WHAT’S IN THIS ISSUE?

Four Fantastic Adventures with 8 Beautiful Battle Maps

This issue includes 4 brand-new adventures perfect for a wide range of levels and each one is complete with dramatically detailed battle maps, unique creatures, interesting NPCs, beautiful artwork, custom items, and deep lore that you can use outright or pick and choose pieces of it to flesh out your world.

The Adventures Ahead of You:

• • Temple of the Clockwork King (4th Level): A pirate king seeks an ancient artifact hidden in a jungle temple and protected by a clockwork guardian, and tricks the characters into daring the puzzles and traps to bring him the treasure.
  • Curse of the Sea Wraith (15th Level): An undead kraken roams the oceans under the command of a cursed crew seeking souls to feed an immortal curse. If they don’t find a way to escape, the adventurers will find themselves added to the ever-growing pile.
  • Ballad of the Bonny Bard’s Booty (1st Level): While hunting for buried treasure, the adventurers find themselves attacked at sea by pirates and shipwrecked aboard a jungle island.
  • Horror of the Deep (9th Level): A wealthy archeologist petitions the characters to help them investigate an ancient ruin beneath the sea. What they find is a horror-filled prison hiding an ancient evil that can threaten the entire material plane.

Two Brand New Subclasses

This issue brings a brand new subclass for Bards and Clerics. Each subclass is configured to automatically apply all of your new class features as you level up so there’s no pesky bookkeeping as your players grow stronger.

College of Full Sails – Bard

Life on the sea can be an arduous one. Hard work and toil under an unforgiving sun, creatures who view a crew of sailors as nothing more than another option on their menu, and attacks from pirates (or privateers) are all real and true hardships that accompany a career on the ocean. It would be all too easy for spirits to wane under the weight of these ever-present burdens. But for those crews fortunate enough to contain a bard from the College of Full Sails, a waning spirit is never an option.

• Bolster or shield your allies using a reaction
• Sing a restorative shanty to renew your allies and reduce their exhaustion
• Stopper death, with the option to utilize your bardic inspiration for extra benefits
• Invigorate your allies to unleash extra attacks using the power of inspirational song.

Black Salt Domain – Cleric

It’s been said that mortals should be wary of staring too deeply into the void for fear of what they may find peering back from that ceaseless darkness. But what of those souls who focus their gaze not beyond the distant stars, but into the inky, roiling depths of the infinite ocean? More free-ranging shamans than dogmatic priests, clerics who join the Black Salt Domain are not answering the divine call of any single deity, but heeding the cacophony of siren-like whispers that rise from the unknown depths of the seas.

• Natural benefits and advantages to altering self to an aquatic form
• Channel the Tides of Weal and Woe to reap a number of benefits to bolster your allies
• Unleash the power of the depths against enemies that are struck by your spells and attacks.
• Wear down your foes, using the cold ocean spray to sap away at their agility and vitality.
