The Binder Class THE BINDER CLASS The classic magic class that binds itself to vestiges—beings trapped beyond life, death, and undeath, summoned by drawing their mystic seals—is now updated and expanded for fifth edition. Includes four distinct subclasses along with details of 45 vestiges, more than a dozen of which appear for the first time in vestige form herein! Nearly 100 pages of richly detailed lore and magically granted abilities drawing on source material from every D&D edition and incorporating elements and history from the Forgotten Realms, Eberron, Ravnica, Theros, the Inner and Outer Planes, and the Far Realm! Individual vestiges magically grant a wide array of powers: martial, skill-based, spell-like, sensory, resistance, immunity, and more! The class lets you swap out one set of powers for another each day when your pact with a vestige expires and you summon and bind a new one, allowing for incredible versatility and modular game mechanics. by Christopher M.

By drawing the seal and speaking the proper words, a binder summons these entities, strikes bar- gains with them, and binds them to service. Vestigial Powers Binders are practitioners of a specialized form of Pact Magic—distinct from but related to the type of magic used by warlocks. A binder gains supernatural powers by bargaining with the souls of remote entities called vestiges— remnants of once-living beings that have become trapped beyond the normal boundaries of life and death. Vestiges dwell in regions that are wholly unreachable, the very manner of their existence incomprehensible to mortals and gods alike. Distant as they are from reality, most vestiges are driven toward

  • Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2
    Bestiary of the Realms: Volume 2 by Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd Art by Noëlle Triaureau Editorial assistance from Joe “Warlockco” Weber A NOTE FROM THE AUTHORS Welcome to volume two of the Bestiary of the Realms. As this is our second volume, you’ll find several score new or converted monsters, as well as a few different interpretations of monsters that have already been converted. A word of caution, just as many official 3E and 3.5E monsters did not slavishly follow earlier write-ups of those monsters, neither do the monsters herein. Instead, we did our best to consider all sources, hopefully make full and creative use of the 3.5E rules (including non-core WotC books), and in many cases add a little bit here and there to many of the monsters, even if it was in only adding or updating their Realms lore. A few have even been renamed. One last note, we’ve done our best to include source references for all things where appropriate, except those found in the three core rulebooks or Expanded Psionics Handbook. Until then, Sword High! – Thomas M. Costa and Eric L. Boyd ABOUT THE AUTHORS Thomas M. Costa is a senior analyst with the Government Accountability Office. He has been a contributor to several Wizards of the Coast products including Demihuman Deities and Races of Faerûn, and is the author of several Dragon Magazine and Wizards of the Coast website articles.

He carefully opened the old diary to the section marked "Conjuration," and began to read by the red light of the filtered lamp on the altar.

Scattered about this glowing bowl were pieces of iron, garnet, and red jasper; to the right of the censer stood a metal figurine of a scorpion that cast moving shadows on the floor as the glow of the coals illuminated it. Slowly, the magician's gaze fixed upon the small object at the base of the triangle. The red light in the room, combined with the faint glow of the censer, clearly showed the symbol drawn on the round piece of paper.
