Destiny paths are story threads that happen in parallel to a campaign’s Main Mission. They are tasks the PCs can complete to gain additional rewards and worldbuilding details. Which, in turn, will assist in the completion of the Main Mission or even alter the course of the campaign. They’re similar to B stories in TV series.

A Destiny Path consists of a string of Destiny Events, requests that the PCs need to fulfill. They can be assigned to certain PCs or the party before the start of the campaign to be included as part of the character’s background, or offered to them later during gameplay

PLAYTEST MATERIALS VA.0914

Download the Cloudbreaker Alliance Regional Monsters playtest materials here.

The monsters in the Cloudbreaker Alliance Core Rulebook were intended to be self contained in their respective regions. In other words, players are supposed to be able to be challenged all the way from level 1 to 16 within each region. 

But it seems that the design intention was not very apparent to many players. So this supplemental material is created to remedy that, PLUS exhibiting how the unique monster abilities are supposed to work together as intended in a group.

This Regional Monsters playtest material contains:

  • Ulruk Regional Monsters
  • Feyland Regional Monsters
  • Illum Regional Monsters
  • Sanctum Regional Monsters
