Hello everyone,
Another Iconic monster from Trench Crusade,
The guardians of the Great Sultanate of the Invincible Iron Wall of the Two Horns that pierce the Sky.
According to the lore, they are insanely powerful, so I made their CR high enough to reflect that.
Enjoy!

Hello good hunter,
Here’s Blackglass, a legendary dagger carved from the first shard of night itself.
It’s a weapon that dances best in the dark—letting you slip through the shadows, strike unseen, and bend the void to your will.
Humans, according to alchemy, are made of 3 main compon...

Hello good hunter!
Trench Crusade is awesome, and has a lot of cool ideas, I'm really into the Iron Sultanate right now, so here is a couple more conversions of their units to D&D.
This release contains two versions of the creature:

Hello good hunter,
Here is an intense magic item for you.
The Arcanum Skullclamp.
A gilded crown of needles, which drives raw leyline magic straight into the mind, granting visions of impossible truths and communion with things that should never be heard.

Hello good hunter,
Born to serve the whims of weary alchemists, the Crawlkin were made to fetch, to climb, to hold.
Their many limbs scuttled along ceilings and walls, the perfect tool of obedience.
But with the death of their masters, they now steal what they once delivered. Snatching flasks, scalpels, ...

Hello good hunter,
In the damp silence of forgotten laboratories, the Homunculus Midwife tends to her vats. She hums to the things inside—half-formed, twitching, hungry. Her hands are steady, her voice kind, her purpose monstrous.
Each new creation she delivers is less alive than the last, yet s...

Hello everyone,
What happens when magic and alchemy intertwine?
The result is a new branch of magic: Alchemical Magic, a dangerous art where formulas replace prayers and blood becomes the catalyst of creation.

Hello good hunter,
Here are the Snake God Cultists.
Once human, now something far more unsettling.
These devotees of the Self-Devouring Snake God have traded their flesh and sanity for arcane powers, for you see, humans of the South were born without the potential for magic.
They took matter in thei...

Hello everyone,
Here's a cleric of the devouring domain.
It's for the Southern border of Luyarnha, where humans cannot use magic.
To palliate this fact they ingest flesh of the Self-Devouring Serpent God, which sacrifices their flesh, but grants them the power of the arcane.

Hey folks!
Alchemy has traces linking it back to ancient Egypt, so some theme appropriate monsters seemed fitting.
The Spellcatcher Sahir are dark sorcerers bound to genies, capable of, you guessed it, catching spells.

Hello everyone,
Update 2.0 to the subclass, now with balanced rez math
This subclass was heavily inspired by Dark Souls
I wanted to capture that relentless undead vibe where death is just a checkpoint, like respawning at bonfires, except modified to fit in grimdark campaigns for D&D.
The themes are alchemy and sanctioned unholy magic.
By sanctioned I mean heretical arts which are approved by the Church for the "Greater Good"

As the 2nd Eldritch Crusade loomed, the Mercurial Enclave issued a murderous decree, legalising human experiments.
The alchemists took to the streets and dragged screaming citizens in their labs, in a mad quest for the creation Philosopher's Stone. This blood-soaked folly claimed countless lives, but gave birth to...
Hello everyone,

The Potioned Pugilist are elite alchemists who turned into hulking fighters, chugging potions for frenzy.
