Level 1 Dungeon Denizens

MONSTERS - Addendum, eratum, and information for the GM.

Here is a listing of the Mosters occupying level one of the Refuge. Keep in mind that these monsters are described in general terms, and in some instances my house rules have been used in order to avoid possible copyright infringement. If you wish to run this adventure as intended you would need to use the AD&D® Monster Manual in conjunction with these partial descriptions. Note however, that it is possible to play/run this adventure/scenario without the official AD&D® rules, as an experienced GM should have little difficulty converting the Mosters listed here to a form compatible with the game system they choose to use.

If you would like to use my house rules while running this scneario. Or need to know some specifics in order to convert these stats to a differnet system, consult the links listed at the bottom of this page for further clarification of the pertinent house rules.

If the characters physical strength is reduced to 0, or the character is reduced to 0 Vitality, then that character will become a Shadow. The physical body will melt away in a gruesome display while the newly 'born' Shadow will seek to slay any living companions. If a character survives the attack of a Shadow then his/her Physical Strength will return to normal within 20 to 80 minutes. A weapon of +1 or better enchantment is neede to harm these dark denizens.

It has ESP and the ability to imitate the outward appearance and mannersims of anyone observed with an uncanny 90% accuracy. Dopplegangers make resistance checks as if they were 10th level warriors. This Doppleganger will do it's best to infiltrate the party. Striking when the party is most vulnerable. VP's 26 ....Still under construction....
