[Drop Dead Studios] The Diviner's Handbook


Product Discussion


Continuing our line of sphere-specific expansions for Spheres of Power, Drop Dead Studios is proud to present our fourth book in the series, The Diviner's Handbook!

The Diviner's handbook doubles the number of talents for the Divination sphere and expands the alternate divinations section to include a bonus divination for every other sphere; you can ferret out shapeshifters with the Alteration divination, or look into the past with Divine Time. If swordplay interests you, one of the handbook's five archetypes is the Blind Swordsman archetype, which realizes the classic concept of a warrior with senses far more capable than sight.

Also included are new feats and traits, casting traditions, rituals, incantations, magic items, and monsters themed around Divination magic, adding up to 34 pages in total.

If you're interested in divination or Spheres of Power, I encourage you to check it out!

Is there an available release schedule for the varoius sphere centric book or is it more "when we get it ready it does out? I'm really interested in some of the spheres so I'd be thrilled if I had an idea whenthey were planned to be released.

Seconded. I'd really like to stay in the loop on the release schedule of these for a campaign I'm working on.

I think the goal is about one per month, but to my knowledge, there's no exact, specific schedule. They DO generally mention which one is coming out next, though, and you can get updates on that by subscribing to the Patreon.

At the moment we're releasing them as they're ready, but now that I'm board as a project manager I'm attempting to streamline and organize things a bit more. I still can't offer a complete schedule though, and I won't ever attempt specific release dates. As Rednal says, we'd like to be releasing approximately one book a month (but play loose with that).

What I can tell you is this:


  • Enhancement and Time are currently the books closest to release, and one of the two will almost certainly be our next released book (with the other probably following it).
  • We have some other books that are probably close to playtesting, including Light, Mind, War, and Illusion, so those are ones to look for next.
  • Alteration, Conjuration, Death, Fate, Life, and Weather are all being worked on, but are in various stages of progress and may not be close to playtesting.
  • Creation, Dark, Protection, and Warp aren't being worked on at the moment, so their release is probably pretty far off.
  • And lastly, if you haven't seen them already, Nature, Telekinesis, and Destruction are books 1, 2, and 3.

All of this is very tentative and entirely subject to change. If one of our authors gets carried off by a dragon, progress could halt on their book. If another is inspired by a muse, Dark might be completed very quickly.


Thanks. I'll look into the patreon.
