Welcome to Crest City — New Setting and Subclass!
Psst! Files are at the bottom: scroll down!
Crest City is a powerful stronghold and bastion of law steeped in draconic history and culture. At its center is a beloved royal family, whose leadership has inspired and prospered over centuries and generations.
But what lies deeper behind the organization and history of this established city-state? Why is there so little crime here? Perhaps there are more forces at work than meet the eye—ones that stretch across nations, cultures, and centuries.
Come and make a name for yourself here, adventurer! Heroism was born here in the city born of dragons!
What's included:
Extensive new lore and setting details
Encounter tables
Unique environmental effects
A new, deeply-entrenched political druid circle that can fit in any royal setting
Suggested quests
4 new monsters, including a unique ancient dragon!
Maps by Cze and Peku
New Druid subclass: the Circle of Dragons!

@Griffon. Currently planning on using this subclass. Just to make sure of it I have a question. On each use of the "Dragon Shape" does one add the total HP as temporary hit points, additionally to the remaining HP, correct? Hope you get to read this. Best wishes!
I know this one is super old, but I just wanted to say that I changed how the breath weapon function on the class, letting the player expend a spellslot to use it. This allowed them to get more use of their form and spellslots without breaking the class.
This release is incredibly well done. Congrats! Are there any plans to create a map of Crest City?
Maybe in the future! I didn't have time with this release, but it's possible that I have one made in the future for it, like with Hearth!
