These are rules for playing Waggamaephs in Tunnels and Trolls, the Delux Edition. The general description of Waggamaephs can be found here.

There are two types of Waggamaeph. The stat blocks for each are as follows:

Hill Maeph: Str: 1, Con: 1.25, Dex: 2, Lk: 1, IQ: .9, Wiz: .5, SP: 2 Chr: .9

Height: .6, Weight: .7

Language(s): Hill Maephs speak speak the wild Tongue (or its closest equivalent).

Valley Maeph: Str: .75, Con: .9, Dex: 2, Lk: 1.1, IQ: .9, Wiz: .5, Sp: 2.5, Chr: 1.25

Language(s): Valley Maephs speak speak the wild Tongue (or its closest equivalent).

(Note that Speed does not seem to be modified based on kindred stats in official publications, so this stat block seems to defy the conventional approach to attributes in T&T, but speed (including both reflexes and rate of movement across the ground) is central to the concept of a Waggamaeph, so we are applying it here anyway.)

Special Qualities:

1) Waggamaephs never use equipment or weapons. Theoretically, they can, but it never seems to occur to them to do so. If told to, they will stop unless continually reminded. A Waggamaeph in armor is immediately reduced to half speed and suffers a penalty to all die rolls equal to the bonus of the armor. It’s pathetic.

2) Waggamaephs can move at twice the distance of a human across land for Hill Maephs or 2.5 times the distance for Valley Maephs.

3) Waggamaephs are very forgetful. They cannot be expected to maintain a specific position in a combat formation, so their position relative to other characters is always random. They can be asked to stand a watch, but there is no guarantee they will stay put or focus on their guard duties.

4) Waggamaephs are treated as having a strength multiplier equal to their level for purposes of unarmed combat.

5a) Hill Maephs have 4 points of natural armor.

5b) Valley Maephs have 2 points of natural armor.

Standard Monster Rating: 30.
