Volos 1: Blights (5e)
"One must understand that the twisted¸ vicious monsters known as Blights are a symptom of a much larger¸ fouler disease. Venturing out of corrupted¸ decayed lands awash in malicious energy and contaminated by evil¸ these creatures are driven by a singular desire: to expand." - Volothamp Geddarm A printable player aid for 5th edition Dungeons and Dragons. An idea brought to me by a patron¸ this condensed PDF is meant to be a booklet style player handout¸ much like the informational pamphlets one would find at a zoo¸ explaining in detail the ecology and manner of the creatures present in Dungeons and Dragons 5e such as Blights¸ Displacer Beasts¸ Etter Caps¸ and many many others. Here's what you can expect to find inside: Four unique styles¸ bundled into one. A stylized and printer friendly Landscape verison easy to read on computer monitors and tablets as well as a printer friendly and a Stylized printable booklet to hand directly to your players! Custom blight art by CathalDraws on twitter specifically for this product. A full write up of the life cycle of blights¸ from the spawning of a Gulthias tree to the collapse of the environment around the infestation of evil. Details not found in just the monster manual including tactics¸ habits¸ skills¸ descriptions¸ and natural drive (in this case¸ to corrupt and destroy). New monsters. Each volume will come with 1-3 new stat blocks to fill in the roles left in published material up to this point¸ such as the CR 3 Fungal Blight ! An adventure hook for players in the form of a note written from Volo himself to his would-be investors. As your players send money¸ magic items¸ and support to the far-wandering Volo¸ he will treat them to more and more Volumes relating to creatures easily used in your own games! As more volumes are funded in-game (and here on DMs Guild)¸ they will contain more and more information including tips for defeating the enemies¸ powerful magic item usages¸ and possibly DM charts for loot and descriptions as you'd find in Volo's Guide to Monsters¸ all coming soon.
