In terms of content, this is 150 pages of gaming and setting options with a distinctly South American flavor. This book offers 13 forms as alternatives to races for your campaign. Forms are less about a fixed background and more about options to discover who you are and enjoy key storytelling moments. In addition, there are 2 new classes, 12 new subclasses, spells, equipment, etc, and over 25 new creatures.

Sure there’s a fallen god and some elementals, but there’s an undead creature with its own lair (a forgotten temple), and, best of all, five high CR orcs and goblinoids. Let’s be honest, orc bosses are the heavies of low level characters, but having them be the final villain is rarer. This book helps to tie the beginning of your character’s rise to their completion.

[B]EN Publishing[/B] has you covered with 18 creatures and bosses ranging from CR 11 to CR 20. What’s nice is it’s not just powerful dragons. Sure there’s a fallen god and some elementals, but there’s an undead creature with its own lair (a forgotten temple), and, best of all, five high CR orcs and goblinoids. Let’s be honest, orc bosses are the heavies of low level characters, but having them be the final villain is rarer. This book helps to tie the beginning of your character’s rise to their completion. If you want your campaign’s narrative to have symmetry then this gives you those final chapter baddies to mirror those lower level adventures.
