Midgard Heroes Handbook for 5th Edition

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The Flame of Heroes Brings Light to a Dark World!

Welcome to a world of dark roads and deep magic, where you can match wits with Baba Yaga, set sail for uncharted islands with minotaur corsairs, and face the fury of the giants in the icy north!

The Midgard Heroes Handbook for 5th Edition has everything you need to create a character for a 5th edition Midgard campaign, including full details on 11 new races and 4 variants on standard races. Roll up a trollkin barbarian, a ravenfolk fighter, a kobold rogue, and more.

You also get:

  • more than 48 new class options, including new bard colleges and paladin oaths
  • martial, ranger, and rogue archetypes—and new weapons and gear
  • a new druid circle and a dozen new cleric domains including Beer, Justice, and Moon domains
  • sorcerous bloodlines, new warlock pacts, and strange arcane traditions
  • 20 backgrounds from the Southlands to the distant North,
  • And nearly 300 new spells from the fan-favorite Deep Magic series, including shadow magic, clockwork magic, battle magic, rune magic and more!

The shadow roads are open, and the World Serpent stirs in its sleep. Adventure awaits the bold!

So is the stuff in "Midgard Heroes for 5th Edition" "Southlands Heroes for 5th Edition" and "Unlikely Heroes for 5th Edition" all compiled in this book?

Will hardcover be available to DrivethruRpg again? I know that it's available on kobold press store but shipping costs to Europe are extremely high, higher that the actual price of the book. I can't find this on some European eshop either.

Take a look at Paizo's store. They have friendlier shipping costs.

Thanks, Wolfgang! I've placed the order.

BTW, I had already looked on the Kobold Press site before I posted earlier, and didn't find it in a place it probably should have been. I just reproduced the issue, so let me tell you what I did.

At the KP main page, I hovered over the Store drop down menu. Under Categories, I selected Midgard.

Then on the left side of the page, I selected Print and 5E. I would have thought that all your 5E books that are available for print would show up that way, but this book does not show up. Maybe I'm wrong about that, but if it's a problem with your site, I thought I'd let you know so you can fix it and hopefully not lose sales.

BTW (again), I just recently started looking closely at Midgard. Damn you, Wolfgang, I just spent a ton of money to prepare for a Lost Lands campaign, and now you completely changed what setting I want to play in :P

Great job! Really intriguing setting!

In terms of PC race options, in terms of available races, is there any difference between this book and the original Midgard/Northlands/Southlands Campaign Setting trinity for Pathfinder? I mean, yes, the base mechanics are different, but are there races in those older sourcebooks which aren't covered here?

Bearfolk are new here, and the trollkin coverage is better, IIRC.

I have purchased the hardcover MHM and am trying to set up a Bard of Entropy. In looking thru the bard spell list, I notice that there is no "4th Level" header. Does this mean that there are NO 4th-level spells or is this an error (with a corresponding errata sheet)? Since I'm looking for CHAOS spells in particular, could you verify that there are no 5th-level and 9th-level Chaos spells? Also, in the section "Ley Lines and Geomancy" there doesn't appear to be a table that the DM can use to determine if one (or more) Ley Lines are present for use by the Geomancer. I'm new to MHH and wonder is there is a book specifically available for the Game Master. Thanks in advance for your answers.

Hi, EDJET FIGHTER ARCHETYPE: I greatly appreciate this, also because it helps to mitigate the all-too-important Dex Stat in 5th edition, I think, using RAW. One question: when an Edjet Fighter wields a versatile weapon with two hands, does she deals 1d10 (the normal damage die, usually), or does she deals 1d12 (a damage die one grade better)? Many thanks!

Hi Valerio! I'm very glad to hear the Edjet is working out well for you.

The design intent of the Edjet's versatile weapon feature is to allow it to get the versatile damage while using a versatile weapon in one hand. I didn't intend for it to increase two-handed damage further, but I could see a DM ruling that it does without breaking anything.

Hope that helps!

The Justice Domain for clerics has some errors in the spell list
Blade of Wrath is listed in the back of the book as a 3rd level evocation (angelic), but it's placed in the 3rd-level cleric domain spell line (which should only be for 2nd level spells).

The 9th-level cleric domain spell line lists the spell Mage Hand (a cantrip) I'm guessing it should be Arcane Hand/Bigby's Hand?

The 17th level ability Holy Denunciation says "Using your channel divinity" which no-other 17th level cleric abilities requires. At 17th-level advantage on Charisma and Wisdom checks for upholding the law isn't extremely powerful, so can't this be a permanent ability? Or maybe a 1+Wis mod per day instead of using Channel Divinity?


Also in the Dragon Domain. The Channel Divinity: Charmer of Reptiles is kind of vague. It says at the beginning non-intelligent reptiles (but doesn't specify if that is an INT of 3 or lower or anything), but the next line says each reptilian creature,...See more

I was going over the weapon section and I can't seem to find any maneuvers for the greataxe just the nordmansch version, and the composite bow has no listing for what its special property actually does. Is there an errata I'm missing?

Asking this again as a standalone question rather than a reply:

I see a bunch of the Deep Magic series got rolled into this book, but not all of it. Are there specific parts of that series that WEREN'T added to this (beyond Void Magic, which I already have)? I'd love to finish out the supplemental magic rules you all have provided, but I'd also like to avoid redundancy where possible.

The elements of Deep Magic that were reserved to the DM (and thus are included in the Midgard Worldbook instead of the Heroes Handbook) are 1) Blood & Doom and 2) Void Magic.

I don't know if this has been brought to anyone's attention yet, but the listed God's domains don't match up with what appears in the Midgard world book.

That is correct! They do not match, though they are certainly aligned. The Worldbook offers the broader range.

Were the Dragonkin and Darakhul left out on purpose?

Yes. The Dragonkin have too much overlap with Dragonborn, and the Darakhul are planned for a future release (but available in the softcover Heroes booklet).

Is this a compilation of material from other sources?
Reply
Customer avatar
Wolfgang B March 15, 2018 3:25 pm UTC
PUBLISHER
Partly. The Heroes Handbook has entire chapters of new material, such as the martial and roguish subclasses, the 20 divine domains, the pantheist priest, and the equipment and several of the races (bearfolk spring to mind). It also includes new spells from Labyrinth Magic and other new schools (Rothenian, etc).

At the same time, compiles most of the Deep Magic series of spells and subclasses into print, and of course it includes the races from the Midgard Heroes for 5th Edition. All of that material is updated or expanded.

The Table of Contents is posted on ENWorld and on the Kobold Press page for this book.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
