Ten new monsters to challenge your players with, four new spells to encourage greater creativity in play, and 16 new magic items to get out of difficult situations.
Three horrifying monsters from my recent 5e horror module The Howling Caverns:
The Gharblest (CR 3): A terrifying mix of the ruthless ferocity of a goblin and the raw power of a Barghest
Qalupalik (CR 3): Slinking from the frozen sea to drag unsuspecting prey into the endless abyss
Wereowl (CR 1): Swift and merciless but easily distracted by shiny things
And seven appearing in the follow-up Colossus Wake:
Chittering mimic (CR 4): A terrifyingly nimble mimic variant that unleashes a stream of disorienting gibberish
Gelatinous pond (CR 4): Rarer and deadlier than their cuboid relations, able to hide in plain sight for years before striking
The Scarlet Jack (CR 21): The manifestation of a broken vow, heartless and unstoppable
Sendrak (CR 10): Nightmare made flesh in the twisted form of a dragon
Silvertongue (CR 5): Charming half-devil specialising in intrigue and subterfuge
Traitor’s Heart (CR 4): A black heart twisted by betrayal refuses to die; the heartbeat of death approaches
Violet pudding (CR 4): Magical corruption taken physical form, spreads chaos and death
Four versatile new spells:
Song of Steel (2nd)
Speak with Stone (1st)
Temper Weapon (2nd)
Words Take Flight (1st)
16 remarkable magic items:
Blade of the Norns: A sickle with the power to snip the threads of fate
Coronal of Insight: Crown of an eldritch being of nightmare bringing with it the curse of knowledge
Egil’s Fury: Enchanted longbow imbued with frost, fire, and lightning
The Elder Horn: Summon an ally or broadcast your intentions to the world
The Eye of Dawn: A morning star forged by the Sun god, destined to burn the undead
Formless Clay: Shape a small ally to fight by your side
Hardened Heart: Once-living heart twisted and corrupted by hatred hardens your own in turn
Indomitable Greataxe: Conquer the demon fear and overcome all odds
Mirror Shield: Deflect a magical force and reflect it upon your foe
Radiant Sphere: Dispel the darkness in a crash of brilliance
Raven Dirk: Vanish in a flurry of black feathers and reappear to deliver a fatal strike
The Scarlet Jack: A cursed coin and manifestation of the cost of a broken vow
The Scintillating Wren: Summon an enchanted bird to act as guide and familiar
Truemetal Circlet: Bestows ancient magical knowledge and power long thought lost
Volundr’s Chain: God-forged iron chain said to summon a soldier of flame
Wings of Steel: Glide on the winds with these exquisite dwarven bracers
