What lack of responsibility! Don't you realize Kmunoz is releasing lots of dangerous critters who are putting more and more GURPS Player Characters in mortal danger?

This is a fiendish contribution to GURPS community!

BTW, thank you Kmunoz.

kmunoz, maybe you want to include in ICFTF this Ettin (a two headed sort of giant), created by the fellow community member mlangsdorf and posted here with the due permission.

Its format is the Dungeon Fantasy one:


Ochley and Leyoch (Ettin)

ST: 50 HP: 50 Speed: 4.50
DX: 9 Will: 8/Fear 11 Move: 13
IQ: 8 Per: 9 Weight: Lots and lots
HT: 9 FP: 15 SM: 3
Dodge: 7 Parry: 9 DR: 6 (3 Tough skin)

Club (12): 8d+6 crushing, usually Telegraphed
Boulder (14): 5d-3 crushing
Brawling (12): 5d+1 crushing, usually Telegraphed
Stomp (12): 5d+6 crushing, usually Telegraphed

Traits: Extra Attack, Berserk 12 or less, Can evade size 0 foes by walking over them
Skills: Brawling-12, Observation-12
Class: Mundane

Notes: Gets +1 to hit heads of smaller foes (almost everyone), has +3 reach, smaller foes defend at -3.
Each head must be stunned or knocked out separately. If either head is stunned or knocked out, the Ettin loses Extra
Attack.

Thanks, I've added it to the queue.

THANKS!
WOW! Those are great!

Any chance of getting the Creatures of the Night book converted? : )

Please?

Some of the CotN creatures have been converted. Others were not converted, either because they're impossible to model with 4e rules, like the Bookworms (in which case you might as well just take them over wholesale without changing anything from 3e), or because they were vaguely silly --- like the gear gnomes and the netherpunks. Once I have completed the Space Bestiary (which I've had to put on the back burner for the last couple of weeks), I will go back and reconsider all the creatures I didn't include the first time around. Chillers and Defilers are in the NatEnc at the moment; looking back over the book right now, I can safely say I will be adding a few more, now that I'm more confident that I can model them correctly.

Thanks Kmunoz, I regularly check for updates on your NatEnc and ICFTF documents.

Great work.

I have bookmarked the NatEnc and ICFTF documents so I don`t miss any changes.

[kmunoz]

Thanks for the critters, and just FYI all I'll be getting back to some ICFTF and NatEnc updating this weekend, after another unrelated project finishes up. The bane and boon of ADD: many pies, but not enough fingers.
