Candlekeep & Strixhaven Bestiary: Monsters, NPCs, Magic Items, and more.

ADD TO WISHLIST >
Candlekeep & Strixhaven Bestiary

Candlekeep & Strixhaven Bestiary aims to be a complementary work to the Candlekeep Mysteries and Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos. Monsters, NPCs, and magical items found in this book can be encountered in libraries, magical academies, wizard's towers, temples and arcane ruins. 

In total, there are 29 stat blocks in this book for the Dungeon Masters to spice up and enrich their games when the players enter a library or a similar place of learning and knowledge. Book also contains the Translator character background and wondrous magic items.

This book is dedicated to Ed Greenwood, the creator of the Forgotten Realms. 

Strixhaven Update

Welcome to the School of Mages! I wrote this book when the Candlekeep Mysteries was released, thinking that the monsters and NPCs here are the perfect fit for the library setting of that book. But when the Strixhaven was first announced, then I realized this book was actually the perfect companion for the new Strixhaven setting. All the statblocks that can be found in this book are specifically tailored and designed to fit in an arcane academy/library/wizard’s tower kind of setting, both as living places, and also as ruins and dangerous dungeons. So now, just before the release of Strixhaven: A Curriculum of Chaos, I have decided to update this book! I have added 8 more brand new statblocks that are inspired by the Strixhaven setting. When preparing the new statblocks, I have experimented with some new stuff such as combining arcane and divine magic for certain characters. I hope you will enjoy it and use it in your games!

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.
