Hello everyone, monkey here.

New clockwork monsters for Darkalleys of Runehalt.

The Deflector has a very good AC with shield, and can improve its power by using even more reaction spells, potentially destroying itself in the process. (Displacing Protection Spell). Very fun in combat.

The arcane nullifier can cut the grass unde...

Item - Holy Moonlight Sword

Hello everyone, monkey here.

So yeah i made that, main reason, I love the soulsborne series, I saw the Elden Ring trailer and I’m hype AF about it!

I decided to recreate my favourite weapon from the series, as a powerful artefact for your D&D games. Spellcasters will love it, it’s perfect for a Gish build, such as Arcane Knight Fighter or Bladesinger Wizard.

In addition, I also created an evolving weapon version, that levels up as you kill various foes and level up y...

Stormborn & Star Touched Aasimars - Embody the rage of the storm or the beauty of the night sky

Hello everyone, monkey here.

With critical role finishing their second campaign, I realised that I loved the idea of a storm infused aasimar, so I put a little twist on it. Explode forward with thundering movement. Alternatively you can blind your enemies with divine light, with the star touched aasimar.

These will be part of the next Tome: Dark Alleys of Runehalt

These aasimars long for freedom and the open sky, and the wardens of magical prisons make it a ...

Race - Cyborgs, Transcend the limits of your mortal body

Still working on my latest Tome, Dark Alleys of Runehalt.

This time we are tackling humans (or other races), that have decided to transcend their limits, and become something more specialised and powerful.

Technically a character can begin the campaign with this as their starting race, or, let’s say the DM felt a bit murderous, and the player is on board, after a particularly gruesome attack that left them scarred, they can choose to change race and become cybor...

Adventure - Mother Okawa, a level 4 adventure

Mother Okawa, as she is often referred to, is not as innocent and as kindly as they may think. In truth, the many demons that guard the trail and attack whoever dares to get near it are little more than her devout followers. Trickster demons, other evil attackers, all of which serve her, their Oni Mother.

This is the first part of a two-part adventure, revolving around Oni Mother Okawa and her bath house. In case you are interested in only a short one-shot, you may run this adventure in...

Adventure - Ooze bringers, level 10 slime madness adventure

For a little while, the nearby lands have been corrupted by plague and sickness and no one has been able to guess why. Due to the work of powerful adventurers and the help of trustworthy contributors, a cure to the plagues and illnesses have been found, but it is hard to produce and not many have access to it. Now, an informant has come out of the dark, saying he knows the true source of the problem. And he will aid you if you come meet him.

The main ability is to locks a player in place, no more blink spell, not even etherealness will get you out of these restraints!

Good news, closing in on the compendium, even better news, tonight I'm posting the 10th and final commandment!

This commandment is the only one that cannot possess other creatures, as it is very very strong on its own already, so allowing a creature to possess this power would be too much.
