Roachling

Roachlings are small, skittish people, their origins unknown and faced with a long history of vicious oppression. Historically they were seen as bringers of disease and poison, much like the cockroaches they resemble, and were driven to the most outer edges of all possible society. Even other outcasts rarely welcome them, seeing them as weak or similarly unclean. This long history has left roachlings as quite unpleasant to be around, extremely cautious and focused on their own survival to the outright expense of any others.

Roachlings have long, whip like antennae, a back carapace, small spines on their short, bowed legs and arms, and very little hair. Skin and carapace colors vary across tan, yellow, brown, and black, though it is universally dry and shiny. Despite the look, they do not have an actual exoskeleton, just hardened skin and a kind of shell. They have a full internal skeleton as most humanoids.

Roachlings have no friends among the powers of the world. Even the Prince of Shadows sees little of value in working with them. Perhaps your players will be nicer, or perhaps not.

Another early Tome of Beasts appearance, this was requested by another of my Patreon backers. The 13th Age version is designed for the 2nd Edition playtest material, but at this level in particular the numbers are pretty close to similar, so it can be used with 1st edition 13th Age without problem. If you'd like to make your own monster requests, you can back my Patreon to add your voice!

Mylings are small undead, the souls of those who died of abandonment or exposure, most often children. Even the rare adult who becomes a myling shrinks, reduced in size until they appear child like. A myling is driven to try and seek burial, but their understanding of it is broken and twisted by undead, and instead they will climb onto creatures that they lure close enough and cling on desperately. While attached, they will demand the creature carry them to open ground of some kind, biting viciously if refused. Upon open ground they will suddenly become unbearably heavy, dragging the person carrying them down into the ground, burying them in the dirt where they will suffocate.

A lone myling will exhibit traces of their living personality; babbling about their favorite toys, festivals, or people, or singing songs and making small games. When a person approaches, the myling will hide its dead face and usually cry or call for help to try and lure a would-be rescuer closer.

This is similar to grabbing the creature, but the myling moves with that creature rather than holding it in place. The myling is flat-footed while attached. Bury Alive [2 actions] Requirement The myling is attached to a creature that is standing on dirt or other loose ground; Effect The creature must attempt a DC 17 Fortitude saving throw. Critical Success The myling is no longer attached. Success The target is slowed 1 for 1 round. Failure The target is knocked prone and restrained (DC 17 Escape).

Enfeebling Attacks (necromancy) When the myling deals negative damage to a creature that is below half its maximum hit points, the target must attempt a DC 15 Fortitude saving throw, becoming drained 1 on a failure (or drained 2 on a critical failure).

13th Age

Myling 3rd level spoiler [undead] Initiative: +8 Vulnerability: Holy Little Claws and Teeth +8 vs. AC - 4 damage plus 4 negative energy damage. Natural Even Hit: The myling attaches to the target. This functions like a grab, except the target isn’t stuck and instead the myling travels with the target when it moves, unless it succeeds on a disengage check. The target takes 8 negative energy damage instead of the normal automatic damage at the start of the myling’s turn. Bury Alive +10 vs. PD (one enemy the myling is attached to; includes +4 grab bonus) - Ongoing 5 negative energy damage, and the target must start making last gasp saves as the myling buries it in the ground. On the fourth failed save, the target suffocates and dies. Enfeebling Strike: Whenever the myling deals negative energy damage to a staggered enemy, the enemy is also weakened (save ends).

Clockwork hounds and huntsmen were built to function together, tracking creatures. While the more generous use of them is in hunting monsters and other threats, far more often they wind up in the hunting people. An emotionless, unrelenting, tireless hunter is quite useful for those who don't want sympathy or independent thought interrupting a hunt. As such, the corrupt and cruel are most keen on making use of these hunters. Corrupt aristocrats seeking patrols to watch their serfs and catch those seeking to escape indentured servitude (and the occasional vanity hunt for foxes or other helpless prey), secret police searching for dissidents and subversives, criminal gangs looking for victims, or moneylenders tracking those fleeing their debts. As such, most common folk hate and fear the hounds and huntsmen, while those who hold their leashes love them quite a lot.

Deep ones are a species of fishlike, aquatic beings who, despite the name, actually usually dwell along shallow coastlines and even on land. Their exact origins are a mystery, but the most common legends of it claim they were creations by elder gods of the deep from human stock. Many deep ones still worship these elder gods, under names such as Father Dagon or Mother Hydra (despite these names being more commonly associated with powerful demons or common monsters, and some doubt the true divinity of these so-called gods), demanding sacrifices of treasure and blood from those they encounter. Mariners and coastal villages are often targets of these demands. Refusal brings great misfortune; damaged rudders and ship bottoms, empty fishing nets, poor weather. Complying brings wealth, as fishing nets bring up not just bountiful catches but ancient treasures, and ships find fast and effective currents to reach their destinations in less time.

Communities that regularly "trade" with the deep ones (leaving sacrifices for the fish people to take) may even intermarry with them. This is uncommon, and rarely do these marriages produce long lived children, but those who survive often become quite influential intermediaries between the surface and the elder gods that the deep ones worship. These priests guide the settlements they live in further to the worship of the elder gods, escalating the sacrifices demanded and coordinating raids on the surrounding area with other deep ones to fulfill these demands.

Pathfinder 2e and 13th Age both have stat blocks for giant ants, but no stat blocks for the queen of the hive. That's such a shameful absence. Dealing with a hive of giant ants and taking out the queen feels like it should be a fantasy standard (I remember it from the game Champions of Norrath way back in the day), and it's not available at base in either system. Thankfully, the Tome of Beasts is what brought giant ants into 5e, and they were aware enough to ensure the queen appeared as is appropriate. So here she is for the other systems as well.

I don't think I need to introduce giant ant queens in character for a fantasy setting, it's a big ant.

Anubians on the other hand, I will introduce in setting. They are a special form of earth elemental created long ago, with a large number of them bound into tomb defenders by a band of wizards. They didn't share the specific ritual for creating this sandy guardian, and with the collapse of their group and the loss of their knowledge, no one's summoned a permanent anubian in centuries. While a few might use more standard summoning spells to get one temporarily, the remaining originals still sit within the ruins they were summoned to guard, seething with rage against the wizards that bound them and venting their frustrations on the rare tomb robber that stumbles across their hidden prisons.

Anubians are made of sand, and generally take the form of a jackel headed humanoid, patterned after the god Anubus. They can summon sandstorms around themselves for defense and to hamper and restrain invaders, but doing so heavily reduces their mobility, so they will usually only do it while surrounded and within a small area where foes can't easily avoid it. Their bodies are much less compact and bound together than other earth elementals, so water will quickly break it down, but this looseness allows them to collapse into loose sand and quickly reform at another location, allowing them to bypass many barriers and position themselves in the best spot to unleash their haboob.

Full immersion in salt water deals 4d6 acid damage per round. Speed 25 feet Melee claw +9 (agile, finesse), Damage 1d6+3 slashing Haboob [two actions] (primal) The anubian creates a sandstorm that fills a 5-foot radius, 30-foot tall cylinder centered on itself. The sandstorm has a duration of sustained up to 10 minutes, and moves with the anubian. The anubian's speed is reduced to 5 feet, and it can't use Sand Step while the sandstorm is active. All creatures in this area are concealed. The anubian ignores this concealment. Any creature except an anubian that ends its turn in the sandstorm takes 1d6 slashing damage, and the anubian attempts a Shove against the target as a free action, with a +11 bonus. Sand Step [one action] (transmutation) The anubian collapses into loose sand and immediately reforms at another unoccupied space within 10 feet of it. This movement can pass under doors or similar obstacles, as long as there's a large enough gap for sand to pass through. If the anubian reappears in sandy terrain, it can take the Hide action for free, even if it doesn't have cover or concealment.

Kobolds

There's three new kobold stat blocks in the Tome of Beasts, and I've decided to put them together in groups. Today has the Pathfinder versions of the stat blocks, and the next post will have the 13th Age versions of them.

Kobold Alchemist

The secrets of alchemy have been spreading further around Golarion, and some of the kobold clans that live closer to cities where alchemy is known have begun doing their own alchemical crafting. Still struggling for recognition and rights, few can get proper training or equipment, and so most kobold alchemists are self taught from stolen notes and supplies, experimenting and learning from their mistakes as they attempt to provide for their clan in return for the dangerous and expensive supplies gathered for them.

Kobold Alchemist Creature 2 Small, Humanoid, Kobold Perception +5; darkvision Languages Common, Sakvroth Skills Acrobatics +7, Arcana +7, Crafting +9, Medicine +5, Stealth +7 Str -2, Dex +3, Con +2, Int +3, Wis -1, Cha -1 Alchemical Grenades A kobold alchemist carries 4 alchemical grenades that deal either fire or poison damage plus 1 persistent damage and 1 splash damage of the same type (typically two of each). The alchemist replenishes these grenades each day, using easily collected materials. Items alchemist's toolkit, dagger, dart (×3), studded leather AC 17; Fort +8, Ref +9, Will +5 HP 32; Immunities poison Speed 25 feet Melee dagger +7 (agile, finesse, versatile S), Damage 1d4+2 piercing Ranged dart +7 (agile, range increment 20 feet, thrown), Damage 1d4+2 piercing Ranged alchemical grenade +9 (range increment 20 feet, splash), Damage 1d6 fire or poison plus 1 persistent damage and 1 splash damage of the same type Alchemical Protection [2 actions] (concentrate, manipulate); Frequency once per hour; Effect The kobold alchemist chooses up to six willing creatures within 10 feet of it. Those allies gain resistance 3 to poison damage, or to the damage type currently in effect from Apothecary. Apothecary [1 action] (alchemical, concentrate, manipulate) The kobold alchemist selects acid, cold, or fire. Until they use this action again, they gain resistance 3 to the chosen damage type. Explosive Flask [3 actions] (alchemical, concentrate, manipulate) The kobold alchemist draws two alchemical grenades with an Interact action, then combines them into one and throws them at a point within 30 feet. Creatures within 15-feet of that point take 3d6 poison damage (DC 17 basic Reflex save). On a failed save, the creature also takes 2 persistent poison damage. Instead of poison damage, the alchemist can deal the damage type currently in effect from Apothecary. Quick Bombardier [1 action] The kobold alchemist draws an alchemical grenade with an Interact action and throws it as a ranged Strike. Scamper [1 action] Requirements The kobold alchemist is adjacent to at least one enemy; Effect The kobold alchemist Strides up to their Speed plus 5 feet and gains a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against reactions triggered by this movement. They must end this movement in a space that is not adjacent to any enemy.

Kobold Chieftain

War leaders rise to the top of more warlike kobold clans, skilled combatants and intimidating commanders who rally up other kobolds to greater heights. Those who last become chieftains, living legends and symbols of greatness that may live long beyond their actual lives in story and heritage.

Kobold Chieftain Creature 4 Small, Humanoid, Kobold Perception +9; darkvision Languages Common, Sakvroth Skills Acrobatics +11, Intimidation +10, Stealth +11 Str +1, Dex +3, Con +2, Int +0, Wis +1, Cha +2 Items dart (×3), dart shield (Hardness 3, HP 12, BT 6), giant centipede venom (×2), shortbow (10 arrows), shortsword, studded leather AC 20 (21 with shield raised); Fort +8, Ref +13, Will +11; +2 status to all saves vs. fear HP 62 Dart Retalliation [reaction] Trigger The kobold chieftain is hit by a melee Strike; Requirements The kobold chieftain's dart shield is loaded; Effect The kobold chieftain makes a dart shield Strike against the triggering enemy. This attack doesn't trigger reactions. Speed 25 feet Melee shortsword +13 (agile, finesse, versatile S), Damage 1d6+5 piercing Ranged dart shield +13 (agile, range increment 20 feet, reload 1), Damage 1d4+4 piercing Melee shortbow +13 (deadly d10, range increment 60 feet, reload 0), Damage 1d6+2 piercing Inspiring Presence [2 actions] (auditory, concentrate, emotion, mental) The kobold chieftain issues a call. Each kobold ally in a 30-foot emanation gains a +2 circumstance bonus to all saves vs. fear, and a +2 circumstance bonus to all attack rolls. Scamper [1 action] Requirements The kobold chieftan is adjacent to at least one enemy; Effect the kobold chieftain Strides up to their Speed plus 5 feet and gains a +2 circumstance bonus to AC against reactions triggered by this movement. They must end this movement in a space that is not adjacent to any enemy. Sneak Attack The kobold chieftain deals an extra 1d6 precision damage to off-guard creatures.

Kobold Trapsmith

Kobolds are very well known for their traps, with their low status and the desperation for protection that brings with it. Maintaining these traps is a dangerous profession, and so many of these traps remain somewhat rudimentary and simple. Truly skilled trapsmiths rise up from the survivors, those who push the art of trapmaking to new heights, and a clan with such an individual are well set for protection. They are even able to bring traps into personal battle, though such rushed and improvised mechanisms are a bit less dangerous.
