Book of the Dead

The Book of the Dead has long been mired in darkness and all but forgotten, but now the tome has resurfaced, filled with new death-dealing subclasses, magical items, spells and optional rules for budding necromancers and other servants of death.

The Book of the Dead contains:

  • new archetypes for the bard, druid, fighter and wizard
  • four new magical items
  • four new spells
  • two optional rules for necromancers
  • more than 30 zombie versions of creatures from the Monster Manual

New archetypes.

The College of the Dirge is for bards who feel drawn towards death and what comes after it. A bard trained in the dark dirges will learn strong spells of necromancy, how to steal her enemies' life with her bardic inspiration, and how to create and empower undead minions.

The Circle of Blight is for druids who respect the natural order that is rot and decay. A druid of the Circle of Blight learns how to corrupt with a touch, to animate blighted plants and take on the characteristics of the living dead.

The Soulblades are an ancient order of fighters who feast upon the essences of the departed. A soulblade fighter gain useful abilities and even spells from the creatures they've killed.

The Bloodwalkers are wizards who fuel their spells with blood. A bloodwalker can inscribe spells on their own skin, fuel their spells with blood and dead and even use their foes body to transport them across time and distance.

New spells.

The Book of the Dead presents four new spells for any necromancer-in-training: Minor Animate Dead, Corpse Explosion, Decrepify and Siphon Soul.

New magical items.

The Book of the Dead also contains a handful of magical weapons centered around death. There's the Bloodletter, a crossbow that can return its victims to live as shadowy servants. The Ghoul's Mask allow its wielder to take on the form of a ghoul, while the Narr'mori drum enthralls with a deathly rhytm. Lastly, the Zombieskin Shield not only protects its wielder, but also allows him to summon an undead minion.

Optional rules.

Lastly, the Book of the Dead also presents two new optional rules for improving necromancy and making it a more viable option in your game, with two different options for animating stronger (and fewer) undead minions to do your dark work for you. For this purpose, you'll also find an appendix with three dozen new undead minions.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
