The Lodestar: Advanced Class Information

Last month EN5ider introduced the orb-wielding Lodestar class. This month we have two new Training Methods for the Lodestar: Imaginative training which enriches the soul, discovering peace by way of indulgence; and Instinct training which melds soul and body, tempering soul fragments to act naturally and instinctively.

• #232. The Lodestar: Advanced Class Information. Last month we introduced the orb-wielding Lodestar class. This month we have two new Training Methods for the Lodestar: Imaginative training which enriches the soul, discovering peace by way of indulgence; and Instinct training which melds soul and body, tempering soul fragments to act naturally and instinctively.
• #231. ZEITGEIST #5 (Part 1) - Cauldron Born. A conspiracy has woven itself firmly into the dark underbelly of the city of Flint. The Royal Homeland Constabulary (RHC) has learned of its existence and knows it has a base beneath the haunted mountain named Cauldron Hill. Now at the king’s command it is time to rip this threat from its shadowy womb and thrust it into the light of day. While they pursue that mission, two other forces are at work in Flint: a cult of dwarven assassins who want to disrupt a peace summit, and a rogue lord of the Unseen Court who seeks a war between man and fey. Either plot will spell disaster for Flint. Can the constables spare the time to stop them before the doom beneath Cauldron Hill is born?
• #230. Villain Spotlight: Syndrathrax. A mighty CR 27 monster! While technically an ancient red dragon, Syndrathrax’s necromantic transformations and attempted apotheoses have forever altered her. Though she shares the massive size of her fellow red wyrms she is gaunt and skeletal, and her scales sapped of their red luster and now bone white. Thanks to the necromantic energy that permeates her body she radiates a faint spectral glow that she can mask when she chooses--the souls of those that she has swallowed are sometimes seen struggling vainly to escape in this light.
• #229. The Lodestar: Basic Class Information. Whatever form their training takes, all lodestars possess a fractured soul. To keep themselves from unraveling into madness they must train and hone their skills, becoming masters of both body and mind. The Lodestar class uses lodestones, magical spheres which orbit the lodestar, and which can attack, defend, and more. By Andrew Engelbrite; illustrated by Yihyoung Li.
• #228. The Mahout: Advanced Class Information. Last month, EN5ider introduced the new Mahout class, a beast-mastering specialist. This month we expand on that class with new regimens to add to the Animalist found in the basic article. The Monstrous Regimen has more in common with fearsome monstrosities than with those of their own kind, and the Oddball Regimen has bizarre and strange pets like gelatinous cubes and cloakers. Also within are new the monster tricks: Confound, Defend, Hunt, Interfere, Mobility, Pack Tactics, Perform, Second Wind, Use Feature, Use Limited Feature, and Work.
• #227. Anatomy of an Alien World. The DnD multiverse is filled with many worlds... that we know of. But who keeps track of the infinite numbers of fantasy worlds and planes that lie beyond our knowledge or at the end of a mysterious portal or teleportation spell gone awry? Randomly determine an exotic world's topography, species, civilisation, magical elements, and other bizarre aspects like dead or wild magic, different time or gravity, and more. by Jeff Gomez; illustrated by Phil Stone.
• #226. Spellshaper. Able to control the flow of magic around them, some warriors are destined from birth to live an exceptional existence—and by their very nature become legend. With an impressive degree of martial prowess, spellshapers are fell opponents capable of negating and redirecting mystical forces their foes bring to bear with terrifying counterattacks of raw power.
