Monster of the Week: Vampires
Another classic creature born of human fear and storytelling, Vampires are a staple in a host of roleplaying games. They are inherently a strong opponent, and a puzzle, all at once. They are intelligent, and can serve in both combat … Continue reading

Monster of the Week: Hellhound
Yay, Hellhounds! I’ve favoured them a little ever since DMing a solo game where the player used Handle Animal to tame one, and I let him keep it as his Animal Companion. Anyway, historically, Man has liked two things: dogs … Continue reading

Monster of the Week: Hydras
From the trials of Heracles, we get a classical monster which is instantly recognisable, and a dangerous opponent. Tough and strong, with enough heads to attack everyone at once, the Hydra is a good “monster-y” monster: it’s only purpose is … Continue reading

Monster of the Week: Humans and PC races
Humans, and, to a lesser extent, other player races, are quite handy for use as enemies in many campaigns. I mean, the real world’s done pretty well with just Humans, even without magic! Incredible, yeah. Anyway, in both campaigns set … Continue reading

Monster of the Week: Ettin
Originally just a word for a giant, an Ettin is now a two-headed giant or ogre-like creature. The fit a nice niche in D&D: they’re stronger than Ogres, which are a good foe for a low-level party, but they are … Continue reading

Monster of the Week: Zombies
Ah, Zombies. A classic creature from various mythologies that, like many others, has been revived through modern film and literature, and is thus standard fare for roleplayer gamers such as us. Ironically, many of the aforementioned reviving pieces are set … Continue reading

Monster of the Week: Mimic
The Mimic is a classic monster dating back to the beginning of D&D. It’s a creature that, in standard Gygaxian fashion, tries to kill you despite looking like a piece of furniture. It can assume the shape of just about … Continue reading

Monster of the Week: Lycanthropes
Lycanthropes, or Werewolves, are a strong part of our standard mythology. Wolf attacks on humans combined with the human penchant for imagination lead to an obvious result. Oh, look, wolves ate my sheep. It was totally that next door neighbour … Continue reading

Monster of the Week: Golems
(Er, Monster of the Month, due to sickness and the whole Christmas thing) Golems are a classic part of D&D. Everyone knows the deal: you find a statue with massive eye gems, you pry the gems out, and the statue … Continue reading

Wands in 4E D&D
NEW: Updated for new books (PHBII, PHBIII, AV2) Wands in 4E are often given the bad reputation of being the worst implement. At first glance, the magic Wands are inferior to other implements, and the Wizard’s Implement Mastery ability for … Continue reading
