Ocean Leech

Adversaries Designed by tudy

Adversary overview

These carnouflaged leg-sized leeches are hard to spot. They have a ringed mouth with paralyzing fangs.

Ocean Leeches drift in the water, sometimes on the surface. Their body is partly transparent and their color suited to match the water, which makes them very hard to spot besides their size — about the proportions of a grown person’s leg.

Even though they are not hard to defeat, if more than one of them surprises a target it runs danger of being paralyzed, which often means that it start drowing in the waves while their blood is being pumped out by the leeches!

This adversary is part of my Hundred Islands campaign.

    Spend a Fear to try to attach on a target. Perform an attack, if it hits (regardless whether you mark HP) the target is Dizzied. A Dizzied target performs its next action at disadvantage and then clears this condition. If a Dizzied target would get Dizzied again, they become Paralyzed instead. Paralyzed characters forfeit their actions, but can try to clear Paralysis with a succesful Strength reaction roll.
