[adultish] In the real-world, the baboon was associated with Thoth. In DEITIES && DEMIGODS, the ibis is the sacred animal of Thoth. Does anyone have stats for the ibis, for (A)D&D?

Stygia Egypt. The name comes from Styx, a river of the Greek underworld in Greek mythology. In earlier times the territory of Stygia included Shem, Ophir, Corinthia, and part of Koth. Stygia is ruled by a theocracy of sorcerer-kings.The people are dark skinned. Most of the common people are descendants of the various races across the world. They worship the serpent god Set. Stygia's terrain is a mix of mountains, desert, plains, and marshes. The Styx river flows through Stygia into the sea. - en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyborian_Age#Etymology

Anubaji(name and idea is based on old Grenadier figure from the Creature Catalog(?))
Black furred cousins to the gnoll in Egyptian kilts with mace and shield
AC 13 2HD
In combat these cowardly creatures will hide behind their shields skillfully 50% of the time. If behind shield there is a 50/50 chance you will hit shield(which takes 10 points to destroy) or hit them. They are minus 1 to attack on rounds they do attack. 1 in 6 of them is a cleric that will have 3 HD and 2x cause light wounds and one CLW and dagger (they will use spells first)
they will attempt to run when 50% of them are dead

Thanks, tmao. All of the main D&D races are represented in the Aegyptian pantheon realms, with the addition of Gnolls. I would assume that this includes Flinds. Racial Hatred, Prespos Ps.  With regards to the comment about Racial Hatred, see the Racism rules in 1E. Lions && Hyenas simply do NOT get along. So, although there are no Lion-people, as far as I know, but, there are indeed Werelions (LE) && Gnolls, in the Aegyptian pantheon realms. Ps2. My Mom actually loves hyenas. They are matriarchal, and they are fiercely devoted Mothers. Ps4. THat said, in real life, I was born at Lion's Gate Hospiital (as in: Stargate), and, I "open carry". God bless the 2nd amendment. |
