Kolyarut | New Monster for Fifth Edition

DM DaveLeave a Comment on Kolyarut | New Monster for Fifth EditionPosted in Monsters Tagged , ,

Kolyaruts represent the ultimate enforcement clause in a contract—they mete out punishment to those who break bargains and oaths. Originally sent from Mechanus to avenge major betrayals, once on the Material Plane, they hunt down everyone from unscrupulous merchants to army deserters. Anyone who reneges on a deal could draw the ire of a kolyarut, although the creature usually ignores inconsequential deals and rashly sworn oaths. Before […]

Those who don’t understand the true nature of haraknins often incorrectly identify them as fiendish lycanthropes.

Demonwrecker Prestige Class | New Player Option for Fifth Edition

DM DaveLeave a Comment on Demonwrecker Prestige Class | New Player Option for Fifth EditionPosted in Player Options Tagged , ,

Spellcasters specializing in demon eradication can gain great fame and prestige—if they survive long enough. Although demons are highly resistant to spells, a demonwrecker’s magic is more effective at penetrating their defenses than magic from other sources. While the elite divine spellcasters known as demonwreckers specialize in fighting demonic opponents, they are almost as effective as their nonspecialized counterparts at combating foes […]
