Blackened Smith




A dark fey artisan’s strongest tool and favored weapon a blackened smith is blacksmithing hammer made from the fragments of a vainglory and the wood of a deadwood tree. Arcane power visibly ripples across its head, and every time it strikes miniature sparks of lighting sizzle from the point of impact.

Craftman’s Friend. A blackened smith can move and work on its own, and often does. However, when taken in hand by a fey craftsman it allows them to not only shape metal but bind the magic of the Waning Court to their work. Fashioning a blackened smith moves a waning fey from journeyman to master.

Lingering Skill. After being slain most of the once-enchanted hammer remains, including some of its magic. While it can no longer channel lighting or be used as an effective weapon it greatly aids in the construction of magic items. Sometimes a mortal tricks a fey artisan out of an blackened smith, which also disenchants the hammer. These lucky souls often go on to grow a fortune from the wears they produce. However, the bamboozled fey often seeks to repair its honor, with lethal results. A ‘dead’ blackened smith grants advantage on tool skill checks where it might apply.

Coffer Mimic

Most adventurers have either encountered or heard a story of an encounter with a mimic disguised as a chest. This is so common that everyone assumes a chest might just be a mimic. Hopefully, they never run across this monstrosity. Bred and trained by The Moneylender to protect his ill-gotten fortune, these mimics take the form of high-quality chests and possess greedy souls. They horde treasure and protect it fiercely. The more booty the mimic holds, the tougher it becomes - even more so when it robs the dead. If they get too aggressive, the Moneylender sells them off to other villains to populate their castles and dungeons.

Warlock Patron: The Embalmed

You have made a pact with an ancient mummy that while forever entombed beneath sun-scorched sand or impenetrable jungle, can reach out from its sepulcher to influence the living. Perhaps the undead horror was once a powerful sorcerer-king, high priestess of an extinct civilization, or the last remnant of a lost, terrible race. Its agenda and goals match a forgotten age and the mummy's capricious whims. Often the warlock is tasked with recovering artifacts tied to the sarcophagus-trapped horror or its civilization. Some mummies seek to futilely seek to be released from their prison, while others just want to be remembered as a figure of glory and power. Expanded Spell List The Embalmed lets you choose from an expanded list of Spells when you learn a Warlock spell. The following Spells are added to Warlock spells list for you. 1st - Inflict Wounds, Ray of Sickness 2nd - Animal Messenger, Dust Devil 3rd - Bestow Curse, Vampiric Touch 4th - Giant Insect, Phantasmal Killer ...

Gears

Gears can't remember if he was a dwarven hero or a condemned criminal. Either way, he is more cogwork than flesh now and driven to mete out justice with his metal fists. He was first deployed during an intense goblin invasion of a dwarven stronghold. Initially he served as something between a shocktroop and a living weapon, but this cigar chopping 'cyborg' inspired the dwarven defenders fighting along side of him to the point that he became a mascot, then a leader. More times than one could count, he should have gone down under a barrage of attacks only to plow forward losing more flesh and blood later replaced with mithril and steel. Eventually, Gears lost every last dwarf he fought along side and just kept killing goblins whenever he could until the fortress housed him alone. Now he wanders the world, making things right the best he can one punch at a time. Gears Medium construct (dwarf), chaotic good Armor Class 12 (natural armor) ...
