5e: Creatures of Fairy-Tale and Myth (hardcover)
This lore book provides Dungeon Masters with detailed and pre-generated monsters who roam the worlds that hang upon the world tree Yggdrasil.

The Creatures from Fairy-Tales and Myth also introduces rules evolution's for social combat along with monster secrets and vulnerabilities. Players will also find the brand-new Blacksmith class fully detailed within these pages.
For as long as we’ve lived upon this green earth, we have recounted fire-side stories of things that go bump in the night. We have conjured explanations for the unimaginable, and within our consciousness, they have taken the forms of ghouls and ghosts. These creatures have been the focus of fairy tales, sagas and myths. Only the brave and wise have overcome these adversaries… for one must first learn of their weakness, before setting out to vanquish them.
This book is a monster manual for the 5e game system using the open-gaming license (OGL). It requires the Player’s Handbook to play. Each creature is illustrated and presented with myth, lore and game stat pages. The stats include 5 challenge ratings (CRs) of power, allowing a GM to use them for any situation with zero-preparation.
Creatures from Fairy-Tales and Myth also expands the d20 system by adding social combat mechanics along with secrets and vulnerabilities. This will allow players to recreate scenes that mirror saga and fairy-tale depictions.
