Wild creatures join your fifth edition adventuring party in this RPG supplement. Companions like owlbears, basilisks, and gelatinous cubes build ferocity during battle, spending it on special actions such as Earthshaker or Slime Shower. Too much ferocity risks a rampage that turns them against you.
The beastheart class pairs adventurers with these wild partners through five subclasses: Ferocious Bond, Hunter Bond, Infernal Bond, Primordial Bond, and Protector Bond. Eight magic items enhance companions and their handlers. Strategy fans who enjoy managing risky allies in indie RPG campaigns will find focused rules here.
Beastheart and Monstrous Companions
Who doesn’t want an owlbear best friend? Beastheart and Monstrous Companions provides rules for adding wild creatures to your fifth edition adventuring party. In battle, your companion builds ferocity, a new resource they can spend to use special actions like Earthshaker, Slime Shower, and Owlie Oop. But beware! If your companion builds up too much ferocity, they can enter a rampage and might just attack you instead. Fifteen companions are included in the product:
- Basilisk
- Blood Hawk
- Bulette
- Deinonychus
- Dragon Wyrmling
- Earth Elemental
- Gelatinous Cube
- Giant Spider
- Giant Toad
- Giant Weasel
- Hell Hound
- Mimic
- Owlbear
- Sporeling
- Worg
The supplement also includes the beastheart, a brand-new class that uses the companion rules to create an adventurer with a wild partner. The beastheart is presented with five new subclasses: Ferocious Bond, Hunter Bond, Infernal Bond, Primordial Bond, and Protector Bond.
The product wraps up with eight new magic items made for companions and their caregivers, and an original piece of fiction from Matt Colville, “The First Meeting.”
Dive into adventure with a ferocious friend!
