Ecology: Also known as “urshan” boatmen are supposedly born from the union of a man and a seawitch. They dwell in lakes, marshes, and rivers, where they offer to ferry travelers to the far side. They’re also known to hide among more legitimate ferrymen, finding safety in sheer numbers, but this is rare. Boatman taken passengers in order to feed on them, eventually downing them and raising them as undead progeny (use the zombie character sheet from the HERO System Bestiary to create a progeny).
Personality/Motivation: Virtually all boatmen have a weakness for bargains and deals. If asked to haggle over the price of passage, the boatman will not attack, but instead put of his passengers imminent demise for a minute, or until a deal has been reached. The boatman will only accept the offer of some object of monetary or sentimental value, nothing else will do (GMs should have the boatman select something he could see as his victim entered the boat). Once the deal is reached, the boatman will abide by it for 24 hours, then he is free to do as he pleases.
Powers/Tactics: Boatmen usually appear as elderly ferrymen with a small boat. They’ll offer their services to a likely victim (usually found via Clairsentience) and then once he’s aboard, drop their disguise and sink the boat out in the middle of whatever body of water is being crossed. At the same time, the boatman will summon a could of fog and call forth his progeny to drag his victim under the water to be slain.
If pressed into hand-to-hand combat, the boatman will strike out with his hands, as the mere touch of a boatman can kill. They also can detect thoughts (also used to select victims) and create Divining Coins and use them to locate victims and hunting grounds. They are usually accompanied by 2-6 progeny.
Appearance: Boatmen appeared as twisted humanoids with long lank hair and breath that smells of the sea.
Designer's Notes: The Boatman’s 12 COM is debatable and might represent what it looks like in its shape-shifted form. Game Masters might want to drop is COM down to 6 and allow it to use its Images to make itself look more attractive/human.
The Boatman is found in the Monsternomicon V3.5, from Privateer Press. The Monsternomicon describes creatures from Privateer Press's Iron Kingdom's setting. This character sheet was developed based on material found on Killer Shrike's D&D 3e to HERO conversion webpage (http://www.killershrike.com/FantasyHERO/Conversion3e/ConversionDMtoGM.aspx).
