Additional Option Rules
If you like to use Monster Parts in your game similar to BotW/TotK these should help you get
started.
If you like to drop parts in the way like the video games I recommend every time a Keese
(no matter the kind) is killed you roll a 1d4. 1: Nothing; 2: Eyeball; 3: Wing; 4: Wing and Eyeball
If you rather have them say Harvest parts I recommend: Harvest Monster Part Activity; Time: 1 minute for Tiny, 10 minutes for Small and Medium, 20 minutes for Large and 30 or more
minutes for Gargantuan. Require Appropriate Tool like a knife. The Harvester makes a Survival
Check or Appropriate Lore Skill vs DC based on the creature’s level and rarity. GM may ignore
rarity if the deam a character familiar enough with the subject being harvested. Critical Failure
The body being harvested has been damaged beyond any further part recovery. Failure No parts
recovered but can try again. Success Common parts or parts are recovered. Critical Succuss
A common part(s) are recovered along with a uncommon part. As long as the body belong to a
monster bigger then Tiny someone else may Aid in this check and at GM discretion may double
the activity’s time to increase the number of parts recovered. Additional a GM may allow additional
attempts to harvest parts until all usable parts are collected or a Critical Failure is rolled but the
DC should go up by 2 each time. For the kreese I recommend letting a player chose between an
eyeball or a wing on a Success and getting both on a Critical Success.
Using Keese Parts: A Keese monster part may be attached to a piece of ammo or a weapon with
the thrown property following the rules for attaching a talisman and take up the same space.
A Keese eyeball gives a +1 to range attack it used on in the first two range increments; a Keese
wing reduces range penalty of the second range increment by 1. Elemental Keese parts do the
same thing except the target if hit is subject to the Keese’s approite aura effect but the DC is
your class DC and the failure damage is equal to your weapon’s damage dice amount and
critical failure double that.
