MONSTER DESCRIPTIONS: (Additions and Corrections)

VAMPIRES:
All vampires are affected by the cross, despite any former religious
background, as it is sovereign against them. It must be noted, however, that the Vampire
will not flee from such a symbol but merely try to position itself so that the cross (or
whatever) no longer interposes its powers between the Vampire and its intended prey.
There are other similar symbols of power vs. vampiric creatures, and they can be introduced
if the referee so desires. Vampires from the region of the Middle East are invisible,
but they are not able to Charm.

ELEMENTALS:
Elementals are impervious to normal weapons and to magical
weapons under +2. They are impervious to attack by creatures which do not have
magical abilities, i.e. Kobolds, Orcs, etc., unless the attacking creature is of 4 or more
HD in STR.

DRUIDS:
These men are priests of a neutral-type religion, and as such they differ
in AC & HD, as well as in movement capability, and are combination
clerics/MUs. Magic-use ranges from 5th to 7th level, while clericism ranges
from 7th to 9th level. Druids may change shape three times per day, once each to
any reptile, bird and animal respectively, from size  as small as a raven to as large as a
small bear. They will generally (70%) be accompanied by numbers of barbaric followers
(fighters), with a few higher-level leaders (2-5 fighters of 2nd-5th levels) and a body of
normal men (20-50).

TRITONS:
Similar to Mermen in appearance, Tritons are more powerful in all
ways. They range from 5-7 HD, and their ability to USE spells is commensurate with
their HD, ranging from 2nd to 4th level ability. Thus a 5 HD Triton could USE 5
spells up to 2nd level, a 6 HD Triton could USE 6 spells up to 3rd level, and a 7 HD
Triton could USE a total of 7 spells p to 4th level. They MOVE 15"/turn in water, but they
do not venture on land at all. When mounted on sea horses their movement increases to
24". AC varies from 6-4. Magical resistance is very high at 90%; in Lair 25%.
Treasure varies according to STR, 5 HD Tritons have Type F, 6 HD Tritons
have Type G, and 7 dice Tritons have Type H.
 

BUGBEARS:
These monsters are of the "giant class," being great hairy goblin-giants.
Despite their size and shambling gait, they MOVE very quietly, thus increasing
their chance to surprise a party by 16 2/3%.
 

OGRE MAGI:
These are properly Japanese Ogres, far more powerful than their
Western cousins! An Ogre Mage has the following abilities in addition to those of a normal
ogre: 1) become invisible; 2) fly, as a Flying spell allows: 3) cause darkness in a 1"
radius; 4) polymorph self into a human form; 5) regenerate at 1 point/melee round; 6)
employ a single Charm Person and a single Sleep spell once per day; and 7) use a Cold
spell of 8 dice value once per day. These abominations lure or raid for human
victims to pillage, devour, or enslave.
 

STORM GIANTS:
These creatures are found only in out-of-the-way places.
Typically their abode will be a castle built underwater or on a mountain or upon a cloud.
They are intelligent, about 24' tall, and 3+3 dice damage (unless the alternate
damage system is used). These giants are able to employ a Control Weather spell in order
to cause a storm--their favorite kind of weather--when angry or in battle.
 

SHADOWS:
Non-corporeal intelligent creatures which can be harmed only with
magical weawpons. They hunger after the life energy of living things, and their touch (any hit
scored) causes a loss of 1 point of STR due to the chilling effects of the touch.
This lasts for eight turns. If any creature is brought to 0 STR it becomes a Shaddow itself.
Shadows are not "Undead" per se, so they are not affected by items which affect that
class. Sleep and Charm spells do not work against Shadows.

TITANS:
Appearing as Giants, these creatures are far more handsome and intelligent.
In fact, Titans are typically more intelligent than men. They are equal to Storm
Giants in attack, although they may employ spells instad. Armor varies from class 2 to
-3. They normally MOVE 15" per turn, but certain Titans (10%) MOVE at 21" per TURN. HD
vary from 75 to 100 points possible damage. Spell USE incl. up to 7th level Cleric
and 7th level MU, total spells 2 per level. Usu. only 1 will appear, but there are 10 total.
    In lair 05%.
    Treasure Type A' +1.

WILL O'WISPS:
These creatures are highly clever and seek to lure their intended
victims into some spot where they will be trapped and expire, and when their life force
leaves them the Will O'Wisps feed upon this force. They commonly inhabit deserted
places which have areas of quicksand, mires and the like. Any metal weapon will harm a
Will O'Wisp--providing it can hit the creature. If cornered the Will W'Wisp will strike
at its opponents doing 2-12 points of electrical damage per hit. These creatures can alter
shape, become bright or dim, or disappear entirely at will. In order to save their lives
they will reveal where their treasure is hidden, but the Will O'Wisp has to be at 3 or
fewer HP to so reveal its treasure.

LICHES:
    These skeletal monsters are of magical origin, each Lich formerly being a
very powerful MU or MU/Cleric in life, and now alive only by means of
great spells and will because of being in some way disturbed. A Lich ranges from 12th
level upwards, typically being 18th level of Magic-Use. They are able to employ whatever
spells are usable at their appro. level, and in addition their touch causes
parlization, no save. The mere sight of a Lich will send creatures below 5th
level fleeing in fear.

HARPIES:
Harpies have the lower bodies of eagles and the upper bodies of humamn
females. They are always opposed to mankind and its like, and will attempt to kill all
they can. By means of their singing the Harpies lure men to them, then enchant them
with powerful charms, and kill and devour them. Any creatures not making its save
vs. magic will immed. proceed towards the Harpy, and if the Harpy touches it
it will Charm the creature.

DRAGONS
These additional varieties of Dragogns conform to the typical characteristics
of their species except where noted. There is only one King of Lawful Dragons,
just as there is only one Queen of Chaotic Dragons (Women's Lib may make whatever
they wish from the foregoing).

vs. Magic, with a 15% reduction of the chance to save if the Dragon is of middle
size (3-4) and a 30% if large (5-6). Note that the sleep affects all levels.

    Special Characteristics:
    Brass Dragons are found mainly in sandy desert regions.
    Copper Dragons are found primarily in aird, rocky places which are warm.
    Bronze Dragons will be found nea seacoasts, and those which are able to talk and
USE magic can make themselves appear in animal guise.
    Silver Dragons abide mainly in aerial domains, ie.e mountain peaks or clouds or
behind winds. If they are able to USE magic they are also able to appear in human guise,
usu. taking the form of an old man or a fair damsel.
    The Dragon King: The Platinum Dragon dwells  in a great palace behind the east
wind, although he may appear in more mundane places at times. He may Shape
Change freely, although none of the other 9th level spells are usable by him. The Dragon
King is served by a guard of seven Gold Dragons. His primary aim is to confront and
defeat the ruler and hosts of the Chaotic Dragons.
    The Dragon Queen: The Chromatic Dragon is a huge creature with five heads, one
of each color of the five Chaotic Dragons. Her body is striped in these same colors, and
her tail is that of a Wyvern. She can employ all heads at once, either to breath or CAST
spells. Her major abode is in a stupendous cavern far beneath the earth. Her guard consists
of five dragons, each of largest size, of the five Chaotic types of dragons. Her major
aim is to spread evil.

ARMOR CLASS:
NUMBER WHICH ARE LAWFUL/NEUTRAL:
BREATH WEAPON, RANGE AND SHAPE:
HIT DICE:
CHANCE OF TALKING/SLEEPING/SPELL USE/LEVEL:

LIZARD MAN:
These aquatic monsters hav ea rude intelligence, using weaopns
such as spears & clubs. They are fond of human flesh, and they will generally capture
as many humans as they can when offered the opportunity in order to take them to their
lair and have  atribal feast. They live either wholly under water or in very wet places (65%/35%).

DOPPLEGANGERS:
These are creatures with mutable form, able to shape themselves
into the double of any person that tey can observe. Once in this likeness they will
attack--or if psb. assume the role as well as the shape, and attack by suprise and at
great advantage. Dopplegangers are subject to neither Sleep or Charm spells. They ar e
also magic-resistant, saving against all forms of magical attack as if they were 10th level fighters.

LYCANTHROPES:
The Wererat or Rat Man has the general characteristics of all
Lycanthropes. They are extremely intelligent, and whenever psb. they will capture
and hold persons of ransom. They commonly employ all forms of weapons. They can
assume the shape of a normal man in order to dupe persons, but they prefer to maintain
a rat-like shape, although nearly man-sized. They MOVE very quietly (as a 7th level
Thief). They can control rats as a Vampire does.

LAMMASU:
These creatures are human-headed, winged lions which are highly
lawful in nature and very magical. These intelligent creatures will aid lawful persons,
protect them, and generally befriend them. Lammasu are able to 1) become invisible; 2)
Dimension Door; 3) use Cleric spells as if they were of 6th level Cleric status; and 4) continually
emanate a Protection From Evil 10' Radius. They speak all human languages
which are lawful or neutral in nature.

SALAMANDERS:
These a re form of free-willed Fire Elementals, and as such
conform generally to the characteristics of that type of creature. Salamanders are highly
intelligent. They are found in places of intense heat & fire since they prefer temperatures
ranging from 300 degrees upwards. They normally employ weapons. Their
touch alone causes 1-6 points of damage to creaturs subject to fire, and their snake-like
tail can constrict for 2-16 points of normal damage. Their upper body resembles a
human's, and its AC is 5, while the snake-like lower body has an AC of
3. Salamanders are chaotic.

BEHOLDERS: These monster are AKA Spheres of Many Eyes, or as Eye
Tyrants. The body of these creatures is a great globe of about 3' in diam.. Atop it are
ten eye stalks, while in the center of the spherical body is a great eleventh eye. The body
can sustain 40 points of damage, each eye stalk 10 points, and the central eye can
withstand up to 20 points. The AC of the body is 0, the eye stalks 2, and the eyes
proper 7. Each eye functioning is a different manner: From 1-4 of the small eyes are able to
function at one time.
 

Eye Number	Function
1	Charm Person Spell
2	Charm Monster Spell
3	Sleep Spell
4	Telekinesis
5	Flesh-Stone Ray
6	Disintegrate Ray
7	Fear Ray
8	Slow Spell
9	Serious Wound Spell
10	Death Ray
11	Anti-Magic Ray

    In addition, the Beholders are able to levitate themselves and float slowly about.
These monsters are avaricious. They are neutral in nature, although they tend to be
chaotic.

UMBER HULKS:
Of shape somewhat similar to humans, an Umber Hulk can be
mistaken int he dark for soemthing less deadly than it really is. Typically they are 8' tall,
5' wide, with heads resembling bushel baskets, and gaping maws flanked by pairs of xceedingly sharp
mandibles. It travels about on two legs. If it is viewed squarely its four eyes
cause confusion (save vs. magic or confused). Its claws are harder than iron, causing
terrible damage when used as weapons, but they are used primarily by the beast for
burrowing through rock (1'/turn). They prize highly human flesh.

DISPLACER BEASTS:
A Displacer Beast somewhat resembles a puma, although
it has six legs and two tentacles grow from its shoulders. It color is blackish, and its eyes
glow a hellish green. They always appear to be 3' from their actual position, so for purposes
of hitting them, or when they must make saves, they are treated as a man
wearing a displacer cloak as far as penalties and bonuses are concerned. Their magical
resistance is high, equalling that of a 12th level fighter. Its primary weapons of attack
are the two tentacles which are armed with rough, horney edges which inflict horrible
wounds. There is great enmity between Displacer Beasts and Blink Dogs.

BLINK DOGS:
Blink Dogs closely resemble African wild dogs, but they have high
INT and the ability to employ a limited teleportation. They travel in packs, and
when in combat they will teleport around their opponent(s) in a random fashion at random
intervals (die 1-8 for direction, 5 out of 8 indicates the creature is teleporting.
When reappearing they will come from 1' to 4' from their opponent(s), being able to attack
in the same TURN they teleported. This teleporting is known as "blinking." An inborn
instinct prevents a blink into a solid object. The entire pack will blink out of
seriously threatened, and they will not reappear. Blink Dogs are basically lawful and
will always attack Displacer Beasts.

HELL HOUNDS:
These are reddish-brown hounds of evil disposition which have
the ability to breath fire. The damage caused by their fiery breath corresponds to the
# of HD they have; HD range from a low of 3 to a high of 7 (6-sided dice).
They move with great stealth, and they are able to detect hidden and invisible objects/creatures
75% of the time. They are often found as companions of Fire Giants.
They are fairly intelligent.

PHASE SPIDERS:
Although these monsters appear to be nothing more than very
great spiders, they are something quite beyond this. When attacking or being attacked,
the Phase Spider is able to shift out of phase with its surroundings, bringing itself back
only when it is ready to deliver its poisonous bite. When out of phase they are impervious
to nearly all forms of attack, although a Phase Door spell will cause one to remain in
phase for 7 melee rounds. Oil of Etherealness and Armor of Etherealness also put their
wearers into the same phase as this monster when it shifts out of phase.

RUST MONSTERS:
These seeming in offensive creatures are the bane of metal with a ferrous content,
for as their name implies they have the effect of rust upon such
substances, and this happens narly instantaneously. Any hits by or upon a Rust Monster
cause even magical weapons to rust and fall to flakes. Armor is affected in a like
manner. The creature is very fast, being attracted to the smell of the iron-based metals,
and when alone it will devour the rust it has causeed.

STIRGES:
Large, bird-like monsters with long, dangling proboscuses, the Stirges
might call to mind evil-looking, feathered ant eaters. Stirges are attracted to warm-blooded
creatures, and when a hit is scored by one it indicates it has attached itself to its
prey in order to suck its blood. Thereafter it will drain the blood at the rate of 1-4
points/melee round until the prey is a bloodless corpse, the Stirge growing bloated in the
process and moving out of the AREA to digest its repast. Note: Stirges are considered as
attackings as 4th level fighters for purposes of determination of attachment although
they have but 1 HD.

GIANT TICK:
These are simply over-grown insects which live on the blood and/or
sap of other living things. A hit by one of these large monsters indicates it has attached itself,
and it will thereafter drain blood at the rate of 4 points/melee round until its victim is dead.
They must be killed or forced to detach themselves by fire in order to save
the creature to which they have attached themselves. It is also necessary to Cure Disease
after a  hit by a Giant Tick, or the creature hit will spread a disease which will pove fatal
in 2-8 days. Giant Ticks are ambulatory and pursue, as well as DROP upon, their prey.

OWL BEARS:
Creatures of horrid visage and disposition, Owl Bears will attack
whatever they see and fight to the death. They deliver a "hug" just as a Werebear, for
example, as well as great damage from beak, tooth, and claw. A large male will stand 8'
tall, weigh 1,500 pounds, and have claws over 2" long. Bodies are furry, tending towards
feathers over the cranial region, and the skin is very thick.

CARRION CRAWLERS: These scavengers will usu. attack in order to insure
that there will continue to be a supply of corpses to scavenge. They are worm-shaped,
about 9' in length, 3' high at their head end, and MOVE quickly on multiple legs. Their
mouths are surrounded by eight tentacles of about 2' length, and their touch causes
paralization (save vs. or paralized). The Carrion Crawler is able to climb/MOVE along
walls or ceilings as readily as floors, thus allowing it to compete with Ochre Jellies, Black (or Gray) Puddings,
and the like.

GELATINOUS CUBES:
As their name implies, these monsters are shaped very
much like cubes, typically being about 10' per side so as to be able to SWEEP clean of all
living materials (as well as dead cells) the floor & walls of the layrinthine dungeon
passages. Any flesh which comes in contact with a Gelatinous Cube becomes
anesthetized unless a save vs. paralization is made. The touch also causes 2-8
points of damage as the creature seeks to dissolve & devour flesh. These creatures are
subject to normal weapons and fire, but lightning, cold, paralization, fear, and polymorph
attacks do not harm them. Many 'Cubes have rich treasures within their semi-transparent
bodies, for they pick up metallic and otherwise non-digestible objects in
their rounds, and these items often remain within the body for long periods of time
before being redeposited.

GIANT SLUGS:
Because of their size & structure, these beasts are not affected
by blunt weaopnis, so they must be atttacked by sharp-edged ones or magically. They have
thick, rubbery hide, and their tremendous power allows them to break down doors with
ease. Giant Slugs are able to eat substances like wood or burrow through very hard earth
using their rasp-like tongues. Although they are of great bulk, Giant Slugs are able to
squeeze through very narrow or very low openings, for they have no bones to prohibit
such alteration ofshape. Although able to bite with effect, the major weapon of these
creatures is a highly acid saliva which they are able to spit with considerable accuracy at
great distances. Normal range is 6", with a basic 50% chance of striking their TARGET. For
every 1" the range is lessend the base chance of hitting is increased by 10%; ranges over 6"
decrease the probability of hitting by 10%. Fortunately, the Giant Slug is always inaccurate
on its first attack, and there is only a 10% chance of hitting its TARGET on the
first spitting of acid; once the range is then determined, second and following attacks are
at normal probabilities. As they are of great size these creatures can sometimes be
caught in a narrow corridor where they are unable to TURN, and if they are then attacked
from behind they can often be slain without loss to the attackers.

EXPLANATIONS OF MAGIC ITEMS: (Additions)

SWORDS:

    Sword +2, Nine Steps Draining Ability: This Weapon appears to be a typical +2
sword, but it also drains energy in progressive steps from 1 to 9 on any hit of 20. Thus, on
the first time a 20 is scored it will drain 1 level, the next time it will drain 2, and so on until
on the ninth 20 it will drain 9 levels! It thereafter reverts to a normal +2 sword and
can never be made anything else.

    Holy Sword +5: As a Holy Sword this weapon will display its true worth only in the
hands of a Paladin. Wielded by a Paladin it negates all spells (incl wands &
staves and he like) in a radius of 1", thus making the Paladin virtually magic-proof.

    Sword of Cold: In addition to the bonus shown vs. creatures of fiery origin, the
weawpon scores triple damage whenever a 20 is rolled. It is able to dispell a Wall of Fire and
gives its user the same prot. as a Ring of Fire Resistance.

    Dragon Slaying Sword +2: Determine what type of Dragon this sword is meant to
be used against primarily (the +2 applies to all types, of course), and it hits such a
dragon it does 4-40 points of damage.

    Sword +1, Cursed: Once grasped, this weapon will never willingly leave the holder's
hand, and it will immed. force him to seek battle w/ as many monsters as psb.
A Remove Curse || a Wish (Limited incl.) will remove the influence.

    Sword +1, Cursed: As above.

    Dancing Sword: The Dancing Sword is a truly marvelous weapon. It has a basic
bonus of +3, and in addition after being used in melee for three rounds it will leave the
hand and fight on its own. When the sword is so "dancing" it cannot be hit, and it fights
just as if its owner were wielding it, i.e. if he is a 6th level fighter it will fight as a 6th level
fighter. The sword will so "dance" for three more melee rounds, during which time its
owner can employ some other weapon or psb. step out of combat. After each three
rounds of "dancing" it will return to its owner for three rounds.

    Sword of Sharpness: This is another Holy Sword, and although it has only a +1
bonus hit probability any attack employing it which scores 20% (4 or better), over the
req. #, or a 19 or 20 in any event, indicates it has severed a limb || a neck --
in cases of multiple possibilities assign probabilities and dice to see what the result is.
Like the Holy Sword +5 it performs this function, as well as the function of anti-magic,
only in the hands of a Paladn.

    Vorpal Blade: The Vorpal Blade differs from a Sword of Sharpness in several ways:
        1) its bonus hit probability is +2
        2) it needs only 10% over the req. score to hit, or an 18 through 20 ni any any event
            to sever, and it will always sever the neck; and
        3) it will perform in the hands of any L F, although it req. a PAL
            in order to act in its anti-magic capacity.

ARMOR:

    Armor/Shield +4: These items are magical in nature and made of mithral.

    Armor/Shield +5: These items are magical in nature and made of a strange alloy known as "adamantite."

    Shield of Missile Attraction -1: This item will appear to be a perfectly genuine +1 to
        +5 shield until missiles from true enemies are shot at its user in anger. It will attract
        such missiles and reduce the person's AC by 5% (-1).

    Armor of Vulnerability: Armor which seems to be genuine magic armor with a
        prot. factor of +1 to +4, but it is actually -1 to -4. The vulnerability of such armor
        will not be revealed until an enemy strikes a blow in anger at its wearer.

    Armor of Etherealness: The most magical of all forms of armor, this suit of plate
        allows the wearer to TAKE either of 2 options:
            1) he can either wear it as normal +3 armor; or
            2) he can decide to become ethereal.
        In the latter case he can MOVE through solid objects
        and is subject to attack only by those creatures which are able to also become out of
        phase and spells such as Phase Door will negate the etherealness of the armor. Attacks
        while ethereal are not psb. The armor can be made ethereal a total of 49 times, and
        then it becomes merely +3 armor. It can never be either recharged or restored.
 

MISCELLANEOUS WEAPONS:

    Arrows of Slaying: Special magical arrows which are specifically enchanted to slay
monsters with a single hit. The DM may distinguish them by basic types if he wishes,
or they may each slay any monster. Basic types would be: Giant Class, Undead Class,
Flying Monsters, Other Monsters, Enchanted Monsters (Invisible Stalkers, Elementals,
Golems, Aerial Servants, and so on).

    Crossbow of Speed: When employing this weapon thie user can get his missile shot
away from the crosbow despite surprise. It otherwise allows +3 on init. dice. It fires
as quickly as a bow, for it cocks itself.

    Crossbow of Distance: A magical weapon which has double the range of a normal
light crossbow, thus short range is 12".

    Mace of Disruption:  A mace which appears to be nothing more than a +1 mace,
but when it strikes any Undead creature it will disrupt its molecular structure unless the
creature is able to save on the Clerics vs. Undead Monsters as if attacked by a
Patriarch, i.e. a Vampire must roll 7 or better, a Spector must roll a 9 or better, a Mummy
must roll 11 or better, and all other Undead are automatically disrupted.

    Cursed Spear of Backbiting: This weapon appears to be a +1, +2 or +3 magic
spear until it is used in anger in melee against an enemy. At that time if it is thrown it
will curve and strike at its thrower's back; if thrust it will curl in an arc and stab at its
user.

    POTIONS:

    Extra-Healing: A Healing potion which cures 3-18 points of damage.

    Oil of Slipperiness: Rather than being used as a potion, this must be rubbed over
the body. When so anointed a person will not be subject to webs, strands, tied knots,
hugs and the like. The oil takes 24 hours to wear off, or it can be removed with wine at
will.

    Super-Heroism: A potion which resembles Heroism except that it increases 1st-3rd
level fighters by 4 levels, 4th-7th level fighters by 3 levels, and 8th-11th level fighters by 2
levels.

    Oil of Etherealness: When anointed with this substance the user is able to go
through solid substances at will as if he wore Armor of Etherealness. Note that when so
anointed the used is not able to handle normal objects as his hands simply pass through
them.

    RINGS:

    Shooting Stars: This ring functions only during the hours of darkness when the
wearer is under the open sky. It will cast Light spells for a distance of 24", throw a fireball
of 12 points damage, or hurl a soild missile of 12 points damage.

    Contrariness: When this ring is put on it cannot be removed without a spell to
Remove Curse, and the wearer will not wish to remove the ring. It makes the wearer absolutely
contrary, and he will act in the opposite fashion of normal/requested.

    WANDS, STAVES, AND RODS: Unlike Wands and Staves, Rods typically have but 25
charges unless otherwise noted. They may be recharged.

    Staff of Striking: (Correction) The staff does require the use of an energy charge
each time it is used, and this also applies to the striking functions of Staves of Power and
Wizardry.

    Rod of Cancellation: A staff-like device which functions but once. It is wielded as if
it were a Staff of Striking, and if it scores a hit on any magic item it causes the item
struck to lose all of its magical properties permanently.

    Rod of Beguiling: By using this item all enemies in a radius of 20' are beguiled into
believing that its owner is their most trusted friend or respected mentor. Beguilement
lasts from 4 to 16 turns.

    Rod of Absorption: This instrument allows its owner to employ it in a manner so as
to absorb hostile spells directed at him. The rod then allows its user to redirect a similar
or different spell back at the enemy who originated the spell. Thus, if the rod absorbed a
5th level spell its user could redirect any spell up to 5th level, so long as he knew the spell
to be redirected. The Rod of Absorption will absorb up to 100 spell levels either as 100
1st level spells, 50 2nd level spells, and so on. Once the rod has absorbed 100 spell levels
it will no longer function, although it will continue to discharge spells until all spell
levels formerly absorbed are used up. It cannot be recharged or reused thereafter.

    Rod of Lordly Might: Although this weapon appears to be some form of Staff or
Rod for magical employment, it is a fighter's arm. When being carried it is a mere 4' in
length, but by merely pressing a catch a 2' blade (glaive-guisarme) springs forth from its
end; pusing the catch a second time extends the rod to 15'. When the blade is out the
handle can also be shortened to 1' or 2'. A second catch causes the rod to extend up to
50' in length, while three inch long projections sprout from its sides at intervals proper
for climbing, and the spike of the blade fastens it securely even in granite, so an excellent
mode of ascent is provided. The Rod of Lordly Might also has highly magical properties.
At a word of command it acts as a Flaming Sword, overall length 3½'; at nother command
it becomes the equal of a +2 axe, overall length 2½'; and when it is extended to 6'
or greater length it will function as a +3 spear. Furthermore, in any of these capacities it
will have the following effect upon enemies: All threatened by it must save vs.
Paralization, or be paralized; and if they do save they must make a second save
vs. fear, or else run away. If both saves are made they need not check again during the
encounter.

    Rod of Rulership: When employed this device allows its user to command a
multitude of creatures, regardless of their intelligence or size. The # of creatures
which it will influence is variable, ranging from 200 to 500 levels, i.e. from 400 to 1,000
Kobolds, 200 to 500 Orcs, 100 to 250 Gnolls, or even a single creature of 200 or more
dice! Its power extends in a radius of 10'. It lasts 10 turns. It has 10 charges only and
cannot be recharged.

    Rod of Resurrection: A rod which allows its user to resurrect just as if he were a
<>
 

MISCELLANEOUS MAGIC

    Crystal Hypnosis Ball: A trick device indistinguishable from a deirable Crystal
Ball. It will hypnotise its user and leave in such a state from 3-24 turns, unless there
is also a Magic Mouth spell placed upon the item. In the latter case the user of the item
will carry out the instructions given by the Magic Mouth immed., conforming to the
limits given for a Suggestion spell.

    Medallion of Thought Projection: This item is indistinguishable from an ESP
Medallion. It operates in the reverse of the latter, however, projecting the wearer's
thoughts to any creatures behind doors or walls within its range. I functions as an ESP
Medallion on a roll of 6, as well as wehn it is tried for the first time.

    Amulet of Inescapable Location: This item is indistinguishable from an Amulet vs.
Crystal Balls && ESP. It is the reverse of the latter, however, and its wearer located with
ease.

    Scarab of Enraging Enemies: This device causes all enemies within a 6' radius of its
wearer to become completely enraged when it is uncovered. There is a 50% chance that
they will simply attack the nearest creature to them, friend || foe. The effects of this
device last for 6 turns. Enraged enemies will never check morale and will fight until
dead. It contains 24 charges.

    Scarab of Insanity: Similar to the Scarab of Enraging Enemies, this device causes all
creatures within a 3" radius to fall into total insanity for 12 turns when the scarab is
displayed. All creaturse with 10 or HD have a 25% chance of resisting insanity.
The device contains 12 charges.

    Scarab of Death: A scarab which appeas to be any of the other types, but when it is
held in the hand for a full TURN, or when it is placed in a pack, a bag, or some other place
near a person's body it turns to a horrible burrowing monster which digs directly to the
person's heart and kills him.

    Bag of Tricks: When looked into this bag seems empty, but when a player reaches
inside he may pull out any one of the following beasts. However, he may pull out no
other until the one has been killed in combat. The animal pulled out will fight for the
owner of the bag, and when it is killed it disappears back into the bag, and the very same
animal may be pulled forth again:
 

Die Roll	Animal	AC	Damage Caused	HD
1	Bear	5	1-3/1-3/2-8 + hug	6
2	Lion	6	1-4/1-4/1-10	5
3	Bull	6	1-6/1-6	4
4	Ram	7	2-8	3
5	Wolf	7	1-6	2
6	Jackal	8	1-2	½

    Bean Bag: Another apparently empty bag, but when reaching inside its owner will
find a number of beans. These must be taken to a patch of soil and planted. There is an
80% chance that all but 1 will bring monsters or various curses, a 90% chance that only 2
are beneficial, and only on a roll of 00 will 3 be beneficial. Max. # of beans is
optional, but 6 recommended. The referee must decide on what treasures and monsters/curses
will be gained when the beans are planted, as space does not permit us to list
the many possibilities here.

    Bag of Transmuting: A bag which appears to be a Bag of Holding, but it turns
precious metals to lead. It will hold as much as a bag of holding, but after being loaded
it will burst asunder in about 10 turns.

    Bag of Devouring: An empty bag which is actually the xtension of an ultra-dimensional
monster. Anything placed inside which is devoured in 7-12 turns. Its
capacity is the same as a Bag of Holding, and it emanates an aura of magic.

    Censor of Summoning Hostile Air Elementals: The user of this item conjures an Air
Elemental which immediately attacks him.

    Luckstone: A stone resembling a Stone Controlling Earth Elementals which, when
carried on his person, adds to its owners luck from 5% to 20%; so when any rolls for
treasure, either determination or division, are made he will gain any more favorable
result if it is psb. by adding from 5% to 20% to his roll. The most favorable will
always be gained.

    Loadstone: A stone which appears to be a Luckstone until the owner is being pursued
by hostile enemies/monsters. In the case of such pursuit the Loadstone slows his
movement by 50%.

    Brazier of Sleep Smoke: Indistinguishable from its cousin which commands Fire
Elementals, this device emits a smoke which casues all in a 1" radius to sleep until a
Dispell Magic is used to awaken them. Note that a M-U must conjure over it as if
he were summoning an Elemental.

and they will continue to so function until their wearer is in a situation where an enemy is
in pursuit with intent to kill or some similar situation. When this happens the boots
cause the feet of the wearer to dance a jig, soft shoe, tap, and an occasional Shuffle off
to Buffalo. Naturally, he is then unable to flee or otherwise escape.

    Flask of Curses: This container looks just like the bottles, jugs, decanters, and

is recommended as a good START for a list of psb. curses.

Otherwise it will provide the following benefits to its wearer: It acts as a double value
Ring of Fire Resistance. It creates a Wall of Fire around its wearer upon command.
Fighters wearing it may command any sword they hold to flame, thus gaining the
benefits of a Flaming Sword in addition to any other magical properties which the sword
might possess. M-Us wearing it add +1 to each die of Fire Ball spells CAST by
them. Clerics are empowered to CAST double the number of Light and/or Continual Light
spells they would normally have as well as cause inflammable objects within 3" of them

until they are used in a situation where an enemy is attacking, a hostile monster is in

if he were a Vampire.

from Eyes of Charming, puts them on he is immed. turned to stone.

    Gem of Brightness: If looked into this stone reduces the looker's hit probabilities by
20% (1-4) permanently. A Cure Serious Wound spell will remove this blindness. A

10' deep. THe hole can be picked up from the inside or outside, thus
either "pulling it in after you" or folding it and storing it like a scarf. There is no oxygen

held door or portal to open. It is silver and jewel encrusted, and if not used it may be sold

Horn of Blasting for 6 turns. When played to build treat it as if 100 men had labored for a
week. In its first capacity it is playable once per day; in its second it is usable twice per
week.

    Figurines of Wondrous Powers: These figurines do various things.

    Ebony Fly is a tiny figurine of a fly which upon command grows to gigantic size. A
man may ride upon its back and travel at the SPEED of a Dragon (24"/turn). It will shrink
back to tiny size upon command also. The fly has an AC of 5 and 4 HD. If it
is killed it is destroyed. Usable once per week for up to one day's time.

    Marble Elephant is a statuette about the size of a person's hand. Upon command it
will grow to the size of the largest elephant (10' tall and over 6 tons weight) and transport
the owner and others, or serve as a war elephant or fighter in general, for up to one week's
time. AC is 4, and its HD are 8. If killed the figurine is destroyed. It
shrinks upon command also. It can be used once per month.

    2 Golden Lions are small figurines when tossed into a melee become real
lions and fight for their possessor until slain. In the latter event they return to their
original state as figuines and may be picked up as such. They are usable once per week.

    Onyx Dog is a small statuette that has the combined power of a Hell Hound's
sensing ability and a Robe of Eyes. When performing alive and in this capacity it will not
stop until it has found what the wielder of the statuette wants. It will perform this duty
12 times and then refert to a normal statuette without magical powers. If killed (treat as
a regular wolf for attack/defense 2-8 HP) all magical properties are lost forever.

    3 Ivory Goats are separate carvings, each with a different purpose. The correct one
must be grasped in order to have it do the desired thing. After use the statuette reverts to
a non-magical figurine. THE GOAT OF FLEEING grows to a large animal which
travels at 48"/turn even with two riders upon its back. It will travel until it reacehs the
haven named or for one full day. THE GOAT OF FIGHTING grows to a bull-sized
animal with an AC of 2 and 10 HD. It gets 4 attacks/turn: 2 for each horn
which are capable of 2-16 points of damage each, and 2 for each front hoof which are
capable of from 1-8 points of damage each. If it charges into battle an additional 5-20
points of damage are given to whatever creature it impacts against, horn damage is
added, and hoof attacks are ignored that round. THE GOAT OF SLAYING becomes a
horse equivalent to a Paladin's mount, while the former horns of the statuette become a lance
which delivers double damage upon whatever it srikes and a sword which delivers
quadruple damage, when a monster is confronted. If either the possessor of the figurine
or the monster is slain, the magical weapons and the horse resume goat-like shape and
all magical properties are forever lost.

    Wizard's Robe: When garbed in this robe a Wizard has a 95% chance of success
when casting the following spells: Charm, Hold, Polymorph. There is a 60% chance the
robe will be white (Lawful); a 30% chance it will be gray, and a 10% chance it will be
Chaotic (black).

    Robe of Blending: This garment is an almost perfect camouflage device, for the
wearer matches his surroundings when garbed in the robe. Thus, if in a rocky AREA he
resembles a rock, among Orcs the Orcs believe him to be one of their number, and so on,
even to having a correct odor. Creatures above the 10th level, or with 11 HD or that
equivalent, have a 10% chance/level or die above 10 of detecting a Robe of Blending,
and rechecks must be made every 6 turns if the wearer lingers within the area of such
creatures. Friendly members of the wearer's party, if any, can detect him without difficulty.

    Robe of Eyes: Invisibility, Disappearance Dust, or even a Robe of Blending are
useless against any Magic-User cloaked with this garment. He views 24' in all directions
as if Appearance Dust covered wherever his alighted. The hundreds of eyes which
adorn the robe make detection unavoidable. He can track enemies to their hiding places
if they have passed the spot within one day's time. Ambush and surprise is not possible
when a Robe of Eyes is worn, for its wearer easily detects hidden enemies.

    Robe of Powerlessness: A garment which resembles any one of the other robes listed
above, but when it is slipped on the wearer becomes weak, stupid and foolish. Any spells
known are forgotten. It requires a Remove Curse to be able to shed this robe.

Golem. Any Fighting Man or Thief who handles the Manual of GOlems will take from 5-

take 4-40 points of damage. Fighting Men suffer no damage when handling it and cannot
understand its contents. M-Us who read it suffer 5-20 points of damage and
the loss of 10,000 XP.

    Book of Vile Darkness: The reverse of the Book of Exalted Deeds, except that a
Lawful Cleric will be driven permanently insane if he reads it, and a Neutral Cleric
stands a 50% chance of becoming permanently Chaotic. Thieves who read this unspeakable
text have a like chance of becoming permanently Chaotic, and they take 2-20
points of damage in any event. Lawful Fighting Men who handle it take 5-30 points of
damage, and Paladins must have a Remove Curse and Dispell Evil and Bless spells read
over them within 24 hours or else they lose their Paladinhood forever.

    Book of Infinite Spells: Any non-M-U takes 5-20 poitns of damage when
initially handling this work, but thereafter may handle it unharmed. It has 24 pages, at
least 6 of which are blank. From 3-18 spells can be contained therein. These spells can
be either Magical (70%) or Clerical (30%). They can be of any level. When a page with a
spell upon it is turned to the possessor of the work is able to cast as many of these spells as
he wishes -- providing that the spell is one which he could otherwise use, i.e. M-Us
cannot use a Cleric spell and the reverse holds true. If the page is turned it can
never be turned back. Each time a spell is used from this book there is a 10% (non-cumulative)
that the page will turn of its own accord. Of course, wind, accidental turning,
and t he like can cause the pages to turn also. The possessor need not have the

    NOTE: All  Manuals,  Books,  Librams,  and Tomes listed above are indistinguishable
from one another until opened. Their covers are blank and impenetrable
by either Commune or Contact Higher Plane spells, although a wish will
reveal its general contents, and a second Wish would reveal its exact nature. After being
read by one individual the work vanishes completely, unless the reader gained no benefit
from the contents. In the latter case he cannot rid himself of the item and must hide it
away and guard it against USE by someone who would gain from it.
