Environment: Cold mountains (Scrag: Cold aquatic)

Organization: Solitary or gang (2-4) Trolls walk upright but hunched forward with sagging shoulders. Their gait is uneven, and when they run, their arms dangle and drag along the ground. For all this seeming awkwardness, trolls are very agile.

A typical adult troll stands 9 feet tall and weighs 500 pounds. Females are slightly larger than males. A troll’s rubbery hide is moss green, mottled green and grey, or putrid grey. The hair is usually greenish black or iron grey. Trolls speak Giant.

Combat

Trolls have no fear of death: They launch themselves into combat without hesitation, flailing wildly

at the closest opponent. Even when confronted with fire, they try to get around the flames and

attack.

Keen Smell. The troll has +25 to all Perception rolls involving smell.

Regeneration. The troll regains 2 hits each round until it takes a fatal critical.

Actions

Multiattack. The troll makes three attacks: one with its bite and two with its claws.

A full-grown male can stand as tall as 8 feet and weigh up to 1,500 pounds. Adventurers who have survived encounters with the creature often speak of the bestial madness they glimpsed in its red-rimmed eyes.

Combat

Owlbears attack prey—any creature bigger than a mouse—on sight, always fighting to the death. They slash with claws and beak, trying to grab their prey and rip it apart.

Keen Sight and Smell. The owlbear +25 on Perception checks that rely on sight or smell.

Adult ogres stand 9 to 10 feet tall and weigh 600 to 650 pounds. Their skin colour ranges from dull yellow to dull brown. Their clothing consists of poorly cured furs and hides, which add to their naturally repellent odour.

Ogres speak Giant, and those specimens who boast Intelligence scores of at least 50 also speak Common.

Combat

Ogres favour overwhelming odds, sneak attacks, and ambushes over a fair fight. They are intelligent enough to fire ranged weapons first to soften up their foes before closing but ogre gangs and bands fight as unorganized individuals.

Kobolds are short, reptilian humanoids with cowardly and sadistic tendencies. A kobold’s scaly skin ranges from dark rusty brown to a rusty black colour. It has glowing red eyes. Its tail is non-prehensile.

Kobolds wear ragged clothing, favouring red and orange. A kobold is 2 to 2½ feet tall and weighs 35 to 45 pounds. Kobolds speak Draconic with a voice that sounds like that of a yapping dog.

Combat

Kobolds like to attack with overwhelming odds—at least two to one—or trickery; should the odds fall below this threshold, they usually flee. However, they attack gnomes on sight if their numbers are equal.

They begin a fight by slinging bullets, closing only when they can see that their foes have been weakened. Whenever they can, kobolds set up ambushes near trapped areas.

Hobgoblins are larger cousins of goblins. Hobgoblins’ hair colour ranges from dark reddish-brown to dark grey. They have dark orange or red-orange skin. Large males have blue or red noses. Hobgoblins’ eyes are yellowish or dark brown, while their teeth are yellow. Their garments tend to be brightly coloured, often blood red with black-tinted leather. Their weaponry is kept polished and in good repair. Hobgoblins speak Goblin and Common. Most hobgoblins encountered outside their homes are warriors; the information in the statistics block is for one of 1st level.

Combat

These creatures have a strong grasp of strategy and tactics and are capable of carrying out sophisticated battle plans. Under the leadership of a skilled strategist or tactician, their discipline can prove a deciding factor. Hobgoblins hate elves and attack them first, in preference to other opponents.

Gnolls are hyena-headed, evil humanoids that wander in loose tribes. Most gnolls have dirty yellow or reddish-brown fur. A gnoll is a nocturnal carnivore, preferring intelligent creatures for food because they scream more. A gnoll is about 7½ feet tall and weighs 300 pounds. Gnolls speak Gnoll.

Combat

Gnolls like to attack when they have the advantage of numbers, using horde tactics and their physical strength to overwhelm and knock down their opponents. They show little discipline when fighting unless they have a strong leader; at such times, they can maintain ranks and fight as a unit. While they do not usually prepare traps, they do use ambushes and try to attack from a flanking position. Because of its shield, a gnoll’s modifier on Hide checks (untrained) is -2, which means gnolls always take special care to seek favourable conditions when laying ambushes (such as darkness, cover, or some other form of advantageous terrain).

Rampage. When the gnoll kills, knocks out or incapacitates its target it may attempt to roll adrenal move speed at +25 for the following round.

A goblin stands 3 to 3½ feet tall and weigh 40 to 45 pounds. Its eyes are usually dull and glazed, varying in colour from red to yellow. A goblin’s skin colour ranges from yellow through any shade of orange to a deep red; usually all members of a single tribe are about the same colour. Goblins wear clothing of dark leather, tending toward drab, soiled-looking colours. Goblins speak Goblin; those with Intelligence scores of 60 or higher also speak Common. Most goblins encountered outside their homes are warriors; the information in the statistics block is for one of 3rd level.

Combat

Being bullied by bigger, stronger creatures has taught goblins to exploit what few advantages they have: sheer numbers and malicious ingenuity. The concept of a fair fight is meaningless in their society. They favour ambushes, overwhelming odds, dirty tricks, and any other edge they can devise. Goblins have a poor grasp of strategy and are cowardly by nature, tending to flee the field if a battle turns against them. With proper supervision, though, they can implement reasonably complex plans, and in such circumstances their numbers can be a deadly advantage.

Nimble Escape. Goblins get +25 to MM rolls when trying to escape.

Some fire giants have bright orange hair. An adult male is 12 feet tall, has a chest that measures 9 feet around, and weighs about 7,000 pounds. Females are slightly shorter and lighter. Fire giants can live to be 350 years old. Fire giants wear sturdy cloth or leather garments coloured red, orange, yellow, or black. Warriors wear helmets and half-plate armour of blackened steel.

Combat

Fire giants heat their rocks in a nearby fire, geyser, or lava pools, so that they deal extra fire damage. They favour magic flaming swords in melee (when they can get them). They are also fond of grabbing smaller opponents and tossing them somewhere very hot.
