Monsters: Bats

Monsters: Bats

I wrote a rat post, so why not a bat post? Fire bat is a pest from the Elemental Plane of Fire. Giant bat,
vampire bat,
and inferno bat are weak monsters from Might and Magic VII. Hunting bat, guard bat, and war bat are specialized bats bred by the desmodu.

    Claws (12): thrust 1d-4 crushing (KYOS: 1d-5 crushing), Reach C.

The vampire bat can drain the victim’s life if the victim is helpless (pinned, stunned, unconscious, etc.), grappled, or willing. If he is wearing armor, the vampire bat’s biting damage must penetrate its DR. Once the vampire bat has bitten through the victim’s DR, it can drain 1 HP per second from him. For every 3 HP stolen, the vampire bat heals 1 HP or 1 FP (his choice). It cannot raise its HP or FP above normal this way.
