Spiritual Weapon 5e Tactics

Spiritual Weapon 5e is the choice spell for players who want to deal effective force damage to enemies from a distance — a great spell that (surprisingly) isn’t concentration based, and only costs a bonus action.

Picture this scenario: you’re a cleric exploring the grimy streets of the kingdom’s destitute reaches. You see a woman being cornered into an alley, the brigands planning to beat her and take her money. They ignore your shouts, so you instead cast a powerful evocation spell. When the woman opens her eyes, she sees you and a floating broadsword — and the brigands lying unconscious (or dead) on the ground.

What did you do? You cast Spiritual Weapon 5e, a classic 2nd-level evocation spell that lets you make a ranged attack. If you’re a new player to TTRPGs or a dungeon master in training, I’ll share a guide about the Spiritual Weapon 5e effect and how you can use it to your advantage in this 5e strategy guide.

What Is the Spiritual Weapon 5e Spell?

According to the D&D 5th Edition Handbook, these are the official stats of the Spiritual Weapon 5e spell:

Level: 2
School: Evocation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: 60 feet
Components: V, S
Duration: 1 minute

You create a floating, spectral weapon within range that lasts for the duration or until you cast this spell again. When you cast the spell, you can make a melee spell attack against a creature within 5 feet of the weapon. On a hit, the target takes force damage equal to 1d8 + your spellcasting ability modifier.

For a bonus action, you can move the weapon up to 20 feet and repeat the attack against a creature within 5 feet of it.

The spectral weapon can appear however you want it to. If your character is a cleric of a deity that is known for a specific weapon or weapon style, the spell can resemble that weapon.

Casting Spiritual Weapon using a 3rd Level or higher spell slot increases the damage by 1d8 for every two slot levels above the 2nd.

The spell’s range of 60 feet is usually enough to attack a wide range of enemies, including flying creatures. The range also works for those who have limited movement. However, you may not be able to cast the spell while restrained, given how it requires somatic and verbal components.

How Spiritual Weapon 5e Works

Spiritual Weapon belongs to the cleric spell list and lasts for only one minute. It’s best used for melee attacks against creatures within five feet of the spectral weapon, but it's basically perfect for almost every RPG campaign.

I want to emphasize that the spell only works on creatures – including humans and humanoids – and that technically, you can’t use it on objects like doors or walls. If your dungeon master is kind though, you should be able to get around this technicality.

In terms of damage, Spiritual Weapon applies a 1d8+ ability modifier. Since clerics usually have a higher Wisdom modifier, you should get in solid damage on every hit.

Of course, you don’t have to focus all of your attacks on a single enemy. The advantage of the Spiritual Weapon 5e spell is that it can attack a different target on each bonus action. Plus, you can move it 20 feet further on every turn, as part of that same Bonus Action 5e.

The good stuff doesn’t end there. If you cast Spiritual Weapon with a high-level spell slot, the damage increases significantly. You can reduce your enemy’s hit points dramatically while you’re staying well away from their reach!

What Classes Can Use the Spiritual Weapon 5e Spell?

By default, clerics have the unique ability to cast Spiritual Weapon — a fitting spell for their divine magic. However, other classes can also pick up, learn, or acquire the spell:

College of Lore: Bards, in general, can eventually learn Spiritual Weapon as they learn bits and pieces of magic through Magical Secrets. Lore bards have additional secret choices at the 6th Level, so you can choose Spiritual Weapon as a new spell.
Divine Soul: Sorcerers under the Divine Soul subclass have access to either the cleric or sorcerer spell list (hence, why the subclass is extremely popular, but that’s just my personal observation). A Divine Soul sorcerer can learn Spiritual Weapon 5e as early as a cleric, at Level 3.
Oath of Conquest: Paladins belonging to the Oath of Conquest subclass can learn Spiritual Weapon at Level 5. This addition makes sense because Oath of Conquest paladins are often combative in nature. However, you still have to wait two more levels before your character can fully exploit the spell. Giving a paladin a ranged attack makes them even better at offense.

Spiritual Weapon For Players

As a spell that deals force damage, Spiritual Weapon is an ability to be reckoned with. Most other classes cannot resist force damage, making it effective at reducing the hit points of enemies, even if they have numerous other resistances.

As a non-concentration-based spell, Spiritual Weapon also allows you to cast other long-duration spells along with it, such as Bless 5e or Haste 5e. Similarly, you can also cast cantrip spells like Sacred Flame.

Since Spiritual Weapon is a bonus action, you’re free to use spell slots to further increase your damage against enemies, or provide protection and healing to allies, such as with Cure Wounds 5e. Thanks to these combinations, your character becomes a formidable opponent that your enemies will tremble to behold.

Though Spiritual Weapon 5e may have a little less of a "surprise" factor if you're playing single player DnD, it's also the type of spell that's valuable even if you aren't playing with a gaming group, or adventuring in a party.

Can Spiritual Weapons Critical Strike?

Seeing how the conjured weapon is spectral in nature, I understand why this is a frequent question among players. The short answer? Yes! Spiritual Weapon can critically strike since, by all technicalities, it’s still a melee spell attack. If you roll a natural 20, you’ll be able to hit with double damage. This condition applies even to subsequent attacks.

Ending the Spell

Each cast of Spiritual Weapon only lasts for a minute. But even though the duration is short, the conjured weapon cannot be destroyed. It doesn’t have hit points, nor can it take damage. In addition, Spiritual Weapon doesn’t stop if the caster is incapacitated or unconscious. The spell only ends after the set duration, or if it moves far enough away from the caster.

Counters to Spiritual Weapon 5e

As with virtually every spell in D&D, there are possible counters to the Spiritual Weapon effect. For example, if you are affected by Silence 5e, you won't be able to cast the spell to begin with. If you're affected by Cause Fear 5e or Charm Person 5e, similarly, you won't be able to attack your intended target, even if you have Spiritual Weapon already active.

Use Your Spiritual D&D Bag

Whether you're a player or a dungeon master, check out this awesome carrying bag designed for tabletop roleplaying. These bags have separate pouches for holding minis, dice, books, character sheets, space for maps, and even laptops.

If you're like me, you sometimes have a lot of things that you use for your tabletop gaming, and it's extremely convenient to have and carry everything in one compact space. You can also carry your DnD campaign planner in the bag to make your tabletop gaming experience complete.

Make your games stylish and easy to manage with a bag made for you, and that comes in custom colors that fit your play style.

Spiritual Weapon 5e For Dungeon Masters

As far as Dungeon Master tools go, you can grant the use of a Spiritual Weapon or use the spell to boost the destructive capabilities of any monster or foe. Because Spiritual Weapon is such a versatile spell, and naturally comes with many applications, it’s a sure value-added to any villain or their henchmen.

Allowing Players to Flank with Spiritual Weapon

It may seem like the Spiritual Weapon spell can serve as a tool for flanking, or when two allies are within five feet of an enemy’s opposite sides.

Flanking is a great way to get a melee attack advantage. However, this strategy requires creatures to be on either side of the opponent. Some players may argue that the Spiritual Weapon, sent by the caster to the opposite side of the enemy, counts as flanking. I’ll be clear though: it’s not. Technically.

You need allied creatures to get the melee attack advantage from flanking. Technically. Seeing as Spiritual Weapon is simply a weapon, it doesn’t meet the qualifications. If your players attempt to get extra damage through “flanking” with the spell, don’t grant it unless you plan to allow Spiritual Weapon to quite significantly increase in power.

Spiritual Weapon Aesthetics

The type of weapon a cleric or Divine Soul sorcerer can summon adds flavor to your DnD characters and DnD campaign ideas. Since these classes primarily use Divine Magic and are associated with a religious figure, you can make it so that their Spiritual Weapon manifests into something associated with their religion. For example, a cleric that follows Thor can have a Spiritual Weapon that looks like his hammer.

For Lore bards who eventually learn the spell, the weapon could deal thunder damage when used with other spells innate to the caster. You can also include demigods, divine emissaries, and lesser gods who can cast Spiritual Weapon.

Allowing Enemies to Cast Spiritual Weapon 5e

Consider challenging your players by including enemies that can cast Spiritual Weapon 5e.

In some of the official settings, you have characters that can perform the spell like the Mummy Lord, Choldrith, and Sahuagin Priestess. If you need some DnD quest ideas or ideas for DnD one shots, you can also add similar characters to your campaign and have them cast Spiritual Weapon too, for an added surprise to your players.

Utilize Spiritual Weapon for Additional Excitement

Spiritual Weapon is a great ranged spell attack, hitting enemies as far as 60 feet away. Since it’s also cast with a bonus action, Spiritual Weapon can be used with cantrips and other spells to enhance either one’s effects. This spell is thus a handy skill to learn for clerics, Divine Soul sorcerers, Lore bards, and Oath of Conquest paladins.

Since the spell can effectively attack from a range (from the player's perspective), it's also excellent for helping to avoid a TPK DnD.

With the details and strategies I shared, you can hopefully take advantage of this versatile spell for your upcoming campaigns. Your character, depending on the class, needs to only be at least Level 3 to cast it — which should be easy enough to achieve in longer campaigns.

Spiritual Weapon in D&D 5e vs. Eternity TTRPG

Though Spiritual Weapon is a distinctly D&D 5e spell, the Eternity TTRPG Game System offers many spell and ability effects that closely resemble Spiritual Weapon 5e.

In D&D 5e, Spiritual Weapon creates a magical weapon that floats around according to the caster’s will, and strikes at enemies every round when a Bonus Action is expended. Similarly, in the Eternity TTRPG Game System, numerous spells and abilities may be “maintained,” which allow for extra attacks or damage each round of combat.

What Classes in Eternity TTRPG Use Spiritual Weapon?

There are many core classes and expansion classes that can use spiritual weapon-like effects, and many more classes that also gain similar effects through their spell and ability critical options.

Though most of these spell and ability effects are not the exact same as spiritual weapon, you’ll notice how similarly they act, as far as mechanics go – creating a mobile attacking unit, effectively.

Dragon Knight – Core Class Ability

Dragon Heart: you forever soul-bind with a dragon, becoming its lifelong companion.

The “Dragon” and dragon knight share

HP and Wisdom, and the “Dragon” has stats otherwise the same as the dragon

knight. However, due to the immense effort it requires to maintain mental connection with the “Dragon,” you permanently have -10Initiative.

On the “Dragon’s” turn, it may use any

Action, spell, or ability, available to the dragon knight. The “Dragon” acts on the

same turn as the dragon knight.

The “Dragon” always has the same stats

as the dragon knight, whether from level increases, buffs, or debuffs. If the “Dragon” or dragon knight receives a buff or debuff, it also affects the other. “Dragon” does not count as a summoned unit. Once this ability is chosen it becomes a passive effect, always active, and cannot be dispelled.

(Winged Death) You instead have only -9Initiative. You can choose to maintain this critical for 2Inspiration (and 0Wisdom).
(Knight of the Blood Oath) You also gain +3Resilience, +3Dodge, and +3Will. You can instead choose to maintain this critical for 3Inspiration (and 0Wisdom).
(Memories of Tarscisia) If either the dragon knight or “Dragon” is Dazed, Afraid, or Taunted, the other is not affected. You can instead choose to maintain this critical for 3Inspiration (and 0Wisdom).

Druid – Core Class Ability

Spirit Animal: you summon an animal companion with 1HP and Stats otherwise the same as the druid’s, except with -5Resilience, -5Dodge, and -5Will. On “Spirit Animal’s” turn, choose an enemy in 1Range, and roll d20. If you roll 18-20, “Spirit Animal” attacks, automatically dealing 1damage. “Spirit Animal” may also use “Charge” (see Chapter 14, “Additional Actions” - you may use Faith vs. Resilience to do so, if you so choose), but doing so reduces the druid’s Wisdom. “Spirit Animal” acts on the same turn as the druid.

“Spirit Animal” always has the same

Stats as the druid, whether from level increases, buffs, or debuffs. If the druid

receives a debuff, it also affects the “Spirit Animal.” However, “Spirit Animal” is immune to both Wisdom damage and debuffs that cause recurring damage.

It takes 15minutes to summon/ tame a

“Spirit Animal,” so a new “Spirit Animal” cannot be created during Combat. You

can only have one “Spirit Animal” active at a time. You continually maintain “Spirit Animal” for 3Inspiration.

(Dazed): while you are Dazed, “Spirit

Animal” is also Dazed.

(Nature’s Wrath) You instead have two (2) “Spirit Animals” active at a time, and they each only have -1Reslience, -1Dodge, and -1Will. You continually maintain this Critical for 5Inspiration (and 0Wisdom).
(Nature’s Healing) Your “Spirit Animal” instead has 2HP. The next time you or an ally take damage while adjacent to your “Spirit Animal,” roll d20. If you roll 6-20, your “Spirit Animal” instead takes that damage.
(Primal) Your “Spirit Animal” instead has 2HP, and has +4Strike Bonus when using “Charge.” You continually maintain this Critical for 5Inspiration (and 0Wisdom).

Nether Knight – Core Class Spell

Phantom Image (Magic): 1Range, creates a “Phantom Image” of yourself. Allies and enemies are able to tell which is you and which is your “Phantom Image.”

If a “Phantom Image” is attacked, it is

automatically dispelled. “Phantom Images” have the same Speed as the nether knight. In order for a “Phantom Image” to attack, it must be within a number of spaces of the nether knight equal to the nether knight’s Speed value. If that condition is met, on “Phantom Image’s” turn, choose an enemy in 1Range, and roll d20. If you roll 18-20, “Phantom Image” attacks, automatically dealing 1damage. “Phantom Images” act on the same turn as the nether knight.

If the nether knight receives a debuff, it

also affects “Phantom Images.” However, “Phantom Images” are immune to both

Wisdom damage and debuffs that cause recurring damage.

You can create and control an

unlimited number of “Phantom Images.”

(Dazed): while you are Dazed,

“Phantom Images” are also Dazed.

(Fallen Star) Creates two (2) “Phantom Images.”
(Phantom Soul) Move up to your Speed value before or after casting this spell. You can also move up to 4Speed before or after casting this spell, for Battle Duration.
(Elemental Chaos) Also, any time any of your “Phantom Images” is attacked, roll d20. If you roll 16-20, they are not dispelled. This critical effect stacks with the effect from “Phantom Mists.”

Summoner – Core Class Spell

Summon (Magic): you create a wondrous beast of your choice with 1HP and Stats otherwise the same as the summoner’s, except with -5Resilience, -5Dodge, and -5Will. On the “Summon’s” turn, choose an enemy in 1Range, and roll d20. If you roll 18-20, the “Summon” attacks, automatically dealing 1damage. “Summon” may also use “Charge” (see Chapter 14, “Additional Actions” - you may use Faith vs. Resilience to do so, if you so choose), but doing so reduces the summoner’s Wisdom. “Summon” acts on the same turn as the summoner.

“Summon” always has the same Stats

as the summoner, whether from level increases, buffs, or debuffs. If the summoner

receives a debuff, it also affects the “Summon.” However, “Summon” is immune to both Wisdom damage and debuffs that cause recurring damage.

“Summon” uses at least 3Intelligence to

maintain. For every additional 3Intelligence used to individually maintain a

“Summon,” the “Summon” roll 3 numbers lower to deal damage, and gains +1HP.

It takes 15minutes to create a new

“Summon,” so a new “Summon” cannot be created during Combat. You can only have one “Summon” active at a time, until you reach 21+ Intelligence used.

(Dazed): while you are Dazed, your

“Summon” is also Dazed.

(Summoning) All “Summons” also have 2Range with their attacks. You can instead choose to continually maintain this Critical for 1Inspiration (plus the base Intelligence used per “Summon,” and 0Wisdom).
(Mystic Infusion) Every turn, one of your “Summons,” at your choice, rolls a d20. If you roll 18-20, they either heal you (at any distance), themself or one ally in 4Range +1HP, at your choice. This Critical allows affected targets to heal 1HP above their normal max HP. Healing from this effect also Fatigues the target, giving -1Resilience, -1Dodge, and -1Will for 1Day Duration (can stack without limit). You can instead choose to continually maintain this Critical for 2Inspiration (plus the base Intelligence used per “Summon,” and 0Wisdom).
(Enhanced Gateways) This Critical can only be used if one of your “Summons” drops to 0HP or is dispelled. Instant Action. Create another “Summon” within 12Range of you that has 1HP left. This effect still applies if you intentionally dispel your “Summon.” 1Day Recharge.

Strategies for using Spiritual Weapon-Like Effects

In D&D, Spiritual Weapon 5e is technically not a “summoned unit,” like its likeness is in the Eternity TTRPG Game System. With the Eternity TTRPG equivalents being summons, however, they come with a host of beneficial options, when it comes to combat (and more).

Cause Additional Damage

The most obvious way to utilize summons is to position them near enemies so that they can attack them with you every round. It Eternity TTRPG, summons also deal “pierce damage,” meaning that targets of their attacks do not get to make a defensive roll to dodge the attack.

Summons are also therefore especially wonderful choices for healers or support characters in a team, as their summons can move around and deal damage in a fight, without the need for any attack-based stats on the summoner.

Daze Enemies with a Charge

One of the absolute best parts of summons is their ability to “Charge” enemies. On a successful Charge, the summoned unit not only moves adjacent to the enemy they’re attacking, but they also “Daze” them for 2turns.

While Dazed, character’s effects are generally interrupted, and they aren’t generally able to move, attack, or cast spells, but only defend (or in some cases, use items).

If you can have your summon successfully Charge an enemy for you, then you can meanwhile spend your turn dealing damage to that enemy, or using other vital spells or abilities that benefit your group.

Soak Up Damage for the Group

One of the other big benefits of using summons is that you can position them in the way of enemies. Rather than yourself or an ally taking damage in an important fight, why not have your summon soak up some damage instead?

Utilize Summons for Scouting

Finally, any sentient being can provide scouting, especially if they are “expendable” summons. Though this point wouldn’t be applicable in D&D 5e, as Spiritual Weapon isn’t itself a conscious being, summons in Eternity TTRPG may run recon for the adventuring group, or even sacrifice themselves down a hallway of traps.

Interested in the Eternity TTRPG Game System?

If you’ve been playing D&D for years, and have been thinking about checking out a new tabletop RPG system, take a look at Eternity TTRPG.

The Eternity TTRPG Game System probably falls somewhere between D&D 5e and D&D 4e, in terms of game mechanics and how it’s played. The game features highly tactical combat encounters, and allows groups the options (rules included) for multiple DMs.

Eternity TTRPG is also currently getting an upgrade to the core rulebook’s graphic design and artwork. If you purchase today, we’ll be sure to send you the latest version as soon as it’s ready (should be around Christmas time this year). Happy gaming!

Dear reader, I hope you enjoyed this article. Tabletop gaming has been a passion of mine since I was 6 years old. I've played just about every game from Dungeons and Dragons to video games like Final Fantasy. These games have inspired me, made me laugh, made me cry, and brought me endless hours of enjoyment.

I started Eternity TTRPG - and the indie tabletop game that goes along with it (Eternity Shop) - to share my love of gaming with others. I believe that in our technology-driven age, tabletop games help bring a sense of magic and community back into our world.

If you love the site, please share it with others! I have lots of gaming-related material for you to peruse and use in your own gaming sessions. If you have any questions about the site or want to contribute, just send me a message using the "Contact" page, which you can find in the site's footer.

6 TTRPG Classes You Need to Know | Meet the Classes of Emanation

September 16, 2026

Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UteTnsp4yIE Transcription [00:00:00] Welcome back to the Eternity TTRPG YouTube channel, where I discuss different happenings in the tabletop role-playing universes, as well as talk about the game that my husband and I have been developing. So we've already gone over all of the races in the world of Eternity. Um, you know, your basics from human all the way down to espers and jaidori and treants, which are pretty neat races, if you ask me. Um, but we have not gotten to classes, right? So the classes that I wanted to start with is gonna be the first six classes that you're exposed to in Emanation, which is the card game that my husband and I came out with. So that is a combat TTRPG card game. And in this game, we show off six classes to start with, and we picked out the classes that we thought could showcase, um, a little bit of the creativity when it comes to Eternity, but also [00:01:00] some of your favorite classics that you would see in, like, D&D and other role-playing games. So to start that off, I'm actually gonna talk about the different types of classes first. So we have it split up into your casters, your, um, fighters, and your, like, spell casters, which is gonna be your crossover, a mix of the two. So the two fighters that we feature in the Emanation box is gonna be the assassin and the berserker. So the assassin is always, uh, bringing final memories for people. So since the Eternal Wars, they have been the masters of death who train to deliver a sudden death. So their main ability and what makes them the assassin is, of course, their ability to assassinate. Um, so they like to lay in shadows, build up their lethality, and then spend all of it to deal a final blow or a very, um, difficult blow, right? And then you think about your berserker, [00:02:00] and berserkers, they are furious and brutal. The more rage they have, the more power they have. And a berserker never feel, fears up-and-close encounters with anyone. So with the berserker, they are all about let me hit as much as possible, as hard as possible to as many people as possible, and that's kind of how the class was built with Emanation in mind. So the other thing about berserker to keep in mind, though, is that they are probab- they are the class that has the least health across the board when playing Emanation. So the goal is definitely, um, to get everybody before they get you. So may the rolls be in your favor. Eternity TTRPG has released a card game battler which emulates combat from the tabletop role-playing genre. Sparks of Eternity: Emanation is fast-paced, easy to learn, and features six classes from your favorite TTRPGs. [00:03:00] Each class deck comes with its own set of unique abilities which everyone plays at the same time so there's never any downtime at your table. Each turn, everyone's characters levels up, giving players access to even more options. If you're interested in taking a look, we have our sales page live now, packed with details. So moving on to your caster classes, that is gonna be your druid and summoner in Emanation. So the druid, of course, is gonna be a classic class that we see in a lot of ta- tabletop RPGs with your idea of shifting into different animals and working with the nature around you, right? The class lends itself to the Jadorian treant races because those were the protectors of the wild's floral fauna and the Tree of Life. Um, so a lot of your treants and Jadories are recommended to be druids. But that's just Eternity lore for you. The other caster class is gonna be the summoner. The [00:04:00] summoner was actually my first character in this um, world of Eternity, so it has a special place in my heart a little bit. But summoners are the gatekeepers of the world, and Through their portals, they can, like, pull different things out of these portals, um, and just, you know, summon them, use them, use their abilities. So they're definitely more of like a, "Hey, I'm gonna stay back here and send my summon in to do all the work." Um, they also take advantage of what's called a grand summoning. So rather than attacking every single turn in the game of Emanation, they're gonna take a turn to build up, and then on that next turn, they're gonna do something big. So they could, they could do, like, one damage to everyone or two damage to one person or a really big heal to themselves. So that makes them kind of fun, and it does have its trade-offs. So then the last two classes, which I also think are, um, really just I've [00:05:00] seen them in Eternity tabletop role-playing, so I don't know how they would translate to other tabletop role-playing games. And these are also going to be your spell fighters, and that is the Judge and the Oracle. So with the Judge, um, they are supposed to be the keepers of peace. They install law and order, and they're often acting as the accuser, judge, and jury. So it's, uh, definitely a play on law bringing and whatnot. So the Judge itself, when you're playing it in the world of Emanation, is that it defends itself as often as possible. But when it is not defending, it hits really hard. So it's definitely like another trade-off class. You go like every other turn, you want to do this to do that sort of thing. And it's also a really difficult class to actually target, um, so that's kind of a fun quirk with Judge. With [00:06:00] Oracle, Oracle is arguably the hardest class to play in the game of Emanation, um, just because of the different technicalities of it and how it interacts with everything else. I definitely think Oracle is best in a three or more player situation rather than a 1v1 situation because, like, some of the abilities with Oracle is better on a group. So, for example, they have an ability called Chains of Con-Condemnation, which basically it takes two characters at your choosing, two of your opponents, and chains them together. So if person A takes a hit and takes damage from something or someone, then the Oracle gets to roll for person B to see if person B will get hit as well. So chaining them together so that way they both take damage, and then the Oracle comes out on top. So that's definitely a really fun note about Oracle and the class that it [00:07:00] is. So I know this was a quick rundown of these six classes that you find in Emanation, and like I said, some of them do translate to other tabletop role-playing games because sometimes you can't just, you know, change the classics, right? But we can still put our spins on them and see how it goes. Anyway, um, let me know in the comments which class you would really like to play, and if you wanna see more of the classes, always check out the website. You can always check out the game. Um, let us know your thoughts and comment, like, subscribe. We will catch y'all next time.

Deepborn, Azureborn & Bogborn: The Final Crooked Moon Races

September 9, 2026

Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ytddTkKJQQ Transcription [00:00:00] Welcome back to Eternity TTRPG YouTube channel, where I talk about different happenings in the tabletop role play universe, as well as the role play game that my husband and I have been creating and we recently released our first product of. So this go around, I am going to finish up the Crooked Moon races. There are quite a few in the Crooked Moon universe, so it's taken a while to get through them, but I have three left, and those three we're gonna cover. So I have the Deepborn, Azureborn, and Bogborn. Now, the theme with Crooked Moon is that they're all horror related in a way. They give you an eerie feeling, um, they're kind of like our worst nightmares put into D&D, right? So to jump right in with that, we're gonna go with the Deepborn first. So think of the Deepborn as a sea monster, for lack of a better term, right? So you have this eldritch knowledge that they're using, and [00:01:00] because they're, like, Deepborn and in the sea, there's a lot of things about them that human races wouldn't understand. So you get to really take this idea of understanding and knowing and kind of run with it, and it's almost like whatever you say in the campaign is true because you're just this cosmic being of sorts that gets to decide what's true about your race, right? Um, another way that I think of them is kind of alien-ish or there was, um, a Netflix movie that came out recently that I would think of them as. Um, it was a really neat movie, like, this, um, family got stuck inside their house because of these water beings. Recommend it. But continuing on, they're just super creepy and could be really fun to play because of how creepy they are, right? Because they're always gonna have this, um- kind of gibberish going on in their brain that they're probably spewing out because of the eldritch knowledge that they have. Um, not to mention being sea monsters, they're gonna be [00:02:00] amphibious, so you're gonna have that water to land going on. You're gonna have maybe some dark vision available, so that could be a really neat play, never having to need the light. Um, but could that also play against you? Like not needing to be in the light, maybe you're fearful of it as your character. Kind of a cool idea. Um, other character ideas is, um, what if your Deepborn character was absolutely terrified of the ocean even though they're able to breathe underwater and basically come from the sea? Um, other thing that I've already touched on is that they kind of hear these whispers in gibberish from eldritch, that eldritch knowledge, um, and it can be a lot of like the, "Whoa, what was that? Did you guys hear that?" And they could just be always feeding the campaign in that way. Um, other thing is like treating things that are not normal by human standards as [00:03:00] completely normal. Um, these incomprehensible like cosmic entities could be really cool. Um, and the other thing is like the Deepborn could genuinely not understand why their behavior is so disturbing to the party. So super fun. I think that could be a really cool take on it, any of those ideas that you could go with. I just like the idea of a sea monster kind of thing because I think I always thought, you know, the ocean is very unexplored. Um, it's definitely the last wonders of the world, right? 'Cause we can't go as deep as we'd like to in it, and it would just be cool to get to experience that as a sea creature. Eternity TTRPG has released a card game battler which emulates combat from the tabletop role-playing genre. Sparks of Eternity: Emanation is fast-paced, easy to learn, and features six classes from your favorite TTRPGs. Each class deck comes with [00:04:00] its own set of unique abilities, which everyone plays at the same time, so there's never any downtime at your table. Each turn, everyone's characters levels up, giving players access to even more options. If you're interested in taking a look, we have our sales page live now, packed with details. Moving on to the Azure Born. So the Azure Born is a prophetic harpy-like sky dweller. Okay, so when I hear prophetic, we're definitely thinking about a character that knows the future, knows what's gonna happen, and they're just like, they can always get a glimpse of the fate and how it's going to affect them. Now, the play that I would like with this is, yes, they can see the future, but obviously the decisions you make in the campaign can change the future they see. So that could be really cool as an NPC even to have, like, this sky-dwelling harpy that plays the prophet, gives all these things that could happen, tells you how the campaign ends, and if you as the campaign [00:05:00] doesn't like that ending, just make the decisions to change it, right? Now, as a character that you can play, right, they could be desperately trying to prevent what they've seen, um, or they could even lie about the visions that they see, so that way their prophetic ability isn't even real to everyone else, um, because they know what's going to happen. They, uh, could also have a personality where they're second-guessing every decision they make because they don't wanna make the wrong one because they've already seen what happens, right? And maybe they like that outcome, so they're like, "Well, how do I get that outcome? Maybe this is right. Maybe this is wrong. I don't know." So that could be just really fun in a character with that prophetic side of things. So last one I want to hop into was the Bog Born, and the Bog Born is your swamp-dwelling creature.[00:06:00] Um, I also think of it as like a mega swamp tank kind of guy, right? So I think of Avatar: The Last Airbender with these swamp benders when they make that giant swamp vine creature that's taking all the hits from the Fire Nation, and it just keeps regenerating. So it's like a giant tank for the army. And that is absolutely what I see when I think of this because they do have that regeneration, and they're very, you know, in tune with the swamps. So that's really fun to think of. And with that, it brings out the idea of if I'm this regenerative swamp creature, Can I be taken out? Maybe that's the whole premise of their character and how you role play this character is, "I'm gonna get into every fight possible and see just how much I can take." So it definitely brings in a different dynamic into the [00:07:00] party because if you do have a character like that, how is the party gonna react to you? Is the party going to have the same mentality? Will they constantly be pulling you back from that, um, mindset? So I don't know, maybe. With all of that going on, I think the other thing is all of the, all of these characters have a different idea when it comes to the future and fate and how to handle it, right? So the Deepborn always having this whispering knowledge in their ear. It's always this question of if the whispers are true, and maybe they're always trying to find out if they're true. The Azureborn, they know what's true, but they don't know how to get to it. And the Bogborn is like, "All I know is I'm gonna be a tank and go at this," right? So overall, they're super fun. I think you can definitely see where you can take these, uh, races. Um, and as I said earlier in the video, this [00:08:00] does round out, um, all of the Crooked Moon races. You can check in past videos to see what they were covered, what we talked about, how they are. Um, moving forward, I wanna be looking at the different classes available to you, um, specifically in Crooked Moon and specifically in the game that my husband and I have been creating. Um, so as always, like, comment, subscribe, and we'll catch you next time. Thanks. Bye.

30 Years in the Making…Our Tabletop RPG Is Finally Here!

September 4, 2026

Transcribed content from our recent YouTube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DP5OwjeAVBE Transcription [00:00:00] Welcome back to Eternity TTRPG YouTube, where I go over things going on in the tabletop role-playing community, um, from D&D to Crooked Moon to other games that we see. And this might be, for me, my most exciting one that I've gone over to date. Um, we have some very exciting news. I know if you've watched our channel in the past couple weeks, in the past couple months, um, you've seen videos talking about this card game, Battler, and we even did, um, a bit of an interview style talking about this game and its origin story and why it's so important to us. And the short version of that is my husband has been working on a tabletop role-playing game for 30 years at this point, you know, since he was a boy. And now here we are at the point where we have [00:01:00] something manufactured, published, and ready to sell, and it showed up at our doorstep this week. So we had this 750-pound pallet with 28 boxes of our game show up. Here it is. Sparks of Eternity Emanation. It is here. It is just-- It's better than, you know, we imagined it would be with just... It's just amazing. You know? You always talk about these things happening and these dreams coming true and, like, making a product. And to finally have it is an amazing experience. So, you know, we of course took the time this week to revel in that a little bit and, you know, we took the pictures. We [00:02:00] did the time lapses of everything. We just-- We got to see our dream come true this week. And, you know, this was his dream first, and I got to join in with it. And especially in the past year, um, this game was, you know, an idea from me, and he made it come true with his game. And it's just been a great experience getting to work together on it and play test it and everything. So let's go ahead and get into what is in the box. The guide, of course, you know, the how-to manual, how to play, what everything is, what all the symbols mean. And then of course you have the credits on the back with our artist on there as well as, you know, my husband and I's name, which is pretty incredible getting our name on something. And then you go into the box, and you get to see that there are six dice because it is a six-player game. [00:03:00] It can be up to six players, and you can obviously have more if you have more of the, um, uh, class decks. And then you have your life sparks, the red and the yellow, the red depicting, um, five hit points and the yellow depicting one. So, you know, some characters will start with that five hit points, and some will start with six or seven. And then I've seen hit points get all the way up to twenty-one if the healing ends up going super well. And then jumping into each of the classes that you see in this box, you are going to have the judge, the druid, the oracle, the, um... Oh, gosh You have all these different classes that we decided to put into what is considered the base game. And that is just amazing to see all of this artwork and getting it put together. And then on top of all [00:04:00] that, you have, um, the different effect cards. So your dazed, your blinded, your charmed, um, as well as some additional rules and details and your turn overviews to help you with the, like, getting going and your different turns. So that way you don't have to reference the how-to guide as often, the, um, instruction manual as often. So between my husband and I, because, you know, we've been play testing this for a year at this point, it has been a full calendar year, we have gotten to the point where we can play games in under 10 minutes. Um, however, this does state that it can take up to 30 when you are just learning this game. Um, of course, when you're just learning, you take a little more time with your turns and making sure everybody understands what is going on. Because the goal is to get to play faster [00:05:00] and to dive into this world a little bit quicker, you know? You want to be able to really enjoy this class that you're taking a part of and understand like, hey, this is why the druid is the druid. The druid gets to use these different shapes, the wolf and the griffin, to do more powerful attacks. Whereas the assassin, of course, has different things to help his assassin hit harder and guarantee that it hits and it can't be blocked. Um, so there's just all these little nuances about what you're playing with to see how it goes. So, you know, it's here. We are getting the final touches on everything for shipping, getting the sales page up, um, getting, you know, the different tiers because we are gonna offer a couple different things. Like, yes, we do have the box game, [00:06:00] but we also have a PDF version that has other classes available that you can just print off at home without having to have the box. Um, the other thing is we're looking at putting together a higher tier that is gonna have the box itself, but also a dedicated art book with all of the art that, um, has been used, we intend to use, that our artist has done. And there are a few other things with that tier that you're just gonna have to check out. But with all of that being said, we should be available to ship these within the next week. So we're gonna put that link below and if you don't mind waiting just a little bit longer, you can go ahead and order. However, once we get past this first week, we are gonna be shipping on a more regular schedule and we're excited to see the, uh, demand that these games will have. Of course, we have family and friends that want to see this, but we also want to grow the community with everyone else. So any support that you want to [00:07:00] give is greatly appreciated and it helps us achieve our dreams further and hopefully we can support others on their dreams. Um, so with that, comment, like, subscribe, let us know how we're doing. If you have any questions on the game, please let us know. And if you really would like to, please, uh, hit that button to order now. Thanks so much. Bye.
