Core Codex – Crafted Generic Opponents in MeG

Here is a set of opponents for Mythras Encounter Generator crafted using the Pyramid method from Mythras Companion. The idea is that on this tag (Core Codex) the opponents use exactly the culture and career skills from RAW when generating an encounter for the specific culture and career using Pyramid method. The skills that are enhanced as follows

  • 50 (30+4d10)
  • two skills 20+4d10
  • three skills 10+4d10
  • four skills 4d10
  • five skills 2d10

The skills are the once that would be most “suitable” to enhance for a career in this culture (this is of course always a judgment issue).

After this each of the skills the opponent has are enhanced first with 2d10 to reflect generic NPC history development.

The combat styles are given that would be suitable for this combo if any. The combo might have multiple that are selected randomly, might even have two combat styles. This should give a varied examples of combat style traits into your campaign.

The weapon choices are given that would be suitable for this profession in generic fantasy campaign.

The passions are then given that would be suitable for this culture/career combo. After that the description for a flavour is added.

Each of the Core Codex members are given folk magic and a random selection of spells suitable for the profession.

There will be more of these Core Codex members later – eventually all the profession pairs might be gathered.

This set could be used to clone a campaign specific civilized rogue instead of this generic civilized rogue.

With this method – some of the opponents reach master level and most reach veteran level. If you need lesser opponents adjust the skills by minus 20% to reach entry level opponents.

You can find these from the home page by writing tag name Core codex into search line.

What are the Official RAW Creatures in MeG – part 1

At end of January 2025 we have more than 4500 encounters in MeG. How would I find what are the official encounter templates in the MeG. The creatures in MeG are crowdsourced and they might have been created way long in the past. To help searcher find all the ones which create a similar level of encounter than in the RAW creatures chapter – I went thru all my creations.

Now all of those you find with tag: “Raw official” and creator is hkokko should be the ones most closely creating one from the Core rules.

At the same time I fine-tuned the encounter to provide a bit more variety and added a few missing features and creatures.

Here are the new ones:

  • Alligator, Young Adult
  • Chaos Hybrid
  • Cyclops
  • Deinosuchus
  • Dwarf
  • All elementals size 3
  • Elf
  • Goblin
  • Orc
  • Lizardman/Ophidian

Here is the full list. You can get it by taping Raw official on the home page search field.
