Descript {
|
|
Apocrypha resemble regular books, generally of the large dusty tome variety, although with several key differences.
|
|
For instance, regular books do not have fangs, nor do they fly, and regular books especially do not latch onto unsuspecting passerby and drain out their knowledge.
|
|
|
|
Apocrypha live in swarms (generally between 3 and 6), and prefer environments where they will go unnoticed, like old libraries and the bookshelves of dungeons.

|
Special {
|
|
Once this attack lands, the apocrypha stays attached to the target, and at the start of each of the apocrypha's turns (until it gets detached), the target takes 1d4+3 psychic damage, and 1 INT damage. Accrued INT damage can be healed by reading the apocrypha (likely once it is killed). Be careful not to destroy the corpse!

Notes {
|
|
Use on low level parties. Support with a stronger monster.
|
|
Doesn't nerf casters in practice, just makes them angry.
