HARLEQUIN ASSASSIN DANCERS. Dangerous opponents indeed. (Lab lord / osr)



Whether they come from this world or another place entirely is uncertain, for they are difficult to engage with any lucidity if at all. Few live who have seen their faces to vouch for their humanity.

Little is known of these sequined spiral dancers for their motivations are inscrutable.  What is certain is that they possess an otherworldly air and detachment, and that they are some of the most dangerous opponents engaged in the great game that surrounds the Shining Trapezohedron.

No. Enc.: 1d12 (2d10)
Alignment: Chaotic
Movement: 150 (50)
Armor Class: 4
Hit Dice: 4 + 1
Attacks: 1 ranged or melee, by weapon or special. They usually use blades but these may be any kind from daggers to greatswords. There is a base 25% chance that each melee weapon is equivalent to a +1 weapon and a 5% chance it is +2.
Damage: By weapon or see below
Save: F7
Morale: 10 if the objective seems obtainable, if it becomes clear that no effort can succeed they will leave.
Hoard Class: custom
XP: As Ogre Mage

  • Uncanny Dodge and dodge missiles as a monk as Monk/Mystic
  •  Immune to Charm, ESP, Mind Control (do they even have minds as we do?)
  • May not be held if they are ‘dancing’ (melee combat),
  • Supreme leaping and tumbling:  May move through occupied space provided there is physical room to realistically do so.
  • One spell of first or second level. E.g. Hypnotism, Mirror image, Change Self, Phantasmal Force, Invisibility
  • Harlequin Assassins surprise on 1-4 on d6. (yes scarier than a ranger)
  • Harlequin Assassin Dance (in your face Backstab):  Although a Harlequin Assassin is perfectly capable of backstabbing if the target is unaware, even when in plain sight their strange movements give them a chance to surprise an opponent the first time that Harlequin attacks that person in melee combat.  The mechanic is that the target rolls for surprise (1-4 on d6) and if ‘surprised’ then the harlequin may backstab.
  • FOR UBER SCARY CAMPAIGNS ONLY : The harlequin assassin has a % chance of killing when successfully attacking with a backstab as a fourth level assassin.

Harlequin Outfit.  Gives the wearer the effect of blur. Killing a Harlequin might damage the suit.


Harlequin Razor Pistol.  The antique looking firearms have an ammunition capacity of 2 or 3, do damage 2d6 and look very John Blanche.

  1. Vampires is not at all like in the movies or books. Sure, I understand. You are young you have the whole world open to you. You can be anything that you choose if you apply yourself and try hard to work toward that goal. But being a Vampire is not what it seems like. It’s a life full of good, and amazing things. We are as human as you are.. It’s not what you are that counts, But how you choose to be. Do you want a life full of interesting things? Do you want to have power and influence over others? To be charming and desirable? To have wealth, health, and longevity, I can help you solve any problem you are having
