Providers of the Floodplains – Background Options

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.

Fighter Archetype – Spectral Pirate

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.

Playable Race – Goblin (Paddler)

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.

Beast Companions From The Hammerlands

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.

Wizard Archetype – School of Precipitation

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.

Playable Race – Sodden

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.

Rogue Archetype – The Vulture

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 Item – Cape of the Storm Chaser (& more)

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.

Playable Race – Half-Dwarf

Half-Dwarf are the children of a Dwarf and Human pairing. They are the rarest race to find within the Hammerlands due to the rarity in which the two peoples mix but in the event a child is born, they are blessed with a merging of the gifts of both their parents.

Epic Mounts of the Hammerlands

Four unique, one-of-a-kind mounts that intended for high level characters. They are epic rarity creatures that could have entire adventures based around acquiring them. How you introduce them to your game is up to you!

Ranger Archetype – Disaster Walker

Disaster Walker rangers are experts in traversing the most dangerous of landscapes and dealing with natural disasters on a near daily basis. They are trained to make accurate predictions of the unpredictable and always be ready to turn a problem into an opportunity.

The Night of Rising – Encounter Asset Pack

Every year, on the cursed night of Draugate's Hallow, the grounds of the Black-Stave Church stir and tear open as Draugar rise to fall upon the realm once more. Yet the Norn of the Hammerlands are prepared, and stand ready to keep the risen dead confined to the rotten holy site, lest they sweep across the realm in a mindless, violent flood of death and decay.

Playable Race – Dwarf (Dark Elf)

Despite the usual connotations, Dwarves are the largest race in the Hammerlands. The spend their days beneath the mountains crafting art and magic items, striving to find the perfect expression of their skill.

Playable Race – Valkor

Valkor are the rare offspring of a Valkyrie and a Norn. It is uncommon for a Valkyrie to mingle with Humans and even rarer for them to lay together but if they do, there is a small chance of the Valkyrie falling pregnant. Due to its inability to traverse their floating city homeland, the mothers almost always leave the child in the care of the father.
