Out Now on the DMs Guild
Wintry Blast |
I've been busy converting cards from Magic: the Gathering into D&D 5e concepts. Recently, I somewhat randomly selected the Talruum Champion card from Visions, a Magic set which came out way back in 1997. This was the golden age of Magic for me. I was in seventh grade, not a care in the world, playing Magic with my friends and family at every possible moment, and spending all of my lunch money at the local game shop on packs of cards. With that in mind, I jumped at the chance to take this pretty pedestrian Magic card and make it something epic for our D&D games. Below is what I came up with, the Talruum Champion! This guy is an intense, suped-up version of a normal minotaur. He has the Brute ability from the bugbear and wields two scimitars (to match the art) instead of a greataxe. I also home brewed the First Strike ability to match the card's mechanics and flavor text. Included is a little background for he and his clan. I imagine them as desert-dwellers, territorial, and extremely proud. I've been reading Troy Denning's The Verdant Passage recently, which is a D&D novel placed in the Dark Sun setting. These guys would fit perfectly in that world! I must give credit to the wonderful people who created Legendary Bestiary over on the DMs Guild. That is where I got the Legendary Actions that appear in the stat block below. That supplement, in my-opinion, is a must-have for DMs. It helps you take mundane and boring monsters, and create bosses or mini-bosses out of them. Anytime I have a lead ogre or a fabled owlbear, I turn to that supplement to make the creature stand out from its peers. Anytime your Big Bad Evil Guy has a pet dire wolf, or the party must negotiate with the centaur chief....turn to this supplement to make those creatures shine! I can't recommend it enough. (Bonus: they have other supplements in this line to cover higher CRs and extra source books). Without further ado, I give you the Talruum Champion. Feel free to download the pdf below and use it in your games. If you do, I'd love to hear about. Hit me up on Twitter @rjquestgiver. Happy questing!
