Name : Zalcanthrias, the Dragon of Destruction Submitted By:Sir Zackary Ironwill STR- 25 DEX- 22 CON- 23 INT-23 WIS24 CHA-23 He is one of the most feared dragons to ever roam the land. No man has ever gotten within 200 yards of him and lived. And no dragon has ever lasted more than two minutes in battle with him without dying or running in pain and fear and than later dying from injuries. Legend says he is more than 2500 years old, and that he is part god! And yet even though he is so deadly, he is equally glorious and beautiful in appearance. He attacks three times his turn, twice with his hands, causing 6d10 damage each time, and once with his tail, causing 10d12 damage. Every third round he heaves a mighty blast of magical energy from his mouth and causes 7d10 damage to all surrounding enemies. He can be found anywhere, for he roams the world in search of things to destroy for his sheer enjoyment. His nearly impenitrable skin gives him an automatic AC of -7. He is a dark coal black in color with glowing yellow eyes and thorny horns stretching all the way from his head down to the bottom of his long neck. He has a huge HP of 450 points. Zalcanthrias' thaco is 4, he almost never misses, and he is so quick and agile, he always attacks first no matter what. Some adventurers are very fortunate if he flies by and doesn't see them, for his belly is incrested with jewels, weapons, magic items, and gold that continuously falls down to the ground as he flies, and in large quantities at that. The adventurers find themselves surrounded in riches beyond their wildest dreams. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is one of the most powerful creatures on the known world, and can decimate cities at will.
The Minion is immune to non-vorpal weapons and breath weapons of dragons, and minotaurs.
The scales can be made into armor offering a -20 AC and a 50% saving roll for no damage to a breath weapon attack. The liar is filled with enough gold to fill a palace, and is often worth millions. The double swords are +10 and do 10d10+strength, but can only be employed by evil creatures. The weapons on a roll of 6 on a d6 also do 20d20 in a lightning attack called BLAZER. Only 1 of these creatures has ever been slain and that was by a forgotten knight seeking the Holy Grail.

damaged then they spend 4 rounds healing. you
can get metal coverings that spit out razors to
go over his wings. If damaged by one you must make
a save throw vs. black magic. If lost the one

Basilisks are lively animals and, although they
move slowly on all four legs, they can move
rapidly on their hind legs; in fact, they are
known for their ability to run across the surface
of water. Four species of basilisk are found
These omnivorous tree dwellers grow to about 5
ft, most of the length being in the slender,
whiplike tail. Their back legs are developed far
out of proportion to the rest of the body so
that when at rest they squat like frogs. Male
basilisks are often adorned with an erectile
crest along the middle of the back and tail or
on the head. The banded basilisk is brown with a
yellow band along each side of the body; the
other species are yellowish or greenish brown.

black death liches (bd lich) where the magical experiments of the now dead god bane, which ended in the creation of the mouths of bane. these are the prototypes of the baneliches. these "lesser" bane liches where imbued with the power of bane in such a way that when bane died, his power was given in equal portion to the prototype bane liches which escaped his wrath during his lifetime for then being "failures".
COMBAT: besides having greater stats, they basically fight the same as bane liches. they can levitate at will as much as they want. the bd liches cold fire missles (see bane lich in the monstrous compendium annual volume three) are not blue-green, but pure black darkness. they can also fire twice as much because they attack twice.
their touch is the same as a bane lich but also has the freezing effects of a normal lich.
HABITAT/SOCIETY: the bd lich needs no phylactery, they live off the piece of the broken essence of the dread god of strife, bane they received when he was destroyed. though they can still make a phylactery for there own protection.
ECOLOGY: since many where forsook by bane for being failures, some bd liches have been useing their new found powers against lawful evil ends, and joined such chaotic evil groups as the tanar'ri. yet most where originally worshipers of tyranny and oppression to such an extent that they will always follow lawful evil tendencies. also, it could be believed that the rogue god cyric, did not truly destroy bane. though he believes so. he could have only found a way to use banes own shaky use of magic against him, by spreading his essence to the bd liches. so possibly it could be theorized, that if the bd liches where destroyed, that band could reform!

Description:
Tagazin is a demon lord.He looks like huge golden hound. He appears only if invoked by a powerful
evil cleric. His main defences in combat are:
A very powerful aura of evil which paralyses every creature(PCs especially) on a 100' foot radius.All
characters within range must roll a successful throw vs paralisation each round or stay paralysed for
that round.If a PC is paralysed, then he must roll a successful throw vs death or die instantly of fear.
Tagazin will always attack the paralysed PCs first and he will kill them in 1 round. His other defence is
a total magic resistance: all the spells cast at him will turn back to the caster TEN times stronger
E.G.:if a 10th level mage casts on him "Fireball" which is a spell that inflicts, at 10th level, from 10 to 60
points of damage, the spell will turn back to the caster inflicting 100 to 600 points of damage.
When attacking, Tagazin will create a clone of each of the PCs and each clone will attack its
respective PC.All the clones have the same abilities of the PCs. If the clones have been defeated, he
will attack with his claws and teeth.
If his HP are reduced to 5 or less, he will not die but he will take ethereal form and will go back to the
Nine Hells until called again.

Vampire by Jade
Vampires are undead creatures that for what ever reason continued to live after their own demise,
this can be achieved by a curse, losing all your blood and then drinking the blood of the dead, or
being bittne by another vampire. In most cases the transaction between life and undeath drives the
person to a life of evil, but in a few rare cases the victim for whatever reason retains his old
alignment, in this case good.
It should be noted that no vampire is lawful good (the drinking of blood is illegal as well as
disgusting) that's not to say they are evil, they kill because they have to, which in and of itself is not
an evil act. (A tiger kills antelope because it's hungry, does that make the tiger, or the act for that
matter evil? no.) In some cases killing somone may benefit a lot of people good. Killing an evil
person in those times was considered a good act. All vampires have the ability to sense alignment in
respect to good and evil, but not law and chaos. This is only in use when they are hunting for a blood
meal, any other time it is out of effect. It should be noted that a good vampire will at no time drink a
good persons blood unless absolutely necessary. If such an occasion should arise the vampire cannot
advance to another level until he has been forgiven by the victim an dhis family (not an easy task).
Unlike evil vampires good vampires can cross running water, enter houses freely, and even survive in
the broad day light, although they do suffer certain attack and AC penalties (-1 to each). They do
however face certain ability restrictions until higher levels.
At first level the only ability they posess is vampiric regeneration. At second level they can fly once
per week, this ability increases every two levels, thus once at 2nd twice at 4th,etc. Up to a maximum
of 7 times a week (once a day). The vampire can fly for a number of rounds equal to his constitution
doubled. He flies at a rate of 240' per round.
At third level they can cast vampiric touch at will, note this is not a good act and should not be used
often, otherwise they will suffer exp penalties.At fifth level the vampire can assume gaseous form. He
can also summon normal bats or wolves. (No dire wolves).
Good vampires cannot be turned by good clerics, they can howeverr be turned by bad clerics. In
which case they are turned (and controlled) as a paladin of the same level, note they cannot be
destroyed.
Good vampires also have a power over lesser forms of undead. They can turn undead as if they
were a cleric two levels lower, up to a maximum of 6th level.
All vampires must have a Strength of at least 18/76, of course on this same token they receive +2 to
strength, +1 to wisdom and intelligence (because they are so old), although all vampires are in peak
physical condition, they tend to radiate an aura of repulsion, giving them -3 to charisma.
In any case where the rules don't contradict, the rules for a vampire in the monster manual should be
used.
Vampires may be of any class (except paladin) and can advance to any level. They also are built
different than humans, the table below is used to generate height, weight and starting age. Vampires
never suffer from old age.
Weight
Base 100/90* Modifier 3d10

Weretiger by Jade
Weretigers are creatures with a neutral alignment that are infected with lyncanthrapy. For the
purpose of character generating they can be either male or female, although there should be no more
than one male weretiger in a certain adventure (they after all make up only 5% of the entire race).
In human form weretigers are almost always tall and skinny, with green eyes, brown to blackish hair,
and long sharp finger nails. They possess a cat like agility (+1 to dexterity) and have incredible night
vision (60 foot infravision). Of course they also tend to be lighter and normal humans (-1 to
constitution), it should be noted that only humans can become lyncanthropes, the disease kills all
other races. Weretigers also tend to age better than most humans, not showing signs of aging until
about 50. They can at anytime move silently with almost certain success (99%).
When in half form (halfway between humnan and tiger) they retain their height, but thier fingers mold
with thier finger nails forming wicked claw, thier canines grow to the size of a fang, sticking out from
thier mouths a little, and they grow a thin layer of tiger colored fur. At this stage they can attack three
times per round if not using a weapon and as normal if they are using a weapon, assuming that they
are fightng bare handed. They do damage equal to a tiger plus thier strength bonus. They can also
hide in shadows as a ranger of the same level (+45% up to maximum of 99% if they are already a
ranger).
They can leap as if they had the proficiency (+5 to roll if they already have the proficiency) they also
retain thier infravision. They also receive +1 to strength at this point, of course they tend to become
irrational (-1 to wisdom), should battle ensure they go into a berserker rage (+1 to thac0 and
damage). At third level they can remain in this form as long as they want, otherwise it lasts about 1
hour. At this point they are still PC's, controlled by the player.
In tiger form they are completely tiger and are treated as so, except with the same amount of hit dice
as levels. They can still be controlled as the player if the player role plays them good, otherwise they
become monster's controlled by the DM. although they will not attack anyone they are close to in
life, this includes party members, family, and friends, as well as anyone who they cannot kill (one
tiger against a dragon just isn't going to happen).
Weretigers can have alignment so long as it is neutral in some way (true neutral, chaotic neutral,
neutral good, lawful neutral,etc.), thus they can be any class except paladin (even a neutral good
ranger) whatever thier class they can advance to any level and become dual-classed characters.
Below is a table listing height,weight, and age for weretigers.
Weight
Base 90/85* Modifier 1d10+5
Height
Base 72/67* Modifier 1d4+3
Age
Base 18 Modifier 1d4
The females tend to be shorter and lighter than the males.
