The Grimdark Pamphlet (5e)

The Grimdark Pamphlet suggests rules additions and changes for the fifth edition ruleset to allow you to play grimmer adventures with morally ambiguous characters in a fantasy world beset on all sides by dire powers. In this world, life is brutal and short, victory is never assured, and madness and corruption threaten even the most resolute and steadfast.

Be forewarned. Characters will face greater challenges and are more likely to die. Immortality in this world is a distracting fallacy held tight by those too cowardly to truly live.

Inside You'll Find:

1. New Abilities and an Ability-focused Alignment system
2. New Skills for gritty games
3. Madness and Injuries, and how to cure them
4. Rules for Active AC
5. Suggestions for making magic rarer in your games
6. New Melee Weapons and Firearms
7. Grimmer Feats
8. And a growing sense of impending doom!
