D&D 5E: Injuries and Vile Deeds (Pre Order) (August)

Gone are the days of nondescript attack and damage rolls. Injuries & Vile Deeds restores excitement to combat, providing rules for cinematic, tactical encounters. PC Injuries create narrative tension, keeping the party on its toes as they weigh the risks of pressing on or allowing their enemies to get a step ahead. Meanwhile, players can now add mechanical effects to descriptive combat, inflicting Injuries on their enemies and causing negative status effects with every action.

If you're a fan of the combat aesthetics in shows like Castlevania or The Witcher, or love the kill animations in games like God of War, Sekiro, and Shadow of Mordor, then Injuries & Vile Deeds will be the perfect addition to your game.
