On the Interdimensional Invasion

A Annecetere and Cruori touched boar

Planetouched creatures are touched from energies that originate in the interdimensions.

There are five interdimensions:

Annecetere - plane of constant motion and change
Metallon - plane of dense order and mechanism
Cruori - Plane of blood and growth
Mintis - plane of knowledge and lightning
Skadus - plane of darkness and suffering

These are the crux, all matter in the inter-dimensional space rests somewhere between two or more poles of the crux.

How does this work?

Roll 2d6

1. Annecetere (nexus)
2. Metallon (machine)
3. Cruori (blood)
4. Mintis (mind)
5. Skadus (shade)
6. Roll Twice

Apply these templates depending on the results. If you get doubles, the creature is only affected by 1 plane, but double the effects. If you roll six, the creature will be affected by 3 planes.  if you roll double sixes the creature has a MMMMMMMONSTER SURGE, and gets all five applied. If you roll an attribute twice, double it up. For example 25% MR becomes 50% MR. Stats in () apply to 3.x games, stats before apply to old school games. All effects stack.

+ 2 Hit Die
+ 1 on all damage rolls
- 4 on reaction rolls - will never be friendly, often hostile.
