r/GrimHollow

I am currently photoshopping the map of Ostoya to carve it up by provinces, complete with borders and colour overlays for each province in the colours of the provincial ruler for my players' benefit...

And I'm just staring at that big block of text on the map that says "The Ostoyan Empire".

It has no emperor, and never did. And the Ostoyans are quite proud of that, in fact.

It has a Grand Duke, and so it's a Grand Duchy.

That's it, that's the post, my fey compulsion is fulfilled. Happy monster hunting, y'all.

Anyone know where I could find a Grimhollow game? I really like Etharis, the setting, the lore, etc. However, I struggle to find an open game. A lot of old posts on games that once were though. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

'Ello builders! I'm playing a Daemonologist Wizard starting at level 2 in a Ghost of Saltmarsh campaign (no spoilers please). For anyone unfamiliar, the subclass allows you to gain one warlock's Eldritch Invocations at 3rd, 6th, and 14th level, with any warlock levels requirements now becomes a wizard levels, and any references to charisma mod is now intelligence mod. So, my question to you all is that since I'd realistically have 1 or 2 EI throughout my career, what are some really standout picks that would make it worth a slot. I have access to both 2024 and 2014 invocations that aren't reprinted.

My current party is a Bard, a Paladin/Barbarian/Druid multiclass, a Fighter, a Ranger, a Rogue, and a Monk.

Danke.

Is there a discord community? Just found out about the transformations and am pretty stoked about the setting.

I noticed that in the DnD 5.5e All-in-One BEYOND pack, you can play as the Monster Hunter class. My question is: is there any way to download only specific elements from the pack instead of downloading the full collection? Alternatively, does anyone know if someone has created this class as a separate mod?

I’m a sucker for the Grim Hollow setting and would really like to try this class, especially the Trapper subclass. In general, the variety of options in Grim Hollow are great matrial for mods, such as Advanced Backgrounds, Fiend Transformation, and more.

Question for community.

Are some Grim Hollow features locked behind certain walls?

I ask because I have the Transformed PG and DMG, which grants me the options for those character classes and backgrounds, however not traits and languages.

A big thing about Transformed is that you technically customize your own heritage. It seems that the species for characters lock in a the stereotypical presets within the book.

Furthermore, I am not seeing Grim Hollow languages appear during character creation either.

Has anyone else noticed this?

I am newer to D&D Beyond so I’d understand if there’s a solution I just don’t know it yet, or am I missing something?

I'm currently playing a mutation druid (the original 2014 version) and been looking forward to the lvl 10 ability endless evolution. The ability will be detailed below:

At 10th level, when you enter your Wild Shape you gain a number of mutation points equal to your Wisdom modifier (minimum 1). Unspent mutation points are lost when you leave your beast shape.

​

In addition, you can use an action to touch a beast and expend a spell slot, causing it to mutate to your liking. You gain a number of mutation points equal to the level of the spell slot or the CR of the beast, whichever is lower. As part of the same action, you must spend all mutation points on mutations which manifest in the beast. Unspent mutation points are lost. Mutations remain indefinitely until the same beast is targeted by a different use of this feature or the dispel magic spell, remove curse spell, or similar magic.

​

My question is fit the second part of the ability. My druid has been raising spiders to guard the party's house and I was curious to know if y'all think endless evolution would work RAW on swarms? I understand DMs could say yes or no regardless, but I'd like to know if what I'm asking is redundant or unreasonable.

​

TDLR: could mutation druids give mutations to swarm statblocks at lvl 10 RAW?
