Alchemy: Hostile Elixirs II

Alchemy: Hostile Elixirs II

More hostile elixirs. Potion of Madness is relatively easy to resist, but lasts a long time and messes up the imbiber's mind. Powder of Hatred/Jealousy/Lecherousness are often used to subtly alter someone's mind.

Alchemy: Hostile Elixirs I

Alchemy: Hostile Elixirs I

Here we have the first batch of hostile elixirs from GURPS Magic. Potion of Aging ages the imbiber 1 year. Powder of Death is a poison to spike food or drinks. Powder of Frustration makes the subject more likely to fail under stress. Terror Grenade is a very costly crowd control weapon.

Sorcery: Monster Spells

Sorcery: Monster Spells

Pyramid #3-109 has an interesting article - The Teramancers by David L. Pulver. It has a magical style with five secret spells that we will now have in the Sorcery format. Call Monster is a variant of Beast Summoning. Imprint Monster makes a newborn monster loyal to you. Monster Within causes the victim to fail self-control rolls for some violent disadvantages. Primordial Dissolution turns a monster into primordial protoplasm.

Alchemy: Combat Elixirs I

Alchemy: Combat Elixirs I

The first batch of combat elixirs from GURPS Magic. Most of them make more sense as potions, but I decided to make Powder of Fetching and Carrying a powder with a long duration.

Monster: Belker

Monster: Belker

Belker is an elemental smoke monster from Monster Manual for D&D 3.5. I've never used this monster, and I think I'm not the only one to overlook this creature. Its signature ability is to transform into a smoke cloud and solidify the smoke inside creatures' lungs. While Respiratory Agents usually cannot be applied to cutting attacks, I thought that I can make an exception for this ability.
