Description

Heliana’s Guide to Monster Hunting is a 600 page tome of indispensable advice on monsters, hunting them, and what to do after you’ve looted the body!

HUNT

Enhanced Exploration. Embrace the calm provided by an arsenal of over 200 spicy new scenarios. You’ll always be prepared for random encounters in any biome of the Material Plane. Our tracking rules give structure to the trials and tribulations of exploring the wilds. Let us do the heavy lifting so you can populate the wilderness with motive, mystery, and murderous monsters using a single dice roll!
Epic Boss Battles. Heliana’s Guide features 10 monster hunts (+1 bonus hunt!) full of extraordinary monsters for your party to defeat. Test your mettle against the ferocious suneater owlbear, the majestic magnetite dragon, and the enigmatic veiled lady! The climax of each adventure is an epic, three-phase boss battle. Designed for three different levels of play, they’re easy to slot into an existing campaign.
Curiosity, Compensation, & Morality. Engage all your players with our array of adventure hooks! All of our hunts have multiple story hooks encompassing these three pillars of compelling quest creation. If you can spark curiosity, give a moral imperative, and promise a tasty reward, your adventurers are bound to bite!

HARVEST

Waste Not, Want Not! You’ve researched the beast, tracked it to its lair, and dispatched it with deadly efficiency. Now it’s time to chop it up! Heliana’s Guide walks you through how to extract magical components from the creatures you’ve vanquished. No more letting those perfectly good dragon carcasses go to waste!
Easy and Modular. Every SRD creature is accounted for in our harvesting rules, which you can make as simple or as detailed as you like using our modular rule system! Heliana’s Guide details dozens of unique components across all creature types, from volatile glands that explode in your face if you cut them out wrong, to edible delicacies that can be fashioned into exquisite meals.
Unique Components. Each boss monster in Heliana’s Guide contains exclusive components that can’t be found in any other creature. Enhance your weapons and armour with slottable monster parts that grant you new abilities!

CRAFT

Craft Your Own Gear. Enrich your world with functional crafting for D&D 5e, which covers manufacturing, forging, and enchanting. Heliana’s Guide includes crafting recipes for all SRD magic items, as well as over 100 fully illustrated, brand new ones!

Items That Grow. Levelling up is a glorious moment in any session. Our rarity variants double down on that by allowing you to level up your magic items too! Weave a rich story for your players by having their items grow with them as they complete quests and fulfil oaths.

Adventurous Cooking. Delight in the rich flavour of aboleth ramen or stuff your face with a magnetite dragon curry! The new cooking system in Heliana’s Guide lets you mix different monstrous ingredients into over 20,000 unique combinations of effects, and includes unique recipes for each of the boss monsters in the book.

And there’s more

Play What You Want. Heliana’s Guide brings you a wide variety of new player options, so you can build the character you’ve always wanted to play. Explore 10 new player races, including the bizarre oozekin and the raccoon-like rakin. Delve into 9 new subclasses, such as College of Cuisine bard or the School of Biomancy wizard. Channel powerful magic with 69 new spells, like acid rain or arcanomagnetic storm.

Tame New Friends. Do you want to be the very best? Like no one ever was? Well, to capture the essence of mythic monsters is your real test, and to tame them is your cause! The brand new Tamer class lets you capture and train the monsters you fight during your adventures, forming your very own menagerie of fuzzy companions… or army of devastating behemoths. Create bespoke familiars from the boss monsters in the adventures, each with its very own improvement tree!
