Average (+1): Deceive, Attack
Stunts
Battle Drums. Once per scene with goblins in it, you may bang a battle drum or blow a war horn to call in more goblins. This will summon either 2 more goblins per PC in the scene or one ogre. (This stunt can only be used once per scene, regardless of the number of goblins)
Stress & Consequences
Aspects
- Regenerating giant reptile
- Fire nullifies regeneration
- Multiple heads
Skills
Superb (+5): Claw/Stomp(Fight)
Great (+4): Notice, Provoke, Bite(Fight)
Fair (+2): Will, Investigate
Stunts
More Where That Came From. Instead of consequence slots, you start with one sticky (+4) condition called Decapitated for each head. If fire is not used in an attack that would decapitate a head, you gain another Decapitated condition slot instead of checking one off and you can clear your 2-point stress box. If fire is used, the condition is checked and the attacker gets a free invoke of it.
Coordinated Attack. You may take as many actions as the number of heads you have. Only one of these actions can be done by your body (i.e Tail slap, claw, run, etc.). After the body has done something in a round, all other actions can only be actions that a head could do on it's own (i.e. - Bite, scare, watch, etc.).
Stress & Consequences
Scene Ideas
The Hydra is designed to be used as the only adversary in a conflict against many opponents. It is meant to be tough. This would be great for teaching players to create advantages so that they can learn to defeat enemies.
About
Slimes are something that can be found in sewers and other collections of refuse. They melt things like wood and metal. Due to their physiology, slimes tend to break into multiple smaller slimes when they are wounded enough to be taken out.
When a large slime is taken out, it splits into 2 medium slimes.
