OGDOAD

by Claudio Pozas

Reputedly, the ogdoad (singular and plural) are descen-

dants of beings that swam about in the muck of primordial

Chaos, before the forces of Law condensed existence into

what we now call time. The ogdoad are closely connected

with the element of water and with the essence of dream-stuff.

Many-hued and alien-minded, these creatures are in some

ways similar to demons, devils, and celestials. However,

instead of dwelling in abysmal landscapes or heavenly

domiciles, they continue to wade around in the few planar

pockets of Primordial Chaos that the gods of Law didnt

corrupt. As such, they grow and change constantly, but

share a few common characteristics. All ogdoad are

bipedal humanoids in form, though they closely resemble

vaguely human-shaped frogs or toads.Legends say that the ogdoad are servants of elder beings

of immense power and whose inconstant nature is utterly

hostile to mortals. Ogdoad feature strongly in the legends

of aquatic peoples such as sahuagin, kuo-toa, merfolk,

and even aquatic elves. It is said that when the Deluge

sank Atlantis (and much of the rest of Karathis), the

ogdoad enjoyed free rein of the oceans, and have been try-

ing to re-establish a foothold there ever since.

Combat

The tactics of ogdoad vary widely, as do their abilities and

strengths. In general, they are fearless in combat, and their

motives and actions are inscrutable.

Ogdoad Traits: An ogdoad possess the following traits

(unless otherwise noted in a specific ogdoads entry).

Spell-Like Abilities: At willdetect law; 3/daypro-

tection from law. Caster level = the ogdoads HD. The

save DC is Charisma-based.

Alien Mindset (Ex): Ogdoad have a +4 racial bonus to

resist all charm, compulsion, and fear effects. Further,

anyone attempting to read an ogdoads mind (via detect

thoughts or some similar effect) must succeed at a Will

save (DC = 10 + the ogdoads HD + the ogdoads

Charisma modifier). If successful, the character is stunned

for 1 round and the mind-reading fails. If the save fails,

the mind-reading fails and the character is stunned for 1

round and then affected by a lesser confusion effect for

the following 1d4 rounds.

Breathless (Ex): Ogdoad dont need to breathe and

immune to suffocation, drowning, and gas attacks. Th

can survive comfortably in a vacuum.

Damage Reduction: An ogdoads natural weapons

well as any manufactured weapons they wield) are c

sidered to be chaotic-aligned for the purpose of overco

ing damage reduction.

All ogdoad have darkvision 60 ft. and low-light visi

All ogdoad have fast healing 5.

All ogdoad have resistance to cold 5, fire 5, and so

5, as well as immunity to acid.

Summon Ogdoad(Sp): One or more times per day,

ogdoad can attempt to summon one or more other me

bers of its race as a standard action. The numbers and ty

summoned are given in each ogdoads description, as

the chance of success for that ogdoads summoning ab

ty. Ogdoad summoned in this way remain for 1 hour, a

summoned ogdoad cant use their own summon ogdoability for 1 hour.

An ogdoad has a +8 racial bonus on any Swim che

made to perform some special action or avoid a hazard

can always choose to take 10 on Swim checks, even if d

tracted or endangered. It can use the run action wh

swimming, provided it swims in a straight line.

All ogdoad speak their own tongue, known as Ogdoa

For their own unfathomable reasons, some choose to m

ter additional languages, and kukkoad can communicwith virtually any being by means of theirtongues spe

like ability.
