Three fiend-focused prestige classes, ready to vex and terrify adventurers who dare stand against their plots. An extensive collection of in-world excerpts from the sinister pages of the Book of the Damned itself. Browse 0 Images » wrong image? RPG Item Version. News of the disorder in the city has reached the Chelish capital city, and an armed force is said to be gathering to come down to bring order—if the player characters can't defeat the Council of Thieves and restore order before the Chelish General and his troops arrive, riots will be the least of their problems.
Of course, more than mere thieves work for the age-old Council—for undead and devils and worse stand between the heroes of Westcrown and a brighter future. Dealing with various types of anomalous phenomena including UFOs, strange falls of both organic and inorganic materials from the sky, odd weather patterns, the possible existence of creatures generally held to be mythological, disappearances of people under strange circumstances, and many other phenomena, the book is historically considered to be the first written in the specific field of anomalistics.
A Procession of the damned. By the damned, I mean the excluded. We shall have a procession of data that Science has excluded. Battalions of the accursed, captained by pallid data that I have exhumed, will march.
You'll read them—or they'll march. Some of them livid and some of them fiery and some of them rotten. Some of them are corpses, skeletons, mummies, twitching, tottering, animated by companions that have been damned alive. There are giants that will walk by, though sound asleep.
There are things that are theorems and things that are rags: they'll go by like Euclid arm in arm with the spirit of anarchy. Here and there will flit little harlots. Many are clowns. But many are of the highest respectability. Some are assassins. But the writing reminds me a bit of Sunken Empires by Open Design. So far it is look like if you are fan of that book you would likely like this book. Still be awhile before I finish it let alone get a review done.
In my game they were the inspiration for the kolocanth or sea bugbear. The image of the coral shepherd reminds me of my liverock gargoyles. I have used giant hermit crabs in my campaign in the recent past, as well as a hermit crab hivemind, but have yet to use my hermit crabmen. Your giant dragonfly nymph reminded me of my vilax, which was an aquatic thri-kreen inspired by the same beastie. Instead of electric eels, I added a new variety of ixitxachitl with electrical abilities as well as making the vampiric ixitxachitl capable of creating juju zombies.
Your stygian imp reminds me of my fish styx and a host of beasties made from aquatic larvae; scullops, demonstars, and hellbenders. I recognize that sea cat pose from images of swimming tigers :. So keep up the feedback! It will make this book even better. The revised copy as well as future revisions will be available for free for all who downloaded the original product. I am still working on my review for it, so hopefully late this week or early next I will have it up.
Yeah so far my impression of the book has been pretty much overall the same as yours. I have a few minor nitpicks but that's it so far. If you already bought the pdf, we will offer a discount on the print copy with proof of purchase.
We too have a few nitpicks that we came across since its release. We are taking everyone's input very seriously, and will likely incorporate each into the revised version due out in mid-January It was nice to see a shout out to my song dragons.. Why do I get the sinking heh feeling there will be some kind of polar song dragon in my near future And very glad to see the print option coming in the future.
Right after I just finished printing it all out. I'd sadface over there not being an octopus-taur humanoid race, but it's hard to when there are like other races being introduced. Viridian Naiads are looking to be my favorites thus far. This is almost certainly going to fit into my homebrew as a whole. Takes off some of the workload! In the short term, the 'normal' half dragon template would work, just make it aquatic.
The only down side is their breath weapons are fairly repetive and sonic based. If you follow the Bestiary template half dragons don't gain all the neat extras 2ndary breath weapons, auras, etc from their parent.
I have been known to allow additional abilities as the half dragon levels up in home games however There's nothing that prevents a DM from changing things about, of course.
My aquatic hagstone dragons, pearl, coral, and abalone, have breath weapons of sharpened oyster shell shards, hardening coralline algae, and clouds of cyanide respectively. I like to keep my players on their.. Then next year I will start piking up your books. Since the first spark of mortal life took form, the daemons have sought to extinguish it. Evil in its purest form, these terrors seek nothing less than the end of all existence.
Led by the Four Horsemen--War, Famine, Pestilence, and Death--the armies of Abaddon work to corrupt, consume, and destroy everything around them. Perfect nihilists, the daemons seek only to be the last entities looking down on the dying cinders of the cosmos before they themselves are consumed, and only darkness remains.
