Description
Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes is a book for Dungeon Masters looking to host Dungeons & Dragons. D&D is the popular, global tabletop roleplaying game from Wizards of the Coast. The core rules of how to run a D&D session (or larger campaign) are in other books. Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes is for DMs that want to take things to the next level…
Are you a DM that’s running a published campaign adventure? Or are you designing your own home-brew shenanigans? Either way, one thing remains constant. You want to create a world that feels real, lived-in, and one with excitement, danger and adventure at every corner. Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes has the tools to help you achieve that.
The first half of this hardback book features 114 pages of lore, to help you flesh out your campaign world. There’s intricate details about conflicts and cultures. The Blood War within the Nine Hells. The divided race of elves. The constant duel between dwarves and duegar. The grudges between the githyanki and the githzerai. And, of course, the poor unfortunate souls (gnomes and halflings) who get caught up in the middle…
The second half of Mordenkainen’s is over 140 pages of monster stats. Thought you’d thrown everything there was to throw at your party out of the Monster Manual? Think again! Each creature has their own detailed lore and background, giving you an idea of how to introduce them. How to roleplay as them. There is, of course, the six key stats (STR, DEX, CON, INT, WIS, and CHA) for each creature, as well how they attack. These beasties are sure to beef up combat!
The glorious artwork will inspire you to dream up encounters galore. The tables will help you create details on the fly, if needed. And the history on offer will aid you in creating unforgettable adventures for your party of heroes. Mordenkainen’s Tome of Foes is a key tool in any DM’s bag of tricks.
