Monsters: Ruinous Monsters/Races

Monsters: Ruinous Monsters/Races

Champions of Ruin is a Forgotten Realms souorcebook about all things evil. It introduces three new races - draegloth (probably outside of the playable power level both for GURPS and D&D), extaminaar, and krinth. They all can be easily adapted to any other setting. There's also the living zombie template hiding somewhere in the book.

    Elven Reverie: Elves do not sleep, as members of the other common races do. Instead, an elf meditates in a deep trance for 4 hours a day. An elf resting in this fashion gains the same benefit that a human does from 8 hours of sleep. While meditating, an elf “dreams,” though these dreams are actually mental exercises that have become reflexive through years of practice. The elf is still conscious and aware of his surroundings, but immobile. The human word for an elf’s meditation is “trance,” as in “four hours of trance,” but the elves themselves call this “reverie.” When an elf is suffering from a disease, poison, or is below 2/3 of his HP, he cannot enter this meditative state and has to sleep normally.
