The kobolds at Kobold Press have done it again! The Midgard Heroes Handbook for 5th Edition is already available from the Kobold Press store, with physical copies starting to arrive in the hands of gamers this week. And there is a lot. New playable races, subclasses, midgard heroes handbook for 5th edition pdf download, feats, backgrounds, spells, weapons, alternate optional rules, creatures and more. This scope of this review is not intended to diagnose balance or power level of any options, or to critique the mechanics design contained herein.
For Kobold Press, their Midgard setting is no different. The designers for the book include top name individuals in the industry like Shawn Merwin, Jon Sawatsky, Richard Green and Dan Dillon to name just a few of the stellar lineup. Along with their work, the book is beautifully illustrated by a team of wonderful artists under the direction of Marc Radle. Standout among them for me is Bryan Syme, whose work appears in a lot of Kobold Press products I own. Joining Syme is an extremely talented group of artists giving the content a unified look that ties all the material together visually.
Midgard Heroes Handbook starts off with a terrific overview of the Midgard setting. Several regions and locations are given just the right amount of information. Major individuals, events and peculiarities for each area contain enough jumping on points to spark your imagination without delving too deeply that a reader could get lost. I really enjoy this approach. The rest of the book is a dream come true for players who crave more options for their 5E characters.
A full pages is packed with races, subclasses, feats, backgrounds and magic — including not only spells but unique new ways to both cast and interact with magical energy. As I thumbed through the book, midgard heroes handbook for 5th edition pdf download, I was truly astonished by the breadth of the content.
Game Masters themselves midgard heroes handbook for 5th edition pdf download an appendix as well, with new creatures, magic items and conditions to provide boons and banes for characters in your games. A healthy amount of the content in Midgard Heroes Handbook is drawn from other existing Kobold Press products, so a word of warning there. But much of it is revised and tweaked in this book. There are ten wholly new playable races and nine new subraces for existing character options in standard 5E content.
The takeaway for me after looking through this hefty section of the book goes back to what I initially said about doing a campaign setting book right. While any of the subclass options can find a home in other games, what they do for Midgard is create a background that cleaves to the 5E ruleset while making it possible to play entire campaigns with amazingly unique qualities solely from the options in this book. What I mean is, perhaps in your campaigns, the only sorcerers in the world are Mazeborn or Shadow origin spellcasters, the only rogues are Duelists, Fixers and Whispers, and so forth.
This is in no particular order. Something that really caught my attention is the large number of new cleric domains. While standard 5E clerics have a good variety to choose from, these new options open up many possibilities, midgard heroes handbook for 5th edition pdf download. Clerics of the moon, travel, justice, labyrinth and the above-mentioned beer give cleric players tons of new avenues to explore. Another thing worth mentioning is the subclasses are organized under martial and roguish characters, divine characters, and arcane characters.
Martial characters get a whole section of new weapons and options for fighting with them, and divine and arcane casters includes a section on runic magic. Since I have quite a few books in the Deep Magic series from Kobold Press, many of the options for arcane characters look familiar, like the Angelic Scribe, High Magic and Elementalist.
Another area that helps really define a setting, background and feat options provide more opportunities to customize characters.
Like all the material in the book, these options would be super easy to drop into any campaign. There are some that are closely tied to other options in here, like those geared towards Dragon Magic for example. As for backgrounds, which are one of the best innovations to come from 5E, there are a whopping 22 new ones to choose from. Geomancy and runecasting build on the 5E spellcasting foundation in ways I am sure huge numbers of players will enjoy. Geomancers take advantage of ley lines, invisible rivers of magical energy flowing around the world.
This content can very easily be adapted by GMs for other settings too. Proximity to ley lines alone is enough to affect spellcasting. Employing aspects like this in your own games can add really fun twists and environmental effects to encounters or locations to make for memorable moments at the gaming table.
Imagine adventuring in ancient ruins suffused with magical energy where casting a spell could result in anything from only costing a bonus action or doubling the range to losing one spell slot of your highest available level or magic items losing 1d4 charges.
Runic magic and rune rituals likewise put a whole new spin on spellcasting with a unique new system for using and casting this sort of magic. Nerdarchists Dave and Ted did a video about Deep Magic: Rune Magic if you want to learn more about this robust system.
And then we arrive at the new spells. Glancing over the new spell lists for all of the spellcasting classes, I was blown away to see the sheer volume. Overall, the number of new spells here is staggering. By far, the most intriguing material in the appendix is the Horses of Midgard section. Midgard heroes handbook for 5th edition pdf download pretty mundane right?
Seven distinct varieties of horses takes something innocuous like these real world animals and puts a fantastical spin on them. I really enjoyed seeing something as common and normal as a horse given this sort of treatment.
Two new magic items and two mundane items round out the appendix, before the final entry — two new conditions. You could use the new subclasses to present new cultures in your world, new spells enemy casters can wield midgard heroes handbook for 5th edition pdf download your heroes and new races midgard heroes handbook for 5th edition pdf download subraces to reveal new regions their own unique styles.
