Bestiary Living Spells

 I have taken a break from ancestries and decided to work on Living Spells! Sorry it been awhile but life got busy. Also no art, LEGO or otherwise as I am not sure how to make LEGO version of these or Hero Forge for that matter!

As becoming the normal there will be a Google Link below to the actual stat blocks, their is five of them, along with a list of already existing creatures in Eberron that have similar vibes to Living Spells that you could chose to use instead of or in addiction what I have here. 

LIVING SPELLS

Remastered Shifter Ancestry and NPC Gallery

More Shardfinder Remaster! Hopefully I start getting these out faster. Re-presenting the Shifter Ancestry! So up front this is created with the assumption you ban Beastkin Heritage as I have absorb a big chunk of those ideas/feats into this 'brew of Shifter. All together I feel this is a much fuller version then my last one; though still might be some growing pains and I always welcome feedback. A lot of the inspiration of this is coming from the 3(.5)e Eberron material. 

Additionally beside the ancestry I have provided a small Shifter NPC gallery you can use in your games; be it Shardfinder or Pathfinder 2e in general. I apologize for making a blog to just present links toGoogle  doc files but right now this is the best way to present my creations to you but I am open to future alternatives if anyone has suggestions.

To learn more about Eberron check out the Wiki, ECS, Eberreronicon or other Eberron resources.

Bestiary Daelkyr Symboint

 Symbionts

Conversion from ECS 3.5

New Creature Trait

Symbiont 

Symbionts are living creatures that can also serve as equipment ranging from weapons, armor and possibly tools that are created and used by planar invaders called the Daelkyr. They are unwaveringly loyal to their creators and do everything to serve them including manipulating, intimidating or outright abusing those they are attached to into serving or completing Daelkyr goals. They always have Attach, Independent, Suppress, and Hinder features. Those with more potent abilities will have a weakness to the special material byeshk and tend to grant a version of that weakness to their hosts. Some rare and powerful symbionts might be able to outright take over their host if they do not comply in serving the Daelkyr.

(Symbionts are akin to Intelligent items but are actual creatures and usually have drawbacks in their use which is why no Investment cost on them. Given the nature of symbionts and how they can potentially act toward a PC it is highly encouraged to check in with your players about including such behavior in your campaign before allowing/using symbiont on a character.)
