Monster: Grell

Monster: Grell

Grells are aberrations akin to the aboleths or mind flayers. They look like floating brains with tentacles and sharp beaks. Primarily underground dwellers, they pose a grave danger to adventurers that rely on short melee weapons, as ten clawed poisoned paralyzing constricting tentacles are nothing to laugh at.

Magic: Armor Enchantments

Magic: Armor Enchantments

There are very few armor enchantments in GURPS Magic, so I made some new ones, based on D&D special armor qualities.

Sorcery: Lightning Spells II

Sorcery: Lightning Spells II

Let's finish the lightning spells! Spark Storm is a Windstorm combined with Lightning. Wall of Lightning can create a dangerous obstacle on the battlefield. Lightning Stare is another attack spell that comes out of your eyes. Ball of Lightning is a homing projectile that passes through nonmetallic obstacles. Lightning Armor is both an offensive and a defensive buff.
And now I declare the colleges of Air and Weather finished! Finally!

Monster: Cave Locust

Monster: Cave Locust

And another vermin, but this time a weaker one. Having the size of a halfling, this insect is not dangerous alone, but could be scary in swarms, especially in cavernous terrain, where the locusts can jump around and spit goo from inaccessible places.

Monster: Giant Cockroach

Monster: Giant Cockroach

Gross
Cockroaches are notoriously hard to kill, but normal cockroaches are not a challenge for a party of adventurers. Let's make a giant cockroach then! Especially since there is a statblock in D&D 3.5 Underdark. The giant cockroaches are much more dangerous, especially in large numbers. They are hard to kill, and they exude disgusting stench.

Sorcery: Lightning Spells

Sorcery: Lightning Spells

Lightning spells are the only ones left unconverted in the colleges of Air and Weather. Let's tackle them to get done with those colleges. Explosive Lightning and Spark Cloud are area attacks. Lightning Whip and Shocking Touch are lightning melee attacks.

Sorcery: Movement Spells

Sorcery: Movement Spells

Some movement (and one Gate) spells. Cloud-Walking is a specialized version of Walk on Air. Cloud-Vaulting is a Weather teleportation spell. Swim allows the subject to move unimpeded in water. Teleport Other and Plane Shift Other can move the subject in space or to another plane, respectively.
