d100 Dungeon Vermin (revised little guys)



Been commuting from Canberra to Sydney for work and gaming. So as my portable tablet and tower died im down to old faithful acer laptop which since last few updates has got rid of bugs. Also worked co curating paste for a festival day. I managed to include some questionable content plenty of ppl would have rejected. So my posting been slower. A local wed club and thurs wargaming club and a gamer bar open all night with cooked breakfast with dungeon decor i must visit too. Town has best wargaming scene ive seen in decades and but pathfinder seems biggest rpg game and

So todays d100 is a revision of this
aeonsnaugauries.blogspot.com.au did a awesome version too but i cant find it

I have meant to fix this. My animal project has sped up since abandoning stats every entry. My d100 petty undead was made easier by generic stats than trying to describe everything

Some average stats for quick use but special animals exist to break these standards and can be more dangerous.

Tiny
Bugs, mice, frogs, lizards, finch, cricket, under a foot length
HD 1hp AC +5 some might inflict 1hp Mv6

Small
Chicken, smaller dog, goose, cat, duck, monkey, crow, owl, under a yard in length
HD d4 AC +4 some might inflict d4 Mv9

Medium
Sheep, goat, pig, large dog, miniature pony
HD d6 or d8 AC +3 some might inflict d6 Mv12

Most dungeon vermin can sense in dark or have penalties halved
Poison often mild +2 or +4 for smaller specimens on only a d6 or so damage
