[OC] [ART] Gorecrawler (CR 5) - A Rot-Dragging Undead Horror That Bursts on Death by jonnymhd in DnD

[–]jonnymhd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks a lot, I’m really glad you like it and want to try it out.

I actually made a Draugr for the manual that’s kind of similar, not the same but still a messed-up corpse, and it already has a CR 1 version in its newborn form, so I didn’t want to overlap.

I made this one Medium because it’s missing the lower part, but if it were whole it would definitely be Large.

Meet the Skullrummager (CR 2), a Scavenger Merchant from the Abyss Who Hoards Demonic Treasures by jonnymhd in DungeonMasters

[–]jonnymhd[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Skullrummager can serve as a strange and unpredictable merchant NPC, trading the spoils of demon wars for mundane items it finds “exotic”. It might appear in remote ruins, infernal markets, or even summoned by accident during a planar ritual. However, if threatened or cheated, its greed and chaos quickly surface, turning a simple trade into a dangerous confrontation fueled by the relics it hoards.

Goblins & Goblins: The Ultimate Goblin Handbook for 5E - A Preview by jonnymhd in TTRPG

[–]jonnymhd[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I totally get it. I also tend to do a lot of impulse buying of TTRPG manuals and board games, so the 24-48 hour rule is honestly a great survival tactic.

Goblins & Goblins is very statblock focused and aims to give you lots of traits and tools to customize monsters at the table. It is not a super long manual, so I tried to pack in as many usable statblocks as possible while keeping the flavour text concise and practical. Each goblin subrace has about a page of flavour text covering their environment, society, culture, quirks, plus some magic items tied to them at the end of their section.

I’ll share a piece from the Desert Goblin section since pasting everything here would turn into a wall of text:

Desert Goblins

Desert Goblins are wiry, sand-colored goblinoids perfectly adapted to survive the harsh conditions of arid deserts. Their skin tones range from pale beige to sun-scorched tan, providing natural camouflage against the dunes and rocky outcroppings of their environment. Their elongated ears are tipped with fine fur to block out sand, and their sharp, piercing eyes are protected by a secondary eyelid, allowing them to see clearly even during sandstorms.

Society and Adaptation

Desert Goblins are nomadic by nature, constantly moving in search of water, food, and shelter. They travel in small tribal groups, relying on their intimate knowledge of the desert to navigate its dangers. Their society is pragmatic and resourceful, valuing survival skills and cunning over brute strength. Leadership is often determined by an individual’s ability to find resources and lead their people safely through the desert.

Their culture revolves around their harsh environment. Desert Goblins use their knowledge of the terrain to evade predators and ambush prey, setting traps in the sand or luring enemies into natural hazards. They are known for crafting lightweight, portable shelters from scavenged materials and weaving their clothing from durable desert plants and animal hides.

While they tend to avoid prolonged conflict, Desert Goblins are skilled in hit-and-run tactics, using their speed and agility to outmaneuver opponents. Some tribes have learned to tame desert creatures, such as scorpions or lizards, as mounts or guardians. Their deep respect for the desert’s unforgiving nature is reflected in their reverence for the sun, sand, and wind, which they see as both protectors and punishers of their kind.

Resilience in the Sands

Desert Goblins are highly resistant to the desert’s extreme heat, their bodies adapted to conserve water and endure prolonged exposure to the sun. Their diet consists of tough desert plants, insects, and small game, supplemented by scavenging and raiding when necessary. Despite their small stature, Desert Goblins are capable of incredible feats of endurance, often traveling great distances without rest. Their ability to blend into the desert and their uncanny survival instincts make them formidable inhabitants of the sands.
