Reviews: The Greenling Player’s Guide & Paladin: Oath of the Elder Wolf

Who told you doubles are only for bundle posts?

Today, we take a look at a nature species and a Paladin subclass by Midnight Moth Publications, which are designed for DnD 5th edition. We have previously reviewed The Adventurous Vampire and two Warlock subclasses: Dragon Patron & Ooze Patron, if you are interested in more of their work.

The Greenling Player’s Guide

Nature strikes back!The Greenling is not just a new species option, but a statement, too. A greenling is both a humanoid and a plant, awakened by Nature itself to correct imbalances in the World. They are eternal, but instead of feeling superior to others, they embrace the role of caretakers, being ageless creatures that never die unless killed. The supplement explores how a greenling interacts in the world, from ordinary folks to druids and dragons and even in cities. There are also name suggestions to inspire you when naming your character and a few origin questions to set you up, followed by the species traits. Every trait feels logical, like regeneration, natural armor and feeding, supporting that we are talking about a creature made of nature. If you want your next character to be connected with nature, then this sapient, animate plant folk is a choice you should consider.

Paladin: Oath of the Elder Wolf

Lunar fury! Since it is a subclass, there is no extra rich lore present here, unlike the Greenling, but the presentation is flavorful. The idea is that the Paladin may take an oath under a full moon and gain the ability to transform into a wolf humanoid. Rather than a knight in a shining armor, this Paladin is a feral guardian empowered by the moon, with vulnerability to silver weapons. Other abilities focus on regeneration, resistances and a moonlight madness at level 20, where there is only one pretador. I’ll let you guess who.

An awakened Greenling.

Layout & Art

Both supplements have a clear presentation in a 2-column layout, and although small in page count, they have big personalities. The art pieces are handcrafted and speak for themselves. Just take a look at the picture of a Greenling in this article, and you will immediately get the vibe.

Final thoughts

Overall, both supplements are true to their names. The Greeling is a promise to Nature itself, while the Oath of the Elder Wolf is a sacred knight with teeth. If you are like me and enjoy character storytelling and myths, then I recommend that you keep an eye on these two.
