Wrath & Rage 3.0 Anathema Creature: In addition to their physical impact on a region, orcs cast a long psychic shadow wherever they lair. The stench of defeat and rage follows them everywhere, and whatever they touch for long carries the taint of futile, incoherent fury. In rare cases, orcs’...

Wilderness & Wasteland 3.0 Bog Mummy: For unknown reasons, corpses that have been preserved by Titan-tainted bogs have been reported to stalk their final resting place. Bog mummies resemble shriveled and desiccated versions of their former selves, wearing the tattered remains of their clothing...

A point worth emphasizing is that an unarmed strike is not a light weapon so you need something like the monk class ability to punch ( or grapple) as a bonus action. The tavern brawler origin feat and the unarmed fighting fighting style feat do not allow you to make unarmed bonus attacks. An...

That makes sense with Greenwood being behind so many new monsters in Dragon.

Oh yeah, the whole coincidental magic theme clashed a bit with a lot of my group who when they play powerful reality shaping beings want to throw actual fireballs or pull out crazy mad scientist devices. I was on board to hypnotize people with my crystal pendant and be undercover mage man, but...

I really like the concept of NWoD Changeling the Lost where you are magically warped escaped former kidnap victims of Mythos like True Fae. I incorporated some of that into my D&D/pathfinder games. I have not used any Changeling the Dreaming concepts or stuff. In theory I like the more werewolf...

I haven't played D&D for over a year now, but I am a player in a weekly online fantasy game using a non-D&D homebrew system. I think when I start going back to my face to face group they are currently doing a d20 modern x-files type campaign. I still really like D&D and a lot of D&D discussions...

Lillend I recognize from 2e and 3e but not the other three, where did they show up later?

I found the Paizo APs were pretty bad about not having a consistent recurring villain, often having the end boss only be introduced in the last module. Often this is because the typically six modules are written by different authors and they focus more on their assigned theme and on making them...

I remember my brother got excited about playing a Son of Ether mad scientist. I can no longer remember what my friends played or who was running it. A couple things. I think the GM was not entirely comfortable with what open ended magic was supposed to be able to do conceptually or mechanically...

Looks like stuff that was later added to the 1e Unearthed Arcana ranger update, mostly expanding the giant class list for FF and MM II stuff. UA has provision for rangers with specialization though. From the CD: Humanoid/giant class opponents Following is an expanded list of those humanoid...

Not sure what is going on with the line going down from the center one's nose, is that an indication of being inhuman? A binding to keep its mouth sealed? A mark on the cover and not something that should be part of its face?

I played in one Mage the Ascension 1e game. I learned to play from reading a friend's Mage core book without having one of my own but having played a ton of Vampire the Masquerade so I went in familiar with the d10 system basics. I made a mind oriented Order of Hermes magi who was a...

The CD archive is great but some might consider it over 250 products instead of a single one. My favorite single product would be the 2e Faiths & Avatars. A great mix of flavor and crunch. It sets out information on the main FR gods with breakdowns on the gods themselves and their areas of...

Tome of Horrors 3.0 Apparition, Standard Apparition: Apparitions are undead spirits of creatures that died as the result of an accident. A creature slain by an apparition rises in 1d4 hours as an apparition. Barrow Wight: A humanoid slain by a barrow wight becomesabarrowwightin1d4rounds. Bhuta...

There are things that try to eat us that we eat. I have had fried gator and meatballs made from bear and wild boar sausage all of which come from animals that occasionally eat people, but they are very much a minority of general human diet.

This unfortunately has the effect of undercutting the usefulness of looking things up alphabetically quickly at the table as they are normally written, so a module with an encounter with an ancient blue dragon and a blue slaad will mean you find only one of them under the B section as expected...
