Creating a Character
Planescraft character creation follows all
the guidelines as they are laid out in Fantasy
Craft and expands upon them with additional
options.

Species
Planescraft features 9 playable species, in
addition to those already presented in Fantasy
Craft.

Aasimar
You are an aasimar, a plane-touched
creature with both mortal and celestial heritage.
You are beautiful, with serene and calm features
and an inner radiance that shines through.
You prefer to blend in with your
neighbors and form no independent societies.
Because of your upright and moral life you
are regarded as a troublemaker in most places,
except for the Upper Planes. Tieflings resent you
because you lived a better life than they could.
Unlike other outsiders, you age and must eat.
Common Personality Traits: Noble,
honest, courageous, suspicious, honorable,

Chapter 1: Hero 7
 Bariaur
You are a bariaur, native to the rolling
hills and woods of Ysgard where your kin
wanders the lands in flocks, searching of
troublemakers. When a vile foe is located, you
charge into glorious battle.
Standing roughly half a foot taller than
a human, you are centaur-like, with the lower
body of a ram, sleek brown or golden fur and
cloven hooves. Your upper body is humanlike,
powerfully muscled and sporting a pair of ram
horns atop the head.
You are a carefree creature, with almost
no place to call a permanent home. Although
you usually congregate in herds, from time
to time you come to cities out of curiosity or
business. Unlike other outsiders, you age and
must eat.
Common Personality Traits:
Wanderlust, carefree, brave, persistent,
stubborn, joyful, frivolous
Common Physical Traits: Ram horns,
goat-like body, muscled, curly mane
Example Names: Bjassi, Geir, Hisapore,
Jek, Karris, Meg, Severin, Surefoot, Sven

Genasi
You are a genasi, a plane-touched
descendant of a union between a mortal
and a genie (or rarely some other elemental
creature). This elemental heritage cannot be
denied and everyone knows you’re something
more. You usually display personality traits
relative to your elemental nature – fire genasi
are hot tempered and quick, while light genasi
are intense and egocentric.
Your kind is very rare and thus others
are more distrustful, especially on the Outer
Planes which are so far removed from the
Inner Planes. However, genasi also display
hatred towards all other genasi, not just
those of opposing element, so it is extremely
unlikely to encounter two or more together.
Unlike other outsiders, a genasi ages and
must eat.
Common Personality Traits:
Straightforward, determined, mysterious, self-
centered, self-reliant, misunderstood
Common Physical Traits: Intense
gaze, radiant appearance, expressive features
Example Names: Genasi generally
take Human names.

Heritage (wind duke, stone prince, flame lord,
or sea king). Unless you choose this you are a

Rogue Modron
You are a rogue modron, a genderless
clockwork creature from Mechanus that became
self-aware and abandoned its duties. You are
exactly 6 feet tall with a cubelike body.
You feel like you have been born
yesterday, for you lack childhood, family and
social rank, among others. Even your memories
of Mechanus slowly fade into oblivion as time
goes on. You need organization, rank, authority,
regulation and harmony to be at ease so you
look out for these things all the time. You don’t
believe in or understand the concepts of chance

Chapter 1: Hero
and vulnerable to various effects and
higher damage from some sources. You
may not take Chance feats or benefit
from magical luck and your Initiative
check is always considered to be 10.)
Rogue Nethling
You are a rogue nethling, also called
Neth’s child. You have been formed directly
from the substance of the “Demiplane
That Lives” on the Ethereal Plane but have
attained a separate identity and intelligence
apart from your creator. You resemble a large
pinkish circular membrane but are able to
take forms of other beings.

brown skin

a Reach 1. Your maximum Wounds equal

Squeeze I (dmg 1d10 acid; notes:

with your Squeeze I attack, you
absorb 1d10 of victim’s memories
which grant you insight bonuses to
saves, skill checks, attack rolls, or spell
points until your next level (GM’s
choice). You also gain regeneration 1
for 1 day. However, after absorption
you revert to your base form and have
65% chance to lose 1 experience level.
Finally, absorption has 5% cumulative
chance to revert you from your rogue
status and make you come back and
merge with the Demiplane That
Lives. You gain shapeshifter I with one
favored form. Each time you assume a
form other than your base or favored
form, there is a 5% chance to lose 1
experience level.)

You are a tiefling, a plane-touched
creature with both mortal and fiendish
heritage. You have a disturbing appearance,
11
with sinister and angry features and a wicked radiance that shines through.
You are often persecuted and feared throughout the planes. You live as an outcast from an early age—as soon as your
heritage shows itself—which contributes to your bitter outlook on life. You keep others at a distance, often compensating
for their loss with cruelty or depravity. You are very slow to trust others and always wary of a friend suddenly becoming an
enemy. Unlike other outsiders, you age and must eat.
Common Personality Traits: Nosy, shifty, quick temper, uncivilized, individualistic, lonely
Common Physical Traits: Small horns, hooves, scales, tail, wicked gleam
Example Names: Tieflings generally take Human names.

Class
Your class choices provide handy
shorthand when describing your character. All
Classes presented in Fantasy Craft are available
in Planescraft. Nineteen new Master Classes are
presented here.
Chaos Jester (Master)
“How many Hardheads do you
need to apprehend a happy
Chaosman? Nobody knows - they
never managed to do it! Hah-hah-
ha!” - a joke overheard in the Hive
Chaosmen are known for their
unpredictable behaviors, be it outrageous,
calm, etc. But there are those Chaosmen that
always see an opportunity of fun in the grand
pattern of chaos. Laughter follows in their steps
and most of them try to bring smiles to other
people’s faces. Chaos jesters are Chaosmen that
only see the funny side of the unpredictable
chaos. They are sometimes accused of having
a weird or morbid sense of humor but they’re
Chaosmen and can get away with it.
Party Role: Backer. You’re everybody’s
friend... at least until your jokes get them mad.
You can solve problems with a laugh or cause
new ones. As long as your antics are over the
top and chaotic, you’re fine. Just watch for those
perpetually dour.
Disguise, Impress, Notice, Prestidigitation,
Ride, Sense Motive, Sneak
Skill Points: 6 + Int modifier per
level
Vitality: 9 + Con modifier per level
Class Abilities
Beguiling: At Level 1, you gain the
beguiling NPC quality (see Fantasy Craft page
231).
Path of Joy: At Level 1 and 4, you
take a Step in the Path of Chaos/Curses/
Deceit (your choice). If you’ve already
completed these Paths, you may instead take
a Step along any of the other Xaositects Paths
(Fortune).
Smile & Punch: At Level 2, when
utilizing improvised weapons (see Fantasy
Craft page 362), you use your Impress check
for your attack roll and save DCs (if any).
Lively Furniture: At Level 3, you can
temporarily animate furniture for 1 round
per Class Level with an Impress check (DC
25). You can animate 1 piece of furniture (see
Fantasy Craft page 253) per Class Level.
Joke’s on You: Wherever you go,
excessive laughter follows. At Level 4, you
gain the Wisdom draining III extraordinary
attack with a 30 ft. aura.
Die Laughing: At Level 5, your jokes
kill. Targets of your critically successful
Impress checks must make a Fortitude save
(DC 10 + 1/2 your Career Level + your
Charisma modifier) or die at the spot. NPCs
with no sense of humor are not affected.

Chapter 1: Hero 19
 Deathbringer (Master)
“Mess with the True Death
and mess with me.” - mantra of
the deathbringer Juq Too-Cruel
For some Dustmen, death
cannot come too quickly. Release from
this False Life is a best thing one can
ask for. Those that constantly cheat
Death and escape its grasp with magic
and unnatural vile pacts are watched
carefully. The Deathbringers are a
group of Dustmen assassins, specially
trained in attacking anything that lives.
They spend so much time among the
dead that they willingly and slowly
abandon the “False Life” and embrace
undeath. At least until their time to
leave comes.
Party Role: Combatant /
Specialist. You are both feared and
respected with a reason. You may not be
able to do a lot among non-living, but
where there is an opportunity for death,
there you are.
Class Features
Requirements: Alignment

Charisma, Strength
Class Skills: Athletics, Blend,
Disguise, Medicine, Notice, Ride,
Search, Sneak
Skill Points: 4 + Int modifier

Vitality: 12 + Con modifier

Class Abilities
Path of Death: At Level 1 and
4, you take a step in Path of Death. If you’ve
already completed this Path, you may instead
take a Step along any of the other Dustmen
Paths (Darkness, Quietus, Spirits).
Detect Living: At Level 1, you can
make a Medicine check (DC 15) within Close
Quarters and know whether any NPCs are alive
or not (those with Undead and Construct Types
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
and those with 0 or less Wound Points are
not considered alive). You may also detect
anomalies within living beings (such as an
unnaturally long lifespan or lingering effects
of being raised/resurrected.)
Smite Living: At Level 2, when you
spend and roll an action die to boost damage
against a living opponent, you may replace
the action die’s result with 1/2 your Career
Level (rounded up). This may not cause the
die to explode.
Graveyard Tales: At Level 3, you may
spend an action die to converse with a dead
creature or the owner of someone’s remains.
Possess Undead: At Level 4, you
may “push” your will into an NPC with the
Undead Type with a TL lower than your
Career Level. Unwilling targets may resist
with a Will save (DC 10 + your Class Level
+ your Cha mod). If you succeed, your own
body becomes mindless and starts losing 1
vitality point per round. Death of your own
or the host’s body is traumatic and you lose
all the remaining action dice for the session.
If your host’s body is destroyed and your
own body is gone, you’re forever lost in the
Negative Energy Plane.
Mantra of the Dead: At Level 5,
you may gain temporarily the Ghostly or
Vampiric Template (your choice) for a number
of rounds (minimum 1) per session equal to
your Career Level + Wisdom modifier. The
duration needs not be consecutive and can be
spent as you want.
Defiler (Master)
“The shadow of my passing
blinds the faithful leaving them
open and vulnerable.” - a defiler
If there’s one thing Athars love, it’s
when they prove that the almighty gods aren’t
all that mighty. Defilers are specially trained
agents that are able to punch a Power and
get away with it most of the time. Sure, their
blows aren’t powerful enough to topple down
Mount Olympus or bring about Ragnarok but
they do count when there›s lots of them. It
is no wonder then that the Athar are eagerly
introducing their most promising members
into the ranks of Defilers. This is a tough job
20
and one can count on making lots of enemies,
but what›s that compared to a multiverse
without the Powers getting in the way to the
Great Unknown.
Party Role: Specialist. You specialize on
confronting divine servants of a faith of your
choice.
Class Features
Requirements: Alignment (Athar),
Wisdom 13+, Heroic Renown track rank 5+
Favored Attribute: Intelligence,
Wisdom, Charisma
Class Skills: Blend, Bluff, Crafting,
Disguise, Investigate, Notice, Prestidigitation,
Ride, Search, Sense Motive, Sneak, Survival
Skill Points: 8 + Int modifier per level
Vitality: 6 + Con modifier per level
Smite Faithful: At Level 2, when
you spend and roll an action die to boost
damage against an opponent with opposed
Alignment, you may replace the action die’s
result with 1/2 your Career Level (rounded
up). This may not cause the die to explode.
Divine Resistance: At Level 3, you
gain Divine Resistance equal to 3 times your
Class Level.
Godless Horde: At level 4, you gain
the Followers feat (see Fantasy Craft page 98).
Blind the Inner Eye: At Level 5, you
may forbid access to abilities (Class Abilities,
Paths, feats, etc.) which have opposed
Alignment as a requirement to any with equal
or lower TL than your Career Level within
Close Range.

“No, I don’t have a spell for you.
This magic works only for me.” - an
honest esoteric disciple
If there’s anything a Fated sets his eyes
on, you can bet that it will surely be exploited in
one way or the other, as long as the Taker is the
only one that benefits from it. In this case magic
is exploited to enhance, support, rebuild and
heal its user... and no one else. Esoteric disciples
are mages that train themselves into getting the
most out of their personalized spells and magic.
Although one cannot expect from a Taker to
give, none will deny his value as a self-sufficient
ally.
Party Role: Combatant / Solver. You
are a solitary adventurer, with abilities to help
you solve problems all by yourself. There might
actually be one thing you need, and that’s
a witness who will spread the tales of your
legendary accomplishments.
Class Abilities
Circle of Power I: At Level 1, you
may cast Level 1 and lower spells you know.

Esoteric Defense: At Level 3, you can

an equal amount of spell points once per

Etherfarer (Master)
“He dreamt the big dream and it
sucked him right in. No one has
ever seen or heard of him ever
since. Who knows whose dreams
he is part of now.” -old Burrowbeard
The etherfarer is expert in taking
advantage of the special environments native
to the Ethereal Plane. It is an ideal occupation
for those characters who plan to spend any
significant time upon the Ethereal. Etherfarers
exist as a significant subset of the Etherfaring
Society, a group of individuals that make their
homes permanently upon the Ethereal Plane,
and so have developed many new methods and
skills for navigating and surviving the ethereal
mists.
Party Role: Combatant/Solver. You are
a consummate expert in conditions, dangers,
and opportunities within the misty reaches of
the Ethereal Plane. You make a good trader
and guide for any that seek to travel across the
Ethereal to a distant interplanar destination. On
the other hand, you make a terrible foe against
those who oppose you in your own intangible
domain.

Hoister
“Whenever I hear someone say

a building crumbling down
somewhere in the distance.
Sigh-” –one annoyed Hardhead officer to
another
When the time for serious action
comes, the Revolutionary League must
be ready. With limited resources at hand,
they still manage to have some of the most
efficient agents around. These agents, known
as hoisters, are trained to spread chaos and
destruction wherever the enemies of truth
walk. The most efficient way to bring an
end to an official government is to destroy
and raze everything it owns - the heavier the
damage the better. Because of their ability
to survive and quickly vanish after their
mission, the hoisters are in demand even
outside the Revolutionary League.

Sodkillers love their motto - might

Trained to use magic in order to enhance
their physical strength, they are a refreshing
alternative to a common mage that likes to
stay out there far away when things get close

that expects a physically weak spellcaster in
close combat. Actually, that might just be the
thing imaners expect from their foes. A path
littered by broken teeth and smashed armors
that follow in their trail supports that claim.

belief, but extra jink doesn’t hurt either. The

Master of the 5 Senses
“No sensory stone experience

master of the 5 Senses holding a lecture at

It is often overlooked that the Sensates
rely on their five main senses to experience
the wonders of existence. Sure, everybody else
does it, but some Sensates manage to take it
a step further and expand that which Mother
Nature gave them. Masters of the 5 senses
are Sensates which have absolute control over
their body and mind. They are able to sense
things beyond what is considered normal for

their kind. This makes them extremely keen and
observant of their surroundings, something that
every true Sensate appreciates.
Party Role: Backer. You use your sense

Planar Ranger (Master)
“I’ve been to places you don’t
even want to hear about. I think
I’m the right man for this quest.”
- an experienced planar ranger
Members of the emerging new faction, the
Mind’s Eye, are particularly busy exploring
the planes searching for new challenges to
test them, quite the opposite of what their ex-
Godsmen and ex-Signer members did. Now,
these folks travel a lot and know their way
around the Planes. They’re even considered
to be the best travel guides, right next to the
veteran Sensates. Planar rangers are experts
at survival on the Planes, who have endured
the most hostile environments known. These
experiences allow them to master unique
abilities that draw their power from a plane.
Because of their ability to handle anything
thrown at them, they are often hired to serve
as guides. Seekers don’t mind to ear and get

Proselyte (Master)
“I know you’ll never forgive me
for what I have done to you but...
at least try to have some faith in
me now.” - a proselyte to his victim
Many are surprised to hear that
proselytes are recruited from the ranks of
former convicts. It is a rare sight when a
murderer of thief decides to switch sides and
starts working for the law. Proselytes are full-
fledged members of the Sons of Mercy that

hearts of others, hoping to do it right this
time. Everybody deserves a second chance
- or at least that’s what the Sons of Mercy

Riven (Master)
“I know who I am. Most of the

Godsmen and reincarnation go hand
in hand, that is a common knowledge.
While most work to improve their current
reincarnation, a few are willing to go back

Chapter 3: GRIMOIRE 75

Chapter 4:
Forge
Planewalkers require coin and gear just
as all other heroes do. Expertise and skills
are vital to your planar travel, but without
the right items and tools, your skills won’t
always be enough. This chapter focuses on new
equipment, magic items, reputation, and related
rules.
Goods
Goods are essential survival equipment
— lanterns, loadbearing gear, and other handy
devices that can mean the difference between
life and death for a curious planewalker.
Good Descriptions
Bariaur Harness: This specially
designed frame backpack takes advantage of
the bariaur’s large back and unique physical
configuration.
Bariaur Saddle: Bariaur might in
exceptional situation carry on of the slow-
movers rather than just leaving him behind.
For these situations, some bariaur carry
special saddles, resembling in many ways
a cross between a horse’s saddle and the
aforementioned bariaur harness.
Bariaur Shoes: Like horseshoes, these
iron-shod shoes protect a bariaur’s feet when he
runs or walks on rough surfaces.
Celestial Etheroscope: The etheroscope
comprises a complex and extremely delicate
set of brass-bound lenses, tubes, and glass vials
filled with colored liquid. By looking at light
refracted though the lenses and colored liquids,
a character can attempt to discern the tides of
fortune on any particular plane.
Modron Storage Container: The most
common sort of modron attachment is a boxlike
container of metal and leather that can hold
additional items.
Armor Upgrades
Each armor may only have 1
craftsmanship and 1 materials upgrade at a
time, though any number of customizations
may be applied. Also, species craftsmanship
is only possible if the species is present in the
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
campaign (check with the GM if you’re
unsure). Upgrades may not be applied to
fittings and may not decrease any armor
penalty below 0.
Upgrade Descriptions
Baatorian Green Steel: This ore is
produced on Avernus, the first layer of Baator.
It is lighter than normal steel and the baatezu
are very protective of it thus making it quite
rare on planar markets.
Bariaur: Simple barding isn’t enough
for the bariaur and each armor must be
custom-made.
Githzerai: Githzerai prefer armors
that allow them to easily move through liquid
parts of Limbo.
Karach: This shapeshifting metal is
made by anarchs from Limbo’s raw chaos
matter. The material is particularly light,
almost like a cloth. If broken, the armor can
be repaired at no cost by an anarch.
Psychic: Ornately carved in the
githyanki tradition, this armor protects the
wearer from the physical effects of the Astral
Plane’s psychic wind.
BOWS
This category includes bows,
crossbows, and exotic variants.
Bow Descriptions
Arrows and Bolts: The following missiles can
be found on the Planes.
• Acidic Sponge: The putty-like globes
on the heads of these missiles are
actually dried-up aquatic sponges
found in many of the great lakes of
Bytopia. Seemingly unremarkable
to most scholars, these tiny sponges
were accidentally discovered to have
the property of being able to absorb
acids and store them in their bodies
with no harm to themselves.
• Acheronian: These missiles have been
fashioned from one of the great
cubes of Acheron and carry a portion
of Acheron's heart within them.
• Rule-of-Three: These missiles are
the work of a twisted mechanical
genius. Just beneath the head of
each bolt is a small catch, that when
pressed, unlocks the head of the bolt,
allowing it to divide upon impact.

tactics in combat.
Githzerai: The githzerai are known for their thin and sharp blades.

Arcane Key
Arcane key, also known as spell key, is a
secret item unique to each plane. It is capable of
attuning owner’s spells to the magical vibrations
of the plane. The owner’s spells from a single
Discipline or Energy / Element start functioning
normally, ignoring suppressed, enhanced,
diminished, and other conditions imposed by
the plane except for countered (see page 239) and
those beyond arcane key’s capabilities (e.g. the
howling winds of Pandemonium). Arcane keys
can be anything – runes, words, or equations.
Some arcane keys only attune a single spell.

Blood Fly Charm
Blood flies are pests believed to have
originated from one of the Lower Planes. In
many ways, they resemble mosquitoes with
an insatiable appetite -- a cloud of blood flies
can suck all the blood from a human body
within minutes. Their stingers are capable of
Chapter 4: FORGE
penetrating even the skin of fiends.
Despite their vicious appetite and
temperament, blood flies are used by healers
to draw forth diseased blood from an
individual or even drain blood from a dead
body. On occasion, blood flies are used to
siphon off rare types of blood and are then
paralyzed with powders or spells and kept in
storage for future use. This particular blood
fly charm seems to hold the blood of a lesser
fiend, an abishai, in its food sac.

Clipped Copper Charm
This copper piece has been “clipped”...
most of the copper has been shaved off, no
doubt to still keep the appearance it is a coin
and allowing the “clipper” to use the shaved
copper to make another coin. Although
many Hive dwellers practice this method
of “making money,” when the Fated faction
practices it, they do so with a frightening
sense of purpose, creating charms that reflect
their own miserly natures.
In order to create these charms, the
Fated faction seek out failed business owners
and other individuals who once possessed
great wealth, then had a reversal of fortune
and were left desitute. These individuals
are then given enchanted carving blades
and asked to “clip a copper” for the Fated
in a tedious day-long ritual, which infuses
the copper coin with the last traces of their
former luck. The ritual and the nature of the
individual clipping the copper allows a minor
enchantment to seep into the coin and affect
the fortune of the whoever uses it.
When the clipped copper charm is
flipped into the air, it will spill into a rain of
copper pieces, and bestow some luck upon
the user.

Edge of Oblivion
When its powers are awakened and
its name known, “Edge of Oblivion” becomes
entirely black… where once just the edges were
ebony, now the blackness has spread across the
entire blade. The chill the blade radiates has
increased ten-fold, so much so that it is painful
to hold it for too long.
There is some speculation that a Sphere
of Annihilation has somehow been encaged
within the axe itself, but again this is only
speculation. Given that the planes are infinite,
anything is possible.

Made for the special “dozen-units” in the
modron Army of the Blood War, heartspears are
long, smooth weapons crafted of some peculiar
metal. They are made for one purpose only – to
slay tanar’ri. The chant on their creation is that
sometimes, when a powerful baatezu wants
to punish an upstart inferior, it will throw the
unfortunate into the energy pool of Primus.
After a time, Primus becomes tired of holding
these flawed souls in its person and crafts them
into heartspears.

This device allows a cutter to find his

direction of the nearest portal, conduit, path
or vortex that lead to that plane. The compass
spins about, eventually stopping and indicating
the direction by means of a small arrow which
juts out of one of the halves.

Whispering Flask
This container holds a peculiar powder
called “Whispering Motes” (loose translation
of the Gith expression), a form of healing
powder commonly used by the githzerai on
the Plane of Limbo. When the stopper is
pulled and the spice touched on the skin of
a wounded person, the spice travels through
99
 the injured person’s body, generating raw matter
to fill up the “holes” in his physical form, no
matter how small or large. In order for the
spice to work, the user must concentrate on its
healing effects... with the proper discipline, a
practiced githzerai can even heal the greatest of
wounds. In addition to its curative properties,
it is also the element in several of their rites of
passage... it is believed that the spice also fills
in the “holes” in a person’s psyche, removing
doubts and giving them focus and purpose.

Codex of the Infinite
Planes
The Codex is a massive tome, far larger
than any book has a right to be. It is said that
two strong men can barely lift the volume. The
covers are made of flawless black obsidian and
the pages therein are sheets of lead hammered
so thin that they flex like paper. These are
illuminated with strange writings in languages
unknown and illustrations both beautiful and
horrific. No matter how many pages are turned,
there is always one more.
No one knows the origin of the Codex
or what its original purpose might have been
except that it also known as Yagrax’s Tome.
The first mention of the Codex ties it to an
unnamed wizard-priest who tyrannically ruled
ancient lands now sunk beneath the waves. The
source of his power, the book was also the force
that sank his empire beneath the waves. Only
the Codex survived; the secrets of its use were
apparently lost with the wizard-priest, for now it
is notorious for madness and death.
After a life of study, the archmage Tzunk
actually found the artifact shortly before he
vanished from the world. Of his extensive
writings only fragments survive, and most of
these are ravings about a beast and how Tzunk
came to rule the City of Brass.

Flail of Apomps
Created by the shator gehreleths at their
master’s request, the flail is a cruel weapon
used only by the callous and spiteful. The head
Chapter 4: FORGE
of the flail has three sides, each of which is
inscribed with a rune that denotes of the
ranks in gehreleth society – farastu, kelubar,
and shator. The haft of the weapon has
twelve names of various yugoloths carved
into it. These names can be used for any spell
requiring a true name and if one of these
yugoloths is slain, its name fades from the

Horned Casque
This suit of bronze platemail was
crafted for Baphomet, Lord of Minotaurs.
The suit’s shoulder plates and bronze helmet
are a single piece. The helmet is shaped like
a massive bull’s head. It has no eyeholes
or visor but magic allows the wearer to see
normally through the bull’s glowing mauve
eyes. Whenever the wearer spots a gnoll or
ghoul, servants of Baphomet’s sworn enemy
Yeenoghu he must instantly attack, regardless
of circumstances. Anyone trying to restrain
the wearer is attacked as well. Baphomet is a

Immolator
The identity of the tanar’ri lord who
ordered this flaming, dazzling suit is unknown.
The immolator is lacquered in scarlet, gold and
orange. The helmet bears a golden horned crest.
The black lacquered face mask is that of a man
with diabolical features and a long mustache.
The wearer becomes obsessed with setting
fires. She will do her best not to be caught

Infinite Panoply
The infinite panoply was enchanted for
Fraz-Urb’luu, Prince of Deception. The Panoply
transforms visually into a different suit of armor
at each sunrise, irrespective of the wearers
wishes. It never looks exactly the same twice. It
can appear crafted with the finest workmanship
from valuable materials, or seem assembled by
a half-blind apprentice using whatever came to
hand. Sometimes the armor’s pristine, other
times battle-scarred. The armor is as unreliable
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
as its patron. At a critical moment (GM’s
discretion), the suit will vanish, teleported to
some distant, random destination, perhaps
even another plane.

Juggernaut
This 12-ft.-tall exoskeleton is
composed of fused bones from many
different creatures and monsters. Crafted
for Orcus, Prince of the Undead, it might at
first be mistaken for a bone golem or similar
construct. Atop the juggernaut’s shoulders
rests the magically preserved skull of a
nalfeshnee tanar’ri who displeased Orcus.
While animated, the skull’s eyes crackle with
eldritch energies. Upon the utterance of a
secret command word, the back ribcage of the
suit splits open, allowing the wearer access to
a complex leather harness within. The wearer
insets her arms and legs into cavities within
the juggernaut’s mighty extremities.
102
 Once strapped inside, the back of the
wearer’s head is immediately penetrated by a
bone proboscis. This acts as a conduit between
the wearer’s mental commands and the suit.
Being within the Juggernaut is extremely taxing
to the wearer who becomes fatigued after
each day of using it. Each time the proboscis
is inserted into the wearer’s skull, the wearer
loses 2 vitality points permanently. At 0 vitality
points, the wearer acquires Risen Template (see
Fantasy Craft page 293).

When held by a user in a specific type of
location, the user can create a permanent two-

Lavashu
A living being rather than an
inanimate suit of armor, this symbiote was
birthed in some unknown fashion for the
Faceless Lord, Juiblex. The Lavashu appears
as a ball of viscous black tar. When touched
by a potential host, the ball uncoils itself
enveloping the host from head to toe in a
tarry layer, but leaving the hands, eyes, ears,
nostrils, and mouth uncovered. The host
cannot remove the lavashu, which permits
normal bodily functions to continue.
Only upon host’s death will the
Lavashu retreat, returning to its ball shape
to await the next host. The Lavashu has
Alignment (Chaos, Evil, Juiblex) and might
try to seize temporary control over the owner
if he thinks that’s the best thing to do at the
moment.

Mark of the Savant
Cleverly designed, this object splits
into two pieces to form punch daggers. When
properly used they are deadly in combat. The
easily accessible levers and gears shoot out
and twist various blades almost as if they were
extensions of the hand. Although excellent as a
combat weapon, those same mechanisms used
to shred the flesh of an enemy can also be used
for the delicate procedures of opening locks and

The pelagic aegis consists of a matched

Sects
On planes where the factions don’t
hold sway as much as they do in Sigil,
other organized groups with wide-reaching
philosophies take their place. These groups are
called sects. Some are even former factions that
fell in importance or membership. Others are
just groups that espouse ideas unique or limited
to a particular plane or realm.

Renown
Each member of an Organization has
a Renown Rank designating his current status
within it. Tables 5.1 to 5.3 sort organizations
by their Renown – Heroic, Noble, and Military
in addition to presenting Rank titles within
each. For example, all Harmonium members
pursue Military Renown in order to advance in
their faction’s ranks and members with Heroic
Renown Rank 3 are called Notary 5s.
If your Rank is 10, you won’t
automatically become your Organization’s
leader but you will be the most probable
candidate once the current leader steps down
(or is pushed down).

 The Athar
(Agnosticists,
Defiers, the Lost)
The gods are frauds; the
unknowable truth lies beyond the
veil.
According to these folks, the great and
feared powers are liars! Those who claim to be
the “gods” of the planes are just mortals like us.
Sure, there might be a one true god, or maybe
even more than one, but such power is beyond
all understanding. Such beings cannot be seen,
spoken to, or understood by mortals.
Ysgard, Mechanus, Baator, and the like
are all lies, too. These planes aren’t the abodes
of supreme beings, just lands shaped by the wills
of the powers. Anyone could be able to do it
with enough expertise.
All the Athar want is to part the veil,
discover the secret behind everything, and look
on the face of the unknowable.
Archetypes:
• Bitterly betrayed: I’ve wasted my life
worshipping false gods! Someone must
pay.
• Street preacher: Listen to me. The
powers are frauds – I can prove it!

own fate, and there’s no one else to blame for

weaklings; if they were meant to succeed, they

works, according to the Takers: Everybody’s got

for things to come true, not just a lot of hoping.

(Incantifers,

Wizardly magic is the be-
all and end-all of existence.
Everything in the multiverse can be
controlled by magic, and anyone
who can do that is the high-up.
Centuries ago, there is a faction in Sigil
called the Incanterium. They believed that
arcane magic is the secret to everything and
collected every magical item and lore in Tower
Sorcerous in the Clerk’s Ward. Then one day, it
disappeared mysteriously. Some believed they
challenged the Lady of Pain and failed. But they
are not as lost as people think they are.
The sect no longer exists as a united
front and the surviving members, now called
Incantifers, are selfish, ambitious cutters who
augmented themselves to the point where
they are no longer quite what they once were.
All Incantifers have the tell-tale sign of blank,
shining silvery eyes.
Archetypes:

To know the multiverse,
experience it fully. The senses
form the path to truth, for the
multiverse doesn’t exist beyond
what can be sensed.
According to these folks, the multiverse
is known by the senses - the only proofs
of existence. Without experience, without
sensation, a thing isn’t.
Well, the chant is no one’s going to
know the big dark until they’ve experienced
everything - all the flavors, colors, scents,
and textures of all the worlds. Only when a
body’s experienced the whole universe does
the great dark of it all finally get revealed. It
may seem like an impossible task, but there
just might be a way to bob the problem cheat
the multiverse, as it were. It just might be
that the multiverse doesn’t exist beyond what
a body can sense. The answer to what’s over
the next hill just might be «nothing.» Given
that, the multiverse has limits, and a body
can try to experience it all.
Archetypes:
• Hedonist: Party, party, party! Pleasure
above all.
• Connoisseur: The rarest experiences are
best; doing the same thing over and
over is foolish.

The Transcendent
Order (Ciphers)
Action without thought is
the purest response. Train body
and mind to act in harmony, and
the spirit becomes one with the
multiverse.
These guys say that for a body to become
one with the multiverse, he’s got to stop
thinking and act. Action without thought is
the purest form of thought. When a cutter can
know what to do without even thinking about
it, then he’s become one with the multiverse.
Course it ain’t that easy. Any addle-
cove can blunder in and act without giving it
a thought, but that’s not the goal. A body’s
got to work hard at learning himself - learning
his own mind and instincts until the right
action comes automatically. It’s done by
training both the body and mind. Just like
the way thieves practice their crosstrade, a
Cipher’s got to train his mind (the source of
action) and body (the actor) to be one thing.
There’s no difference between the two, no
separation between thought and motion.
Body and mind act as one - the hand moves
before the thought reaches it.
So what’s all this get a fellow, then?
Once mind and body are in harmony, the
spirit becomes in tune with the multiverse.
A blood understands the purpose of the
multiverse and knows just where and how he
should be.

As these sods see it, the multiverse

 Chapter 6: Foes
The Planes are filled with various
creatures of wonder – beings made of purest
flame or dire fear. Some of these creatures are
already known to inhabitants of the Prime
Material Plane, such as celestials, elementals,
fiends, genies and all others that take great
interest in the world and affairs of mortals.
On the other hand, many creatures are
rarely encountered outside their native planes
and in most cases that is a good thing indeed.
Imagine how a single sugo would easily disrupt
the delicate balance of local wildlife with its
unholy presence! Fortunately, petitioners that
inhabit the Outer Planes are quite capable of
dealing with these locals – after all they are
to some extent spawned from the same plane.
Planewalkers should tread carefully on the
Planes.
Npc Qualities
The following NPC qualities are available
in addition to those in Fantasy Craft.
NPC Quality Descriptions
Chaos Shaper (+4 XP): The NPC can
inherently control Limbo’s raw chaos matter (see
page 251) as a free action, even while unconscious
or asleep. While not concentrating, the NPC
uses Wisdom score instead of Intelligence
to determine the area and type of terrain
generated. Also, he may craft karach items (see
pages 76 and 78) from this chaos matter.
Class Ability (Varies): The NPC gains
a master class ability. The ability’s XP value
is determined by the Class Level at which it
becomes available and multiplying it by 1.5
(round up).
Epic (+25 XP per grade): The NPC is
greater than life, requiring a successfully finished
Subplot per grade before encountered.
Rogue Templates
The NPCs in the Fantasy Craft Rogues
Gallery are, by default, human. To shift their
Species, simply add one of the following
templates.
Aasimar (+8 XP)
Benefit: The NPC gains Outsider Type

stability. Do not add the Acrobatics or the
Athletics Signature Skills.

Heritage [Wind]), his Dexterity score rises by
2, and he also gains natural spell (Levitate).

action (Ride, Swim), critical hesitation, and damage

Construct and he gains Achilles heel (electrical),
devour, lumbering, shapeshifter I, and spell defense II.

However, his Charisma decreases by 2.
Tiefling (+8 XP)
Benefit: The NPC gains Outsider
Type and his Intelligence score rises by 2. He
also gains damage defiance (cold), feat (Devilish
Heritage), and natural spell (Darkness I).
Bestiary
Unlike NPCs in the Fantasy Craft
Rogues Gallery, these creatures aren’t available
as contacts, hirelings, or followers except with
special GM permission.
Aasimar
Aasimar are handled with a rogue
template (see page 140). Species feats can be applied
for additional archetypes, such as wild blood.
Aasimon
The aasimon are a race native to the
Upper Planes. Aasimon neither lie, cheat,
attack needlessly, nor steal, and they are
impeccably honorable in their dealings. In this,
unfortunately, they are sometimes predictable
and even vulnerable to manipulation.
Agathia (singular agathinon) are the
fighting forces of the Upper Planes, defend
the borders of their planes against intruders.
Warriors also face each other in endless cycles
of “holy” wars. In its natural form, the agathion
is an elf-like creature with opalescent, luminous
skin and eyes which actually shine.
Astral devas are principally employed in
the Astral Plane or on any of the Lower Planes.
They are tall, slender, and graceful with golden
skin and hair, amber eyes, and large white wings
tinted with gold.
Lights are beings of energy, appearing
as swirling mists of light. They often serve
temporarily as cohorts for powerful good
characters.
Monadic devas are usually employed in the
Ethereal and the Inner Planes. They have dark
brown skin, jet hair, and piercing green eyes.
Their wings are white with a silver sheen.
Movanic devas serve primarily on the
Chapter 6: Foes
Prime Material Plane, Negative Energy, and
Positive Energy Planes. They have milky
white skin and silvery hair and eyes.
Planetars are a powerful group of
beneficent outsiders who serve the good
deities. One or more will typically serve as the
right hand of a minor deity, while numbers of
planetars will attend a major deity. A planetar
resembles a tall and powerful humanoid with
opaline skin and double wings, hairless head,
and blue glowing eyes.
Solars are the most powerful
beneficent outsiders, usually directly serving
a greater deity of good and typically as his
or her marshal, steward, etc. The skin of a
solar is the color of molten copper, hair color
is bronze, and eyes are glowing topaz. Its
form is beautiful and muscular, and the deep,
resonant voice is commanding. The wings are
double and of a coppery gold color.
Tactics: Aasimon rarely resort to
violence unless they face forces of evil or
work to foil their schemes. They almost
always give their foes a second chance,
allowing them to redeem and keep their lives.
Aasimon use cold read to identify their foe’s
motives and act accordingly to their ability to
judge others, which is almost flawless.

Abyssal Ants
This vicious giant vermin hails from
the Abyss. A typical nest may contain as
many as 300 workers / warriors and a single
queen. The worker/warriors defend the queen
and colony, gather food, attend the eggs and
larvae and establish the ecosystem.
Queens appear as a huge, bloated
version of the normal Abyssal ants. They have
no stinger.
Workers / warriors resemble dog-sized
ants with piebald coloration of putrid pink
and fish-belly white.
Tactics: Workers also act as warriors,
and vice-versa, so they exploit the fact that
most opponents underestimate their fighting

Arcadian Pony
A strong, thick-bodied pony from
the plane of Arcadia, this beast has a light
green hide and ears like a rabbit. A single,
long tentacle grows from its chest, just at the
breastbone; the tentacle can hold a torch,
helping the pony to find its way in the darkness.
Arcadian ponies will not carry riders, although
they will pull carts and cabs.

Arcane
The arcane are a race of traders and
merchants who travel the planes in search of
business. They’re tall lanky blue-skinned giants
with long thin faces and spidery delicate hands.
They have a strange reluctance to enter Sigil

Tactics: Arcane aren’t’ much for a

Archons
The petitioners of Mount Celestia,
archons have charged themselves with the
protection of the plane and all those who are
innocent or free of evil within its breathtaking
vistas.
Hound archons are powerfully muscled
humans who have canine heads. The hounds
are the guardians of the first and second
layers, and they command the lantern
archons in the defense of Mount Celestia.
They mostly inhabit the first and second layer
and know the paths up and down the Mount.
Lanterns, lowest of archons, appear as
floating balls of light. They are the equivalent
of the infantry in prime material armies.
Swords appear as humans with wings in
place of arms. Their hair is silvery, and their
eyes glow with inner light. They wear collars,
leg greaves, and breastplates. Sword archons
destroy the fiends who seek to destroy Mount
Celestia and its inhabitants. They also carry
the messages of the tome archons to all layers
of Mount Celestia.
Thrones are metal-clad humans, with
golden skin and fair hair. They avoid combat
whenever they can, instead sending their
minions forth to fight their battles. Throne
archons rule towns of Mount Celestia.
Tomes, the rulers of the seven layers,
look like winged humans with hawk heads.
They despise fighting personally, though
with the tomes it’s also a matter of global
prudence, as opposed to purely personal.
Since there are only seven known tomes, their
deaths would spell disaster for the archon
hierarchy.
Trumpets resemble winged elves, save
that trumpets are even more fair. They are
archons of resurrection and song, whose
duty is to guide petitioners called back to

Asperim
Asperim, natives of Baator, are relatives
of imps. They have a particularly bizarre sense
of humor, delighting in crude practical jokes and
malicious pranks. An asperim is a squat, green
creature resembling a cross between a dwarf and
a giant frog with long, pointed ears. Asperim
are so annoying that baatezu avoid them, even
others of their own kind. As a result, asperim
have been forced to locate on the outermost
circles of Baator.
Tactics: Asperim dislike physical combat,
and will generally teleport away if their pranks
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
are unsuccessful. If unable to escape, they
will try to summon aid, then quickly utilize
Mirror Images and other defensive spells.

Astral Dreadnought
The gods alone know what these
creatures are or where they come
from but one thing is certain:
where the astral dreadnought goes,
even the most powerful fiends
know fear. It is a gigantic creature
with gaping jaws, huge pincerlike
claws a reddish, armored carapace
and a single malevolent eye. The
dreadnoughts lower quarters are
serpentine.
Tactics: Astral
dreadnoughts’ cunning backed
up with great strength makes
them very dangerous foes capable
of destroying a whole party in
a matter of moments. They are
aware of the advantage smart
spellcasters have on the Astral
Plane so they disable them with
Anti-magic Field I before closing
in on them. Their powerful pincers
and bite can quickly finish even
the most protected targets. Astral
dreadnought is fiercely protective
of his own astral cord.

Asuras are found throughout the Upper

may serve as the voices of knowledge, sharing
wisdom that guides mortal oracles and mystics.
Noble warriors they have birdlike ruby talons
for feet and wings of brightly burning flame,
marble – white flesh and their eyes are orbs of
purest fire.
Tactics: Asuras rely on their great flying
speed and spells to incapacitate foes before
resorting to use of their flaming sword.

The aurumvorax, or golden gorger, is
mean, vicious, and always hungry. Despite its
small, badger-like size and shape, it’s heavy
as its flesh is very dense. An aurumvorax has
a golden coat and its 8 legs are tipped with
copper-colored claws.
Tactics: When attacking, it scuttles forth
from its burrow, locks its teeth into the victim,
and brings its clawed legs into play.

Chapter 6: Foes
Baatezu
Baatezu (or devils as mortals call
them), are a strong, evil-tempered, well-
organized race of fiends native to Baator. In
their rigid caste system, authority derives
not only from power but from station.
The baatezu pursue two obsessive goals
– annihilate the tanar’ri and corrupt the
mortals.
Abishai are a race of scaly reptilian
baatezu with leathery wings and a barbed
tail. Most serve Tiamat and are common
on Avernus and Dis, the first two layers of
Baator.
Amnizu dwell primarily on Stygia, the
fifth plane of Baator where they guard the
river Styx. They are gruesome and unseemly:
short with elongated, bald heads, stubby legs
and arms, and large, leathery wings. The
amnizu enjoy a nobility of sorts. They follow
orders only because of their desire to advance
and their fear of the pit fiends.
Barbazu are the vilest soldiers in
Baator, employed in large numbers as elite
shock troops. A barbazu is a foul, scaly
humanoid creature with a long tail, clawed
hands and feet, pointed ears, and a snaky,
disgusting beard. The barbazu are the most
violent baatezu, taking advantage of any
excuse to attack.
Cornugons are elite defense forces. They
look frightening - only vaguely humanoid,
and covered with grotesque scales. Their huge
wings and snaking, prehensile tail add to
their intimidating demeanor. In combat they
favor a long barbed whip. They are fearless
fighters, rarely retreating from combat even
against overwhelming odds.
Erinyes are female, but can appear as
men, and always the most perfect physical
specimens. They cannot, however, pass for
mortals, for their huge, feathery wings reveal
them. Cunning and evil, they have the special
duty among the baatezu of tempting mortals.
Erinyes prefer to use powers rather than fight
physically.
Gelugons, the guardians of Cania, are
second in power and station only to the pit
fiends. They have insectlike bodies, with
multifaceted eyes and a thick tail with razor-
sharp spikes.
Hamatula are solitary guardians and
patrollers of the third and fourth layers
of Baator. They resemble large monstrous
humanoids, covered from head to toe with
sharp barbs. They rarely use weapons in
combat, preferring their natural weapons
instead.
147
 Kocrachons are loathsome, beetlelike
fiends, with heady eyes staring out from beneath
their enameled carapaces. The kocrachon would
far rather flee than fight, for its job is to cause
pain and extract information rather than to
serve as militia. However, when backed into a
corner, this baatezu is just as deadly as any of its
brethren.
Lemures, the lowliest denizens of Baator,
are grotesque, disfigured blobs of molten flesh,
with a vaguely humanoid torso and head. Unless
ordered otherwise, lemures relentlessly attack
anything except another baatezu, regardless of
danger.
Mezzikim are the tortured souls of baatezu
in Hell, banished to the Prime Material Plane
after 666 nights of torture. They appear as
a bestial-looking devil with scales, claws and
wings.
Nupperibos are misshapen, damned beings
who are blind, deaf and mute. Bearing a passing
familiarity to the lemure and sharing many of
the same duties, the nupperibo is even more
detested by the baatezu than its lower ranked
cousin. A nupperibo is dedicated to physically
harming and oppressing those creatures
unassociated with baatezu. Needless to say, a
nupperibo has no strategy or tactic other than
to seek and destroy.
Osyluths are Baator’s militia forces and
have power over baatezu of higher station.
They roam the layers and observe the actions of
other baatezu, ensuring that they act properly.
Oslyuths resemble dried, rotting humanoid
husks with a large scorpionlike tail.
Pit fiends are the most terrible baatezu,
giant winged humanoids, gargoylish in
appearance, with huge bat-wings that wrap
around their body in defense, large fangs that
drip with vile, green liquid, and hulking red,
scaly bodies that burst in flame when they are
agitated. Wherever they are, pit fiends wield
enormous power - They lead legions of dozens
of complete armies.
Spinagons serve as messengers and lackeys
for more powerful baatezu, which includes just
about all of them. They look like gargoyles –
small humanoids with wings and a spiked tail.
Spinagons avoid combat, preferring to flee and
alert more powerful baatezu.
Tactics: Baatezu are extremely intelligent
opponents, who always have a “plan B”
prepared. Most powerful members have even
more alternate plans laid out. Although capable
fighters, they put emphasis on deception,
trickery, and tactics above all else. They use Call
from Beyond freely in Blood War and in a life
or death situation, since their highly ordered
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
nature requires them to return favor to the
summoned aiding baatezu.

Bariaur are handled with a rogue

Bebilith
Also known as “creepers of the Abyss”
and “barbed horrors,” bebiliths are huge
arachnids that roam the Abyss, preying on the
tanar’ri, or by some accounts punish them.
Tactics: A bebilith attacks any creature it
sees. It usually picks one target and concentrates
its attacks on that opponent, using its Web to
isolate the target from its comrades. Should
the bebilith become overwhelmed by tougher
opponents, it often attempts to bite one or more
of its victims and retreats, allowing its poison to
do its work.

Bladeling
Bladelings were once rumored to be
tieflings. These creatures live in Ocanthus, the
fourth layer of Acheron, amidst the whirling
blades of ice and iron. Bladeling eyes glow
like translucent chips of glacial ice tinged with
purple. Skin and bones protrude in the form of
sharp blades of wood and ice and steel, jutting
out at all angles.
Tactics: When entering combat, a
bladeling wades in hands first. Or it may opt to
wield any weapon. Bladelings are quick to leap
into a fray, and there’s reason why - there’s not
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
a whole lot that can hurt them - and they
press that advantage. Other bladelings also
go immediately on the offense for another
reason: They’re truly brave. These bladelings
attack the wielders of dangerous weapons
first, trying to get a measure of their enemy.

Bodak
A bodak is a human who was changed
to a monster after venturing somewhere
within the Abyss where mortals were not
meant to be. The evil of the human’s nature
and the exposure to demonic substances
triggered a terrible metamorphosis from man
to bodak. The sexless bodak has dark gray,
pearly skin. The muscular body has no hair,
and the head is long with oddly distorted
features. The eyes are milky-white, vertical
ovals of large size. For reasons unknown,
occasionally a good-aligned mortal’s mind
survives the transition to bodak. This “benign
bodak” has all the powers and abilities of a
bodak, but the mind of the mortal it once
was. Such creatures usually die quickly in the
Abyss.
Tactics: Bodaks hate and attack
anything they see, even creatures of obviously
greater power. They use their Death Gaze as
often as possible since they are aware of their
weak melee capabilities.

Burzugdur
Burzugdur are lesser beings of evil that
often serve as companions to vile mortals.
Imps (see Fantasy Craft page 271) are very
rare on the material plane, but on the planes of
Acheron and Baator they are common.
Nalgs hail from Gray waste, Gehenna
and Carceri. It strives to bring woe to others
and power to itself. A nalg resembles a gaunt,
nearly skeletal humanoid with a mottled dirty
pink hide. Its arms end in clawed hands, while
its froglike legs terminate in two-toed, webbed
feet. Dull black coarse hair sparsely covers its
body. Its baleful yellow eyes glare above a foxlike
muzzle filled with sharp teeth.
Quasits are natives of Pandemonium and
the Abyss. Although their intelligence is low,
quasits are sly and cunning.
Tactics: Should a burzugdur imp be
forced into combat, it turns to sabotage and
traps before attacking directly. In dire situations,
it uses its natural invisibility and flees.

Chapter 6: Foes
Chaos Elementals
Chaos elementals, also known as
the elementals of chaos, are intelligent
creatures native to the inner planes. Each of
these elementals pursues its own interests
vigorously with little, if any, care for order on
either its home plane or the Prime Material
Plane.
Eolians are combative creatures,
seeing battles as the ultimate form of chaos.
The vain eolians consider themselves chaos
personified. The homes of these creatures are
vast, swirling maelstorms that catch up their
belongings, constantly tossing them aloft.
They appear as shifting wind-beings that
look like heat shimmers, although they are
actually cool and solid.
Erdeens are lumpy rock beings
with long veins of metal and ore running
throughout their bodies. Fascinated by the
chaotic instability of earth, these elementals
feel amazed that so many creatures view it as
a stable element. Erdeens have been known
to trap adventurers underground and engage
them in bizarre discussions about the nature
of reality. Those who please the quixotic
elementals may go free, though what will
please an erdeen can be difficult to deduce.
Pyrophors appear as flickering coals,
with fingers of flame that periodically flare
out. They move very quickly and, in the air,
resemble small meteors. Perhaps the most
evil of the elementals, revel in the destructive
powers of fire. They often use their abilities
in malicious play.
Undines normally look like featureless,
transparent snakes. They can change shape
easily, sometimes adopting a form with many
tentacles to handle objects. The solitary
undines possess a philosophy similar to that
of djinn: to aid those whom they consider
worthy. Little is known of the undines’ social
structure or ultimate goals, if they have any
at all.
Tactics: Unlike elementals, these
beings do not undermine the importance of
tactics and generally attack their foes only
if they are certain of their victory. Although
physically not on par with other elementals,
chaos elementals make up for that with their
potent natural spells which are capable of
incapacitating multiple targets at once.

Chaos Imp
A chaos imp is commonly confused with
mephits. They seek to escape Limbo which is
possibly only via infesting objects and creating
chaos and confusion.
Tactics: They are not interested in
fighting someone, they just want to infest their
target’s gears. These pests are sometimes used
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
by fiends, Anarchists and Xaositects as “gifts”
to their enemies.

Chronolily
Chronolilies are sentient flowers who
nectar reveals images of the past (orange
petals), present (violet petals) or future
(yellow petals). Each chronolily has a specific
ability.
Tactics: A chronolily is non-aggressive
and can take no attack action. It however has
a death throes effect which can be harmful.

Chulcrix
These gargantuan hunters of the Deep
Ethereal Plane are mercifully rare - their size
and ferocity are more than a match for most
cutters. This gigantic worm is covered with
black, chitinous skin that secretes glistening
mucous reeking of rotten meat. Its gaping
circular maw is lined with small sensory
tendrils, and two pincered arms extend
menacingly.
Tactics: A chulcrix is a fairly passive
combatant, relying on its resilience until
all foes are drawn in and devoured. It
often surprises foes with its speed and
maneuverability when it launches itself at
attackers using ranged weapons from afar.

Colchiln
The Colchiln, natives to Gray Waste, are
most often found underground in mountainous
caves that extend into the inky depths of the
earth, lower level dungeons where abominable
rites are practiced and homed non-human
deities are worshipped. They are thus often
incorporated into legions to fight subterranean
wars to which those “evil ones of the pits and
caverns” are accustomed. A colchiln is black in
color, bipedal, with scalelike skin and lidless,
bulbous white eyes. Its mouth sports no teeth,
but its red forked serpent’s tongue is used to

Tactics: The colchiln attack with their
iron-hard claws, but have no teeth. They usually
try to set up an ambush.

Colfel
The colfel is a native of the Negative
energy plane. The colfel is a large quadruped
with black, slimy, furless skin that appears
very much like gangrenous flesh. Its eyes are
midnight black with starwhite pupils, and the
nose is tipped by a pair of sharp prongs. A row
of spikes runs down its knobby back.
Tactics: These creatures often compound
their strength by banding together into large
groups. Rarely will fewer than four or five be
encountered. Also, they are highly intelligent,
and attack and react accordingly, so they are
very dangerous monsters even when fighting
vastly superior opposition. A deadly tactic they
often use is that of ganging up on just one
member of a group of opponents, and attacking
until this victim is dead before moving onto the
next.

CORTELESTIAL
A cortelestial is a four-legged heavily
armored creature from head to tail with
tiny eyes and a wide smile. Its huge maw
functions as a portal to another plane.
Residents of Sigil considered it bad luck to
harm the creature.
Tactics: A cortelestial is rarely actively
aggressive and hunts by mesmerizing victims
to its jaws. Persons that succumb to its
fearsome appearance are eaten, while all others
are transported through the portal.

Cranium Rat
Individually, these creatures are little
more than clever vermin, but cranium rats
are seldom encountered singly. They’re many
creatures and one creature all at once, as they
possess a type of group mind. A cranium rat
is automatically in telepathic contact with
every other such creature which allows them
to share not just thoughts, but also brain
capacity.
Tactics: While dangerous and
unpleasant, the cranium rat is not an
aggressive creature. Like most vermin,
155
 it avoids open attacks in favor of flight or
ambushes. Indeed, in the latter action the
cranium rat shows a cunning skill. Cranium
rats usually move in packs of ten or more. They
hide in garbage or the crack of a wall until a
victim ventures close and then swarm out and
strike, but even then they won’t fight for long.
If the victim cannot be slain or crippled in a just
a few rounds, they break off and scatter in all
directions, making pursuit almost impossible.
The pack breaks its telepathic link with rats that
have fallen under another creature’s control.
With increasing Intelligence comes increasing
powers, as shown on Table 6.1: Cranium rat
abilities in pack.

Cursed Crimson Crawler
Cursed crimson crawlers are natives
to the Baator known for their great hate and
rage. The top half of this creature resembles a
muscular, red-skinned humanoid with a pair of
short, coal black horns jutting from its brow.
The lower half of its body is that of a red-scaled
serpent.
Tactics: Cursed crimson crawlers throw
heavy rocks at their opponents before closing
to melee. These bone-breaking grapplers seek to
grab and crush adversaries with their incredible
strength while thrashing at others with their
spiked tail knobs.
Pain. They are always working, crafting and
repairing the planar city. Tall, slender, and
looking like the riddles they speak, the dabus
are feared by some to be the true masters of
Sigil. For others they are nothing but slaves
that maintain Sigil’s mighty engines. Their
thoughts literally fill the air when they pass,
for the dabus’ speech is illusion shaped into
pictures that mortals can then reshape into
sounds - the dabus communicate not by word,
but by the complicated structures of the
rebus.
Tactics: The dabus are not combative
creatures. They seek no battle, as destruction
is not their role and purpose in life. Still, in a
city like Sigil, avoiding combat is not always
possible and the dabus will fight if they must.
If there is a Harmonium patrol nearby, the
dabus will try to warn them.

 Darklore
A darklore is a wriggling mass of bluish-
gray amorphous flesh with dark green veins
pulsing just below its body surface. Originally
spawned in the first layer of the Gray Waste,
darklores now spread throughout all the Lower
Planes. They can steal and bestow dark and evil
knowledge upon their victims, draining them
of their intellect or perplexing them with the
foulest secrets.
Tactics: Darklore is a very dangerous
opponent, capable of fighting a whole party at
once.

Dawnspirit
Dawnspirits are paragons of goodness
and light from the Upper Planes. They are
believed to be the spirits of great champions
of good that perished while fighting evil. A
dawnspirit looks like a beautiful, androgynous
humanoid that glows with a pure, white light.
Tactics: Dawnspirits eagerly battle evil
creatures, particularly fiends. A dawnspirit uses
its Purge at the beginning of any battle against
evil outsiders, aiding its allies in the process.

Devete
A devete is a blue-skinned humanoid
with large eyes and a long swishing tail.
It roams the astral plane as if on a quest.
Sages speculate that the quest may involve
returning to the racial birthplace. When in
a clutch, devetes become xenophobic and
malicious. They are believed to have evolved
from the extinct kyleen from the Outlands
after being infected with the chaos plague.
Tactics: Depending on how a devete
is approached, literally, determines if its
venomous bite will be employed or not. Those
foes that cannot see further from their own
blade can expect to see just how dangerous a
devete’s poison can be. Those that are more
prone to diplomatic ways will be attacked
with claws exclusively if it comes to that.
Such is the way of devete; its tactics depend
on how each foe approaches it.

Devourer
Haunting the deep reaches of the
Ethereal and Astral Planes, the creatures
known as devourers have a reputation
for being among the most fearsome and
loathsome of foes. A gaunt, skeletal creature
of great height, it usually has a tiny figure
trapped within what appears to be the bones
of its ribcage. This tiny figure is the life
essence of devourer’s last victim. Despite
their appearance and their requirements for
existence, they’re not undead.
Tactics: Even if it had no special
abilities, a devourer would be a terrible
opponent, for its bony claws can flay enemies
alive.

Diabolus
Diaboli (singular diabolus) come from
the Demiplane of Nightmares. Creatures
from this realm are the stuff of nightmares
for humans and similar beings-though most
diaboli are in fact cheerful and well-meaning
who believe that chaos is the most natural thing
in the multiverse. Conversely the diaboli and
other intelligent natives regard non-natives
as nightmares incarnate. The diaboli are well-
muscled with mauve or lavender skin color.
Hooves for feet and three fingers on their hands,
two small horns on head and a tail.
Tactics: They have little interest in
violence, and follow a strict moral code of non-
interference. Diabolus warriors become so to
protect their communities and out of a spirit of
adventure; few like to kill for killing’s sake.

Diakka
The diakka are the most common
inhabitants of the Gray Waste. These predators
are more organized than most creatures found
on their home plane, and cannot tolerate erratic
behavior.
Carcenes, being both more powerful
and more intelligent, are likely to lead any
given flock, even though varath may be more
numerous. They resemble huge, squat pelicans
with foreshortened bills on human-like heads.
Varaths are known for their loon-like
cries, while carcene make gobbling croaks and
claws, and both of these creatures can be heard
Chapter 6: Foes
throughout the Gray Waste. They resemble
huge storks with bills, human-like heads and
faces, and thin, human-like arms.
Tactics: Diakka are sneaky, devious,
and cowardly in combat. They size up prey
before battle, and only attack those who
appear to be weaker than they. Diakka will
deceive opponents into thinking there are
more of them whenever possible. The largest
of the diakka will use Jump to bound in and
out of melee. Diakka are cowardly and fear
death, and powerful opponents may appease
them with the right sort of compensation.

Dimensional Warper
The warpers come to the Prime
Material Plane to learn about the creatures
native to the plane. They resemble thin
saurians with large, round eyes and long, thin
limbs with a sturdy, wing-like membrane that
stretches between the arms and legs ending at
the claws and feet respectively.
Tactics: Dimensional warpers
generally prefer to observe rather than fight.
However, if it feels it has learned all it can
from watching a group of adventurers, it
probably attacks them to learn first-hand
about their fighting skills. It only wants to
learn about them, not kill them.

Dirtwraith
This fungus, native to the Abyss, is
commonly called “dirtwraith” based on the
mistaken belief that the fungus is a form of
undead which erupts from corrupt dirt beneath
a decaying body. Instead, it is actually a semi-
intelligent fungus that dwells in the root systems
of larger plants. Skeletons found hereby attests
to its efficiency, not its genesis. Dirtwraith is a
mass of pale yellow spheroids connected by a
matrix of thick, fibrous strands.
Tactics: A dirtwraith attacks by
animating its host tree. If the host tree dies, the
dirtwraith does not die, but simply moves to a
new host when it thinks it is alone. To kill the
dirtwraith, one must either exhume it or wait for
it to emerge when it tries to change a new host
tree.

Diurge
Diurges are terrible humanoid creatures
from the Negative Energy plane. These beings
are extremely sadistic, hating everything that
lives, and willing to manipulate anyone in
the process of achieving their goals. They are
horrible conquerors, subjugating other life forms
ruthlessly, and causing pain wherever they go.
They are similar to humans in appearance, but
have dark gray skin, red glowing eyes, and either
white or metallic-red hair.
Tactics: Diurges often carry weapons,
but prefer to attack living creatures with their
Chill of the Grave ability.

Dogs
There are many canines on the Planes,
and most are vastly different from their Prime
Material cousins – both in appearance and
capabilities.
Aoskian hounds are night-stalking, two
headed canines native to Sigil. They were first
bred by the followers of the god Aoskar. The
god’s been destroyed and nearly forgotten,
but the hounds are thriving. The blood of
Aoskian hounds is used in creating magic
relating to doorways.
Hounds of law are used by the vaati
as trackers, guardians and messengers. They
appear as faintly luminous spheres that buzz
with vibrations but assume the form of a
trim, muscular hound sometimes. A hound of
law has no attack in its true form and must
change form into that of a dog to gain any
attacks. If overmatched, it turns invisible and
flees.
Koulgrim, also known as canis astri, are
the ultimate development of the githyanki
breeding pens. It is a massive, bearish dog
with a shaggy black coat, powerful jaws,
and a compact build. Kaoulgrim are raised
in githyanki colonies on the Prime Material
Plane, since the nature of the Astral Plane
does not allow conception or growth. Weak or
otherwise unsatisfactory members of the litter
are killed as soon as their deficiencies become
apparent.
Moon dogs, often mistaken for baneful
monsters, are native creatures of Elysium and
champions of the causes of good. They look
very similar to large wolf hounds with amber
eyes and slightly human heads in appearance.
Rummeles are canines from the planes
of Ysgard though they are also found on
Limbo, Arborea, and the Prime Material
Plane. Though they are somewhat unreliable,
rummeles generally mean well and are
particularly friendly toward mortals. A
rummele looks somewhat like a longlimbed,
160
shaggy dog with pendant ears and a long,
slender muzzle. Its woolly coat may be of
almost any color, and it has shiny black eyes.
Because of its fondness for mortals, a rummele
sometimes travels shapeshifted as them. If it
learns that it has been identified, however, a
rummele will almost always leave the area.
Shadow mastiffs are natives of the
Demiplane of Shadow. They prowl at night or
during times of darkness, always seeking shelter
just before light returns. Shadow mastiffs arise
as the result of an animal being killed by an
undead shadow.
Shadowhounds are fierce canines native to
the Abyss and serve the tanar’ri. They resemble
large, black dogs with long, whipping tails and
razor sharp teeth. No individual details are
visible on their bodies; they seem to exist only
as murky silhouettes. They feed off the fear of
their victims.
Spectral hounds are creatures from the
Astral Plane. A spectral hound looks like a
ghostly dog, pale and translucent, with eyes that
are formless pools of utter blackness. They are
excellent trackers and once put on a trail, they
can follow it for days.
Szarkel, also known as canis chaosi, are
raised on the plane of Limbo by the githzerai.
They are of slender build, with a long muzzle,
a long body and tail, and long legs. A szarkel’s
eyes are large and yellow and the fur is gray.
Szarkel sometimes show an astounding degree
of independent thought and initiative, but even
the githzerai find them difficult to train. They
are restless creatures and seldom remain in one
spot for long.
Xotzcoyotli (singular xotzcoyotl), also known
as canis speluncae, cavedogs or bat-faced dogs,
are natives of the underground, coexisting with
the dark elves, the brain fiends, and others.
They have large, upright, pointed ears, and
leaflike projections, on their snouts like those
of bats. A xotzcoyotl has small dark eyes and a
slender, graceful build.
Yeth hounds are fearsome flying hounds,
magical creatures of the night, which hunt
mortals. The yeth hound pack, with its baying
bell-like cries, causes fear to any being. Even
those who stand their ground know fear, and
that fear returns to them in the night or in
dark places. Indeed, some metaphysicians have
theorized that the hounds embody fear itself.
Tactics: Dogs commonly go for the
throat, especially if an opponent is distracted or
prone. They use sparingly invisibility or natural
spells to enhance their natural attacks.

Dragons
Although various dragons inhabit the
Planes, they are much rarer there than on the
Prime Material Plane. Nevertheless, these
dragons are some of the most powerful beings
in existence.
Adamantite dragons are said to be the
most powerful of all dragonkind. They dwell
on the Twin Paradises of Bytopia, where
they are the self-appointed guardians of
the entire plane. They are the epitome of
goodness, and are willing to sacrifice anything
and everything for the common good of all
sentient creatures in the multiverse. These
dragons are enormous when compared to
other dragons, and unbelievably powerful.
They are born with fully developed coats of
162
adamantite, which shines with a brilliance that
is awesome to behold, but painful to those with
evil in their hearts.
Moonstone dragons are connected to
the faerie worlds and some guard them. The
dragons shun the material world but may choose
to influence it through agents. Some have
encountered them in their dreams. Its scales
shimmer pale silver with a hint of blue. X; Qualities: Achilles heel (cold, electrical, fire,
Rust dragons are found on Acheron. They
do not keep a hoard, preferring to roam as they
will. Instead they concentrate on gathering steel,
iron and other metals for food. They look much
like metallic dragons, but their skin is pitted and
corroded-looking, with butterfly wings and the
antennae on their head.
Shadow dragons are sly and devious. They
are instinctively cunning and are not prone to
taking risks. A shadow dragon’s scales and body
are translucent, so that when viewed from a
distance it appears to be a mass of shadows.
Shadowdrakes, also known as death
drakes, Styx dragons or darkwyrms, are relatives
of dragon kind who inhabit the upper reaches
of the fiendish planes. Unlike many dragons,
shadowdrakes’ve got no interest in conversation,
servants, or plots; every sod they meet’s just
another meal waiting to be eaten. They have
long, serpentine bodies with vestigial wings
that can’t support the creature in flight. The
distinguishing feature of a shadowdrake is its
twin tail, which forks about halfway down its
length.
Tactics: Dragons have a strong love for
physical combat, and may enter battle with little
or no provocation against their foes. They use
the full variety of physical attack forms that
their size allows them, making as many attacks
as possible in any given round.

Dreamslayer
The dreamslayer looks for sleeping
victims and attacks them through their dreams.
When seen in a dream, its common form is a
black-shrouded humanoid figure. Its eyes are
glowing white sockets and facial features are
twisted into a look of pure evil. Its true form
however is that of a winged black saurian with a
featureless, glowing white face.
Tactics: The dreamslayer always attacks
sleeping victims using its Living Nightmare
ability. It always seeks a dream featuring
other people, such as family or friends that
the dreamer misses. The dreamer sees the
dreamslayer entering the dream and “slaying”
other dreamfolk in gruesome ways. After all are
killed, he advances to kill the dreamer.

Dust Devil
The Dust Devil is an elemental
combination of earth and air. Although not
as strong as its cousins, the air elemental
and earth elemental, it is far more intelligent
than either. The Dust Devil is motivated
by its desire to possess precious metals and
gems. It appears as an amorphous cloud of
dust hovering more than a few inches off the
surface.
Tactics: A Dust Devil will abandon its
victim only when that character is dead, or
until the character falls unconscious if there
are more potential victims in the vicinity to
be dealt with.

Eater of Knowledge
An eater of knowledge resembles a
humanoid heap of leathery hide and naked
brain matter oozing from openings in its
distended skull. A reek of decay surrounds
it. Eaters are minions of the brain fiend’s
god Ilsensine, created from the zombies in
the Caverns of Thought to venture into the
planes and add to the deity’s knowledge.
They also serve as instruments of vengeance.
Tactics: Eaters of knowledge appear
awkward and softskinned, but their soft,
bulbous bodies conceal sinews of iron and
move with surprising speed. The eater can
strike powerful blows with its crude fists and
can easily stand toe-to-toe.

Ebon Tiger
This great cat seems to be made entirely
of black fire. Its shadowy body moves through
the ether with unusual grace. The stealthy
beasts known as ebon tigers are predators
stalking their prey from the Ethereal Plane.
They look like tigers wholly composed of black
fire.
Tactics: Against formidable opponents,
it instinctively uses hit-and-run tactics, biting
repeatedly to deliver its poison, and then hiding
to wait until the foes are slow and blind, at
which point it attacks again.

Eladrins
The eladrins are the native race of
Arborea. They’re wild and free beings that exult
in their own existence and live a life of song and
celebration. The eladrins aid all people of good
hearts against the forces of evil, but seek to do
so with individual acts of kindness or heroism.
To them, mortals should be free to choose their
own destinies without fiendish interference.
Bralani are the wildest and most feral of
their kind, existing from heartbeat to heartbeat
in a glorious, never-ending passion. No eladrin
can match the fury of an angry bralani, or the
keening depths of her grief or sorrow, or the
blissful heights of her joy. In their natural form
they resemble short, stocky elves, with bright
Chapter 6: Foes
silvery-white hair, and their eyes are an ever-
changing rainbow of hues that match their
current mood. They generally take the shape
of a whirlwind of dust, sand, or snow, racing
across their beloved plains like living zephyrs.
Coures are the smallest eladrins,
tiny spritelike creatures who can be found
through Arborea. They’re messengers, scouts,
pranksters, and mischief-makers who pester
and annoy any travelers or more serious
eladrins they run across. They resemble tiny
slender elves with long, gossamer wings. They
usually assume the shape of a tiny ball of
faerie-light.
Firres live for beauty and their lives
are consumed by a fiery passion for art of
any kind, and they strive to make their
own existence a living image of wonder and
delight. They resemble stocky elves with
brilliant red hair and fiery red eyes. Firres
sometimes transform themselves into fire
elementals or pillars or balls of flame.
Ghaeles are the knights errant of the
eladrins and wherever evil and tyranny raise
their ugly heads, they respond. Ghaeles
resemble tall, athletic high elves with pearly,
opalescent eyes and radiant aura. They
generally take the form of an incorporeal
globe of eldritch colors.
Novieres celebrate the beauty of the
lands and emerald waters of Ossa and are the
most straightforward and approachable of
the eladrins. Their skins are greenish, blue,
or golden in hue, and their hair ranges from
deep blue-green to pale blond. They generally
take on the shape of water elementals or
golden dolphins made entirely of shimmering
water.
Shieres serve and protect Arborea
as the noble knights of the eladrin. They
resemble unusually tall, very fair-skinned
elves with a pale metallic hair, and its blue
piercing eyes.
Tulani, or faerie lords, are the greatest
of the eladrins. Their courts are scattered
throughout Olympus, never staying in the
same place more than one night. They
resemble tall, stately elves with faces that
shine so brightly that most find it difficult
to look at them. The tulani are peaceful in
nature and take up arms only when Arborea
itself is threatened the direst of emergencies
requires their attention.
Tactics: The eladrins are fierce
fighters, far stronger than they look. They
favor close duels, especially with fiends. Since
they are often shapeshifted, many times have
they been misidentified as weaker creatures
165
 and attacked outrightly. Most eladrin find this
somewhat amusing, issuing a final warning
before resorting to merciless counterattack.

Elemental Kin
Elemental kin are beings native to the
Inner Planes, perhaps even related to elementals.
Although, not as pure as true elementals, they
protect their home plane from exploitation or
intruders as vigilantly as any elemental would
do. If that wasn’t enough, many exhibit the
same stubbornness just as true elementals do.
Aerial servants, also known as haoou, are
a form of elemental-kin native to the plane of
Elemental Air, but are also occasionally found
on the Ethereal or Astral. They are wanderers
drawn to areas of extreme weather. It is thought
that they reproduce by being blown in two
by storm winds. Aerial servants rarely engage
in combat, using a shearing blast of intensely
focused wind to pummel their opponents
when they do so, and using their slam attack if
pressed.
Azer are a race of humanoid creatures
that normally inhabit the plane of elemental
Fire. In appearance, they are much like dwarves,
except that they have brass skin and flames for
hair.
Crysmals are crystalline creatures from
the plane of elemental Earth. They look like
truncated, prismed heaps of translucent crystals.
Earth weirds tend to be solitary and
territorial. When encountered they are
invariably hostile and tend to attack all living
things quite quickly. Once they have vanquished
a foe they feed of the remains. When first
encountered, the creatures appear to be nothing
more than a dry spot of dirt on the ground.
Once the earth weird decides to act, it assumes
the shape of a huge earthen serpent.
Fire snakes are larval salamanders
according to some sages. Their hide is blood-red
or orange and they are always found in fires.
Nereids, also known as “the honeyed
ones”, are the beautiful elemental-kin from the
Elemental Plane of Water. Playful and flighty,
and as unpredictable as their watery homes,
they tempt and trick sailors to their dooms.
They look like slim, young women with long
golden hair, pale white skin and possessing
beautiful voices.
Pech are creatures of Elemental Earth,
though some have extensive mines in the
deepest regions of the Prime Material plane.
They are content to dwell in dark places and
work stone, trading it to satisfy the meager
needs of their primitive communities. A pech is
a short, thin humanoid, with long arms and legs.
Chapter 6: Foes
Its skin is pale and yellowish and its eyes are
large and have no pupils.
Salamanders are evil elemental-kin
native to the Elemental Plane of Fire. They
resemble gigantic, copper-colored snakes with
human torsos. The entire body is covered
with wispy appendages that appear to burn
but are never consumed.
Sandlings are silicate life-forms native
to Elemental Plane of Earth. They claim
territories with boundaries recognizable only
by them, and attack all intruders. They live
on minerals, but instinctively despise organic
matter – they are known to relocate from
a place where they have encountered other
living beings. They resemble piles of oddly-
colored sand.
Sandmen appear as humans
constructed entirely of sand. They hate all
humans and attack them on sight because
they believe humans purposefully slay
sandmen to use their bodies in magical
experiments. A sandman prefers to attack at
night, where it can slip away from combat if
things are going against it.
Sylphs are related to air elementals and
to nymphs, perhaps originating as a cross-
breed between nymphs and aerial servants.
They are beautiful, humanoid women with
wings like dragonflies. Sylphs are friendly and
may befriend adventurers and give them aid
in exchange for a favor.
Tome guardians are elemental spirits of
fire summoned and compelled into guarding
a small object, usually a magical tome of lore.
They resemble tiny semi-solid fire elementals,
but they are rarely seen like this; when
summoned, they envelop, and appear to
merge with, the object they have been bound
to.
Water weirds are elemental-kin from
the plane of Water. They are hostile when
encountered on the Prime Material plane,
as they are usual magically kept from going
home. Water weirds appear to be common
water, but when they detect a living being,
they assume serpentine form.
Wind walkers are creatures of elemental
air, who often serve the djinn. Their approach
is signaled by whistling, howling or roaring
winds, depending on the number coming.
They appear as a mass of coiling, writhing
serpents, constantly churning out tendrils
of wind. Wind walkers are somewhat
xenophobic and may attack trespassers they
cannot avoid.
Tactics: Depending on the situation,
the elemental kin tries to defend itself at
167
 the best of his capability. It will try to take
advantage of its connection to one of the
elements and lure the victims into less favorable
positions or locations.

Elemental Vermin
These creatures are scavengers
and pests of the elemental planes. They
do not speak any languages and their
low intelligences make telepathic contact
unrewarding. They are primarily concerned
with feeding - dusters consume scents and
flowers, crawlers consume gems and metals,
flamelings consume any flammable matter,
and spitters consume any liquid.
Crawlers have vicious claws and a
crested dog-like head with feelers attached
to its snout. They are very temperamental,
attacking when disturbed or prevented from
eating metals and gems.
Dusters look like upright gray
armadillos with human hands, long ears and
a long proboscis. A duster prefers to flee
invisibly.
Flamelings look like fiery alligators
with bulging eyes and a crest of stiff tentacles
which serve as sensory organs. They are even
more temperamental than crawlers and like
to set things on fire.
Spitters look like frogs with long tails
whose bodies are covered in ridges. A spitter
avoids confrontation if possible, but it may
attack another creature to consume any
liquid, potions or holy water.
Tactics: These beings rarely attack
and generally flee if threatened. They attack
only when cornered.

Equars
The equar is a horse-like species native
to the Outer Planes. Nine different breeds
of equar have been recorded, and from time
to time they are summoned to the Prime
Material Plane to act as steeds and helpers to
powerful individuals. An equar’s appearance
and demeanor vary from type to type. Each is
strongly aligned to the same ethos as its native
plane. Denizens of the Planes often seek out
an equar to use as a steed. Not always is the
creature willing to accept the rider. Often, in the
case of the Lower Planes, a fiend captures and
subdues an equar.
Tactics: Equars can be fierce in battle,
attacking with their front hooves. Creatures of
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
opposing beliefs are always attacked first.
Banecoursers appear to be nothing more
than fine black steeds, but close inspection
reveals its vile nature. Then one might see
the odd streaks of rust and verdigris along
its coat. When the equar opens its mouth,
a serpentine tongue slips out for snake-like
flicker. This equar dwells on the awful moors
of Baator, but it is more than eager to appear
on the Prime Material Plane and work with
evil riders.
Charnalbalks, straight from the Abyss,
appear as emaciated coal black horses with
iron hooves and tangled manes. When a foal
matures, the evil powers of the Abyss forge
a terrifying iron mask and bolt it on the
creature’s head; smoldering eyes glow from
slits in the helm. The jaws of the beast stretch
wide and are lined with sharp teeth and a pair
of boar-like tusks.
Favonians, known to travel the open
fields of Arborea, are unafraid of the worst
weather conditions. These equars consider the
downpours of major storms as nothing more
troubling than a spring shower. They are pale
horses, bluish-white or dappled gray.
Gildmanes appear as stout chestnut
horses with shimmering manes, no tail, and
hooves of pure gold that shine in the sun.
Lithicthils ride through the open areas
of Mechanus. At first glance, the lithicthil
appears to be a living stone statue, but its
flesh simply has an odd, sculpted look to it
that resembles stone.
Menthrics, native to the Outlands,
appear as normal horses and can have a
variety of colors, from piebald to roan. But
when seen out of the corner of the eye, a
menthric has the form of a plain-faced human
dressed in non-descript clothing and shoulder-
length hair. A perceptive person might notice
that the menthric casts a human’s shadow
rather than a horse’s.
Potherrounces are creatures of chaos,
native to the wilds of Limbo. Though always a
horse in basic form, it has no true appearance;
every time one looks at a potherrounce,
one sees something different. Thus, the first
glance might show a zebra, while the next a
draft horse with a mane of flower petals, and
the next glance a dappled mare with three
tails. This effect can be quite disconcerting,
and superstitious folk intensely dislike and
distrust this equar and any who associate with
it.
Rosinantes have the appearance of
sickly, hairless horse with long rat’s tail.
Though bards praise the melodious name
170
of this equar, truly nothing about this creature
hailing from the Gray Waste is the least bit
lovely. The eyes are unnaturally large and
without pupils, looking like dead-white orbs.
The rosinante’s teeth are crooked and small.
Trothyspyres are noble steeds from
the verdant plains of Mount Celestia. They
resemble unicorns, with crystalline hooves and a
twisted horn rising from its brow. Evil creatures
tend to avert their eyes, if possible, from the
sight of the horn.

Exiraati
The exiraati are a vile race distantly
connected to astral dreadnoughts. Some even
refer to them as lesser astral dreadnoughts.
They roam the Astral Plane and Lower
Planes, lurking for servants of Illsensine, god
of the brain fiends. An exiraati resembles a
tall, yellow-gray humanoid with tough, ridged
exoskeleton that covers its head and upper
torso. Its vile yellow eyes are deeply set into
its horned skull.
Tactics: The exiraati prefer to identify
any spellcasters first and disable them with
Anti-magic Field I. They are extremely
vengeful and if left alive, almost always try
to get their revenge later. They are rarely
encountered with astral dreadnoughts which
serve them as mounts. However, these might
only be githyanki lies spread to keep travelers
from exploring the Astral Plane.

Facet
A facet is a humanoid drawn of angular
lines and composed of salt crystals. Facets do
not seem to communicate in any way, thus
some have considered them to be one single
organism with detachable parts working in
synch with a collective consciousness. About
a third of all facets inches at the border to
Plane of Water, waging a war against the
other plane in an attempt to eradicate all
moisture. Some seem to think that there is a
172
master facet controlling all others, but this is as
yet unproven.
Tactics: A single facet is dangerous
enough to most living, organic creatures.
Unfortunately, they are rarely encountered
alone. Singly or collectively, the danger lies in
the facet’s ability to drain moisture from any
source using their Dehydration ability. No two
facets are alike for they have a unique tactic of
joining together into a bigger, tougher creature.

Fireshadow
Fireshadows are creatures of death and
destruction that dwell in the Abyss. They
are sometimes summoned by evil clerics to
participate in dark schemes as assassins or
guardians. A fireshadow assumes whatever
shape specified by the cleric who summoned it,
although it is always formed of cold, green flame
- they have appeared as wraith-like dragons,
towering human warriors, and immense
skeletons, wreathed in pale green fire.
Tactics: A fireshadow relies on its
physical strikes and uses the burning green
flame that wreathes its body to transform its
opponents into creatures like itself. Fireshadows
can consume the victims of this horrifying
power to regain strength, although they prefer
intelligent prey.

Formians
Native to Arcadia, formians are
also called centaur ants. As their moniker
indicates, they appear to be upright walking
ants, but their sentience is that of warm-
blooded creatures as opposed to insects.
Formians are absolutely bound by the law of
their queen. Due to this, all but the highest
ranking myrmarchs are merely slave-like
pawns.
Myrmarchs are the size of a horse.
Their claws are capable of finer manipulation
than that of human hands.
Queens are half again as large
as myrmarchs. They are in charge of
administering the city and never leave the
central hive, and therefore their legs have
atrophied.
Warriors are the size of a pony, and its
claws are indicative of its capability to defend
and hit.
Workers, the smallest of the four
formian types, are also the most commonly
encountered. They’re about the size of a large
dog with claws used for work exclusively.
Tactics: Formians are very difficult
to battle, due to the complexity of their
hives, and the fact that they communicate
with a hive mind and are instantly able to
alert other formians of immediate danger.
Formians can use tools and weapons without
any problems.

Foulwing
Foulwings are grotesquely misshapen
flying predators that are wantonly destructive
and enjoy killing. These clumsy fliers are
often tamed for use as steeds. They have black
leathery wings, toad-shaped bodies and vaguely
horselike heads with three sharp jaws arranged
around its single-nostril snout. The creature got
its name from its foul-tasting meat.
Tactics: Foulwings prefer aerial combat
where they can pounce and utilize their great
size and strength to pin down their opponents
and bite them with all its deadly jaws.

Frost Salamander
Frost salamanders can be found
in many extremely cold places. Ice caves,
glaciers, frozen lakes, and other places where
the temperature seldom rises above freezing
are their favored hunting grounds. They are
ice-blue with serpentine with six legs, a long
tail, and a reptilian tail. They have jagged
claws that look like icicles.
Tactics: In battle, a frost salamander
takes the direct approach. No plans, no
coordination – just rip the prey apart and
be done with it. A frost salamander never
uses weapons and instead, it rears up on
its back two legs and uses front four to
rake opponents. The closes thing to tactics
employed by the beast is its tendency to lair
next to a near-frozen pool so it can push
victims into the icy water.

Galadur
The galadur are lesser celestial beings
often serving as companions to good hearted
mortals.
Baltiri hail from the planes of Arborea
and Ysgard. They absolutely love freedom
and happiness, and they fight for the rights
of others to enjoy these things. A baltir
resembles a small, broad, muscular human.
Fiery red, glittering, fur covers its entire
body. Its glistening lionlike mane and broad,
birdlike wings are similarly colored. A broad
smile crosses a flat face which sports tufted
pointy ears and almond-shaped emerald eyes.
Glissi hail from Bytopia, Elysium,
and Beastlands. They are absolutely and
unswervingly committed to the cause of good,
desiring only peace, life, and happiness for
174
all. A glissan resembles a small, slim, delicate
human with opalescent skin and large blue eyes.
Fine, silvery hair forms a halo about its head,
and a double pair of silver-white wings, shaped
like a swallow, sprout from its back.
Telperi hail from Arcadia and Mount
Celestia. Their attitude is much like that of a
paladin’s, never knowingly performing an evil
or unlawful act. A telperan resembles a small
handsome human with golden-brown skin,
golden hair, and glowing amber eyes. A pair of
pure white hawklike wings sprouts from its back.
Tactics: Galadur try to uphold their
reputation of good and honorable helpers by
imitating aasimons, archons, and other celestial
natives. They will never
abandon their friends and
will only do so if the defeat is
imminent and they are trying to
bring some help back.

Gehreleths
The manifold planes of abysmal Carceri
are the only home of the winged, tripartite race
of gehreleths. Where these hideous monsters
dwell, even nycaloths tread with circumspection,
for gehreleths are powerful, clever, and cruelly
ruthless in their selfish evil.
Farastu, also known as tarry gehreleths
are the commoners of Carceri. They are tall,
slender humanoids with long arms and heads.
They will attack any non-gehreleth they
encounter, often fighting to the death.
Kelubar, also known as „slime gehreleths“,
are the middle class of Carceri. They are slimy,
ebon humanoids with huge oval heads.
Shator, also known as „shaggy
gehreleths“, are the most intelligent and cunning
of the gehreleths. Shators are the nobility of
Carceri. They are squat and broad humanoids
who appear draped in shaggy skins. In combat
they choose their best option, often favoring
their spell-like abilities over physical attacks and
retreating from stronger opponents.
Tactics: Gehreleths despise any non-
gehreleth and are extremely easily provoked into
combat. They roam Carceri as random agents of
destruction.

Gen
Gen are small elemental genies who
willingly serve as companions and servants to
the wizards. The various gen are also called
wind gen or djinnlings, sand gen or daolani,
sea gen or maridans, and fire gen or efreetikin.
Gen resemble the province they represent.
Fire gen are miniature fire spirits with
ebony skin and long, flame-red hair. Their
fingers end in long, reddish claws that they
wiggle constantly. They are hyperkinetic -
getting a fire gen to sit still is impossible. Fire
gen are also pyromaniacs and must be tightly
controlled to prevent them from playing the
arsonist.
Sand gen have tan skin and jet black
hair, and their bodies are squat enough to
resemble globes with limbs. They tend to
move with a certain clunky weight. They care
nothing for gems and jewelry except insofar
as they are tasty.
Water gen are small water spirits with
greenish skin and bluish eyes and hair. Their
hair is often wet and matted with seaweed or
tangled with bits of flotsam. They are graceful
whether in or out of water. They enjoy
decorating themselves with pearls, shells, and
other treasures of the sea.
Wind gen are small air sprites with
bluish skin and white hair. They are
unnaturally thin and their skin seems almost
transparent in bright light. Their color and
mood are sometimes related to the weather; a
wind gen before a storm turns dark grey and
fidgety, a wind gen on a beautiful calm day is
quiet and pale blue.
176
 Tactics: Wind, fire, and water gen are
weak in combat but however, all gen have
various elemental abilities they use to their
advantage. The wind gen can fly and will avoid
melee whenever possible. Flame gen can produce
flame at will and generally do unless prohibited
by their wizard master. Water gen can breathe
underwater and swim well. Sand gen use their
strength to inflict greater damage than what
might be expected for their size.

Genasi
Genasi are handled with a rogue template
(see page 140). Species feats can be applied for
additional archetypes, such as wind duke.
Genies
Genies come from the Inner Planes.
Chapter 6: Foes
There, among their own kind, they are have
their own societies. Genies are sometimes
encountered on the Prime Material Plane and
are often summoned specifically to perform
some service for a powerful wizard or priest.
The summoners often leave them about for
later service, safely tucked away in a flask or
lamp.
Dao are genies from the elemental
plane of Earth. While they are generally
found on that plane (though even there they
are uncommon). The dao love to come to the
Prime Material plane to work evil.
Djinn (singular djinni) are genies from
the elemental plane of Air. They will aid
those they consider worthy.
Efreet (singular efreeti) are genies from
the elemental plane of Fire. They are enemies
of the djinn and attack them whenever they
are encountered. The efreet are said to be
made of basalt, bronze, and solid flames.
Jann (singular janni) are the weakest of
the elemental humanoids known collectively
as genies. Jann are formed out of all four
elements and must therefore spend most of
their time on the Prime Material Plane.
Marids are said to be born of the
ocean, having currents for muscles and pearls
for teeth. These genies from the elemental
plane of Water are the most powerful of all
genies. They are also the most individualistic
and chaotic of the elemental races, and only
rarely deign to serve others.
Tactics: Although powerful, genies are
above all noble and intelligent. They rarely
enter combat without a good reason. Unless
bound by powerful magic, a genie doesn’t
attack on sight and can generally be reasoned
with provided that both sides are satisfied in
the end.

Grim
The grim are guardians who watch for
and oppose evil. They are night creatures,
usually frequenting the fringes of human
habitations or burial grounds. They will be
usually encountered in any of the following
forms - black lynx, black dog or a black owl.
Grim typically ward off evil natured creatures
and warn those of good of imminent peril
from such monsters. The latter is done by
their weird call. They do not otherwise
communicate.
Tactics: Grim do not enter combat, unless
their enemy is evil – their Detect Alignment
ability keeps them informed. If attacked, by
a non-evil foe, they become incorporeal and

Grues
Grues are underling creatures of the
Inner Planes, more important in the ecology
than elemental vermin but less intelligent
than elementals and elemental kin. They
occupy a niche somewhat equivalent to
animals, in other respects more like servants
that have no exact equivalent on the Prime
178
Material Plane. Grues prey on elemental vermin,
serve as pets and guards for elementals, and can
be summoned to other planes by magic.
Chaggrins, or soil beasts, are grues from
the Elemental Plane of Earth. They appear as
humanoids with a body of lumpy, wet clay and
vicious face. It typically takes the form of a
yellowish hedgehog, although its skull-like head
readily distinguishes it from a normal animal
of that sort. It loves to torment its victim, and
it will usually attack by digging its long, razor-
sharp foreclaws into its prey and then hold
on while the hapless victim dashes hither and
thither trying to escape from or dislodge the
grue.
Harginns, or flame horrors, are grues
from the Elemental Plane of Fire. They resemble
vile humans with flames where its lower torso
and legs would be where it a man. A harginn
generally assumes the shape of a normal bonfire,
a column of fire, or a bronze human statue.
Ildriss, or wind terrors, are grues from the
Elemental Plane of Air. They resemble a fog-
like cloud with vaporous tentacles and 3 faintly
gleaming red eyes arranged in a pyramidal
pattern.
Varrdig, or fluid brutes, are grues from the
Elemental Plane of Water. They are a globular,
jelly-like blob but generally appear as a pool of
water.
Tactics: Grues do not attack more than
one victim at a time, because they know they
have low chances of defeating a whole party on
their own. Although not cowardly, they will flee
if badly hurt only to return later and gang-up on
their targets.

Guardinals
The guardinals are the people of
Elysium. Most resemble beautiful, muscular
humans with noticeable animal traits. The
degree of animalistic features varies between
individuals, but guardinals frequenting the
Beastlands appear most beastlike of all.
While guardinals’re peaceful enough in their
home, they show a different face away from
Elysium. They’ve got no tolerance for evil of
any type and often journey into the Great
Ring or the Outlands to seek out evil and
confront it.
Avorals are guardinals with the wings
of mighty eagles. They’re the scouts and
skirmishers of their race, keeping watch over
the peaceful skies of Amoria. Some leave
Elysium and never return because they’ve
just got to see what lies over the next hill or
beyond the next sea. They have the bodies of
tall muscular men or women, but their arms
are long, powerful wings and their legs feature
strong talons and feathery vanes to act as a
tail in flight.
Cervidals are the most peaceful of
the guardinals and the last to join a fight,
seeking physical violence only when no
other solutions present themselves. However,
once they’re committed, cervidals won’t
179
 be the first to walk away. They bear a passing
resemblance to a faun or satyr, but are more
regal in appearance. A cervidal‘s head is crowned
with magnificent horns or antlers.
Equinals resemble huge humans
with some of the qualities of a draft horse.
Their chests and shoulders’re of truly heroic
proportions, and its face is long and narrow with
a long, wild mane.
Leonals are the wisest and most powerful
of the guardinals. They’re chieftains and leaders
wherever guardinals gather. They resemble tall,
muscular humans with short tawny fur and a
great mane of hair (at least, the males).
Lupinals are the front-line troops
of Elysium and their Packs are searching
aggressively for any hint of evil intrusion. They
resemble humanoid wolves with silvery-gray fur.
They are natural-born hunters and stalkers who
use terrain, concealment, and ambush to great
effect.
Usrinals are the scholars and philosophers
of the guardinals. They are benevolent beings
who resemble huge men and women with
distinctive bearlike attributes. They’re advisers
to the leonals, and the record-keepers and
magic-users of their race. It’s very difficult to
move an ursinal to anger, but the powers pity
the poor sod who manages the trick - it’s said
that a fighting-mad ursinal can tear his way
through any three gehreleths.
Tactics: Guardinals are extremely
peaceful beings, resorting to violence only
when all other options have been exhausted. In
combat, they are more than capable of proving
just how much their ties to the wild and ruthless
nature are strong.

Hollyphant
Hollyphants are servants of the powers
of good, found throughout the Upper Planes.
They’re the messengers and helpers of the
various good pantheons, acting as couriers or
advisers to mortals the powers’ve got an interest
in, or work as assistants to more powerful
proxies. It looks like a tiny golden furred
elephant with a pair of shining white wings
Chapter 6: Foes
sprouting from its back.
Tactics: Because of their size and
by some accounts, silly look hollyphants
are undermined as combatants. However,
they are capable of defeating even the most
powerful fiends under one condition – they
have to stay out of close combat.

Horde
Hordes are frightening life forms
native to the Elemental Plane of Earth. Each
single horde entity comprises hundreds
of separate, insect-like bodies united by a
single mind. The bodies of a particular horde
consciousness all look alike, and different
hordes often feature their own distinct body
181
 types.
Tactics: The horde attacks other
creatures whenever it finds such an action in
its own best interest. Hordes do not consider
any other life forms intelligent and have no
compunctions against destroying others.

Hordling
Hordlings are the uncounted hordes of
the Gray Waste and no two hordlings look alike.
There are possibly as many different types of
hordlings as there are hordlings. They are bent
on destruction and devouring.
Tactics: Hordlings are petty and vile.
They roam the Gray Waste attacking those
weaker than themselves. They sometimes serve
under stronger leaders, but few leaders maintain
hordlings for long, for they are unruly and
untrustworthy.

Invisible Stalker
The invisible stalker, also known as
sshai, is a creature from the Elemental Plane
of Air. Those encountered elsewhere have
almost always been summoned to fulfill a
specific task. The true form of the invisible
stalker is unknown. On the Prime Material,
Astral, or Ethereal planes, the invisible stalker
can only be perceived as a shimmering air
mass which looks much like the refraction
effect caused by hot air passing in front of
cold.
Tactics: Invisible stalkers attack by
using the air itself as a weapon. It is capable
of creating a sudden, intense vortex that

Jumper
Jumpers are intelligent life forms that
feed on time stolen from others. They appear
very similar to marine brittle-starfish, with small
bodies and long slender arms. The body has the
shape of a dodecahedron, and an arm extends
from the center of each of the 12 sides. These
odd creatures were created by some forgotten
god of Time. They thrived and spread quickly,
and are now common sights on the Outer and
Astral planes.
Tactics: Although very capable
combatants, jumpers avoid physical
confrontation because of their frail build. They
would rather just steal time from others and
quickly disappear.

Koodjanuk
The koodjanuk is a creature native to
Elysium. It is generally encountered in subarctic
or arctic conditions and makes its lair on
mountain peaks. They appear to be large birds
of prey, with white-feathered bodies, black
heads, and great hooked beaks. Koodjanuks
are on excellent terms with the other beings of
the Upper Planes, and they may be found with
these beings.
Tactics: Koodjanuks ignore most
creatures, neither harming nor helping them.
Chapter 6: Foes
Evil beings, however, will usually be attacked.
They are deadly both up in the air and
down on the ground because of their great
movement speed.

Kyton
Kytons are a race of creatures
inhabiting the city of Jangling Hiter on the
third layer of Baator. They are the city’s
constabulary, ferreting out transgressors.
Kytons wear chains in lieu of clothing, and
armor, using this “apparel” as weapons.
Tactics: They have a nasty habit of
assuming the feature of a departed loved one
or friend - or sometimes that of much-feared
enemy.

Larva
Larvae, evil dead from other planes
who led especially selfish lives, are now
doomed to spend their wretched existences
serving evil on the Lower Planes. Larvae are
horrifying worms, sickly yellow and covered
with viscous, foul-smelling fluid. Instead of
a worm’s head, they have distorted faces
resembling the mortals they were in life.
Tactics: Larvae have no will of their
own and simply lie in giant, quivering masses
on the grounds of the Gray Waste. However,
when commanded by a greater power - that
183
 is, just about anything in the Waste – larva will
attack en masse.

Lillend
Lillendi are natives of Ysgard. They are
peaceful and delight in song and conversation.
Lillendi are particularly hostile toward those
who seek to impose civilized order on the
wilderness. They have the upper body of a
human with powerful, feathered wings and stout
serpentine body from waist downwards.
Tactics: Lillendi are generally peaceful
unless they intend vengeance against someone
they believe guilty of harming, or even
threatening, a favored art form, artwork, or
artist. Then they become implacable foes. They
use their natural spell to confuse and weaken
opponents before entering combat. A covey of
lillendi usually discusses strategy before a battle.

Livestock and Game
Animals
These animals dot the planar landscape
as wild game and domesticated livestock.
Forchoreai are creatures found on the
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
Beastlands, residing there naturally along with
other wildlife. They appear to be large, white
or gray stags, with pearly antlers.
Malaetar are temperamental, fast
beasts native to the Outlands. They resemble
muscled, quadruped bears with great horns
and powerful claws.
Stench kine (singular stench kow) are the
cattle of Baator. They roam the reeking plains,
fiery fields, and even the wintry wastes of
the lower hells. Some are found as far as the
planes of Acheron, Gehenna, and even Gray
Waste. Much as do common herd animals,
these odorous beasts form great herds, grazing
on the noxious and poisonous growths of
the vile terrain. Stench kine resemble huge,
misshapen dull orange-green bison with
large humps over the shoulders and long and
downward curving horns.
Thunder beasts are bloated, pig-like
creatures that roam in herds across the layers
of the Abyss. They are known as thunder
beasts because of their rumbling bellow. A
thunder beast resembles a six legged pig with
a swollen body.
Tactics: Most livestock flees unless
cornered, at which point they charge, trying
in a blind panic to break free.

Lomendur
Lomendur are lesser beings of neutrality
that often serve as companions to mortals.
Orrekin hail from the Outlands. They
are wholly devoted to balance, and are tolerant
of others as long as none gain the upper
hand. Orrekin believe chaos is foolish, law is
pretentious, and good or evil is just a waste
of time. An orrek resembles a squat, muscular
humanoid with rounded shoulders and clawed
hands. Short, soft gray fur covers its body. Its
glittering black eyes, short necks, broad teeth,
and rather narrow head are reminiscent of a
rodent.
Quarks hail from Limbo. They despise
restraint and order, acknowledge no rules or
conventions, and they keep promises only if it
pleases them to do so. A quark resembles a tiny,
silver-skinned humanoid with unearthly beauty
and tangled, fuzzy hair. Its glittering wings
resemble those of a butterfly, although their
coloration and pattern changes periodically.
Tabi hail from Mechanus. They are
wholly devoted to order and discipline
untainted by cruelty or kindness; good and evil
are irrelevant to them. They never let other
considerations get in the way of true harmony
and order. A tabur resembles a small, white
marble humanoid statue with silver eyes. It has
Chapter 6: Foes
perfect, symmetrical proportions, and pure
white hair that matches its skin.
Tactics: Lomendur avoid conflict
unless they meet opponents of opposed
beliefs. At that point, they resemble almost
senseless, cruelest mercenaries as they
furiously throw themselves at their target.

Malfera
A malfera is a creature from the
Demiplane of Nightmares. It is a large night-
black humanoid with an elephantlike head, huge
fangs, red veins and eyes. The chest is a mass
of slimy, acidic tentacles and its long, muscular
arms end in large, jagged pincers. Its feet are
webbed and clawed.
Tactics: In combat, a malfera attacks
with pincers and its bite, trying to grab the
opponent and squeeze it until there’s nothing
left of it. It is prone on ambushing its foes from
dark places, sometimes even entering their
homes with the use of Knock.

MARRASHI
The marrashi (plural marrash) or winged
archer, is an evil spirit of pestilence. It has the
dark wings of a vulture, the arms and body of a
human, bird legs and the head of a jackal.
Tactics: On the ground a marrashi is a
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
weak combatant, attacking with claws and
its beak. They prefer to use their bows while
airborne, by holding the bow with their talons
and pulling back the string with their hands.
This gives them an odd, tumbling style of
flight when shooting.

Marut
Maruts go forth from Mechanus and
spread the powers’ will across the Outer
Planes. They look like red-eyed, unliving
giants carved from a single piece of polished
stone with no discernible joints or seams.
Maruts wear golden armor with wide plates
on the shoulders and armbands.
Tactics: Maruts are awesome
opponents. Their punch alone can bring down
all but the most powerful opponents. When
faced with a greater threat, they will not
hesitate to use Earthquake and Lightning Bolt
II to reduce the number of foes they will face
in melee. If badly hurt, they will withdraw in
order to regenerate lost health and return as
soon as they are ready.

Menglis
An elemental spirit unlike any other,
the menglis is born of opposition. They
have the ability to separate an object into its
component elements. It is a tall humanoid,
186
colorless and somewhat amorphous.
Tactics: In or out of combat, menglis
constantly use their Disintegration ability to
separate their environment into basic elements.
They are solitary creatures that ignore others
to the point that sometimes they aren’t even
aware living beings they have disintegrated. If
severely injured, they will become incorporeal
and abandon the area as fast as possible.

Mephits
Mephits are nasty messengers created
by powerful planar creatures to perform evil
missions. The sixteen known types of mephit
draw their substance from the Elemental,
Paraelemental, and Quasielemental Planes. All
mephits appear as small, winged creatures with
more or less humanoid features. While they
are often described as impish, their elemental
origins are apparent at first glance.
Air mephits are fickle, untrustworthy,
and empty-headed. However, they are excellent
messengers and couriers – for their first mission.
Thereafter they flee their creators to explore
the planes, attach themselves to whomever
looks interesting and make entertaining trouble.
Air mephits look like pure white muscular
humanoids from the waist up and white
tornadoes from the waist down. Unlike most
other mephits, they have no wings but fly on
their airstreams; they display astonishing agility.
They are bald with broad grins and small ears,
and they often wear one gold earring.
Ash mephits are acutely depressed and
lugubrious. They have powdery skin and
wings and a nasal whining voice to impose
on passersby endless tales of their sorrows,
boredom and frustrations.
Dust mephits find death morbidly
fascinating. They pose as tragic yet fashionable
victims of a gloomy fate, heroically holding out
against utter insanity. Gaunt even by mephit
standards, dust mephits have dusky brown skin,
eyes, and wings. Unlike other mephits, they
prefer to wear black clothing, altered so as not
Chapter 6: Foes
to interfere with flight.
Earth mephits are heavy, rocky mephits
that have stolid, humorless personalities.
Stubborn and immune to insult, they look
like small, thin earth elementals, with stony
skin, glittering eyes, and rigid wings of dull
metal. Their wings, which never flap, seem
to play no role in the mephit’s magical but
clumsy flight.
Fire mephits are the most mischievous
of all mephits. These fiends play terrible
pranks on other mephits, such as pushing
magma mephits into water and watching
them harden. Fire mephits are small, wiry
humanoids with bright red skin and bat-
wings. Some fire mephits affect a mustache,
goatee, and tiny horns on their forehead, but
these are always faked.
Ice mephits are angular, with
translucent, ice-blue skin. They live on the
colder Lower Planes and thus never mix with
fire, magma, smoke, or steam mephits. Ice
mephits act aloof and cruel, surpassing other
mephits in torture and wanton destruction.
Lightning mephits have torsos and limbs
composed of thin black lightning bolts and
they are wingless. Their heads smell like
ozone and glows with a permanent light.
They are energetic, hyperactive and curious.
They talk very fast, with many mistakes and
false starts.
Magma mephits, or lava mephits, are
the least intelligent of all mephits and hence
the brunt of fire mephit jokes. They are
sensitive to these insults and anger easily
when offended, but otherwise they are
passive and less temperamental than other
mephits.
Mineral mephits look like earth mephits
with mica and metallic wings. They have
no odor and are suspicious, greedy and self-
righteous.
Mist mephits fancy themselves as
master spies, often reporting on other
mephits for treacherous behaviors.
Ooze mephits are unctuous creatures
that sidle up to strangers and, in purring,
sibilant voices, use flattery to ingratiate
themselves. They are made of ochre muck
and have a rough humanoid form but no
clear joints. Their wings are transparent
green bubble membranes that seldom break.
They have dark green eyes and mouth
with a mooning expression, and they smell
absolutely terrible. Contact with an ooze
mephit stains clothing permanently.
Radiance mephits are dazed, distracted
individuals with reflective silvery bodies and
187
 prismatic wings. They have wide mouths and
expressionless faces, except during their fits of
crazed giggling.
Salt mephits look like grainy white
humanoids with wings made of cubical white
crystals. They have large red eyes and gaping,
grinning mouths. They have no odor unless they
get wet, which causes them excruciating pain
and makes them smell briny. The sarcastic and
acidulous wit of salt mephits lowers their life
expectancy dramatically.
Smoke mephits are crude, irresponsible and
lazy, mostly sitting around invisible, smoking
pipeweed and telling bad jokes.
Steam mephits are bossy and
hypersensitive. They are the self-appointed
overlords of all mephits and, in their own
minds, lords of the Quasielemental Plane of
Steam. Mist mephits refuse to obey them, and
this disobedience has led to a millennia-long
rivalry between the types. In addition to the
hissing steam that escapes from their pores,
steam mephits leave a trail of near-boiling water
where they walk.
Water mephits are thin, finny humanoids
covered with sea-green scales, and webs of
skin connect the spines of their ears, toes, and
wings. They have fishy, staring eyes and fish
lips. An odor of brine accompanies them, and
they drip salt water. Manifesting an irritating
joviality, water mephits make remarkably
tactless comments on their companions’ actions
and situations. They attach themselves to
adventuring parties (unasked) out of an appetite
for novelty.
Tactics: In battle, mephits attack with
either their clawed hands or breath weapon. If
hurt, they quickly flee.

Modrons
It is only logical, as it is with all things
modron, that they are native to the orderly
plane of Mechanus. The two, plane and
modrons, probably would not exist without
each other - modron society defines the plane,
just as the plane shapes them. Modrons are
strictly divided into fourteen castes over
which rules Primus, the One and the Prime.
It and the plane are one in thought and deed;
as Primus turns in his realm of Regulus, so
do the wheels of Mechanus. It and it alone
understands the whole structure of the
modron race, since it sits at its pinnacle.
From there it decrees what is order, writes
the laws, and establishes the rules and
regulations. Primus is a huge being who rises
from an energy pool in the central part of
its great tower at the center of the plane.
Within Mechanus, Primus has the status of a
greater power, except it is possible for Primus
to die, albeit only under near-impossible
conditions. Like all gaps, the vacancy is filled
by promotion of one of the secundi. However,
the process usually creates turmoil since,
without a Primus, chaos is allowed to enter
into the perfection of modron society.
Decatons are the lowest order of
officials found in modron society. These
creatures appear as 10-tentacled spheres on
stumpy legs. They are the overseers of the
physical welfare of the base modrons, the
voice of the great power to the working class.
Duodrones are blocky, rectangular
creatures with spiderlike legs and arms, plus
a small set of fanlike wings. It has one central
eye and a large mouth. They accept orders
from tridrones and can give instructions to
monodrones, whom they often supervise.
Duodrones serve in the modron army as
corporals or sergeants, or even as special
shock troops armed with thrusting and
crushing weapons. They often lead squads
of monodrones (twelve monodrones per
duodrone).
Hextons fulfill several roles in modron
life. First, they are the generals of the 36
modron armies. Second, nine also serve at the
tower of Primus, although they are not aware
of his existence. They appear as humanoids
with six arms - two large human arms with six
fingers and four tentacles tipped with sharp
claws below. They have thin, fanlike folded
wings, joined at the shoulders.
Messenger monodrones lack the spiderlike
arms of their more numerous brethren and
instead have fanlike wings joined to their
bodies. Though they cannot wield weapons,
190
these winged monodrones are faster than their
counterparts, so they often serve as messengers.
Monodrones look like small spheres with a
single eye. They have spiderlike arms and legs.
They are barely intelligent modrons that make
up most of the population of Regulus. They
accept orders only from duodrones and exist
only for their work. Monodrones are usually
assigned to either simple labor or service in the
regiments of the modron army.
Nonatons are cylindrical modrons
that act as commissars and chief inspectors
of the modron universe. They usually head
investigations of rogue modron units and handle
small-party invasions from other planes.
Octons govern the wheels and can
command any armies stationed there. The lesser
modrons of each cogwheel are considered wards
of the octons, who guard their sectors quite
rigidly and see that regulations are obeyed,
routine is observed, and reports are invariably
correct.
the modron army, a dozen pentadrones are
assigned to each regimental headquarters as
an elite unit, while others actually command
the regiment.
Quadrones appear as cubes with
spiderlike legs and four arms. Equipped with
sensory organs on all six sides of its cubic
body, a quadrone can utilize its senses to
detect sights, sounds, and smells far away.
They accept orders from pentadrones and can
give instructions to tridrones and they serve
as field officers in the modron army.
Quartons administer the regions of
the modron realm and oversee the operation
of the bureau, sector governors, and army
units attached to their regions. They are
tall humanoids with four jointed arms and
fanlike wings.
Quintons are the major bureau chiefs
and record keepers of Mechanus. They look
like tall, stocky humanoids with four flexible

Pentadrones are five-armed creatures

that resemble starfishes mounted on five thin,
stiltlike legs. Pentadrones receive orders from
the lowest of hierarch modrons, the decatons,
and see that these instructions are implemented
by the quadrones, policing them as necessary. In

Chapter 6: Foes 191

 arms and prehensile tails. They have fanlike
wings similar to those of the hextons. As a
symbol of rank, the quintons have a diamond
inscribed in their foreheads.
Rogues are handled with a rogue template
(see page 140).
Secundi (singular secundus), viceroys of
the quarters, are the virtual rulers of Mechanus,
reporting only to Primus. They appear as
incredibly thin and tall humanoids with long,
narrow faces and deep-set eyes. They always
live in harmony with one another, except during
those extremely rare times when a new Primus
must be chosen.
Septons are officials who maintain order
and see that all regulations have been obeyed.
They travel from place to place as inspectors
and examiners of work and records, and they
are charged with transferal of information from
outlying areas to the towers of the regions,
quarters, and the capitol tower itself. Septons
appear as humanoids with large bald heads.
They have shoulder collars similar to those of
octons.
Tertians supervise the quartons and hear
all crimes brought against the rigid orthodoxy
of the realm. Trial, judgment, and sentencing
of all creatures in the modron realm are their
province. Most judgments deal with rogue
modrons. They look fairly human, except
for their great height, the horns jutting from
the sides of their bald heads, and their long
prehensile tails that end in a macelike ball.
Tridrones appear as three-sided pyramids
with three spiderlike legs. Each of its three
“faces” has a single eye, a mouth, and one arm,
all set vertically along the center. They accept
orders from quadrones and can give instructions
to duodrones. In the modron army, tridrones
serve as officers in special companies. Three
tridrones typically supervise each company,
relaying orders to the twelve duodrones, who in
turn pass them along to the monodrones.
Winged quardones have wings that replace
one pair of arms. These creatures are often
charged with special missions or deployed for
aerial combat.
Tactics: Despite the regimented order
of their armies, modrons do not fare as well
in war as other planar beings. When it comes
to combat and the sheer cruelty that often
accompanies warfare, modrons usually come
out the losers. The reason for this could be
that conflicts are chaotic events and modrons
simply cannot adjust to the newfound situations
quickly enough.

Night Hag
The race of night hags rules the
convoluted planes of Gray Waste, and they
are seldom encountered elsewhere. Night
hags hate goodness, and they will attack any
beneficent creatures as long as the possibilities
of success appear favorable. A night hag is a
hideous dark blue-violet color, with black hair
and glowing red eyes. Her taloned hands and
feet have nails of jet black.
194
 Tactics: Night hags rely on their spells
and magic items to gain an upper hand in
combat. They use Sleep and Bestow Curse to
weaken their opponents before moving into
melee. If the opponent is asleep, they will
induce horrible nightmares with Nightmare Ride
ability. Sometimes, the hags will be encountered
in covens.

Nightshades
Nightshades are powerful beings from the
Negative Energy Plane who seek to spread death
and destruction everywhere. All nightshades
are jet black. The air around them is cold and
smells like an open grave in winter. As solitary
creatures, nightshades do not associate in packs
or even with mates. Some sages suggest that
when numerous undead beings are destroyed,
the energies released on the Negative Energy
Plane coalesce to form a nightshade. These
creatures have no visible eyes and they never
speak to their victims.
Nightcrawlers are similar to huge worms in
appearance.
Nightwalkers are tall, jet black, giant
humanoids.
Nightwings are giant, jet black bats.
Tactics: Nightshades are terrifying
opponents. They are generally active during the
night.

Ni’iath
A ni’iath is a long, worm-like creature
native to Bytopia with a vicious mouth and
four narrow eyes spaced at the four corners
of its head. Its body is framed by two clawed
arms and a long whip-like, barbed tail. It has no
concept of “up” or “down” and orients itself in
either direction without flipping itself around.
Tactics: Ni’iaths prefer the crossover
areas where gravity shifts between the two
layers of Bytopia. They operate with a wolf-pack
mentality, hounding their prey to tire it out.
They are sometimes hunted by humans and
gnomes.

Ondine
Ondines are cruel beings native to the
Elemental Plane of Water who take great delight
in drowning planar travelers. Riverbeds and
ocean bottoms near an ondine’s domain are
usually littered with corpses of past victims.
They resemble tiny mermaids, with humanoid
upper bodies ending in a scaled, lateral tail.
Tactics: Ondines prefer to influence
larger sea creatures to destroy ships or otherwise
knock prey overboard. Because the ondine
feeds on the dying breaths of the drowning,
they rarely order their allies to kill enemies.
Once prey falls into the water, the invisible
ondine attempts to get close enough to utilize
its paralyzing touch, and then steals the
breath from the helpless victim. If unable to
flee through mundane means, an ondine may
teleport away.

Order Elementals
The order elementals, also known as
the elementals of law, are intelligent creatures
native to the Inner planes. Each dedicates
itself to maintaining the forces of law on both
its home plane and the Prime Material Plane,
yet they differ wildly in their methods of
achieving this goal.
Anemos are cottony-looking creatures
consisting of a complex and ordered network
of off-white fibers. Each anemo works closely
with others of its kind, forever attempting to
catalogue and order all of existence.
Helions normally look like rings of
pulsating flame. They form tight family
groups known as rings. Rings of helions
move methodically about the Elemental
Plane of Fire, meeting to discuss and debate
philosophical matters of all kinds. Helions
loathe combat and, even in the midst of
battle, constantly search for a more peaceful
resolution to conflict.
Hydraxes appear as crab-like creatures
of deep blue ice and water, with six legs and
two claws. They are solitary creatures who,
though orderly in behavior, tend to align with
the forces of evil. They spend much of their
time creating complex cities and devices of
great beauty with tools made of ice.
Krysts appear as a group of twelve
golden, crystalline spikes projecting outward
from a central point with bodies made of
quartz-like rock. Krysts have a widespread
and complex society in their own realms,
peacefully living with and helping earth
elementals. They welcome visitors, and
eagerly seek new knowledge of all types.
Tactics: Unlike elementals, these
beings do not undermine the importance of
tactics and generally attack their foes only
if they are certain of their victory. Although
physically not on par with other elementals,
order elementals make up for that with their
potent natural spells which are capable of
incapacitating multiple targets at once.

Ormyrr
Ormyrr is a giant upright worm with
two pairs of arms and a fang-mouthed, froglike
head. They live and hunt in tribal bands that
keep to themselves and do not make war on
other tribes. They are obsessed with magic and
flying, although they have no natural tendencies
to either. Their mortal enemies are yuan-ti and
harpies.
Tactics: Ormyrr fight with their long-
Chapter 6: Foes
taloned hands or use them to hurl large
stones at their targets. They will also try to
grab and roll over any melee foes in order to
constrict them. Due to their fascination with
magic they might no outright kill any hostile
spellcasters but imprison them for later study.

Paraelementals
A paraelemental is a powerful entity
embodying the nature of one of the four
Paraelemental Planes. Unlike their cousins,
elementals, paraelementals sustain themselves
by various odd actions reflecting their
combined elements, and often have specific
shapes instead of simply appearing as a mass
of their element.
Ice paraelementals absorb heat and
appear as towering humanoids made
of ice. They are sometimes called “cold
paraelementals” or “frost paraelementals.”
Ooze paraelementals “feed” by crushing
and absorbing solid matter, and appear as a
mass of slimy tentacles. They are sometimes
called “mud elementals.”
Smoke paraelementals breathe in air and
breathe out smoke to “feed,” and appear as a
cloud of smoke.
Magma paraelementals appear as
monstrous humanoids made of magma with
molten, shapeless lower bodies, and sustain
themselves by melting things.
Tactics: Paraelementals, although
generally regarded as slightly less powerful
than elementals, are still formidable
opponents. They will enter close combat
attacking relentlessly strongest foe while
affecting all the others with their auras.

Per
Pers are guardians of the Upper Planes’
portals. They look like well muscled humans in
plate armors of elaborate design and plumed
helms. Their countenances are grim and
foreboding.
Tactics: Pers are fanatical warriors
and never leave their post. If challenged, pers
battle to the death. Although powerful, pers
know their limitations. They can size up an
opponent and know its fighting prowess. Pers
are intelligent, and one who outmatched by
a group of adventurers may challenge the
opposing leader or most powerful warrior to

Phoenix
The phoenix is a great, extra-planar
bird thought to represent the spirit of freedom
and rebirth. It appears as a large bird with
bright violet, scarlet, crimson and flaming
orange feathers.
Tactics: The phoenix is a free and
benevolent spirit and does not derive pleasure
from attacking others. But if the need for
combat arises, a phoenix is a swift and
powerful foe. The phoenix is an intelligent
and magical beast; however, it usually opts
for more effective measures of attack and
defense.

Psurlon
These worm-like humanoids hail from
the Astral Plane where they are fighting the
githyanki. They try to keep their presence in
the Silver Void as quiet as possible. Psurlons
look like giant multi-segmented worms that
198
are humanoid-like with a large circular mouth
lined with many rows of sharp teeth. Their arms
and legs have sharp outer teeth that take the
place of fingers.
Tactics: Psurlons excel at both mental
and physically combat, brought on by years of
cerebral enhancement and manipulation. They
prefer the use of their sharp teeth-like claws
and their lamprey like bite in physical combat.
For mental combat they prefer the use of their
inherent powers.

Quasielementals
Quasielementals are creatures formed
from the disruptive influence of negative or
positive energy on elemental matter. They are
native to the border areas between an Energy
plane and an Elemental plane, the so-called
“quasielemental planes” of Ash, Dust, Salt,
Vacuum (on the negative side) and Lightning,
Mineral, Radiance, Steam (on the positive
side). Quasielementals are rare beings, and
often looked down upon by denizens of the
Inner Planes as lesser, corrupted versions of true
elementals.
Ash quasielementals are shapeshifting
entities made of heat-draining ash. They are
continually on the lookout for warmth to
devour, since external sources of energy are the
only thing that keeps them going.
Dust quasielementals appear as clouds
of dust with vaguely eye-shaped areas in their
mass, and can disintegrate anything they
surround. Vengeful and destructive, but not
inherently malicious, dust quasielementals
gather in leaderless groups and roam about
wrecking chaos.
Lightning quasielementals manifest as small
spheres of electricity. Very little is known about
these creatures, as their behavior seems to follow
no constant pattern, and is thus impossible to
study extensively.
Mineral quasielementals resemble vaguely
humanoid masses of gems, rock and crystal.
The warlike mineral quasielementals gather into
bands and patrol the glittering planes of their
Chapter 6: Foes
home against the treasure-seekers.
Radiance quasielementals appear as
bright spheres of light, and can fire beams
of blinding illumination with various colors
and effects. Static and contemplative, these
beings are well-known as philosophers and
seers.
Salt quasielementals usually manifest
as salt-encrusted lizard-like creatures. They
sustain themselves by leeching moisture from
other living things, but too much water can
be deadly for a salt quasi.
Steam quasielementals, also called mist
elementals, take the form of roiling masses
of steam or mist, and can change their
temperature from cool to scalding at will.
Vacuum quasielementals are hollow,
shapeless beings embodying the concept
of the void. Xenophobic and introvert, the
vacuum quasielementals keep to their own
and attack all intruders.
Tactics: As forces of nature,
quasielementals employ their unique abilities
to incapacitate unprepared foes. The mere
presence of many quasielementals is enough
to cause serious damage to those nearby.
They won’t attack unless provoked first.

Reave
Reaves are violent 4-armed, 4-eyed
humanoids that wander the planes as
marauders, brigands or mercenaries. A reave
generally hides his face beneath his helm and
has a powerful aversion to reveal it, always
making a life-quest to kill anyone who has seen
his facial features.
Tactics: Typically, a reave wields two
weapons. If the weapons require only one hand
each to use, the reave carries a pair of shields in
his off-hands, improving his defenses. A reave’s
arrangement of arms doesn’t accommodate
archery, so most prefer melee weapons. Reaves
can fade, which they use to stack the odds in
their favor during a fight. Basically, the reave
becomes incorporeal in order to surprise or
escape this enemies.

Retriever
Retrievers are living constructs, creatures
of nightmare manufactured by the tanar’ri
lords to act their emissaries and enforcers.
They are known by that name because they’re
commonly ordered to find enemies or misguided
subordinates of the Abyssal Lord and bring
them back to face the music. A retriever
resembles a huge spider the size of an elephant,
with a black, chitinous exoskeleton and six
insectile eyes.
Tactics: Retrievers usually attack by
using their Petrifying Ray on weaker opponents.
Against tougher foes, they will utilize their
Freezing Ray and then move into melee relying
on fearsome and grappler abilities.

Rilmani
The rarest and most silent of all the
planar races are the rilmani, the high-ups of
the Outlands. They’re the creatures of true
neutrality, preserving its cause across the
multiverse. The rilmani don’t care about law
or chaos, they stand in the middle of good
and evil - It’s all about the Balance, they’ll
say. Whenever one side or the other gets too
strong, they start aiding the disadvantaged
sods until things even out. Sometimes their
aid is direct, but more often than not rilmani
even things out by pointing cutters in the
right direction and letting them solve their
own problems.
Abiorachs are the rilmani agents in the
Inner Planes. They’re among the weakest
of the rilmani and look for ways to solve
problems through manipulation and trickery
rather than open battle. They bear a passing
resemblance to adolescent human with silver
shiny skin that flows and shifts with every
movement. Their eyes are crystalline and
tend to catch a rainbow of colors.
Argenachs are advisers and agitators
especially interested in the affairs of the
countless prime worlds, working to ensure
that no one gains the upper hand for long
in any part of the multiverse. They are tall,
slender creatures with a silvery sheen to their
skins. Argenachs avoid physical combat when
possible.
Aurumachs are the leaders of the
rilmani race, the high-ups who call the shots
and pull the strings. They are tall athletic
humanoids with beatific features and metallic
golden skin. Their eyes are too bright to look
at directly and an aura of power and patience
surrounds their form.
Cuprilachs are the spies, assassins and
secret solders of the rilmani. They believe
that the only way the balance will ever be
safe is by neutralizing high-up creatures of
extreme alignment. They’re easily the most
dangerous rilmani, simply because they’re
the ones who’re most likely to decide on the
201
 spot that a basher needs to be lost. They appear
as slight and wiry humans with skin of coppery
sheen and featureless ruby red eyes.
Ferrumachs are the soldiers of the spire,
the iron legions who wait to serve in battle
whenever and wherever they’re needed. They
resemble tall grim-faced humans with sooty gray
skin, wide shoulders, and thick arms.
Plumachs are the common citizens of the
Spire. Their brand of neutrality is the simplest
and most apathetic view held by the rilmani:
Don’t get involved. They are short, stocky
humanoids with dull, gray metallic skins, broad
shoulders and thick-waist. Plumachs resort to
combat only when it’s clear that their lives or
interests are threatened.
Tactics: Rilmani tend to stay out of
conflicts unless the state of Balance is in
question. Even if attacked directly, they will first
take a moment to consider how their reaction
might affect the Balance - then they either
counterattack or flee.

Shadow Fiend
The shadow fiends are a race of traders in
the Lower Planes that deals in minds that they
have captured in dark gems. They look like tall,
slender humanoids with small batlike wings and
a body composed of darkness.
Tactics: Shadow fiends tend to attack by
surprise, lunging themselves out from the nearby
shadows. They prefer to remain in dimly lit
areas, because direct sunlight or total darkness
makes them somewhat vulnerable.

Slaadi
The slaadi are bipedal frog-like beings
native to Limbo. They scavenge battlefields
of the Blood War, feeding on the dead and
using the wounded as instruments in their
reproductive cycle. The powerful varieties of
slaad pursue their own agendas, using less
powerful types as their thugs and agents. Each
slaadi has a symbol of power is embedded in the
forehead – these Non-magical tattoos signify
past achievements and current status.
Blue slaadi are ruthless warriors that
specialize in mass combat. Two long, sharp bone
rakes protrude from the back of each hand.
Death slaadi are the greatest of their kind.
They have achieved great power through evil
ceremonies. Most work to propagate their race,
marshalling mobs of slaadi to invade villages on
the Lower Planes. They imprison the population
as hosts and incubate a new generation of slaadi.
Gray slaadi are fascinated by power and
magic, apparently seeking the near-immortality.
Green slaadi are defensive about
weaknesses and self-aggrandizing in triumph.
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
Tremendous braggarts, they sometimes pause
even during combat to gloat over opponents.
Red slaadi are vicious combatants
that quickly attack other creatures. Ruthless
in numbers, they surround, torment, and
slaughter smaller groups.
Tactics: Whether hunting or raiding,
they never actually cooperate in combat. If
four slaadi were facing one foe, for instance,
they would take turns fighting him. Only if
the first slaad were defeated would the next
begin to fight, and so on. On the one hand,
this means that one foe could conceivably
hold off an entire horde of slaadi. On the
other hand, that means that he couldn’t just
defeat their leader and scare the others away.

Slasrath
Slasraths were simply horrible slimy
worms native to Gehenna until an enslaved
sorcerer got hold of them and transformed them
into the flying horrors that they are today. Long
and wide, they are extremely flat. Razortipped
wings flutter to keep them aloft, skin is
generally black and tail has nasty barb.
Tactics: The slasrath moves gracefully
with a great deal of maneuverability in the air.
When it attacks its prey it begins by swooping
down from above, using the razor-sharp edges
on its wings.

Sollux
Sollux are tall, statuesque humanoids
with crimson skin and bright yellow hair.
Most sollux are members of the Brotherhood
of the Sun, a knightly order which seeks
to confront and defeat efreet on the Prime
Material Plane. Its members are called
Brothers of the Sun, or sun brothers, whether
male or female. Sollux tend to be even-
tempered and somewhat friendly.
Tactics: Sollux prefer to negotiate
when dealing with non-efreet or fire genasi
and will make an orderly retreat if faced with
poor odds. When dealing with efreet or fire
genasi, sollux always seek to slay them or
drive them away.

Spectral Death
Also known as soul eaters, spectral
deaths are negative energy beings that look
like boiling clouds of blackness. A spectral
death’s vaporous body is always surrounded
by a sickly black-green glow.
Tactics: Spectral death is a solitary
hunter that takes the advantage of its
surrounding area in order to quickly
and silently capture a foe while no one’s
expecting. It generally slays beings as ordered
by the person who summoned or received it.
Once given a victim to kill, it will not quit
until the victim or itself is defeated. If the
soul eater’s victim is slain by another or if
the soul eater is defeated, it will return to the
summoner and attack him.

Spiders, Giant
These giant arachnids are much like their
cousins on the Prime Material Plane except for
the fact that they have evolved and adapted to
harsh planar conditions.
Hook spiders are monstrous spiders which
have evolved in the Lower Planes. It is a yellow-
red spider with its 2 forelegs equipped with
hooked claws which are used for holding prey.
Planar spiders are intelligent, plane
traveling black arachnids which have a vast, but
odd, civilization. They are as unpredictable as
humans but rarely attack adventurers without
provocation, preferring instead to attempt to
communicate with any creatures they meet in
order to determine the strangers’ intentions.
Tactics: In combat, a planar spider flits
between planes to confuse foes. Their favorite
tactic is to appear behind their opponents. If
overmatched, a planar spider flees off plane.

Sugo
Lurking in the swamps of Acheron are
horrible creatures called sugos. Juiblex himself
created them, but they turned against him and
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
all other creatures of chaos. They greedily
devour the bugs and large worms of Acheron,
but would much rather seek greater prey. A
sugo appears as a flattish brown disc with a
large red eye in the top center. Radiating from
the sides of the disc are eight slimy, brown
tentacles, each equipped with a large grey
sucker cup at the end.
Tactics: Sugos blend in perfectly with
the bog, and thus surprise their opponents
frequently. A sugo will attempt to attach its
suckers to several targets and suck their flesh
away. It will only remove its sucker if the
victim is killed or if the tentacle is chopped
off.

Tanar’ri
Tanar’ri (known as demons to mortals)
are fiends native to the Abyss. They are
motivated not by doctrines but by insane,
violent inner drives. They tempt mortals into
crimes of passion and vice, evils of appetite.
Less intelligent tanar’ri often attack without
question and fight until slain. The tanar’ri are
one of the two major factions in the Blood
War. For as long as the tanar’ri have existed,
they have waged war against their ancient
enemies, the baatezu.
Alkiliths seek to pollute the world
beyond the Abyss physically and morally.
They destroy things that’re beautiful,
desecrate things that’re sacred, and fan
the embers of fear or resentment into
raging hatred. They are disgusting blobs of
phosphorescent green corruption, with bodies
surrounded by a cracked, leathery coating.
Generally they are found in the service to
Abyssal Lords as agents and assassins.
Armanites are mobile shock troops
in the Blood War, able to strike and retreat
quickly. They depend on the rush and fury
of their charges to preserve them rather than
on tactics, spellpower, or careful timing.
Armanites resemble pale, undead centaurs
with the horns of rams or bulls. The flesh on
206
their bellies sags so much that older armanites
sometimes look like gutted half-horses, dragging
their entrails beneath them.
Babau roam the layers of the Abyss
recruiting weaker tanar’ri for the vast armies
of the Blood War. They look like tall skeletons
covered with dark, form-fitting leather. A great
horn protrudes from the back of their skulls.
Balors are greatest and most terrible of
the tanar’ri, the undisputed terrors of the Abyss.
They motivate the tanar’ri involvement in the
Blood War and derive immense pleasure from
others’ suffering. They are repulsive, towering
humanoids with dark red skin, huge wings,
wicked claws and searing flames that surround
it.
Bar-lgura are hulking, brutish creatures
that sometimes serve as scouts for armies in
the Blood War. They look like orangutans with
frightening visages. Bar-lgura favor ambush
tactics, springing forth at opponents from
cover. Experts at camouflage, they change their
coloration to that of their surroundings.
Black trolls, also known as demon
trolls, are natives to the Abyss. They resemble
oversized trolls with smooth black skin, sparse
hair, green eyes with an evil gleam, and red
horns jutting out from their forehead. Black
trolls fight in the same manner as normal trolls,
but have a much wider array of abilities, and a
notably higher intelligence, which they use to
their utmost advantage. They like to use their
Lightning Bolt II in the middle of a melee, as
their immunity to electricity protects them well.
Bulezau are born and bred to fight in the
Blood War. They are used as heavy infantry,
assault leaders, and personal guards who’re too
stubborn and stupid to ever give up. A bulezau
resembles a gaunt furless minotaur with clawed
feet and a long, serpentine tail with a clump of
iron-hard spines at its end. The bulezau’s horns
and head are more ramlike.
Chasme travel the layers of the Abyss in
search of tanar’ri that evade participation in
the Blood War. They are abominable crosses
between human and fly: the body of a giant fly
with unnatural human arms in place of forelegs
and a vaguely human head.
Chemosits are aggressive carnivorous
tanar’ri whose mouth emits light. They resemble
vile humanoid birds, with a single clawed leg.
Dire whiners typically appear as large,
ugly women, smeared with dirt and slime. They
usually live in caves or swamps in the Abyss.
Dretches are the most common tanar’ri,
found in massive hordes everywhere in the
Abyss. Along with the manes, the dretches are
the rank-and-file of the Blood War. They are
Chapter 6: Foes
gaunt, squat humanoids with rubbery, almost
hairless bodies. Their skin is pale white to
beige, giving way to sickly blue in some areas,
stretched over pulsing varicose veins.
Gelloudes are frightening natives of
the Abyss known for stealing and devouring
children, expectant mothers, and maidens.
A gelloudes has the upper torso of a woman,
with pronounced fangs and clawed hands.
Her lower body is serpentine, with a pair
of scaled legs with webbed talons. Large,
dragonlike wings sprout from her back.
Glabrezu are the tanar’ri that typically
respond to summonings from other planes.
They go forth and secure power for their
cause and act as the covert agents of the
underworld. They are towering, broad and
well-muscled bipedal canines, with four arms,
two that end in clawed hands and two with
powerful pincers. They usually avoid combat,
preferring guile, trickery, and evil bargains.
However, if things do not go as planned, the
glabrezu thinks nothing of slaying the foe.
Goristroi (singular goristro) can be
found on nearly any plane of the Abyss,
for they are adaptable and much desired by
the rulers of the place to serve as engines of
destruction. They are vaguely reminiscent
of giant bears, although their shoulders are
broader, their visages a nightmarish cross
between bison and human, and their hands
and feet disproportionately large, splayed,
and humanlike.
Hezrou perform the will of the
nalfeshnee by wandering the Abyss and
overseeing the formation of armies. They
look like large, roughly humanoid toads with
arms in place of forelegs.
lncubi (singular incubus) are the male
counterparts to succubi, but they are far less
common.
Kakkuu are the weakest of all spyder-
fiends. They are bloodthirsty and animalistic.
They have a bloated spider body and a
mangy, filthy wolf head. When left on their
own, kakkuu behave very much like huge
spiders, hiding and lying in wait for prey.
Living fortresses have been imbued
with sentience by tanar’ri, possibly altering
a lesser fiend to fuse with the fortress. The
fortress has demonic motif and its walls
are covered with eyes, mouths and clawed
limbs. A tanar’ri living fortress can attack any
creature outside or inside itself, rending it to
strips with its claws. If it detects intruders,
it can contact all tanar’ri within itself and
put the fortress on alert. When faced with
foes blasting it out of its reach, it typically
207
 summons vrocks to deal with airborne pests.
Lycosidiliths, spyder-fiends, are the
personal guards and servants of tanar’ri lords.
Their tactics are similar to phisarazu. They
resemble phisarazu except that they have
a sleek, hairless spider body covered with
chitinous plates.
Manes are the most pathetic beings on
the lower layers of the Abyss, vast and endless
as the layers themselves. They are spawned from
dead mortals whose souls end up in the Abyss.
They have pale white skin that appears bloated.
Manes have long, cruel claws; sharp teeth;
sparse hair; and pale white eyes that constantly
drip disgusting liquids.
Mariliths are the generals and tacticians
for the Blood War. They appear as half snake,
half humanoid with six arms.
Maurezhi are a plague in the worlds
beyond the Abyss, a scourge of evil that
taints any plane it seeps onto. Maurezhi prey
on mortals and feed upon corpses, stealing
portions of their victims’ memories, skills, and
appearance. A maurezhi’s posture is hunched
and feral, its skin gray and leathery, and its
hands filthy talons. The maurezhi’s face slopes
into a short, fang-filled muzzle, and its ears are
catlike. They enjoy stalking and terrifying their
victims.
Molydei (singular molydeus) enforce the
war effort as a sort of political officer. They
report directly to the balors, but even balors
are not above reproach, and the molydei would
turn against one that strays. They are powerful,
muscular humanoids with two grotesque heads -
a snarling dog’s head and snake’s head.
Nabassu are a scourge of humanity,
the only fiends that live a part of their lives
on a foreign plane. They resemble tall, gaunt
gargoyles with great claws.
Nalfeshnee are the most intelligent
tanar’ri, considering themselves superior even
to the balors but recognizing balors’ greater
strength. Nalfeshnee are very tall humanoids
with glowing red eyes and small wings that
appear unable to bear their ponderous bodies.
They are known as “lords of woe,“ for they
judge the mortal life forces that pass into the
Abyss.
Ngojama are aggressive man-eating
tanar’ri. They are difficult to control and are
useful to spellcasters only as assassins. Their
hand claws prohibit them from using tools of
any sort. They resemble hairy humanoids with
horns, big fans and retractable claws.
Ostegos, also known as death demons,
appear as tall gaunt, hairless humanoids with
gray scaly skin and huge bat wings. Ivory fangs
protrude from their mouths and their fingers are
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
tipped with adamantine talons.
Phisarazu, a spyder-fiend, resembles a
spithriku but has two pale humanoid arms
sprouting from the base of its neck. They
love ambushes and sometimes even try to
impersonate a kakkuu or spithriku so as to
lure their prey into a false sense of security.
Raklupises are the most powerful of the
spyder-fiends, serving the tanar’ri lords as
elite forces and advisors. They typically begin
combat by hurling globes of venom. They
have a wolf head with luxuriant grayish-black
fur and a triple row of spines down its neck
to its spider body. Two humanoid arms sprout
from the base of their necks.
Rutterkin are pathetic, malformed
and outcast tanar’ri. They resemble terribly
ugly humans – hairless, with pointed skulls,
distorted features, and backward-pointing
ears.
Spithriku serve, a spyder-fiend, are
essentially larger versions of kakkuu except
for a pair of hairy leg-like appendages
extending from the base of its neck. The
greater intelligence of spithriku allows them
to use better tactics than kakkuu.
Succubi (singular succubus) are the
beautiful and seductive temptresses of
mortals. Succubi appear as a beautiful woman
with large wings and sinister, glowing eyes.
Uridezu, called rat-fiends, are hulking
man-sized creatures. They resemble leprous
muscular bipedal rats. Much like their smaller
cousins, they act as predators or scavengers
and sometimes set up lairs in urban areas and
prey on locals.
Vrocks serve as elite fighting troops
in the Blood War. They look like a cross
between a large human and a vulture, with
strong, sinewy limbs covered with fine gray
feathers; long necks and vulture heads; and
wicked claws and beak. They are often sent
on missions such as infiltration and other
covert missions. The chant says that there is
an even more powerful variety somewhere in
the Abyss, the ancient vrocks.
Wastrilith, or water lords, inhabit
watery parts of the Lower Planes content
in their isolation. They intimidate undersea
denizens so much that even unintelligent
creatures serve them. They resemble large eels
with bulging eyes and horrendous humanoid
torsos. Wastrilith are canny opponents, rarely
giving their enemies advantage and certainly
no quarter. Because they do not believe in
suffering needlessly, they send their minions
forth to combat enemies.
Yochlol, known as the Handmaidens
208
of Lolth, are servants of Lolth on her home
layer and her agents on the Outer Planes. In
their natural form, the yochlol are heaps of
amorphous slime, with eight powerful tentacles
and a single, glaring, red eye. However, they
generally assume the form of a beautiful young
woman or take the form of a giant black spider.
Tactics: Tanar’ri fight as a horde,
barely acknowledging their allies in immediate
presence. Only the strongest tanar’ri employ
tactics in combat while the weaker tanar’ri are
unable to control their violent inner drives. The
tanar’ri generally attack without question and
fight until slain, while some roam transitive
planes, seeking new victims.

Tener
The tener, a native to Pandemonium,
is greed incarnate and will jealously guard
anything of the slightest value - It regards all
strangers as thieves. It is a grey, hairy, spindly-
limbed creature. It is bipedal and has long
claws on the hands of its four arms. It has
large amber eyes set in a small round head,
and spiderlike chelicerae flank its fanged
mouth. Teners are better known for their
greed than for their malice, and they may be
bribed not to harm a party. Such bribery is
214
expensive, however, and not particularly reliable.
Tactics: Tener generally attacks by
setting up an ambush. It is capable of paralyzing
opponents and quickly dispatching them using
its great number of natural attacks. Since it
doesn’t want to draw attention onto itself, it
usually finishes off paralyzed victims further
away from other companions.

Terithran
The terithran is a native to the Ethereal
Plane - a short biped with long sinewy arms
and an unusually large misshapen head. The
terithran has come to dislike the swirls, eddies
and warps which the use of large amounts of
magic on the Prime Material Plane causes on
the Ethereal Plane, its homeland (where it is
never found out of its lair). If it notices such
disturbances, it will materialize in the area of
the spellcaster responsible on the Prime Material
Plane and attempt to drain his power and take
him back to the Ethereal Plane for punishment.
Tactics: It will try to avoid this type of
fighting if possible so as to make full use of its
unique powers.

Chapter 6: Foes
Thendar
Thendar are native to the Astral Plane.
They are a wandering race, seldom remaining
in one place for very long. Thendar are
generally peaceful and have a great thirst for
knowledge of all sorts. They seek out new
experiences to relieve the monotony of their
existence.
Thendar appear to be tall, slender
humans with golden skin, silvery hair, and
glowing white eyes. Because of their long lives
and far travels, thendar are great sources of
information. The githyanki hold a particular
hatred for the thendar, who respond with
only an indifferent annoyance.
Tactics: Thendar are peaceful and are
only interested in combat from a scholar’s
viewpoint. Even then, they will not stay
around for long generally moving away using
their Teleport I ability.

Tiefling
Tieflings are handled with a rogue
template (see page 141). Species feats can be
applied for additional archetypes, such as
abyssal blood.
Time Dimensional
Time dimensionals are intelligences
composed entirely from the essence of time.
They are one of the few temporal creatures
that can travel to reality. Time dimensionals
exist in more than one time period so they
are always perceived as small clouds of fiery
dust.
Tactics: Luckily for others, time
dimensionals generally avoid combat. If
threatened, they resort to using Time Stop
and Haste to quickly disappear. However,
if cornered they attack from multiple time
dimensions.

Titan
Titans are gargantuan, almost godlike
men and woman. The twelve most powerful
titans have ruled countless worlds on the
Prime Material Plane eons ago. Titans appear
very much as humans do, but they are all very
muscular, handsome, and wear no facial hair.
Tactics: Titans enjoy combat and usually
close with their foes. If that proves ineffective,
they swiftly back off and pelt the foe with Fire
Storm or Wrath of Olympus.

Tribute Gatherer
Tribute gatherers resemble large gray
octopi with two sharp claws as well as two
tentacles. These horrid creatures dwell primarily
in the Abyss.
Tactics: These creatures are malicious
and have a cunning bent. Several will cooperate
to overwhelm a larger ship if opportunity
presents itself. If it succeeds in grappling a foe,
it will quickly drag it underwater in order to
drown it and eat it.

Tso
The tso are a race of slavers, smugglers
and cross-traders across the lawful planes.
They never do anything unless there is an
ironclad contract for it. They are highly social
and are often accompanied by slaves. A tso
has 8 insectile limbs, a bulging abdomen and
an eel-like head and neck.
Tactics: The tso tend to avoid physical
combat, instead sending their slaves to
protect them. They often use Charm Person
III in order to bring confusion and turn allies
against each other.

Tween
A tween is a parasitic creature that
needs an intelligent being for a host. They
live in the Border Ethereal and scour the
neighboring Prime Material Plane for
potential hosts. Some graybeards suspect that
tweens were once members of a race called
the kyleen, who dwelled on the Outlands
millennia ago. The kyleen were infected with
a strange chaos-plague that transformed
the whole race. While most mutated kyleen
ended up as devete wandering the Astral
216
Plane, some found a new home on the Ethereal
Plane as the tweens. Both races seem to lack any
goal or independent purpose, and either mimic
other beings (devete) or bind themselves to
them (tweens).
Tactics: An unattached tween prefers to
run away from a threat, and fights only when
cornered. The combat actions of an attached
tween typically resemble the actions of its host.
Tween (Small Outsider Spirit Walker
– 24 XP): Str 10, Dex 10, Con 10, Int 10, Wis

Utukku
Utukku are vicious predators of the
planes that kill all trespassers, including others
of their kind. Their lairs in the great ash deserts
of Carceri always include impressive defenses,
as each utukku must defend itself from all
competitors. Utukku want no part of the
intrigues of other fiends, and prey on any fiend
they meet. An utukku bears the head of a lion,
with long quills radiating out in place of a mane.
Its scaled humanoid body is dark brick-red, with
a golden-red face and striped black and white
spines. Huge, white claws cap its hands and feet.
Tactics: Utukku always use their
clawed hands to slash at foes rather than using
manufactured weapons. They also make good
use of their natural powers in combat.

Vaati
The vaati, or wind dukes, are a race of
immortals dedicated to order. Their society is
divided into seven castes. They resemble tall,
muscular, androgynous humans with ebony skin
Chapter 6: Foes
and white eyes. Eons ago, the vaati ruled
a vast empire spread across many Prime
Material Worlds but then they were nearly
annihilated. They survived only by creating
the Rod of Seven Parts and used it to end the
war.
Tactics: Vaati are peaceful and prefer
to negotiate rather than fight. If pressed
into action, or faced with chaotic foes, they
display considerable strength and ingenuity
in combat.
Vaati (Medium Fey Folk Flyer/

Treasure: 4C, 2L, 1M
Vargouille
The vargouille has a hideous,
humanlike head with batlike wings, fangs,
and a crown and fringe of writhing tentacles.
Tactics: The sight of a vargouille,
combined with its terrifying shriek, causes
fear. Vargouilles usually remain below ground
or inside buildings, but they sometimes fly at
night in search of prey.

Viltch
Viltches are hateful creatures from
Pandemonium, inclined to malign destruction
and disorder. They are skilled vandals,
ripping open wineskins, spoiling food,
biting through ropes and straps, tormenting
domestic animals, smashing wood, and
generally creating havoc wherever they go.
217
 A viltch resembles a mandrill with matted and
disheveled fur, and is a dirty gray color. Its
muzzle is blue-gray. It has a mane of darker
color, and its eyes burn a baleful yellow. A viltch
has only three legs: a single leg in back, and two
in front. It seems not to be handicapped by this
arrangement.
Tactics: They seek out weak prey and
avoid direct confrontation with powerful
creatures.

Viper Tree
Viper trees are white, scaly trees with
living snakes’ heads as their branches. Though
they can writhe and reach as snakes do, usually
viper trees simply sway in the breeze as other
trees - but they also move even in the absence of
any breeze.
Tactics: Single viper trees generally
attack smaller creatures. If attacked with missile
weapons, they can use Nature’s Ally I to break
off their own branches and crawl toward their
attackers. These branches ooze sap from their
broken end and die rather quickly.

Visage
The visage is a creature of deception
that assaults the minds of victims to crush
their wills, and even steal their identities.
The visage’s reality warping powers can leave
victims questioning their own reality and
perceptions, and that’s assuming the victim
survives the encounter. A visage is composed
of wispy, dark shadow stuff, with ghastly
white masks for heads and no legs. A person
seeing the visage’s form will most likely be
killed in order for the Visage to assume his
identity and place in society.
Tactics: Visages can strike with their
razor-sharp claws, but love their own unique
way of warping minds too much to rely on
physical attacks. The visage can reach into
its victim’s mind to twist it to think and
experience whatever the visage wants. The
visage prefers to use this power subtly, to
make it less likely that the victim will realize
it is being manipulated. To enhance the false
reality, the visage will often mix in a little
true reality; it might exaggerate perceived
distances, change the layout of a building, or
make real objects appear to move.
When the visage has caused enough
confusion and fear to make its victim unable
to trust its own senses, it will either finish the
victim off with its claws, or continue to toy
with the victim until it causes its own end
or another creature finishes it off. The visage
also has the ability to dominate a target, to
use it as a puppet. Visages working in concert
often simultaneously use both lucidity control
and domination on the same target.

Xill
The vaguely reptilian xill are natives
of the Ethereal Plane. Four-armed, leathery-

some strange twist of fate, these beings area
feared on all planes that border the Ethereal.
Tactics: Less sophisticated xill attack
with their four claws when in battle. Xill of
more civilized clans use well-forged weapons.
Barbaric xill prefer to attack opponents on
planes that “touch” the Border Ethereal. From
there, they slip between the folds to reach the
target plane, where they usually startle their
intended victims. The invading xill attack not to
kill but to subdue and abduct their foes.

Yugoloths
Yugoloths are fiends that inhabit the
Lower Planes of Acheron, Gehenna, the Gray
Waste, and Carceri. They act as mercenaries
in the Blood War, but they display a complete
lack of loyalty. These cunning creatures turn on
their employers for greater payment by another.
Those who use yugoloths as mercenaries must
have power over them before entering battle.
Altraloths are yugoloths who have made
pacts with night hags to become unique and
powerful creatures, resented as traitors by the
rest of their kind. An altraloth sometimes fits
a given theme, such as death, pestilence, war,
and famine and as such their abilities are under
GM’s discretion.
Arcanaloths keep records and execute
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
contracts for the yugoloths. They negotiate
all bargains with baatezu and tanar’ri and
play the two sides against each other with
practiced ease. An arcanaloth looks like a
robed human with the head of a fanged jackal
or war dog.
Baernaloths are the outcasts among the
ranks of the yugoloths. They rarely associate
with other yugoloths and are always found on
the Gray Waste. They have long, gangly limbs
with purulent gray flesh and oversized horned
head with mouth compromising nothing but
teeth and tongue.
Canoloths are specialized yugoloths
who serve as scouts, skirmishers, and trackers
for the yugoloth mercenary companies, they
resemble great semi insectile mastiffs, their
hulking forms plated in chitinous armor.
Their bodies‘ve got a distinctly bulldoglike
shape to them, with massive jaws and short
squat forelegs. It has a vile barbed tongue but
no eyes.
Dergholoths serve as rank-and-file
mercenaries in the Blood War. They have
round bodies with five arms and three legs.
Their insect-like heads rotate 360 degrees,
so they can move and change direction with
astonishing speed.
Gacholoths serve as the infiltrators and
terrorists of the Blood War, causing havoc and
spreading panic to all sides. They have ebon
skin and four long, powerful legs tipped with
three sharp claws. They strike swiftly and
savagely, making use of their significant speed
and maneuverability.
Guardian yugoloths are yugoloth
creations who are commonly summoned
to guard an area or object. They resemble
winged bears with ram’s horns and wicked red
eyes.
Hydroloths are elite fighting forces
commonly used in yugoloth ambushes or
amphibian attacks. They are squat humanoids
with underarm gliding flaps, frog-like faces,
and warty yellow skin.
Marraenoloths are unique among the
yugoloths in that they have an established
task: They are boatmen who pilot small skiffs
on the black waters of the River Styx. The
thin, gray, pale-eyed humanoids are easily
identified by their skeletal faces, somber
hooded robes, and eyes that glow red when
they are angry.
Mezzoloths are the rank-and-file
warriors of the mercenary armies. They look
like humanoid insects covered in chitinous
plates of a dirty ivory color.
Nycaloths reconnoiter the Lower
220
Planes and observe the Blood War. They report
their findings to the arcanaloths, who use the
information in negotiating contracts. Nycaloths
are hulking, broad humanoids with powerful
limbs and wings.
Piscoloths are the sergeants and overseers
of yugoloth mercenary armies. The fish-tailed,
walleyed piscoloth has the body of a lobster
with talons of a bird. They enjoy their work, for
they are cruel, hateful, and bullying.
Ultroloths are the strange, enigmatic rulers
of the yugoloths. These ruling yugoloths appear
as faceless humanoids with large eyes that
resemble fire-opals and dark gray skin. They
rarely enter combat and rarely have to.
Yagnoloths are nobles of the yugoloth
society, despised lords of fiefs and all who enter
these fiefs. They are large, horrible humanoid
creatures with two unequal arms, one man-sized
and the other giant-sized. They have scaly red
skin, bulky muscles, and horrid heads with
wing-like ears. They are greedy and gluttonous,
and they abuse their power greatly.
Tactics: Depending on the
circumstances, a yugoloth might fight or
abandon his allies at a moment’s notice. As
mercenaries, they do not feel obligated to die
needlessly so they always consider what would
be the best course of long-term action. If they
survive but are later punished for their betrayal,
so be it. Even when encountered in a group,
each yugoloth fights for himself.

Monster Templates
These new Monster Templates are
available in addition to those in Fantasy Craft.
Special Note: A monster’s XP value does
not decrease when a template reduces attribute
scores, even if the scores start higher than 10.
Similarly, templates may add XP without effect
when a template raises a statistic above its
maximum or adds a quality the NPC already
has. Rule-breaking combinations may also arise,
like Competence scores rising above Signature
Skills. In these and other cases where templates
interact strangely with base NPCs, the GM
should make the call that best fits his setting
and story.
Animal Lord (+57 Xp)
The animal lords care little for anything
but matters directly related to their business.
They conduct day-to-day affairs related to the
animal over which they hold dominion with
little regard for the world around them. If a
person or animal enters a lord’s territory, the
lord often aids the creature to get rid of it rather
than let it die. But in other dealings an animal
lord can be brutal and uncaring. There is, as
they say, no such thing as animal politics.
Requirements: Animal
Benefit: The NPC gains the Outsider
Type, his Intelligence rises by 6, his Wisdom
and Charisma rise by 4 each. His Initiative,
Attack, Defense, Health, and Competence rise
by II each. He also gains always ready, attractive
II, natural spell (Charm Person III, Nature’s Ally
V), shapeshifter II, spell defense III, and telepathic.
Chapter 6: Foes
Example: Pegasus Lord
In his human form, the pegasus lord,
looks like a tall, black-eyed man of great
strength. The one trait that separates him
from other humans is his white mane, which
runs down his back. He is generally found
near the sea shores and on the glades beneath
the Mount Olympus.

The einheriar are humanoid spirits

They appear as wispy, humanoid warriors

individual resembles the being he was in life;
the majority of einheriar were human before
death.
Requirements: Alignment (Good)

Monster of Legend (+135
Xp)
The monsters of legend are archetypes of a
particular monster. A monster of legend is
very similar to its terrestrial counterpart, but
it usually has even more of that which makes
its lesser kin dangerous. It’s bigger, stronger,
meaner, and tougher than any normal member
of its species. They are never randomly
encountered or just blundered into.
Benefit: The NPC’s Initiative, Attack,
Defense, Health, and Resilience rise by IV each
and his attributes rise by 2 each. The NPC’s
Size increases by one category, his natural and
extraordinary attacks rise by IV grades and his
skills rise by V grades. He also gains condition
immunity (frightened, shaken), dramatic entrance,
dread, fearless II, fearsome, monstrous attack I, spell

and damage defiance (if any) becomes damage

immunity. Finally, double the NPC’s damage
reduction, change its Treasure to 6C, 6L, 5M
and assign it any unique NPC qualities if
necessary (adjust the final XP accordingly).
Example: Legendary Hydra
The legendary hydra, also known as
the Lernaean hydra, is a serpent-like chthonic
water beast that possesses nine heads. For
each head cut off it grows two more and its
poison is so virulent even its tracks are deadly.
The hydra guards the entrance to the Gray
Waste from Arborea and is the offspring of
Typhon and Echidna.

Prolonger (+20 XP)
A prolonger, also called a cheater, is
someone who believes that life is the only
point to living and thus resists death by
every possible means. A prolonger always
has cold, dead eyes and is often scared of
death. Mercykillers, Believers of the Source,
Harmonium and Dustmen all despise them.
Only the Athar, Bleak Cabal and Fated can
admire a cutter who can give death the laugh.

Example: Prolonger Con Man
This shady prolonger finishes off his
deals by heartlessly stealing the life force

he frequently travels, in order to conceal his
presence. Since the planes are infinite, he could
go on like this forever.

Shade (+18 XP)
Shades were mortals that have traded
their souls or spirits through arcane magic or
dark sciences for the essence of shadowstuff.
While still retaining the shape and abilities
of their original species, they have grown in
power by joining with this shadowstuff on the
Demiplane of Shadow.
Prerequisites: Folk Type, Alignment
(Non-Good)
Benefit: The NPC gains the Undead
Type and his Stealth grade (if any) rises by one.
He also gains Achilles heel (flash), light-sensitive,
natural spell (Mirror Images, Shadow Walk),

Example: Shade Wizard
This wizard hails from the Demiplane of
Shadows. He spends most of his time pouring

Warden Beast (+22 XP)
A warden beast is a spiritual
representation of an animal group in the
Beastlands. It is the protector, purveyor
and proliferators of its species, serving as
a leader and champion. Each warden beast
holds dominion over an animal group, such
as bears, wolves, deer, birds, etc. Unlike the
animal lord, there are many warden beasts
in each animal group. If the animal lord
is the king of an animal group, then the
warden beast is the duke or one of the king’s
representatives.
Requirements: Animal Type
Benefit: The NPC gains the Outsider
Type, his Defense increases by one grade, his
Size increases by one category, his Strength
rises by 4, Constitution by 2 and Intelligence
by 6. He also gains damage reduction 1, devoted
(Nature II), and spell defense I.
Example: Warden Tiger
This enormous tiger serves the Tiger
Lord on Karasuthra, the land of eternal
midnight in the Beastlands. Those that
approach him, should be aware that his
appetite is legendary.

 AD&D Conversions
These rules will help you convert
monsters found in dozens of AD&D
(Advanced Dungeons & Dragons) books to
Mastercraft format.

Conversion Threat Level

The NPC’s Conversion Threat Level is
equal to its AD&D Hit Dice. You’ll use this
value when converting other stats.

Example: A red slaad has 7 Hit Dice, so

its Conversion Threat Level is also 7.

Planescraft (First PLAYTEST) 228

 The Constitution score can be
determined by increasing it by 2 for each Size
category above Medium or by dividing the
NPC’s bonus hit points by its Hit Dice (round
down, minimum 1) to find out its Hit Point
Adjustment (see Table 6.6: Ability Conversion).
The Intelligence score is generally noted
in all entries. Take the highest possible value. If
only the descriptive listing is available such as in
AD&D 1st Edition, refer to Table 6.7: AD&D 1st
Edition Intelligence Conversion below. Finally,
if no listing’s available at all, refer to creature’s
description to determine its Intelligence score.
Wisdom and Charisma scores are
similar to the creature’s Intelligence score. If
the listing’s unavailable, refer to creature’s
description.
Example: A red slaad has the following
AD&D scores: Intelligence 5 – 7, Armor Class 4,
Hit Dice 7 + 3, Morale 8 – 10. These translate
to Str 10, Dex 10, Con 12, Int 6, Wis 10, Cha
10 in Fantasy Craft.
If the NPC has any AD&D natural
attacks, compare the maximum damage of each,
sans Strength modifier, with the same attack’s
maximum damage in Fantasy Craft at Grades I,
III, and V (again, without Strength). Apply the
grade that’s closest without going over. If the
maximum AD&D damage is 50% or more of the
way toward the next Fantasy Craft grade, raise
the grade by 1 more (increasing the attack’s
threat range by 1).
Example: The red slaad has an AD&D
Bite inflicting 2d8 damage (a max. of 16). At
the creature’s Size (Large), the closest Fantasy
Craft Bite that doesn’t exceed this is Grade
I (dmg 1d10; threat 18–20). The maximum
AD&D damage is more than 50% of the way
toward the maximum Bite II damage, though,
so the red slaad gains Bite II (dmg 1d10; threat
range 17–20).
Also, the red slaad has two AD&D
Claws inflicting 1d4 damage each. Again, at
the creature’s Size, the claw damage translates
closest to Grade I (dmg 1d8; threat 20).
Apply the NPC’s Strength modifier to
the resulting Fantasy Craft damage.
Finally, apply any natural attack qualities
needed to simulate AD&D effects.
Example: The red slaad’s Claw is linked
to its AD&D egg-pellet special attack, which
is easily handled in Fantasy Craft with the
infectious conversion quality. This attack will be
handled in the following steps.
Chapter 6: Foes
Step 4: Other Attacks
and Qualities
This step converts AD&D Special
Attacks, Special Defenses, and Magic
Resistance. It is suggested to be as familiar
with NPC creation rules as possible because
many of the options operate with slight
differences. Identify what all the original
attacks and abilities do. Once you have done
this, consult Table 6.12: Other Attack and
Quality Conversions (see Fantasy Craft page
298) and look for similar abilities. If that
doesn’t quite do it, look through first three
Fantasy Craft chapters to see if any of the
class abilities, feats or spells will work. In that
case, you should give the NPC the class ability,
feat or natural spell qualities. Only those class
abilities on Table 6.3: NPC Class Abilities (see
Fantasy Craft page 232) are available.
Finally, if you haven’t found a good
option, you will need to build your own
using the rules for Extraordinary Attacks (see
Fantasy Craft page 236).
Magic Resistance is converted by
dividing the given number by 15 (round
down, minimum 1). The result is the NPC’s
spell defense grade.
A Low morale score (7 or lower) grants
the meek quality, a high morale score (15-
18) grants the fearless I quality and finally,
the highest morale score (19-20) grants the
fearless II quality.
You do not need to convert all attacks
and qualities. Focus on the most useful
options which won’t complicate the NPC and
increase its XP without a good reason. For
example, you shouldn’t give the NPC more
than 4 natural spells.
Example: The red slaad also has
stun, which translates to a stunning croak
extraordinary attack. It also has egg-pellet,
which translates to an infectious conversion
quality. Finally, it has Magic Resistance 30%
which becomes spell defense II.
Step 5: Skills
AD&D NPCs rarely possess
nonweapon proficiencies but in case they do,
they can be easily translated into Fantasy
Craft skills and sometimes to other qualities.
If the NPC has 4 or more proficiencies,
convert up to 3 and increase its Competence
grade by 1 per 2 proficiencies not converted.

 Each proficiency slot directly translates
as a Signature Skill grade. If two or more
proficiencies share the Signature Skill (see Table
6.8), add their grades together.
If a Signature Skill grade does not exceed
the NPC’s Competence, he probably doesn’t
need that Signature Skill.
Example: Per its AD&D description, a
red slaad does not possess any nonweapon
proficiencies.
Step 6: Feats
Read the NPC’s description. If you can
identify any feat-like ability the NPC possesses,
give it the appropriate feat.
Example: Per its AD&D description, a red
slaad does not possess any feats.
Step 7: Gear and Treasure
Gear translates directly; just go through
Chapter 4 of Fantasy Craft to find the
appropriate item(s).
Convert the treasure using Table 6.9:
Treasure Conversion (see below).
Example: A red slaad’s AD&D treasure
code is “K, Q” which translates to Fantasy Craft
Treasure “1L”.
Step 8: Remaining Entries
This step covers the rest of NPC’s
abilities such as Defense and Class. Any entries
not listed here are ignored.
Race and Class
Fantasy Craft NPCs get abbreviated
species templates which are provided on page
248. Some class abilities can be applied with a
quality (see Fantasy Craft page 235). Use these
options sparingly, applying only the ones that
are the most vital, or iconic to making the NPC
memorable in your game.
Armor Class
If the AC value is equal to or greater than
0, subtract that number from 10. If it is lower
than 0 (a negative value), add it as a positive
value to 10. Remove Armor Class bonuses from
attributes, Size and gear. The NPC gains the
lowest possible Defense grade that includes the
result in the Conversion Threat Level column
of Table 6.1 (minimum I) (see Fantasy Craft page
229). If the result is not included in any grade,
they gain Defense X and monstrous defense (grade
equal to 1/3 the surplus result, rounded down).
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
If the AD&D armor class bonus is +1 or
higher, they also gain damage reduction (1/4 the
armor bonus, rounded up, to a maximum of
10).

such as x2; this means that you should

232
 Example: The red slaad’s AC is 4 which
yields a +6 bonus after the initial calculation.
Taking into account gear (None), the Dexterity
modifier (None), and the Size modifier (-1) we
determine that its natural armor class bonus
is +7. Scanning down the TL 7 column, +7
translates to Defense V. It also gains damage
reduction 2.
Initiative
The NPC’s Initiative grade is equal to its
Defense grade (see above).
Example: The red slaad’s Defense grade is
V, so its Initiative grade becomes V.
Speed/Mobility
Determine whether the NPC is a Walker,
Burrower, Flier, or Swimmer as shown on
Fantasy Craft page 227. Multiply the movement
by 2.5 feet and round up to nearest multiple of
10. AD&D maneuverability is ignored. If the
creature has a Climb/Swim speed listed, add
one or more grades of superior climber/swimmer,
depending on the speed value. Do not add the
Acrobatics or Athletics Signature Skills if the
NPC can’t climb, jump, or swim.
Older editions of AD&D used simplistic
symbols to identify other movement types.
Here are their meanings with X representing the
movement speed’s value.
Example: The red slaad can walk so it
becomes a Walker with a Speed of 20 ft.
Base Attack
Subtract the THAC0 value from 20. The
NPC gains the lowest possible Attack grade that
includes their attack bonus in the Conversion
Threat Level column of Table 6.1 (see Fantasy
Craft page 229). If the bonus is not included in
any grade, he gains Attack X and monstrous attack
(grade equal to 1/3 the surplus bonus, rounded
down).

Chapter 6: Foes
If the NPC has 1 attack listed,
decrease the Attack grade by 1 (down to a
minimum of 1). For each 2 attacks above the
first, increase the NPC’s attack grade by 1.
Example: The red slaad’s attack bonus
is +7, which translates to Attack V. It also
has 3 attacks listed so that increases his
Attack to VI.
Reach
The NPC’s Reach is determined by its
Size. Refer to Table 6.4: Size Conversion (see
above) to find out the value. If any of the
NPC’s AD&D attacks have additional reach,
add the reach quality to the corresponding
Fantasy Craft attacks.
Example: The red slaad’s Size is Large
and it’s tall, which means it gets Reach 2.
Saves
The NPC’s Resilience grade is equal to
its Health grade (see above).
Example: The red slaad’s Health grade
is IV, which translates to Resilience IV.
Alignment
If the NPC’s Alignment is available in
the current campaign, he gains the interests
quality. Refer to Table 6.11: Alignment
Conversion
Example: The red slaad is “Chaotic
neutral” and gains interests (Alignment
(Chaos)).

Chapter 7:
Planes
Running a
Planescraft Campaign
In a game of Planescraft, the party travels
across various planes of existence. Contrary to
the home world of mortals, these planes are
composed of pure belief, power of the mind, or
primal elements. Their sights and natives are
beyond anything encountered on the Prime
Material Plane.
Everything has an edge on the planes –
the land, the buildings, the natives – both living
and dead. The power of belief, faith, emotions,
and other abstracts are clearly felt here – gather
enough believers and they will reshape the
realm, bend the laws of the universe, and kill or
resurrect gods.
The planes are hard to reach, but worth
it. If you want the brightest and hottest flame,
you will find it on the Elemental Plane of Fire.
The largest diamonds are in the Quasielemental
Plane of Mineral. If you want to argue with the
smartest philosophers, visit one of the Great
Wheel planes. If you want to play a game of
chess with a deva, sail to Mount Celestia.
The planes are dangerous as well, hosting
bizarre beings that murder with an idea instead
of a weapon, visions and sights so sharp that
anyone looking at them suffers physical pain,
close servants of gods who may cross paths with
another, more powerful beings, and glorious
magic which can stand above and/or beyond
both the laws of physics and metaphysics and
vice-versa.
While wars are waged because of wealth
and land on the Prime Material Plane, here on
the Planes they are waged over the concept of
belief. Most natives are born with a purpose in
their life, and they know what they want and
need to do. The githzerai never again want to
suffer enslavement and live free, the tanar’ri
and the baatezu want to prove that their vision
of evil is the supreme one, the modrons want
to maintain their status quo, and the rilmani
want a bit of everything. Amongst these larger-
than-life beings mingle mortals, both those
born on the planes and travelers from the Prime
Material Plane (these mortals are also known
as the Clueless). They mostly congregate in
factions in the city at the center of multiverse,
Sigil. Although generally ignored by the more
powerful beings, they have been known to turn
Chapter 7: Planes
a few immortal heads on more than one
occasion.
Over time, the characters can discover
the other side of the meaning behind
words “belief is power” – the natives, the
experiences, the planes, and its wonders
can affect others as well. Leave a mercenary
fighting long enough in the Blood War
and he will never be the same again. Solve
the most complex mathematical equations
without the Guvner’s help and expand your
understanding of the reality. Depending
on the character, the actions, and the
background, one can discover unique abilities
under his control (see page 236).
Although the planar currency might
be money, the real valuables can only be
acquired by information. If the party feels it
has come to a dead-end, remember that there
is always someplace to go and something to
do on the infinite planes. The party should
know that it generally pays to talk instead
of fight everyone. In many cases they can
avoid a conflict through a bluff, intimidation,
or common sense. Peaceful solutions should
yield greater rewards, although club bashing
is not uncommon.
Although players choose an Alignment
for their characters in the beginning, it may
change during the game as the character’s
actions take impact on the planes. For
example, speaking the truth, even when
it might have consequences, obeying all
authorities and speaking out in favor of
truthfulness, law and order will bring
you closer to Order. Speaking lies, jokes,
poking fun at everyone, and random acts of
misbehavior will bring you closer to Chaos.
Performing good deeds without expecting
a reward will bring you closer to Good,
while demanding payment for everything
and treating others badly will bring you
closer to Evil Alignment. Strong personal
beliefs, membership in one of many planar
organizations or worshipping of a specific god
also describes a character’s Alignment.
However, more often than not
morality is not clear cut on the planes – the
long goal might be clear but the current
situation demands some “adjustments”
to the principal beliefs. For example, you
might help a celestial who in turn helps the
baatezu, just because you’re working for the
tanar’ri. Or you might stop a greater evil
by sacrificing good innocents. There are no
simple “rights” and “wrongs” – more often than
not there are three rights and three wrongs
or even sometimes none at all. Natives
235
 have a way with this, so the party shouldn’t
count on identifying someone’s goals by their
actions – there is always more to the planes
than what meets the eye. In Sigil, a celestial
might share a table with a fiendish monster or
an innocent person could be arrested, tried, and
executed in a single hour. Sometimes, this can
cause a character to rethink over his Alignment
choice – he might join another faction, start
praying to another god, or simply embrace a
new personal philosophy. In any case, change
to the Alignment should not be taken lightly or
frequently for it has some real consequences (see
Fantasy Craft page 309). The GM has the final
say over someone’s Alignment change.
It is worth noting that the avant-garde
world of Planescape is very big. These infinite
planes haven’t got the slightest hope of ever
being mapped. The GM is encouraged to
provide an overall feel for the planes without
necessarily detailing every corner of the world.
He should touch upon as many aspects of the
planes as possible, but explore only certain
facets in great detail. With so many possibilities
at their fingertips (and portals waiting to be
opened), GMs could lead a party on a Great
Wheel tour. Some GMs focus on Sigil and
perhaps a few planes. Regardless of the scope,
the theme of Planescape – ideas, philosophies,
morals, attitudes and other real abstracts –
should be always present and help carry on the
game. Of course, glory, wealth, skull bashing,
and wondrous sights and sound shouldn’t be left
out either.
Campaign Qualities
The following new campaign qualities
bring your Planescraft games more in line with
the original Planescape® world. In addition
to these, we suggest to make healing spells
available only to churches by using Lost Magic
(Healing) campaign quality (see Fantasy Craft page
326).
Belief Is Power (Permanent)
Characters can affect the Planes, but
the Planes can affect them as well. Characters’
beliefs defy who they are. Instead of applying a
bonus to any 1 attribute every 4 Career Levels
(see Fantasy Craft page 28), characters may select
any one of the following NPC Qualities: aquatic
I, attractive, cagey, darkvision I, fast healing, favored
foes, feral, improved sense, light sleeper, natural spell
(0 or 1st level only), sterner stuff, superior climber,
superior jumper, superior runner, superior swimmer,
superior traveler, and telepathic.
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
Divine Interdiction (Permanent)
When a Priest or a Paladin is on
an Outer Plane other than where his deity
resides, his Class Abilities function as if he
were one experience level lower for every
plane between himself and his deity’s home
plane. This is generally referred to as divine
interdiction. Due to the will of all deities, the
Great Wheel planes count as separate planes
for purposes of calculating the distance. The
loss is instantaneous and temporary, taking
the place the moment a plane is entered.
For example, if the character’s deity
resides on the Inner Planes and he’s currently
on the Outer Planes, he would temporarily
lose 3 effective levels of Class Abilities
(Astral Plane – the Prime Material – Ethereal
Plane). Another example for Outer Plane, if
the character’s deity resides on Bytopia and
he’s currently in Pandemonium, he would
temporarily lose 5 effective levels of Class
Abilities (Elysium – the Beastlands – Arborea
– Ysgard – Limbo).
However, while on an Outer Plane
in which his deity resides, a Priest or a
Paladin gains access to Class Abilities of one
experience lever higher.
Manifold Universe (Permanent)
Alignment consists of all Alignment
choices characters make (moral, ethical,
organizational, religious, etc.). They gain
access to all Paths, skills, ritual weapons, and
avatars.
For example, a character can have
Alignment (Chaos, Good, Kord, Society of
Sensation) which consists of four individual
Alignments.
Native Magic Items (Permanent)
Magical items are attuned to the
energies of the specific plane on which they
are crafted. Moving the item from its home
plane weakens that magic, temporarily
lowering the Charm bonus by 1 for every
plane between its owner’s current plane and
item’s home plane. If the item’s owner is
currently not there, the Great Wheel counts
as a single plane for purposes of calculating
the distance. On the other hand, if he is on
the Great Wheel, the planes count as separate
planes but take their connection to the Astral
Plane into account to determine the shortest
route between them.
For example, a gehennan magic
sword brought to Pandemonium temporarily
loses +2 from its Charm bonus because
the shortest route traces through the Astral
(or the Outlands) to Pandemonium. If that
236
sword’s home plane were Limbo, it would only
temporarily lose +1 from its Charm bonus,
since Limbo and Pandemonium are directly
adjacent. Magical items function normally only
on the plane which they were crafted. Artifacts
function normally everywhere; regardless of the
distance.
If the Charm bonus is temporarily
reduced to lower than +1, the item temporarily
loses its Essence as well (if any). However, it can
still be identified as a magic item.
Unfortunately, “cursed” items are not
affected by this, since they interact directly with
its owner no matter where he is.
Summon Kin (2 AD)
Summoned creatures can summon other
creatures on their own if they possess the ability
to do so in the first place. However, the GM
should note that NPCs will summon aid only in
a life or death situations as the summoned NPC
usually demands a hefty favor in return.

Planescraft (First PLAYTEST) 238


The Planes
Planescraft features 2 transitive planes,
18 inner planes, and 17 outer planes. Layers (if
any) are described as well. Each plane is defined
by its Traits.
Traits
Traits describe the plane’s position,
Alignment (if any) and various rules that apply
to magic and inhabitants. Some of these rules
are described below.
Countered: This entry lists Disciplines
of magic and any spell Element / Energy (E) that
are negated by the forces of plane. After such
spell has been cast, Spell Points are spent but
the Effect does not take place (see Fantasy Craft
page 112). Unlike with suppressed spells, arcane
keys do not help.
Diminished: This entry lists Disciplines
of magic and spell Element / Energy (E) whose
spells’ Effects are decreased by 1 Casting Level.
For example, a diminished Fireball I cast by a 6th
level Mage requires a Spellcasting check at DC
13 and 3 Spell Points but deals 5d6 points of
damage instead 6d6.
Enhanced: This entry lists Disciplines
of magic and spell Element / Energy (E) whose
spells’ Effects are increased by 1 Casting Level.
For example, an enhanced Fireball I cast by a 6th
level Mage requires a Spellcasting check at DC
13 and 3 Spell Points but deals 7d6 points of
damage instead 6d6.
Suppressed: This entry lists Disciplines
and spells’ Element / Energy (E) that are
suppressed or similarly altered by the plane.
Unless a specific arcane key is used during the
casting (see page 82), the spell is cast normally but
its Effect does nothing unless the Effect or its
target somehow leaves the suppressing plane for
the spell’s Duration (see Fantasy Craft page 112).
However, your GM may allow the Effect to take
place but alter it according to the plane’s laws;
check the details with your GM (or the “Planes
of Law/Chaos/Conflict” sourcebooks)
Unique Conditions: This entry lists
unique conditions that apply to the plane,
unless noted otherwise in one of plane’s layers’
description (if any). If these conditions affect
spells, use of an arcane key can negate these
conditions unless noted otherwise.
Inner Planes
Spells that employ Elements or Energies
might behave differently on various Inner Planes
(see Fantasy Craft page 112).
Starvation and Thirst: With the
absence of edible food and drink on most Inner
Chapter 7: Planes
Planes, the GM should refer to rules for
Starvation and Thirst (see Fantasy Craft page
217).
Suffocation: Except for the planes
of Air, Ice, Lightning, and Steam there is no
breathable air on Inner Planes. Rare pockets
of Air exist but the party shouldn’t rely on
them. The GM should refer to Suffocation
rules (see Fantasy Craft page 217).
Elemental Plane of Air
The Elemental Plane of Air is an
endless blue sky, with no clear up or down. It
supports life which is generally concentrated
around chunks of other elements which drift
through space carried by gentle or raging
winds. Visitors usually encounter the native

Paraelemental Plane of
Ooze
The Paraelemental Plane of Ooze is a
soup of mud, clay, and quicksand. Wizards
from the prime planes have been known to put

discovered so far.
Traits: Energy inner plane
• Ambient Light: Intense (see Fantasy Craft
page 218)

of Mineral
The Quasielemental Plane of Mineral
is a precious stone of incredible beauty,
quality and quantity. This is the place
dwarves dream of, where iron, diamonds,
rubies, silver, and gold are wrapped around
each other. Unfortunately, not much is known

Outer Planes
Pseudoelementals
Outer Planes aren’t connected to the
Inner Planes so any elemental conjured there
is formed from the current plane’s elemental
essence. This means that although physically the
same as true elementals, these pseudoelementals
have interests (Alignment) equal to their
originating plane. Also, they do not qualify as
true elementals if need arises.
Spell Crystals
Every time a summoner calls or
communicates with a being from Outer Planes
a single spell crystal is created. This whistling,
glowing crystal shoots across the plane,
unerringly seeking the summoner’s target.
Once located, it touches the target releasing the
magical energy and thus making the spell work.
Depending on the nature of spell, spell
crystals differ in shape and color. A Knowledge
(spell components) check at DC 20 can identify
its spell source.
The spell crystals are hazards to planars
and should be avoided however. Touching it
prematurely will immediately make it assume
the touched being as its target. In a case of a
summoning spell, this could mean an unwanted
trip to some other plane of existence.
The Abyss
The Abyss is a plane of infinite layers,
a pit filled with grotesque examples of all that
is wicked and bad. Besides a multitude of
extremely deadly layers (some of them on par
with worst Inner Planes) the tanar’ri call it their
home. This is the final destination of the most
depraved, hateful, debauched, and destructive
souls.
Adjacent Planes: Astral Plane (only on
Plain of Infinite Portals), Carceri, the Outlands,
Pandemonium
Example Arcane Keys: Blood, death,
destruction of pure material, drinking boiling
oil, drinking unholy oil, magic items, mixture
of caster’s and target’s blood, money, shattering
mirror, demon’s true name

is used (see page 82). Many layers have
different conditions; check the details
with your GM.

Alignment (Evil, Order).
• Diminished Wild Magic: If Sorcery (Wild
Magic) is in use, the threat and error
ranges of Spellcasting check increase by
1 and when a character scores critical
success or failure, roll 1d6-1 (minimum
0) and consult Table 7.4: Wild Magic (see
Fantasy Craft page 326).

• Unique Conditions: Magically summoned
beings obey the caster. Every spell creates
its own reflection (e.g. Cure Wounds I
creates a Cause Wounds I) in the form of
a crystal that flies away. It will take one
hour for it to find a target but if captured
before that, the Effect of the original
spell is negated.
Layers
Acheron has four layers.
Avalas (1st layer): This place, known as
the Battlefield, is filled with worlds of armies. If
there’s a place where first war was waged, this
might be it. The density of metal cubes is the
highest here.
Thuldanin (2nd layer): The metallic
blocks are hollow here, scarred and pitted by
battle, serving as great junkyards to broken war
machinery. There is a 1-in-1000 chance per day
to find something useful (roll on Table 7.13: Gear
on Fantasy Craft page 346).
Tintibulus (3rd layer): This layer is
filled with blocks of all geometric types that
fracture upon impact. This might be the best
place in the Multiverse for magical research.
Ocanthus (4th layer): Razor thin plates
that slice through darkness make this a very
dangerous place. Each round they strike as 1d3
greatswords with BAB +10 and AP 10.
Arborea
Arborea is a place where passions run
high and deep, and the plane mirrors it with
craggy mountains, deep gorges, giant forests,
and vast fields of wheat, orchards, and arbors.
This is a place for happy souls that lived in
harmony with nature and goodness.
Adjacent Planes: Astral Plane (only
Chapter 7: Planes

Arborea has three layers.
Olympus (1st layer): This layer is
dominated by Mount Olympus. It is said that
the caverns beneath lead to the lower planes.
Air (E) spells are not suppressed here.
Ossa (2nd layer): This layer is a
shallow sea, scattered with islands. Water (E)
spells are not suppressed here.
Pelion (3rd layer): This is a place of
ruins scattered among white sand and snow.
Arcadia
Arcadia is a place of peaceful order
with orderly aligned rows of trees, rivers and
paths. Natives do not know dusk or dawn for
the day abruptly changes into night. This is
the spiritual home of moralists who want to
force virtue on others. Social ideals come true
here without the moral ambiguity of “shades
of gray”.
Adjacent Planes: Astral Plane (only
on Abellio), Mechanus, Mount Celestia, the
Outlands
Example Arcane Keys: Pure material,
spring water in rectangular container
Traits: Upper outer plane with two
layers and Alignment (Good, Order).

• Unique Conditions: All spells have double
Casting Time unless an arcane key is used
(see page 82).
Layers
Arcadia has two layers. A third layer,
Menausus, slipped into Mechanus over
millennia ago and joined that plane.
Abellio (1st layer): This is a mostly flat
layer, but does contain mountains and hills at
various points. There are numerous large forests,
lakes, streams and fields.
Buxenus (2nd layer): This layer is
similar to Abellio but hosts a more militaristic
feel, with large numbers of natives congregating
in anticipation for future battles.
Baator
Baator is a mockery of Mount Celestia
where three trios of great evils rule. The plane
resembles a pit with nine distinct layers, each
worse than the one before. Visitors should
be warned that the native baatezu are most
interested in their souls. This is the spiritual
home of law-adhering selfish souls and those
who organized themselves in order to kill,
torture, or enslave.
Adjacent Planes: Acheron, Astral Plane
(only on Avernus), Gehenna, the Outlands
Example Arcane Keys: Obsidian from

Baator has nine layers, each below the
previous one.
Avernus (1st layer): The first layer is
a rocky wasteland with a red sky lit by flaming
spheres and crimson explosions. Legions of
natives march across the plains in continual
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
readiness for the next battle of the Blood War.
Earth (E) and Fire (E) spells are enhanced here
but Ice (E) and Water (E) spells are countered.
Dis (2nd layer): The second layer is a
burning city of high, black walls and narrow
streets as far as eye can see. A notable feature
is God Street, a place filled with godly realms
of various evil deities that have not earned
enough worshippers to acquire a real realm.
Fire (E) spells are enhanced here but Ice (E)
and Water (E) spells are countered.
Minauros (3rd layer): The third layer
is a bog filled with sharp volcanic rock and
dead bodies. The weather consists of acidic
rain, flesh-slicing hail, and harsh winds. Water
(E) and Weather spells are enhanced here.

layer is a world of volcanoes, fire-filled with

is a great rocky slope where cascades of rocks
fall down, crush everything on their path.
Fortresses made out of copper provide some
refuge from the avalanches. Earth (E) spells
are enhanced here.
Maladomini (7th layer): The seventh
layer is a land of ruins where new cities are
constantly being built. Deep below, there are
dungeons that even the natives fear. Earth (E)
spells are enhanced here.
Cania (8th layer): The eighth layer
is an ice coffin, a place where vast glaciers
grind and crash against the jagged mountains
sending snow and ice up in the sky. Air (E),
Ice (E), and Water (E) spells are enhanced here
but Fire (E) spells are countered.
Nessus (9th layer): The ninth layer
is a wasteland with the deepest rifts, hottest
flames, and steepest cliffs. The lake of fluid
ice is the last destination of visitors. An
incredibly deep and wide rift lies immediately
below the layer boundary between Cania
and Nessus. All spell Elements / Energies are
enhanced here.
The Beastlands
The Beastlands is a place where
animals come first, then everything else.
Inside the savage jungles, swamps, and forests
visitors can encounter interesting wild life.
248
Souls that lived simple and natural lives end
their journey here.

of time passing. Fire (E) and Light (E) spells
are enhanced here but Darkness (E) spells are
diminished.
Brux (2nd layer): This is a place of
perpetual dawn (or dusk). The sky is always
filled with half-light competing with the silver
trace of a moon.
Karasuthra (3rd layer): This is the land
of night where stars outshine the moon. Fire
(E) and Light (E) spells are diminished here but
Darkness (E) spells are enhanced.
Bytopia
Bytopia is a pair of layers filled with
mountains, streams, forests, meadows and hard-
working souls. Visitors can look up and see
the other layer through the distant haze of the
atmosphere. Good, hardworking, and civilized
souls end their journey here.
Adjacent Planes: Astral Plane (only

quarrying are the most frequent trades. All
spell Elements / Energies are enhanced here
(casters must still first use an arcane key).
Carceri
Carceri is a place of exiles, where all
those defeated and banished plot their sweet
revenge. The plane is called a six-fold realm
because its six layers are nested one inside the
other. This is the spiritual home of those that
held crime high in regard but were punished.

Agathys (6th layer): This is the
coldest layer, with half-frozen natives trapped
in black-red ice. Very low temperatures freeze
inhabitants and deal subdual damage every hour
(see Fantasy Craft page 215). Ice (E) and Water
(E) spells are enhanced here and Fire (E) spells
are diminished.
Elysium
Elysium is a place of fertile richness and
natural beauty where natives live in peaceful
repose and freedom. This is the destination of
the souls who sought always to further the cause
of good without regard to order or chaos.
Adjacent Planes: Astral Plane (only on
Amoria), the Beastlands, Bytopia
Example Arcane Keys: Abacus,
lodestone, ruler, small toys, twigs, whistles.
Traits: Upper outer plane with four
layers and Alignment (Good).
• Suppressed: Affliction, Necromancy,
Secrets, Shadow
• Unique Conditions: Magically summoned
beings are all non-natives unless an arcane
key is used (see page 82).Undead suffer 2d6
points of lethal damage per round here.
Arcane keys do not work for characters
with Evil as one of their Alignment
choices and they can never reach their
destination here.
Layers
Elysium has four layers.
Amoria (1st layer): This is an
untroubled land of meadows separated by
gentle woods. The hospitable layer closely
resembles the Prime Material Plane with many
town settlements along the banks of the River
Oceanus. It has very mild seasons, with gentle
winters and comfortable summers.
Eronia (2nd layer): This is a
mountainous place with big waterfalls and
jagged peaks. The weather is much more severe
with violent windstorms and lightning being
common. The seasons are more extreme with
bitter winters and hot summers. Weather (E)
spells are enhanced here.
Belierin (3rd layer): This is a marsh
free of pestilence and pesky insects. A few
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
settlements exist here on rocky spurs
above the level of the swamps, many with
a cathedral-like lighthouse, which directs
travelers through the mists to safety.
Thalasia (4th layer): This is a sea
dotted with small islands and undersea
realms. Here the River Oceanus starts its flow
though the other layers. Water (E) spells are
enhanced here.
Gehenna
Gehenna is a void filled with four
great volcanoes, shuddered only by vicious
eruptions. The volcanoes are connected at the
base. This is the spiritual home of those that
value ends over means and exploitation of
others more than themselves.
Adjacent Planes: Astral Plane (only
on Khalas), Baator, the Gray Waste, the
Outlands
Example Arcane Keys: Skull of
a someone slain in anger, warm obsidian,
yagnaloth’s fingerbone
Traits: Lower outer plane with four
layers and Alignment (Evil, Order).
• Diminished: Charm, Healing, Nature
• Enhanced: Affliction, Energy, Force,
Necromancy, Shadow, Weather
• Suppressed: Artifice, Blessing,
Divination , Foresight, Word
• Unique Conditions: Magically
summoned beings are all natives
although they are under the caster’s
control for the spell’s Duration.
An arcane key enables the caster to
summon non-natives but they are not
under his control.
Layers
Gehenna has four layers, each a
volcano drifting in the void.
Khalas (1st layer): This is the
gentlest of four furnaces. Here visitors
can see Chamada far in the distance,
resembling a bloody moon. Unprotected
inhabitants and objects take 1d2 points of
fire damage each round. Fire (E) and Earth
(E) spells are enhanced here.
Chamada (2nd layer): This is
a savage place where the orange glow of
magma blots out the sky. The poisonous air
is pushed before the rivers of lava that fall
down the slopes. Unprotected inhabitants
and objects take 1d6 points of fire damage
each round. Fire (E) and Earth (E) spells
are enhanced here but Water (E) spells are
countered.
250
 Mungoth (3rd layer): This is a place
where ash and acidic snow form dangerous
avalanches. Unprotected inhabitants and
objects take 1d3 points of acid damage
each minute. Fire (E) and Earth (E) spells
are enhanced here but Water (E) spells are
countered.
Krangath (4th layer): This is a dead
volcano, a place where everything is silent
and dead. Natives dwell beneath the frozen
surface, hoping to warm themselves lower.
Very low temperatures freeze inhabitants
and deal subdual damage every hour (see
Fantasy Craft page 215). Air (E) and Water (E)
spells are enhanced here but Fire (E) spells are
countered.
The Gray Waste
Gray Waste is a land where evil is so
great that colors fade into gray shades. This
doesn’t seem to bother fiends which wage
Blood War here. Natives are lost, living in
eternal despair seeking but never finding sun
and the stars. This is the spiritual home of
utterly vicious and devoid of all love, those that
appeal to others through vanity, lust, greed, and
cynicism.
Adjacent Planes: Astral Plane (only on
Oinos), Carceri, Gehenna, the Outlands
Example Arcane Keys: Small mirror,
stone plucked from the petitioner’s mouth
Traits: Lower outer plane with three
layers and Alignment (Evil).
• Countered: Color-based magic (e.g. Color
Spray)
• Enhanced: Affliction, Necromancy,
Shadow
• Suppressed: Artifice, Blessing, Charm,
Divination, Foresight, Healing, Nature,
Word
• Unique Conditions: Once per week,
inhabitants must succeed at a Will
save (DC 15) or be overcome with
despair and no desire to leave. Unless
saved by others, they turn into larvae
in 1d6 months. Summoning spells can
bring beings of any XP value but only
from the first layer. Summoned beings
remain under the caster’s control for the
spell’s Duration. An arcane key (see page
82) enables the caster to summon beings
on any layer but with the XP value limit
listed in the spell’s description and the
being will not be under the caster’s
control.
Chapter 7: Planes
Layers
The Gray Waste has three layers.
Oinos (1st layer): This is a place of
stunted trees and virulent disease. A 20 mile
high citadel is found here. Compass spells are
countered.
Niflheim (2nd layer): This place is
free of the disease that sweeps over Oinos.
Thick mist hangs around tall pines. Compass
spells have 75% chance to be countered.
Pluton (3rd layer): This is a contrast
of Mount Olympus, a world where fallen
tyrants and vain heroes end their journeys.
Compass spells have 75% chance to be
countered.
Limbo
Limbo is a soup of everything and
anything found on the planes. The constant
motion and change affects everything,
especially the landscape, which can shift
unpredictably and randomly rolls over upon
itself like liquid.
A few places in Limbo are stable
enough for normal travel. This is the spiritual
home of creative souls, those that prized self-
expression and freedom above all.
Adjacent Planes: Astral Plane,
Pandemonium, the Outlands, Ysgard
Example Arcane Keys: Balancing
dagger, blown smoke ring, dissolving salt,
risky destruction, spinning coin. The arcane
keys always change here.
Traits: Middle outer plane with one or
more layers and Alignment (Chaos).
• Enhanced: Air (E), Darkness (E),
Earth (E), Fire (E), Ice (E), Light (E),
Lightning (E), Silence (E), Sonic (E),
Water (E)
• Unique Conditions: All spells require
two successful Spellcasting checks
unless an arcane key is used (see page
82). If one of them fails, a wild magic
surge occurs (see Fantasy Craft page
326). Critical success or critical failure
require only one check to occur
though. Shaping Limbo’s environment
into a safe zone requires a successful
Concentrate check and a full-round
action thereafter to maintain it. Refer
to the Table 7.2: Limbo’s Terrain
Maintenance to determine area
and type of environment generated.
The DC may vary depending on the
current conditions; check the details
with your GM. If inhabitants find
themselves inside an elemental zone,
251
 refer to conditions of that Elemental
Plane above. Outside of any elemental
zone, the raw chaos matter deals 1d6
points of aligned (Chaos) subdual
damage per round. There is a 10%
chance that each Illusion spell cast
becomes real.
• Wild Magic: The Sorcery (Wild Magic)
campaign quality is in effect all the time
on Limbo (see Fantasy Craft page 326).
Layers
Sages cannot agree on a number of
Limbo’s layers but if there are more than one,
then they all look the same.
Mechanus
Mechanus is a place of giant cogs that
hover at all angles. They turn in the rhythm
of cosmic heartbeat, being dead yet alive at
the same time. The largest cogs turn so slowly
that the rotation is almost undetectable. This
is the spiritual home of those who justified
their existence through the laws of nature and
those that could normally function only under
authority and organization.
Adjacent Planes: Acheron, Arcadia,
Astral Plane, the Outlands
Example Arcane Keys: One-twelfth of a
cog marked with spell school’s sigil
Traits: Middle outer plane with one layer
and Alignment (Order).
Table 7.2: Limbo’s Terrain Maintenance
Intelligence score* Terrain radius
1-4 10 ft. per attribute point
5-10 30 ft. per attribute point
11-18 300 ft per attribute point
19+ 1 mile per attribute point
* NPCs with chaos shaper (see page 140) use Wisdom score when unconscious or not
concentrating
• Countered: Illusion, Secrets, Shapeshifting
• Countered Wild Magic: If Sorcery (Wild
Magic) is in use, it doesn’t work on this
plane.
• Suppressed: Affliction, Air (E), Darkness
(E), Earth (E), Fire (E), Healing, Ice (E),
Light (E), Lightning (E), Necromancy,
Shadow, Silence (E), Sonic (E), Water (E)
• Unique Conditions: Magically summoned
NPCs with Alignment (Order) are under
caster’s control for the spell’s Duration.
Artifice, Blessing, Divination, Foresight,
and Word spells cast by a caster with
Alignment (Chaos) are countered unless
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
an arcane key is used (see page 82). Water-
breathing NPCs don’t require water
for sustenance. All talking NPCs
understand each other.
Layers
Mechanus has no layers but the best
know realm is Regulus which is supervised by
modrons, bizarre creatures grouped by strict
hierarchy.
Mount Celestia
Mount Celestia is a place of holy
goodness, a mountain which represents
the ascent of one’s soul towards the golden
radiance of mercy. This is the safest of all
places in the multiverse.
Adjacent Planes: Arcadia, Astral
Plane (only on Lunia), Bytopia, the Outlands
Example Arcane Keys: Metal bowls,
metal hearts, metal stars
Traits: Upper outer plane with three
layers and Alignment (Good, Order).
• Countered: Illusion
• Diminished Wild Magic: If Sorcery (Wild
Magic) is in use, the threat and error
ranges of Spellcasting check increase
by 1 and when a character scores
critical success or failure, roll 1d6-1
(minimum 0) and consult Table 7.4:
Wild Magic (see Fantasy Craft page
326).
Terrain type
Simple (e.g. meadows)
Complex (e.g. hills, streams, trees)
Artificial (e.g. buildings, streets)
Includes native life forms
252
 • Enhanced: Healing
• Suppressed: Affliction, Air (E), Artifice,
Blessing, Darkness (E), Divination, Earth
(E), Fire (E), Foresight, Ice (E), Light
(E), Lightning (E), Necromancy, Shadow,
Silence (E), Sonic (E), Water (E), Word
• Unique Conditions: Spellcasting check
error ranges for casters whose Alignment
choices do not consist of both Order
and Good increase by 4. Magically
summoned beings obey casters unless
the caster’s Alignment choices consist of
Chaos or Evil.
Layers
Mount Celestia has seven layers, one
above the other.
Lunia (1st layer): This is the Silver
Heaven, an innocent land of gentlest summer
night filled with stars and moonlight. The
lowest layer is surrounded by vast Silver Sea of
holy water and shining cities of white stone.
Mercuria (2nd layer): This is the
Golden Heaven, a place where glistening castles
are filled with winged natives - the archons. A
mysterious golden light permeates everything
here. The layer is also known for its great tombs
and monuments to noble warriors who now rest
on this layer.
Venya (3rd layer): This is the Pearly
Heaven, a lush and fertile land of meadows
and moors, although somewhat colder than the
previous two.
Solania (4th layer): This is the Electrum
Heaven, a land rugged with canyons and
crashing rivers and monasteries and magnificent
cathedrals along the high paths. Many of the
slopes are rich with ore and minerals.
Mertion (5th layer): This is the
Platinum Heaven where sky burns bright
above the huge fortresses. It is said that the
natives were all paladins in their former lives.
Undead suffer 1d6 points of lethal damage
per round here.
Jovar (6th layer): This is the
Glittering Realm where sky and hills glow
with the sparkling fire of colorful gems.
Chronias (7th layer): This is the
Illuminated Heaven where the goodness takes
action against all its visitors depending on
the choices they made so far. There is no real
account or description of this layer, as no one
that has entered has ever returned.
The Outlands
The Outlands is a central plane,
the one that touches all other planes. An
infinitely high spire is in the center, above
which floats the city of Sigil. The land,
varied with prairies, towering mountains and
shallow, twisting rivers, is wild and scarcely
populated. Souls that maintained status quo
in their lives end their journey here.
Adjacent Planes: Astral Plane, all
Outer Planes
Example Arcane Keys: Gem, glowing
stone, live or dead insect, razorvine leaf
Traits: Middle outer plane with one
layer and no Alignment.

Chapter 7: Planes 253

 • Suppressed: Affliction, Air (E), Darkness
(E), Earth (E), Fire (E), Healing, Ice (E),
Light (E), Lightning (E), Necromancy,
Shadow, Silence (E), Sonic (E),
Water (E). Artifice, Blessing, Calling,
Divination, Foresight, and Word are only
suppressed if they access the Inner Planes.
• Unique Conditions: Refer to Table 7.3:
Magic on the Outlands for spell and
other effects depending on the layer.
Layers
The Outlands has 10 layers (e.g. rings)
seamlessly connected into a single land.
Pandemonium
Pandemonium is the least hospitable to
visitor’s sanity. The twisting, infinite complex
of caverns is filled with blasting screams and
howling winds. This is the spiritual world of
lawless madmen that cared nothing for the
wellbeing of others.
Adjacent Planes: The Abyss, Astral
Plane (only on Pandesmos), Limbo, the
Outlands
Example Arcane Keys: Stone flutes,
stone jugs, stone whistles
Traits: Lower outer plane with four
layers and Alignment (Chaos, Evil).
• Ambient Light: None (see Fantasy Craft page
218)
• Ambient Noise: Extreme (see Fantasy Craft
page 218)
• Enhanced Wild Magic: If Sorcery (Wild
Magic) is in use, the threat and error
ranges of Spellcasting check increase by
3 and when a character scores critical
success or failure, roll 1d6+1 (if 7, roll
again and apply both results) and consult
Table 7.4: Wild Magic (see Fantasy Craft
page 326).
• Suppressed: Artifice, Blessing, Divination,
Fire (E), Foresight, Healing, Light (E),
Silence (E), Sonic (E), Word
• Unique Conditions: Actions that require
concentration fail due to winds unless
inhabitants succeed at a Concentrate
check (DC 20). The GM may spend
action dice to increase the wind’s
strength where appropriate (see Fantasy
Craft page 369). If exposed to the
howling winds, inhabitants suffer 4d6
points of stress damage and 4d6 points
of bang damage per hour. If they lose
consciousness due to this damage, they
act as if under the effect of Insanity I
spell (see Fantasy Craft page 134) from
Planescraft (First PLAYTEST)
that point on. This condition can be
cured only by Blessed Forgetfulness (see
page 62) or Wish III spells.
Layers
Pandemonium has four layers.
Pandesmos (1st layer): This is a
complex of large caverns and tunnels where
powerful winds test everyone they encounter.
The river Styx starts its flow here through the
Lower Planes.
Cocytus (2nd layer): This is a place
of narrower tunnels but the wind is even
worse, breaking even the strongest minds.
Phlegethion (3rd layer): This is a
realm of dark where rocks absorb light and
heat. Visitors orient themselves by the sound
of dripping water.
Agathion (4th layer): This is a place
where no tunnels exist, but only separate
closed-off spaces with stale air and vacuum.
Entry to these pocket areas sounds impossible
with each space having one portal in and out
and some no portals at all.
Ysgard
Ysgard is a void where rivers of earth
carry “earthbergs” with them, continent-sized
chunks of stone. Natives love to clash blades
for there is nothing more glorious than to fall
in the battle like a hero. This is the spiritual
home of rowdy, generally good-natured types
who valued physical prowess and good times
above all.
Adjacent Planes: Astral Plane (only
on Ysgard, the 1st layer), the Beastlands, the
Outlands, Ysgard
Example Arcane Keys: Kennings,
runes
Traits: Upper outer plane with three
layers and Alignment (Chaos, Good).
• Countered: Weather
• Enhanced: Artifice, Blessing, Divination,
Foresight, Word
• Enhanced Wild Magic: If Sorcery (Wild
Magic) is in use, the threat and error
ranges of Spellcasting check increase
by 3 and when a character scores
critical success or failure, roll 1d6+1
(if 7, roll again and apply both results)
and consult Table 7.4: Wild Magic (see
Fantasy Craft page 326).
• Suppressed: Affliction, Air (E),
Compass, Conversion, Creation,
Darkness (E), Earth (E), Fire (E),
Healing, Ice (E), Light (E), Lightning
(E), Necromancy, Shadow, Silence (E),
254
 Sonic (E), Water (E)
• Unique Conditions: Magically summoned
beings are all natives unless an arcane key
is used (see page 82).
Layers
Ysgard has three layers.
Ysgard (1st layer): This is a place where
the top of Ygdrassil the world Ash is located.
The underside of the earthbergs burns with fire
and molten rock.
Musppelheim (2nd layer): This is a
place where the “earthbergs” are turned upside
down and the land burns with hot flame. Fire
(E) spells are not suppressed here.
Nidavellir (3rd layer): This is a
subterranean place where rivers are very close
one to another and because of this, the layout of
the caverns changes quickly.
Prime Material Plane
There is only one Prime Material Plane,
which contains many different worlds filled
with humans, pechs, drakes, elves, dwarves,
and others. Those persons coming to the other
planes of existence from the Prime are referred
to as “primes” themselves. They are often
treated as “clueless” and inferior by the planar
elitists.
Adjacent Planes: Ethereal and Astral
Plane
Example Arcane Keys: None.
Traits: Prime Material Plane
Transitive Planes
Astral Plane
The Astral Plane is an endless silvery sky
which connects the Prime Material Plane with
the Outer Planes. On this plane of thought,
occasional bits of solid matter can be found,
such as a dead god’s petrified body. This plane
acts as a museum of the multiverse, housing
discarded ideals and ideologies. Those that are
intellectually strong are most comfortable here
of all the planes.
Adjacent Planes: The Prime Material,
all Outer Planes (only on 1st layer)
Example Arcane Keys: Mental exercises,
states of mind
Traits: Transitive plane
• Diminished: Blessing, Calling, Foresight,
Illusion, Secrets, Shapeshifting
• Enhanced Wild Magic: If Sorcery (Wild
Magic) is in use, the threat and error
ranges of Spellcasting check increase by
Chapter 7: Planes
3 and when a character scores critical
success or failure, roll 1d6+1 (if 7,
roll again and apply both results) and
consult Table 7.4: Wild Magic (see
Fantasy Craft page 326).
• Suppressed: Air (E), Compass,
Conversion, Creation, Darkness (E),
Earth (E), Fire (E), Ice (E), Light (E),
Lightning (E), Shadow, Silence (E),
Sonic (E), Water (E)
• Unique Conditions: Living creatures
don’t need to breathe and require
only 1 common meal per day. Their
attribute scores are substituted as
follows: Strength with Intelligence and
Dexterity with Wisdom. Their Base
Speed becomes 30 feet per Intelligence
score and non-natives take a -2
penalty on attack rolls and the attack
roll error ranges increase by 2. Hurled
and Ranged weapon range increments
are doubled. Magic items with Charm:
(Greater) Storage do not function.
Everything radiates magic, Casting
Time cannot exceed 1 full round, and
Area is increased by 50%. Nothing
ages or decays because time doesn’t
pass here. However, once a character
abandons the Astral Plane, time
catches up with him (20-year-old that
spend 50 years on the Astral would
become a 70-year-old once he leaves.)
Ethereal Plane
The Ethereal Plane envelops all Inner
Planes and connects them to the Prime
Material. This deep ocean of mist is made of
boundless possibilities where dreams might
become real. The Prime Material is visible
from the Ethereal Plane, but it appears fuzzy,
muted and indistinct, its colors blurring into
each other.
Adjacent Planes: The Prime Material,
all Inner Planes
Example Arcane Keys: Small disks of
stable protomatter
Traits: Transitive plane
• Ambient Light: Dim (see Fantasy Craft
page 218)
• Countered: Artifice, Divination, Word
• Diminished: Glory, Seals, Warding
• Enhanced: Illusion, Secrets,
Shapeshifting
• Suppressed: Blessing, Calling, Earth (E),
Foresight, Water (E)
• Unique Conditions: Created matter is
virtually weightless and there is a 5%
255
 chance that Illusion spells become real.
If an arcane key is used, all spells increase
their Casting Time by an additional half-
action.

as the inhabitants, architecture, and terrain of

via astral spell. Since it involves little physical
risk on the prime’s part, it’s often considered

prime hasn’t even deigned to come to the planes
with his actual body). The term “cord babies” is
also used, though less frequently.
