THE PENUMBRA
Some say he's a fallen paladin, others that
he is a paladin with a special dispensation, still others he's an
avenging spirit of some sort. Nobody knows. Clad all in black clothes
with a black floppy hat and black cape, he comes and goes like the
night. The only splash of color about him is his blood red scarf,
usually worn as a mask and obscuring his lower face.
The Penumbra can move silently through shadows with a 99% chance of success. He is armed with cutlass
+5. As long as the scarf is obscuring his face he is 75% magic
resistant. He is also armed with a rather odd pair of hand crossbows.
Though these weapons fire standard quarrels there is no cross-arm or
bowstring on the weapon and it readies another quarrel automatically
after each shot. These are carried in paired leather holsters hanging
from The Penumbra's belt. Each of these weapons can fire up to six times
before needing to "rest" for 1 turn to "reload." He fires these weapons
akimbo, meaning one in each hand, and they are treated as +2 "to hit"
in his hands.
The Penumbra has a hideous, deep, taunting laugh
that he can project both vocally and mentally, this causes all creatures
hearing it a -1 penalty to all morale checks. The Penumbra can detect evil and detect alignment
at will on any being with 6" he can see. Treat him as having WIS 18 and
INT 15. If your campaign uses psionics/psychic abilities The Penumbra
should be gifted in these arts.
It is said that no matter what black thoughts dwell within the deepest recesses of your mind ... The Penumbra perceives!
