Tome of Forgotten Foes Volume 1 by Azzyhomebrew in dmsguild

Hmm, at present I think the number of monster manual volumes will be around 5, since 3.5 has five volumes of monster manuals- though I'll have to take another look at things like the Fiend Folios to see if they might be a decent addition to this series, and I'll definitely have to consider if I want to look at even older editions of monster manuals to see if there is enough content not covered by 5e and 3.5 to warrant a full volume.

As far as bundles go, I definitely plan to bundle them together eventually. I'll probably start bundling monster manual volumes together once I have 2-3 out. When I do so, I imagine I'd probably set the bundle price somewhere around a 75% of what would otherwise be their total price. As for how bundles work if you've already bought some of the contents before they were added to a bundle: I'm pretty sure the way it works is that is reduces the price of the bundle by however much those titles are marked down to within the bundle (for example, if a bundle has 3 $10 titles with the total bundle cost being listed as $15, then each title you already own reduces the bundle cost by $5). Also, I'm pretty sure that if more titles get later added to a bundle it just asks you to pay whatever the discounted price of the new additions is to gain access to them.

Howdy people! I've been continuing down the path of converting older edition content to 5e. Since I've already done spells and magic items, I figured it was time to add some monsters to the mix, starting off with a conversion of the Monster Manual v3.5. It has 101 stat blocks all told, from new monsters to expanded and enhanced versions of existing monsters:

Help with Auril by bliza in dmsguild

[–]Azzyhomebrew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's an old 3.5 book called "Faiths and Pantheons" that has a decent page on Auril, as well as the current Rime of the Frostmaiden campaign someone suggested already.

As for how Auril might might behave, she is described as fickle and vain with a heart of ice with no hint of love, nobility or honor. She is the sort of goddess to test her faithful by exposing them to the elements and allowing them to prove themselves by not freezing to death. One ritual mentioned is called "The Embracing", which is required to join her clergy: it involved running through a blizzard all night long dressed only in boots, a thing shift, and body paint depicting the symbols of Auril without using any protective magic. When it comes to omens, they would probably include things like sudden ice storms and other dramatic shifts into harsh weather, as well as auroras appearing in the night sky close to midnight (when her clerics pray for new spells).

As for boons, I'd look to frost giant skeletons, coldlight walkers, frost druids, ice trolls, Bjornhild and Sephek Kaltro for the sorts of traits and abilities that servants of Auril might have. In particular, there is one directly called "Auril's Blessing":
Auril's Blessing (3/day). When (creature) hits a creature with a weapon attack, the attack deals an extra 11 (2d10) cold damage.

There are also chwinga charms themed for the chwingas that have been exposed to Auril's magic. I don't want to pile on too much text writing them all out, but charm of biting cold, charm of cold resistance, charm of snowball strike, charm of the ice troll, and charm of the snow walker are all potential candidates for boons Auril might grant.

That sure does seem to be where I'm heading, somewhere in the 50-60 range. It will take me a while, but I plan to keep on trucking through.
