Day 16 of my Adventure Calendar. For 24 days, up until Christmas, I plan to release a lil bit of RPG content. Want to join as well? Join the jam!
Block, Dodge, Parry features 3 main damage types for martial damage, just like D&D 5e. These are:
- Piercing. Rolling the maximum value on your damage roll makes your attack ignore all armor. This ability only works if you use the regular damage die for the weapon (i.e., not on an Impaired d4 attack, for example.)
- Bludgeoning. Always ignores 1 armor.
- Slashing. Deals +1 damage against targets without armor.
I figured it’d be fun to make a few enemies that require a certain damage type.
Spellscroll Mummy
6 HP, 12 STR, 15 WIL, Arcane Blast (d6)
- Hollow constructs, formed from animated spell scrolls.
- Mindless: Does not make Morale Saves.
- Caster: Can cast a simple Arcane Blast at targets Near or closer. If its spellcasting gives more than 3 Fatigue, the being dissolves, its arcane energy spent.
- Hollow Body: Piercing and Bludgeoning attacks are Impaired. Slashing and Fire-based attacks are Enhanced.
Pinwheel Skeleton
6 HP, 13 DEX, Charge (2d10) or Spikes (d6)
- A skeleton entwined with a large, spiked pinwheel.
- Attacks by charging towards its target. If the target performs a Dodge, this attack only does 1d4 damage.
- If the damage roll results in a 1, the pinwheel smashes into something or loses balance, and spends its next turn helpless on its side.
- Its bony body and wooden reinforcement cause Piercing and Slashing attacks to be Impaired, and Bludgeoning attacks to be Enhanced.
Bone Slime
8 HP, 14 STR, 5 WIL, Longsword (d8)
- A slimy mass containing various remains and weapons. Animated by an enchanted skull hovering inside. When attacked, the skull will move as far away from the attacker as possible within its mass.
- Attacks by regurgitating various weapons.
- Its mass causes Slashing and Bludgeoning attacks to be Impaired. A quick stab with a Piercing weapon at its skull is Enhanced.
