A Part Break Supplement v0.75 Amphibians and Bird Wyverns
🕑 Added 2025-02-20 23:36:18 +0000 UTCHello Everyone,
Last into last year I put out a poll asking about how you all felt about creating an additional supplement for the 5e Monster Hunter system. Specifically a part break system. The vote for a part break PDF was in the 90%. So this is the start of that project. In the PDF you will find an early version of an overview of how these part breaks will work and what they may or may not provide.
I originally developed this when I was working on Questiary monsters and one of the biggest things I learned about part breaks during that time was. . If you aren't dealing damage to the monsters actual hit point pool, then the Players are going to ignore the mechanic, because its faster to just murder them, than it is to break the parts. So with my part break system, dealing damage to a part deals damage to the monster.
There is no reason not to target the parts, but with this idea, it will effect the creature's CR. So I will eventually run them all through a CR calculator to determine their exact CR when using this supplement, but for now reducing them by 1 CR should cover it (Though at low CR maybe 4 and lower they could probably be the same).
Since this is a v0.75 I am looking for feedback and there might be typos and I am not yet happy with the formatting, but it is something you can use against your Players if you want to test it out.
In the long run, my goal is to complete a category each month, unless its a super small one like amphibians or snake wyverns, but that will also stand for the couple really huge categories like the Elder Dragons and Flying Wyverns; where I will probably do half of them at a time. I will also look into refining the formatting to make it more sleek and readable.
When you have a chance please let me know what you think and thank you for your support!
