DSA source books - Aventurian Transmutarium, hardback, 160 pages

In the darkened laboratories of Aventurian chimerologists, research is conducted on a variety of hybrid beings. Such a workshop, where bodies are formed and life is created through magic, is known as a Transmutarium among scholars. The Aventurian Transmutarium presents over 50 chimeras and daimonids—hybrids of living beings and demons—that shape the history of Aventuria. In addition to gameplay elements, illustrations, and numerous ideas for use in adventures, it also includes hints and rules for chimerologists who wish to recreate these milestones in transmutation research.

A detailed chapter on the history of Aventurian chimerology provides local Shiver figures, behind which chimeras are concealed, discusses the magic-theoretical background of the transformation from chimeras to supernatural beings, and explores how culture-creating peoples can emerge from artificially created hybrids. In this context, the art of farm animal chimerologists, who can alter entire regions with their creations, is examined. Background information on nearly 30 notorious chimerologists complements the creatures in the main section and offers plenty of inspiration for creating your own heroes and antagonists.

Since chimerology is a discipline of infinite possibilities, the Aventurian Transmutarium contains universal rules for creating your own transmutations. Both the modification of already known chimeras and the creation of entirely new concepts, including reproductive hybrids with magical talent, are possible. With the help of professional packages and a wealth of special skills, a diverse range of chimera masters can be designed, who will soon research the secrets of life with aids such as Zurbaran's tincture.
