Creature Components - Tome of Beasts

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Selected Option:

Harvest the essence of elementals, the scales of dragons, and the blood of genies for use in augmenting your own spells or take it a step further with mods to magic items, weapons, and armor.

For generations, wizards have sought ways to augment their already substantial magical abilities. Centuries of research has yielded countless new spells, metamagic practices, and even the discovery of cooperative spellcasting as a means for making existing spells more powerful. Now you can add even more power to your arsenal with this Creature Components expansion for Tome of Beasts!

With each passing year, the study of arcane alchemy grows. Dedicated students, anxious to seek out inventive ways to augment magic, risk their lives to provide yet more possibilities to the magical community. Their risks have paid off.

From the wondrous world of Midgard comes a new Creature Components volume that expands upon previous experiments and
magical ideologies to include:

- Rules for harvesting hazards to make collecting components infinitely more interesting
- 170 new creature components to expand the repertoire of any aspiring magic user
- New magic items based on creatures from the Tome of Beasts by Kobold Press

This tome expands upon the original Creature Components concept, providing numerous new tools to players and storytellers alike. Empowered spells, wondrous items, and more have been crafted from the blood of beasts...

This book is an expansion to the original Creature Components which can be purchased here.

 "There is narrative potential for years in the system presented here and I absolutely love it to bits. This book is stellar and deserves a final verdict of 5 stars + seal of approval, is a candidate for my top ten of 2016 and receives the EZG Essentials-tag".Endzeitgeist's review of Creature Components Vol 1 for Pathfinder from the Top 10 of 2016! 

Content in this book is part of Playground Adventure's 12 and up line and is not recommended for sensitive small children due to the graphic nature of harvesting creature components. Use of this product at gaming tables involving small children is solely at parental discretion.

This one is for 5e and as for supplements you should get the Deep Magic book from Kobold Press or all 20 of their Deep Magic PDFs.

What does a superscript DM stand for? They're all over the place, tagging spells as far as I can tell, but never seem to be explained. I assume it's some third party book.

Aha! The Deep Magic books. I think you ought to note that they're needed along with the Tome of Beasts for a lot of the content in this book. I wouldn't have bought it if I'd known.

This will also cause me not to purchase this. Thank you for mentioning this. To the devs, I HIGHLY suggest changing this in some way... Or at least mentioning this in the description.

Not criticizing but you are already in the realm of "homebrew" if you're using this supplement. It's pretty easy to translate every creature to another similar type. That's all any of those creatures from the tome of beasts are anyway: analogous monster manual 'type' critters with different art and sometimes a cool feature. And deep magic is hardly needed to make this a good supplement to work from. What's key here for me is the system of designating checks, DCs and mitigating saves for looting 'value' from a monster. Especially if you are really cheap with your loot tables, this makes it worthwhile for players to seek this sort of thing out. I already did something like this, but I'm happy to use this supplement because occasionally I forget my own "made XXX up" rules for things. FWIW, I do have the tome of beasts, but have never bothered with deep magic. Anyway, hope this helps if someone is one the fence and wonders if this requires a secret decoder ring to use--it doesn't.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
