Encounters - From the Pages of The Codex Necronus
Added 2022-06-20 21:24:56 +0000 UTCFive unique monsters to add to a horror-themed game!
I love spooky encounters. I've also noticed that creepy, eldritch beings tend to be designed as relatively high-CR monsters. But I find that a horror plotline can be very effective for low-level players, before they've started to feel invincible (as players usually do later in the game).
With that in mind, here are five low-CR monsters that I hope your players will find suitably disturbing. They're not "encounters", strictly speaking, but they come with lore and loot suggestions, so you should have no trouble building an encounter around each one.
Enjoy!

I have a player who is a Tiefling wild magic sorcerer. His backstory is that he read a torn out page with demonic writing on it and that’s how he received his powers. Planning to have more pages sprinkled around the world and will for sure be using some of these pages for them.
