Monsters

The 88 kinds of monster that roam the sixteen depths, family by family. Bosses and named monsters are on Bosses.

Reading the cards #

Depths: Where the kind spawns. Each level draws its kinds at random from those that may live on it, so one visit shows only some of them. The Depths lists them depth by depth.
Level: Raises its chance to hit you and the experience it gives, and lowers your chance to block it.
Life: What you face in single player: half the hit points of the original tables, rounded down as the game's own monster info shows it.
Armour: Lowers your chance to hit it.
To-hit: Its melee blows land with this chance in percent: to-hit + 30 + 2 × (its level − your level) − your armour, but never below 15% (20%, 25% and 30% on depths 14, 15 and 16).
Damage: Per hit, melee or missile. A melee hit always costs you at least 1 life.
Special, Charge: A second attack some kinds use (only shown when it does damage). A charge lands whatever your armour; only a block stops it.
Experience: Before the level difference: you gain 10% more for each level the monster is above yours and 10% less for each level below.
Resistances: A resistance cuts that element's damage to a quarter, an immunity stops it. Hell gives many kinds stronger resistances.

Monster classes #

Every monster is Undead, Animal or Demon. The class decides which weapons and spells work best against it.

Class	Kinds	In combat
Undead	16	Maces deal half again as much damage, swords half as much. Holy Bolt hurts only the undead (and Vorthax); every other monster is immune to it. The Necromancer can't raise an undead corpse as a zombie.
Animal	23	Swords deal half again as much damage, maces half as much.
Demon	49	Weapons with triple damage against demons deal triple damage, in melee and with arrows: Exorcist's Arc, Demonsunder and Censer of Wrath.

The sword and mace rule counts the weapon in your hands and works on melee blows. Maces: Mace, Morning Star, War Hammer, Spiked Club, Club, Flail, Maul. Swords: Dagger, Short Sword, Falchion, Scimitar, Claymore, Blade, Sabre, Long Sword, Broad Sword, Bastard Sword, Two-Handed Sword, Great Sword.

Nightmare and Hell #

Slay Vorthax and the same hero may descend again into a new world on Nightmare, and after that on Hell. Every monster is rebuilt by these rules (each card shows the results):

	Nightmare	Hell
Life	× 3, then + 100	× 4, then + 200
Damage	× 2, then + 4	× 4, then + 6
Armour	+ 50	+ 80
To-hit	+ 85	+ 120
Level	+ 15	+ 30
Experience	+ 1,000, then × 2	+ 1,000, then × 4
Resistances	as on Normal	the kind's Hell resistances

Life is scaled after single player halves it. Unique monsters scale the same way but keep their own resistances on every difficulty; see Bosses.

Elite packs #

Every dungeon level also hides elite packs: 3–4 monsters of one of the level's kinds, marked by an aura and sharing one or more modifiers, with 3 times the life and better loot. There are 1–3 packs on a level on Normal, more on Nightmare and Hell. The modifiers and the rest of the rules are on Mechanics: elite packs.

Zombies #

Slow, witless corpses of the abbey's dead. 4 kinds, depths 1–5. All Undead. Every kind is immune to magic.
