Though they don’t have hard-set mechanics (as in, x damage type must have y effect), in Dungeons & Delvers the general theme for cold attacks is that they can hinder movement via the Slowed, Immobilized, and Restrained conditions, while lightning can impose the Dazed or Stunned conditions, as well as being more effective against creatures […]
The Warden is now on sale! It has been added to our All of the Playbooks, Adventuring Party, and Wilderness Survival bundles over on DriveThruRPG. Wardens are exceptionally tough defenders of the wild. Not only does each warden type gain a bonus effect or ability while using the defend move, they have a pool of Might points […]
