Build Your Bastion
Bastions are a creative playground for players and a shared storytelling space in your campaign. They belong to a player and represent a home, a stronghold, or a place of power that the character develops over the course of a campaign.
- Design and grow your Bastion as you level up with a choice of 6 Basic Facilities like the Bedroom, Courtyard, and Parlor and 29 Special Facilities like the Teleportation Circle, Barrack, Guildhall, and Pub.
- Explore more of your world with Bastion Orders that allow you to task facilities like the Library or Archive to research topics, threats, and organizations while your players handle bigger problems.
- Craft your own gear while you're away with the Workshop or Arcane Study and pick it up when you return.
- Prepare for big encounters by creating magical charms in the Reliquary, Sanctum, Observatory, and more that grant you helpful effects like contacting other planes and powerful healing magic.
- Protect your people from attacks by recruiting Lieutenants, Defenders, and monstrous creatures in your Barracks and Menagerie to defend your Bastion automatically.
A Hoard of Magic Items
Rain loot down on your players with over 400 magic items built for Foundry VTT using the new Activity and Enchantment systems.
- Make any item magical with a drag and drop using the enchantment system whether you're making a simple +1 weapon or a complex item like the Nine Lives Stealer. The enchantment system can automatically modify the item for you and can even add new Activities and Active Effects to the items your players already have.
- Rig traps with the new trap Items with built-in activities to scale their saves and damage for the level of your party.
- Bless your players with new Supernatural Blessings that can increase their ability scores, grant them new resistances, and boost their armor classes and saving throws.
- Charm anyone with temporary magical charms that grant fantastic boons like the ability to summon creatures, darkvision, and more.
