** 1d4 [[Crafting items#Ingredient items|Sickle blades]]
* '''Shape-shifter (Friendly)''': This creature has the ability to disguise itself as another creature, taking on their appearance, clothing, armor, and LBE (but not weapons, items, or skills). Below is their standard strategy.
** This creature typically does not appear in its natural form and will be encountered appearing as a random sapient species ('''&creature-civ''' + corresponding occupation)
** This creature generally begins by appearing friendly or otherwise outgoing, and will try to get other people or adventurers to approach them for light conversation.
** The GM may roll a Negotiation skill check on behalf of this creature to check if they convince their target.
*** If they are successful, this target can [[combat mode|initiate combat ]] immediately and attack . If they do so, they have the target without retaliation first turn to themselves (the target does not get to act on the first no other creature can attack that turn).
*** This creature will prioritize using one of its most powerful techniques, depending on the target's armor. If it doesn't immediately kill the target, this creature will flee at the first opportunity.
*** If attacked before they de-transform, they will prioritize fleeing and may only fight if backed into a corner.
