Monster Hunter Universe

Welcome to the Monster Hunter Universe

In Monster Hunter, the player takes the role of a Hunter. Slaying or trapping large monsters across various landscapes as part of quests given to them by the locals. As part of its core gameplay, players use loot gained from slaying monsters, gathering resources, and quest rewards to craft improved weapons, armor, and other items that allows them to face more powerful monsters. This gameplay holds the same in this version of fifth edition of d&d. Throughout this page you will find the lore, gods, rules, equipment, and information about the Old World to help you adventure in the Old World. The source for most of this information comes from Amellwind's wonderful conversion guide. I have applied some of my own tweaks here and there.

What is different

The biggest difference between your standard D&D game and a Monster Hunter styled D&D game is the equipment and magical items. In a standard D&D game, players are rewarded as they travel through their game by finding magical equipment or purchasing it from a magic shop.

Monster Hunter is a high magic setting game, but magical armor, weapons, and other items that do not have a limited amount of uses do not exist in the world though. Instead you gain materials from hunting creatures, gathering resources, or finding a merchant who offers materials for a cost. These materials provide magical effects that you slot into your weapons, armor, and trinkets to gain some type of magical benefit.

How do I obtain Materials?

Obtaining materials to upgrade your weapon and armor is a core part of Monster Hunter. The 2 most common ways to obtain material for you is carving materials off your kills or capturing larger creatures in the field. Occasionally a hunter may get lucky and come across a discard material in the field, possibly from a creature shedding, or what was left over from another creature's kill. There is rumored to be a tradesman that travels from location to location that offers materials for a price.
