Monster: Desmodu

Monster: Desmodu

Desmodus are giant batfolk from the Monster Manual II. Unlike many races, they get a detailed writeup of their society and culture, plus some unique domesticated bats (already converted) and pieces of gear (I'll leave it for another post).

    Sonic Abilities (Alternative Abilities):
    Ray: 2d non-incendiary burning. Ranged attack (Acc 3, Range 10/100). Each use costs 2 FP. Requires a sound-transmitting medium to work; is blocked by Silence or similar effects.
    Spread: The desmodu can emit a loud screech that has a chance of stunning every creature within 8 yards. Each creature must make an HT roll to avoid getting stunned. Those who fail can roll again every second after that to recover. This is a hearing-based attack, targets with Protected Hearing resist at +5. Each use costs 2 FP.
    Despair: The desmodu may pay 2 FP and take a Ready maneuver to emit a screech. Any creature that hears it must roll a Fright Check using the Despair table (Pyramid #3-92, p. 29). If a victim succeeds at his Fright Check, he will be unaffected by this ability for one hour.
    Hope: The desmodu can emit a loud screech that improves morale of every creature within 8 yards. Each creature may make an HT roll to resist. Those who do not resist or fail to resist gain Fearlessness 2 (p. B55) for three minutes. This is a hearing-based attack, targets with Protected Hearing resist at +5. Each use costs 2 FP.
