EDSG Episode 165 - Giftbringer and Ubyr

* Horrors! * Giftbringer: The Stephen King homage. * Almost certainly inspired by 1991’s Needful Things. * Entry written by victim/survivor. * The Horror feeds off aggression and violence, kindled by jealousy. * Powerful illusion powers, masquerades as a travelling peddler or merchant and targets small, isolated communities. * Sells items, then manipulates people’s desires to covet each other’s possessions. * Dark reflections of Chorrolis? * Natural form is shiny-skinned, winged, pterodactyl/wyvern form. * Will flee if revealed, but it is a physically potent Horror. * Trinkets and goods are worthless, masked by illusions. * Powers: Clarion Call, Gift, Horror Mark, Karma Tap. * Stat block overview. * Example of adapting tropes and ideas from other sources. * Using in adventures and campaigns. * Doesn’t usually target player characters, they will come across its plots and manipulations. * Classic or traditional Horror in many respects; straightforward, but subtle tactics. * Ubyr: The Kaiju Horror * Massive, worm-like Horror that hunts and haunts the Serpent River network. * Four hundred yards long, can stretch up to seven hundred yards. * Boiling acidic blood, does significant armor-ignoring damage to any exposed to it. * Can sense beings within 30 feet of any part of its body. * Mainly aquatic but can travel on land just as easily. * Responsible for the destruction of numerous t’ksrang kaers and citadels. * Siphon Will: If Ubyr is able to envelop a structure, it drains the life of all victims within. * Rapidly drains attribute points, rather than dealing damage. * Not many powers, its Horror Mark is only used to track victims that have escaped it. * Very physically potent. * Using Ubyr in adventures and campaigns.   Find and Follow: Email: [email protected] YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCeoifzUuBjez9V6wnvzom3g Twitter: @EDSGPodcast Josh on Twitter: @LoreMerchant Get product information, developer blogs, and more at www.fasagames.com FASA Games on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/fasagamesinc FASA Games Discord Channel: https://discord.gg/uuVwS9u Earthdawn West Marches: https://discord.gg/hhHDtXW
