Xerathor's Grimoire of Dread

Embrace the Darkness.
 
In a world where shadows hold secrets too potent to ignore, the line between power and ruin is razor-thin. Xerathor’s Grimoire of Dread is the ultimate toolkit for players and DMs who want to explore the darker side of 5th Edition.
 
This isn't just a collection of monsters; it is a guide to playing characters born of the dark. Whether you are a Graveborn touching the veil of death or a Nocturian gliding through the twilight, this book offers the tools to craft stories where every choice matters and every reward carries a terrible cost.
 
Will you master the shadows, or will they master you?
 
What’s Inside?
This 150+ page tome is packed with content for grim fantasy campaigns:
5 New Dark Species: Play as the spectral Graveborn, the bat-like Nocturians, the hell-forged Inferis, the fear-eating Dreadlings, or the twilight-dwelling Penumbrals.
4 New Classes: Step into unique roles designed for dread and resilience, including the fierce and chaotic Ravager.
54 Cursed Items: Treasures that tempt and betray. These items offer immense power but come with narrative-driving drawbacks that turn loot into a story hook.
34 Dread Monsters: A bestiary of horrors born from hubris and shadow, ranging from subtle creeps to campaign-ending threats.
The Corruption System: A complete mechanical framework to track a character's slide into darkness, giving mechanical weight to moral choices and forbidden power.
