They were pretty much a silly rules construction. There are diamondback rattlesnakes and pythons though! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take them, add some chaotic features and voila Chaos Snakes. If that doesn't convince you either you can always see the Stoorworms to take references.

My favorite was a group of Chaos Snakes that had the Appears Harmless feature and looked like an abandoned adventurer's campsite. Personally, I like the Chaos Snakes - and whether they were originally snakes that took on the aspect of weapons, or weapons that were transmuted into snake-like forms, I thought they captured some of the bizarreness of Chaos in Glorantha.

Godweyn Posted October 14, 2022 Share Posted October 14, 2022 Since we are talking about snakes, does anyone know if there is more information in some lost corner about the "Deep Snakes" defeated by Babeester in "The Book Of Heortling Mythology" ?

Basically a trap in a middle of nowhere. May as well deal out random damage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do not believe there is anything else. I'd interpret them as either: underground rivers or underground lava flows. Likely of a draconic nature rather than deities.

No, just use them from RQ2 and they should be good. I never liked them, really, as they are useless against people with good armour.

I was hoping for RQ stats for the rainbow snake variety described in Anaxial’s Roster. Actually, my longer term goal is to create a Chaos cult and deity centered on these critters. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMKen Posted October 15, 2022 Share Posted October 15, 2022 (edited) Dorastor would be a place to look for Rainbow Snakes, at least in the French-language version (which was way cheaper than an English-language one). Assuming these are the same beasties as in Anaxial’s Roster, the stats would be: STR: 1d6+6 CON: 2d6+2 SIZ: 1d6+3 INT: 3 POW: 1d6+6 DEX: 3d6 So a little bit different from the RQ2 stats. The attack is POW v POW, success results in victim being immobile/harmonized for 1d6 rounds, even if attacked by snake. SR 1, costs 1 POW.

Mark Mohrfield Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Is that from the RQ3 Dorastor book? If so, I’ll have to check my copy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GMKen Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Yes, RQ3 Dorastor. As I noted, I have the French-language edition, so don’t know if the same info is in the English-language version, which I don’t have as copies are stupid expensive. Probably the same, but I make no assumptions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
