    Due to the somewhat erratic nature of the bitch their alignment tends to change. A bitch may

    only change one aspect of her alignment at any time. To do so she must either be confronted with a

    practical situation with a multitude of logical or obvious conclusions (such as what to wear tonight)

    or fail successive wisdom, vanity and constitution tests. Attempting to use a bitch skill may also

    cause the bitch to change alignment, especially if the test fails. True bitches tend to obey the

    following alignment philosophies.

    Alignment Philosophy

    Lawful That would be your law...

    Chaotic I am so stable

    Neutral Like, yeah, who cares...

    Good Im not evil, Im just good looking

    Evil When Im bad, Im damn good

    In addition to the alignment change the bitch will under go a mood swing according to the

    following table.

    Roll Moods & Attitudes

    1 Happy, cheerful, optimistic, helpful, friendly

    2 Self-pity/ self-loathing, unhelpful, brooding

    3 Pissed off, vengeful, cruel

    4 Depressed, sullen, feeling inadequate

    5 No Change

    6 Independent, jealous and Proud

    7 Impatient, Condescending

    8 Lustful, self centred9 Centre of Attention, overbearing

    10 No Change

    At each mood swing there is a percent chance (equal to her Vanity value) that a Bitch will

    loose a percentage of her personal funds (or party funds, whatever).

    Bitches start off with 2 initial weapon Proficiencies and 4 non-weapon Proficiencies. They

    receive another weapon prof. every 4 levels and additional non-weapon prof. every 3 levels. Their

    penalty for employing weapons they are not proficient in is -4. Bitches may choose non-weapon

    Proficiencies from all Groups except the Fighter Group. Bitches can wear leather armour (or nice

    shinny metal armour), but carry a hand mirror instead of a shield. The weapons that may be used

    by this class are: staff, whip, stiletto, throwing knife, sling, lasso, cat-o-nine tails and a handbag.They have a bonus non-weapon proficiency in Reading/ Writing and one other in haggling,

    information gathering or an artistic skill (not an instrument).

    Bitches attack on the thief table, and save as thieves with the exception of paralysation,

    poison, death magic and breath weapon, where they save as clerics of equal level. Spell books are

    replaced by diaries, which are recognisable by the floral cover and a small lock. The key to which is

    almost always worn around the bitchs neck. The diary is kept in a different location every week.

    Bitches typically use their diary to store gossip, spells and other important information which

    would be regarded as irrelevant to any other class.

    Bitch Skill Descriptions.Due to their covert, dark, self centred dealings, Bitches have modified have developed several

    Thieving Skills. They have the below base scores, adjusted for Race and Vanity and gain anadditional number of points equal to their Vanity value to allocate to these scores (with no more

    than 7 going to any one score per level) per level. No score, with the exception of read languages, can

    ever be increased to above 80%

    Move Through Crowds: Bitches are able to move there way through a throng with the grace,

    dignity and poise of an elf on heat.

    Hide/ Find Diary: Every Bitch needs a diary, a bitch may not advance levels without their diary

    and as such rivals diaries are highly prized items. A bitch usually alternates between hiding her

    diary on herself and with her belongings. One successful test will reveal the location of the diary. A

    second test usually a body search or a looting spree with reveal the rivals diary.

    Detect Bitch: This enables a Bitch to detect another bitch within a radius of 10m per vanity Point.

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    7/53

    Read Between the Lines: This skill enables a bitch to read the body language and vocal inflections of

    an enemy, to determine their true motives, and possible course of action. This skill may only be

    used once on an enemy per day.

    Spread Gossip: One successful test to extract a scandalous rumour about an enemy andanother to pass it to three other characters per Bitch level. One further test may be used to

    successfully twist the rumour further from the truth.

    Bitches cast spells as Mages from their diary, although in a time of need they may cold

    cast by calling to their deity Saint Yves Lauren, although most bitches are two vain to admit to

    worshiping a being other than themselves. In fact a true bitch will never admit to the existence of

    any being greater than themselves. Bitches gain a +4 bonus when casting against an enemy. Each

    morning a bitch will invoke Saint Yves Lauren by grooming herself in front of a mirror (a sacred

    circle is not necessary) and will memorise her spells for the day as she fards up. During the day she

    may call upon the Saint to cast additional spells. She has a percentage chance of half her Vanity perlevel that her call will be heard and answered with the appropriate spell. Spells may not be cold cast

    nor memorised without the diary.

    A bitchs worst enemy, is of course any other bitch, whom she gains a bonus to cast against.

    However most bitches by third level have a hated name. Any character who refers to a bitch by that

    name, also faces the consequences of the bitch focussing additional mental energy at them during

    spell casting. Typical hated names are Doll, Darlin, Darl, Lovey, Sweetie, Sugar Pop. At 20th level

    any term of endearment will infuriate the bitch. During combat, or any other time a bitch will single

    handedly engage any other bitch (after Detect Bitch has been used), before despatching of any other

    enemy (hated name), and only then will attack any other character. Note that Move ThroughCrowds, Hide/ Find Diary, Detect Bitch, Read Between the Lines, Spread Gossip may not be used

    during combat.

    When two bitches confront or detect each other they will attempt to establish control over

    each other. If there is two or more levels between them the lesser will concede defeat before combat

    arises. However, combat may ensue, usually beginning with a preen off, followed by a name calling

    session. Physical combat includes bitch slapping, biting, hair pulling. The victor is entitled to lord

    over her victim by teasing for the rest of their lives, or until revenge is exacted. Bitches will not

    tolerate another bitch in their vicinity. Bitches will never travel or adventure together.

    8/53

    Bitch Level Descriptions

    First Level

    Every bitch, even an Innocent must have a diary. Each bitch begins adventuring with a diary

    in which to record scandalous gossip, spells and other miscellaneous information, which as little ifany value to any other character, except maybe a rival bitch. Should a bitch lose her diary, she must

    attempt every thing within her power to retrieve it. She is unable to cold cast or memorise any more

    spells without it. Many bitches have pinned away, nagged incessantly for the rest of their lives after

    losing their diary. If their diary is destroyed, they must gain another as quickly as possible to write

    lamentations regarding the loss of the first diary. A bitch cannot cast spells from a destroyed diary,

    she must learn them from scratch. A bitch is unable to advance in levels unless she has her diary on

    her. A true bitch will attempt to seek and destroy all other bitches diaries, if time permits she will

    riffle through to gleam what ever gossip and spell that she might find useful.

    An innocent, is able to carry her diary on her person, so as to not burden her hands, and is

    able to retrieve it without any visible effort. She may also will it into her hands from her pack, hermounts pack or a companion/plebs pack from a distance of less than 2m per bitch level. She may

    also retrieve her diary if it is within sight at 3m per bitch level.

    Second Level

    Very few of bitches, however, allow themselves to appear old or ugly, most being vain

    enough to use their magic to appear youthful and attractive. Bitches tend towards the melodramatic

    in terms of dress, preferring to wear long, billowing cloaks and such apparel as will affect a certain

    air of mystery about them. This "air of mystery," or secrecy is, in fact, a deeply ingrained character

    trait of all bitches, even though no one else can detect it. They dont care

    Third Level

    All Bitches can pass through any type of social setting without leaving a discernible trail.

    Characters who do not have specific tracking abilities will be unable to detect such traces, and even

    rangers, foresters and hunter-class characters will find that bitches are -50% harder to track in social

    settings than other characters. They also have a percent chance (13% per level) to be able to leave a

    social setting without being noticed. An enemy Bitch may use their detect Bitch Skill to determine if

    a known bitch is still in the immediate area.

    Fifth Level

    All Bitches have the ability to identify unknown fashion on sight. A successful check vs. the

    bitch's Intelligence. means that the fashion in question has been identified. A further test enables the

    bitch to make a snide remark (criticism) to the wearer. The wearer suffers -1 vanity (modesty)per

    criticism for three changes of alignment.

    To advance to sixth level a Bitch must seek out a bitch of the same level or higher and steal

    her diary. The Bitch may bypass level six and advance to level seven should she be able to steal the

    diary o a level ten bitch or greater.

    Seventh level

    Bitches are now capable of creating cosmetics, such as foundations, rouge, lip gloss andperfume, as per elixirs, potions, poultices etc. A bitch may not want to get her hands dirty and as

    such instruct someone else to perform the work for her.

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    9/53

    8th Level

    The bitch must acquire a companion (marriage is not compulsory, nor must he/she need to

    adventure with the party). If the bitch is able to steal the affections companion of another bitch (of

    equal or higher level) she may advance directly to level ten. She doesnt need to be faithful to the

    companion, but she be pretty pissed of if he isnt faithful to her.

    10th Level

    To advance to 11the level and beyond, the bitch must steal the affections of another bitchs

    companion. She may need to discard her first one, although another on the side is acceptable to a

    bitch. Should she succeed in stealing the companion of a piece of trash (or higher) she may advance

    to level 12.

    12th Level

    Bitches are immune to charm type spells as cast by other Bitches.

    13th Level

    Bitches are immune to charm type spells as cast by any enemy.

    14th Level

    Witches and Bitches become immune to all Charm spells cast by LG, TN or CE characters.

    She will find it possible to attract a group of followers equal to her Vanity Attribute divided by

    three rounded up. These followers will always be mindless plebs (of the appropriate persuasion)

    who will follow the Bitchs instructions to the word. A loyalty ritual may be performed once a

    month, granting the Bitch +1 (accumulative) charisma to her followers and reduce their Intelligence

    and Wisdom to their racial minimums.

    16th Level

    Bitches receive an immunity to all criticism.

    18th level

    A bitch may double the number of plebs she gained at 14th level. At each additional level a

    bitch may attempt to gain this number of plebs again.

    20th LevelTo advance beyond 20th level a bitch needs to beg, borrow, steal, or otherwise gain the

    affections of a number of other bitches companions. One point is awarded for the level of bitch who

    losses her companion. No two victim bitches may be of the same level and the bitch needs fifty

    Companion Points to advance to level 21 as well as the necessary experience points. As this level

    generally coincides with the bitch obtaining 40 years of age (human anyway) each stolen companion

    must be significantly younger than herself. Ideally they should be ideal specimens of outstanding

    strength, vitality and wealth.

    21st Level

    Needs to steal an additional companion from an Obliviaan or higher. A bitch will need to dothis (plus have the relevant experience) to advance each level. From obtaining Level 21 (for the first

    time) should she lose a companion to another bitch, she will lose one level and any level based

    10/53

    abilities she has gained.

    30th level

    Bitches gain the ability to crash into all sociable/ fashionable planes at will.

    Note: For a bitch to gain levels she must have enough experience points, in some cases a bitch mayjump levels in which case they are awarded enough XP to achieve this as they have managed to

    perform an outstanding bitch feat.

    Suitable Spells for a Bitch.

    Bitch Slap Cantrip

    Range 10M

    Components V S

    Failing a saving throw the victim feels a slight push against their chest.

    The Sound of Three hands Clapping Level 1

    Range 5M

    Components V S

    The victim is slapped by three invisible hands each for D4 points of damage per level of

    the castor. To hit rolls are not required. A successful saving throw reduces damage by half. The

    hands will permeate leather helmets. If the castor is level five the hands will permeate through allnon-magical metal helms. If the castor is at level ten the hands will permeate though enchanted helms

    as long as the castors level -9 is greater than the enchantment on the helm.

    Smudge Level 1

    Range 20m

    Components V M ( a piece of rough cloth)

    This will cause the victims make up to become smudged, thereby reducing their charisma/

    comeliness by 1. Additional reductions may be caused by subtracting the castors level from the

    victims level.

    PMT 1 Level 1

    Range Self

    Components Special

    This spell causes the castor to go into a unarmed frenzy and berserk, with her bare hands

    until she no longer considers herself to be under threat, (usually when the victim (perceived

    assailant) has fled in terror or dropped to their knees). This may only be cast if the castor perceives

    herself to be in immediate danger or is facing an enemy.

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    11/53

    You Can Look But You Cant Touch Level 2

    This spell will enable the victim to approach the castor but will be unable to get closer than

    five paces from her. Any attempt to get closer and the victim will suffer D4 points of damage from

    electricity. A successful saving through will negate the electrical damage, but the victim still canttouch the castor.

    Heart Breaker Level 2

    Range Touch

    Components S M (a dead heart)

    This spell although similar to a Charm spell, will leave the victim after the charm has wanned

    realising that they have been dropped. Their morale will hit rock bottom. Many victims have been

    known to starve to death by refusing to eat. Others have disappeared altogether amid rumours that

    they have become bed ridden from lethargy. A successful saving through enables the character to

    eventually learn to live again, although it is not known if any have trusted their hearts to anyone

    else.

    PMT 2 Level 2

    Range Self

    Components V M (the Weapon)

    Similar to PMT 1, although the castor is enable to seize the victims weapon (melee), and

    wield it as though proficient with it. This is limited to one single handed weapon. The weapon is

    consumed by the spell.

    Flirt Level 3

    Range 20m

    Components V M (A goblet/ glass of an alcoholic beverage)

    This will raise the charisma of the castor by 1 per three of their bitch levels to the victim,

    who will perceive the castor as flirting with them. Many victims have later stated in court that they

    castor was half naked and gesticulating towards them, a successful saving throw and the victim will

    not feel the urgency to return the compliment.

    Gossip Level 3

    Range 20M diameter, with the castor at the centre

    Components V S

    The last piece of information heard, by the castor will be broadcast to every person within

    disguised.

    PMT 3 Level 3

    Range Self

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    12/53

    Components V M (the Weapons)

    As for PMT 2 but two one handed weapons may be used in a shadow style. The weapon is

    consumed by the spell.

    Chain Gossip Level 4Range 3 people per level of castor

    Components V M (A length of silver string)

    The last piece of information heard by the castor, may be transmitted through a chain of

    people, as directed by the castor. The total number of people in the chain may be less than the

    maximum. Each person in the chain will hear the voice as it spoke its message. Each person needs to

    be within sight of the person that they are receiving the message from.

    Group Flirt Level 4

    Range 5m radius 20m from the castor

    Components S V

    All persons of appropriate persuasion act as though victims of the Flirt Spell.

    PMT 4 Level 4

    Range Self

    Components V M (the Weapon)

    As per PMT 3 although the castor is able to wield a two handed or pole arm weapon. The

    Weapon is consumed by the spell.

    Under The Thumb Level 5

    Range Touch

    Components V M (A Fire Diamond, an Ice Diamond, a Wind Diamond, a

    Dark Diamond. The Victims Holy Symbol or equivalent.

    This spell will entrap the affections of a victim (of the appropriate persuasion) for a number

    of days equal to the castors Vanity Value. After this time the character will act as though charmed

    by the bitch. This spell may not be cast on a victim, while they are still Under the Thumb of

    another bitch, although once the initial spell wears off- they may fall under the influence of anotherBitch. A successful saving through allows a character to be charmed for this duration, and they will

    not b charmed when the spell wears off. Whilst Under the Thumb the victim will not leave the

    castors side, pandering to their every request and acting chivalrous enough to make even a quoggoth

    puke.

    Goddess Level 8

    Range Special

    Components Special

    This spell has three forms depending on the victims. Firstly a bitch may cast it once over herentire entourage of plebs, such that they will worship the ground she walks on, no saving throws. It

    may be cast on a companion, ensuring that he will not lose his affection for her for a year and a day,

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    13/53

    a successful saving through and he will act as though Under the Thumb for a month and a day. This

    Spell may also be cast on another bitch, who will regard the castor as harmless (for one week),

    regardless of what they Read Between the Lines. A successful saving through in this case causes the

    spell to backfire and the castor believes that the victim is in deed their best friend and will happily

    share their grievances and diary with them.

    Beautality Level 10

    Range Self

    Components V S M (A Pika Pelt, The Frame of Chantels Horror, A Haagii Jaw Bone, a Litre of

    Royal Blood, a Fresh Four Seasons Pizza, The Alcohol Gland from an

    Alcohol Dragon)

    This spell enables the castor to maintain her appearance (ideal) at the time of casting for the

    next 6 and a half years. Although she will continue to age, only a true bitch will not be deceived by

    the illusion.

    Menopause Level 10

    Range Self

    Components Something special, incredibly rare and impossible to locate.

    Similar to the PMT spells, this spell enables the castor to borrow one attack mode (magical

    or mechanical) from the victim and use it against the victim. Stories abound, of bitches scorching

    dragons by spitting at them with their own breath weapon. The castor is immune to the attack mode

    (as used by the victim), unless a successful saving through is made.

    Appendix A: Classes suitable for a pleb.

    WARRIOR OAF

    The Warrior Oaf is essentially a big, strong, and dull-witted human. Mongo from Mel Brooks'

    Blazing Saddles is a good example of a Warrior Oaf. Requirements for this character are a Strength

    of 18 and a minimum constitution of 16. This is necessary to compensate for his glaring deficits in

    all other abilities. His size and apparent strength should be intimidating to others, therefore, he

    must be human. It would be unreasonable to expect the DM to allow a dwarf, elf, half-elf, orHalfling to attain such proportions (ie. 7', 350lbs).

    Maximum Intelligence and Wisdom are 7 (we suggest 1d4+3. In addition to providing a maximum

    of 7 this method offers a good possibility that his INT and WIS will be less than that and guarantees

    that the character will be able to speak at least on a simple level and that he will not necessarily act

    on instinct).

    Maximum Dexterity and Charisma are 12. A creature so big and slow-witted is simply not capable

    of the grace, agility, and charm of a Robin Hood. In truth, his charisma should probably be much

    lower but it is not inconceivable that men would chose to follow one who possesses such physicalpower or that a fair maiden would not be attracted to him much like she would to a puppy.

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    14/53

    Because he is lacking in intelligence and wisdom, the Warrior Oafs ability to learn is very limited.

    For this reason, unlike most warriors, he begins with only 2 weapon proficiency slots and only one

    non-weapon proficiency slot. He then accumulates slots as a normal warrior would.

    His choice of weapons is limited to bludgeoning type melee weapons. He simply lacks the ability

    to learn how to use swords, axes, picks, etc. and missile weapons (it is possible that he may be ableto become proficient in rock/boulder throwing but we're not sure how to do this). He may, and

    should, use his first two weapon proficiency slots to specialise. I do not believe that this poses a

    incongruity. Although he is mentally slow, it stands to reason that if he fights only with a club he

    would become quite adept in its use and even a specialist. He may wear armour of any type

    provided he can acquire some that fits his enormous bulk

    His non-weapon Proficiencies are limited only to those requiring strength or constitution and then

    only those which do not involve much skill. Although the Warrior Oaf may be quite good at

    pounding nails he could not learn the skills necessary to be a carpenter. Some Proficiencies that he

    could acquire are running, swimming, jumping, and endurance (which requires two slots).

    Since his abilities render him incapable of understanding Law, the Warrior Oaf has to be chaotic in

    alignment. I'm not certain how to describe him in terms of good vs evil. Some of it would probably

    depend on his upbringing. However, his low intelligence and wisdom make him highly

    impressionable and he could be swayed from one side to the other by someone who he considers a

    friend. Again, Mongo is a good example. At first Mongo was essentially evil (I realise that

    statement is debatable but I'm trying to figure this alignment thing out). However, after

    development a fondness for Sheriff Bart, Mongo realigned himself with good. I suppose, therefore,

    that the Warrior Oaf's alignment will depend much on the other members of his party. Still, it is

    possible that the character could be inherently good or evil. A good Warrior Oaf who is adventuring

    with an evil party might prevent a gang rape and bust a few of his colleagues heads in the process.

    If evil and travelling with a good party, he might forcefully take a gem from a colleague and then bust

    his head if he expresses disapproval. that statement is debatable but I'm trying to figure this

    alignment thing out).

    Clod

    Description: Members of this kit are not part of a "group" in any normal sense. Some individuals are unusually strongand stupid. They blunder around life, taking things when they need them. Their thief abilities are significantlymodified in form, though not in result. This character is a sort of "duh, gee George, sure I canna open da puny littlebox for ya" type. They are invariably large and overweight for their race.

    Ability requirements: Strength must be at least 15, Dexterity must be no GREATER than 16, and both Intelligence andWisdom must be less than 11. Members of this kit are permitted extraordinary strength up to 18/50 (roll d%; on a 01-50, STR = 18; on a 51-00, STR = 18/01-50).

    Role: See description. Imagine a cross between the Abominable Snowman from the old Warner Brothers BugsBunny/Daffy duck cartoon and the classic thief.

    Weapon Proficiencies: These thieves can use any inelegant weapon. Mostly this means clubs, saps, punching,

    wrestling, axes, etc. No rapiers, bows, martial arts, etc. They may specialise in punching and wrestling (only).

    Nonweapon Proficiencies: The whole point of this kit is rather antithetical to being highly skilled. No bonus orrequired Proficiencies. All Proficiencies for which Intelligence is the relevant ability cost an ADDED penalty of one

    slot.

    Modification to thief abilities: Members of this kit lose some abilities outright, gain a few in exchange, and have therest altered noticeably. They lose the ability to Find Traps, Move Silently, Hide in Shadows, Detect Noise, ClimbWalls, and Read Languages totally. The following abilities are changed:

    Pick Pockets: This ability is no longer the sly purloining of coins or pouches from an unknowingvictim. Instead, it represents an irresistible "grabbing" of the object. Its chance of success is the same

    as for the normal ability, but there are some differences. First, whether successful or not the attempt

    is totally obvious. Unless dead, the target will notice. If the thief tries to "pick" a pouch hanging

    from the victim's belt, success means that the whole pouch was ripped off, the attaching thongs

    torn. If the thief tries for something in a pocket, he shoves a big meaty hand inside and grabs

    everything he can, most likely tearing the pocket off in the bargain. Ability modifiers: (STR, not

    DEX, applies)

    STR SCORE MODIFIER RACE MODIFIER

    15 0 Human 0

    16 0 Gnome -5%

    17 +5% Halfling -5%

    18 +10% Dwarf 0

    18/01-50 +15%

    If the victim is holding the item to be "picked," the following modifiers apply: Strength ofopponent = same penalty as the thief would get as a bonus, above; Held with two hands = -15%. If the held object is a weapon, the victim gets a free attack against the thief. If that attackhits, the "pick" attempt automatically fails.

    Open locks: This skill is simply the opening of locked objects through the creative use of force.

    Special tools are normally required to open locks effectively. Members of this kit don't use any of

    those wimpy-ass girlie-tools that normal thieves do, though. Crowbars, sledge hammers, big rocks,

    and spiked clubs are frequently used. This method has advantages and disadvantages over the

    normal method. Normal traps like poisoned needles in locks and contact poison just don't do

    anything to the thief, obviously. Moreover, an attempt takes a mere round (spent smashing, prying,

    and gouging the offending closure). The problem is that most objects are too, er, delicate to handle

    this sort of treatment. Generally, if the DM thinks the locked object (or its contents, if a chest or

    box) is liable to be broken by the mistreatment of the lock, s/he should have it save versus the blow.

    Strong items like solid steel doors need not save at all. Large chests and strong wood doors might

    save vs. normal blow, perhaps at a bonus. Ivory coffers and crystal boxes would need to save vs.

    crushing blow at a penalty. Noise is also a drawback of this method. Ability modifiers (relevant

    ability is STR):

    STR SCORE MODIFIER RACE MODIFIER:

    15 0 Human 0

    16 +5% Gnome 0

    17 +10% Halfling 0

    18 +15% Dwarf +5%

    18/01-50 +20%

    With normal lock picking, the DM can assign bonuses or penalties depending on the quality of the

    lock. The same may be done here. The thief may try again to open a lock on a later round (if the

    noise doesn't attract someone before then, or the punishment break the closure outright, making itmoot) at a cumulative penalty of -10% per round. (The damage tends to jam & fuse the lock in

    place.)

    Remove traps: Not dissimilar to Open Locks. These thieves couldn't FIND a trap on their own if

    their life depended on it. But if a friend points one out, the thief can "remove" it quite effectively.

    The technique is essentially that of catastrophically setting it off. As above, a few "tools" are

    needed. If the roll is successful, the thief sets the trap off, causing it to fail/jam/whatever. The thief

    NEVER takes damage from the trap if his roll is successful; if damage would normally be

    unavoidable, the result for the thief should be mostly cosmetic (e.g. if a fireball is set off in the room,

    the thief should lose one to three hit points and have his face and body comically blackened). Otherparty members need by no means get off this easily. If they happen to be standing in the wrong

    place when the trap is set off, too bad for them. This skill applies both for mechanical and magical

    traps, though magical traps cause a -10% penalty to the roll. There are no ability modifiers for this

    skill. Failure sets the trap off automatically; and, if the thief CAN be affected by it, he automatically

    is.

    New Thief Abilities

    Move unstoppably: As was mentioned earlier, every member of this kit is large and overweight.

    These thieves possess an uncanny skill to barge through obstacles with little or no harm tothemselves. This skill is usually invoked either (1) while frantically making for the exit or (2) while

    mindlessly trying to get hold of something interesting. If used successfully, intervening objects will

    be knocked over, spilled, scattered, stomped on, jostled, or otherwise disturbed in the most chaotic,

    noisy way possible. There are four basic types of obstacle this thief needs to worry about:

    (1) "Huh? Did I hit something?" A single chair. A shorter humanoid. Something minor like

    that. +10%.

    (2) "Oooff!" A dining room set. A few people gossiping in a group. A bunch or barrels. A

    single much bigger humanoid. A short picket fence. A thick hedge. +/- 0%.

    (3) "Oww!" A plaster wall. A small group of militiamen. A big fence. -20%.

    (4) "...." A stone wall. A bunch of nasty dudes bigger than the thief. A Blade Barrier spell. Theroll cannot succeed unless the thief has funny magical stuff to allow it. The thief moves at full

    normal movement through the area for up to a round or until the DM deems that he must stop

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    17/53

    or roll again. The path behind the thief is open for other party members to use. If the thief

    attempts to Move Unstoppably through one or more armed entities, that's OK. If he

    succeeds, the victims must each save vs. DEX or fall to the ground. Even if they retain their

    footing, they attack and defend at -2 for 1-6 segments. If he fails, each of the intended victims

    can attack the thief as he passes.

    STR SCORE MODIFIER RACE MODIFIER

    17 +5% Halfling -25%

    18 +10% Dwarf -10%

    18/01-50 +15%

    Thump: Thieves of this kit do not get the "backstab" ability per se. Instead, they gain the ability to"thump" a surprised opponent on the noggin. The thief may use any proficient blunt weapon. If the

    victim is wearing armour, s/he is assumed to be wearing a helmet unless there is some reason to think

    otherwise. A "thump" will be only a normal called shot to the head if the opponent is not surprised.

    Modifiers:

    Thief is 1 foot or more taller than victim: +1 to hit

    Thief is 1 foot or more shorter than victim: -1 to hit

    AC, helmet worn: normal AC of opponent

    AC, no helmet: AC = 8 (modified by magic but not DEX since the opponent is by definition

    surprised)

    Plus all normal bonuses for attacking from behind, etc., if applicable.A successful hit does normal damage PLUS:

    At levels 1-4: double this amount as temporary damage

    At levels 5-8: x3 as temporary damage

    At levels 9-12: x4 as temporary damage

    At levels 13+: x5 as temporary damage

    This temporary damage wears off normally. Note also that all this damage goes to the head if you

    are using the optional "stunned" and "useless" table from the Complete Fighter's Handbook.

    Remove Traps 10%

    Move Unstoppably 10%

    At level one the thief gets 40 discretionary points. Every level thereafter he gets 20. No abilitymay be raised above 95%.

    Special benefits: In order to live long enough to reach adulthood, all people as dorky as thosein this kit have to have a sizeable stock of luck. This may be handled in two ways.1. Every time the thief sets off some kind of disaster by using one of his 4 special skills (not

    thump) and would be imperilled in some way not previously mentioned, he can attempt a saving

    throw vs. breath weapon. Success means that he avoids danger is some comical, near-miraculous

    way.

    2. The other way is for the DM to decide when the PC/NPC has acted particularly true to his kit &

    that it would be good for morale/comedic relief/encouragement to allow the player a save as above

    to avoid danger.

    Special hindrances: Duh, need one comment on this? They are constantly blundering into dangerous

    situations and relying on the cleverness of friends. They are slow and dimwitted, with all the

    disadvantages that normally accompany that failing.

    Races: Most thieves in this kit are human, though other races are represented. Elves may not

    participate in this kit. Interestingly, NPC giants, trolls, and other large humanoid groups have few

    thieves NOT members of this kit.

    The Swashbuckler

    Stats:

    Strength: 9 or better (no "to hit" bonuses for high Strength)

    Intelligence: 6 or better

    Constitution: any (9 or better recommended)

    Charisma: 14 or better

    Wisdom: 16 or lower *

    Dexterity: 15 or better

    * Wisdom will range from 4-6 at first level, then go up one point per level until the rolled stat is

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    19/53

    reached. The Swashbuckler will gain full Wisdom at 12th level in any case. He or she is allowed to

    use the modifiers from the original Wisdom score for saving throws vs. mental attacks involving will

    force, resisting ego swords, etc., but not for rolling vs. Weaknesses.

    Races allowed: human, elf, and half-elf. The GM may place special restrictions on elves and half-

    elves.

    Weapons: +1 "to hit" with light swords (foil, rapier, saber, or cutlass). Can use other light weapons

    (quarterstaff, dagger, etc.), excluding martial-arts weapons. No Polearms or bows are allowed.

    Black powder pistols are allowed if they exist in the campaign world--however, they are

    cumbersome to use.

    Armour: None. (Gets a double Defensive Adjustment against a similar weapon type--ie., foil vs.

    foil, rapier vs. Cutlass, etc.). Can use a buckler. The GM may rule that leather armour is allowed at

    very low levels (1-3).

    Alignment: chaotic only. Titles differ by alignment: Swashbuckler (good), Rogue (neutral), and

    Villain (evil).

    Magic items allowed: items for fighters, items that raise dexterity, items useable by all classes.

    Description: Swashbucklers are a subclass of fighters with some Rogue abilities, whose training

    emphasises swiftness and agility.

    * * He or she can either remain at 12th level indefinitely or switch to another class. Most have an

    affinity for the fighter or thief classes.

    Beginning at first level, a Swashbuckler gets:

    Attacks and weapon proficiencies as a fighter

    Jumping (front, back, sideways, and vertically) as Thief-Acrobat

    Automatic first strike in combat, except when surprised or fighting another

    Swashbuckler/Rogue/Villain

    Base movement at 12"

    d4 + 3 Weaknesses

    d4 + 2 Skills

    Skill in one gaming or gambling scenario involving skill, not chance. Examples: chess, backgammon,

    poker, blackjack, etc. When playing the game, the Swashbuckler gets to make TWO rolls to

    determine the outcome and takes the most favourable one. Furthermore, the Swashbuckler selects anew game every time (s)he gains a level.

    Weaknesses

    1. SPENDTHRIFT--Every time the Swashbuckler accumulates more

    than 50 g.p. and is in a non-critical situation, (s)he must save vs. Wisdom on d20 or spend {(d6

    +d4) X 10}% on one or more other Weaknesses.

    2. EGOTISM--This Weakness can take several forms: FOPPISHNESS--the Swashbuckler feels

    compelled to wear the latest, most expensive fashions and refuses to be seen in public otherwise.

    VANITY--Roll 4d10 + 60 to determine the Swashbuckler's vanity. 95-00 is megalomania. He or

    she will be egotistical, conceited, and snobbish; (s)he may seek revenge for minor wrongs, irk localofficials, brag too much, etc. Morale checks for henchmen and associates will have the

    Swashbuckler's Vanity score subtracted from their roll! INTELLECTUAL PRIDE--(requires

    Intelligence of 12 or greater)--The Swashbuckler will place great stock in his/her mental prowess,

    wanting the party to follow his/her ideas, wanting to be the first person to figure out puzzles,

    riddles, etc.

    VAINGLORY--the Swashbuckler will continually be trying to perform brave (or foolhardy) feats

    in order to be immortalised in story and song. The GM may opt to make these Weaknesses un-

    removable.

    3. WANDERING EYE--the Swashbuckler will hit on any member of the opposite sex with a

    comeliness score of 14 or above. The target of this Weakness will save vs. Wisdom(SUBTRACTING the Mental Attack Adjustment) with the following modifiers: -3 if married or

    engaged, -4 if lawful, -1 per level, -5 if under oath of celibacy, -10 if (s)he has been seduced and

    dumped by a Swashbuckler before; +4 if chaotic, +2 if elf, +1 if half- elf, +5 if cleric of Aphrodite or

    similar deity, +10 if the target is a Swashbuckler and the PC has a comeliness of 14 or better. Please

    keep in mind that subtracting a negative yields a positive, so someone with a very low Wisdom and

    a Mental Attack Adjustment of -3 will actually roll a save at

    - -3 and ADD three to the base roll. The Swashbuckler may continue attempts for (d4 X

    Swashbuckler's level) days before losing interest.

    4. GAMBLING--the Swashbuckler must make a save vs. Wisdom on d20 to resist an invitation to

    gamble (if (s)he rolls a 1, (s)he immediately invites others to gamble!). Once begun, theSwashbuckler will continue the game until (s)he's broke or the other players quit.

    5. DRINKING--takes one of two forms (d%)

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    21/53

    01-70: The Swashbuckler drinks to intoxication after failing a save vs. Wisdom in non-critical

    situations. Roll once a day.

    71-00 The Swashbuckler collects and drinks the finest, most expensive beverages (s)he can afford.

    6. FAMILY PROBLEMS--Swashbucklers are often second (or later) children of minor noble

    houses. Roll d8:1-3 Disinherited

    4-6 Disowned and disinherited

    7 Disowned, disinherited, and in trouble with parents' liege *

    8 Disowned, disinherited, in trouble with parents' liege, PLUS d6 other nobles *

    * The Swashbuckler will not return to his/her homeland until (s)he has removed at least one

    Weakness and/or has the means to make amends.

    7. OUTSTANDING DEBT--Although the creditors now know that the Swashbuckler is a poor

    credit risk, (s)he will start at first level with a debt of (d% X 100) gold pieces. This is the ONLY

    Weakness that can be removed prior to reaching 8th level. The Swashbuckler may well have to deal

    with collectors ("There's an ogre magi here to see you!"), grovel for more time, etc. Roll for thealignment of the creditor(s):

    d6: 1-2 lawful, 3-4 neutral, 5-6 chaotic

    d6: 1-2 good, 3-4 neutral, 5-6 evil

    8. SECRET--The Swashbuckler has something in his/her past that (s)he's ashamed of. Secrets 6

    and 10 do not apply to elves or half-elves. Roll d10:

    1 Used to be another chaotic alignment

    2 Sired (or had) a baby and abandoned it

    3 Robbed a store; frittered away the money

    4 Stole from one or both parents to support Weaknesses

    5 Killed someone * *6 Had an affair with a noble's spouse

    7 Destroyed a powerful person's valuable property * *

    8 Briefly belonged to politically suspect organisation

    9 Got drunk and did something SO humiliating that it can't even be mentioned here!

    10 Family background--roll d8: 1-3 peasant background d4 generations back; 4 orc blood d4

    generations back; 5 Swashbuckler born d6 months after parents wed; 6 Swashbuckler was the

    product of mother's affair; 7-8 parents or sibling(s) are what the Swashbuckler would consider a

    disgraceful alignment, profession, religion, or status.

    * * If the Swashbuckler is Good alignment, there is a 90% chance that it was accidentally. Secrets

    cannot be removed. The player can customise them with the GMs approval.9. A PHOBIA or OBSESSION--these will be assigned by the Dungeon Master. An obsession is

    often the only stable element in an otherwise chaotic life. These Weaknesses also cannot be

    removed except under extraordinary circumstances.

    A Swashbuckler can take a MAXIMUM of two Secrets and/or one Debt as Weaknesses.

    A Swashbuckler starts out with d4 + 2 skills. The first three must be Aristocratic, the next either

    combat or miscellaneous, any other miscellaneous only. Every time the Swashbuckler increases a

    level, (s)he gains another skill--however, the skills acquired must alternate between "aristocratic" and

    other types.

    Aristocratic skills

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    22/53

    1. HERALDRY--The Swashbuckler can identify shields and devices. If the shield/device is not

    from his/her homeland, the Swashbuckler has a 10% chance per month (s)he's stayed in the region to

    identify it.

    2. RIDING

    3. HUNTING--This basically entails going into the forest with dogs, with servants to handle theanimals, clean the kill, etc. This in no way confers Ranger-like abilities!

    4. FALCONRY--Hunting, as above, with raptors instead of dogs

    5. POETRY

    6. MUSIC--the Swashbuckler can play one instrument at 10% skill per level. This skill can be

    taken more than once.

    7. DANCING--courtly dancing

    8. ETIQUETTE--courtly etiquette

    9. SINGING--as Music, but success rate is 15%/level.

    10. COMBAT RIDING--requires Riding as a prerequisite. The Swashbuckler will not need to

    save vs. Dexterity when slashing an opponent from a moving horse.11. FLIRTING--allows the Swashbuckler to guess whether someone will be responsive to his/her

    attentions.

    12. COURTLY LOVE/COURTSHIP:

    For male Swashbucklers: Adds 1 to target's saving throw for every skill the Swashbuckler has in

    Music, Poetry, and Singing. Each type of skill will only count for one point, even if the

    Swashbuckler has taken multiple skills in Music. The Swashbuckler will need to spend d4 turns

    composing an original song for his beloved. For female Swashbucklers: Adds 1 to target's saving

    throw for each of the Swashbuckler's skills in Dancing, Flirting, and Etiquette.

    13. EPICURISM--Swashbuckler can identify fine food and wine.

    14. LITERACY--can read and write Common.15. LANGUAGES--If the Swashbuckler has Literacy, (s)he can learn to speak and read other

    languages. This skill can be taken as many times as Intelligence permits.

    16. ARISTOCRATIC LORE--The Swashbuckler has a 7% chance per level for Legend Lore about

    his/her homeland, 3% for territories near the homeland, and 1% for distant lands.

    Miscellaneous skills

    A Swashbuckler's miscellaneous skills won't be very time-consuming or difficult to learn (no magic

    or smithing, for example). Swashbucklers won't take skills that they consider beneath their dignity--

    for example, cooking or sewing ("The SERVANTS do that!"). A Swashbuckler's skills must beprimarily urban. Within these limits, Miscellaneous skills can encompass just about every category

    in the campaign. Criminal skills (thief skills, disguise, con artistry, bribery, lying, and smuggling) are

    lumped under Miscellaneous. The only thief skills allowed are: Pick Pockets/filching, Find (but not

    Remove) Traps, Move Silently, Hear Noise, and Climb Walls. A Swashbuckler can take one

    thief/criminal skill, a Rogue two, and a Villain three.

    Combat Skills

    1. FENCING--gives another +1 with a specific type of light sword (or other weapon). This skill

    can be taken more than once, but the cumulative pluses on a weapon due to FENCING may not

    exceed +3. The Swashbuckler may, of course, opt to take this skill on more than one weapon.2. BUCKLER--lowers armour class another 2 places due to skill and dexterity when using a

    buckler. This does not apply to non-frontal or area attacks. The GM may allow this skill to be

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    23/53

    taken more than once.

    3. FLORENTINE FIGHTING--allows the Swashbuckler to fight with a sword (or dagger) in each

    hand with no penalty. Damage will be normal.

    4. EVASION--Once a turn, a Swashbuckler can make a saving throw vs. dexterity to see if (s)he

    dodges an opponent's blow. This ability cannot be used if the Swashbuckler is blocked in, surprised,or trying to evade an area-effect missile or magic. The GM may want to limit this ability to x times

    per game, x times per level, or even x times per lifetime.

    Eventually the Swashbuckler will attract the attention of a Villain of equivalent level. The

    Swashbuckler and the Villain will share at least one Weakness (usually an egotism weakness), and a

    rivalry will ensue. The Villain may not always seek the Swashbuckler's death--sometimes a public

    or private humiliation will do. When a Swashbuckler and a Villain clash in combat, the loser will

    lose a level if (s)he survives.

    Fights between Swashbucklers and Villains are invariably hand-to- hand; after all, the object is toprove oneself the better fighter! The Villain, however, will probably resort to nefarious means to

    lure the Swashbuckler into the confrontation in the first place-- kidnapping his/her fiance,

    threatening innocent bystanders, putting posters up all over town publicly challenging the

    Swashbuckler, etc. Characters and enemies with Weakness--Egotism--Intellectual Pride will place

    more emphasis on outwitting their enemies (and gloating if they can get away with it)!

    Henchmen: Swashbucklers do not attract henchmen in the usual manner. Upon reaching 8th level

    (and every level thereafter), (s)he has a 1 in 4 chance to attract either a temporary (75%) or

    permanent (25%) sidekick. Temporary sidekicks will only remain with the Swashbuckler until (s)he

    gains a level; permanent sidekicks are fanatically loyal, will stick around indefinitely, and willprevent the Swashbuckler from gaining another sidekick of any type for as long as the sidekick lives.

    The sidekicks will be the same general alignment (good/neutral/evil) as the Swashbuckler. A sidekick

    will always be someone the Swashbuckler secretly considers "inferior" to him or herself--a Villain

    with Intellectual Pride, for instance, may accept a big, dumb ogre as a sidekick; a foppish or

    vainglorious Swashbuckler prefers someone who won't outshine him or her. Permanent sidekicks

    are never Swashbucklers, but several adventuring Swashbucklers can work together if their

    Weaknesses (and alignments) are compatible. (The G.M. will determine Weakness compatibility--a

    bunch of Swashbucklers may well enjoy drinking and gambling together, but get on each other's

    -------------------------------------------------------------------

    Possible restrictions on elves and half-elves: the D.M. should enforce some restrictions if in his/her

    opinion the character would be too powerful otherwise.

    Some suggested restrictions are:

    A. Limit elves and half elves to one level per 3 points of Dexterity, OR use the next set of

    restrictions:

    B. Elves retain their racial bonus of +1 "to hit" with swords, but their cumulative bonuses from

    FENCING cannot exceed +2 per weapon.

    c. They do not have any special skills at first level; at most, the D.M. may permit one Aristocraticskill. They gain another Aristocratic skill upon reaching 2nd level, then proceed in normal C-M-A-

    C-M fashion.

    D. If they take a Language as an Aristocratic skill, they lose one racial language (they'll always

    know Elvish, though).

    E. At the GMs option, elves (and maybe half-elves) can be assigned 1-2 extra Weaknesses.

    The Rake

    A swash-buckling, thief, suited for political adventures, although can fit into almost any

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    25/53

    society. Developed in the Pearl islands whose culture is opposed to theft, but which encourages

    trickery, agility and the cleverness of thieves. Rakes have al thief abilities except for Pick Pockets

    and backstabbing. This class although suited to any social setting is popular among noble or

    senatorial families, whose members are above petty thievery and (literal) backstabbing as a matter of

    honour. (Grand scale thievery, corruption and treachery are still, paradoxically, perfectlypermissible to some of these people).

    A Rake Character, is created exactly like a thief but with no Pick Pockets or back stabbing

    skill. Instead the rake gets a + 1 to charisma (18 max) and will generally be recognised as being either

    a 'gentleman' or a 'lady'. A rake with initiative can dodge (D) on melee attack by rolling their Hide in

    Shadows percentage. If the player declares no attacks, they can try to dodge each incoming melee

    attack for that round. Ranged spells, area affect attacks and missiles cannot be dodged, and the

    maximum chance to dodge must never exceed 90%.

    Rakes earn experience, gain levels, wear armour and carry arms as thieves. They may not

    belong to thieves guilds, thieves do not consider them to be of their profession. Many rakes are

    lawful. A rake may not become a thief, nor may a thief become a rake.

    Insider

    These rakes are able to get inside organisations and governments, find required information/

    evidence and get out before getting caught. These characters gain Reading/ writing, Heraldry and

    Foraging (only in offices, used to find hidden documents) as bonus Non Weapon Proficiency's. It is

    also suggested that they take Interrogation (although this is carried out subtly), or information

    gathering. As these characters move frequently to avoid being known and recognised, they are able

    to learn either another language, or if working with a partner or group, they may develop their own

    sign language, or signalling system.

    Diplomat

    Diplomats are used by governments and nobles to act on their behalf when tension is too

    great to put themselves at risk. Diplomats wear a medallion to signify who they are working for, and

    gain a + 1 to all reaction rolls against people who are associated with their employer, eg subjects.

    Due to the nature of their work Diplomats learn Bureaucracy, Fast Talking and Riding Land Based

    as bonus non weapon proficiencies. These characters are able to specialise in a one handed sword,

    for three weapon proficiency slots, they gain the + 1 to hit, + 2 for damage and may not have any

    for than 3 attacks every 2 rounds, multiple attacks begin at fifth level.

    AmbassadorAmbassadors are permanent representatives of governments and royal families, in foreign

    cities and countries. Thy must work in conjunction with both governments and as such they gain a

    + 1 to any reaction roll, when dealing with other political figures. They are trained in Politics,

    Bureaucracy, History, Geography and Reading/writing, of both their native land and the land that

    they are sent to (bonus NWPs). Due to the amount of study that they undertake, they lose the

    ability to speak one language less than they normally could, as well as losing 1 weapon proficiency

    slot, and 2 Non Weapon Proficiency slots.

    SWANKER

    Description

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    26/53

    These characters are often those who don't get onto well with their own gender. Males are

    considered to be pansies and females butch. This can cause quite a few problems socially as these

    characters are often the first target when a character becomes enraged, or needs to vent some anger.

    As such these characters have become adept at removing themselves from the potential battle fields,

    although they are more than capable of handling themselves in battle. Due to their rather outlandishbehaviour, quick wit and sharp tongue these characters may find themselves accidentally offending

    others. Usually these characters are the ones that every body wants to have a go at although they

    are rather difficult to pin down.

    Role

    In a party these characters feel at home in cities and towns, where for various reasons they

    tend to attract unwanted, and often unwarranted attention. They are known to the local law

    enforcement agency, as those who are charged with disturbing the peace and fighting in public often

    cite these characters as the cause of their behaviour. When adventuring outdoors, these characters

    tend to remain by themselves, carrying out what ever duties have been assigned to them and havingas little as possible to do with other party members. When meeting a character for the first time,

    some sort of dominance must be established, in which the character will attempt to better, and out

    do the opponent. By this the character is able to determine their pecking order within the parties

    ranks. These characters are often used as scouts, to move ahead of the party; or to guard the rear,

    from a rather safe distance.

    Weapon proficienciesAll swords, especially one handed

    All bows

    All cross bows

    Non weapon proficiencies Bonus: Etiquette Reading/writing

    Recommended: Camouflage, Interrogation, Persuasion, Tumbling,

    Blind Fighting, Persuasion, Signalling, Musical instrument

    Primary terrain: Urban

    Armour: Any

    Hated race: Anyone who has previously displayed hostility or intentionally insulted or

    injured the

    character.

    Notes:

    - Has access to Rogue, Fighter and General NWP.

    - + 2 to AC when wearing leather or studded leather armour

    - -2 to reaction rolls on members of own gender.

    - Is able to Move Silently and Hide in Shadows as a Ranger, although double negatives are taken if

    the character is wearing armour greater than Hide.

    - If attempting to Move Silently, or Hide in Shadows outside of an Urban environment, these

    character do so at half of their MS and HS percentages, unless they have camouflage, each of these

    skills may be use separately but not together unless the character is in an urban environment.

    - Does not carry excessive equipment, and will often refuse to carry other's belongings.

    - Can specialise in one sword and one bow/cross bow. If the character specialises in a one handed

    sword, the character is able to use two of that weapon without hindrance, additional attacks due to

    specialisation are lost.

    - Can swanker, exaggerated movement, accompanied with walking/ striding. If used outdoors, thecharacter may become the focus of attention. If used indoors other character may become infuriated

    with the character who is obviously attempting to show off.

    A Damned Cat is the feline equivalent to a Hell Hound, except that it is a little bit more

    advanced. It's fur is a rustic brown with bright red stripes. These cats have coal black eyes, and an

    even darker tongue. It stands 4 to 5 feet tall at the shoulder, and smell of burned flesh. Where their

    paws touch the ground (or tree), flames spruce up leaving blackened claw marks along the surface.

    Combat:

    Damned Cats are very clever hunters, but do not hunt in more than a pack of three. They

    stay quiet until sighting their prey. This gives them a -7 bonus to surprise against their enemies.

    Damned Cats leap silently from tree to tree (leaving their scorch marks) until they come in sight of

    their adversary. They then ponce out at their enemy from the trees. If they successfully hit the

    enemy on the ponce, their is a 45 % chance the victim will be knocked out, plus the initial 1d10

    points of damage the ponce inflicts.

    The second attack of the Damned Cat is usually it's fiery hiss. The cat's tail stretches out

    and the cat exhales a burst of flame up to 15 yards (60 feet) long. This does 1 point of damage for

    every yard closer the victim is. Example: 15 yards away = 1hp gone. 1 yard away = 15hp gone.If the subject of pain is still alive after the initial attacks, a Damned Cat would move in to

    either rip him apart with it's 4 inch claws, or tear the flesh from his bones with it's 6 inch teeth.

    The defences a Damned Cat has are as follows:

    1) Immune to all fire

    2) Are only surprised on a 1 or a 2 on a 1d10

    3) Have a 75 % chance to see invisible or concealed creatures.

    Habitat / Society:

    These fiery feline beasts are commonly found in the Abyss, and are usually gated to the

    Prime Material Plane to wreak havoc across it for some evil God or demon. In the Abyss, they

    usually roam the heated levels searching for tormented souls to tease. Damned Cats have 5 Hit Dice,

    and use their bulk to make lesser demons and Hell Hounds suffer. These cats do not reproduce on

    the Prime Material Plane at all, so cannot be tamed by natural ways. Only magic can bring these

    slashing kittens to order. After killing all of it's prey, a Damned Cat will eat Human or Demi-

    Human carcasses first. These are also the ones they attack first.

    Ecology:

    Damned Cats have little place in the ecology of the Prime Material Plane, but are very

    dangerous, and when tamed, can do major damage. Fire Giantess' usually use these ferocious kitties

    to destroy their lovers Hell Hounds. They do not make as good guards though, for they seem to

    wander off and look for something to kill.

    Armour Class: 1 XP Value: 3, 600

    Appearance:

    These cats are an undead version of the Damned Cat, but with different abilities and a

    completely different look. Rotting green flesh surrounds the skeletal remains of a giant cat, standing

    4 to 5 feet tall at the shoulder. Burning red eyes stand out against the white bone, and burn terror

    into any who gaze upon them. Wherever these creatures touch, the immediate area around them dies

    and decomposes into a blackened ash. They distinctly smell of rotting corpses, and their intelligence

    allows them to follow orders for those who have raised them from their grave.

    Combat:

    Ghoul Cats are usually found in the presence of Ghouls, but there can never be two GhoulCats within 1 mile of each other. They attack first by blasting their enemies with a Decomposition

    Mist that reaches out in a cone shaped blast starting at the creature's mouth, and then travelling 30

    feet long, 20 feet wide, and 5 feet high. All those who are caught in this desolating mist suffer these

    consequences, unless a save versus Breath Weapon is successfully made. This blast has no effect on

    walls, or dead objects. Only living, breathing things (people, trees, etc. )

    1) On the first round after being hit, the victim's skin starts to itch uncontrollably, causing no

    damage, but a -4 to attack.

    2) On the second round after being hit, the victim's skin break's open into sores, oozing pus for 1d4

    damage, and the -4 to attack.3) On the third round (and every other before getting cured) after being hit, the victim's skin will

    actively decompose and fall from the body in chunks, causing 4d4 damage, plus the victim will not

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    30/53

    To counteract the effects of the mist, a Cure Disease spell or two Dispel Magic spells must

    be cast - OR - the victim's sores must be bathed in one vial of holy water for every 5 hit points of

    damage taken. These treatments only halt the continuing of the decomposition. However, a Cure

    Wounds spell, potion, etc. or rest will restore the skin.

    If their enemies are not dead, the cat will leap in and use it's paralysing byte to disable the

    remaining victim's. This paralysing bite does an initial 1d12 damage, plus 1d10+4 rounds of

    paralysed activity (which is none, since the victim is paralysed). The only way to negate this

    paralysing bite is to roll a saving throw versus Paralysation with a negative 2 hindrance. They would

    then continue to rip their opponents apart with their claws, causing 1d8+2 damage every time they

    hit. Any person who is destroyed by a Ghoul Cat becomes a Ghoul in 1d20 turns unless blessed by

    holy water and lain below the ground (buried).

    Ghoul Cats are immune to the cold, illusions, hold spells, and sleep and charm spells. The

    immediately seek out the creatures who use magic against them, seeing as they pose the greatest

    threat towards their existence.

    Habitat / Society:

    Ghoul Cats are found in the presence of Ghouls, and are found eating corpses along side their

    companions.

    Ecology:

    Ghoul Cats delight in tearing apart living creatures, especially Humans and Demi-Humans, for they

    taste the best. These beasts were probably once Damned Cats, but have now been risen to do an evil

    wizard's or priests bidding.

    The Golden Spirit Hamster is a small rodent with short legs and a small bobtail, characteristics of an animal thatspends most of its active life underground; however it is not strictly subterranean. The Golden Spirit Hamster

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    31/53

    Combat: Golden Spirit Hamsters normally flee from anything bigger then themselves.Trapped Golden Spirit Hamsters will bite to survive and hopefully flee.

    Habitat/Society: The main concern to a Golden Spirit Hamster is food. The Golden Spirit

    Hamster thrives on a diet of green vegetables and various grains. They cram their food intocheek pouches and later store it in their dens.

    Interestingly enough, the Golden Spirit Hamster's great love is alcohol even in preference towater. In fact, "spirit" in its name refers to the hamster's great love for alcohol and not to anyreligious or undead connection.

    The Golden Spirit Hamster has the unique characteristic of having a huge capacity for alcoholbeing able to drink its body weight in alcohol per day (although it expends about the sameamount as well). Furthermore, the Golden Spirit Hamster has an immunity to alcohol which hasno dire consequences (ie. intoxication, hang-overs, alcoholism) on the hamster as it does toother mammals.

    The hair of the hamster becomes more beautiful as he consumes alcohol turning from brown toa deep golden colour. The hair becomes more golden, more fluffy, and more silky. In fact, awell "feed" hamster's pelt can fetch a few platinum pieces.

    Another side-effect to drinking alcohol causes the Golden Spirit Hamster to purr. The purr isvery soothing, relaxing, calming, and hypnotic. A person becomes very peaceful and stressfree. A person's morale is modified by +5.

    The Golden Spirit Hamster's love of alcohol can make it quite a pest especially to those thatstore large quantities of alcohol. Wood is no barrier to the hamster and he will gnaw his waythrough wood to get to alcohol. With their high and quick reproduction (see Ecology), thehamster's can infest an area and become quite the pests destroying barrels and barrels ofalcohol. There are few things worse then finding beautiful, golden, purring hamsters at thebottom of a empty tun (250 gallon capacity) of wine.

    On the other hand, the Golden Spirit Hamster is a popular pet because it is clean andrelatively odourless, easy to take care of, and safe to handle. Many tavern patrons haveenjoyed buying a beer or glass of wine for the Golden Spirit Hamsters caged at the bar.Golden Spirit Hamsters must be kept in non-wood cages, preferably with solid bottoms, orthey will gnaw their way out. The floor of the cage should be covered with sawdust, woodshavings, and/or straw. In nature, the Golden Spirit Hamster makes its home in undergroundden where it is safe from attack by predatory birds such as hawks and owls. During cold timeslike the winter months, the Golden Spirit Hamster can reach a semi-dormant state but does notgo into complete hibernation.

    Ecology: A female can have four to five litters of six to eighteen young each year after a shortgestation period of six weeks. The life- span of the animals rarely exceeds three years.Natural enemies to the Golden Spirit Hamsters are birds of prey, felines, and largercarnivorous rodents.

    has been drugged, the snake will swallow it (thus, the prey die of suffocation). The snake will flee a

    drugged attacker. Those who are poisoned and save vs constitution will sleep for one turn. Those

    The scorpion snake is a vicious predator inhabiting temperate highlands. This creatureresembles a huge viper with green or brownish scales and a light brown underbelly. Thesnake has a massive set of pincers and a scorpion-like tail, making it look like a cross between

    a snake and a giant scorpion. These claws are not exoskeletal, however. They are coveredwith exceptionally thick scales, and the pincers consist of a sort of ivory instead of chitin. Thesecreatures are highly territorial, and intelligent enough to have developed strategies to defendtheir territory, land which they know very well. There are reports of an arctic species with a furry

  • 7/28/2019 Bitch AD&D NPC Class

    34/53

    COMBAT: This much-feared creature is cunning and dangerous in combat. It's thick scales afford

    excellent protection, and their intelligence often proves to be a rude, and often lethal, surprise to

    inexperienced foes. Their ability to detect magic (100 foot radius) and excellent senses make them

    difficult to surprise.

    Scorpion snakes are well armed, possessing both a venomous bite and sting. Anyone bitten

    or stung must save vs poison at -4 or die in 2-5 rounds. If the save is successful, the victim suffers

    2d8+8 points of damage, and is in pain for 1d8 hours (-4 on all rolls). The pain effects are not

    cumulative, but the damage is. If the snake rolls 4 above the required roll when biting a victim 2 sizes

    smaller, the snake has the option of swallowing the victim whole (he will suffocate unless he can

    escape). Scorpion snakes are immune to their own venom.

    The scorpion snake's claws are almost as fearful as it's deadly venom. Any strike that hits

    by 3 or more above the required to hit results in the victim being grasped. The dungeon master

    should roll to see where the claw hits, as this will effect the characters options. The other claw (andthe mouth and sting) can then hit with a +4 bonus. Any claw which has grasped automatically hits

    for each successive round. If a victim is grasped in both claws, the snake may rend on the same

    round and each subsequent round for 2d10 + 1/5 the snake's hit points. The snake may also

    constrict using whatever rules the dungeon master favours for these attacks. Any victim grasped in

    both claws loses all dexterity bonuses on armour class. The claws have an effective strength of 19.

    HABITAT: Scorpion snakes are either solitary, or mated pairs. Scorpion snakes mate for life. As

    was stated earlier, these creatures are territorial; when a pair are mated, they will live in the larger of

    the two territories. Unmated snakes will not tolerate snakes of the same sex in their territory.

    Territorial disputes are resolved by means of non-lethal combat (claws only) in which the first tograsp the other's head in both claws wins. The victor then either passes through unmolested, or

    claims all or part of the loser's territory. Territorial boundaries are marked with a special musk

    which identifies the owner. Creatures smaller than a large horse are considered game, and are usually

    ignored unless the snake is hungry. Larger creatures are seen as territorial rivals, and are attacked

    without mercy. Scorpion snakes speak their own language, and can be reasoned with if a way is

    found to communicate.

    ECOLOGY: Scorpion snakes are likely the creation of some insane wizard. Unlike most reptiles,

    they are warm-blooded and can survive cold conditions. At the end or Autumn, they will go on a

    killing spree, stocking up on food for the winter. The meat is preserved with the same musk oil thatis used for marking territory. Scorpion snakes are much prized for their many useful components.

    Claw ivory sells for 10 to 60 gold pieces per hit die of the snake, depending on quality. The venom

    is much prized by thieves and assassins, and can also be used to produce a powerful antidote to

    many toxins. The musk oil can be distilled into a variety of preservatives and tanning agents.

    Alchemists will pay handsomely for scorpion snake venom, musk or blood. The scales and hide

    make excellent armour as well. Many foolhardy adventurers have gotten themselves killed trying to

    make a quick gold piece hunting scorpion snakes.

    arranged around their head in such a manner that all around is constantly watched, because of this

    phuzz can never be surprised. Their large nose confers an excellent sense of smell and most creatures

    can be detected up to 240' away. Owing to their small size and their speed, phuzz surprises 4 in 6

    times. Phuzz are immune to all forms of fire, cold and electricity. In a phuzz village there is usually

    the following distribution phuzz ages:

    50 % 1/2 HD 20 % 1 HD 15 % 2 HD 10 % 3 HD 5 % 4 HD

    Appearance: When first hatched, the scales of a Pink Dragon are soft as felt (AC 10) but quickly

    harden about a half hour after hatching. As a Pink Dragon ages, its scales become brighter and

    brighter. The sight of a Great Wyrm Pink Dragon is slightly painful to the eyes. Pink Dragons

    speak Common, a Language common to all Evil Dragons and 25% of Hatchlings have the ability to

    communicate with all intelligent creatures, this chance increases by 2% for every age category of the

    Dragon.

    Combat: Pink Dragons are reluctant to enter close combat as they are quite vain, but will fight

    fiercely when angered. Pink Dragons love their breath weapon, though, and will use it before

    entering melee combat.

    The breath weapon of a pink dragon is a cone of flame 100' long and 10-80' wide. This breath

    does the listed damage save Versus. Breath weapon for half.

    Pink Dragons are immune to Fire and Heat at Hatchling and gain the following abilities as they

    age;

    - Burning Hand 1/day at very young

    - Mirror Image 2/day at Juvenile

    - Flame Strike 1/day at Adult

    - Pol mor h Other 3/da at Venerable

    Pink Dragons cast their spells at 7th level plus combat modifier.

    Habitat/Society: Pink Dragons consider themselves the most beautiful creatures in existence andwill work hard to maintain their beauty. Their treasure will often include many mirrors and other

    reflective surfaces. Many have considered Pink Dragons dainty, and have paid for that as they were

    engulfed in flames. Pink dragons are reluctant to fight hand to hand (or Claw to Claw), but will

    share their breath weapon freely. Insulting a Pink Dragon's appearance is almost certain doom (or a

    good fight). As a race, Pink Dragons feel insulted if they are not made into Armour when slain. If a

    Pink Dragon sees Adventurers walking away from the body of another Pink Dragon they have slain,

    he/she will become angry if the scales are left intact as this is considered a great insult.

    Ecology: Pink Dragons are health food fanatics, which is strange considering that their system can

    metabolise anything. They often eat salads, not realising that rock will do just as well, and tastebetter too. Since dragons have such highly efficient systems, they do not gain weight and thus the

    origin of this trait is quite mysterious.

    Appendix C: Getting a Feel For Your BitchNot all Bitches are alike. Below are the steps necessary to make a very unique and exciting Bitch.

    1) Choose an appropriate sex for the Bitch. Randomly, any female may be a Bitch, although a

    minority (1%) of gay males may be Bitches.

    2) Choose an appropriate race in respects to the environment (ie. area, population, politics, etc.).

    3) Generate ability scores as describe in your RPG system. The Bitches highest ability should

    probably be Vanity.

    4) Height and weight can be generated randomly using Table 3
