Just for fun I have written up for the holidays. It is both a monster and an NPC (2 versions). For DT&T I have written a variation on Santa Claus (now CLAWS) which is now an amalgam of Santa and Wolverine. Note: the artwork is mine. Without further adieu, here they are:
Santa Claws –
Monster version (Golem): MR: 120, special attack: Claws are armor piercing and armor hits are halved for all damage done. Armor: 10
Note: Gives a hearty battle cry of “Ho, ho, ho, ho!!!”
NPC
Level 3 warrior and tavern owner
Name: Loghien
Kindred: elf…errr: golem
Str: 20
Con: 35
Dex: 30
Int: 16
LK : 12
Spd: 30
Wiz: 22
Cha: 12
Adds: +24
Combat stats: Dual wielded claws 12+
Golem powers:
• Retractable Claws: Has a permanent vorpal spell placed on them (by a Level 25 Wizard, so it’s very difficult to dispel). And the claws are made from a stange and nearly unbreakable metal.
• Healing/body regeneration (self only) 2d6 CON/turn (the golem body magically repairs itself)
• Robot armor: 10 pts
• Automaton: Immune to poison, doesn’t need to sleep, doesn’t need to eat/drink, etc.
-permanent Wink wing spell/ability: only to travel up and down through chimneys
Talents : Bar keeping, gossip/local news, naughty or nice discernment
Background: Loghien was once an elven warrior and delver. One fateful day he and some other delvers entered the tomb of a high level wizard. The wizard was long dead but a pair of santa claws golems came to life to protect the tomb. In the ensuing battle something went terribly awry. The party’s wizard cast a spell that reacted strangely with a ward in the tomb which became friendly fire and blasted Loghien. As a result, Loghien perished, but somehow his consciousness was transferred into one of the santa claws golems. The party was able to best the golems but Loghien’s consciousness was permanently lodged in the golem. For awhile, the golem body kept up the "ho, ho, ho" laughing and he party joked that Loghien was a right jolly old elf. He was not amused. He took his share of the booty and opened his own tavern and called it “The Illuminated Caribou”. He can often be found in the tavern, tending the bar and interacting with customers. Though he is often possessed of grumpy demeanor, he is actually an excellent source of local news, potential jobs and is a very good listener.
Appearance: 5’8” tall, dressed in a crimson snow suit, snow white whiskers/beard, and a surly expression on his face. For the record, he may formerly have been an elf, and is indeed quite old, but he is certainly not a “right jolly” one.
Note: Loghien is offered as a colorful, and festive, NPC bar keeper for PC’s to interact with before and after a mission. But he could equally be a blacksmith, the owner of a general store, or whatever the GM would like to use him for.
