Character Secrets

Buried under thick furs and heavy cloaks, it's hard to tell friend from foe in the frozen streets of Ten-Towns. The denizens of Icewind Dale are full of secrets and surprises—some pleasant, some not so much.

During character creation, each player may randomly draw a secret for their character—a skeleton in their closet that may be revealed as the story unfolds.

Seventeen character secrets are included in the book, plus suggestions for things that may happen as a result of each.

More Monsters Than Ever

The fauna of the frozen north has thus far remained unrecorded. Desolate and barren as it may seem, Icewind Dale is actually home to a huge variety of creatures.

Filling this gap in the record, Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden adds more monsters than any fifth edition adventure before it—with over fifty stat blocks.

From fun riffs on monsters already in the Monster Manual to strange, unknown horrors—unexpected things lurk around every corner.

Encountering Winter's Wrath

Navigating in a blinding blizzard, a fall into frigid water, an avalanche that threatens to bury you alive—the frozen wilderness is full of unique challenges and deadly hazards.

This book provides tools for DMs running adventures in landscapes of snow, ice, and bitter cold. Rules are included for a variety of survival challenges, from hearing through howling winds to reeling in a great catch while ice fishing.
