Beyond the Mountains and The Wall DCC

Originally published July 11th 2024

Here lies the beginning of my conversion of The Bronze Lands setting book to DCC. If you want any actual context as to what this is click here , it's free. This will be an irregularly posted part of my blog as I do the conversion two areas at a time until I eventually get to the unfinished Luke Gearing Monster document.

Beyond the Mountains

Ancient Serpent, The

Init: -14 upon waking, +3 once fully warmed; Atk: Tail Sweep +16 Melee (4d30 + See special), Swallow +14 (See Special) ; Crit M/d30; AC 26 (natural armor); HD 20d20; MV 150’; Act 2d20 + 1d30 + 1d20; SP Impenetrable Scales; SV Fort +30, Ref +15, Will +4; AL N

Tail Sweep: Due to the large size of the serpent it can target any number of creatures it wishes within 150’ of it.

Swallow: The target must make a Ref save against the Serpent’s attack roll. A successful save allows the target to stay stuck in the Serpent’s mouth. Every round thereafter the victim must make an opposed Strength check (the Serpent is treated as having a +12 Strength Bonus), on a failed save they are crushed and eaten. If the victim succeeds by 5+ they can break free.

Impenetrable Scales: The Ancient Serpent’s scales are incredibly tough, even the finest bronze cannot piece them. It naturally resists 12 Points of damage with every blow. If a bladed weapon deals 7+ damage in a single blow it shatters.

The Wall

Bite: If a Mastiff bites for 6+ damage it locks down and will not let go until it is dead. For every mastiff latched on to the victim they suffer a -2d penalty to all actions. If either party wants to move they must make an opposed strength check, able to move half their normal movement on a successful check. The mastiffs are treated as having a +1 Strength bonus for each dog latched on.

Undead Traits: Entirely immune to paralysis, mind affecting spells, cold damage, critical hits, and non-magical weapons.
