The Horrors of Art: Blanks

 

by Stephen Gammell

Blanks were first created when a gifted artist poured too much of himself into a painting, leaving an empty space in the fabric of reality. Blanks are a bleached, bottomless void on the canvas of the universe, vainly seeking the color and substance forever lost to them.

Blank: Thin, blurry, paper-white figures, with black smears for eyes and mouths. Sound like rustling leaves or pages. Never speak. Try to drag humans down to their level. Stalk abandoned galleries and libraries. HD 3, Atk. Paper-Cut (1d6 damage, Drain).  

Dark-Vision: Sees in Low Light and Darkness as if in Bright Light.  

Two-Dimensional: Invisible if standing still and sideways to onlookers. Can slip through cracks of suitable length.  

Damage Immunity: Only damaged by magic.  

Drain: Touch drains color and depth from target, reducing their Max HP by the damage dealt. If a target’s Max HP drops to 0, from this attack, they become a blank.  

Art Vulnerability: If blanks touch a piece of 2-D art which gives the impression of a 3-D space, they become trapped within it until the piece is destroyed.
