Fear and Loathing in Faerûn

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Do your Dungeons and Dragons games lack beer that screams when you drink it and tattoo inks that hypnotize people? When your players see a unicorn, do they wonder what would happen if they ground up its horn and snorted it? When you see a vampire, do you wonder if you could drink something that would make your blood toxic to the undead? Do you ever ask yourself if there were alchemical birth control methods?

Well, buy this handbook and all those questions AND MORE will be answered!

Make your players junkies!

Crafting rules for drugs and poisons!

Expanded rules for alcohol!

5e updates of more than 100 drugs from 2nd, 3rd, and 4th editions!

26 new substances never before seen, including the dreaded 'Elf Juice' (guaranteed 100% elf free), an aspic made from boiled fiend bodies, the 'Dose of Haagen' (a liquid drizzled on shaved ice or snow to heal a broken heart), four different birth-control drugs, a resin that lets you read books by eating them, and SO MUCH MORE!

A new prestige class: The Arcane Apothecary!

Random tables for generating more than 10,000 plants and herbal ingredients!

Plus! Silly easter egg connections to the adventures OUT OF THE ABYSS, PRINCES OF THE APOCALYPSE, CURSE OF STRAHD, STORM KING'S THUNDER, WATERDEEP: DRAGON HEIST, WATERDEEP: DUNGEON OF THE MAD MAGE, and TOMB OF ANNIHILATION and at least one really dreadful pun.

All for LESS! THAN! FIVE! DOLLARS!  How can you resist?

Few of the substances mention pain removal (Tekkil, for example), but there is no pain rules for 5e. Would be nice to have a guideline for that.

Not quite sure why, but all of the text appears to be quite literally GONE from my version... Could that be due to an error in the download process, or the fact that I'm on a Mac? Quite possibly, but it makes it very difficult to read this.

EDIT: I have found that it is definitely a problem on my end... somehow. Not sure what's gone wrong.

Oh, no! I have no explanation for this. Maybe try redownloading the file?

I made it on a Mac, so that shouldn't have caused any trouble. Very frustrating!

I can say that I'm working on a second edition of the handbook that -- hopefully! -- will be out on Monday. Certainly next week. I'll be preparing two versions: one that's in color and heavily illustrated, and another that's black-and-white and designed to be maximally printer-friendly.

That sounds wonderful, and it's... definitely something on my end. I'll try redownloading, see if that works.

Edit: It worked.

The art is beautiful, it's long and comprehensive, over 80 pages! Lots of ideas and things to steal, plus it adds some mechanics, not just flavour! I love it, it's more than worth the price. Buy it!

This is a really clever and comprehensive product.
Regretfully the blurb above doesn't give it full credit for the extent and breadth of this work's content.

Subclass, Feats, the helpful cards for poisons, a depth of knowledge is - ironic perhaps - distilled into this work.

really shows a true effort to understand the topic and convert it into 5e.
Now, - this BUILDS off the current system, so there is some mechanical "crunch" (in game dev terms). But, it's far more approachable than I've seen other efforts made on this topic, and ... I'd argue that's needed, because "poison" being damage only, or granting disadvantage or the like... really needed to be expanded and this does that and creates some wonderful features.


There are some minor formatting issues - but that's about the worst I can criticize the work. So, enjoy it.

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.
