Animal, Mutated
Mutated animals exist in the world due to several factors including
evolution, genetic manipulation, and radiation from the Great War.
Though radiation is a deadly threat, it spurs on genetic mutation which is
the driving force behind genetic variation. The filter of natural selection
removes negative mutations from the gene pool; leaving only those
changes which help a species survive. A mutated animal has adapted to
its environment, becoming stronger than its normal animal counterpart.
Sometimes the mutated animals base animal cannot even be identified,
beyond the observation that its a big lizard or some other descriptive
term thereof.
Mutant animals tend to be physically healthy and fully functional,
but they also tend to exhibit deformed or grotesque cosmetic features.
Sometimes mutant animals exhibit truly strange traits as additional
eyes, extra (non-functioning) limbs, bone spurs, etc.

Construct
A construct is an artificially constructed creature, such as a
robot. Before the Exodus, man created technical marvels
that did nearly any task that humanity could
accomplish from building and cleaning to war.
Some of these creations survived the EMP of
the nuclear explosions and are used by man
in the wasteland. Some constructs have
also evolved or gone rogue under a strict
set of directives that they follows.
Hit Die: d12.
Base Attack Bonus: CR +0.5
Saving Throws: CR 0.5
Skill Points: None, unless programmed

Feats: None, unless programmed (programmed 1 per 4 Hit Dice).
Constructs Traits:
Weapon and Armor Proficiency: Constructs are not proficient with weapons or armor unless programmed.
Ability Scores: Constructs have no Constitution score and usually no Intelligence, Wisdom, or Charisma scores,
instead following a directive of commands.
Extra Hit Points: Constructs gain extra hit points according to size, as shown on chart below.
Darkvision: Most constructs have darkvision (60 feet).
Immunities: Constructs are immune to mind-influencing effects and to poison, sleep, paralysis, stunning, disease,
and any effect that requires a Fortitude save unless the effect also works on objects or is harmless. They are not
subject to critical hits, nonlethal damage, ability damage, or the effects of massive damage.
Repairable: Constructs cannot heal damage on their own but can be repaired using the Repair skill. A successful
Repair check (DC 30) heals 1d10 points of damage to a construct, and each check represents 1 hour of work. A
construct reduced to 0 hit points is immediately destroyed and cannot be repaired.

Plant
A plant is a vegetable creature that can be found in soil
or bodies of water. Plant life after the Exodus was nearly
eradicated with the exception of some weeds that mutated
into dangerous plants. The only plant life to survive was
in the underground bunkers and fallout shelters that man
cultivated in gardens to survive. Some of these plants have
been transplanted into the wasteland, but few survive in the
contaminated soil.

Creature Types
Vermin, Radioactive
Radioactive Vermin includes insects, arachnids, other arthropods,
worms, and similar invertebrates that have mutated due to the
radioactive fallout from the Great War. These vermin have grown to
giant-sized versions of the normal creatures. Unlike other invertebrates,
these creatures can force air in and out of their bodies, breathing in a
manner that means their larger bodies will not starve for oxygen.

in the table below. The Overseer chooses his creature save
options upon creation according to the chart below, with
each of the three saves designated by him as corresponding
to one of the Save columns. Once the Save option is chosen,
the creature follows this Save progression per Hit Dice. The
columns listed below are not set in stone for a particular

Average Party Level (APL): To determine APL, add together all of the player character levels
including any animals CR (that is not an Advanced Class feature) or NPCs that are aiding the
characters, and divide by the number of characters, assisting creatures, and NPC to determine the APL
of the group. APL plays a factor in the number of Creature XP earned, and represents the challenge
presented by the group.
Challenging the players can be a difficult balancing act based on the genetic makeup of the group. The
following chart details the levels of challenge that the character can face and the expected outcome of an
average combat encounter.

CREATURE EXPERIENCE
Creature Experience (XP) is a reward player characters receive when a creature encounter is defeated. All
XP earned goes toward a character race level as detailed in the revised EXSG. Exodus uses a different
form of experience than the 3/3.5 D&D Dungeon Masters Guide or d20 Modern Core Rulebooks (the
experience mechanic in these two core rulebooks may be used in place of what is presented below).
Each creature in Exodus has an experience value listed in the creatures statistic block entry. The
formula for new creations and evolved creatures is the same.
Creature XP = CEL (plus/minus difference of APL) times total HP of the creatures or NPCs
Example 1: Four player characters, of 1st level (APL 1), are attacked by a group of four medium-
sized canines (CEL 4), while exploring the wasteland. The characters are successful in defeating
the canines (13 hp) in combat. The canines experience point value for the encounter equals
(4 CEL plus (4 CEL 1 APL) times (13 hp times 4 creatures)) 4+3 x 52 = 364 XP gained for the
characters to split.
Example 2: Four player characters, of 14th level (APL 14), are attacked by a Meatclaw Lizard
(CEL/CR 12) while exploring a radioactive toxic waste dump (CEL +1). The characters manage
to defeat the Meatclaw (115 hp) in combat. The combat experience points value for the
encounter equals (13 minus 1 times 115) 1380 XP gained for the characters to split.
When gaining Experience Points, all characters that are actively involved in the conflict receive an
equal spilt of the XP. This is done by dividing the total number of XP earned by the number of
characters figured into the APL.

This chapter serves to provide an Overseer with a wide
variety of nasty creatures with which to populate the
Wastelands. Aside from dozens and dozens of ready-made
creatures, there are also templates and new creature types
that an Overseer can use to create unique monsters or beef
up existing creatures. The critters detailed below are all
suitable for a campaign set in the deep wastes or urban
ruins of the Exodus world. The Overseer is encouraged to
pick and choose from among these entries in order to create
a set of creatures that is both appropriate to the level of the
player characters and consistent with the mood, style, and
theme of your Exodus campaign.

two feet in diameter with two short antennae protruding
from the sides. They hover roughly 6 to 8 feet off of the
ground and make low beeps and crackling static noises.

REDWOOD
PUMA
Physical Description
Redwood Pumas are regular pumas gone really, really bad.
About the size of a rhinoceros and covered with dense,
shaggy fur, Redwood pumas look less like cats and more like
some kind of Paleolithic nightmare. This muscular beast
measures four feet tall at the shoulder and can weigh up to
six hundred pounds.
Ecology
The redwood puma inhabits the redwood forests of its
namesake. It feeds on large prey animals like deer, elk and
stray livestock, though hunger often drives the pumas to
expand their territory deep into areas traversed by humans.
Redwood pumas are solitary hunters who roam well defined
territories in search of prey. Though they are named after
the redwood forests of California, these creatures are
adaptable and can survive in almost any environment. It is
the redwood pumas generalist nature that has allowed it to
spread across the southwest wastelands. RedwoodPuma(CR5)

Ecology
A ferret hunts for small prey, animals that
are eaten whole; fur, feathers, bones and
all. They can be very territorial and are
often found hunting through urban ruins.
Ferrets are fearless creatures that will
attack a human or dog if cornered. Ferrets
can be trained to attack or hunt but will not
learn any other tricks. These animals have a
natural tendency to steal away small items
that they hide near their burrows.
Species Traits

it uses its powerful jaws to latch onto the

bite damage each round it remains attached.
An attached ferret loses its Dexterity bonus

SASQUATCH
Physical Description
A sasquatch is a humanoid creature that stands 8 to
10 feet tall and weighs about 300 pounds. It has
long, tawny fur and beady black eyes. A sasquatch
has an oppressive, bestial stink that frightens
domestic animals.
Ecology
Sasquatches are actually failed genetic experiments that
were left over from the Trans-Genetic Warrior project.
A combination of human and gorilla DNA was used to
create a new species of primate that now inhabits the
wilds of the Pacific Northwest. Sasquatches are territorial
omnivores that live together in small family units in
dense forested areas. The diet of the sasquatch
consists mainly of meat jerky (Jerk-Links being a
favorite) and rodents. The creatures supplement
this diet with insects, fish, and occasionally
plant or vegetable. These creatures display
a wide range of individual personalities and
behaviors; some sasquatches are friendly,
others are shy, some are aggressive, others
fearful.

YETI
Physical Description
A yeti is a large, white-furred, human-shaped creature
that stands about 8 feet tall and weighs approximately
300 pounds. Its long fur is heaviest around the head and
shoulders, and its hands and feet are wide and flat. Layers
of fat insulate its body, allowing it to survive and even thrive
in subzero conditions. Although a yeti can stand and walk
upright, it tends to hunch over and use its hands and feet,
in the manner of a gorilla, to navigate ice floes and rocky
terrain. Its eyes are either blue or colorless, and it has an
extra pair of transparent eyelids that allow it to see even in
blowing snow.
Ecology
Yetis are genetically modified humans who were created by
the Trans-Genetic Warrior Project. Designed for warfare in
the extreme cold, the yeti test subjects escaped from their
handlers and established a colony in the Rocky Mountains.
Yetis are omnivores who sometimes attack humans for food
if no other game is available.
The yetis tend to travel in mated pairs. Members of a colony
peacefully share the same territory but make little contact
with each other outside of mating. A group of young males
may form a bachelor troop but this social structure slowly
breaks down as the yeti find mates and start families. Young
yetis are dependent on their parents for a long period
of time, leaving the safety of the family around the age of
twelve. AbominableSnowman(CR7)

Species Traits
Cold Species: A yeti is immune to cold damage. It takes
50% more damage from fire attacks.
Constrict: A yeti deals normal claw damage (treat as
bludgeoning damage) plus 2d6 points of cold damage
with a successful grapple check against a target at least
one size category smaller than itself.
Darkvision: A yeti can see in the dark up to 60 feet.
Darkvision is black and white only, but it is otherwise
like normal sight, and the yeti can function with no
light at all.
Improved Grab: To use this ability, the yeti must
hit an opponent at least one size category smaller
than itself with its claw attack. If it gets a hold, it
automatically deals claw damage each round that the
hold is maintained, and it can constrict in the same
round.
Skill Bonus: The yetis white fur grants it a +15
species bonus on Hide checks made in snowy
conditions.
