Heliana’s Guide to Monster Hunting

Full of useful knowledge and heavy enough to crush a skull, Heliana’s Guide to Monster Hunting is nothing if not handy. The personalised quotes from Heliana, Peeper’s deft proofing and editing, and the numerous ink stains and spilled watercolours give this hefty tome a homemade feel.



Fantastic Phalanges and Where to Find Them. As an action, you can open this book and stare intently at its pages, which turn of their own accord to settle on an anatomical diagram of the corpse nearest to the book. You immediately learn all the harvestable parts of the corpse, as well as their Component DCs.

Know Thy Enemy. As an action, you can place an object that belonged to a creature—such as its scat, scales, or clothing—between the pages of this book. One minute later, the book tells you one piece of information about the creature. At the GM’s discretion, this may be: its saving throw proficiencies, damage resistances, immunities, and vulnerabilities; condition immunities; creature’s type; one of its traits; or one of the clues acquired during a hunt. Placing more objects that belonged to that creature (or a creature with the same statblock) yields no further results.

Weapon of the Learned. This book can be used as a simple melee weapon that deals 1d6 bludgeoning damage on a hit. If you are proficient in Arcana, History, Nature, or Religion, you are proficient with this weapon.


Very rare variant: The deluxe, leatherbound version of this book imparts some of Heliana’s own wisdom to those that read it regularly; it has the Anatomiser property and Know Thy Enemy reveals two pieces of information.

Anatomiser. If you read this book for 1 hour, you gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice for the next 24 hours: Arcana, Investigation, Nature, Medicine, Religion, or Survival. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again for 24 hours.
