Let’s take a look at the Alehouse Drake’s creative monster design. The Alehouse Drake and the Living Wick aren’t the most fearsome creatures-they’re both easy foes for 1st-level characters in a straight-up fight, but they’re more than just sacks of hit points with high attack bonuses. Steve Winter and “Kobold-in-Chief” Wolfgang Baur recently co-designed the first major D&D 5e adventures, Hoard of the Dragon Queen and Rise of Tiamat, but they have been hard at work making D&D supplement for decades.Īnd that’s why we’re excited that we get to preview not one, but two of the monsters from the Tome of Beasts.
The creative minds behind Kobold Press have done a lot for D&D. If you don’t know the name of Kobold Press, you probably know something they’ve published.
The long answer: It’s a book of monsters by Kobold Press that’s bigger than the Monster Manual. What is the Tome of Beasts? The short answer: it’s over four hundred new monsters from some of the best D&D designers around, it just came out, it’s the hot new thing!
