 ADVENTURES DARK AND DEEP™ Bestiary
Introduction
ADVENTURES DARK AND DEEP is a fantasy role-playing game. One player, the
game master, designs the world in which the other players find themselves.
The players set forth to explore the world and its locales, encountering its
various creatures and other inhabitants, engaging in acts of derring-do and
hopefully coming away with rich treasures and tales to astound the folks back
at the tavern. Eventually they can work their way up to becoming Lords and
Ladies themselves, ruling their own lands and setting the stage for the next
generation of adventurers.
This book contains a variety of different creatures, people, and beings with
whom the players in the game can have their characters interact. Such
interactions are the heart of the game, bringing it from the mundane realm into
the fantastic.
How to Read a Creature Entry
A typical entry in this book will consist of a block of numerical or other statistics,
followed by text explaining the creature’s general nature, how it performs in
combat, and what it looks like. The block will have the following entries:
Number is the number of creatures that will usually be encountered. Note
that if the game master says there are a different number of some creature in
e
a particular area, or in a particular encounter, then so be it. The numbers are
given only as guidelines (which is something that can apply to most of the
information herein).
Morale is the modifier the creature uses when making a morale check. A plus
is a bonus (indicating the creature is particularly brave or savage), while a
pl
minus is a penalty (indicating the creature is easily frightened, normally
pacifistic, etc.). A few creatures will have a modifier of n/a, which indicates
they never fail a morale check, no matter what.
Hit Dice is the number and of dice that should be rolled for each individual
creature to determine its hit points. This will also determine what column the
creature will use when in combat. The first number is the number of hit dice,
followed by “d” and then the type of hit dice. For example, 6d10 means the
creature has six hit dice, and 10-sided dice are rolled to determine the number
m
of hit points the creature has. Player characters and non-player characters will
use whichever hit dice are suitable for their character class (i.e., an NPC elf
mage would still use d4’s for his hit dice, rather than d8).
Armor Class is self-explanatory. Note that most creatures will not actually be
wearing armor unless specified in the text.
Move is the speed of the creature, given in feet per minute. If the creature has
a special means of locomotion (swimming, flying, etc.) that will also be given.
Sa
For flying creatures, their maneuverability class is also given (perfect, good,
average, poor, or clumsy).
Magic Resistance is the chance that a given creature will be able to ignore
magic spells cast specifically upon it. It does not apply to spells that effect an
area (such as fireball or earthquake), but it can be used by a creature to
overcome spells (such as hold portal) cast on a specific object. Note that
magic resistance is in addition to any saving throws to which the creature may
be entitled.
A creature with magic resistance A has a 55% resistance to spells cast by 1st
level spellcasters, a 60% resistance to spells cast by 2nd level spellcasters, etc.
A creature with magic resistance B has a 60% resistance to spells cast by 1st
level spellcasters, a 65% resistance to spells cast by 2nd level spellcasters, etc.
See Appendix D for details.
1
No. of Attacks is the number of times the creature can strike in a single
round of combat. Usually (but not always) if a creature has more than one
attack, they will be used against the same target.
Damage is the amount of damage, in hit points, caused by each of the
creature’s normal attacks. It does not include special attacks, and if creatures
are able to use weapons, the phrase “per weapon type” will be used to
indicate that the game master should look up the damage inflicted by the
e
appropriate weapon, as listed in the ADVENTURES DARK AND DEEP™ Players
Manual.
Damage Bonus for Huge Creatures (Optional
Rule)
fil
Game masters wishing to make their games more deadly may wish to make
large and powerful creatures tougher by granting to them a damage bonus.
This bonus would apply to all strikes with melee weapons or hands/fists/etc.
and would be equal to +1 h.p. per hit die of the creature. Thus, a creature
with 9d10 hit dice would get a +9 bonus to damage. This rule would only
apply to creatures that are both large and strong, such as ogres, giants, trolls,
balor demons, etc. The game master is warned, however, that doing so will
increase his game’s mortality rate, sometimes significantly.
Defenses are special defenses that the creature possesses. They can be
magical in nature or not, and will be fully explained in the text, if needed. It is
not related to armor class (unless specified in the text).
Attacks are special attacks that the creature possesses. Like defenses, they
can be either magical or mundane, and explanations will be given in the text,
if needed. They are not related to the regular attacks that a given creature gets
(unless otherwise specified). Note that a creature with a magical ability will
usually not be able to use that ability more than once per round, and if able
to use more than one, must choose which one to use in a given round. Abilities
that are listed as being usable “at will” are not subject to this restriction, and
can be considered “on” whenever the creature desires them to be, with no
concentration. There is no “casting time” for such innate abilities, which
differentiates them from the character class abilties that some creatures may
also possess.
Temporary Level Drain (Optional Rule)
Game Masters may, at their discretion, rule that the experience level drain
accompanying the touch of certain undead such as specters and vampires is
temporary, lasting only for 1d6 days, after which time the lost levels will be
regained, along with all lost hit points and abilities thereof. Such a rule should
be applied consistently, however; it should not be the case that some specters
inflict a temporary level loss and others inflict one which is permanent. Death
through such loss would, naturally, preclude any such automatic restoration.
The same rule may be applied to other level-draining undead such as wights
and vampires. If this rule is used, the X.P. value of the creature should be
lowered accordingly.
Weaknesses refers to any special weaknesses the creature possesses, such
as vulnerability to fire, sunlight, etc. It generally refers only to attack types that
cause additional damage to the creature; if something is immune to most
attacks, but not a certain type, that would not count as a “weakness” unless
that certain type of attack did extra damage or had a better than normal
chance of success.
Size is the size category of the creature, which is used in a number of different
capacities, such as determining how much damage a weapon does. S, M,
and L represent small, medium (or man-sized), and large. The actual size of
 Introduction - Shaman

the creature (in feet) is usually also given. Note that these represent typical
sizes; specimens larger or smaller can also be encountered. Size classification
isn't strictly related to height. Especially at the margins (4'-6'), it's a much more
subjective measure of relative bulk. So a very “beefy” creature could be
classified as large, while a more slender creature of the same height could be
classified as medium.
Intelligence is the intelligence score of the creature. This is exactly the same
as that described in the Adventures Dark and Deep Players Manual. Note that
be found (some creatures will not have weapons, for instance, and some will
have a certain number of potions), simply ignore rolls that do not apply.
Refer to the treasure tables in the ADVENTURES DARK AND DEEP™ Game
Masters Toolkit to determine the specific treasure the creature possesses.
Remember that intelligent creatures won’t keep their magical items locked
away in a treasure chest -- they will use them!
X.P. Value is the number of experience points that all those involved in

creatures with an intelligence of 0 cannot be affected by mind-affecting
magical effects such as charm, illusions, etc.
Alignment is the moral alignment of the creature, as described in the Players
Manual. Most animals and unintelligent monsters will be neutral, not out of any
moral conviction, but merely from a lack of any moral awareness at all.
e
defeating a creature earn. Note that “defeating” is not the same as killing; it
is very possible to force a creature to surrender, and thus earn the full x.p.
value. Avoiding a creature, either by fooling it and stealing its treasure, by
evading a pursuing creature, etc. should earn from 25% - 50% of the total,
depending on the circumstances and difficulty.
