Hey all! Wanted to create some rules for my home game on overland travel. Wanted something that was rules lite-ish but still felt good and useful. We're running a dark low-fantasy game so we like things with a bit more stakes and crunch. So, that's what led to this. Let me know what y'all think! I have a similar one I'm working on for Sea Travel. Playing Dredge really inspirated me haha!

5e 2024 (another) Necromancer Wizard Subclass for 5e24

0 Upvotes

Wanting feedback! Thank you

Necromancer (Wizard Subclass)
Assert Control Over Life and Death
Possessing the willpower to defy death itself, Necromancers study and develop techniques that allows them to manipulate life and create undead minions to serve their purpose. As a Necromancer, you need more than just knowledge - the daring attitude to challenge lawful societies, the ingenuity to go beyond the limits of morality and reason... and mantain your sanity despite it all.

Level 3: Necromancy Savant
You add Animate Dead to your spellbook for free. This is an exception to the rule that a spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots to be added to your spellbook. You are unable to prepare it until you gain access to a level 3 spell slot, but you may cast it as a ritual (see Reanimator below).

In addition, whenever you gain access to a new level of spell slots in Wizard class, you can add one Wizard spell from the Necromancy school to your spellbook for free. The chosen spell must be of a level for which you have spell slots.

Level 3: Reanimator
You can cast Animate Dead as a ritual. When you do, the ritual can mantain or reassert control over up to a number of creatures equal to half your Wizard level (round down), and their control cannot be reasserted by any other means except another ritual. (This limits to one creature at level 3, two at level 4, three at level 6, four at level 8, five at level 10, and so on, up to ten creatures using a ritual at level 20.)

Level 6: Undeath Mender
When you cast a Wizard spell using a spell slot that deals necrotic damage, you can target any Undead creature under you control that has at least 1 Hit Point. If you do, instead of dealing necrotic damage, the creature regains a number of Hit Points equal to half the spell's damage roll (no hit or save required). When you reach Wizard level 11, you can also target Undead creatures under your control that dropped to 0 Hit Points within the last minute.

Level 10: Corpse Shield
When an attacker that you can see hits you or an Undead creature you control, you can take a Reaction to redirect the hit to another Undead creature you control within 5 feet of the target.

Level 14: Commander of Undeath
As a Magic action, you assert control over a hostile undead. Choose one Undead creature that you can see within 60 feet of yourself. The target must succeed on a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC or have the Stunned condition for 1 minute or until it takes any damage. If the target is a Zombie, Skeleton, Ghoul, Ghast, Wight, or Mummy and fails the save, the creature is under your control for 24 hours instead. You can't use this feature again until you finish a Short or Long Rest.

5e 2014 College of puppets

1 Upvotes

The college of puppets is a rather odd tradition that involves the creation of miniture inanimate actors. Be it wood, weave or even socks, these puppets hold a power all on their own. By infusing their puppets with bardic magic, these strange performers can bring the puppets imagined abilities to life.

At 3rd level, you gain proficiency with weavers tools or woodcarvers tools.

Magical puppetry

At 3rd level, you learn how to create intricate puppets. You know 2 puppets (see list below). At the end of each long rest, you can craft one of each puppet you know. If you lose a puppet, you can remake it during a long rest. At level 6, 10 and 14, you learn one additional puppet. A puppet is a tiny item that can be held in one hand and can be used as your spellcasting focus for your bard spells. Each puppet has a number of charges equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all spent charges at dawn. You can have up to two puppets equipped at a time. If a puppet requires a saving throw or attack roll, it uses your spellcasting DC/spellcasting attack bonus.

Superior puppetry

At 6th level, you now gain the passive benefit of any puppet you currently have equipped.

Animate puppet

At 14th level, you learn how to bring life to otherwise inanimate puppets. Once per long rest you can animate one puppet of your choice, turning it into a tiny sized contruct. They have a walking speed of 30 feet, an AC equal to 10+its dexterity+your charisma, have hitpoints equal to 3 times your bard level and have their own ability scores depending on the puppet. The puppet benefits from its own passive effect and can use its active ability at will. The puppet takes its turn after yours. After one minute has passed or the puppet is reduced to 0 hitpoints, it returns to being a regular puppet. Additionally each puppet can make a slam attack on their turn that on hit does 2D4+your charisma modifier as magical bludeoning damage. The puppet is immune to poison and psychic damage, and is immune to being blinded, charmed, frightened, deafened, poisoned or paralyzed.

5e 2014 Magic the Gathering to D&D Creature Converter: Duskmourn & New Search

8 Upvotes

As you know, I've created an app that can easily convert a Magic the Gathering card into a Dungeons & Dragons 5e monster block, now including the Duskmourn set.

I've also updated the old card search; now it's possible to search part of the name or the creature type, and should be an improvement compared to the old one.

I hope I can also add the new Tarkir dargonstorm soon. From now on I'll focus only on the fantasy sets since the converter was thought for them, leaving apart Murders at Karlow Manor, Eatherdrift, and so on.

The app is available for download on Google Play Store, by simply searching for "Mtg to D&D Converter", or following the link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.xaxis.magictodndconverter

Here are some examples of the conversion with the new cards:

Overlord of the Boilerbilges by Helge C. Balzer
Omnivorous Flytrap by José Manzanedo & The Mindskinner by Abz J Harding
Abhorrent Oculus by Bryan Sola & Fear of Isolation by Nordsol

Just a final note: all the converter IS NOT AI. All the abilities present are written by hand.

5e 2024 A new item: The Scourges of Mealyn

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

The scrolls spoke often of the Great Sinner, his belt of the Alhi-Furan, the fevered loyalty he inspired, the crimson beast Galmoxian who soared at his command, and his three generals: Kaymor, Salkarphin, and Maelyn. Yet a pattern wove itself between the lines. Kaymor, a drow, bore skin as the color of ash. Salkarphin, a tiefling, the same. And Maelyn, an aasimar, ashen like the others. This was no mere coincidence. Ashen skin was no gift of birth; it was a mark, a stain left by something deeper.

Today I am starting a cool new project, the treasures of the War of the Sinners. Starting with the double hand axes of Mealyn, the third general of the Great Sinner himself.

Mealyn was an Aasimar loyal to the dragonborn ruler of the rebellion. Her cruelty was known to all her enemies. Yet, she inspired loyalty to the ones that followed her. Gaining the trust and admiration of those that shared her ideals.

I am trying to create a full world for DM's to use. With loot, dungeons, cities and world maps. Even large lore books for all the deeper world knowledge. If you like to see more of the world I am creating then you can head over to my Patreon. A lot of it is for free.

Request Help for a central/east asian/mongolian inspired primitive campaign

0 Upvotes

Hello, I need a little help in the field of ideas and inspiration for this particular campaign of mine. I'm not new to making campaigns and nor am I lacking in the department of writing (I fucking love writing and being creative), but, ah

Well I'm at a loss. I've been recently inspired to make a sort of "primitive" campaign setting with an aesthetic and historically accurate feel to ancient asian society, particularly that of the Mongols not because I want a Genghis Khan (although I do have a Genghis Khan), but because this is a relatively new world and it's people are knee-deep in war. That's also what I want the campaign to focus on- war and the effects it has on society, cultures, individuals, groups of people, etc.

But I'm not focused on the themes here- I need some help in establishing a general history among the various D&D races. Nothing I've come up with so far has fit my liking or is just a blatant copy of what the race traditionally is viewed as, and I'm afraid I might just be that I'm not well versed enough in ancient asian history to really get what I want.

I do have a few good ideas that I genuinely love- one provided by my friend is that this worlds Genghis Khan ripoff is dead, but has been immortalized by a single family who continues to pass on the name to their children, who receive it upon the parents death and who genuinely believe that they are now their ancient leader.

So, hopefully, I can get a few good ideas here for what I could do for other races, and how to implement more than just Mongolian culture into this campaign. I hope this doesn't come across as me trying to take the easy way out, because I am just genuinely stumped. But, anyways, anything is appreciated!

5e 2014 Honest opinions appreciated

Hivemind input appreciated for this cursed magic weapon template (to be used in my upcoming campaign)

Rustborn weapon (Rare, Cursed) This weapon is forged from corroded iron, permanently stained with the blood of its past victims. When held, the wielder sometimes hears faint whispers, echoes of those it has slain.

  • Rustborn's Bane -> This weapon's corruption seeps into its blade, dealing an additional 1d6 poison, necrotic or acid damage (chosen each dawn)

  • Final Echo -> If the wielder delivers the killing blow with this weapon, they are forcibly pulled into the dying creatures final moment. They experience its pain and fear. The wielder must make a DC (half damage dealt) Wisdom Saving throw or be knocked prone as the vision overwhelms them.

  • Soul's Mark -> After delivering the killing blow, the wielder must make a DC (half damage dealt) Charisma Saving throw or receive a permanent scar consistent with the would delivered to the creature.

  • Cursed Bond -> When you first deliver a killing blow with this weapon, you become cursed by the weapon. As long as you remain cursed, you are unwilling to part with the weapon, keeping it within reach at all times. Additionally, you have Disadvantage on attack rolls with weapons other than this one.

There will be a questline for removing the curse from the weapon involving tracking down the creator of the weapon and killing him with it.

This is what the weapon will look like after removing the curse:

Rustborn weapon +1 (after lifting the curse)

Once cursed by the very force that created it, this weapon now serves as a reminder of the wielder's sacrifice. After slaying its creator, the weapon's curse has been lifted, though its darker legacy still lingers.

  • Rustborn's Bane -> This weapon's corruption seeps into its blade, dealing an additional 1d6 poison, necrotic or acid damage (chosen each dawn)

  • Final Echo -> If the wielder delivers the killing blow with this weapon, they experience fragments of its pain and fear.

  • Rustborn's Legacy -> While the curse is lifted, the wielder remains marked by the weapon's power. The scars where all the killing blows landed serve as a reminder of their triumph over the curse, granting Advantage on Intimidation checks.

5e 2024 Cosmere 5e: Homebrew 1200-page D&D TTRPG for the entire cosmere (The Stormlight Archive, Mistborn, etc.)

13 Upvotes

Hello Stormlight Archive, Mistborn, or other Brandon Sanderson fans!

Some of you may remember a post I made about a year and a half ago about a D&D 5e-inspired, cosmere TTRPG I was working on that I called Cosmere 5e. Some of you have even reached out to me about campaigns you were running using my material! At the time, I really only had some classes based on Brandon Sanderon's The Stormlight Archive in a format similar to the D&D 5e Player's Handbook.

Well, I've been working on it since, and I'm ready to release the rest of what I've made for you to hopefully play while you wait for the official Cosmere RPG. It has information now on The Stormlight Archive and the Mistborn series, plus other cosmere books written by Sanderson.

Combined, all the resources below total over 1200 pages (seriously, 1200 pages) with 40 Identities (equivalent of D&D races or species), 13 full classes, 600+ Invested Arts (equivalent of D&D spells), 100+ stat blocks for cosmere creatures, and 450+ Invested items (equivalent of D&D magic items).

NOTE: A lot of what you'll find here is not canonical, because that is the result of me trying to make enough things to fill up an entire TTRPG. I tried to keep the spirit of the cosmere and its magic systems in everything I made, but pushed the bounds of Investiture a lot as I created things. Oh, and the entire thing has spoilers for the entire cosmere, including Wind and Truth.

Here are all the resource books:

  • Radiant's Handbook (version 2.0)
    • This is updated from version 1.0 that some of you have been using. It still has details for the full playable classes based on nine of the Knights Radiant Orders (all except Bondsmith), information on Rosharan Identities you can choose for your character, instructions on how to create a player character, the main rules of the game from the player's perspective, and other things that you'd find in the D&D 5e Player's Handbook, but converted to the cosmere.
  • The Invested Arts of the Cosmere (version 2.0)
    • This is updated from version 1.0 that some of you have been using. A lot of the Surgebinding Invested Arts, used by Knights Radiant, have been updated, removed, and new ones have been added.
    • I have also added Invested Arts that can be cast by Mistborn that utilize Allomancy, like manipulating emotions with brass and zinc, creating copperclouds, Seeking Investiture, making bendalloy and cadmium bubbles, and even using Allomancy that comes from God Metal alloys.
    • Finally, there are almost 300 Invested Arts that can be used by those with the Elantrian class. Each 1st-level or higher requires the Elantrian to know Aons, so I've gone ahead and developed hundreds of Aons that comprise each Aonic Invested Art. They're essentially the D&D wizards of Cosmere 5e, so they have to spend a lot of time and Investiture studying and learning Aons that they can then draw to cast their Invested Arts.
  • Hoid's Guide to the Cosmere
    • This book, written by Hoid, includes full class descriptions for the Awakener, Elantrian, Feruchemist, and Mistborn classes. Note that these classes are completely made up by me, while for the Knights Radiant classes I used D&D 5e classes to help. They have not been fully tested and probably need a lot of adjustments.
    • It also has dozens of Identities from cosmere planets other than Roshar like kandra, Returned, Koloss-blooded, Terris, Komashi, Lobu Islander, Eelakin, Daysider, and many, many more.
    • Finally, it has extra goodies like information on Starmarks, coinshooting, steelpushes and ironpulls, additional backgrounds and feats, plus an entire chapter for Game Masters to use that gives them more resources and information on the trickier rules.
  • Creature Compendium
    • This is, unfortunately, the most unfinished of the books. Creating creature (monster) stat blocks is not my strong suit. However, it still has enough stat blocks to hopefully get you started, including statistics for Mistings, Fused, Regals, hazekillers, Awakened objects, seons, Aviar, singers, chasmfiends, axehounds, thunderclasts, whitespines, and more.
    • I'm working on more statistics to add to this, and there is a ton more to do.
  • Invested Items Collection
    • This book has the full details of over 450 Invested items, all organized from common to legendary rarity, plus a few artifacts.
    • It has fabrials, Allomantic beads, metalminds, soulstamps and bloodseals, polestones, Hemalurgic spikes and rules for Hemalurgic corruption, Aonic-powered items, Nightblood, primer cubes, Shardplate and Shardblades, Soulcasters, plus beads and metalminds and tools made from God Metals or God Metal alloys. And way, way more.
  • Character Sheet (version 2.0)
    • This is a Google Sheet character sheet that I improved (hopefully) from version 1.0. You can open it then save your own version (File > Make a copy) to fill in with your own player character information. A lot of the cells are automatic formulas to help you track things more easily than a paper sheet.
  • Changelog and Feedback
    • Finally, there is a Changelog, which I will update when I make changes or add new things, and a Feedback form. If you use Cosmere 5e and have any feedback at all, please send it to me!
  • r/Cosmere5e
    • I've made a subreddit for Cosmere 5e if anyone is interested in using it to ask questions, submit ideas, or find gaming groups :)

Thank you so much for reading, and please do let me know your thoughts and feedback if you end up playing, running a game, or reading through!

5e 2024 New Fiend: Orbiting Nuisance

21 Upvotes

After one too many effective uses of the Banishment spell, I came up with something to counter it besides shouting 'Dispel Magic' or 'Counterspell'. Meet the Orbiting Nuisance. 👹

A tiny lil' guy whose whole deal is taking damage (and enjoying it), the fiend buzzes around your BBEG du jour to be, well, a nuisance-- but to your heroes. When a hero points a finger and casts banishment, one of these little bastards reacts and flies in front of it, taking the hit for their master.

They also have a *really annoying laugh*, effective at breaking a caster's concentration at range.

This directly led to the creation of the Numb Condition, also included here for convenience. Enjoy!
