Archetypes. Game leaders who design their own adventures and campaigns will sooner or later need to tweak available creatures or create new ones. This second volume of Creatures includes 5 new archetypes that can be applied to existing creatures, allowing for the creation of customized antagonists, allies, and encounters based on existing creature profiles.
You will not meet only monsters in the depths of the world :) Here you can see a Svirfneblin, one of the playable species
Varied ingredients and resources for your next campaign into subterranean locales. Cultures of the Netherworld; dangers and wonders of the underground; daily life presented bit by bit across the book to favor immersion, guidelines on creating a party of Netherworld natives, resources on isolated languages and dialects… Creatures: Complete Monster Compendium 2 is much more than a catalog of monsters to defeat. It offers a full-fledged world, featuring potent ingredients to design your next campaign and covering 3 very different styles: Horrific dark fantasy, Twilit wonder, and Mystical science fantasy.
20 Netherworld Perils: Subterranean worlds are fascinating, but can also be highly hazardous! Perils are environmental dangers akin to large-scale traps, most often natural: avalanche, blizzard, ash storm… or simply altitude sickness! Perils are one of our original creations, and were designed to add a new, thrilling aspect to your games. May they bring you and your players a lot of fun, tension, and challenge! Creatures 2 features 20 new Perils: 5 Perils of the mines and caverns (including several ones with adjustable dangerousness), 7 Perils of the depths, and 8 supernatural Perils of the Netherworld.
