Creature Classes - A Shadowdark Supplement
Creature Classes is a new set of ancestry classes designed for use with the Shadowdark RPG. While they can be used as player classes¸ these classes can also be used to create monstrous enemies of various levels and abilities.
Ancestry classes are both ancestry and class; the creatures in this booklet advance in level in their ancestry¸ not in separate classes.
The creature classes has different hit points per level and includes the following ancestry classes:
Catkin (d6 hit points per level) are intelligent feline beings who often ally with sylvan creatures. Equizards (d6 hit points per level) are equines descended from normal horses¸ pegasi¸ and unicorns. Mind Mice (d4 hit points per level) are strange mutants most often encountered around brain eater lairs. Petty Dragons (d8 hit points per level) are thought to result from incompletely fertilized dragon eggs¸ and can be found wherever dragons lair. Shimmercats (d8 hit points per level) are strange tentacled felines who possess the magical ability to be elsewhere other than their apparent location. Spirit Foxes (d4 hit points per level) are intelligent magical foxes who can shapeshift into human form. Sternulfs (d6 hit points per level) are intelligent wolves with a special relationship with the gods. Wink Dogs (d6 hit points per level) are intelligent dogs who have the ability to step between spaces. A special Creature Class Background Table is provided for these unusual ancestries. 12 pages (9 pages of content).
