[Ranger] Item - Veil of the Hollow

Everything Ranger can't be all bows! This one is for the rangers who deal with places of the dead, and includes an interesting addition to probably the least-used feature Primeval Awareness. It also allows rangers to reaction-cast death ward with 3rd-level spells - very helpful for surviving in battle.

[Ranger] Weapon - Shadow Trace

This weapon was initiated from an image I had of a trident passing through rays of sun spearing through a cave, appearing and disappearing as it passes between darkness and light. I think this one is workable in a real game - one advantage per turn if your characters are absolute gamers and much less if the enemies are smart....

[Ranger] Weapon - Daybreak

I really like floating things in a design and I couldn't miss this opportunity. Because this is a bow of a celestial ranger, you can even see the tiny diamonds shapes that indicates the Aureliate gods. In designing weapon properties, I wanted to give Rangers a similar damage versatility as Paladin's smites, so this works. The...

[Ranger] Weapon - Equilibrium

Next up is the Cogwork Marshals, explorers of the lawful planes. This bow is actually a shieldbow, a unique weapon type I'm experimenting with (I played Runescape 😅). This weapon functions much like a longbow; it grants a +1 bonus to AC in exchange for a 5-fold reduction to range, making it chiefly a closer-range tankier r...

[Ranger] Weapon - Stormcall

New month! I have to say I was a lil surprised the Ranger book made a comeback but boy am I excited. More bows, a couple arrows, and more for the class that needs the most love. Though this month is ranger-focused, I did my best to make some of them branch out to other appropriate classes. These first couple items will theme ...

[Divine] Monster - Burning Edict

A fun fight for any adventuring party, but a flexible RP tool for any GM. Does your god need something to happen for your story? Possess an expendable NPC and turn them into a Burning Edict. But really only if your god is evil or chaotic.

[Divine] NPC - Divine Champion (of the Aureliate)

If you need an Aureliate god antagonist, here they are. At minimum, this champion will work for any god and will be a moderately strong encounter, but things get very interesting once you bring in the legendary actions. The legendary actions are designed to reflavor this champion to a scion of their god - the first o...

[Divine] NPC - Divine Champion

If you need a divine antagonist, here they are! This champion will work for any god and will be a moderately strong encounter. Their ability to recover from mortal wounds gives them an extra buffer when needed - to survive some very deadly save-or-suck spells.

The divine champions are expanded on in the 2022-08-29 14:01:59 +0000 UTC View Post

[Compendium] - Divine Favors

I had initially only planned for 20 or so pages in this compendium but somehow it grew to 33! Again this number is always intended to go down to 20 for a more stable work-life balance. I just couldn't resist for this one since there are ten gods (one for each damage type), and each one needed an artifact and at least one page...

[Preview] - Divine Favors

This is a preview for August's Divine Favors compendium! This 33-page compendium brings you 10 new setting-agnostic gods, each with their own descriptions, personalities, quests, boons, artifacts, and champions, as well as magic items, monste...

[Divine] Item - Bracers of Zealotry

These bracers are worn by the most devoted of deities, typically by worshipers or divine proxies who need to channel their religious fanaticism. When shaped properly, the bracers allow Gods to briefly inhabit them to communicate with their champions or empower them to overcome an insurmountable obstacle.
