Items: Seals of War's Legacy

Hello good hunter,

From the blood-soaked trenches and shell-shocked survivors of the Great War come two haunting magical artifacts:

Sacrificial Seal:

Forged in the crucible of duty and honor, this blood-red seal embodies the terrible price of victory. It whispers of countless volunteers marching to their doom, of last stands and desperate charges.

Screaming Seal:

Born from the cacophony of artillery and the s...

Bard - College of Clownery (Yes this is horror-themed)

Hello good hunter,

So this bard was originally meant for Steinhardt's guide, but I could never quite fit it in there, and I don't feel like I have any upcoming compendiums where it will completely match either.

I decided to put in the Trench War Compendium because many horrors happened there, and this is heavily horror inspired.

You'll see that it refers to the Madness system, this is meant to be the one in Steinhardt's Guide to the Eldritch Hunt.

I'm unsure whethe...

Feats of War

Hello good hunter,

Today some new feats to help you survive the horrors of the trench war

Trench Warrior:

This feat draws from the harsh realities of trench warfare. It reflects the skills and tactics developed by soldiers who spent months in the muddy, cramped confines of the Western Front. The feat encapsulates the importance of cover, improvisation, and the ability to quickly fortify one's position.

Iron Nerves:

Inspired b...

Bloodsap Treant - Remnants of the War

Hello good hunter,

Today, a new creature born from the horrors of the Trench War: the Bloodsap Treant.

These crimson-wooded monstrosities emerged in the aftermath of the Great War, spawned from trees that absorbed the blood and poison gas that saturated battlefields. Rather than restoring nature, Bloodsap Treants promote the growth of corrupted forests, spreading a tainted version of life across once-ravaged lands.

The Bloodsap Treant is for campaigns exploring the ling...

Spells of the Trench War - The Beginning of a WW1 inspired compendium

Hello good hunter,

Today I'm excited to share with you the beginning of a new Compendium inspired by the grim realities of World War I trench warfare, with an added magical flair.

First I kicked it off with the Chemical Bloodline Sorcerer, and now it's time to add spell, monsters and more.

Here are the first four new spells:

• Miasma of Death (1st-level conjuration): Conjure a toxic cloud reminiscent of WWI chemical warfare. You've se...

Sorcerer - Corrosive Bloodline

Get ready to embrace the darker side of magic with the Corrosive Bloodline Sorcerer!

This potent archetype brings a unique flavor to the sorcerer class, allowing players to harness the forces of decay, toxins, and chemical warfare.

Inspired by the grim realities of World War I and the lyrics of Sabaton's "Father" (an absolute banger might I add), this subclass explores the devastating potential of alchemical and biological weapons in a fantasy setting.

Democracy Domain: A Cleric Fighting For the Will of the People [Wrath of Olympus]

Hello good hunter,

This subclass is all about collective decision-making and the strength that comes from unity. It was fitting for the compendium as the greek’s pioneered the idea of democracy.

With a fun ability at high levels, which makes it so you can actually make creatures vote to change the targets of spells!

The People's Mandate ability, for instance, literally lets your party members vote on what they need most in the moment. A quick no...

The Bladespinner: Adding Blades to a Spider [Wrath of Olympus]

Hello good hunter,

This nasty piece of work is what you'd get if you crossed a giant spider with a blender.

The lore behind this monster is pretty “cool" too. And by cool I mean that I was just thinking "You know what would make giant spiders even worse? Sword legs!".

Turns out it actually makes them less scary, though more deadly. It has a combination of high mobility, area control with webs, and constant damage output.

I made two versions, the webspinner being...

Race: Cactusfolk

Hello good hunter,

These plant-based humanoids are perfect for desert-themed campaigns or for players who want to try something completely different. 

Honestly I just saw the new sets from MtG and it inspired me to make a race out of it because it sounded fun, and the result was actually fairly exciting to play with.

Enjoy!

Uncover the dark history of a city that survived on blood-fed cacti, now sentient and roaming the desert. Face off against the Mirage Gang, led by a cactus warlock with sinister plans.

Feats of Olympus

Hello good hunter!

I'm excited to share two new feats with you:

• Wastenot

  This feat is designed for spellcasters who hate to see their magic go to waste. When a creature succeeds on a saving throw against your spell and it has no effect, you can channel that residual energy into your next successful spell attack. It deals bonus force damage that scales with the spell slot level of the failed spell.

  Now your magic always packs a punch, even when it misses the m...

Druid - Circle of Olympus

Hello!

Today a new druid:

This subclass blends druidic nature magic with the power of Greek gods.

Here's a quick breakdown:

• Heavenly Nature (2nd level): Can change certain damage types to radiant damage, which is useful to go around resistances

• Godly Influence (2nd level): Use Wild Shape to invoke divine effects, rolling on a table for different blessings from Demeter, Poseidon, or Zeus. This is meant to add extra utility to your druid spells...

Kronos - The Devouring Titan trapped in Tartarus

I promised some titans for Wrath of Olympus, so here is the first one, with Gaia coming next.

Now keep in mind this is as end game of a monster as it gets, so feel free to drop it in at level 5 ;)

Enjoy!

P.S: For GMs that feel playful, feel free to add the following ability to Kronos:

Chains of Tartarus. While at 1 hit point, Kronos is immune to all damage. If a creature casts the imprisonment 2024-08-12 20:26:55 +0000 UTC View Post
