Monster: White Dragon

Monster: White Dragon

Dragons are iconic monsters of fantasy, and I'm sure that they are one of the first things that comes up in peoples' minds when they hear "fantasy". Sometimes they are just flying reptilian beasts, sometimes they are sentient and cunning. For more information about dragons, one can read GURPS Dragons. Dragons in Dungeons and Dragons are divided into several categories: chromatic, metallic, gem, lung, ferrous, planar, etc. White dragons are considered to be the weakest of the evil chromatic dragons. They aren't very bright (when they are young, at least), but they are strong nonetheless. KYOS makes them deal ridiculous damage with their natural weapons and have huge HP. The racial template is provided only for the adult age category.

Sorcery: Cryomancy Expanded

Sorcery: Cryomancy Expanded

Even though I have already posted some ice spells, there are many other cool possible spells left. Let us expand the ice spell list even more, looking in GURPS Magic and other RPG works for inspiration.

Monster: Twig Blight

Monster: Twig Blight

These weak plant monsters appear in a low-level D&D module The Sunless Citadel, but they were Monster Manual II. Since I'm preparing to run this module in GURPS, I have to convert it. Looks like the racial template is cheap enough to use for PCs, but IQ-3 is not everyone's cup of tea.

Sorcery: Ice Spells

Sorcery: Ice Spells

Ice magic probably is my favorite elemental magic, even though ice sometimes is separated from water. GURPS Thaumatology - Sorcery has the Icy Weapon spell, and this post has the Body of Ice spell. Let's make some more!

Sorcery: More Body of (Element) Spells

Sorcery: More Body of (Element) Spells

In the last post I have converted the primary four elemental Body of (Element) spells. But there are some more. Body of Leaves and Body of Slime I already have converted in this post. Body of Wind ended up being ridiculously expensive.

Sorcery: Elemental Body Spells

Sorcery: Elemental Body Spells

A staple of fantasy elemental mages is transforming their bodies into the corresponding element. GURPS Thaumatology - Sorcery has the Body of Wood spell, so let us build the variations on it, using the existing Body of (Element) meta-traits.

Monster: Quasit

Monster: Quasit

The weakest of demons, quasits are tiny flying beings that can turn invisible and deliver poison. They
are weak in combat, but mobile and hard to hit. More useful as spies or familiars for evil wizards.
