This section is designated as Open Content.
A creature with a randomly determined INT is considered sentient - it is a rational creation capable of logical thought and self-determination. A creature with a fixed INT (any INT listed as a single number, rather than a die roll) is not sentient.
The full description of creature Traits and their effect on the game is covered here.
The creature may breathe flame over an area as a Combat Action. The flame will cover a cone in front of the creature, which stretches for its POW in metres. At its furthest extent, the cone is equal to ½ the creature's POW in width.
Any character caught in the flame suffers the noted fire damage to all hit locations, though a character may dive for cover to halve this damage and armour points count as normal.
A creature may only breathe flame once in a specified time period (usually once per hour or once per day). Further attempts to breathe flame within this time period requires the creature to make a Resilience test, with a cumulative -20% penalty for every attempt.
Allows the character to treat pitch black conditions as darkness.
By sensing heat and air pressure, a creature with Earth Sense can fight and make Perception tests with no penalty, so long as their target is no more than ten metres away.
The creature gains a +30% bonus to its Athletics skill whenever swimming. In addition, the creature uses its normal Movement score when swimming.
This creature's natural weapons are as tough and durable as metal. As such they may parry weapon attacks.
If the creature touches another and makes a successful Perception test, it will learn of the target's current hit points, Fatigue level and whether it is currently afflicted by any poison or disease.
Allows the character to treat partial darkness as illuminated and darkness as partial darkness.
One of the creature's attacks, or possibly its very form, is poisoned. The description will describe the particular poison or venom the creature employs.
Each statistic block is divided into four sections.
Characteristics: Both random and average Characteristic scores are listed here.
Hit Locations: As well as the random scores for determining which Hit Location is struck in combat, there are two scores listed - the first is the natural armour points of the location (if any) and the second is its hit points.
Weapons: This features the creature's Strike Rank, attacks and damage.
Special Rules: Skills, Combat Actions, Strike Rank modifier, Movement, Traits, typical armour and special rules are noted here. The skills are the basic skills for the creature type - individual creatures may well possess enhanced scores or additional skills.

Instead of adding SIZ to STR to determine the centaur's Damage Modifier, the centaur's STR should be doubled. However, if the centaur is kicking, charging or striking with a lance or longspear, the Damage Modifier should be figured normally (STR + SIZ).

Because of the sheer size of a giant, characters of SIZ 20 or less only roll 1D10 to determine hit location when attacking it in close combat.
The following Characteristics are determined for a giant that stands six metres tall. For every two metres of height, a giant rolls 3D6+6 for STR, 2D6+6 for CON and 3D6+6 for SIZ.

Skeletons have a score of 0 for INT, POW and CHA, as they have no intelligence, will or personalities of their own. As such, attempts to control a skeleton's mind or influence its personality will automatically fail. Skeletons are also immune to fatigue, disease and poisons.
Skeletons are immune to damage from weapons that cause impaling critical hits, though an attacker's damage modifier will still cause damage on a successful hit.
A skeleton has the same Movement the creature had in life, but as a skeleton it cannot fly or swim.

Upon hatching, a wyrm is about two metres long and has 3D6 SIZ and STR. The wyrm will grow at the rate of 1D6 SIZ and STR every five years until it reaches the age of 35, when the creature's grow slows dramatically. By this point the creature is some nine metres in length. After 35, a wyrm will continue to gain 1D6 SIZ and STR every 50 years.
The statistics given here are for a wyrm between 35 and 85 years old.
