I love the idea of shock troops of the egg. I pictured kinda techno clockwork Borg like kinda things. The description of the Qullan sounds a lot less promising though and reminded me an awful lot of these guys:

Nifty! :D
I don't know how extra-sharp swords give a bonus 'to hit'. :? A bonus to damage is more logical.
The 'confusion aura' reminded me a lot of the description of Marfeldt the Barbarian
("the numbness of mind that seems to afflict those who converse with the Barbarian", FFC, p. 15). That coupled with the reference to revulsion (ibid.) must be akin to the Qullans' aura.
That Achilles' Heel is mighty odd. Kind of a 'glass jaw' type of thing!

Qullans are from the 1st edition Fiend Folio. Aside from their original White Dwarf appearance, they pretty much only appeared there and in LGJ #4.

I have overthought the idea. I would like to have them look like this:

That's the first picture of Santa Clause in armor I've ever seen! :twisted: :P

@rip: Thanks! :D Serves me right for not being as familiar with the FF as I am the other AD&D books. :oops:

At the end of the Brute Man Wars, those savages who had been corrupted by Chaos were destroyed. Or so it was thought. Some remained hidden in caves, praying for the day when the Cthonian Overlords would once again return. These men became known as the Qullan. In recent decades many of these have been drawn to the Realm of the Egg where their abilities have been boosted through the infusion of Infernal Blood into their veins.
