For all character levels: Thirteen golems—each a unique and horrifying creature constructed of myriad materials—are presented with complete descriptions and short adventures. This is fourth release in the Children of the Night series, based upon the tremendously popular Van Richten's Guides. These terrifying creatures fit equally easily into an ongoing "Ravenloft" campaign or any AD&D game setting. Suitable for all player character levels. The Whole Is Greater Than the Sum of the Parts Within these pages lie the stories of 13 madmen and their singular creations. Some are flesh and blood, others glass or wax, even metal or mist. Whatever their makeup, each has the will to live - and sometimes that means needing to kill. They are more than just golems. They are the Created. And they are ready to make your acquaintance. Among those lurking inside: The Chaperone, a bestial companion with grave defects. Automatic Man, a corroded "butler" entombed in rubble, eager to serve up terror anew. Angelique, a perfect beauty with an imperfect past, terrified by the "killer within." Dr. Bollenbach, a surgeon who know the many faces of death - and who would like you to meet them. Children of the Night: The Created is the fourth volume in a series that celebrates the horrors detailed in the best-selling Van Richten's Monster Hunter's Compendiums. Each of the creatures in this book is introduced through a complete story describing its origin, powers, and personality, as well as a short adventure. While these monsters are designed for the RAVENLOFT campaign setting, they can be unleashed in any AD&D game world. Each mini-adventure can serve as a diversion from regular play, a special "evening of terror," or become part of your ongoing horror campaign.
