New Creature for Treasure Awaits!Sep 21, 2014 | 12:21 pm
I had an idea during the night for a new wilderness creature for Treasure Awaits! So here it is... (or download the PDF)



Tree Grapplers invade trees. These parasites continue to grow within the wood until their clam-like flesh busts out of the bark. After this, their bodies develop tentacles outside of the tree, wrapping around the bark to camouflage itself. When unsuspecting victims come too close, they wrap their tentacles around the prey only to feed.

Attitude: Territorial
Focus: Besiege
Size: {Large 1-3, Huge 4-6}
Abilities: 4-3-0
Pursuits: Brawling, Stealth
Weapons: Unarmed (tentacle); Unarmed (constrict) +1
Armor: Natural 3
Numbers: 1
Notes: Has number of tentacles equal to roll of one die; half can perform a close combat attack each turn against closest characters, while the other half can attack those sneaking or behind; tree grappler dies when its injury rating goes beyond 6 instead of 5.

This spawns ideas for a Halloween scenario...

Very dark indeed. :twisted:

I'm imagining Sleepy Hollow, or even the Pine Barrens!

Nicely done. 8)
