Enforcers are large creatures that have a tough outer skin, giving them a natural ability to withstand damage. The protection is equal to a stoneskin spell (4th level wizard spell). They look tough and they are. They have excpetional strength (a 20) giving them +3 to hit and +8 to damage.

Combat: When an enforcer is encountered a save vs. spell must be rolled. If the roll is made there is no effect, if not the player is awed by the enforcer giving him automatic inniative. For every enforcer present the save is reduced by one point. Enforcers will usually use a weapon like an battle axe, or war hammer, but have been known to use swords, tree trunks and bare hands. They will attack by whatever stratagy they deem to be fitting to the situation. even using suprise if the opportunity presents itself, Because of there size they are -3 to hit if attempting to grapple an opponent.

If an enforcer gazes on an opponent they must save vs. spell or run in fear for 4d6 rounds.

Habitat/Society: Enforcers are usually creatures of opportunity. They are most likely to be encountered guarding something or someone, hunting down some one, or more generally in the service of some powerful mage, usually seeking revenge on some poor soul. They have no regard for life, not even there own. They care not for the day to day life of others and usually stay to thire own kind, unless there is profit in it for them. They dont carry any money or treasure because if they want something they just take it from whoever they encounter. Once hired for a job they will carry out thire orders to a tee, rarely getting side tracked. If they do they will always complete thire assigned task. And they will ALWAYS return for thire pay. Enforcers dont have any social structure, each enforcer is self sufficient. No females have ever been encountered, and nothing of an enforcers adolesent years is known.

Ecology: Enforcers will and do eat anything. There is a good chance that there will be small treasures in thire bellies from eating hapless travelers. Also thire teeth may be capped with gold from chewing on coins.
