The Black Reaver
converted from Rolemaster to AD&D
By Ed Hrzic and John Marley
-----------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE: When we translated the Black Reaver over to AD&D, we added
a few "extras" (marked *) to make it better than a Death Knight.
We used the Data Con RPG Conversion Charts as well as the
conversion charts from Rolemaster.

The Black Reaver is a fearsome warrior, and a destructive
opponent. They are nearly immune to magic, and pursue their prey
without stopping.
COMBAT: The Black Reaver is always equipped with a black,
hooked battle axe (+5), and wears black full plate armor (+5)
with cape and helmet. The only thing seen inside of the helmet
are two burning, red eyes. * The Reaver is immune to all charm,
sleep and other mind-affecting spells, as well as those spells
that affect movement, and the Reaver has all normal undead
immunities. In addition, it saves on a roll of 2 or better on
all its saving throws. It causes fear in all those that see it
at -4. Those who roll a 1 or lower suffer a heart attack and die
upon the spot. Once per round, the Reaver can either cast
Fireball, Lightning Bolt or Slay Living at 30th level
proficiency. The Reaver can regenerate 5 hp per round.
HABITAT/SOCIETY: The Black Reaver was originally an undead or
greater lycanthrope, but possessed by a greater daemon. It is
usually assigned/ordered to guard a specific treasure or door.
It moves slowly, but relentlessly. It does not require food,
water or air to survive.
ECOLOGY: Black Reavers are what all little Death Knights want
to be when they grow up.
