GUIDELINES FOR LEGION OF DOOM TROOPS -Varigated from...


...The Evil Henchman's Guide

    1. Before performing guard duty, familiarize yourself with the sound of a tossed pebble, and learn to avoid being distracted by it.
    2. When performing guard duty, do not stare continually in one direction, but take a moment now and then to look around.
    3. And while you're pulling guard duty, if anyone shows up with a prisoner transfer or maintenance job, and you don't know about it, arrest them on the spot.
    4. When you are fighting intruders, do not fight them quietly, but yell "Intruder!" while you still have breath.
    5. When issued armor or uniforms that contrast with the service environment, respectfully inquire after more sensibly-colored attire.
    6. Get plenty of missile-weapon practice.
    7. Don't attack the hero alone or in pairs. The Evil Overlord hired a million of you for a reason.
    8. Learn how to lead from the rear and command from afar, just like the Evil Overlord does.
    9. Exercise care in the abuse of oppressed peoples. Many farm implements make effective weapons in the hands of a skilled opponent. Some of those little old men can teach you a thing or two about hand-to-hand, too. And it would be just your luck for the villager you pick on to actually be the Hero masquerading as one of the villagers.
    10. Test your armor's ability to stop a minimum of one sword thrust, and if it does not give at least this much protection, respectfully inquire after more.
    11. Make sure that your headgear allows for a useful field of vision.
    12. Remember that if the Hero and/or his comrades are being purposefully allowed to escape, there is no need for you to get killed in your effort to "prevent" the escape.
    13. If a prisoner suddenly takes ill, notify the Evil Overlord and await his instructions. Do not go into the cell to examine him/her yourself.
    14. If you're on patrol and your partner mysteriously disappears, call for backup before you go look for him.
    15. If your unit's name contains words like "Imperial", "Elite", "Supreme", "Tactical", "Storm" or "Special", request a transfer as soon as possible. These guys always get clobbered first when the Heroes attack.

Gnolls in Dungeons & Dragons

Image
Gnoll flind Physical description In the Dungeons & Dragons fantasy role-playing game , gnolls greatly resemble hyenas [1] . They are usually between seven and eight feet tall, weighing around 250 to 320 pounds, [2] and use armor made of horn, metal, or leather [1] . Gnolls are generally depicted in the game world as feral nomads who kill and pillage without warning [3] . Their whole bodies are covered in reddish-brown fur which becomes shorter as it surrounds their faces and clawed hands to reveal grey colored skin. Their pelts vary from mono-colored to spotted and their eyes are either yellow or black. Subraces Within the context of the Dungeons & Dragons game, one notable subrace of gnoll is the flind (alternately spelled flynd ), which is shorter, broader, and stronger than other gnolls [4] ; flinds are often found leading a tribe or settlement of gnolls [4] . Flinds use a nunchaku -like weapon called a flindbar , which consists of a pair of metal rods linked t

Frost Giants - Heavy Support

A frost giant’s hair can be light blue or dirty yellow, and its eyes usually match its hair color. Frost giants dress in skins and pelts, along with any jewelry they own. Frost giant warriors add chain shirts and metal helmets decorated with horns or feathers. An adult male is about 15 feet tall and weighs about 2,800 pounds. Females are slightly shorter and lighter, but otherwise identical with males. Frost giants can live to be 250 years old. Combat Frost giants usually start combat at a distance, throwing rocks until they run out of ammunition or the opponent closes, then wading in with their enormous battleaxes. A favorite tactic is to lay an ambush by hiding buried in the snow at the top of an icy or snowy slope, where opponents will have difficulty reaching them. Rock Throwing (Ex) The range increment is 120 feet for a frost giant’s thrown rocks. Frost Giant Characters Many groups of frost giants include clerics. A frost giant cleric has access to two of the following dom

ORCS: THE BAD GUYS OF J.R.R. TOLKIEN'S MIDDLE EARTH

Image
I started doing historical reenacting in 1980, and have been involved in the Middle Ages, the American Revolution, the English Civil War, Roman (very intensely since 1991), Ancient Greek, and a couple other things on the side. (See links at bottom of page for evidence.) And now I want to be an ORC! Well, not really BE one, just assemble all the clothing and gear, an "impression", as we say in reenacting. It's only fair, since Tolkien was a big part of the reason I got into reenacting in the first place. So it's kind of like coming home again! Actually, I will be doing at least two impressions for starters. The Uruk-hai were always my heroes, and I loved the ones in the movie. But they do not match Tolkien's admittedly vague descriptions in the books. So, thought I, Do both! With my usual dedication to accuracy, I am attempting to recreate an Uruk-hai based closely on the movie, and an entirely different outfit following the books . Along the
