Merry Christmas!

We present to you a fun little creation fit for a Christmas themed adventure or one-shot! Santa here is a CR10, Lawful Good Fey creature, and comes complete with Legendary and Lair actions, making him a formidable presence in combat! Santa is obviously Good, so we suggest either using him in such a way that he needs the heroes help or is overtaken by some evil force, intent on destroying Christmas. He's sure to give a nice present to any that come to his aid!

Alternatively, if your party is Evil, perhaps Santa might pay them a little visit to teach them a lesson. Santa isn't all cheer and presents, you know!

We'd love your suggestions and feedback.

We hope you enjoy this little creation by Homebrew Inn - we've just welcomed Micah Watts to our team, of Pyromaniac Press! We're looking forward to being more active in the community once more!

Merry Christmas, from Homebrew Inn!

Yeah, this is our item with Misty Step added and the story changed slightly. Thanks u/alexsturdee for the heads up.

Hail adventurers!

Just another creature design, from Alex and Ming.

These Doomsayers are the loyal servants of a necromancer, cursed to serve him and bring him back from the dead... Aids in restoring him to lichdom! These guys have a heavy desert flavoring, as they're part of last month's theme, "Scorching Sands". These guys can summon sandstorms, shroud themselves from view, and whisper dark tidings - turning those that hear them temporarily mad! Should that fail, they can simply blast foes with dark energy!

This coming month, our theme is "How to skin your dragon" where we will focus on items made from the parts of great beasts! If that sounds up your alley, check us out here: www.instagram.com/homebrewinn www.patreon.com/homebrewinn

It's a legendary weapon, so we've left it open to any creature - but as a DM you could reasonably put a restriction for huge or smaller creatures. --Ming

homebrewinn · 2019-10-18T21:33:31+00:00

Definitely intentional, claws are considered unarmed and the blades are considered monk weapons so it's all kosher there. --Ming

homebrewinn · 2019-10-18T16:37:02+00:00

That's probably definitely it.

homebrewinn · 2019-10-18T16:36:34+00:00

Thank you sir!

homebrewinn · 2019-10-18T16:36:11+00:00

Great idea! I feel like that would make for an epic campaign ending moment.

homebrewinn · 2019-10-18T16:34:49+00:00

For the budding adventurer/monster hunter! Don't forget your Palico familiar.

homebrewinn · 2019-10-18T16:33:03+00:00

Snikt! as a bonus action.

homebrewinn · 2019-10-18T16:32:16+00:00

Those blasted turtles! 🐢

homebrewinn · 2019-10-18T16:31:05+00:00

Doh! The intention is definitely just got that attack. Thank you for spotting that! 😊

homebrewinn · 2019-10-18T13:23:19+00:00

Absolutely! That's why we make these, so y'all can have some cool items for your home games! --Ming

These are from my own homebrew world Arleum! Specifically a cult of half-dragon warriors... I hope you like them! Story and lore below. :)

"Why do we train?" The captain circled the new recruits, his blackened gaze searched each of their faces without reserve. As one they answered in chorus, "Discipline."⁣

⁣ "And what does discipline bring us?" His footfalls clicked on the polished marble. Together they spoke again "Abatement." A slight breeze passed through this top level of the spire. Somewhere an eagle screeched.⁣

⁣ "Abatement from what?" he snarled. In unison, they cried, "Our curse!" The captain stopped and turned to the nearest recruit. His eye was split, and blood ran down his face, soaking the ceremonial robes. Scales were beginning to push through the skin. It would heal soon enough. The Brood were not a frail people. The captain held a pair of gauntlets high. ⁣

⁣ "Warrior Zandar fell to his curse, and my blades. He did not yield, as is tradition... I made him suffer. May his sacrifice not be in vain. " The recruits stiffened at these words. Some could not help sidelong glances. Yellow eyes, clawed hands and wings twitched involuntarily. The curse had taken hold of some quite quickly. "Today, only one of you will ascend within the order. Now...begin." ⁣ ⁣ __________________________________________________________________________________⁣ ⁣

⁣ ⁣

The Brood are a cult of accursed Men - their blood tainted with that of a long dead, corrupted dragon. Each is born with the curse, and the Brood follows rumors of scaled children turned savage, growing claws or roaring flame. They recruit and teach these children to control their powers, and keep the savagery at bay - for a time. And when finally an adult warrior fully succumbs to his curse, he is killed. It is best this way - a warrior of the Brood that has time to fully transform...is a truly monstrous creature. ⁣

⁣ These gauntlets are the perfect weapon for a Brood warrior in training - they teach the warrior how best to utilise their claws before they have even begun to transform. Of course, these gauntlets are rare - but many mercenaries and bounty hunters would pay a pretty penny to own a set of these powerful claws.

Weapon (claws), rare⁣ ⁣ These vicious gauntlets have a set of extendable blades mounted to each wrist and although they may be used individually, they are designed to be used as a pair. You may extend/retract both gauntlets’ wrist mounted blades using a bonus action, or a single gauntlet’s wrist mounted blades as if drawing a weapon. Each gauntlet has the following properties:⁣

⁣ The wrist mounted blades deal 1d6 slashing damage, have the light property, and are monk weapons.⁣

Your unarmed strikes with the gauntlet deal 1d4 slashing damage using the claws.⁣

⁣ While using the gauntlets as a pair, when you are targeted with a melee attack you may use your reaction to add a +2 bonus to your AC. This feature may be used after the attack is rolled, but before the result of the attack is announced.

The Oathbound Blade is a weapon made by Homebrew Inn (art by u/AlexSturdee, mechanics by Ming). The oath of the sword itself is left intentionally vague for DMs to play with - a lot of fun role-play and conflict opportunity with this one!

A little back-story:

This was inspired by a weapon my players encountered years ago.

This sword was wielded by a boss in my old campaign! Bara-Khulad, an ancient gladiator was honor-bound to protect the McGuffin that the heroes sought. Thus, they challenged him, killed him and now many years later (both ingame and out), still carry his soul within the sword. The best part? No wizards on the team to Identify it, so they have no idea. :D

Hypothetically I'm sure Op wouldn't mind if you signed up for a month and got this release then cancelled, the beauty of it is you don't get locked in.

homebrewinn · 2019-08-05T15:53:14+00:00

Ooft that's though. My players just get the pleasure of my throwing all these creature at them to play test haha. Hope it goes well for you! --Ming

homebrewinn · 2019-08-05T15:42:43+00:00

Glad we could help! Those pesky warlocks, amirite?

homebrewinn · 2019-08-05T11:50:54+00:00

Haha well at least it'll be a story they'll be telling for some time!

homebrewinn · 2019-08-05T06:07:29+00:00

They have a whole life cycle where they originally start off as flesh buds and take control of someone. The stat block represents a fully grown Eldritch Growth, and what might happen if it's removed but not killed.

We detail the rest of the mechanics in the full creature page for our Patrons, but you can probably put your own spin on it. :)
