Description
The Ultimate Sci-Fi Expansion for 5th Edition
Dark Matter is your sci-fi handbook for 5th Edition. This book builds on the core classes, species, and rules of 5.5E so you can play the game you know and love in a new, thrilling sci-fantasy universe. Whether you intend to dabble with the rules, mash Dark Matter up with another setting, or explore the ‘Verse in depth, Dark Matter is the perfect companion for your next sci-fi campaign!
This stunning 445-page PDF is fully bookmarked to ensure you can always find the subclass or spell you’re looking for!
Mecha
Stomp through the streets and battle colossal kaiju in a hundred-foot tall Battleframe! Your mech suit levels up alongside your character, and you can outfit it with an arsenal of weapons, armor, and upgrades.
Alien Species
Play as a rainbow-colored oozelike Amoeboid, a Skathári bug barbarian, a towering Nautilid fish-person in power armor, a robot cowboy Vect, or one of a thousand humanoid offshoots. The ‘Verse is a place of endless diversity, of which you play but one small part. Eight new playable species await you in Dark Matter!
Futuristic Heroes
Fantasy and science fiction live side by side in the ‘Verse. Play an axe-wielding barbarian or a machine-gun toting android. Wizards and power-armored space commandos can plot to steal a starship. And lute-strumming bards can ply their trade in taverns perched on asteroids.
Find 45 new subclasses for core and Mage Hand Press classes in Dark Matter!
Dark Matter also introduces the new Gadgeteer class, a master of technology and engineering. Assisted by your AI companion, you can pursue the cutting edge of science, acquiring a mass of Gadgets and a wealth of knowledge along the way. This new base class comes with seven subclasses!
New and Expanded
How’s this version of Dark Matter different from the legacy 5.0 release? We stripped this book to the studs and rebuilt it with the 5.5E rules in mind. This book is 150 pages longer than the original and has been revised and streamlined throughout.
