Anne Gregersen Adds Death Throes and Bloodied Actions to KEYS FROM THE GOLDEN VAULT with Latest BLOODIED & BRUISED Supplement
Dungeons & Dragons recently launched the Keys From the Golden Vault book. It’s an anthology of heist-themed adventures and many creators are making great content to accompany it. As always, one of my favorite series to watch out for is Bloodied & Bruised by Anne Gregersen and she’s recently released one for Keys From the Golden Vault. The supplement provides new combat actions inspired by 4E’s “bloodied” condition which adds some extra spice to your fights. There’s also “death throes” added to make the end of a creature more memorable and exciting. An example of a bloodied action in Bloodied & Bruised - Keys From the Golden Vault is that Charmayne Daymore will cast fireball when she is first bloodied. This is so awesome!
The bugbear chief nurses a gushing wound in her side before issuing an order of retreat to her allies. A bright light forms around the angel’s dying body, blinding everyone near it as it passes on from the world of the living. With blood streaming down its torso, an enraged hill giant slams its fists into the ground and causes the earth around it to quake.
Bloodied & Bruised is a series providing new combat actions for the creatures in the 5e roster. When pushed to their limits in combat, these monsters, critters, fiends, and foes gain new abilities that aid them in battle, or perhaps spell their doom depending on the circumstances. Bloodied & Bruised takes inspiration from the "bloodied" condition from 4e, making entirely new combat actions that can completely change the nature of a fight.
In addition, Bloodied & Bruised also introduces several "death throes" to the game, marking the demise of certain creatures with a grand explosion, heavy fall, or other unique effect to make the slaying of a great monster a truly unique experience.
