  • Vengeance follows a twisted trail for the Crooked Path Paladin

The Unmade

New Class

For the Unmade, comfort and peace seem distant. You are a monstrosity, bound together by stitch and bolt.

  • You are constructed — an undead built from the dead and discarded.
  • Human, beast, machine, and monster — all may be stitched into your form.
  • A necromantic ritual fuels your strength and magic.

Tinkerer Class

Remastered

A Tinkerer is a master of machines and contraptions. Your genius can solve any problem and engineer any solution.

  • Build weapons that fire, fold, and surprise.
  • Soar on hawk-feather wings or unleash a mechanical wolf.
  • Fire from a crossbow that reloads itself or disarm a trap from across the room.

Monsters you'll never forget.

Slag, an elemental fire dragon
Isjormun, a gargantuan arctic serpent
T'grrar-dan, apex predator of the savannah
Nightmare Dragon, an eyeless dragon dripping with decay

From the bone cricket that uses its legs to bore into your bones for marrow to Slag, the elemental dragon, whose corrosive aura rusts your sword before you get to use it, every entry is illustrated with original, hand-drawn art and immersive lore for inspired encounters.

Like snapping a new LEGO SET into the worlds you already love.

Each biome & ecosystem is campaign-ready:

KHOR,
the Poisoned Jungle

The Barskhor is the jungle's apex predator. It and every creature are connected within a rich and deadly ecosystem.

Spring blooms of Tsetsegkhor grass match its red scales. Khorkhoi insects pollinate the grass and brew poisonous honey. Heartwing finches nest in galmod trees and fertilize the soil that grows the grass. Spores from the chuluutsetseg mushrooms lure unwary prey from miles away.

In Khor, part of the hunt is just surviving the habitat.

Craft & Wield Monstrous New Gear

Granma's Whisper, a magic item crafted from monster components

Rend World provides rich player options and customization. With Heliana's Crafting compatibility, the creatures you slay become the items you wield. Harvest the slimigator's tongue. Slag's molten dragon core. Turn ecology into arsenal.

  • Harvest unique components from every creature.
  • Craft signature weapons & items tied to the monsters that bore them.
  • Fully compatible with Heliana's Guide to Monster Hunting.
