In this section we'll talk about the humanoid creatures and tipical monsters that exist in the world of Severance.

Generally speaking, this world is not filled with many strange and monstruous creatures; there isn't such a great variety of creatures but you can bet many of them can more than a match for a standard adventurer. As a skill-oriented game, even a pitiful looking goblin can be a great swordman and turn you into sushi!

• Humanoids: the most tipical creatures are orcs and goblins. They are often the most constant and common enemies of the benign races of the world.

  Orcs have the same characteristics than half-orcs though they dislike sunlight and when forced to act under it they have a -1 penalty to all their actions.

  Goblins are thin, orc-like humanoids. They have no special bonuses, aren't as bothered by sunlight than orcs (they remove a + result, if any, on any roll made under the sun) and can see in darkness as well.

  In this humanoid sub-section, I also propose using the following list of creature though they didn't appear in the game; for the same reason in my oppinion they should be very uncommon and hard to find, unless you look for them actively.

  Other humanoids: hobgoblins, kobolds, lizard men (both reptile creatures found usually on swamp or tropical lands).




• Giants: right from the game we have ogres and minotaurs. Both are quite large and strong creatures. You can also use any other giant type, but with moderation. They have mass scales ranging from +2 (small ogres and minotaurs) to +6.

• Undead: skeletons, zombies and vampires are original creatures from the game. In general, almost any other undead creature would suit fine in the world of Severance.

• Outsiders: demons in general should fit well due to a few creatures of that kind that appear in the game.



• Constructs: in general many kinds of golems appear in this game, so there is no problem on using them. Other constructs per se shouldn't cause much trouble in this setting.



• Dragons: though there aren't many clues to guess the existance of dragons in the world of Severance, I'd say there are dragons, though they are very rare.



• Other creatures: not counting giant spiders which are in the game, other creatures I think could be fine for this setting would be: large animals, gargoyles, elementals, griffin, hydrae, manticores, wyverns.

  Use any other creature and monster with moderation :)

There are also a few new creatures original from the world of Severance, who will be described here:

Hopper maws
Small monstruous humanoid
Special qualities:
Scale -2, damage by bite +1 (sharp teeth and very muscled maws).
Tough skin +1
Can see in the dark up to 60 feet
Movement 2/3 of an adult human
Skills
Bite Fair
Dodge Fair
Listen Mediocre
Observation Mediocre
Hide Great (due to small size)
Sneak Fair
Those beings are small (1-2 feets tall) monstruous humanoids, very dumb but cunning. Their more prominent feature is their huge (disproportionate) mouths filled with razor-sharp teeth. They live usually underground, on natural caves or ruins, where they feed with anything organic they can find (carrion, trash, etc). Nevertheless, with numerical superiority they can attack lone humanoids wandering on such places. Their small size and great skill (they attack with small nimble jumps usually catching victims by surprise, who also tend too often to understimate them due to their small size) are factors which help a lot to make their hunts successful...

Fire reaper (lesser demon)
Large outsider
Special qualities
Fast reflexes
Can spit fire (once every 1d4 rounds of combat) for +3 fire damage
Armoured skin (+4 DDF)
Large (scale +1)
Resistant to magic (Fair)
Skills
Climb Great
Hide Good
Listen Good
Observation Good
Search Good
Sneak Good
Jump Good
They are a kind of demons usually summoned by nigromancers or other evil powers to serve as guardians or kill nosy people getting in the way of their masters. They're big, skinless and deformed creatures (7-8 feet tall), whose right arm has the form of a huge bone reaper quite able to cut and slash its foes. They're also able to spit fire to enemies unwilling to close for melee, and they're quite cunning and thus dangerous in combat. Their Phase power allows them to dissapear intermittently from the material plane while they close for melee (anytime they move more than 5 feet). If they're attacked in those cases there is a 50% change of missing automatically because they just aren't there.

Chaos knight
Large outsider
Special qualities
Tough skin (+2)
Large (scale +1)
Plate mail (+4 DDF)
Non magical weapons (or lesser magical weapons) do half damage to them
Chaos strike (can thrown bolts of electrical force to blast their foes at a distance, once every 1d4 combat rounds) OF +4
Resistance to magic (Good)
Skills
Intimidate Good
Climb Mediocre
Observation Good
Listen Good
Search Good
Sneak Poor (plate mail included)
Jump Mediocre (plate mail included)
Knowledge (the planes) Good
Knowledge (religion) Good
They are large armored humanoids (8 feet tall) who are summoned like the Fire Reapers to defend a place. Their armor and toughness make them very hard to defeat, besides their combat skill and ability to cause large amounts of damage make them very dangerous.
