Monsters: Elemental Demons

Monsters: Elemental Demons

Dragon Magazine Compendium I has an entire new category of demons - elemental demons. That's... five demon categories now? But anyway, these ones are actually pretty cheap point-wise and seem to be useful as low-ish level foes and potentially useful summons.

Monster: Spirit Centipede

Monster: Spirit Centipede

Another monster from my old conversion notes (there's not that many of those left, actually). The spirit centipede is a very weird monster from the Oriental Adventures. A shapeshifting centipede with nine eyes on a humanoid head with mustaches. I have always found the illustration to be very unsettling. I wonder what's the mythological basis of this monster is.

Mass Combat: Manticore

Heroes on the Mass Scale from Pyramid #3-84 allows us to convert characters and monsters into mass combat units. I've never tried that before, so let's try creating a unit based on the manticore.

Sorcery: Energy Spells III

Sorcery: Energy Spells III

Some more spells. Most of them just grant an energy vulnerability, but Energy Transformation Field is a very experimental spell build.

Remember the spellthief class from Complete Adventurer? It's a very interesting class that did not see much play. Let's adapt its abilities to GURPS.
