The Oceans of Contest are home to a large population of humans. These come in 2 primary factions; the Vagabonds that live under the protection of the 3 Pirate Lords, and the Herculean's of Athens. The Vagabonds live chaotic lives plundering and pillaging the territories of fellow humans and have adapted to excel on the high seas.
In this post I'll be presenting some new conditions that are interesting to use but not so brutal they ruin a players fun, as well as reworking the poisoned condition to match the thematic nature of it.
Warlocks that make a Pirate Lord their patron are blessed with powerful tools from which to channel their dark magics. Dark, magical pistols, nefarious magics and the dreaded black spot are all powerful tools that a Pirate Lord Warlock can utilise to terrorise their foes.
The first Aquatalis where violent, destructive humans, cursed by the ocean itself to take on the characteristics of the ocean creatures they had treat with such disrespect. Now the warped, broken bodies of their ancestors have become powerful boons, allowing them to rule the seas with unrivalled strength.
Otterkin are masters of life in the water, living in small, family-sized communities. They spend much of their life beneath the water, avoiding the ridiculous drama of the surface dwellers.
Brawlers are a melee-focused martial class that rely on their powerful fists, improvised weapons and devastating throws to overpower their enemies. As combat rages on, they build up momentum which allows them to perform powerful techniques, usually determined by their speciality.
Spartans are the elite warriors of Mount Olympus. Exceedingly skilled in a small number of focused weapons, they deal out death with ease. While all fighters are skilled with a range of weapons, Spartans are exceptionally proficient with a few choice weapons that are used in their national fighting style.
Scuttlers is the name used to refer to the giant undead insects that plague the jungles and temples of Floodplains. They come in all variety of insect, yet typically grow much larger than should be possible. From 10ft long centipedes to hulking beetles the size of rhinos, Scuttles would be a fearsome threat, even without the undead enhancements they benefit from.
Froggoth are an elusive race of amphibian humanoids that live beneath the surfaces of the many rivers and lakes of the Floodplains. It is in their solitary lifestyles that they find the means to thrive in this harsh, aquatic landscape.
One of the most respected, proficient occupations within the Floodplains is Hunter-Gatherer. If you are someone that provides for your community, you are someone with potential for greatness. From Fisherman to Diver, the first signs of a reputable figure come from these heroic backgrounds.
Spectral Pirate's are fiercely loyal combatants that have sworn fealty to one of the three great Pirate Lords. In return their patron gifts them impressive boons to control the battlefield and fight dirty. Unlike a regular pirate, Spectral Pirates are able to manifest temporary, ethereal tools in a pinch to sway a chaotic battle.
The definitive overview of the Floodplains with all the basic lore and locations to get you started running (or playing) a campaign in the Floodplains!
The Goblin subspecies known as 'Paddlers' are the most populated race in the floodplains. They live upon large floating cities that roam the landscape in search of new food, which is subsequently ravaged in moments by the starved population.
The Hammerlands is home to a vast variety of fierce beasts, many of which can be domesticated by a brave or lucky hero. In this blog I'd provide 4 creatures that your party could find while exploring the Hammerlands and welcome as a beast companion.
Wizards of the School of Precipitation are masters of aquatic casting and uniquely skilled in collecting excess arcane energy for the purposes of reusing the power. When they cast a spell, they can pluck the arcane power before it dissipates and form rumbling magical clouds above them.
In this post, I'll detail 4 feats that focus on aerial and aquatic combat, and techniques your character might pick up to turn the challenge into strength!
Sodden are tall, ape-like humanoids with a thick layer of dense fur. They have a bright red hue to their skin which is only exposed on their faces and hands. They are a tall, lanky race that grows to around 6 feet in height while not putting on much muscle.
In this post you can find modifications to a number of official class archetypes. I'll be separating them by realm and this post will be a living document that has regular updates as I adapt more official archetypes.
Vultures are masters of taking the discarded remains of others and finding a way to make them into useful boons that help them overwhelm their foes with unpredictable changes to their fighting style.
Magic items are by design, intentional rewards designed to buff your players. They can reward them with buffs, new features, special one-time effects, or even changes to their existing powers. This intentional and purposeful nature allows the DM to be careful and strategic with when the rewards are given and it's because of this, that they are the ideal method for introducing new mechanics to a character's spells.
