New Champion: Corrupted Champion
Corruption and taint can take many forms, especially when countless entities across the planes eagerly wait to bestow their dubious gifts. Whether through willing acceptance or infection, corruption can find a foothold in the souls or bodies of creatures and begin to bloom. It promises boundless strength and power, but ultimately always at the cost of one's own self.
Here’s a super versatile creature that fits into almost any setting and enriches every encounter with its mere presence! In the video, I go into how “champions” make encounters cooler and what makes the Corrupted Champion so special. Have fun!
Question: Statblock format
I’m writing the creatures with D&D 2024 in mind, but the statblock format and language are still based on 2014 to make the transition less drastic. Would you prefer that I switch over to the wording and presentation style used in the 2024 Monster Manual? Let me know!

Each creature's Journal is filled with story hooks and different narrative prompts, from foreshadowing the creature's existence to flavourful snippets to really sell the creature's appearance, combat prowess and eventual demise.
FAQ:
1) Do I need to change anything?
Two things:
-
Update the Beneos module and the D&D 5e System for FoundryVTT
-
Use Foundry VTT v13, as the cloud integration supports v13 only.
2) How do I link my cloud account with Patreon?
Create an account at beneos.cloud, log in, and click “Connect Patreon" on the upper left side. The link between accounts remains active as long as your pledge is active. In the module, simply log in with your Beneos account.
3) Can I still download ZIP files?
Yes. On beneos.cloud you can download individual packs or complete backlogs as ZIPs and use them as you wish, for example via Roll20/Alchemy RPG.
4) How do I install directly into Foundry VTT?
In the Beneos module (v13), use the Search Engine: Click “Install” or drag-and-drop into your world. No manual downloads/uploads/imports/compendia needed anymore.
Foundry VTT V12 users can continue to load old zip files with their V12 Beneos module, but please note that for technical reasons, new content can only be released for V13, so it is advisable to update as soon as possible.
