Introduction

All power comes to an Endbringer from his god, but that power is not infinite and ending the world is not an easy task. For assistance, an Endbringer can turn to its legion of loyal minions that it can summon through a magical ritual. These minions are not simple followers or cultists that an Endbringer attracts on a regular basis, but special warriors that are utterly devoted to the Endbringer and will follow any order without hesitation. Although often powerful all on their own, these minions can be further enhanced with the addition of magical shells that transform them into powerful abominations.

Bringer of Sacrifice

Illustration by Daarken. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

The Bringer of Sacrifice is a direct servant of an Endbringer and have dedicated to serving the Endbringer fulltime. Unlike most minions that either live their own lives until needed or those that run errands for the Endbringer, the Bringer of Sacrifice serves at the right hand of the Endbringer and travels with him wherever he goes. This can make the Endbringer more conspicuous, but the Bringer of Sacrifice can greatly aide the Endbringer with its special abilities.

Callow Believer

Illustration by Joshua Hagler. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

Drawn to the depths of teenage anxiety, Endbringers can find a nearly endless supply of followers, willing and eager to belong to anything greater then themselves. Endbringers offer these youths opportunities and power they could not believe possible, however, the price is eternal servitude. These young minions are not skilled warriors, but what they lack in physical abilities they make up for with magical talents.

Devoted One

Illustration by Ben Templesmith. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

The typical Endbringer minion, a Devoted One is a simple Human being that has, for whatever reason, become so devoted to an Endbringer and the Endbringer's god, that the person's independence will power has been completely destroyed. Although one of the weakest minions available to an Endbringer, their Human appearance and large numbers, provides a versatility that Endbringers with more demonic-looking minions often lacks. Armed with only a wickedly curved knife, basic Devoted Ones are often used as cannon fodder to soften up an Endbringers enemies before more powerful abominations are used. Another important feature of a Devoted One is his or her ability to merge with an Abomination Shell, which reduces the length and cost of a ritual to create the shell.

• Horror Factor: 6, from the crazed look in their eye when they are wielding the knife and wearing their ceremonial garb.
• P.P.E.: 14 (4D6)
• Natural Abilities:
  1. Magical Vessel: The minion is an easy vessel for abomination shells reducing the cost in dollars and PPE for any ritual to add an Abomination Shell to the minion by half. An Endbringer can also graft an extra abomination shell onto a minion of this type.
  2. Simple Minion: The magic required to bond a Devoted One is very weak, so each Devoted One counts as half a Minion for purposes of the total number of Minions that an Endbringer can control.
  3. Ritual of Summoning: The ritual required to summon the minion requires $500 worth of materials, 50 PPE, and one hour to cast the spell. An Endbringer must be at least 1st level to perform the ritual.

• Appearance: The appearance of a Devoted One varies greatly, as they can come from any walk of life on Earth, but there is always a hint of something in their face and especially their eyes, a combination of exultation and insanity. Although it may be well concealed, all Devoted Ones carry a magical knife.

Feculus, Sewer Lord

Illustration by Jeremy Spears. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

Feculus is a strange being. Most Endbringers believe that it is some kind of alien intelligence trapped somewhere in the megaverse and that when they "summon" it as a Minion, they are creating a fragment of the intelligence and then placing that fragment under their control. This could be possible, but in any case, Feculus is a strange, slime-like creature, able to contort its body into impossible shapes and engulf targets much larger than itself. Feculus is also a powerful sorcerer, making it a welcome addition to any Endbringer's forces.

This minion has a spell strength bonus of +2.
• Natural Abilities:
  1. Manipulate Shape: Feculus can temporarily squish, mold, and disperse its physical form. This means it can pour itself though a crack under a door, through a keyhole, down a drain pipe, or squeeze through bars, chains, ropes, etc. The minion can also disperse itself over a large area to remain virtually unseen until it reforms its body. Any change in its shape requires one melee action and but the change requires no concentration to maintain.
  2. Engulf: Feculus can completely engulf an object in an attempt to incapacitate or suffocate it. In order to engulf a target, the minion requires a melee attack and must successfully grapple the target. If the grapple is successful, Feculus can then pull the target into its body. Once trapped inside, the target will be unable to breathe and will begin to suffocate. For a typical Human, dizziness occurs within one minute, unconsciousness in two minutes, and death within 4D4x10 seconds thereafter. In order to break free of the minion, the engulfed object must make a PS attribute check against Feculus. If the target succeeds, it will be immediately ejected from the minion's body. People outside the minion can help those inside only by killing Feculus or convincing it or its Endbringer master to order Feculus to release the object it has engulfed. Feculus can engulf an object with a mass up to its maximum carrying weight.
  3. Damage Resistant: Reduce all damage dealt to the minion by two points, to a minimum of 0 points of damage. An attack that is a volley, such as a volley of missiles, has this reduction applied only once to the volley, not to each object in the volley.
  4. Unique: An Endbringer can only control one minion of this type at any given time.
  5. Ritual of Summoning: The ritual required to summon the minion requires $13,000 worth of materials, 1300 PPE, and 13 hours to cast the spell. An Endbringer must be at least 13th level to perform the ritual.
  6. Minion Traits: A minion will follow all instructions and commands given to it by the Endbringer that summoned. Minions are immune to mind control and possession and take double damage from holy weapons.
• Experience Level: 13th level
• Skills of Note:
  • Prowl (26% +60% in the sewers)

• Attacks per Melee: 7 attacks per melee (7 from Feculus) or 2 magical attacks per melee.
• Combat Bonuses: +1 to strike, +2 to dodge, and +1 to parry.
• Combat Abilities: Automatic Parry, Basic Attacks, Choke, Critical Strike (18-20), Critical Strike - Behind, Grab, Strike, Dodge, Parry, Simultaneous Attack, Maintain Balance, Roll with Punch / Fall / Impact, and Move.

  • Restrained Slam: 1D6
  • Slam: 1D8
  • Power Slam: 2D8 (counts as two attacks)
• Appearance: Feculus, the Sewer Lord usually appears as a vaguely Human shaped pile of brown and dirty slime. When stationary, Feculus can easily be confused for a pile of refuse, and he is vertually undetectable in a dirty sewer, hence his name. Feculus has a pair of large eyes and a mouth at the top of its body, but it can easily pull these features into its body, rendering them undetectable. Feculus does not need its eyes to see and has no apparent ears to hear with, but it does need its mouth to speak or cast spells, so its mouth is often exposed in combat.

Filth Rat

Illustration by Kari Christensen. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

Most minions have but one purpose or specialty, but the Filth Rat serves two important roles for an Endbringer. Firstly, a Filth Rat is a strong combatant, providing decent stats for a low level minion and secondly, a Filth Rat can be used as a traveling PPE Battery. Filth Rats provide excellent protection for spell-casting Endbringers that wish to wage into combat, but still be protected from enemies that might try to direct their focus against the Endbringer. Unfortunately, Filth Rats have animal level intelligence, and while they can understand orders from the Endbringer that summoned them, they are not sentient beings in any way.

Racial Statistics

• P.P.E.: 44 (PE attribute x3 +3D6)

  1. Living PPE Battery: The Endbringer that summoned the Filth Rat can access its PPE as if it was a PPE Battery, but the rat must be within 100' (30.5 m) of the Endbringer per level of experience. The rat regains PPE at the usual rate.
  2. Simple Minion: The magic required to bond a Filth Rat is very weak, so each Filth Rat counts as half a Minion for purposes of the total number of Minions that an Endbringer can control.

Gatekeeper

Illustration by Kari Christensen. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

Like the Bringer of Sacrifice, the Gatekeeper is a direct servant of the Endbringer, but he specializes in summoning spells. Gatekeepers generally travel with the Endbringer to quickly summon new allies for the Endbringer when they are needed. However, the Gatekeeper's usefulness is more limited than most minions, as it has few abilities and powers beyond the large number of summoning spells that it knows, but it also shares these summoning spells with the Endbringer, which greatly increases its usefulness for spell-focused Endbringers.

  2. Limited Range: The Gatekeeper must remain within 50' (15.2 m) of the summoning Endbringer per level of experience. If the minion exceeds that range, it immediately dies and the Endbringer takes 4D6 points of damage directly to hit points in feedback damage.
  3. Ritual of Summoning: The ritual required to summon the minion requires $8000 worth of materials, 800 PPE, and eight hours to cast the spell. An Endbringer must be at least 8th level to perform the ritual.

Great Mother

Illustration by Ian Edward Ameling. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

The Great Mother is a powerful combat minion. It has few special abilities, but it is a true monster in combat, easily surpassing most of the other minions in pure combat. The main problem with this minion is its monstrous appearance and size, which severely restricts its use by the Endbringer. Most Great Mothers are kept close to the Endbringer for defense and where they can be kept out of sight, but when they can be kept hidden for most of a trip, they can be used for strikes on heavily defended targets or on raids against other Endbringers where their appearance will pose no problem.

Hatcheteer

Illustration by Daarken. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

The Hatcheteer is often the most basic follower for those that attract Humans and they are one of the easiest to conceal in normal society. Even after being summoned, most Hatcheteers continue to lead their normal lives until they are called upon to serve their Endbringer master. All Hatcheteers are armed with a wicked looking hatchet that they know how to instinctively use to deadly effect. In addition, each Hatcheteer is given a ceremonial outfit by his or her Endbringer to represent their unwavering devotion to the Endbringer. Although they can come from any walk of life, most Hatcheteers were originally laborers or farm works that would not cause much disruption if they disappeared, but most continue to work at their day jobs, while serving the Endbringer at night.

• Appearance: A Hatcheteer appears as a normal person when dressed in regular, civilian clothes, although they are often quiet and aloof, but when they wear the ceremonial robes given to them by their Endbringer, their faces twist and contort into masks of rage and hatred. However, what a Hatcheteer is wearing has no effect on their combat abilities.

Hungry Chupacabra

Illustration by David Hudnut. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

A favorite of Endbringers for their good strength and agility, the Hungry Chupacabras are a regular among Endbringers that want relatively small minions that are still capable in combat. These supernatural dogs are vicious and will eat anything they kill, leaving behind little to identify their victims. Although they will never be confused with a regular dog in regular light, these minions can easily be confused with a large dog at night or in poor lighting. One of the main benefits of a Hungry Chupacabra is that it can be summoned in large numbers, only requiring half of a regular minion slot for each one summoned.

Lord of Sacrifices

Illustration by Mitch Cotie. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

The Lord of Sacrifices is a powerful addition to Endbringers that focus on magic and rituals. Although similar to the Bringer of Sacrifice, this minion is even stronger and provides a huge increase in the PPE made available when the minion performs a sacrifice for an Endbringer. The human-like Aztecal, is also a moderate psychic and spell caster, although its primary focus is non-combat support for the Endbringer, not combat.

Primeval Larva

Illustration by Colin Fix. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

An ancient creature of raw power, a Primeval Larva normally resides in the deep places of the world, hidden from sight, but an Endbringer knows how to call one into his service. Ancient Larva are known for their large, gaping maw and powerful psionic abilities, but they lack intelligence. These minions are far more suited for mindless destruction than careful strategies, so they are often teamed up with more intelligent minions to help guide them in an Endbringer's operation. Another important facet of a Primeval Larva is its ability to accept Abomination Shells, allowing an Endbringer to create powerful abominations for a fraction of what it would normally cost.

Razorwire Artist

Illustration by Ben Templesmith. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

"I love the slick, scratchy sound of barbed wire sliding under the skin."

Most minions think of themselves as loyal servants of a great and powerful person, the Endbringer, if they even think of it at all, but this minion views himself as an artist being given the the opportunity to paint a masterpiece by the Endbringer. Powerful, deadly, and utterly insane, the razorwire artist revels in inflicting pain and suffering. Armed with a whip made of sharp razorwire, the minion grows stronger as a battle progresses and it continues to inflict more and more pain on those around it.

Ruin Sifter

Illustration by Lucio Parrillo. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

The Ruin Sifter is a perfect companion for an Endbringer that explores old ruins to find ancient relics that help on the quest to destroy the Earth. The Ruin Sifter is built to be a quick digger, especially through soft dirt, but even through rock and concrete. The same strong arms and sharp claws also give the Ruin Sifter a powerful claw attack, making it a formidable foe in combat. Unlike many other minions, the Ruin Sifter is not usually kept for long periods of time. They are usually summoned during an expedition to perform some task and then they are dismissed, allowing the Endbringer to summon other, more generally useful minions.

Scartist

Illustration by Daarken. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

Stretched out on a lonely, cold floor, the Scartist places the red-hot metal cylinder against the skin of his arm. The flesh quickly blackens and burns and another scar has been added to the minion's ever growing repertoire crisscrossing his body. One for every task he's performed for his master.

Scartists begin as normal looking humans, but they quickly brand their bodies using hot irons, cutting, and sometimes any sharp object that comes to hand. While the exact criteria for when a scar is added differs with each Scartist, their bodies quickly become covered. Scartists enjoy the pain of their scars and revel in being hurt, taking both pleasure and power from that pain. This and their powerful psychic talents makes them useful as mid-range minions and as a good basis for powerful abominations that are far tougher and can take advantage of the Scartist's Masochist ability.

Suckling

Illustration by Colin Fix. ©1995-2006 Wizards of the Coast, Inc.

The Suckling is a small creature used for simple assassination missions and to disrupt enemy attacks. The creature combines a powerful bite attack with a powerful poison that can paralyze its target, enabling the Suckling to continue its attacks in peace. Combined with its ability to latch onto a target to allow it to more easily deliver its bite attacks, the Suckling can be a great asset for most Endbringers.

  2. Latching Bite: After each successful bite, the Suckling can automatically latch onto the target and remaining attached. While attached, the Suckling automatically deals bite damage with each of its attacks. The Suckling can be ripped off the target with an opposed PS attribute check, but doing so will cause an additional 2D6 points of damage to the creature the Suckling is attached to.

Tecciztecatl

The Tecciztecatl is built for combat. The creature has no finesse or subtlety in how it carries out an Endbringer's orders. Although not mindless and quite capable of following fairly complex instructions, the Tecciztecatl prefers to keep things simple and unless instructed otherwise, it will take the easiest and most destructive path to reach its objective as possible.

The Tenochtitlan King is used as a field commander for a group of Aztecal minions. Smart, and a powerful spell caster, the Tenochtitlan King is able to work independently from the Endbringer that summoned it, and its powerful enhancement effect can make even the weakest Aztecal minions into formidable opponents.
