[Monster] Hell Hound Cerberus

Bring some extra HEAT to the classic fiendish guard dogs!

~something something ...watch the world burn...~

Happy Tuesday, all! Hell Hounds are one of my personal favorite lower-CR baddies—vicious, evocative, and unquestionably evil, and such a great minion for higher-level enemies. Felt like ramping them up a bit to stretch them into higher-tier encounters, potentially standalone or as hefty companions for a ...

[Optional Rule] Unconventional Multiclassing Prerequisites

Unleash the Martial possibilities!

Happy Saturday, friends!

I know, I know. Some of these look like silly options to propose. Strength-based Monks and Rogues can maybe sort of work, but they pretty much require a homebrew subclass to play into it (like the Enforcer Rogue), and Dex-based Barbarians are kind of nonsense since ...

Dragon Ghost Monster Template

Dragon Ghosts

A dragon ghost is the ethereal remains of a passed dragon that has somehow been bound or driven, willingly or unwillingly, to continue roaming a particular location after its death—typically its former lair. This path is not permanent, and even the most powerful of dragons may only be able to sustain their ghostly form for a few months following their death. Usually such a dragon spirit will relinquish its ties to the Material Plane after comp...

Monster & Familiar: Tentacle Cat & Kitten

Tentacle Cat & Kitten

Independent, mischievous, and ferocious, tentacle cats roam freely through the Feywild. From infancy, tentacle kittens are trained to hunt with their pride, seeking out and claiming juvenile pegasi and blink puppies as prey. While it is nearly impossible to tame a grown tentacle cat, some shady elves and fey creatures have been known to raise these kittens from their youth as domestic pets, protecting their homes as powerful guard animals. Such exoti...

Monster & Familiar: Blink Dog & Puppy

Blink Dog & Puppy

Playful and energetic, blink dogs roam through the Feywild in packs. Even in their youth, blink dogs are incredibly intelligent animals and studious learners, quickly picking up on the tactics and tendencies of their kin. The puppies, not yet fully in control of their abilities, sometimes blink around sporadically, making them difficult to train and wrangle. Some fey creatures, however, gladly take on the challenge, knowing that grown bl...

Gravekeeper (Ranger Subclass)

Gravekeeper

Determined to perpetuate the natural cycle of life and death, Gravekeepers protect the dead and hunt those who would dare to abuse and manipulate them: body or spirit. These rangers see the unwilling corruption of the dead as an abhorrent distortion of nature. Seeking the guidance of those who have come before them, they work to ease the suffering of creatures nearing their death—and expeditiously deliver it to their foes.

Monster: Firecat (Familiar)

Firecat

Firecats are a curious manifestation of flame and feline. Similarly to their mundane cousins, firecats are playful and mischievous—a potentially devastating proclivity given their fiery nature. They are native to the Elemental Plane of Fire but have been known to sniff out and sneak through hidden portals to other planes.
    Of notable intelligence for an elemental, firecats make excellent companions for spellcasters, particu...

Kobold Viper

Kobold Viper Race

Kobolds are known to deeply revere and serve dragons, but their dragon overlords rarely pay them much heed or show gratitude for their service. When a kobold is spurned or abandoned, it may seek revenge, defecting to one of the dragons’ greatest rivals, a behir.
Behirs greatly value these kobolds, who work tirelessly to further fortify their lairs—labyrinthine, winding tunnel systems with narrow passageways and ample opportunity t...
