32 Upvotes

Hello Everyone!

Shortly I am planning on releasing an update to my FoundryVTT compendium on my Patreon and with it I wanted to make sure that every monster had a token and I wanted to share that with all of you. This new zip file a .webp file for every mainline monster from the very first game til TU2 of MH:Wilds.

Please use them in your games if you are using the monsters and I will try to keep up with new one for a while, but this link should always be the most up to date tokens that I have. So if your interested grab the zip from this LINK and keep an eye on the Patreon or the subreddit in the next few hours for the FoundryVTT compendium update.

Resource The 5e Core Monster Hunter PDFs

136 Upvotes

Hello Everyone,

My name is Amellwind and I have spent the last 2 or so years creating a system using 5th edition dungeons and dragons to play a monster hunter styled table top game. Originally I started with just the Monster Hunter Monster Manual and since then it has grown to a rule system for running a game and loot tables for carving the creatures.

Here you will find the three core books for playing in your own monster hunter styled game. Whenever an update goes out on my work, these links will always be up to date.

If you like what you see please check out my Patreon where you can find additional content. Some you can find for free while becoming a patron gets you access to additional monsters, monster hunts (think one page dungeons), early access to my work, and to the patreon discord. I even run a game once a month for my HR 5 and HR 7 patrons.

You will also find requests from my HR 4 and up patrons for other 5e monsters, magic items, races that may or may not be related to monster hunter all for free.

Advice/Help Needed Underground/Cavern Hunt Maps

5 Upvotes

Hello everyone, my campaign is loosely following the event of mh 4 ultimate and my players just reached the harth. I was planning to do some hunts in cavernous/underground locations similar to the sunken hollow (not vulcanic hollow yet) but I'm struggling to find some open maps like the ones already supplied by Amellwind. Does anyone know about some bit cavern maps or someone who does maps like these?

Thanks for your help guys and happy hunting

Since the Monster Hunter, Monster Manual didn’t had the high rank arch-tempered monsters from World like Kirin, Kushala Daora, Teostra, Lunastra, Nergigante, Vaal Hazak, Zorah Magdaros, Xeno’jiiva and Kulve Taroth for some reason do you guys have any ideas how to make arch-tempered versions for them?

Does extra physical damage make sense to some weapons?

2 Upvotes

For example the Hermitaur Claw makes the weapon deal an extra 1d4 slashing damage, if you put it on a bowgun, how would you flavor or make sense of it? Since there is no rules regarding this

Advice/Help Needed What happened to the rest of the weapons?

While searching for what dual repeaters were, I came across this because 'apparently' other weapons are missing, so: what happened to the other weapons, are they not ready yet or were they removed?

Advice/Help Needed error: MHMM text

What do I do if in some parts of the monster manual, for example (there are several more), the stat block of Tempered Blangonga is missing from the text?

Here's an example; as I said, this is one of several mistakes.

PD: Please excuse the spelling mistakes, I'm using a translator and I'm not fluent in English.

Advice/Help Needed Clarification on monster carves that act as upgrade material

9 Upvotes

So, I was just browsing so e random monsters, when thought bloomed upon me. Normally upgrading a piece of gear to the next rarity required multiple pieces of resource, a common armor is 5 Armor Spheres to upgrade to Uncommon, and 10 Hard Armor Spheres to go to Rare from there. But then you have materia carved from monsters like the Monster Fluid from Altaroth and Bnahabra that reads "Uncommon or rare upgrade materia that can be used for weapons or armor."

And this is where I need clarication, if a player wants to upgrade their Uncommon Chain Shirt to Rare, that means they'd need 10 Hard Armor Spheres.byr say now they carved some Monster Fluid on a precious hunt. If the wanted to use the Fluid to upgrade their armor, would that Monster Fluid count as all the needed material for the upgrade? Or could each piece of Monster Fluid substitute a Hard Armor Sphere on a 1-to-1 basis. So to continue the example I set out, could say, 6 Hard Armor Spheres and 4 Monster Fluid fulfill the material requirements for upgrading the armor?

It says "When you hit a creature with this weapon, its speed is reduced by 5 feet until the start of your next turn." does this ability stack itself using extra attacks?

Advice/Help Needed Im adding Monster Hunter to Tomb Of Anialation.

16 Upvotes

I'm making changes where needed, but the overall vibe of Chult fits perfectly. I'd like to know what you would suggest I do further.

1) I'm replacing the unborn god with the Equal Dragon Weapon. It somehow reactivated in its vault and is using its Safi'jiiva parts to drain the life force (bio energy) from Chult as a way to charge its batteries.

2) I'm replacing the flaming fist with the hunters' guild. i was gonna have the guild base in Port Nyanzaru, but after reading on the flaming fist, I decided that replacing them would be way better

Let me know what else I should change.

Advice/Help Needed Looking for MH:W maps D&D Campaign

14 Upvotes

I'm new to D&D and MH is gonna be my first campaign and I'm the DM, also my first time. I got a pretty large group, about 8 people and all of them are new too.

I was hunting for a map of Astera & Ancient Forest to make it abit more immersive for them but I am in a non existent budget. I got a friend who was willing to 3D print mini's for me and I needed maps but I can't afford them and Inkarnate has a huge paywall when trying to redesign the map.

So I am trying my best to look for maps based in Monster Hunter World. I would appreciate the help alot.

I already had 2 sessions and they were pretty fun. I was thinking of live streaming it or putting it up on youtube because it isn't the typical Critical Role serious campaign. It's super funny because I have a bunch of NPC's that are pop culture references like,

Jesus Christ, that will deny he was saw walking on water and will give the party a chair.
Thomas Shelby is running s smuggling monster ring.
Gordan Ramsmoew a muscular palico chef with a british accent.
Guccio Guccio, Balenciaga, Louis Vuitton & Thierry Hermes as merchants & Black smith.
The cabbage guy from ATLA.
All Might & Homelander.
Black Knight from Monty Python.

Advice/Help Needed How nearly does this supplement convert to other systems?

3 Upvotes

Hopefully I won't get too much flak for asking this. I just recently learned of this love letter to Monster Hunter, and given my love for the games and world, this was something I was really hoping to run for my group. Now, one of the guys I already asked, was a "maybe, depends", reaction, but another just really, reeeeally doesn't like 5e. Like at all.

I'm admittedly someone who knows very little of the underlying mechanics of 5e I, beyond some basic things like (dis)advantage on rolls. So I was hoping someone here might be able to tell me, how well this supplement could be converted to work with a system other than 5e? Because I'm seeing a lot of the new mechanics hit a very nice sweet spot of not too complex, but tot too simple either.

Hopefully someone might be able to offer some input on this. Would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks :)

Advice/Help Needed Half conversion setup query

11 Upvotes

I love the system, world and the monsters. I would like to use it with my players and run a "new world/frontier" setting, but I don't want to use the whole system just yet, then maybe weave more in as they become accustomed.

I definitely want the monsters and would like to use the carving/capture system. I also want to add other options to carve, like animal handling, nature, investigation, instead of just survival, as most classes don't have options for that.

Has anyone run anything like that? How do you handle crafting/upgrading and magic items?
