Hamund's Harvesting Handbook: Volume 2 (Fantasy Grounds)

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Welcome back dear reader to another installation of Hamund’s Harvesting Handbook. By now I’m sure you’ve all cut your teeth on the monsters and creatures featured in Volume I of this series and have come back hungry for more. Well you are in luck, because I have spent the interim hunting and harvesting all of the monsters featured in that seminal work; Volo’s Guide to Monsters (written by another man who appreciates the value of good branding) and have prepared yet another catalogue of the natural riches to be found in the creatures around us. 

But wait, there’s more! I have brought back secret spells from forgotten lands, filled a list of new items to craft, and even compiled a compendium of the needy people I met on my travels in the hopes that my readers may lend them a helping hand. The book you hold in your hands is more than just an instruction manual, it is a veritable travel guide to adventure! 

So, indulge yourselves dear readers in the knowledge that I have gained and now pass onto you. Discover how to skin a sea spawn, gut a grung, and debone a devourer (which is quite a difficult feat considering they are almost nothing but bones). Learn how to craft powerful weapons from the spoils of your hunts, as well as wield new magic to aid you in your work. The sky is the limit in our profession, and even the old dogs among you could still stand to learn a few new tricks. 

Good luck and good harvesting,

- Sir Hamund Holderhek, O.B.H. (First Class), V.A., N.K.P.

For the Bloodhunter's lens, how would you describe what the player sees? Would it be like detect life from Oblivion or small dots? Trying to gain some knowledge on if someone would see the outline of a shape and size of the creature. Like if there is a giant would I know it's a giant?

Yea it's more like an outline. I had always imagined it like detective vision from the Arkham games haha

Awesome Product (both so far and looking to snag the 3rd soon)

I did have one question about the spell "Hamund’s Harvesting Hands", how is a PC supposed to know what CR a things is...ever?? Let alone cast at higher level to encompass a higher level critter corpse.

I initially thought maybe your intent was to have them use the asses part of the skills relating to harvesting, but this spell eliminates the need for that skill roll, if I am correct.

Hi Bob,

Yea that one's a bit of an assumption on my part that the DM would be alright with divulging that info upon the creature's death. Players can usually check CR of creatures if they want (like how Druids can check for beast CR levels).

It would be nice if there was a discount in place for someone who had already purchased the PDF wanted now to add the fantasy grounds version. It would be easy to prove because my account shows I did buy 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.
