How to Use

The Book of Lairs

The intent of this book is to provide the ref-

eree with a series of pregenerated encounters

to insert into any AD&D® game campaign.

Each creature encounter is itself a series of en-

counters that can be used all at once or in part

during a game. The referee can easily use

these encounters without much preparation

during the middle of a game or can use them

to start off an adventure.

The adventures in this book are organized

into terrain groupings. Within each terrain

type, the adventures are listed in order of in-

creasing difficulty (from adventures designed

for low-level parties to those created for high-

level groups).

An index in the back of this book lists the

adventures in alphabetical order with average

party levels. Also in the back of the book are

tables listing the statistics for all the monsters

encountered in this book. This can be re-

moved and used as a reference sheet by the

DM.

should be made.

The

(Average)

listing for the Total Party

Levels is a calculation that should be made at

This is the main body of the adventure and in-

cludes a detailed description of the lair as well

as the monsters' tactics and several separate

the beginning of the adventure by the DM.

This is an indication of the power and type of

creatures a party should be facing. If the party

average falls below or above the listing for the

encounter by more than one, changes should

be made in the encounter.

Experience points appear under three dif-

ferent listings for each encounter:

Total Magic

X.P., Total g.p. X.P.,

and

Monster X.P.

The

Total Magic X.P.

listing deals with the

magical treasures of the encounter. The

Dungeon Masters Guide

experience point val-

ues for the magical items in the adventure are

added into this total. In the case of charged

encounters within the adventure. These en-

counters eventually lead to the climactic battle

in which all is won or lost.

The beginning of this section gives a little

bit of background on the creature(s) and why

this encounter is where it is. Then there is a

short description of the encounter area and

what is there and easily observable. The rest of

the information is the series of encounters the

party will meet when dealing with the crea-

ture listed. Sometimes the end of the en-

counter has a brief listing that can lead the

party to other encounters in

The Book of Lairs.

Encounter Format

The creature featured in each adventure is

listed at the top of the first page of the adven-

ture. Next to the creature name is a number in

parentheses. This is the total number of these

creatures that might be encountered during

the adventure. At the top of the first column

of text is a box that contains general informa-

tion pertinent to the adventure. This box lists

the terrain, total party levels, total magic

X.P., total g.p. X.P., and three degrees of

items, their full charge value has been given in

case the referee wants to make changes in the

encounter and present their players with fully

charged items. It is a simple matter to scale

down this experience if a lesser charged item is

desired.

The

Total g.p. X.P.

listing indicates the to-

tal gold piece value of the encounter. All of

the treasures have been added into this figure

Terms Used in

The Book of Lairs

There is a set of fairly standard terms used

throughout the text of this work that are de-

fined here. Every DM should be familiar with

these terms.

When a new monster is introduced in an

adventure, its statistics are given in the follow-

ing paragraph so that the DM will not have to

thumb through the book looking for the crea-

ture's stats.

IN:

Intelligence represents the reasoning

and learning abilities of a character or crea-

ture.

and appropriate subtractions should be made

if the party does not find all of the treasure.

The

Monster X.P.

entry is computed from

the

Dungeon Masters Guide

listings and a

subjective addition has been made for the

tricks and traps of any given encounter. Three

listings are provided under the monster expe-

rience points. These listings are used by the

DM as the situation merits. The

Kill

listing is

monster X.P.

The

terrain

of the encounter is given at the

top of the box. This gives the type of area the

PCs must be in to encounter this particular

monsters. The adventures appear in terrain

groupings in the table of contents. In this way,

a DM can easily see what adventures are avail-

able for the type of terrain the PCs are cur-

rently journeying through.

The listing for

Total Party Levels

is an aid to

the referee to determine the power of the

group the adventure was designed for. If a

party is larger or smaller than the total party

levels listed, adjustments should be made.

Adjustments can be made in several areas. To

adjust the encounter downward for a weaker

party, several things can be done. In all cases

the creatures found in this book have above

average hit point totals; halving these totals

for a weaker party is one answer. Halving the

damage done by traps is also another solution.

In the case where the encounter must be made

tougher, a simple increase in the number of

creatures can bring the encounter level up to

where it should be. In both of these changes a

modification to the

Monster X.P.

number

used when the players have killed all the crea-

tures in the encounter. The

Defeat

entry is

used in the event the party drives off some of

the creatures or otherwise meets and wins out

over the encounters without causing the death

of all the monsters. The

Retreat

listing is used

if the party made an effort to defeat the crea-

tures in the adventure, but were forced to re-

treat. This last entry enables the DM to

recognize that the party learned from the en-

counter, but just could not quite finish it off.

Every encounter has one to three

Set Up

features. These are bits of information or situ-

ations to help the referee get the party into the

adventure. They can also be used to get the

party back on track if the group has taken an

unplanned tangent and not gone the way the

Dungeon Master thought they would.

This section may also contain information

pertinent to all of the ways the PCs could get

into the adventure (i.e., there may be three

different people or situations that introduce

the PCs to the adventure, but all three would

enable the PCs to gain certain basic informa-

tion).

Following the Set Up is the

Lair

section.

Dexterity deals with a number of

physical attributes from hand-eye coordina-

tion to speed of movement.

Ability Checks

In an effort to simplify life for both players

and DMs, and to give a character's abilities the

importance they deserve, recent TSR®

products have made use of a mechanism for

resolving actions called the

Ability Check.

(e.g., a Wisdom Check, a Dexterity Check,

CH:

Charisma is a combination of a char-

acter's persuasiveness and personal magnetism

and is used if a character gets the chance to

talk.

WS:

Wisdom is a combination of a charac-

ter's judgment, will power, and intuitiveness.

AC:

Armor Class is a measure of how diffi-

cult it is to hit a creature. It reflects the type of

protection worn or inherent protection a crea-

ture has due to its physical or magical nature

or its speed.

*X" = climbing in a web

@X" = climbing in trees

HD:

Hit Dice are used to calculate the

number of hit points a monster has. This

number also determines the THACO of the

creature (see below) and saves of a creature.

hp:

In most cases the hit points of the crea-

tures in this book are near maximum because

these creatures are "superior" versions of their

species.

#AT.

Number of attacks shows the number

of physical attacks the creature is able to make

during a given melee round. The 3 / 2 listing

means a creature can attack once on the odd

melee rounds and twice on the even melee

rounds.

Dmg:

Damage per attack indicates the hit

point range a creature can inflict after a suc-

cessful strike.

THACO:

This is an acronym for "To Hit

Armor Class 0 (zero)." This gives the number

that needs to be rolled on 1d20 for that being

to hit Armor Class 0. To determine whether

the attack hits another Armor Class, subtract

that Armor Class number from the THACO

to see what number needs to be rolled for a

hit. If a creature with a THACO of 15 attacks a

PC with an Armor Class of 4, the creature

needs to roll an 11 (15 - 4) to hit. If the PC is

Armor Class — 3, however, the creature needs

to roll an 18 (15 - [ - 3 ] = 15 + 3)

This number eliminates the need to consult

tables or keep charts for each character. One

simple calculation tells you whether the attack

hits.

You

will find that this calculation quickly

becomes automatic.

SA:

Special Attacks detail such things as

dragon breath, magic use, and the like special

abilities of creatures.

5D: Special Defenses detail things like de-

fensive magic, camouflage abilities, etc. that

must be factored into a fight with that type of

creature.

MR: Magic Resistance is the percentage

chance that a creature is able to ignore the ef-

fects of a spell cast at it.

AL:

Alignment indicates the behavior of

the monster, whether it is of good or evil in-

tent.

etc.), roll 1d20 against the character's appro-

priate ability score. A roll equal to or less than

the appropriate score means the action suc-

ceeded, while a roll greater than the ability

score indicates failure and the character suffers

whatever dire consequences await. Sometimes

an Ability Check enables a character to avoid

all or some of the damage from an attack.

Some actions are especially easy or difficult

and have bonuses or penalties to the ability

score to reflect the level of difficulty.

The Ability Check is a wonderful mecha-

nism for resolving the results of almost any

action. The DM needs to decide which ability

applies to the situation, whether there should

be any modifiers due to circumstances, and

then roll away.

The

Dungeoneer's

Survival Guide

The Book of Lairs

is designed to be a stand-

alone product. You should be able to play an

adventure in this book without consulting any

of the monster manuals or other reference

books (except for spell effects and magical

item effects, which could not be included be-

cause of space constraints).

Nonetheless, this book contains many ref-

erences to rules in the

Dungeoneer's Survival

Guide.

The D5G contains so many new rules

and rules revisions that it was decided to im-

form you of the source of these new rules when

they affect the play of the adventures. It is not

necessary to refer to the D5G for the rules—

they have been included in the text (or simple

substitutes for complex rules have been in-

cluded here). We just thought you would like

to know where all the new rules were coming

from.
