Planebreaker for 5E Enters Final Hours on Kickstarter

Planebreaker (Monte Cook Games)Monte Cook Games is nearing the end to a successful Kickstarter for a new 5E sourcebook. Planebreaker brings planar adventuring to all levels of player characters. The project is past the 700% funding mark and you can reserve a copy of the sourcebook for a $55.00 pledge or score the PDDF for a $25.00 pledge through November 19. Expected delivery is August of next year.

About the book:

Think the planes are just for high-level characters? The Planebreaker opens the way to characters of all levels. You can even begin your campaign on the Planebreaker, with character species and subclasses from the Planebreaker itself and the many realities it has visited. Inkarnates, for example, are tied to another dimension of being. Unlike genasi and assimar, that connection isn’t to a specific extraplanar race, but rather to a particular concept, such as uncertainty, belief, or being. Inkarnate are winged, their wings literally formed by glyphs representing this concept—glyphs that power their special abilities.

Another example is the traveler, a character born of another species but somehow planetouched at birth. Travelers are marked by a fragment of a cosmic map, etched tattoo-like on their skin. This is a source of power, but also of an unending yearning to explore.

Characters of any species can adopt planar subclasses such as the defacer wizard (who calls upon nightmares to gain terrible powers and an aberrant familiar); the shadow-stitched rogue (who has traded their own shadow for that of an extraplanar creature); the chaos blade fighter (who wields a weapon drawn from elemental chaos); or the cosmic judge warlock (whose pact is made with the spirit of the multiverse itself!).

Path of the Planebreaker opens the full range of planar exploration to low-, mid-, and high-level characters. 

Path of the Planebreaker is a sourcebook for 5th edition players and GMs that presents you with the wonders, terrors, mysteries, and treasures of dozens and dozens of new alternate worlds—plus the inexplicable Planebreaker itself. It includes a bestiary of planar creatures and new planar class options for players to add to their campaigns, as well as new subclasses, feats, spells, and player character species options.
