Hey Critical Crew!
May's release leaves behind the dark, claustrophobic tunnels of the Null Mines and takes to the skies, soaring above the surface world to explore the mysterious Floating Isles that drift among the clouds! These celestial sanctuaries are home to allies of the Arcanuum, ever vigilant in their mission to aid the surface in its struggle against the Order of the Blank. From these lofty heights, these heroic forces work to turn the tide of the conflict, using healing magic to save those down below. Will your table embrace the call of the skies and join the fight from above?
Printable STL
This month brings our TWO latest .STL's for our Apprentice and Loremaster tiers - a male and female Refuge Domain Cleric! These .STL files come presupported by our good friends at TableFlip Foundry.
As always - STL's are NOT backlogged, so be sure to download it locally this month!
Encounters
We've got 4 brand new encounters of varying challenge ratings and settings -ready to drop right into your existing campaigns, or can just as easily be used as a springboard into a new adventure.
Have your party summoned to the chambers of a dying monarch, searching for respite from his illness; catch your players unaware when the Blank Aeronauts strike from above; and help a village solve their flooding problem, as the skies have been raining constantly for weeks!
Stat Blocks
You get 4 brand new monster stat blocks of various challenge ratings, and our lastest Vehicle. Bring the threat of the Order of the Blank to the skies with the Blank Aeronauts aboard their Blank Dirigible! But they aren't the only threats within the sky, as the Thunderbird and the Necrocael are sure to stir things up for your table!
Player Options
May also brings our latest Arcanuum subclass - the Refuge Domain Cleric! High above the surface world, hidden among the Floating Isles, the clerics of the Refuge Domain watch over the lost and forsaken. From their floating sanctuaries, they descend on radiant wings, rescuing those displaced by war and persecution - spellcasters and refugees alike. These divine protectors are beacons of hope, shielding the vulnerable and often acting as the Arcanuum’s eyes in the sky. Whether standing as guardians against the tyranny of the Order of the Blank or offering sanctuary to the weary cast aside in the ravages of the Mages’ War, they are living testaments to the power of compassion and shelter.
We also have our latest player racial template - the Reincarnated Template! Bring your dead PC's back to life as either Virtuous or Condemned, through the direct invention of The Justiciar (the Outsider of Law). From Her throne in Iustia, the Plane of Law, The Justiciar has noticed the deceased player character and has chosen to bring the back to life to fulfill some sort of task or job. Only upon completing this job can their soul finally peacefully depart. This racial template allows for any PC to find a conclusion to their story, and is guaranteed to lead to some amazing roleplay moments!
And lastly, we're covering all your player's needs with our 4 latest feats and 2 latest deficiencies, to allow for further character customization.
Items
May also brings our 7 latest magic items to give you plenty of options to help your players navigate the skies and bring healing to the battlefields down below!
Spells
This release also brings our 5 latest magic spells. Your spellcasters are sure to love the new healing options like Healing Rain, Phoenician Rebirth, and Field Healing!
Maps
We've also got 8 total battle maps (gridded and gridless variations) - ready for the included encounters (or just as easily used as standalone maps).
Tokens
And lastly, we are bringing you 11 VTT-ready tokens for all of your online needs!
