Magic Book

The Monsters MR also serves

as its CON score, noting how
much damage a creature can
take. This monster would have
an effective CON of 19, thus
being able to withstand 19
points of damage before falling.
Damage is taken directly off a
creatures MR, reducing the
number of Adds it gets in combat.

The following is a sourcebook

of fearsome foes and fabulous
finds for dungeon delvers using
the Tunnels & Trolls 7th Edition
rules.

MONSTER RATING
As noted in the main rulebook,
most monsters are given a
Monster Rating (MR), which
determines how many dice and
adds they have in combat, as
well as their CON score and
WIZ score.

The Monster has a WIZ score

equal to its MR/10, rounded up.
This monster would have a WIZ
score of 2, and thus be unaffected by spells cast by wizards
with a WIZ score less than 2.

Combat Dice + Adds = (MR / 10)

+1 dice (round down!) plus
(MR /2) adds (round up!)

Remember, WIZ and Adds for

monsters will be changing during combat they are based on
the CURRENT MR.

So, an MR 19 monster gets 2

dice + 11 adds (19/10 +1 = 2
dice) (19/2 = 11 adds). The
number of dice never changes,
but the number of Adds does,
based on the monsters current
MR.

SPECIAL DAMAGE
The default form of Special
Damage is Spite Damage, dealing one point of damage for
every 6 rolled during combat.
However, alternate forms of

special damage can be used, if

the GM so chooses. Each form
of Special Damage comes with a
trigger that must be activated
during the combat roll. The
triggers are based on a number
of 6s rolled in combat, noted
thusly:

3/Call Flame = For every three 6s

that are rolled by the monster in
combat, one Call Flame spell is
conjured forth, targeting its
closest opponent.
4/Oh Go Away = If four 6s come
up in the combat roll, an Oh Go
Away spell is cast upon the
closest opponent.

1/ = the Special Damage is dealt

with each 6 rolled in combat,
much like Spite Damage.
2/ = The Special Damage is activated for every pair of 6s rolled
in combat.
3/ = The Special Damage is activated for every three sixes
rolled in combat.
4/ = The Special Damage is activated for every four sixes rolled
in combat
and so on.

All spells are assumed cast at

the lowest level, and cost the
creature no kremm to invoke.
As with Spite Damage, all
Special Damage is dealt directly
to the targets CON (or MR)
despite armor protection.

OTHER SPECIAL ABILITIES

Other Special Abilities can be
given to creatures at the GMs
discretion. A tough hide or
scales that absorb hits like
armor can be added. A high IQ
and WIZ may allow some monsters to cast spells. Some
monsters may be under the
influence of constant spells
like Cateyes or Little Feets.
Again, these abilities are natural

Special Damage examples:

1/1 Spite Damage, the default.
For every 6 rolled, one point of
damage is dealt.
1/2 = Severe Spite Damage. For
every 6 rolled, two points of
damage are dealt.

tional T&T. For this reason,

youll have to adjust the MRs
for monsters encountered. To
provide acceptable challenges
for your group, the following
MRs should be used for a standard 3-person party (add 1/3rd
for each additional character,
subtract 1/3rd for smaller
groups).
Adjusting Special Damage triggers reduce the number of
sixes needed to trigger the special damage by 1/3rd.

BALANCING ENCOUNTERS
From a game perspective, the
Monster Ratings here are
designed with a 4-person delving team in mind. If your
players have assembled a smaller crew, you may want to adjust
the MR for monsters they
encounter. If you have 3 players, multiply the MR by . If
you have 2 players, multiply it
by , and for one player, multiply it by .
Similarly, if you have larger
groups, you can increase the
MR appropriately. For 5 players, multiply by 5/4. For 6
players, multiply by 3/2, and so
on.

GUILDS AND
MAGIC ITEMS
What do old wizards do when
they tire of adventuring, or get
so injured or cowardly that they
cannot continue? Why, they
open up a shop, of course, or
become teachers for young wizards. The Wizards Guild and
the other Trollworld guilds
always need wizards to enchant
their merchandise and sell
knick-knackery to the hoi polloi.

WANDS AND STAVES

Wizards have many kinds of
tools, usually designed to save
kremm or to channel it more
effectively. This section lists a
few of those items that are commonly available from the
Wizards Guild.
Wizards may use a focusing
device such as a staff, a wand, a
ring, or the like to channel their
thoughts and reduce the cost of
a spell. A 1st-level wizard
reduces the spell cost by 1
point, second level gets 2
points off, third level gets 3
points off, and so forth. Thus,
you would think that a 10th
level wizard could cast all first
level spells for free, but there is
a limiting factor. No spell will
take effect unless one whole
point of magical energy is
poured into it. In fact, it is that
minimum amount of energy
needed to energize any spell
that defines what a point of

Virtually every city and town in

Trollworld has offices of the
various guilds available to the
public. These guild offices all
have guild shops. And these
shops all sell items to the public, thus earning the vast sums
of money it takes to keep such
organizations going. There are
even some guild shops in
notable dungeons and trackless
wastes. (Wherever the GM
would like to establish such a
place of business is a good place
for it.) The dwarf god
Gristlegrim maintains such an
establishment in the camp of

is sentient, and it learns and

remembers all spells cast
through it. It is also indestructible to anything below 14th-level
magic. Deluxe staffs have an
INT attribute 1 point lower than
the INT of the Wizard to whom
it is tied. As that wizards INT
increases or decreases, so does
the staffs. In the event that the
Wizard is slain and the staff
passes into the keeping of
another Wizard, the staff will
retain the INT it had when its
first master died. If the new
master has an INT lower than
that of the staff, the staff may
seize control of the Wizards
mind and use him or her as a
kremm battery, behaving in what
is generally a destructive and
evil manner (as played by the
GM it is a demon, after all).
Because of its indestructibility
and extreme hardness, a deluxe
staff gets 4D6 in combat.

These wands reduce the casting
cost of a spell by 1 point, plus
an additional 1 point for each

3rd-level Wizard casting a 1stlevel TTYF through his wand
would pay only 1 point of WIZ

higher than the spell). These

POTIONS
Most spells can be infused into
potions. Any liquid base may
be used: water, juice, milk,
liquor, or even blood. Evil
types really like to use blood as
the basis for the potion. More
civilized types prefer brandy
while specialists prefer various
herbal teas. The Wizards Guild
sells two versions of their
potionsone in sweetened

warriors guild uses brandy and
blood for their potions. The
Thieves Guild just uses blood.
The Merchants Guild uses half
a dozen varieties of booze. The
Healers Guild uses chicken
soup as a basis for everything.

it on any lock, and the lock will

The formula for determining

the cost of a potion is 100 times
the number of spell points put
into the potion times the level
of the casting. No allowance is
made for higher level wizards
creating lower level potions and
getting the spell done at a
reduced cost.

The standard potion comes

with only one dose. Drink or
use the whole thing to get the
rated effect. If you only use
part of a potion, you will not
cross the threshold necessary to
activate the magic, and so you
wasted it. Potions may come in
containers of different sizesas
small as a shot glass, or as large
as a bucket. You still gotta
drink it all, or splash it all on
the target, to get the desired
effect.

dose of the potion will heal one

be purchased in containers

desired result.

one-quarter of the cost a Wizard
would pay to purchase the spell
(250 gp x Spell Level).

Booster Juice (7,200 gp). There

are really 8 different flavors of
this drink, one for each attribute. The drinker will double
the chosen attribute for 50 min.
After that he spends another 50
min. with the attribute halved.

OTHER ITEMS
For a reasonable fee, the
Wizards Guild is willing to
provide virtually any kind of
magic item that you may desire.
The Game Master has to provide these services. How much
it costs should depend on the
complexity of the object and the
amount of magic it would take
to produce it.
The lists of wizardly tools,
enchanted items, and magical
potions could be very long
indeed. Virtually every spell in
the spellbook can be turned into

20

cal power. You can always tell

these items because they come
with a limited number of uses
(or charges).

An enchanted item is one that

has two spells on it: One to
leech kremm from the wearer
or user, and the other to produce an effect of some kind
using that kremm. These are
the typical magic items found in
dungeons and sold in shops.
They are not single-use items,
but can be used over and over.
Buying an enchanted vorpal
sword would mean your combat total is always doubled, but
your WIZ attribute would
always be reduced by 6 points
for each use. Typical costs for
such items are the base cost of
the item plus half the cost of the
spell (500 gp x Spell Level). In
our example, 200 gp for the
sword and 500 gp for the
enchantment of the Vorpal
Blade, for a total of 700 gp.
Note: Enchanted items temporarily lose their enchantment
when the users kremm gets too
low.

A truly magical item comes

with at least two enchantments: One that produces each
spell or effect for which the
item is designed, and the other
to absorb the necessary kremm
from the planet itself to power
its spell(s) or effect(s). Such
magical artifacts never lose their
power, and do not reduce the
WIZ attribute of their wielder.
This is the best type, and they
are both rare and very expensive (at least 8,000 + 1,000 gp
per Spell Level).

WEAPONS
A bespelled Vorpal weapon
does double the basic dice roll
in combat and costs 250 gp plus
the cost of the weapon. All daggers and swords can be
Vorpalled. The spell is triggered on the next use of the
weapon. For an additional 100
gp, a trigger command can be
added, allowing the spell to be
saved until activated by the

wielder. Tridents, spears, axes,

maces, bows, crossbows,
polearms and hafted weapons
cannot be vorpalled.

For example, a 200 gp gold ring

is turned into a magical ring of
invisibility:

An enchanted Vorpal weapon

also does double dice in combat
and costs 500 gp plus the cost of
the weapon. It uses the WIZ
score of the wielder to activate,
and drains the appropriate
amount of kremm per use.

Ring of Invisibility (10,200 gp).

A gold ring set with a starshaped diamond. Wearing it
will cause the wearer to become
invisibleexactly as if he were
in a Hidey Hole spell.

Magical Vorpal blades do double dice damage and cost 9,000

gp plus the cost of the weapon.
These require no kremm from
the wielder, and always remain
active.

Magic Target Shield (16,035

gp). A target shield with a
Zaparmor bonus, absorbs 12
hits per combat round.

Similarly, weapons can be

Whammied (tripling the dice in
combat) for the cost of the
weapon plus the cost of the
magic (bespelled for 500 gp.,
enchanted for 1,000 gp, magical
for 10,000 gp).

formula as weapons: Cost of the
