No Human/Demihuman Races

The fun of the Thundercats is that there were no humans and that image of a world

populated by anthropomorphic animals was something dierent and alien. (To my

knowledge !umm"Ra was the only Human on Third #arth$ %se only anthro"animal

races like &nolls 'iardmen catfolk etc.

!edium !agic

Remo)e classes that prepare spells in ad)ance such as wiard and cleric and allow

only spontaneous casters like sorcerers and fa)ored souls. This is slightly lower the

magic le)el of the world by limiting the number of spells your players will ha)e

access to but most importantly it will better *t the theme of primal forces and

innate power.

Dealing with Tech

The new series sets up technology as something that the Thundercats don+t use or

really understand. This approach will help to highlight the nature/tech dichotomy of

the show and make your life easier as a D!. Tech should be as obscure to your

characters as ancient artifacts are to your players.

,f you get too liberal with the Tech you wont be playing a fantasy game any more. ,f

you add too much it will cease to be powerful and mystical. -esides tech is the

weapon of !umm"Ra and his forces if you gi)e your players too much tech it will

blur the lines between the nature/tech struggle at the heart of the series.

, would use the futuristic weapons listed in the D!& page 0 to out*t !umm"Ra+s

goons. 1 Thundrillium shortage could e2plain away e)ery single soldier doesn+t

carry a ri3e.

These are Bust a few of the possibilities. , thought of doing other types Canthers for

e2ample but it is hard to make them mechanically dierent from tigers.

>word of mens (minor artifact$

This )ersion is based on the new series. The original sword had about =0 powers

and would be impossible to duplicate.

The >word of mens is a ie Eariation" 1s a standard action the wielder may change the sie of the sword to

any one of the following6 dagger short sword longsword sword. Regardless of the

weapon+s sie it retains all its properties.

7all of the Cride" 1s a standard action the wielder can produce the symbol of his

clan in the air. The symbol is )isible to clan members regardless of distance of

)isibility.

>ight -eyond >ight" nce per day as a standard action the wielder may use

7lairaudience/7lair)oyance as per the spell. 7aster le)el =8th.

7law >hield

The claw shield is a leather glo)e reinforced with steel strips. ,t acts as a buckler

and thanks to its steel claws can act as a slashing weapon as well. -ecause of itsstrange nature the claw shield is an e2otic weapon. (D!+s could consider gi)ing

Thundercats this pro*ciency as a bonus racial feat$

7law >hield F8gp d0 dmg 2= crit =lbs. slashing armor bonus armor

4/31

The shield claw cannot be used to perform a shield bash and the user cannot wield

a weapon in their claw hand as the claws are *2ed. The shield claw is considered a

light weapon. 7law shields can be adapted to sheath small blades.

Hopefully this will gi)e you a starting point to work from. ,f you enBoyed this post

and would like to see more like it let me know. Ne2t time , could stat out !umm"Ra

and create a Thundertank.

'ord of the Thundercats@editA

Truth Honor 'oyalty ustice this is the code of Thundera.

The Thundercats were an ancient race of feline humanoid outsider nobles that 3ed

their doomed anthropomorphic plane and e)entually found their way to the Crime

!aterial Clane. Cursuing them were se)eral e)il races collecti)ly known as the

!utants who ranged from anthropomorphic Backles and liards to apes and

)ultures. %pon *nding themsel)es on the Crime each side built themsel)es )ast

strongholds *lled with magics beyond those seen anywhere else on the Crime

!aterial Clane.

-ut that was many ages ago and the outcome of their battles is not known. Time

came and time went and both the Thundercats and the !utants e)entually

)anished from the face of the erth their magics faded and their weapons were lostto the ages. 1ll but one the most powerful relic of their doomed plane a sword of

immense power the >word of mens. 5eilded only by the 'ord of the Thundercats

the >word of mens embodied all the Thundercats stood for. 1lthough the

Thundercats themsel)es are long since gone this epic sword remains waiting for a

new master to claim it and begin the long road of mastering itIs skills.

5hile the dierence between 1dam and He"!an is physical it is not psychological.

1dam can be well intentioned and bra)e when he wants to be but as a warrior he

is clearly an amateur. >adly because he must keep his alter"ego a secret from

almost e)erybody and must freJuently 3ee from danger to make the change manyof his friends " and e)en his parents " tend to belie)e he is a coward.

than these.

The >word of &reyskull6 This ornate bastard sword created by 7astle &reyskull

itself is a potent artifact and the key to He"!anIs power. ,ts primary purpose is toser)e as a link between He"!an and &reyskullO in fact it may be that the >word

itself has no true powers of its own and &reyskull is the only true artifact (&reyskull

,> an artifact of immesurable power perhaps the most powerful in e2istence so the

Juestion remains unknown$. 1t any rate this link cannot be se)ered " e)en if He"

!an is on another plane the >word can still draw power from its creator.

1s a weapon the >word of &reyskull is a Holy >hocking -urst !ighty 7lea)ing word. (,t is not an intelligent weapon probably because it is an e2tension

of &reyskull which ,> sentient and intelligent$. Howe)er the >word has many other

powers.

L Crimarily the >word can transform 1dam to He"!an and back (see 1lter"#go

abo)e$. #ach transformation takes a full round action (but since it is always done

out of site away from combat this is rarely a problem$. He may transform from

1dam to He"!an and back again as many times as necessary.

5hen in 1damIs form the >word also changes becoming a rather plain bastard

sword. ,n this dormant state the sword has no powers other than the ability to

transform 1dam to He"!an.

paladin and he knows the meaning of mercy. ,f a foe is near defeat heIll always

killing an enemy. His restraint and self"control is admired by many heroes.

History6 To fully understand the history of He"!an one must understand the history

of his power source 7astle &reyskull.

'ong years ago a cabal of ancient wiards and sorcerers of goodness e2isted who

held the secrets of #terniaIs magical power power so great that it could undo reality

and shape it in any way its possessor desiredO power so great it could make gods

tremble. Naturally these #lders as they called themsel)es protected these secrets

with their li)es " if e)il claimed them the uni)erse would be doomed.

-ut an powerful e)il warlord named Kel)or learned of these #lders and gathered a

horde of e)il warriors. They attacked them but they were no match for the #lders.

They cursed the egotistical Keldor and banished him and his henchmen to the Dark

Hemisphere a place on #ternia of great e)il where no sane creature dares go.

>e)eral decades passed. The #lders predicted that e)il would returnO their mortal

bodies were now too frail and decrepit to combat it. >o they de)ised a plan.

They gathered in an ancient ruin that #ternians were fond of calling 7astle

&reyskull due its skull"shaped front. 5hate)er purpose this castle was origially

built for had been forgotten for centuries but it would now ha)e a new one. The

#lders chanted and conBured for weeks speaking the words of one ultra"powerful

spell. 5hen it was done all of #ternia shook and e)ery creature on the planet felt a

breif twinge of pain.

The #lders were no more. They had used the spell to meld bodies souls and

spirits with the walls of &reyskull. They had lost their identities and indi)iduallity

but now their )ital secrets were safe in a powerful monolith of stone. Their ne2t act

was to *nd a caretaker for the 7astleO they found one in a mysterious woman who

is now known only as The >orceress. The only thing left was to *nd a guardian " but

that could wait.


13/31

#)entually after a few decades more e)il did return. Keldor now calling himself

>keletor escaped from the Dark Hemisphere along with his e)il minions. He

launched an attack on the #ternian Royal Calace belie)ing that King Randor knew

the location of the #lders.

,n the early stages of the battle a strange feeling started to come o)er RandorIssi2teen"year"old son 1dam #terniaIs 7rown Crince and heir to the throne as well as

the kings general Duncan aka !an"at"1rms a man who unbeknownst to anyone

knew more about &reyskull and the #lders than Bust about anyone. &uessing what

the feeling probably was Duncan led th reluctant 1dam to the 7astle where the

drawbridge swung open to great them.

,nside the two were confronted by the beautiful >orceress. >he told 1dam in no

uncertain terms that the 7astle had chosen him as its protectorO he would become

its guardian in order to protect the secrets that the #lders had worked so hard to

keep.

%nfortunately the teenager nai)e and skeptical as he was was unwilling to belie)e

such a farfetched story. 5hy would the great and powerful #lders chose a clumsy

si2teen"year"old kid to protect such )ital power. He scoed and left the building

much to the >orceress and !an"at"1rmIs disappointment.

Howe)er in the ensuing hours the battle between >keletorIs forces and RandorIs

elite warriors (later called the !asters$ intensi*ed. 1dam soon saw that his friends

were being trounced. ?inally when >keletor himself kidnapped his father 1dam saw

that he had no choice and he ran back to &reyskull. %nseen by him his pet cat

Kringer and RandorIs court magician rko saw him 3ee and out of curiosity

followed him.

5hen 1dam again met the >orceress little needed to be said. >he led him to the

7astleIs inner sanctium and handed him the >word of &reyskull which then and

there transformed him into He"!an for the *rst time. The >orceress then said he

would need a companionO he then saw that Kringer and rko were watching. >o he

turned the >wordIs power on his belo)ed pet transforming him into the powerful

-attle 7at.

?inally the >orceress warned him that his dual identity must fore)er be a secret for

if the forces of e)il should e)er learn it e)en accidentally the conseJuences would

be dire.

5ith He"!an Boining the battle the tide Juickly turned. Randor was rescued and

>keletorIs forces were defeated.

>ince then 1dam has adBusted to his role as Defender of &reyskull Juite nicely. To

the other !asters (aside from !an"at"1rms and rko$ he is somewhat of a mystery

but they are always glad for his help (that is a great irony6 he is the most powerful


14/31

!aster but as he is not technically an employee or ally of Randor he is really Bust

an unocial member of the group$. He really does not know why the 7astle chose

himO not e)en !an"at"1rms who has studied the #lders and &reyskull e2stensi)ely

and is the closest thing the >orceress has to a con*dant has any idea why. The

>orceress may know why but she isnIt telling. ,t doesnIt matter. He"!an has pro)ed

an eecti)e &uardian and likely will continue to be so for the immediate future.

Description6 >keletor is a half"*end although his status as such is the result of a

curse not his parentage. His *endish nature is ob)ious6 his 3esh is purple and most

remarkably his head is a bare skull. 5hen angered his usually empty eye sockets

glow red. Despite this biarre anatomy he is a li)ing (not undead$ creature and has

no problem talking eating breathing hearing seeing or smelling. His dress is

limited to a leather harness boots glo)es and a hooded cape all a dark purple and

decorated with bones.

Tactics6 >keletor always choses spells carefully. He usually has plenty of oensi)e

spells but is also fond of illusions and spells that summon elementals demons and

other monsters. He usually keeps a Teleport spell memoried for a Juick escape.

1lthough he is ci)ilied enough not to resort to *ghting with his claws and teeth

(most of the time >keletor has little sense of honor and he *ghts dirty. He does not

know the meaning of fair *ght and can be Juite a bully at times. ,f his life " or his

freedom " is in Beopardy " he will say or promise anything to sa)e his )ile skinO butonly an idiot would belie)e his promises for they are all lies.

History6 4ears ago the warlord Kele)or and his horde of minions attempted to

ensla)e his home planet of #ternia by launching an attack against a cabal of ancient

wiards and sorcerers known as the #lders powerful arcane masters who held the


17/31

secrets of controling the )ast magics of #ternia in their minds. Kele)or and his men

were no match for themO the #lders cursed him and banished him and his minions

to the Dark Hemisphire a place on #ternia of great e)il where no sane creature

dares to go.

Decades went by and in recent years the #lders forsaw that e)il would return in amore powerful shape. Their bodies were too old and decrepit to confront the new

challengeO so working together they cast a mighty spell that merged themsel)es

bodies souls and spirits with an old ruin that #ternias called 7astle &reyskull. They

had now lost their identities and indi)iduallity but their secrets and power were now

safe in a powerful artifact of impenitrable magically reinforced stone. !ore would

need to be done but that could wait for now.

#)il did come as Kele)or now calling himself >keletor returned and constructed a

fortress in an acti)e )olcano which he called >nake !ountain.

He gathered all his minions together and decided it was time to strike. The

launched an assault on the palace of King Randor #terniaIs current monarchO

>keletorIs plan was to force out of Randor the location of the #lders. %nfortunately

unbeknownst to >keletor that was knowlege that Randor did not ha)e. The attack

did indeed draw out Randor and his team of elite warriors(who would later

Newlithids look almost nothing like their !ind ?layer brethren. Their e2terior is seen

as a big metallic shell with numerous lights on the top of the rotating headU piece

that help with percei)ing its en)ironment. ne of its arms is co)ered in suction

cups with a massi)e e2panding cup hand to grapple and drain the )ictim of their

brain. Their other arm is a destructi)e super weapon capable of eliminating

enemies in an instant. ne of the 3aws in the shell+s design is lack of proper legs

but many small wheels to cart them around. 1s such it is hard for them to tra)el up

surfaces naturally. ?ortunately for them newer models of their armor ha)e the

trip balls out in -laine 7ounty up until momIs new husband Richard (banker 7# type$

shipped him o and out of sight to uni in 'as Eenturas with a full ride (nice of him huh$. That

lasted all of a few semesters. Roger was smart enough to breee through high school

without gi)ing it much attention and although a few of his courses were maybe getting

interesting the distractions of partying with clientele eager to gi)e up their tuition checks

for a bag of Icollege e2periencesI pro)ed too much.

He e)entually dropped uni entirely and out of a rented house in &rapeseed began cooking

and growing the fun stu himself. Ceople made it seem like this shit was hard to get a hold

of but all it took was a few eye*nd searches for instructions and recipes maybe an order

from o)erseas or a trip to the hardware store and boom. >hrooms dmt acid weed molly

and maybe little crystal here and there Roger started supplying himself and pulling in some

real cash selling to kids back at uni as well as a broadening selection of customers back

home in '>.

,t was easy to keep a low pro*le before but big money meant big attention. 'ost !7 and

smaller time families still had pull up in -laine 7ounty and after sning out RogerIs

homegrown op tried to sJueee him out. 1 guyIs got to protect his piece though and so a

web search later helped with a little fertilier gasoline and copper wires he found a

temporary (and loud$ solution to his problems. Remnants of the 'ost were still out there

though (minus a cookhouse$ so Roger thought it best to relocate back to '> in !irror Cark to

lay low. -ad news if the '!7 e)er track him down and probably worse news if his folks e)er

caught wind heId dropped out.
