Magic Item

The Blindfold of Faith

Description: An indestructible Blindfold that a paladin can wear when their deity thinks that they’re slowly breaking the oath or simply when they want to prove their deity of how much they have faith in them.

Stats: When a paladin put the blindfold on they obtain +5 Wisdom, +1 Dexterity. If the passive perception of the paladin (with the +5 Wisdom) is lower than 15, the +1 Dexterity turns into an +2 Passive Perception.

Abilities:

Blind faith: two times per short rest the paladin can pray and take 4d6 slashing damage, their eyes starts to bleed under the blindfold, but for the next 6 rounds their magic attacks that deal radiant damage and those who their deity gave them, deal an additional 2d6 slashing damage and a bonus 3d4 force damage if the enemy has eyes.

Sacrilege: since the Blindfold is indestructible and sacred, the only way to take it off is if the paladin willingly choose to do so. If the deity thinks that it’s too soon because the paladin didn’t prove completely their faith, the deity can punish them. (Remember that taking off the blindfold obviously makes you lose the stats bonuses, even after proving your faith)

-2 to Wisdom, -1 to the other stats

-5 wisdom, -2 Constitution

-7 Wisdom, -5 Constituion

-7 Wisdom, -7 Constitution, -5 Passive Perception

-7 Wisdom, -7 Constitution, -7 Passive Perception, -2d6 to hit or -2d6 damage dealt to enemies whatever the type (if the damage roll is lower this become -2d4, if lower it does nothing)

-7 Wisdom, -7 Constitution, -7 Passive Perception, -2d6 to hit, -2d6 damage dealt to enemies whatever the type (if the damage roll is lower this become -2d4, if lower it does nothing)

The punishment will be decided by the D(eity)M.

In case the -2d6 damage will make the damage 0 or lower, the damage dealt will be 1 x N, where N is the number of types that the original attack dealt, ex: if the attack normally deals radiant and bludgeoning it’s 1 x 2 = 2)

Inspiration: I played after a long time a paladin on Foundry, but had a problem where I saw everything white, plus the DM for no reason decided that my deity (Tyr) didn’t like me for something that I did (I didn’t do anything but okay), so I said “Hey, it would be cool if my character blinded himself to try to regain Tyr’s approval”. The DM stopped DMing that campaign before I could try that :(

Hazard Idea

Pond of Dancing

Description: A pond of approximately 9x9 meters, the water is slightly darker than it should be. The players can roll for perception (DC 17 if there aren’t any other bodies of water nearby, if there are then -1 for each), creatures that live in the Deep or underground get advantage. The pond can be either empty or have 1d6 number of goblin skeletons inside, dancing.

Functionality: Once a creature enters the pond or walks 3m in it roll a DC 17 Con save, if it fails, the creature starts dancing alongside the creatures already in it, creating a ritualistic choreography. Small and Tiny creatures get disadvantage to the Con save.

All dancing creatures (whether they are still in the pond or got out) are now labelled as “Dancers”. Dancers get 1d8 necrotic damage once they become Dancers and every 2 minutes that they’re still in the Pond. If a Dancer dies, they won’t stop dancing, their skin will erode and become an undead dancing skeleton, still labelled as a Dancer.

Once there are 10 Dancers in the pond, the water will start moving and shaping form of a Water Elemental. The Water Elemental’s stats are the same as a normal Water Elemental except:

CAR: 8(-1) —> 18(+4)

INT: 5(-3)—>12(+1)

+HP: Xd8 (X: n° of Dancers)

Damage Immunity: +Necrotic

Language: +The main one of each Dancer

Charm Person: 3/day

+Chill Touch, +Sapping Sting, +Toll the Dead: 5/day (each)

Dancing General: The Water Elemental can speak a 1-word command to any or all of the Dancers: Attack (attacks the closer enemy of the Water Elemental), Protect (moves in front of the Water Elemental to shield it of any attack), Grapple (lunges itself to grapple the closest opponent or the one the Water Elemental is pointing at), etc etc. This can be used as a reaction 4/day.

Dancers will be in a catatonic state unless ordered to do something by the Water Elemental (like at the first round of combat if they roll a higher initiative than the Water Elemental, or after they killed a creature after the Water Elemental ordered them to attack it). A Dancer with WIS 17 or higher will have disadvantage at all ‘to hit’ rolls, a Dancer attacking a former allied gets their speed halved. (Make your Dancer players role as they attack unwillingly the other players! They’re still semi-conscious).

A Dancer loses its Dancer label once the Water Elemental is defeated, after walking at least 45m away from the pond/Water Elemental or if the Water Elemental says to it “Free” thanks to the Dancing General feat.

Party Idea

Rat

Class: Thief

Race: ?

Description: She’s either a Ratfolk or an Halfling, nobody can tell. Asking it to her will only raise the chances of both getting ignored and robbed. She wears magic sandals that always make noise to challenge herself when stealing, if she takes them off, she becomes so powerful and sneaky that even her shadow stop noticing her.

Converse

Class: Barbarian

Race: Dwarf

Description: She doesn’t speak Common but can understand it. It’s not like she’s too dumb to learn it, she simply never learned and now she doesn’t think it’s that important for her to know how to speak. Everyone in the party seem to always understand what she wants and she’s happy like that because even without speaking her “family” always listen to her.

Wolf

Class: Warlock

Race: Human Werewolf

Description: His tattoo is the symbol of his patron and the origin of his curse, the bandana is a gift from the patron to him, but wearing it too much makes Wolf suffer, forcing him to still having to unleash his wolf form at full power once in a while.

Eyes

Class: Monk

Race: Elf

Description: Being totally blind, they refined all their other senses and are now even able to see the auras of the creatures surrounding them, thanks to their perfect control of Chi. Even if they’re not as powerful as other monks, they are still a valuable party member.

The Captain

Class: Arteficer

Race: Orc

Description: Has a warm and fatherly personality, always laughing with his strangely deep voice. He’s the proud owner and creator of the magnificent Nautilus, a weird-looking but fast vehicle that the party loves using.

Goggles

Class: Wizard

Race: Human

Description: He was the lone wolf of the party, but after Wolf joined he lost the title, now that Wolf is the leader he doesn’t look like the same. Goggles is the one carrying around the Nautilus, stored inside his magic pockets, even if his strength is never enough to take it out by himself and The Captain always steps in to (in his own words) “Not hurt his baby”, talking about the Nautilus.

Silly Character

Race: Mimic

Class: Druid (Circle of The Moon)

Description: A mimic who can turn into animals too. Has learnt Common by living for a bit with human farmers as a cat (to eat the mouses)

Name: Sparklefluffy Whiskertoes

Inspiration: I just wanted a funny first-character for my trans best friend who is in love with shapeshifting

What? A non D&D post? Yeah, cause the safety of my non verbal children comes first babeee

Pet Idea

The Sniler

Description: a Tiny common-looking mouse, except for its pitch black tail and its especially long whiskers.

Functionality: The Sniler can teleport inside small spaces, like pockets, small bags, empty sheaths, loose socks, etc., that are of property of its owner. The Sniler mostly sleeps and eat, but when it’s awake it can do two things by emitting a squeak:

Outside of an encounter: The Sniler squeaks and the owner has advantage on all Nature and Animal Handling checks.

In an encounter: The Sniler squeaks and a d4 is rolled.

The owner of The Sniler gets teleported in a 15ft radius from their starting point of their choosing.

The Sniler grows in size and becomes a Medium Sized. It uses the Giant Rat sheet with the added Action of Teleport (see Blink Dog). Reaching 0 hp makes The Sniler return to its normal form and teleport to an empty pocket of its owner.

The Sniler squeak sounds like a monstrous roar, making any enemy creature in a 30 ft radius frightened of its owner. This effect lasts 1d6 round(s).

The owner of The Sniler turns one size smaller, along with its equipment, and their speed raises by 15ft.

To trigger a squeak the owner needs to feed The Sniler with an 5cm cube of cheese that was previously soaked in beer. The Sniler will engulf the cheese in one bite and proceed to squeak, it’s completely possible that the squeak is actually just a burp.

The Sniler will take only 3 cubes of its delicious cheese before sleeping or refusing any more, accepting it back only after a long rest (of the Sniler).

If the Sniler isn’t offered a cube of special cheese in 3 days it will squeak only outside of battle, hiding from its owner in battle, if it’s not fed a cube of special cheese in 6 days it will disappear with any cheese and beer the party has in a 10ft radius from the owner after a long rest.

Even if the cheese and beer are inside a Bag of Holding.

Feed the Sniler.

The Sniler

Campaign Idea:

Journey (yeah it’s bland, but I preferred a simple one for this)

Plot: A group of friends decide to begin a journey around the world to see things that they only read in books or heard the adventurers talk about: the ocean, seas, mountains, snow, goblins, dragons, etc etc. just to fulfil their curiosity

Tip: Add things that the character believe real like the others but actually are just lies that the adventurers or adults told them and they still believe them. Maybe because they’re a bit gullible (for a barbarian to add a little spice to the simple “barbarian=stupid” thing) or maybe because they actually made a list of all the things they want to see and selected, wrongly, those who they have doubts that exist (wizard), etc etc

Inspiration: From this awesome thread above (thanks to @tolkien-fantasy and @lord-westley)

I love hearing stories of people who have never seen snow or mountains. I personally have never seen the ocean before, I've never even been outside the US, but I still can't imagine life without the mountains outside my window or snow on the ground. I just feel the need to share these things with people who have never seen them, just like I've never seen the ocean. How two members of a single species can live completely different lives is something so special to me

So here's some mountains for those who have never been :)

I can hear Geese outside too haha

Magic Spell (silly)

Cookiefication

Description: The user transform a cat into a cookie

Functionality: Those who dare eat the cookified cat roll a Constitution saving throw, if the result is <20 the sinner loses 1d12 of Max HP forever and scratches appears on their body, every rest they take the scratches change place. If the monster rolls a 20 or higher they regain a conscience and realise how cruel it would be eating a cookie resembling a cute kitten and put it down.

Inspiration: The meme above (thanks to @honeycakelion and @madscience for the reblog)

you WILL look at the cookies wife and I have made

Item Idea

Shoulder Saddle

Description: a leather seat that is attached to the one of the pauldrons of a medium size or + character’s Armor. It can be used by small characters to short rest while the rest of the party moves, to comfortably sit while travelling, to pat your big companion or be patted by your big companion. The benefits for the characters will apply only if their size is the same as the model of the Saddle they bought intended:

5 sp) Medium X Small

2 sp) Medium X Tiny

10 sp) Large X Small

8 sp) Large X Tiny

Bonus! 23 sp) Large X Medium

Bonus! 2 sp) Small X Tiny

Functionality: (Along with the obvious ones like immunity to fall damage for the smaller character or the inability to move during their turns, etc etc)

The Shoulder Saddle gives +1 to the AC of the bigger character, +1 to the smaller character’s perception checks involving sight, +2 charisma to both. Disadvantage with short range attacks and advantage with long ranged attacks to the smaller character, inverted for the bigger character.

Their turns will fuse into one during fights (using the bigger characters DEX for initiative +1), if in a round the big character stays still while the small one attacks with a ranged attack/weapon and it hits, roll 1d6, add that to the total damage AFTER any deduction of any kind that will affect the damage.

To be clear, this additional damage can’t be halved, stopped or in any way modified except if the total damage is cancelled, then it will act accordingly, if the total damage is halved by resistance or modified in another manner, the result of the 1d6 won’t be affected and will be added AFTER these calculations.

Best part of playing a smaller race in DnD is that your party members can give you uppies :3c
