Tome of Lore, The

Monsters you’ve known for years suddenly have new special abilities, new tactics, and new behaviors. Read about the culture of Kobolds, the psychology of Orcs, and the special units of Ettins.

Combat is deadlier. Unless the monsters you’re battling are in the Dimwitted or Mindless classes of our new rating scale, General Intelligence, they’ll no longer make the mistakes you’ve grown used to: Dividing their numbers equally between PCs, not adjusting to combat as it unfolds, and never fighting at peak ability.

These new features have reinvigorated our campaigns, and we think they’ll add fear and excitement to yours.

The Tome of Lore was originally included in The Grim & Deliberate Beast Kickstarter campaign and contains:

• Five tiers of d100 narrative A. I. to command your Horde, Heroic, Undead, Aberrant, and Mythical monsters.
  
• A catalog of linchpin combat events and narrative blueprints for behavioral change as combat unfolds.
  
• Deep lore on culture, psychology, special abilities, special units, grudges, and weaponry for each monster.
  
• A library of over 200 combat insults for saucy monsters to hurl at your party.
  
• Extensive Critical Hit and Death Blow Tables by Weapon Type and Body Location, for gruesome results.
  
• Tricks & Traps! Over 200 original new traps to terrorize your friends. Organized by lethality and environment.
