Beastheart and Monstrous Companions Now Available!
🕑 Added 2021-12-15 19:00:06 +0000 UTCHey Patrons,
James Introcaso here to let you know that Beastheart and Monstrous Companions is now available on the MCDM Shop, Roll20, and Fantasy Grounds for $15!
Who doesn’t want an owlbear best friend? Beastheart and Monstrous Companions provides rules for adding wild creatures to your fifth edition adventuring party. In battle, your companion builds ferocity, a new resource they can spend to use special actions like Earthshaker, Slime Shower, and Owlie Oop. But beware! If your companion builds up too much ferocity, they can enter a rampage and might just attack you instead. Fifteen companions are included in the product:
- Basilisk
- Blood Hawk
- Bulette
- Deinonychus
- Dragon Wyrmling
- Earth Elemental
- Gelatinous Cube
- Giant Spider
- Giant Toad
- Giant Weasel
- Hell Hound
- Mimic
- Owlbear
- Sporeling
- Worg
The supplement also includes the Beastheart, a brand-new class that uses the companion rules to create an adventurer with a wild partner. The Beastheart is presented with five new subclasses: Ferocious Bond, Hunter Bond, Infernal Bond, Primordial Bond, and Protector Bond.
The product wraps up with eight new magic items made for companions and their caregivers, and an original piece of fiction from Matt Colville, “The First Meeting.”
Dive into adventure with a ferocious friend!
Surprise: Miniatures Too!
Also, we've got a special surprise for you: five companion miniatures are also now available for purchase on the MCDM Shop! Catch them all:
- Feathers the Owlbear
- Maxine the Hell Hound
- Mot the Sporeling
- Spike the Deinonychus
- Xix the Dragon Wyrmling

Do we know when exactly the minis will restock? It would be nice for Patrons to be able to get an advanced notice so we can snatch them up if we missed them the first time. Or maybe even just buying STLs instead of waiting for the printer to restock.

I humbly second the call for a FoundryVTT port!

I love that enthusiasm! Been playing around with Beast Heart multiclasses and can’t wait to try one out!
I love how your class design seems to follow an idea my brother and I frequently discuss on how we would change existing classes. The class itself is relatively simple as far as the ideas it operates around, and the subclasses are a major decision. I love when the subclass you choose can dramatically change how a class plays.

In the stream Matt brought this up to Jason. They seem to be thinking about doing mini designs where they would be selling the STL files (somewhere in the future). But Jason mentioned that they are not planning on selling STL files for minis that can be bought in the Kickstarter and/or the website but rather done specifically for that purpose (something also to do with exact detailing of the mini sculpts etc)

Done and Done.

Yeah! Does it come with NPC statblocks?
Adam Hodel
Thus far, they've never done any stl releases. But yeah. I would LOVE if I could print some of their minis.
Jan Duve
seconded
This has solved a small problem for me Thank You.
Joshua Sakai
I would love that
Will there ever be an option to purchase STL files to print our own minis?
James Whatson
Also wondering this! EDIT: It's not :(
Vivas Kaul
Is this free to Patrons like the Illrigger was?
