Enemies

Enemies have HDd6 health. When their health reaches 0 they are dead.

Enemy attacks do 1d6 damage unless noted otherwise. When they roll exactly their Attack, their damage is doubled.

Enemy Attack is equal to 11+HD. Enemies of HD 9 or greater only miss when they roll under their target's AC, doubling damage on a roll of 20.

Enemies make saving throws by rolling under 10 + HD on 1d20. Rolling exactly their number means they are immune to that effect for the rest of the encounter.

Enemies of HD 1-3 have one attack per Round, HD 4-7 have two attacks, HD 8-11 have three, and HD 12+ have four.

# Appearing indicates an average group size for a given encounter. The GM should adjust this to taste when creating wandering monster tables and encounters for their own adventures.
