The Arenmist Forest: A Riftbreakers Region Book (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798196952012)

Deep in the heart of Kaethor lies a forest that has managed to keep its secrets hidden for centuries-until now. The Arenmist Forest is a comprehensive expansion for the Riftbreakers 2e tabletop RPG, offering players and Game Masters a deep dive into this vast mix of unexplored wilderness and hidden settlements.

The Arenmist is not a place for the faint of heart. It is an ancient, unremitting landscape that has swallowed civilizations whole, leaving behind only moss-covered ruins and curious idols to forgotten gods. From the suffocating cotton-white fogs of the Mist Heart to the gravity-defying Blinding Chasms, every region of the forest offers unique environmental hazards and supernatural phenomena.

What's Inside the expansion:

• Diverse Points of Interest: Explore seven distinct regions, including the fortified Acorn Point Trading Camp, the separatist city of New Kar Helos, and the ancient, aetherically active Templemount.

• New Gameplay Mechanics:

  • Nature Heart: A new Heart that allows characters to command the primal energy of the wilderness, using abilities that grant a wide array of possibilities, from damage dealing, to healing, and crowd control.

  • Storylocked Chests: Discover mysterious treasures that can only be opened by fulfilling strange requirements, such as sacrificing a companion or telling the chest a compelling story.

  • Regional Rules: Navigate unique mechanics like the Aetheric Upwelling of the highlands or the Slippery Slime of the Leechfalls.

• Expanded Bestiary: Face off against terrifying new foes, from house-sized Violinist's Spiders that kill with sound to Fungal Crawlers and the predatory Mantrap Orchid.

• Unique Gear & Alchemy: Equip yourself with Camouflage Packs, use Medical Leeches to stave off poison, or deploy Defoliants against the encroaching flora.

• Premier Quest: Introducing the game's first Premier Quest, an Initiate-rank quest that sends the party deep into the woods to investigate the connection between ley lines and Rift activity.

Will you tame the forest, or will you become just another flower-wracked silhouette matted over by the vines?
