Monster: Amnizu

Monster: Amnizu

Amnizus are administrator and guardian devils that oversee the passage of souls into Hell.

Monsters: Abishais

Monsters: Abishais

Abishais are gargoyle-like devils created by Tiamat, the Queen of Chromatic Dragons. Because of that, they are color-coded.

Alchemy: Dungeonscape Elixirs

Alchemy: Dungeonscape Elixirs

Let's convert alchemical items from Dungeonscape for D&D 3.5.

Alchemy: Elixir Recycling

Alchemy: Elixir Recycling

Have you ever played Might and Magic VI, VII, or VIII? In those three games, alchemical potions are split into five tiers, and each non-basic potion is created by combining two potions of the previous tier. A couple of days ago, this mechanic has inspired me to create an elixir recycling system from my Metatronic Alchemy system. It would allow an alchemist to use existing potions to save some money and time. I'm pretty sure that the first draft of this will be revised multiple times in the future, because it'll probably break something.

Alchemy: Drow Poisons

Alchemy: Drow Poisons

Let's convert the normal, not magic-infused poisons from Drow of the Underdark.

Alchemy: Drow, Last Gasp, and Abortion

Alchemy: Drow, Last Gasp, and Abortion

I've been asked to create an alchemical pregnancy cancellation elixir. Let's also add a forgotten elixir from Complete Adventurer and alchemical items from Drow of the Underdark.

Martial Arts: Complete Warrior Styles

Martial Arts: Complete Warrior Styles

While we're on the topic of martial arts, let's convert the combat styles from Complete Warrior. The Net and Trident style basically is the Retiarius style from GURPS Martial Arts: Gladiators with a generic name, so it does not require a conversion.

Martial Art: Way of the Ascendant Dragon

Martial Art: Way of the Ascendant Dragon

A martial style based on a monk archetype for D&D 5E that I found by accident.

Monsters: Legendary Animals

Monsters: Legendary Animals

Monster Manual II features several legendary animals, who basically are potent versions of normal

animals created by the force of nature. I've already converted the legendary ape, so let's finish the rest.

Pantheon: Fey Deities

Pantheon: Fey Deities

D&D fey have a quite extensive pantheon of deities that weren't really described in much detail. AuldDragon has done a great job creating very detailed entries for most of them. I'll just take a paragraph for each one, link to the original post, and provide all the mechanical information relevant to my GURPS games. I like how the pantheon has intersections with the elven, gnomish, centaur, and even draconic pantheons.

Monster: Shark-Kin

Monster: Shark-Kin

The shark-kin are something like an ancestor species of the sahuagins. I remember finding them in ENWorld's Creature Catalog and using them in my underwater D&D game. Now it's time to convert them to GURPS. Seems like a decent racial template for an aquatic game.

Pantheon: Heliophagi

Pantheon: Heliophagi

Heliophagi are demon lords from the Dominions video game series. They hold power over darkness and some other aspects, depending on the heliophagus in question. After I converted the shadow demon from D&D, I realized that there is nothing stopping me from introducing the heliophagi in my D&D-like setting. Shadow demons appear when essence of a demon slain outside of the Abyss fails to reform properly. Thus, the shadow demons fall outside of the tanar'ri/obyrith/loumara/spider-demon classification. What happens if a demon lord is slain outside of the Abyss and fails to reform properly? A shadow demon lord, or heliophagus, happens. Makes sense to me.

Monster: Ripper

Monster: Ripper

Another D&D monster from my old notes. I've actually used it in two different games, and in both of

them it got killed by a single knife stab to the eyes.

Monster: Lystrosaurus

Monster: Lystrosaurus

A very simple dycinodont template I've found in my old documents, tuned-up, and reformatted.

Solo GURPS: Alas Mirayra, Session #2

Solo GURPS: Alas Mirayra, Session #2

Let's continue the journey of Alas Miraya, the almost-dead fire elf bloodrager. A short session.

Session #1 - link.

Session #3 - link.

Alchemy: Adventurer Elixirs

Alchemy: Adventurer Elixirs

Now, let's create elixirs based on the spells from the previous post and convert two alchemical items from Complete Arcane that I have missed. Now we caught up properly.

Sorcery: Adventurer Spells

Sorcery: Adventurer Spells

Some spells from Complete Adventurer for D&D 3.5 ported over to sorcery.

Alchemy: Some Elixirs I Missed

Alchemy: Some Elixirs I Missed

Apparently I declared some of the D&D books "converted alchemy-wise" too early, because some alchemical items for some reason were moved to the magic items sections. So, let's catch up. This post will cover elixirs from the Arms and Equipment Guide, Book of Vile Darkness, and Complete Scoundrel.

Monster: Derro Magister

Monster: Derro Magister

Pathfinder RPG's Occult Bestiary features several monsters that are just "normal monster, but psychic".

The derro magister is one of them. I decided to omit his cytillesh stare ability, because he can accomplish everything that ability does with his psychic powers. Keeping them both would be redundant.

Monster: Metalmaster

Monster: Metalmaster

While I still have not enough free time to run another solo session, let's tackle another request. The

metalmaster is a magical slug that can create magnetic fields. Cool!

Monster: Synesis

Monster: Synesis

I've been asked to convert some psychic monsters from Pathfinder's Occult Bestiary. The first one on

the list is synesis, the first of the aeons I had to convert, so this was quite difficult. The others should be easier, but there's no more psychic aeons.

Alchemy: Undead, Kings, and Birth Control

Alchemy: Undead, Kings, and Birth Control

I've gotten a request to write up a birth control elixir. That's not enough for a single post, so let's also convert an oil from GURPS Dungeon Fantasy 7: Clerics and alchemical items from Libris Mortis for D&D 3.5. The holy water sprinkler from Libris Mortis is identical to the aspergillum of high power from the aforementioned Dungeon Fantasy book. I'll assign the Libris Mortis elixirs to the dark alchemy specialty.
