Bestiary » Lions of Heruclian Power » 9/16/2024 1:30 pm

Rumors posit wandering the Hyperborean Wildernesses, ranging from woods to Boreal forests, to the plains, and prairies wander cwicked lions of extraordinary power and size with a hunger for the flesh of men. Some Greecian sages believe these to be related to the Lion of Nemea that Herucles himself bested, be they siblings having lived for so long or decendants it is unknown. They are rumored to be reaching lengths of eleven feet and heights of 6 feet at the shoulder and estimates of weight would guess 1000 pounds.

Adventures » Lake Nova » 6/23/2022 2:40 pm

I was looking through the Atlas and came across Lake Nova and went to the Referee's Guide to look into it and read about a ship that crashed onto one of the islands. Is there an adventire released for it, will be released for it, or is it just a place to put the ship from Expedition to the Barrier Peaks?

Nice one Leto

​Welcome to Hyperborea...

Thank you. I guess I should have expected someone else to make a giant version of these brilliant creatures. I thought I would try homebrew, but for my first time figured borrowing special abilities from other creatures to build them.

I think I prefer Jim's method of straight up showing the chances to surprise instead of the bonus to that chance I have listed.
