Given the timing of Halloween-it's on a Friday-we've decided to start releasing our Halloween products a few days early. It'll still be another day or so before the second one lands, but this one wouldn't let us stop it from seeing the light of day.
Infected with dark, necrotic magics while dying, the half-dead have returned only part-way to life, their flesh afflicted by an undead curse. Though they can be killed, Death’s grip upon the half-dead is a slippery one at best. Half-dead characters-whether tragic heroes or dark villains-hound their foes relentlessly, driven to action by the horror of their condition. Many half-dead seek to hide their nature from others. When the half-dead are finally revealed for what they are, much of the world responds with horror, revulsion, and worse.
Inside this PDF you'll find a complete player race for Dungeons & Dragons Fourth Edition, along with ten racial feats to bring the horror within to life. You'll also find a monster template, a dead minotaur back for revenge, story ideas, and power cards.
Races of the Shroud: The Half-Dead, written by Fred Hicks and Lee Hammock, is a six-page PDF and is priced at $1.99.
