Most of these are spell cards, and they are my own versions of them. Some are as published for D&D 5e (either the 2014 or 2024 versions, as I see fit), some are modified because I thought the published spells needed a change, some are my own homebrews, and some are just changed so the contents fit on the size of card I use. text/html 2025-06-21T20:23:11+00:00 Ron Helwig (admin@undisclosed.example.com) https://vikingworld.ronhelwig.com/tools/crobi/druidcraft?rev=1750537391 Druidcraft section | Transmutation Cantrip property | Casting Time | 1 Action property | Range/Area | 30 feet property | Components | V,S property | Duration | Instantaneous text | Whispering to the spirits of nature, you create one of the following effects within range: text/html 2025-06-21T20:22:14+00:00 Ron Helwig (admin@undisclosed.example.com) https://vikingworld.ronhelwig.com/tools/crobi/dancing_lights?rev=1750537334 Dancing Lights section | Illusion Cantrip property | Casting Time | 1 Action property | Range/Area | 120 feet property | Components | V,S,M property | Duration | 1 Minute, Concentration text | You create up to four torch-size lights within range, making them appear as torches, lanterns, or glowing orbs that hover for the duration.

Sling Slings should have a better range than the rules say. I change it so that when using a cast bullet, designed for usage in a sling, the range is the same as that of a shortbow. I believe the evidence shows that as a valid correction. When using a found stone, the distance is half of that of a shortbow, due to the random characteristics of the rock. text/html 2025-06-21T19:58:30+00:00 Ron Helwig (admin@undisclosed.example.com) https://vikingworld.ronhelwig.com/additions/undead_sickness?rev=1750535910 Draugrveiki Combining Draugr—the undead creatures of Norse mythology—with veiki, meaning sickness.

In Viking society, where honor and reputation were as valuable as gold, a holmgang was seen as a lawful and respected way to resolve serious accusations or insults. text/html 2025-06-21T19:40:27+00:00 Ron Helwig (admin@undisclosed.example.com) https://vikingworld.ronhelwig.com/culture/drengr?rev=1750534827 Norse Ideals There were several qualities that the Norse considered essential to being an honorable person. Someone who lived by these values could be called a drengr—a person of good repute, strength, and self-respect. Reputation was everything. These ideals weren’t just personal—they shaped how your family, your village, and your gods judged you.
