Everything You Need to Know About Arcana Unleashed and Arcana Unleashed: Deadfall

Eight Subclasses Steeped in the Arcane

Arcana Unleashed adds 8 subclasses for spellcasters and martials alike. Draw power from a dying god as a Vestige Patron Warlock, lace every blow with magic as a Warrior of the Mystic Arts Monk, or weave spells into your shots as an Arcane Archer Fighter.

Rounding out the roster are the Arcana Domain Cleric and four Wizard subclases that specialize in particular Schools of Magic—Conjurer, Enchanter, Necromancer, and Transmuter.

Nine Factions and a Society Run on Magic

Arcana Unleashed introduces 9 arcane factions, each with its own leadership, renown rewards, bastion facilities, member benefits, and rivalries. Chart the multiverse with the Conjuration-focused Horizon Weavers, trade in secrets with the Enchantment-focused Bejeweled Conclave, dissect death alongside the Necromancy-focused Covenant of the Grave, or steal dangerous knowledge with the shadowy Ninth Quill.

The book also adds 10 backgrounds, most of which are tied to a faction, so you can shape your character's story by embroiling them in the rivalries and alliances of arcane politics.

Evolving Magic Items and 45+ Arcane Treasures

With over 45 magic items included in the vaults of this tome, your campaign will be brimming with rare and legendary arcane treasure, including new evolving magic items.

These powerful relics grow in step with their wielder, unlocking new powers as their bond deepens.

A Bestiary of Living Magic

Featuring 19 magical creatures, from mysterious allies to lethal foes, your campaign will never be lacking for magical friends and foes.

Face Archmages specializing in every school of magic, spell-warped Darkenbeasts, Living Spells, and the immortal CR17 mage Venger.

Expand Your Spellbook With 33 Spells and 20+ Feats

Every arcane hero needs new tricks. Arcana Unleashed teaches you how to tap into the Weave with 33 new and revised spells—more than half of which are level 5 or above.

Will you silence your foes with the dreadful Wail of the Banshee, harden your body into living metal with Iron Body, or capture souls within a Spirit Lantern?

You can also customize your character with more than 20 feats spanning the Origin, Fighting Style, General, and Epic Boon categories. Together, they let you harness magic for a spellslinging warrior, deepen your connection to your magical familiar, or chase pure arcane firepower.

Begin With Tomb of the Shadow Serpents

When the immortal mage Venger tempts your party with forbidden power buried in a dangerous crypt, few adventurers can resist the pull—and fewer still walk out alive.

To put all your magical miscellany into play right away, Arcana Unleashed contains Tomb of the Shadow Serpents, a level 1 adventure built as a one- to two-session jumping-off point.
