Open Post - January - "The Death of Magic"

It's a new year and a new threat, can you stop the blank from annihilating magic as we know it? 

We're very excited to share this month's release titled The Death of Magic. This release clocks in at almost 80 pages!

This month's 26 page adventure is designed for players 3rd - 4th level, and is intended to be a very difficult encounter narratively and thematically, but can easily be adjusted to decrease the difficulty for a party between 5th and 6th level.

The adventure takes your party to the town of Graznia, where they will find themselves pitted in the middle of a warzone of conflict between The Blank and the refugee spellcaster Arcanuum members. Will they help the Blank find the stray magic users that may be afoot? Or will they side with the refugees and help deal with the Spell-Seizure Spire's antimagic field and resist the Blank?

January also brings you 14 new statblocks, including five different Blank soldiers of different rank and CR, the mechanical Soma Mauler and the Arcanuum Mage, and the Clockwork Skeleton and Clockwork Siege Elephant - featuring our new Clockwork Template! 

This month also includes 3 maps - featuring the town of Graznia and the homes of the residents. 

You'll get access to our latest player race - the Soma. These beings are a hybrid of organic and mechanic - created by the Blank to be the ultimate soldier. The Arcanuum then found a way to transfer a soul into them, allowing someone to become a Soma and halt the aging process. Some did this for fear of death, while others did it for the sense of adventure it could bring.

We also have a new wizard subclass - the Arcanuum Mage - for spellcasters who must spend their life in hiding and concealing what they are.

You'll also find two new backgrounds - for either side of the war - new feats and new deficiencies (building off of our variant rule allowing for character deficiencies to make feats more available to players).

We've got 6 new spells, prepped and ready for easy use in spell card format!

Help others conceal their spellcasting and blend into the setting with Hide Verbal, shut down a wide area of noise with Silence Others, and put a stop to the mechanical tech of the Blank with Destroy Electronics and Disrupt Mechanics.

16 new items are available to find in this month's release! Embed a crystal into your palm, augmenting your abilities and allowing for discrete spellcasting with a Crystal Graft, seal your consciousness away inside a Soul Shard to begin the process of becoming a Soma, and wield the Bladed Tonfa's into battle.

January also introduces our latest game mechanic - grafts! Grafts are permanently fixed to your body, replacing an existing body part, and allow you the best of both worlds; retaining your biological self, but allowing you to make yourself more with technology. Grafts allow for new abilities both in and out of combat.

This is month is especially close to us as it comes directly from our home game of D&D and we couldn't be more excited to immerse you into our lore and bring you the biggest threat the world has ever faced!

So will you side with the oppressors "In the Name of the Nameless" or will you instead fight for freedom and lay you life on the line for "Magic for All"?
