Threats from Another World - Volume Four: Master Rank

Threats from Another World - Volume Four: Master Rank  by Kaid Brenen Sacander

Gear up for the fight of your lives

This unofficial 96-page fan supplement adapts 13 large monsters to the MONSTER GUTS ruleset, along with new rewards, status conditions, and rules for augmenting lower-ranked monsters to be Master Rank threats!

To face these lethal foes, arm your scavengers with newly-adapted gear and techniques, such as the Slinger, Wirebugs, Switch Skills, and Hunter Arts!

This fourth volume highlights powerful monsters that should be only be hunted by experienced veteran scavengers with heavily upgraded gear. Included in their ranks are new rules for especially challenging Arena Monsters: extremely dangerous foes whom you battle in their lairs or other locations that don't allow for Bouts or Lulls, only a contest of endurance and tenacity.

Large monsters included in this volume:  Ahtal-Ka, Akantor, Behemoth, Brachydios, Diablos, Espinas, Garangolm, Gore Magala, Lunagaron, Magnamalo, Rajang, Ukanlos, and Zinogre. 

Also included with this volume is a printable playsheet to quickly reference statistics for large monsters during a hunt.

This adaptation, and future volumes of the Threats from Another World series, only includes monsters that have appeared in the main series of Monster Hunter video games, and will not feature any monsters that have only appeared in Monster Hunter Online, Monster Hunter Frontier, Monster Hunter Stories, or other non-main-series games in the franchise.
