Lens/Monster: Husk Vermin/Husk Spider

Lens/Monster: Husk Vermin/Husk Spider

Husk vermin are undead creatures formed from the carapaces of monstrous vermin, animated by evil spirits. Barely anything new compared to the previously posted wraith spiders, but this lens can be applied to other arthropods. In any case, remove poison and web before applying it.

Monsters: Wraith Spiders

Monsters: Wraith Spiders

Wraith spiders are undead creatures formed from the chitinous husks of monstrous spiders but animated by evil spirits. They are featured in a Forgotten Realms book City of the Spider Queen.

Ultra-Tech/Vehicle: Hoverbike

Ultra-Tech/Vehicle: Panlunar Consortium Hoverbike

I decided to have some fun and crack open GURPS Vehicles 3e, GURPS Ultra-Tech, and Pyramid 3-96 to create a hoverbike. Have to say, making hoverbikes is much easier than spaceships.

Racial Templates: Planetouched

Racial Templates: Planetouched

D&D has a whole bunch of planetouched races - races with extraplanar ancestry or influence. D&D 3.5 assumes that all planetouched independent of their "normal" race have the same stats, but Pathfinder elaborates more on this issue and presents some more variants. In GURPS, however, we can treat some of the planetouched templates as a lenses that are applied to the character's racial template.

Monsters: Monstrous Spiders

Monsters: Monstrous Spiders

Giant spiders can be considered classic dungeon monsters. I never knew that the monstrous spider entry in Monster Manual actually details two varieties of spiders - web-spinner and hunter. Here I present racial template for all types and sizes, because they can be used to represent different species, not age categories.

Vile Weather

Vile Weather

The infamous Book of Vile Darkness includes several new types of vile weather. I've always liked supernatural weather effects.

Treasure: Sword of Puissance

Treasure: Sword of Puissance

A recent discussion in multiple places at the same time really made me think. Depending on the enchanting system in use and some other factors, sometimes it is more economically efficient to enchant a weapon with extra damage than to make it Fine or Very Fine.
