Bestiary Index

Exploits.  Exploits which require an action on the creature's part have the required number of actions noted in parenthesis after the exploit name. If (0) is noted, an action is required, but it is a free action. If (m) is noted, it is a free action which modifies an existing action (usually a pay exploit). If there is no parenthetical note, it does not require an action, and may be a trait or details about an automatic effect. Attacks are similarly noted, although no notation is required for an attack which takes one action.

Scaling. Monsters can be easily scaled up and down. The notation for this is monster name (+/-xd6; size).  See Creating NPCs & Monsters for details.

Mooks. All non-unique creatures have a mook version.  The mook version of a creature has 1 HEALTH and is immune to critical hits. Mooks are designed to be used in large numbers and eliminated easily. A mook version is denoted by the word (mook) in parenthesis. Mooks should never be higher grade than the PCs.

Browse the Bestiary by using the Bestiary dropdown menu to view different categories of creatures. This page lists all creatures by name and maximum dice pool.

Because WOIN is a tactical game with fairly flat advancement, combat challenges can be very situational. A change in tactics or a clever idea can change a tough encounter into an easy one. It is also important to note that ranged weaponry against a creature with no ranged attacks creates a massive tactical advantage and can make many tough fights very easy.  

Looking at the maximum dice pool of a creature - which is simply the largest dice pool in their stat block - will give an idea of how a creature compares to the PCs' maximum dice pool (as determined by their grade). The suitable grade range is a suggestion, and indicates what grade characters should be to challenge this creature. However, this is more art than science.  

Some monsters have unusual abilities or traits which makes them more of a challenge than their maximum dice pool would suggest, such as flight, regeneration, extensive immunities, incorporeality, and so on.

Note that experience points are awarded depending how tough an encounter actually turned out to be, not how tough a formula predicts it should be.

Note that abilities and traits derived from a creature's descriptor (size, sentience, virtue, classification) are not specifically called out as exploits, although they are incorporated into the statblock where appropriate. See making monsters for details on descriptors.

This WRRD includes stat blocks only; it does not include monster descriptions and other material.
