For over four decades, Rolemaster has been the definitive fantasy role-playing game that combines realism and depth without sacrificing playability. Rolemaster Unified is the next evolution drawing upon the best elements of previous editions to create a streamlined and consistent game. Rolemaster Creature Law I provides the creatures and monsters that players will encounter and oppose.
This first volume of Creature Law offers well over 400 creatures, created with the same fundamentals as characters, but streamlined with the use of archetypes. Creature Law I details for each their abilities, skills, and stats in the same terms as characters, with the addition of 225 new talents and flaws reflecting creature abilities and weaknesses, including fiery breath, petrifying gaze attacks, acid coatings, ink glands, extra limbs, shapechanging, echolocation, presence senses and many more.
Imperil the player-characters with the very real threats of tigers and sharks, or surprise them with dinosaurs believed extinct or unearthly animals such as the jackalope. These dangers pale against the greater capabilities of griffins, minotaurs, demon whales, unicorns and other legendary monsters. Encounters with dragons and their lesser fell kin of wyverns, lesser drakes, hydras and basilisks will shape epic sagas. A variety of animated, poisonous and entrapping plants will pose other sorts of challenges for even the most experienced adventurer. Artificial creations, whether construct, golem, gargoyle or the incredibly fast Shards, may prove implacable foes. Elementals and elementally infused creatures such as the destructive zephyr hounds claim the heart of the wilds as their own. Heroes may pit their blades and magic against djinn and demons from other planes. Fey from the diminutive pysks and sylphs to pookas and undines can be uncanny opponents, while garks, giants, centaurs and many others may be deadly rivals. And from beyond the grave, the unquiet dead - skeletons, ghosts, ghouls, wraiths and vampires – seek sustenance and vengeance from the living.
Finally for the gamemaster who wants to let the dice suggest the next challenge, Creature Law I offers encounter tables for each biome, plus encounters for underground, urban, and farmland locations, and easy-to-use indexes of creatures, talents, and tables.
