IntroductionIntroductionIntroductionIntroductionIntroduction

55555

As the name of this book suggests, it and its contentsare based on and inspired by the contents of two LewisCarroll books, Alices Adventures in WonderlandandThrough the Looking Glass, to include the poems thatappear within them. While some extrapolation has beennecessary to fully flesh out many of the authors crea-tures, characters, and concepts, a significant amountof effort has been made to be true to his words and

preserve his tone and atmosphere.

VVVVVisiting Wisiting Wisiting Wisiting Wisiting WonderlandonderlandonderlandonderlandonderlandWonderland can be entered by any of the ways alter-nate universes are visited, and portals of various sortsare the most common means for doing so. Document-ed examples of these include holes in the ground, mir-rors that act as gateways, and wells, caves, wardrobes,and spaces underneath beds are all other likely possi-

bilities.One area of Wonderland can vary markedly in ap-

pearance from another, and conclusions about one sec-tion of the plane cannot necessarily be drawn from the

others. Portals of the above-mentioned sorts typicallylead into very different kinds of areas (leading somepeople to conclude, albeit incorrectly, that they areactually different worlds). Areas like the homeland ofthe Queen of Hearts and her subjects appear quite con-ventional, parts of the land of the chess people are some-what more bizarre, and Snark Island is actually dis-mal, rugged, and dangerous.

A number of these areas, as well as some of theplaces through which visitors are known to have en-tered Wonderland, are described in this books Appen-dix I: Wonderland Gazeteer, and some of the kinds ofadventures characters might have in or around themare suggested in Appendix II: Adventure Hooks.

How the denizens of Wonderland react to visitorswill depend on a number of things, to include howaggressive or threatening they appear to be. Those thatappear innocuous such as children, animals likefamiliars, and maybe small folk like halflings might

WWWWWonderland is a strange, sometimes creepy alternate world that incorporates aspects of a fairytale land,the elements of childrens nightmares, and a demi-plane of chaos. Game masters drawn to it in anyway can adapt it and its denizens for any number of purposes, from brief quests into Wonderland,

extended campaigns within it, or encounters with native monsters or characters who have somehow venturedout of it. Parties of very low to fairly high level could all be involved on such adventures, depending on the sortsof challenges and encounters a game master devises using the contents of this book.

variously be ignored, menaced, or threatened, but prob-ably not attacked outright. There are, in fact, severaldocumented cases of such creatures having visitedWonderland and returned to tell the tale.

Frequently changing size is a typical experience ofmany visitors to and natives of Wonderland alike, andthis can certainly have an impact on encounters. Oneof these is that for every size category larger than usual

they are, a character enjoys a +2 bonus on Intimidatechecks. Furthermore, if he is two or more sizes largerthan creatures he is dealing with, this check is madeautomatically whether he likes it or not. A charactercan attempt to avoid this, however, by making an op-posed Diplomacy check against their own Intimidatecheck.

One of the other side effects of the alien world ofWonderland is that outsiders do not age when they arein it.

Acknowled gementsAcknowledg em entsAcknowled gementsAcknowledg em entsAck nowle dgem en tsAs with most such projects, a number of people other

than the authors have made some contributions to thisbook.

One of these is Lee Garvin, author of the ENnie-nom-inated OGL/Pathfinder Animal Players Handbook TheNoble Wild, who provided material for both the Won-derland animal template and the Wonderland hedgehog.

Another is Trent Troop of Oactavirate Games, whocreated the version of the Mock Turtle that appears inthis book, and which was originally published in hiscompanys Lethal Lexicon Volume 2.

Art throughout this work was produced by both theartists who illustrated some of the original editions ofAlices Adventures in Wonderlandand Through theLooking Glass, along with some inspired by the placesand inhabitants of Carrolls strange world.

WONDERLAND ANIMALWONDERLAND ANIMALWONDERLAND ANIMALWONDERLAND ANIMALWONDERLAND ANIMALThe animals and insects of Wonderland often havehuman-like attitudes and, in some cases, appearanc-es, which can make them seem odd or even disturb-ing to visitors.

AnimalsAnimalsAnimalsAnimalsAnimals of all types can be found in Wonderland.All such creatures are physically similar to their real-world counterparts, the major exceptions being thatthey have near-human intellects and that many havehuman-like hands and, therefore, the ability to usevarious sorts of objects. Some also wear various itemsof clothing. Most Wonderland creatures are pretty muchderanged by normal standards, however, and interac-tions with them might thus be confusing or even dis-

quieting (e.g., they may appear to have characters con-fused with other people and call them by their namesrather than the correct ones). Many act as servants forvarious Wonderland humans.

Mammals that can be found in Wonderland includerabbits and hares, mice, dormice, bats, ferrets, dogsand puppies, guinea pigs, panthers, cats, pigs, seals,and hedgehogs.

Reptiles that can be found in Wonderland includelizards, frogs, and snakes.

Birds that can be found in Wonderland include do-dos, lories and parrots, magpies, canaries, geese, pi-geons, ducks, larks, sparrows, flamingoes, and owls.

Marine creatures that can be found in Wonderlandinclude crabs, clams, oysters, shrimp, lobsters, fish

both semi-anthropomorphic and otherwise sharks,jellyfish, whitings, porpoises, tutles, sole, and eels.

Vermin that can be found in Wonderland includecaterpillars and snails.

Most such creatures have given names (e.g., Billthe Lizard).

WWWWWonderland is home to many different sorts of creatures, among them real-world animals, mythologicalbeasts especially those that might be found in heraldry or Empire-style furniture and architecture small native humans, and beings unique to the milieu. Many, but certainly not all, tend to be

argumentative, rude, surly, or otherwise unhelpful. All, however, have ranks in Knowledge (local [Wonderland])equal to 3 plus their HD, so if handled properly they might prove to be useful sources of information.

These include the Duchess, her Cook, the Mad Hat-ter, and the King, Queen, and Knave of Hearts.

Perhaps the most reviled creature in all of Wonder-land, the bandersnatch is a hideous creature thatplagues travelers. Appearing like some mixture of a

diseased chimpanzee and insect, a bandersnatch hasa crumpled, compact frame set on stumpy little legs.Its gangly arms are longer than it is tall, and are tippedwith wicked claws that can easily pierce even the thick-est of branches in the woods where it likes to hide.Named for its tendency to snatch individuals and then

bander away with them, the bandersnatch is viewedby the inhabitants of Wonderland as a contemptuousbut very dangerous creature, and thusly avoided when-ever possible.

COMBACOMBACOMBACOMBACOMBATTTTTA bandersnatch is a spiteful creature that enjoys in-

flicting pain on others. Its lanky, emaciated arms allowit to have a 10-foot reach despite its squashed frame,which combined with its quick speed and climbingability, allows it to ambush foes with startling profi-ciency. Typically, a bandersnatch will drop down onunsuspecting creatures, use its greater grab ability tosnag one of them, and then whisk it away, trusting itsquickness and shunned ability to shake off pursuers. Itwill typically then dispatch the individual, and leavepieces of him or her for the victims friends to find,

CARD PERSONCARD PERSONCARD PERSONCARD PERSONCARD PERSONCard people are one of the strange races native to Won-derland. They are, in fact, living playing cards, and

each bears an appropriate number of standard sym-bols, Hearts, Diamonds, Spades, or Clubs. They arethe servitors, soldiers, courtiers, and even children ofKnaves, Queens, and Kings, Face Cards that con-form to the characteristics of Wonderland humans rath-er than card people.

Such beings are organized into a strict hierarchy,with Deuces (2s) at the lower end of the spectrum andAces (1s) at the upper end. In keeping with the arcaneorganization of such beings, an Ace can even some-times veto, or trump, the orders of a Face Card. Fur-thermore, card people often segregate which symbolsperform which duties: Spades are often fighters, rang-

ers, or experts, Clubs tend to become clerics, Heartstend to be rogues, bards, or aristocrats, and Diamondsare often wizards.

COMBACOMBACOMBACOMBACOMBATTTTTLike other humanoids, Card People typically use weap-ons in combat. While members of any suit might befound with any sorts of arms, Clubs tend to be armedwith maces and other sorts of blunt weapons andSpades with swords.

Because they are made to a great extent of card-board-like tissue, Card people suffer at 4 penalty onsaving throws versus any effects that involve fire (in-cluding attempts to avoid catching on fire).

Card people take 1d6 additional damage from flam-ing weapons or attacks like torches or a fireballspell.

Card people suffer at -4 penalty on saving throwsversus any wind-based effects that might result in them

being blown away or the like. Card people have damage reduction 2/slashing. A Card person always has a number of levels

equal to the number of symbols it bears, minus 1, withthe exception of Aces, which have 10 HD/levels.


A Card person can always take Craft or Profes-sion as class skills.

Wonderland caterpillars are ancient beings that haveused a combination of powerful drugs and magic to

both prevent themselves from aging and to provide themwith vast knowledge of both their homeland and worlds

beyond it. With their consciousnesses always half some-where else, such creatures generally seem slow, vague,and disconnected.

At around three inches tall, they are not much of aphysical threat to anyone, and characters who havenot been reduced in size are not likely to even noticesuch diminutive creatures. At first glance, a Wonder-land caterpillar might appear to have human-like fea-tures, but this is actually because of its ability to use itssmall legs to form shapes reminiscent of features like anose, mouth, ears, and the like.

While not overly gregarious, such creatures perceive

their role as oracles and will provide information albeit possibly in the form or riddles or in some otherobscure or confusing way to those who present them-selves properly. They advance in level exactly like sor-cerers but use Int as the key ability for their spells anddo not receive familiars.

A Wonderland caterpillar will usually possess asmall horde of magical treasure, to include a hookah ofstability, 2d4 potions or other items of magic food ordrink, and 1d4-1 random magic items, likely of a mi-nor sort.

COMBACOMBACOMBACOMBACOMBATTTTTWonderland caterpillars do not willingly engage in com-

bat under any circumstances. Because they are anunparalleled source of information, however, other be-ings may be willing to help protect them from harm.

Despite their ecclesiastical title, bishops are the roguesof chess people. While rarely duplicitous, they tend toconsider things from every angle, looking for an ad-

vantage. Most prefer to work in groups with other chesspeople, and tend to try and fade to the backgroundwhen with others, finding that it allows for them toassess people and situations easier.

COMBACOMBACOMBACOMBACOMBATTTTTBishops act tactically in combat, using their anglingadvancement ability together with their Mobility feat toquickly assume advantageous positions. They usuallytry to flank a foe with another chess person (usually apawn) and move away should their flanking ally betaken out.

While pawns make up the standard infantry of the chessarmies, it is the knights who are held up as being thechess peoples true vanguards. They tend to see op-portunity where others see obstacles, and as such havea very optimistic outlook. Many knights are brave al-most to the point of being foolish, being quick to rushin where angels fear to tread, certain that theyll beable to rush out again if things go poorly.

COMBACOMBACOMBACOMBACOMBATTTTTKnights do not hesitate to step into a fight, confident intheir ability to find the most advantageous positions. If

possible, they will use difficult terrain or obstacles,combined with tumbling around enemies, to give themthe advantage.

The lowliest of the chess people, pawns are also themost common. They are the rank-and-file of their re-spective armies, and know it, following orders issued

by chess people of higher rank (i.e., every chess per-son who is not also a pawn). Some pawns actuallymanage to gain class levels, although these are highlyrare. Still, rumors persist of pawns who have actuallymanaged to advance far enough that they become pro-moted to another kind of chess person altogether. Thistends to be the dream of most pawns.

Named for the dessert course for which they are oftenserved, a Christmas pudding is a small, intelligent ooze.Most tend to eschew contact with other creatures,

knowing that they are a favored delicacy to most peo-ple. Talking to them reveals a dour and taciturn dispo-sition, often with an annoying habit of demanding to

be addressed as Mister and correcting even the mostminor mistakes.

Rather oddly, Christmas puddings tend to assumethat all other foodstuffs are sentient like themselves,and have similar attitudes to their own. As such, theytend to have a high opinion of themselves, since fewother foods are as adept at avoiding being eaten as theyare.

COMBACOMBACOMBACOMBACOMBATTTTTA Christmas pudding tries to stay out of combat whenpossible, using its stealthy nature to avoid detection ordisguising itself as a harmless desert when noticed. Ifdrawn into a fight, however, a Christmas pudding cancause more trouble than most opponents might expect.Its elastic nature lets it lash out with surprising speed

and power, leaving enemies smarting from its slam at-tack.

gent, and is subject to mind-affecting effects. It speaksand understands Common.Elastic Body (Ex):Elastic Body (Ex):Elastic Body (Ex):Elastic Body (Ex):Elastic Body (Ex): Despite its gelatinous appearance,

Wonderlands gryphons are very similar in appearance

to traditional griffons and look much like smaller ver-

sions of them, combining the physical characteristicsof both lions and eagles and generally being about sixfeet in length.

Neither males nor females are endowed with amane. A pair of broad wings emerge from the crea-tures back and have a full span of about 20 feet. Atypical gryphon weighs around 336 pounds.

Unlike the creatures to which they bear such a re-semblance, however, gryphons are much smarter thanferal griffons and can speak, generally knowing Com-mon. Many are schooled and quite proud of their edu-cations (although these may seem strange and evenidiotic to non-Wonderlanders). They are also much lessaggressive than their wild counterparts, exceptionallylazy, and both able and inclined to sit and walk up-right, use furniture, and the like.

Such creatures are often encountering hangingaround with other Wonderland inhabitants (e.g., mockturtles).

To be trained, a gryphon must have a friendly atti-

tude toward the trainer, which can be achieved througha successful Diplomacy check or other appropriatemeans. Training a friendly gryphon requires four weeksof work and a DC 25 Handle Animal check.

Riding a gryphon in combat requires an exotic sad-dle. A gryphon can fight while carrying a rider butis not inclined to want to but the rider cannot alsoattack unless he or she succeeds on a Ride check.

Gryphon eggs are typically worth 2,500 gp apieceon the open market, while young are worth twice thismuch. Professional trainers charge 1,000 gp to rear ortrain a gryphon.

Hedgehogs are diminutive, spine-covered woodlandrodents. In Wonderland, these little creatures are, amongother things, used as balls in croquet games, a practicethat generally does not harm them because of theirparticular feats associated. Such creatures speak Common.

COMBACOMBACOMBACOMBACOMBATTTTTWonderland hedgehogs are not generally very aggres-sive and concentrate more on defense than on offensewhen dealing with antagonists.

Defensive Roll (Ex):Defensive Roll (Ex):Defensive Roll (Ex):Defensive Roll (Ex):Defensive Roll (Ex): When threatened, a hedgehog

can roll itself into a ball and tuck in its head and feet,leaving no part of its body exposed except for its toughspines. When taking a total defense action, the hedge-hog gains an additional +2 natural armor bonus to itsAC. This bonus stacks with his previous natural armoras well as the dodge bonus provided by the total de-fense action.

Whats more, if an enemys attack misses the hedge-hogs AC, but hits its touch AC, then the hedgehog isknocked a number of squares away from the attackerequal to 1d6 + the attackers Str bonus in a randomdirection.

Wonderland is home to a great many strange and terri-fying creatures. But the jabberwock towers above themall, being a paragon of sheer physical puissance. For-tunately for the residents of Wonderland, the creatureis so rare as to be almost mythical, and no jabberwockhas been seen in many years. Some hope that the jab-

berwock was perhaps a singular creature and, thatwhen it was slain by an ancient hero as commemo-rated in poetic form that it was gone forever. Othersare less optimistic however, in that the title of the poemJabberwocky, is the plural form of the monsters name.

A jabberwock looks like a warped, wingless dragoncovered with chitin rather than scales. Its pupil-lesseyes seem to focus on nothing and everything all atonce, and its sonorous voice seems to echo horribly

even in open areas. Massive claws enable it to digthrough the earth as easily as a man could walk, andits tail has enough power to uproot trees.

COMBACOMBACOMBACOMBACOMBATTTTTA jabberwock is a physical powerhouse, capable ofdealing hideous damage to even a large group of ene-mies very quickly. It usually begins a fight by burbling,and then moves into melee combat. Very cunning de-spite its low Intelligence, a jabberwock tends to focusits tail attack on lightly-armored foes, as that allows itto bring its improved grab, constrict, and fling abilities
