Unicorn 5 (15)

Lost Company Press

Shrouded in mystery and splendor, the Unicorn is a symbol of purity, its silvery mane and tail shimmering with an ethereal light. Grace personified, it moves with a serene elegance, and its singular, twisted horn gleams with an inner magic. They are solitary by nature, preferring the cover of enchanted forests or mystical glades. Despite their calm demeanor, unicorns will fiercely protect their domain and those they deem innocent.

Motive: Preservation of purity and defense of the mystical domain

Environment: Enchanted forests and mystical glades (Forest)

Health: 15

Damage: 5 points

Armor: 2

Movement: Short

Modifications: Intimidation and persuasion as level 6; Speed defense as level 7 due to agility

Combat: When angered, the Unicorn's horn glows brightly, and it charges with precision. Its horn can pierce through illusions and magical protections, neutralizing enchantment effects on its target. If the Unicorn targets a foe with a malign intent, the opponent must succeed on an Intellect defense roll or be stunned for a round, overwhelmed by the purity of the Unicorn.

• Charge of Purity: Once per battle, the Unicorn charges an opponent, inflicting an additional minor wound (3 points) and potentially dispelling illusions or magical effects on impact.
• Healing Presence: Once per day, the Unicorn can heal a wounded creature by touching it with its horn, restoring up to 6 points of health.
• Mystic Shield: The Unicorn can activate a magical shield around one chosen ally or itself, granting an asset to Speed defense tasks for the next three rounds.

Interactions: Unicorns can sense the nature of beings, showing affinity to the pure of heart. While often avoiding contact, they may aid or communicate telepathically with those they find worthy.

Uses: The presence of a Unicorn in a once-cursed forest is a sign of restoration. It is the guardian of rebirth for natural splendor lost to darkness.

Loot: A Unicorn's mane contains strands that can be woven into enchantments, while its horn has potent alchemical properties if one could ever be obtained.

GM Intrusion: The glowing horn of the Unicorn unexpectedly unleashes a burst of purifying energy, causing harmful flora or fauna concealed nearby to recoil or even wither.
