Looking for a way to spice up your campaign? Need something to inject a bit of weirdness into your game? Did the party just head off in some random direction you didn't expect?
Offbeat Encounters is the solution for you!
This bookmarked, color PDF contains 10 scenarios ready to amuse you, torment your players, and provide fodder for stories you'll reminisce about for years to come. In addition to the 10 scenarios, the book includes sidebars on topics such as drilling holes in the skulls of living creatures as a medical practice and the creation of the amphibious slave-people called skum.
New and updated creatures include:
an aboleth infant
skum enhanced with magical ability
an Inspirited rat swarm, which moves into holes bored in the heads of its victims
a Black Cloud of Vengeance, a living storm of astounding power
chittering gnomes, tiny monstrosities that spread madness for their masters
creatures rebuilt and "improved" by an insectoid mad scientist
a swarm of skeletons focused on returning their long-lost master to power
the insectoid scientist itself, intent upon furthering its own designs upon its patients
There are a total of 9 creature statblocks, which include three new swarms, one new template, and three radical variants on common monsters.
NOTE: This book does NOT include "The Wayward Warlock" or "The Well of Suka Damu," identically formatted encounters also available now.
A NOTE ABOUT ORGANIZATION IN THIS DOCUMENT: There isn't any to speak of. The file is well-bookmarked, though, and easy to navigate.
If you like what you see, please leave a rating and review, and feel free to check out my other offerings on DM's Guild!
