid Gray	Black (Balding)	Pale Gray

*The Ice Dwarves have completely died out. It is unknown what killed them, but other... beings have taken over their silent halls.

D66 Critical Hit Damage Table

This was designed for D20 type games. I bet it would work well in a sci-fi game where energy weapons such as blasters and laser swords are present. Powerful artifact / magic weapons might use it as well.

It might be good to only use this when players roll a critical hit. Perhaps a nasty Big Bad antagonist could use them as well. It's REALLY deadly if you roll doubles...

To roll a D66 it is best to use two different color dice (2D6) and designate which is the 10s column and which is the 1s column. For example if you had a Red die for the 10s and a Blue dice for the 1s and you rolled Red 5, Blue 6, then the result would be 56.

Note: I created this in a blurry haze of sleep deprivation and "tired tears." Yawwwnnn.

D66 Critical Hits Table

11. x9 Damage

12. Regular Damage +2

13. Maximum Damage

14. x2 Damage

15. x3 Damage

16. x4 Damage

21. Regular Damage +1D6

22. x7 Damage

23. Maximum Damage

24. x2 Damage

25. x3 Damage

26. x4 Damage

31. Regular Damage +1D6

32. Regular Damage +2

33. x5 Damage

34. x2 Damage

35. x3 Damage

36. x4 Damage

41. Regular Damage +1D6

42. Regular Damage +2

43. Maximum Damage

44. x6 Damage

45. x3 Damage

46. x4 Damage

51. Regular Damage +1D6

52. Regular Damage +2

53. Maximum Damage

54. x2 Damage

55. x8 Damage

56. x4 Damage

61. Regular Damage +1D6

62. Regular Damage +2

63. Maximum Damage

64. x2 Damage

65. x3 Damage

66. x10 Damage

Optional Rule I: in addition to the regular damage sustained above, the target of the critical hit also bleeds an amount of damage equal to the 1s column. For example, a roll of 64 would mean they are bleeding 4 hit points per round until the wound is tended to, wrapped in a bandage, or magically healed.

Optional Rule II: in addition to the regular damage sustained above, the target of the critical hit also has to deal with another complication based on the 10s column.

1. Target is knocked Unconscious no matter how many hit points they have remaining.

2. Target falls flat on their back. They are Prone, but they can make attacks or defend themselves with a penalty.

3. Target must make a Saving Throw / Dexterity Stat Check / etc. or they break a bone of the DM/GM's choosing.

4. One piece of armor/clothing, an item, a shield, or weapon is utterly destroyed.

5. Target falls flat on their face. They are prone, and cannot attack or perform any actions other than composing themselves and standing up (if they are able to). This might be a round of Stun in your system of choice.

6. Target must make a Saving Throw / Constitution Stat Check / etc. or die.

A Song of Ice and Fire Historical Events for Birthright AD&D 2nd Edition

The Historical Events table from the ASoIaF RPG can be folded into the Birthright Random Events table, or be another step in the turn. It could be a way to randomly increase/decrease holdings & provinces every so often. I'm going to try to translate that table into AD&D 2nd Edition Birthright lingo below.

Call it a Destiny / Winds of Chaos / Winds of Fate sort of thing perhaps. Maybe it would only once a year (at the end of every 4th Turn).

Birthright Revised Solitaire Random Tables (AD&D 2nd Edition)

Update: Last edit on Dec 6th, 2021. Major overhaul of Random Events Table.

After playing around for some full turns in my solo Birthright AD&D campaign, and starting a PBP game with a few online friends I wanted to modify the tables I posted earlier to try to figure out what surrounding Regents and their Kingdoms do for each turn. In my solo game too I handwaved a lot, and I want to be a little more exact and specific with other players.

D100 REVISED RANDOM EVENTS TABLE

Birthright Solo RPG Campaign AD&D 2nd Edition (Turns 1-4)

Hello. Here are some write ups from my Birthright solo campaign. Enjoy.

I just started a solo campaign in the AD&D 2nd edition Birthright RPG setting. I'm ruling the Dwarven kingdom of Baruk-Azhik. I'm used to the video game and this is my first time actually using my physical books/box sets.

I feel like I'm getting a few things wrong, but I'm sure as I go along I'll get better at it.

After Turn 1, a mysterious meteor with a new metal was recovered, many roads were built, an alliance with Coeranys to the West was sealed, and the Dwarves have gone to war with the Elves of The Sielwode and taken 3 territories from them.

Fun!

Turn 2

I didn't spend a lot of Regency the first turn so I burnt a whole lot this turn.

**Random Event**

A major landslide happened in Rivenrock, but we shored it up with support walls and newly planted tree saplings.

I've set the taxes low for the newly acquired Sielwode provinces to try to sway their loyalty.

It's going to take time to create and increase holdings there. I plan on doing more of that after the war with the Elves ends.

**Free Actions**

I built more roads, and mustered more troops.

I used the Investiture option to fully take over 4 foreign guilds on Baruk-Azhik soil but that really chewed through a lot of Regency. The Points East Trading Guild has been wiped out.

**Domain Actions**

Action #1  

I casted Blight on a province of Sielwode to erode support for their Regent.

Sielwode attacked but their armies were destroyed. Kiergard attacked as well but with heavy losses the Dwarves prevailed.

Action #2  

We created a law holding in one of the Sielwood provinces.

Sielwode summoned a Legion of the Dead and hurled them at the Dwarves. We suffered more heavy losses but the Dwarves were victorious.

Action #3  

Declared war on Sielwode and took over 2 more provinces. Only one Dwarf army was slain as the Elves were overwhelmed.

Chimaeron and Coeranys keep messing with each other. This time Chimaeron took a Law holding.

Kiergard created a magical device that emulates a magical Source.

Turn 3

**Random Event**

New Resource Discovered (Diamond Mine).

**Taxation**

I increased taxes in the Sielwode provinces to pay for the increased costs of new troops. The Elf Wars have been deadly. The fields of carnage have drank deeply of Dwarven blood.

The extra income from some more holdings was a nice little bonus this turn. I decided that the Elves mostly invested in Magical Sources and that their land is raw and mostly wild. The Birthright book doesn't describe what holdings Sielwode has.  

**Free Actions**

Most of the actions were mustering armies and moving troops to the front.

My son helps me play from time to time so he is using Diirk Watershold, the Spymaster of the guilds of the Dwarf kingdom. He wanted to take control of some more guild holdings so we wiped out the Maesil Shippers who had 3 guilds in Dwarf territory. He was also granted a title due to his loyalty to the realm.

We also improvised and made up a Transfer Funds action to give our ally Coeranys 10 gold bars.

We finished up by building more roads along with a statue commemorating the defeat of the Elves and their Undead minions (they cast a Realm spell in the last turn).

Our funds got dangerously low (6GB) due to heavy mustering of troops. They were needed though.

**Domain Actions & Neighboring Kingdoms**

Action #1  

Declared War on Sielwode and after some tough battles we utterly destroyed the Elves and laid siege to their capital city (which I assumed had a fortified castle). Luckily the dead require no maintenance costs... Eek.

At this point I think I need to make up a spreadsheet or just a fancy DIY graph paper sheet to keep track of all of the improvements and tax levels in each province.

Kiergard spied on us.

Chimaeron agitated.

Coeranys fortified along their border with Chimaeron.

My son was so excited that we took over the whole forest.  

Action #2  

Create Law Holding in one of the Sielwode provinces. It's a nice Law vs. Chaos thing going on. The Dwarves are bringing some order to these Northern wilds... :D

Sielwode attacked from their fortified castle in their capital city but they were not able to break the siege.

Mur-Kilad (new neighboring kingdom) spied on us.

Coeranys declared war on Chimaeron. They were defeated however.

Kiergard declared war on us and captured one of the Sielwode provinces! Curses!  

Action #3

We declared war on Kiergard and recaptured the Sielwode province that was stolen. This is beginning to feel like a land war in Asia. :D

Mur-Kilad fortified.

Coeranys ruled and improved a province.

Chimaeron declared war on Coeranys and they took 2 provinces!

Sielwode attempted to break the siege but failed.

Turn #4

**Random Event:** Matter of Justice  

The tired road crews demand some time off due to the extensive amount of roads they have been building.

**Regency.** I really need to increase my Regency by one point in one of the future turns. 24+38= 62 Regency Points

**Taxation.** I was taxing the Elven provinces before I used Investiture by mistake. I'll fix that this turn. 63 Gold Bars total.

**Domain Maintenance:** -5GB  

Armies: -20GB  

Court: -6GB

**Free Actions**  

1. Decree to give the road crews time off. No new roads this Turn.

2-10. Investitures to lay claim to the Sielwode provinces as my own. Burned a lot of Regency to make that possible... Since I'm a Cleric these are Free Actions.

11. Finance. Extra wealth from the Mines. +12 GB

12. Raise Diirk Watershold (Thief & Guildmaster) to a Lieutenant.

13. Muster Armies: +4 Light Dwarven Cavalry (Mountain Goats).

14. Muster Armies: +4 Heavy Dwarven Cavalry (Rams).

15. Move Troops to the borders.

**Domain Actions**  

I started the long process of Creating Law Holdings in Sielwode (3 of them). I'll have to use the Rule action later to increase them in level.

Lieutenant Domain Action (Diirk): Create Guild Holding in a Sielwode province. It's nice to get an extra Domain Action each turn.

**Neighboring Kingdoms**  

Coeranys uses Investiture twice on Holdings of Chimaeron and succeeds once. The regent went on an Adventure as well.

Chimaeron Ruled and increased a Magical Source, cast Demagogue as a Realm Spell, and Declated War on Coeranys. They took a province from them. As Coeranys' ally I really need to head south and take out the Chimera...

Elinie (new neighbor) made a few Decrees and went on an Adventure.

Markazor (new neighbor) Declared War but was repelled from our lands. Looks like I'll need to keep a few more troops on the Northern borders.

Mur-Kilad Ruled, Declared War on Kiergard and expanded its Dwarven borders and Agitated in Kiergard.

Kiergard Created a Temple, Fortified along its border, and Declared War on Mur-Kilad but failed to repel the Dwarves.

Happy Holidays 2020 RPG Card

This one is a bit easier to read on a device... :D

20. Voices of the Mind (Message)

Arachnid Sacrifice (Spider Climb)

Magic-User Level 1 

Duration: 1 Round +1 Round/level 

Range: Touch 

Optional Requirement: Devour a living spider.

The subject can climb and travel on vertical surfaces or even traverse ceilings as a spider does. The affected creature must have its hands and feet free to climb in this manner. Any objects weighing less than 5 pounds cling to the spell recipient’s hands and feet. This spell can be used on another being (touch required) with no saving throw.

Arcane Vivisection (Magic Missile) 

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: Instantaneous

Range: 60'+10'/level

Optional Requirement: Hold a dagger in your off-hand that has killed a living creature.

A blade of magical energy shoots forth from the caster’s fingertip and wickedly slashes the flesh of its victim, dealing damage equal to 1d4 per level of the caster (so a second level Magic-User deals 2d4 points of damage). The sharp blade strikes unerringly, even if the target is in mêlée combat or has less than total cover or total concealment. Specific parts of a creature cannot be singled out.

The caster can throw the full force of the blade at a single target, but if the caster is 2nd level or higher, he can choose to divide the dice of damage between targets as he wishes (creating multiple blades). Dice must be assigned to targets before any damage is rolled, and targets of these divided dice are allowed a saving throw versus Magic, with success meaning that the target takes half damage. Each Magic-User’s magical blade is unique in appearance and always looks the same.

Bind with Corpse Hair (Mending)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: Instantaneous

Range: 60'

Optional Requirement: Caster must be wearing a necklace or bracelet made from corpse hair. 

This spell repairs small breaks or tears in objects by summoning corpse hair from the nearest cemetery. It will "fix" broken metallic objects such as a ring, a chain link, a medallion, or a slender dagger, providing but one break exists. Ceramic or wooden objects with multiple breaks can be rejoined to be almost as strong as new. A hole in a leather sack or a wine-skin is completely filled with corpse hair. The spell cannot repair magic items, nor does it affect creatures.

Breath of a Slain God (Light)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: 3 Turns/caster level

Range: 0

Optional Requirement: Hold a stolen relic or object from a church or temple.

This spell illuminates the breath of the caster and creates a light source equivalent to that of a torch. The caster has no control over the light, but can end the spell if he so wishes. If cast on a person who does not wish to be the target of the spell, that person is allowed a saving throw versus Magic; success means that the spell fizzles.

The light caused by the spell emits no heat, nor can it be extinguished by water or high winds.

The reverse of this spell causes the breath of the caster to emit magical darkness; even creatures able to see in the dark are blind near the caster.

CARESS OF CHAOS (DETECT MAGIC)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: Instantaneous

Range: 30' radius

Optional Requirement: Drawing a magic circle in chalk and spilling blood upon it.

This spell allows the caster to feel if anything within a 30' radius (or on his person) is in any way magical. Their skin crawls, tingles, or feels like some being from beyond the confines of the world is running their finger across their skin. They have a rough guess as to where the sources of these magical emanations are coming from to a 5' square area. This includes magical creatures, magical items, or any creature or object under the effect of an ongoing spell. Spellcasters such as Magic-Users and Elves do not detect as magic with this spell, but anyone that is under the effects of an active spell does. The spell does not identify the nature of the magic, only that magic is present.

COAGULATED WINGS (FEATHER FALL)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: See Below

Range: 10' / level

Optional Requirement: Caster has to bite his own tongue and then spit blood in the air above them.

The affected creatures grow magical wings made from crusty blood and fall slowly. This spell instantly changes the rate at which the targets fall to about 5' per Round, and the subjects take no damage upon landing while the spell is in effect. The spell ends in 1 day or when the caster reaches somewhere to land whichever cones first. 

The spell can affect one or more creatures, including gear and carried objects up to each creature’s maximum encumbrance. The maximum weight of 200 pounds + 200 pounds per level can be affected, such that a 1st level Magic-User can affect 400 pounds. 

The spell can be cast to save the caster or another creature if he unexpectedly falls, but Initiative, if appropriate, must be on the side of the caster. The spell can be cast on creatures but is ineffective against creatures firmly on the ground or flying. No saving throw is permitted.

Directed Hallucination (Magic Aura)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: Permanent

Range: Touch

Optional Requirement: Hold a part of a magical creature in your hand.

This spell weaves false strands of Chaos around an object, giving the item an aura that causes it to register as a magical item to Detect spells (and spells with similar capabilities). If the object bearing this enchantment is physically examined (touched), the examiner recognizes that the aura is false if he succeeds in a saving throw versus Magic. Otherwise, he believes the aura, but no amount of testing reveals what the true magic is.

The reverse of this spell, cast on a legitimate magical item, bends mundane reality around the object, hiding its true magical nature. A Magic-User casting Detect Magic spells and actually handling the item is permitted a saving throw versus Magic to see the magical aura of the item.

*Dispromulgate the Orderly Mind (*Read Magic)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: Instantaneous

Range: 0

Optional Requirement: Walk without rhythm in a circle.

By means of this spell, the caster can decipher magical inscriptions on objects—books, scrolls, weapons, and the like—that would otherwise be unintelligible. This does not normally invoke the magic contained in the writing, although it can do so in the case of a cursed scroll. Furthermore, once the spell is cast and the caster has read the magical inscription, he thereafter is able to read that particular writing without needing to cast this spell again. All spellbooks are written such that only the Elf or Magic-User who owns the book can decipher it without the use of this spell. Each casting of the spell allows the reading of 1d4 items.

If a character loses access to this spell (a spellbook is stolen or destroyed, for instance), the character must research the spell as if it was unknown to him and then written up in a new spellbook.

 

DEVOURING THE WALLS OF SELF (CHARM PERSON)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: See Below

Range: 120'

Optional Requirement: Devouring a few strands of hair, drinking blood, or eating flesh of the spell's target. When the spell ends the caster will vomit out what was ingested.

This spell makes a single subject utterly enamored with the caster and desperate to
please him if the saving throw versus Magic is failed. This is not mind control, as the subject retains his personality and controls how he acts but for his utter fascination with the caster. The caster must articulate his desires if he expects the subject to fulfill them. 

Any request which is not against the subject’s interests or personality will be followed. Any request which is against the subject’s interests or personality triggers a saving throw to refuse the request. If the saving throw is successful, the request will be refused, but this will not break the spell. If as part of a request, the caster promises the subject something that the subject is normally inclined to want, then this saving throw is not necessary, and the subject will comply.

This spell works on all humans and human-like creatures (except Elves); other (non player character class) humanoids are not affected if they have more than four Hit Dice. Abuse or neglect of the subject will trigger another saving throw to negate the Charm, and murderous violence towards the subject also triggers a save, but with a +5 bonus to the roll. The subject, if intelligent, will realize that he has been victim to mesmerism, and retain full memory of his actions while under the spell after the spell ends.

 

DRINK KNOWLEDGE FROM THE DAMNED (IDENTIFY)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: Instantaneous

Range: Touch

Optional Requirement: Drinking an alcoholic herbal mixture from a skull dug up from a cemetery.

This spell allows the Magic-User to discern the magical properties of an item. The spell requires one uninterrupted day meditating in a cemetery to cast. At the end of the day, the Magic-User will have successfully determined one magical property of an item. The character will not know if there are additional properties unless he casts Identify again and another magical property of the item is determined. He will only know all of the magical properties of an item when he casts the spell and no new property is identified; both the “wasted” day and the “wasted” casting of Identify confirming that the item has no further properties. Note that a cursed item will not be identified as cursed, but as the item it pretends to be. This spell does not reveal command words.

 

EMACIATED FLOATING CORPSE (FLOATING DISK)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: 6 Turns

Range: 20'

Optional Requirement: A bone from a cemetery grave that needs to be broken/destroyed.

The caster summons the decrepit body of a corpse that has died within a number of years equal to the caster's level. The corpse floats and follows the magic-user about and carries a heavy load for him. The corpse can lie flat or use its limbs to hold things. It can hold 500 pounds. The corpse floats approximately 3 feet above the ground at all times. It floats along within spell range and will accompany the caster with an equal movement rate. If not otherwise directed, it maintains a constant interval of 6' between itself and the caster, and will follow the caster without prompting to maintain a minimum of 6' distance. When the corpse winks out at the end of the spell’s duration, whatever it was supporting or holding falls to the surface beneath it. 

GUTTURAL EAR WORMS* (COMPREHEND LANGUAGES*)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: 1 Turn/level

Range: 0

Optional Requirement: Devour a regular earth worm covered in blood.

The caster can understand the spoken words of creatures or read otherwise incomprehensible written messages by summoning extraplanar worms directly into his ear canals to translate for him. The creature or the writing must be touched by the caster before the worms can deliver any translation. The ability to read does not necessarily impart insight into the material, merely its literal meaning. The spell enables the caster to understand or read an unknown language, not write it. It is up to the referee if the player character can repeat the words uttered in his ear correctly or not.

Rupture Guttural Ear Worms, the opposite of this spell, dispels the effects of Guttural Ear Worms, or can be used to make spoken or written language incomprehensible. 

 

INFERNAL HANDS (HOLD PORTAL)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: 2d6 Turns

Range: 10'

Optional Requirement: Break a finger on a recently severed hand.

This spell summons extraplanar hands from some Hellish plane of existence to magically hold shut a door, gate, window, or shutter of wood, metal, or stone. The hands affect the portal just as if it were securely closed and normally locked. A Knock spell or a successful Dispel Magic spell can negate this spell.

Restless Spirit Servant (Unseen Servant)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: 6 Turns +1 Turn/level

Range: 0

Optional Requirement: Call upon the full name of a person whom you have killed.

An Restless Spirit Servant is an invisible, mindless, shapeless spectral entity that performs simple tasks at the caster’s command. It can run and fetch things, open unstuck doors, and hold chairs, as well as clean and mend. It can open only normal doors, drawers, lids, and the like. It can lift 20 pounds or drag 40 pounds. The Servant cannot attack in any way, and it cannot be killed a second time.

SCREAMING LIBRIS (BOOKSPEAK)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: 1 Round/level

Range: Touch

Optional Requirement: Drip blood on the book's cover.

When the subject of this spell touches a book, it violently animates, forming a quivering mouth around the edge where the paper shows. The subject can ask the book one question per Round, and if the information is contained within the book, it will answer by screaming the words in a guttural voice. If anyone else approaches or asks questions the book instead growls, snaps, and will attack them for one Round. It has a +2 bonus to bite and deals 1D4 damage. Intelligent books can save to resist the spell (as a Magic-User of a level equal to the author). Magical books do not impart their effect when they answer and if they attack they deal 1D6 damage. The spell is a shortcut to actually reading a book, and it will not give more information than a careful reading would. 

Shatter the Seals of Order (Summon)

(Use the Summon LotFP spell with no changes).

Spirit Scapegoat (Shield)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: 2 Turns

Range: 0

Optional Requirement: Call upon a name of someone you know has died or who is likely being eternally punished.

Magic-Users summon shades from a tormented underworld which will protect the caster from many attacks which would otherwise harm him. Against missile attacks, the spell grants the caster AC19, and an effective AC17 for all other attacks. Even if an attack hits, it does one less point of damage than it otherwise would have. This spell completely blocks the effects of Arcane Vivisection (Magic Missile). Once the spell ends the shade is completely destroyed, never to return to its torment below.

TORN FLESH & EXPANDED BONE (ENLARGE)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: 1 Turn/level

Range: 5'/level

Optional Requirement: The caster gargles a cup of blood.

The forces of magic do not recognize the relationships of size and distance between things; it is the limitations of the mind’s ability to master magic that results in strictures such as “spell range,” but sometimes the infinite nature of magic can be applied to material objects. This spell causes instant painful (1D4 damage) growth (and corresponding increase in weight and damage done) of a single object or creature that is in visible range. This increase changes a creature’s size by 20% per caster level, up to three times the original size of the creature. The effectiveness of this spell is half of this on non-living objects, which are only enlarged 10% per level and to a maximum of double the original size of the object. The caster can affect a 10' cube of living matter per level.

Magical item properties are not affected by this spell. For instance, a wand will have the same function even though it is increased to the size of a staff, and potion dosages are not increased, though they may take longer to drink. A person enlarged will have a strength appropriate to his size (as an ogre or a giant, for example) with corresponding strength adjustments.

The damage done by an enlarged character during mêlée is increased by the same percentage as his size.

The reverse of this spell, can creatures in size by the same proportions as Enlarge. These spells cancel each other out. For either version of the spell a saving throw versus Magic is allowed to negate the effect. This save can be forfeited if the recipient desires. This reversed version also deals 1D4 damage to the target.

Unconscious Nightmares (Sleep)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: d4 Turns

Range: 30' + 10'/level

Optional Requirement: By casting this spell you doom yourself to experiencing fragments of the same nightmares the targets of this spell had.

This spell causes a deep magical slumber to come upon creatures with 4+1 or fewer Hit Dice. The caster can only affect 1 creature if it has 4+1 or more Hit Dice, but the spell will otherwise affect creatures totaling no more than 2d8 Hit Dice. Calculate monsters with less than 1 Hit Die as having 1 Hit Die, and monsters with a bonus to their Hit Dice as having the flat amount. For example, a 3+2 Hit Die monster would be calculated as having 3 Hit Dice. Excess Hit Dice that are not sufficient to affect a creature are wasted. Creatures with the fewest Hit Dice are affected first. The creatures affected by this spell will wander through Hellish dreamscapes, reliving their worst fears. Slapping or wounding awakens an affected creature, but normal noise does not. Sleep does not affect undead, constructs, or other magical or unnatural creatures (such as Elves).

 

UNDULATING CORPUSANT SKIN (FAERIE FIRE)  

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: 2 Rounds/level

Range: 80'

Optional Requirement: A fistful of dust collected from a shrine to St. Elmo (or similar saint/deity) must be tossed in the air.

A pale electric glow begins to be emitted by the target's skin, making them hypervisible. This shed light makes them visible in darkness at a distance of 80', or half this if the creatures are near a light source. The Magic-User can affect creatures within a 40' radius, and may affect up to one human-sized creature per caster level. The spell's light can be any color according to the Magic-User’s choice at the time of casting. The electric glow does not cause any harm to the objects or creatures thus outlined, but it is similar to the effects of static electricity. However, their greater visibility grants attackers a +2 bonus to hit them while the spell is in effect.

Voices of the Mind (Message)

Magic-User Level 1

Duration: Instantaneous

Range: 60'+10'/level

Optional Requirement: You will hear echoes of unintelligible voices for 1 turn after this spell is cast.

This spell grants the caster the ability to whisper messages and receive whispered replies. The caster points his finger at a creature he wants to receive the message. The target must be in direct line of sight, with no barrier. The whispered message is audible only to the target. The creature that receives the message can whisper a reply that the caster can hear. The spell transmits sound, not meaning. It does not transcend language barriers. Unlike casting most spells, the gestures of this spell are subtle, and it is easy to conceal that the spell is being cast.

The Wayward Scrounger / Gutter Cook: a LotFP Class

THESE INDUSTRIOUS FOLK CAN FIND FOOD IN THE STRANGEST OF PLACES. Even in the depths of the earth, buried in a refuse pile, behind an old grave, or under a corpse... Wayward scroungers or "gutter cooks" have a knack of finding edible food that others would never eat. They know ancient techniques on how to prepare such normally disgusting food in ways that won't make their compatriots vomit violently. It might not taste like the soup at the local inn but it will keep the characters alive to see another day. They might WANT to die after eating these prepared meals however... 

These vagabonds rarely stay in any one place for long. Their wanderlust serves them well as adventurers for hire. They tend to take assignments that will introduce them to new places and bygone backwater towns few have ever heard of. They often collect new recipes and cooking techniques from new cultures in recipe books.

With the use of ancient lore passed down from parent to child gutter cooks have tricked herbs to grow right on their own skin in small patches. They begin play with 1D4 herb patches on their skin from the random table below. Each patch has 1D6 doses of herb that regrow in one week once harvested. They can grow one additional patch on their skin at each new character level (roll randomly for the type of herb that grows in the new patch).

Those who eat food that a Gutter Cook prepares have a +2 bonus to any saving throw rolled that day vs. anything they eat. The food they prepare is treated as if a Purify Food & Drink spell was cast on it. These improvisational cooks can also deal +1 extra damage per character level to all forms of fungi and plants with a successful attack. They get +1 to all dice rolls (attack, damage, etc.) when they are hunting or gathering/scrounging for food.

Wayward scroungers are at home in natural areas and start with a 2 in 6 chance to use Bushcraft. They can track creatures in the wilderness with a base 5 in 6 chance and in dungeon environments with a 3 in 6 chance. This chance is reduced by 1 for each day that has passed since the creature left its mark there. It is also reduced by one for each hour of rain since the creature passed that way in wilderness areas. Obvious trails left by bleeding creatures, herds of animals, or large groups of people should automatically be successful.

1D20 Roll	Herbs
1	Verusktorild / She of the Crimson Eye – When you grind the stem into a powder it can be blown into the eyes of your target to daze and partially blind them for 1D2 rounds.
2	Lorenbannysy / Bloodroot Broth – If you mix a few drops of blood into the crushed roots of this plant it will produce heat for 1D6 hours equal to that of smoldering coals.
3	Enisghatora / Purple Limb – The leaves of this plant when chewed to a pulp are toxic. If this substance is smeared onto a blade and enters through a wound the area near the wound will swell drastically causing intense pain and then the affected flesh will turn a dark purple.
4	Serechtonalde / Garland's Berry – A creature that eats the fruit of this plant will not take any violent action unless they are attacked.
5	Ormagetasechight / Vurnon's Cauldron – If you mix the buds of this plant with sand it will produce a noxious substance that reeks horribly for 1D6 days.
6	Agetontiaundler / Spit of the Widow – Chewing and spitting the leaves of this plant in to the face of a dying thing will keep them from crossing over to the other side into death until natural or magical healing can be used on them.
7	Deltherdentonem / Pangs of the Dog – If you dehydrate the flower petals of this plant they can be ingested to get rid of hunger for 1D12 hours. If used for a week however the creature or person will no longer be able to digest food correctly and will start to die no matter how much food is ingested.
8	Rynhonbanunty / Milk of the Infant – Sucking out the milk from the stem and drinking it provides energy for staying awake for 1D4 days. After its effects wear off the person that drank it will fall into a deep coma that lasts 1D2 days.
9	Yerestenthkinon / Girnin's Giggling Root – Eating the roots of this plant will heal injuries (1D4 hit points plus 1 point of any stat damage). A side-effect of this herb is that the creature or person that ate it will giggle uncontrollably for 1D6 minutes.
10	Dynuskuntinga / He of the Still Form – If you grind the flower petals of this plant and mix it in a drink it will paralyze the person that drinks it for 1D6 minutes.
11	Undildgarserage / Eyes of the Sleeper – Someone that is in a deep slumber (natural or magical) that smells this pungent fruit will instantly awaken.
12	Ansayarhat / Cold's Demise – When the entire plant is sprinkled with the ground up leaves of the Yerestenthkinon plant (see above) it will produce a short-lived fire. The fumes are said to be beneficial for getting over minor sicknesses too.
13	Serackuskhon / Marlae's Bruise – A wrap made out of the entire plant will heal 1D10 hit points worth of damage that were caused by blunt weapons.
14	Achesselmaro / Bug Wall - If you lie these plants on the ground end to end around a campsite or around a dwelling all insects will not cross it.  It can also be used as a way to scare of larger more violent insects from attacking you, or to bind insectoid demons in a circle.
15	Tonelminaorusk / Bindings of the Martyr – Bleeding can be stopped by cutting a section of this plants' leaf and placing it over a wound caused by a slashing weapon (treat as a binded wound). If the patient engages in any fighting or athletic maneuvers before the injury is healed the wound will tear open again.
16	Bangharakiaril / Death of the Leech – If the juice of this plants' berries is slightly heated and imbibed it will reduce fevers and kill any parasites in or on the patient.
17	Nalechingnygar / Savage Mask – By tying all of the long tubers from one of these plants into your hair you can gain the trust of one animal. It is up to the referee's discretion as to what that animal does for you, or if they become a temporary ally.
18	Seringildageia / Orange Dream – If you place and hold the buds of this plant in your mouth you can spit out an orange substance. This substance produces hallucinogenic dreams if it is drizzled into someone's eyes.
19	Emechpolon / Hollistor's Pollen – If the pollen is painstakingly collected it can be sniffed to give the inhaler a burst of speed and an increase in movement (double movement for 1D6 rounds).
20	Issangeldir / Amalthea's Lizard Skin – If the entire large plant is ingested (roughly the same as a large meal) the creature or person that ate it will have their skin toughen much like scales or natural armor (+1 AC for 1D2 days).
