Sometimes an adventuring party needs some help getting gear or finding quests in Dungeons & Dragons. These are just a couple of the reasons the party might look for a benefactor. What if the benefactor wasn’t as good as the party originally thought? Or maybe you, the DM, just want to liven things up a bit and have the party have problems with the benefactor?
BeneBads is the unofficial supplement for you. Created by Alan Tucker, this tool currently provides information on two benefactors who for various reasons may find themselves at odds with the adventuring party and need them removed from the equation. Throughout the year, Tucker promises at least 6 additional benefactors to be added for you to have a myriad of options and flavors. This is a great tool with awesome art, maps, magic items, and more.
Benefactors come in all shapes and sizes and everyone can use a helping hand once in a while. Sometimes, however, your benefactor can become your “Big Bad.”
Detailed in this work are entities who can offer benefits to a party of adventurers in the short or long term, but who can also transform into a formidable villain, providing conflict, intrigue, and excitement for any type of campaign.
BeneBads is available at DMs Guild (affiliate link) and is currently priced at $3.95, however, as new benefactors are added, the price will increase. If you do purchase it, you will get any new content for free.
