Whether scholar, skald, or scoundrel, a bard weaves magic through words and music to inspire allies, demoralize foes, manipulate minds, create illusions, and even heal wounds. Of all the bards, the greatest of their kind are the maestros who are to bards as archmages are to wizards. [su_note note_color=”#fafafa”] Maestro Medium humanoid (any race), any […]

This stat block kicks off my “monster of the day” series where I hope to create 366 new monsters between now, January 1st, and the end of the year, December 31st, 2020. I’ll be starting with warlocks. Although they appear in VGtM, they are not SRD, which means I can’t use them in my adventures. […]

A brash but brilliant inventor, Stark was self-described as a genius, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist. With his great wealth and exceptional technical knowledge, Stark was one of the world’s most powerful men following the […]
Mobs are fun. After all, every player with a high-level character imagines what it’d be like to run through a mob of a bunch of CR 1/8 weenies. Logistically, though, it’s a pain, especially for the GM. For example, if you wanted to challenge a group of four 10th-level adventurers with kobolds (CR 1/8), you […]
War Boys are handpicked at a young age by the guardians of the elevator platform of The Citadel and are indoctrinated as zealots in the cult of V8 with Immortan Joe as their immortal leader.
