Leveller (Bodendruker)
by John Walter BilesThe Leveller resembles a double-normal sized elephant, if elephants had eight trunks, extremely long tusks, and were sickly green in colour. Its legs flare out at the bottom as it was wearing bellbottoms. As it moves, it leaves the ground pounded flat. Bodendrukers are able to set up vibrations in the ground which will drive burrowing creatures to the surface to be devoured. Given the scale of the Bodendruker, this means eating Purple Worms, Bulettes, Ankheg, etc. Its resemblance to normal elephants and its sheer size make some suspect the work of the wizard Gargantua, but nothing can be proven.

M Trample (standard; Refresh 4-6)
The Leveller takes a full move; at some point during that move, he makes an attack on his chosen target and then can keep going with the rest of his movement. He draws no opportunity attacks from the target for this movement but may draw them from others. +29 vs. Reflex; 5d10+9 damage, prone, and stunned (save ends). This counts as a charge action.

My Stomping Brings All the Purple Worms in the Yard. My Stomping is Better Than Yours. (standard; Refresh 6)
This attack will be felt for miles by creatures with tremorsense and usually brings them to investigate. Levellers like to use this to draw Purple Worms and other burrowing creatures to the surface. It does double damage to any creature with tremorsense who is actually IN the radius. Close Burst 5; +29 vs. Fortitude; 4d10+9 and prone (save)
