Originally fairies from Ireland, Leprechauns have the ability to create convincing false coinage that lasts for 1d6 hours. They are intelligent and varied creatures, but tend toward slightly eccentric, mischievous behaviours.

Hogwarts RPG Species: Kneazle
Oct 2nd, 2009 by ambrose

So, before I publish stock stats for a hyperintelligent cat, I’d like to apologize for the addition of banner advertising to the site temporarily. I went out of my way to be unobtrusive about it, but my roommate owes me 420 dollars. Blame her.

Kneazle

A Kneazle is a magical creature, similar to a cat in appearance. They have spotted, speckled or flecked fur, large ears and a lightly plumed tail, like a lion. They make excellent pets if they like a witch or wizard. They are very intelligent, independent and occasionally aggressive, and have an uncanny ability to detect suspicious and distrustful people. They can also safely guide their owner home.

Attributes

3 Health

  • STR: 1
  • WIL: 5
  • INT: 4
  • SOC: 1

Ability:

(+3) Detect Lies(Intelligenece Based, Roll greater than opposed Social roll to succeed): A kneazle has an uncanny ability to detect liars, and can easily spot all but the best decievers. The Headmaster rolls this skill whenever a lie is told within earshot of a kneazle in game.

(+1) Spot Device(Intelligence Based, Roll greater than 10 to succeed) Kneazles are very perceptive, intelligent creatures and gain a bonus to spot concealed devices, such as the knot on the whomping willow.

(+3) Social: A kneazle has a social score of 4 when dealing with other animals, but a social score of one when dealing with humans.
