Are you sure that wasn't a nightmare?

Re: Basic Fantasy Field Guide Volume 3
I get that, but octo literally means 8.
Pokemon goes around that by not using the fully octo, like Octillery.
Drow + spider = strider which doesn't make any sense but it's a cool name.
Ockspider? If you don't mind the Spider-man reference.

It was. My nightmares aren't what they used to be though...

Re: Basic Fantasy Field Guide Volume 3
It's what I called it when I woke from the dream. Though now I'm rethinking it... the critters in my dream (plural, there were more than one of them present) had no eyes at all.
EDIT: "Octospider" is what I called it when I woke up. Wasn't sure that was clear.
Leaving the eyes as I like how I handled their ability to detect the invisible.

Hexcore Zombies are creatures that are usually created from dark magics, where their essence is actually trapped within. Be it a shard of consciousness and life, or a fully trapped soul, a hexcore zombie is a dangerous foe. Hags are known to create them, as well as liches and vampires. They use these beings as vanguards for their armies, sometimes to even make strategic decisions for them. Absolutely corrupted, the being trapped within does not hold sway if they have a master. If abandoned, consciousness may develop and the creature might even become intelligent enough for independent thought and personality. Appearance-wise, hexcore zombies may be shrouded in shadows, sometimes illuminated with emerald light, depending on the soul trapped within. Most necromancers agree that the aura comes from the soul energy that emanates from this undead. The skin seems dead but preserved, way more whole and life-like than most other zombies.
All hexcore zombies attack as if their attacks were magical and can only be hurt by magical damage. They can also deal one additional 1d6 damage if both of their attacks hit as the overexposure to the soul energy is quite taxing on both the living and the dead. This damage is doubled if it is inflicted on the undead. They take only half damage from blunt weapons, and only a single point from arrows, bolts or sling stones (plus any magical bonus). Like all undead, they may be Turned by Clerics and are immune to sleep, charm, and hold magics. As they are mindless, no form of mind-reading is of any use against them. Hexcore zombies never fail morale checks, and thus always fight until destroyed.
1 in every 6 hexcore zombies has an entire soul trapped within which grants them 19 AC and 6* HD (555 XP). They are much more developed when it comes to their personality and willpower, and may even disobey commands if they succeed on a save Vs Spell.

Open Game License section should say 2020-2022 after my monsters, as I made some entries this year

Brugh Elf entry, first line of page 13 spelling "rlves" instead of elves.
Query the use of "at-will". Is "at will" better?

Re: Basic Fantasy Field Guide Volume 3
Is Field Guide 3 full-up or still room for more submissions?
I happen to own art for several monsters of my own creation and, as they have no current home in print, thought I might contribute them to the project.

Re: Basic Fantasy Field Guide Volume 3
I think its far from closed, but even if they do not make the cut they could end in another supplement eventually.
Sorry for any misspelling or writing error, I am not a native English speaker
