Doomchild

Doomchilds, or doomchildren, are small, volatile demons who congregate in rowdy mobs.Dungeon Fantasy 2: Dungeons, p.22 Their main traits are their bizarre strength, rapid speed, fragile nature, and tendency to explode upon death.Essentially guaranteed without magical dampening
== Counter Tactics ==
* Doomchilds tend to move in groups, but aren't particularly clever; it is possible to trick them into rushing through narrow spaces. When the first one explodes (preferably with a ranged attack) it will start a chain reaction. Be sure to take cover however, as their fragments can still hurt from a distance!
* Doomchilds are demons and can be banished, rebuked, and held back by Pentagrams.
== Damage Profile ==
Doomchilds have an effective striking strength of 18,Thrust 1d+2, Swing 3d making their knife swings do a whopping 3d-2 (8.5) cutting or 1d+1 (4.5) impaling. On a fleshy target, this would do 12-13 or 9 wounding, respectively.
== Fanon Note on Balance ==
Doomchildren are fairly overpowered in any area where they can approach their opponents in a single turn (Move 10), but are remarkably vulnerable if they can be cascade-detonated at a distance. They're glass cannons who, when killed in melee, will get a free hit with their 3d [1d] explosive fragmentation, doing an average of around 14 damage. In essence, a single doomchild can critically wound most adventurers that don't rely on raw DR or HP.
== Notes ==
== Trivia ==
* A doomchild's death-explosion is as powerful as 0.1 lbs (45 grams) of TNT.
