Ice Mummer

Ice Mummer

Group, Devious

Slam (d6) 13 HP 1 Armor

Close

Special Qualities: Made of ice

The reconstituted frozen remains of a person ritually frozen then shattered, an ice mummer is the agent of what most certainly is a greater evil. Bound to its icy rusted bronze mask, the voiceless ice mummer is a harbinger of its master’s incursion.

Instinct: To obey its master

– Reveal the horror beneath the mask

– Disperse in a whirlwind of ice and snow

– To be its master’s eyes

Hi all

When I GM’ed a D&D 4e campaign some two years ago, I made this custom monster, the Siege Troll. It was one of the best boss battles I ever made.

That was D&D. Now I’ve converted it for Dungeon World, for the joy of the entire community. If you like sieges in your campaigns, then I can highly recommend spicing it up with an over-sized troll, flung over the defenses by catapult!

You like that idea? Well, then click the link below and tremble in fear at the mighty Siege Troll!

You know what I miss? D&D 3.5’s templates.

When the Shadow King desires to claim a great beast as his own, he will bind it with great and heavy chains so thoroughly one can barely see the original creature. Chains freezing cold to the touch, with the creature’s true name etched into every link. Shackled Trolls are a common sight in the Shadow King’s territories, serving as heavy infantry in his armies, and rumors have it that a Shackled Dragon serves as his very own steed, although the reliability of such accounts are highly in question.

Shackled is a template that applies to any Large or Huge monster. It gains +1 armor, the special qualities “Ponderous” and “Bound to the Shadow King’s will”, and the move “Entangle someone in its chains”.

This is a monster conversion I made from Dungens & Dragons 3.5 Monster Manual III. Any thoughts?

Drowned (Solitary, Stealthy)

Slam (d10+2 damage) 20 HP 1 Armor

Close, Forceful

Special Qualities: Amphibious, Drowning Aura

– – –

The drowned lost their lives in the watery deep. The evidence of their gasping death always saturates their clothing and flesh, and fills the air around them.

Many drowned came to their current circumstances when their ships went down at sea with all hands. Other, more ancient, first arose when their island homes sank beneath the waves ages ago, drowning all. Instinct: to drag down to the depths

• Drown someone, either underwater or not

• Suddenly attack from water

• Bring someone underwater
