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.

    Sedative Talons (16): thrust 1d-1 cutting or impaling (KYOS: 1d cutting or impaling) + follow-up 1d fatigue damage that is treated as FP lost to missed sleep for all purposes, Reach C-1.
    Sharp Teeth (16): thrust 1d-1 cutting (KYOS: 1d cutting), Reach C.
    Disorienting Aura: A ripper is constantly surrounded by a cloud of pheromones that covers a 16-yard-radius area around it. If any other creature in the area smells the pheromones, subtract 4 from any attempts to see the anything in the area using normal vision or Infravision; there is no resistance roll. Even if someone does manage to see the ripper or another creature in the area, subtract 4 from any attack roll against it that relies on vision to hit. The ripper is unaffected by its own disorienting aura.
    Pheromones (10): A ripper can emit a cloud of emotion-controlling pheromones that affects a 16-yard-radius area around it. Anyone who smells the pheromones must roll a Quick Contest of Will against the ripper’s IQ. If the victim fails, then the ripper can affect their emotions. For some guidelines on what’s possible, see the Sway Emotions skill (p. B192). This effect will lasts for margin of failure minutes.
