Monster - Faceless

This fun CR 4 aberration is a head hunter that can disguise itself very well let's say, nevermind the creepy tones.

Pretend to be your character's mother, best friend or even pet and watch their face when they realise what happens.

Enjoy!

Dragonborn Variants - Dragon Turtle & Sea Dragon

Because who doesn't dream to be a dragonborn with a shell and a cool steam breath attack ?

The alternative is to descend from abyssal sea dragons, powerful beings which I will soon release ;)

Rogue - The Lurker Below

Is this subclass maybe inspired by Pyke? Not at all, I don't see a resemblance, no no no.

But yes it was. It has some very fun abilities which allow you to become an absolute terror underwater and on the land.

I'm still not 100% sold on the capstone ability, because if you only use this rogue underwater it doesn't do much, so perhaps I'll change to something else, we shall see.

Beles the Unbound & Nexgruges, Two Terrifying Monsters

Beles is a celestial, in a similar vein to Bahal, the great serpent. Casted out of the heavens she was condemned in the abyssal ocean. Instead of being helped she was tortured by magic for millennia, emerging mad with vengeance.

She has some very fun abilities, is quite resilient, and can summon various cataclysms so that's fun.


The Nexgruges is a spirit of vengeance that made a pact with oceanic "gods" to overtake the body of ...

Steam Elemental and Steam Myrmidon

Steam your player's face off.

This monster is an elemental that I feel like WotC should have created, since Steam Mephits are already stated, but oh well, that's what homebrew is for! I of course also created the Myrmidon version who uses an axe.

As you know I'm working on an underwater compendium, but will probably do a bestiary first, because I have a lot of ideas and art set aside!

Take care !

Adventure - Among the stars, A level 13 Adventure

For the longest time, the Almendrud Academy of Archeology and Exploration - situated in New Haran - has been a bastion of archeological studies. Whether it be old desert ruins or long-lost tunnels to the Underdark, the explorers and professors of this establishment have been integral to the progress of historical understanding. While this is still true, some people wish the academy would push past the boundaries of their surrounding world. Such is the case for Professor Funbuck Lockeheart. Af...

Paladin - Oath of the Abyss Watcher

New Deep Sea Monsters - Paralytic Anemone, Abyssal Drudge

Hello everyone,

Sorry about the slight delay, I've changed software for the creation of my PDFs, and it took me a hot minute to get accustomed to it.

So the plan for this month is to make an underwater compendium, I'll tackle monster and subclasses first, with a few additionnal underwater rules to make the game more enjoyable in your deep sea adventures.


Take Care my friends!

Aasimar Variants (6 races)


I love the idea of beings that are touched by the gods, but because there is such a variety of gods, it would make sense that each god leaves a different touch on their offspring.

Introducing the Steel Soul for descendant of Fire and Forge Gods, and Devotion for the Gods of Love and Protection. the Trickster Blood and Dusk aasimar for edgier gods let's say.
