From the Journal of the Legendary Ranger and his Pet Hamster

A century has passed since the Bhaalspawn fought over the legacy of their father — Bhaal, the Lord of Murder. Two heroes witnessed the epic struggle firsthand — the ranger Minsc and his faithful companion, Boo.

Minsc and Boo were able to track down old friends and hated enemies and find out what they’ve been up to over the past century. They’ve compiled everything into this journal, edited by the traveler extraordinaire, Volo Geddarm.

Included in this journal are four cities, including Athkatla and Baldur’s Gate; ten group patrons led by some of Minsc and Boo’s old friends; a dozen new monsters; six arch villains and eleven dastardly henchmen.

Update 5/13/24

Stat Blocks. Every stat block has been revised to be better balanced against the creature’s CR and to be clearer regarding their special abilities.

Maps. All 4 city maps have had their map numbers and corresponding “notable locations” index changed to make it easier to find locations on the map. Where appropriate, references to map locations in the text are now also included. Not included separately.

Formatting. Proper use of italics for spells & magic items, as well as other quality of life formatting, have been applied.

Typos. Thanks to the community for tracking down typos, we’ve fixed those and others we discovered during our revision process.
