Product Information

A Swarm of Stirges is the first of Behemoth3's Masters and Minions books dedicated to bringing new life to the monsters that made roleplaying great. For over thirty years, the stirge has been a classic wandering monster, lurking within almost every one of the original dungeon adventures that defined the world's most popular roleplaying game.

Now this underappreciated bloodsucker comes into its own as the centerpiece of a complex and deadly ecology. Within these covers, you'll find devilish new threats like the ashmalkin, a miniscule fey who rides stirges into battle and breeds them into hideous new forms. You'll delve into fully-mapped lairs, rife with new treasures and unexpected possibilities. And you'll find a host of new options for players and DMs alike, using the Open Game License (OGL) for full compatibility with the latest 3.5 revision of the rules.

Whether you remember the stirge fondly, or are just discovering its deliciously creepy legend, it's time to believe in monsters again with A Swarm of Stirges.

This 58-page PDF (plus included covers) is fully bookmarked and searchable. In addition, every rule mentioned in the text is a hyperlink to the 3.5 edition of the core rules, seamlessly integrated with the new Masters and Minions open game content as part of the SwoRD Project. Registered owners of this PDF are also entitled to download unique free expansions like printable battlemats for the subterranean stirge lair!
