Node

Monster nodes serve as a simple way to identify the relative difficulty of a given monster. Node 1 signifies monsters that can be hunted from the beginning of a campaign, while Node 4 represents challenging adversaries that will not appear until further into a settlement's life cycle.

A campaign's story revolves around its central adversaries; a core monster and a finale monster. The rest of the campaign has space for quarries and nemesis monsters from each node. Campaigns like People of the Dream Keeper specify monsters from each node to tell the story of the settlement. Players looking for an experience that includes other expansions can customize what monsters they use to fill each node.
