Monster - Brass, the Bouncer

Don’t mess with him

A fun monster that will bash your head in if you make a wrong move.

This monster will be part of a free beginner adventure dropping soon.



A little update: Tomorrow 2 commandments are dropping in, I will be done with the commandments by the end of the month.  I'm currently working on getting youtube videos ready and working on the kickstarter as well.

Take Care!

Level 10 Adventure - Curse of the Ancient Emperor

A classic dungeon crawl this saturday, delve deep into some ancient ruins to stop a curse that is turning dinosaurs mad and cruel, and prevent a tribe from extinction.


Enjoy!

Martial Spells - New ways to give martial character a bit of extra power

New concept I've been toying around with for a while, martial spells.

This won't be included in the 10 Commandments compendium, only on the Holy compendium that will follow.

It's no secret that martial classes often lack at higher levels of play, this is one fun way of adding more options to their gameplay.

Monster - The 6th Commandment & Rosalyn, Martyr of the 6th

New Commandment!

This one was fun to make, the effects are fun, as in they don't really benefit the commandment itself, but they do allow for an interesting city.

How will your enchanter wizard do in a city where charm spells do not work ?

Enjoy!

Monster - The 4th Commandment & Martyr of the 4th

Back to the commandments, expect to see a lot of them in the coming few days, since the compendium should release on the 26-27 of this month!

This one was a bit different, as in the effects of the commandment are definitely more out of combat than the previous commandments could be. I might have to detail the lore of the commandment itself a bit more we shall see.

But I LOVE the Martyr of this one, where you have this wicked elf that stole the power of the commandment and is now...

Monsters - Counsellor & Counsellor's Pet

I wouldn't take advice from them if I were you.

A little bit of eldritch horror in our DnD games because who doesn't like that. This allows you to have players commit complete atrocities and not remember any of it.

It can lead to fun scenarios where villagers are terrified of the players, but the players have no idea why.

Enjoy!

Mighty Pan, Radiant Plate Items & Shield Master Alternate Feat

A mix bag of stuff today!

Finishing the holy item set, with the radiant plate, which goes alongside the sanctified wings and mask.

And a couple of fun ones, with the mighty pan, and the alternate shield master feat, which I personally enjoy a lot on my defender builds.

Corrupted Faith - Level 9 Adventure featuring 1 of the 10 Commandments

And we're back on the grind for the 10 commandments!

This adventure will be part of the compendium and is a great example adventure if you wish to use the commandments in your world. It shows that they are neither good nor bad, they are an unyielding power of law.

Level 9 because we don't want to cause a TPK now do we?

Enjoy!

Monster - Coffee Drake (+ Coffee Item)

I wanted to create a tiny coffee dragon for a long time, and finally had the inspiration the other day, so here it is. It's a simple stat block, although I did have fun with it, as well as with the little coffee item!

The PDF is without the art, for ease of reading.

Enjoy !

3 Defensive Spells

Double post today because it seems that the dragon's hoard that was supposed to go live yesterday was only published today.

Enjoy, they are a bit of a grab bag of everything, but it's mainly defensive options, to use in the heat of battle!

Dragon's Hoard 7

Here's the 7th dragon's hoard, including everything from 5th of April to the 5th of May.

We have a total of a whopping 89 pages of content, to be fair the New Land adventure takes a good chunk, as it is a 4 part adventure.

We are also creeping close to 900 patrons, perhaps 1000 by the end of the month ? Who knows!

Thank you all so much for the support!


Split into 3 parts, or the full document if you want to download it.

Rogue - The Magpie - Add a touch of druid to your rogue

Double upload today!

This rogue subclass was originally inspired by the work of reddit user An-Immortal-Acolyte. Although it has been quite modified from its original version.

Perfect for adding a druid touch to your rogue, shapeshift into an animal and jump on your unaware foes.

Enjoy!

(Perhaps a nature themed compendium in the future?)

Wizard Subclass - The Witch

This is playtest material. The playtest of this subclass hasn't been completed yet.

I created this in response to the pool made a few days ago, where a lot of people seemingly wanted a witch subclass in D&D.

We're still ironing it out, but it is fun to play so far!

Slaying the Marsh King - Level 6 Adventure

This is a swampy adventure, full of frog-like elves, poisons, and other delicacies that you'd expect to find in a swamp, as well as a big black bird that breathes acid... a dragon, it's a dragon.


Expect your players to test their mettle, and enjoy glorious battle. They is also exploration to do, it's a fun adventure, enjoy!

Monster - Orc Elementalist

New monsters for a potential future compendium. I'm running into some mechanical issues with the commandments so I touched briefly on other ideas to get my inspiration back.

In the meantime enjoy this very fun monster. If everyone enjoys it, I'll make a  couple of shaman monsters as well. These can lead to some very fun encounters.

Enjoy !

Monster - Corgi & Corgi Rider

This one was one of the monsters that was left on the cutting room floor for the FEYtastic Compendium.

I still feel like this would be a fun addition in DnD games, so here it is for you to enjoy ;)

Will it TPK a party ? Probably not. Is it completely adorable ? Yes, yes it is.

Enjoy!

Race - Caninefolk, Teaser of the Upcoming Light-Thief Kickstarter

Exiting News!

I'm working on a Kickstarter with Pmal from Papelchemy, who will handle the art. It will be an adventure module taking place in a very unique setting. I don't want to spoil anything just yet ;)

It will include new races, subclasses, spells, magic items and more!

I have to hold back not to spill everything, but it's very exiting, and it's coming up soon!

Full 35 Pages Adventure, the New Lands

An Epic Adventure Module for Busy Groups.

Let’s say that life is preventing you from meeting up to play DnD on the regular. Perhaps you get to play once a month, or perhaps you only have 3 weeks in the year this summer to play D&D. Well this adventure is perfect for you !

It includes a system of fast levelling and intense emotional punches to compress the experience of a full campaign in only 4 sessions of 3-5 hours each.

A warlock patron fit for the 10 Commandments!

Bring some radiance and order to the battlefield, and it's another alternative to a benevolent Patron that isn't the celestial.

Monster - The 8th Commandment, a being of truth

These are very fun, with some very cool abilities to learn secrets about players and NPCs. Dealing more damage to liars and so on!

Items - Sanctified Wings & Mask

New holy items!

They were super fun to design, and are perfect for all your good aligned characters that are out there, granting some fun abilities.

Now the question is, should I expand on the set ? If yes it would probably be a 3rd item, and an addendum explaining what happens when someone wields all 3 items.

Let me know!

Holy Monster - 3rd Commandment - Respect the Sabbath

Next instalment of turning the 10 commandments into DnD monsters.

This one has a fun mechanic in the fact that it forces people to rest, king or peasant alike. Included is a statblock of the commandment taking possession of a martial creature.

I tried to keep the CRs of these creatures on the middle tiers of play, because most DnD adventures don't go past level 12, and I already have some high level encounters in the Plagues.

Power Words - 8 New Spells to Impose your Might

I love power word spells, no save, no nothing, just suffer the might of my magic!

But in the PHB there is a whooping 3 of them, so here's to fixing that !

Plus it fits the theme of the commandments, since they are a command.

Turning the 10 Commandments into DnD Monsters. Starting with the 5th

Hello everyone, monkey here.

Next compendium will be in a similar vein to the 10 Plagues, except something a little holier let's say. 

That's right the 10 Commandments, I will not create them in order, simply because some of them are harder to create mechanics around ("Honour thy father and thy mother" I'm looking at you).


These monsters act as buffs, meaning that on their own, they won't be that deadly, except the 1st commandment perhaps, but when they ...
