Game Summary

From the Usherwood Adventures blog:
  • New character race options;
    • Dragon Hordling; a tortured half-breed mixture of human and dragon. Use the creature’s ability of limited flight and minor breath weapon to your advantage.
    • Half-orcs; two new sub-races of orcish original. The more intelligent goblinesque is allowed to become a magic-user of minor power, and the brutish orgre is a berserking behemoth.
    • Sarngoch; a mysterious race, taller than humans, and more charismatic than elfs. These demi-humans of noble appearance have an innate ability to cast limited arcane spells. But the magic within them is both a blessing and a curse!

  • New character class options;
    • The Jack-of-All-Trades; build a character whose skills are as unique as his carefully-crafted personality. Includes skills from the archetypical classes; assassin, cleric, druid, fighter, illusionist, magic-user, paladin, ranger, thief. Even include talents from new Usherwood class; the Vermean Monk.
    • The Vermean Bard; not just a single class with a broad range of unrelated skills. The Vermean Bard is a collection 7 different, yet related, minstrel classes;
      • Jongleur Magsman; combining both thief and bard skills
      • Lorist Priest; combining both cleric and bard skills
      • Lorist Ovate; combining both druid and bard skills
      • Lyrist Veteran; combining both fighter and bard skills
      • Sonneteer Magician; combining both magic-user and bard skills
      • Sonneteer Trickster; combining both illusionist and bard skills
      • Racaraide Bard; a true adventuring bard

    • The Vermean Monk; a new take on the classic First Edition monk is a martial arts master, without the supernatural abilities that can unbalance your campaign.

  • Challenge your players with 28 new monsters, including six new species of dragon.
  • Reward your players with 10 new magical armor, weapons, and miscellaneous magic items.
  • Open adventuring possibilities with Usherwood’s take on psionics; re-written from the First Edition appendix. These rules governing psionics are more spell-like in the way they are handled, and more easily incorporated into your campaign. This section also includes 14 psionically-sensitive monsters to challenge the would-be mentalists in your group.
