Re: GURPS Eberron
And last one for tonight, the Zombie Hulks. These things are giant, bloated corpses that have been feeding on their own necrotic flesh for the last six decades; pulling their bloody organs from open wounds in their guts and stuffing them into their gaping mouths.

As for their damage, I'm still getting the hang of what my PCs can handle, so if these things don't prove to be the threat I want them to be, I'll bump up their stats. For now, I'm more concerned with accidentally killing accidentally the guys. That said, they were pretty damn tough last session and I am giving them each 4 healing potions, so maybe I should bump the damage up and really make them sweat. How durable have you found your PCs in your games Wildcat?

Re: GURPS Eberron
There is always my old GURPS Eberron Conversion, which I did with the help of some folks here on the forums. Today I would probably do a few things differently...

I like the system for the Dragonmark powers, though. Having the talent apply to the powers and the mark-related skills is a nice touch. |

Re: GURPS Eberron
One of the main threats of the Karrnathi Necorlab is an Iron Dragon driven mad by a corrupted Dragonmark that appeared in the bowels of the lab (the dragon had originally come to the lab to witness the emergence of the Dragonmark, which had been forseen as part of the Draconic Prophecy).
The encounter with him takes place in a huge chamber used to store Karnnathi zombies in giant alchemical vats hung like pearls on a chain. Vylymax opens the encounter using his Sound spells to spook the guys, alternating between Silence, Thunderclap, Voice and Blackout. Once the guys are suitably freaked out, Vylymax starts cutting the chains holding the vats, forcing the guys to make Perception checks to hear the sound of snapping chains followed by Dodge checks to dive out of the way (or take 2d6 cr). Once the vats hit the groud, a three hex mob of zombies spills out. Once this gets boring (or once the guys get too banged up), Vylymax flies down to engage them. Vylymax Mad Iron Dragon ST 20 HP 25 Basic Lift 80 Ground Move 10 DX 11 Will 11 Damage 2d-1/3d+2 Water Move 2 IQ 14 Per 13 Basic Speed 5 Fly Move 20 HT 13 FP 20 Basic Move 10 Offense: Claw: Attack 16, Parry 12 Reach C,1, Damage: Thrust 2d6-1 cut Two Claws: Attack 14, Reach C,1, Damage: Thrust 2d6-1 cut each Bite: Attack 16, Reach C,1,2, Damage: Thrust 2d6-2 cut Tail Sweep: Attack 16, Reach 2, Damage: 2d6+1 cr Wing Buffett: Damage: 2d6 knockback only, cone range 5, width 5 Lightning Breath (Jet): Attack 16, Acc 3, Range 50/100, 2d6 lightning (target makes HT roll at -1 per 2 HP suffered or stunned, make HT roll each turn thereafter to recover; Metal armor only grants DR 1 against this; costs 2 FP). Lightning Breath (Cone): Attack 16, Range 8, Width 4, 1d6 lightning (target makes HT roll at -1 per 2 HP suffered or stunned, make HT roll each turn thereafter to recover; Metal armor only grants DR 1 against this, costs 2 FP).

I was musing the other day that it might be interesting to make a list of the elements of the magic system that are integral to the setting: Dragonshards, Dragonmarks, Planar Manifestation, Elemental Binding, Artificers and so on and try to come up with magic systems from first principles that fit those elements. I'm not much farther along than that, although the Planes do look like good Realms, maybe. |
