Warlock Undead!
Thanks to the Warlock Patreon supporters, the new Midgard 5th Edition Warlock booklet is here.
The topic is the Undead, with options including undead magic, a rogue subclass, the Ghoul Imperium Deserter background, some truly skin-crawling planar locales, a legendary villain, and a new PC race. This booklet’s esteemed sections and designers are:
- Dry Lands: Plane of Undeath, by Wolfgang Baur
- Order of the Ebon Star, by Kelly Pawlik
- The Wendestal Devil, by Chris Harris
- The Shade: Voices Beyond Death, by Dan Dillon

A solid affair through and through, even the shady parts.
This zine is 4 articles:
– Plane of Mot is a basically a set of encounter seeds in a plane of undead. It also includes some essential undead healing & resurrection that round out a place where the undead are much closer to “living”..
– The Ebon Star section is a solid mix of material. A monster template, a background, a rogue archetype, a magic item, a splash of history and great piece of art.
– The Wendestal Devil provides a multi-page background on a significant NPC in that region. We get a monster pic, full stat blocks and even a custom regional weapon.
– The last bit builds out the Shade as both a PC race and a monster template. Plus a magic item and a useful NPC. This is a great bridge for “living undead” characters outside of the Darakhul (who are mostly evil).
Besides great editing, this issue features lots of great art and a some fun layout with spiders lurking everywhere. This is a solid issue, I expect parts of it to be re-printed in the upcoming Ghouls book, but it’s still well worth the ticket price.
