Web Enhancement – The Life of a Centaur in D&D

Web Enhancement - Centaurs

A web enhancement for d12 Monthly, Issue 22 (Forests & Jungles).

Sometimes articles get cut from the final issue for a number of reasons, so I have decided to include them as bonus web content. Enjoy!

Centaurs in Dungeons & Dragons are misplaced in the world.

Somewhere along the lines they ended up as forest-dwelling fey.

This has always seemed a little odd to me as, given they are half horse, they would want – and need – a place to gallop and roam.

In Aythia, my D&D campaign world, they live on the plains and hills, being close to forests, but mainly for hunting purposes.

Cultural Weapon – Centaur Great Bow

Cultural Weapons - Centaur Great Bow

Centaurs roam open plains and make their home near forests and woodland so they can take advantage of the hunting available there.

The primary weapon used by centaurs while hunting, and while protecting themselves, is their great bow.

This bow is similar to the longbow (or war bow), but is larger and more powerful.

Web Enhancement – New Monster – Ahool

Web Enhancement - Ahools

A web enhancement for d12 Monthly, Issue 21 (Hills & Mountains). Sometimes articles get cut from the final issue for a number of reasons, so I have decided to include them as bonus web content. Enjoy!

This one is mentioned in the random tables on page 13, but the creature was cut due to space. I have included it here as I was asked about it.

Ahools

Ahools are a bat-primate mix, having large crimson, bat-like wings. With a wingspan of approximately 22-ft, it appears much bigger than it is.

I want to continue this online as I present a regular section on the site called Team Ups! This article features my first team up: owlbear and yellow musk creeper.

Web Enhancement – Ogres

Web Enhancement - Ogres

Ogres have been mistaken for giants for a millennia or more. Just because they are giant in size, does not make them giants in nature.
