Using This Book
To use this book you will need the three basic rulebooks (Player's Handbook, Monster Manual and Dungeon Master's Guide). Additionally, for a better game experience, it should be used with the Xanathar's Guide to Everything, specially with the downtime rules found in that book.
This is not a core rulebook, but I hope it will provide new ways to enjoy the game with rules for players and DMs to improve the urban and wild environments, to make travels more immersive and for giving more crafting options.
Its been a long way since the very first edition of this supplement (called "Wilderness Survival Guide"), and since that moment I tried to expand, improve and balance the rules you can find here.
Special thanks to all the people from the /r/UnearthedArcana for their amazing feedback, comments, and ideas that helped me to improve this book as much as possible.
ON THE COVER

PART 1
The City
Chapter 1: Equipment and Stores
This chapter is divided in two sections. The first includes new equipment available for players and NPCs, and the second have new guidelines for stores, what items are for sale, and various stores ready to be used in the adventures.
Equipment
In this section you will find new equipment and their properties, equipment from the Dungeon Master's Guide and some content from the other official books. All of these are included in the stores presented in the second section.
Shields
If you want more variants for the shields, you can introduce the two following options.
Buckler. This small metal shield is worn strapped to the forearm. You can wield a weapon in the same hand of the buckler, but you have a -1 penalty on attack rolls with the weapon in that hand.
Tower shield. A massive shield nearly as tall as a human. It provides the indicated bonus to your AC, and you can spend an action to use it as total cover until you make another action. The shield does not provide cover against targeted spells, and you can't use your shield hand for anything else. Due its weight, your speed is reduced by 10 feet. If you are also wearing heavy armor, you have a -2 on attack rolls.
Adventuring Gear
This section describes items that have special rules or require further explanation.
Alchemical ammunition. Each of these projectiles carries a load of some alchemical essence in its hollow shaft (the sling bullets are hollow glass bullets filled with the alchemical essence). When it hits a target, the projectile's shaft shatters, releasing the alchemical essence directly onto the target. When you hit a creature with an alchemical ammunition, you deal an extra 1d4 damage. The damage type depends on the type of the ammunition.
When you hit a fiend or undead creature with a holy ammunition deals an extra 1d6 radiant damage instead.
Barbed wire. This is a roll of barbed steel wire designed to keep things in or out. A creature trying to cross barbed wire must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 10) or take 1d4 piercing damage and be restrained by the wire. A creature restrained by the barbed wire can use its action to make a Strength or Dexterity check (its choice) against the DC. On a success, it frees itself, on a failure, it takes 1d4 piercing damage. For setting up the barbed wire, it comes with a pair of thick gloves and anchor posts.
Dictionary. Inside this book you have the list of words and translations from one standard language to common. When you're reading something in the dictionary's language, you can spend 10 minutes for each page of text to translate it.
Money belt. This cloth pouch is designed to be worn under clothing and can hold up to 50 coins. Any Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to steal the coins inside of the pouch is made with disadvantage.
Nutrients. A creature that drinks this vial of liquid gains a number of temporary hit points for 1 hour. The number of temporary hit points depends on the Nutrient's quality, as shown in the Nutrients table. If you want to use another nutrient, you must wait until the effect of the previous one ends first.
Nutrients
Quality | Temporary Hit Points |
---|---|
Normal | 1d4 + 4 |
Greater | 1d4 + 9 |
Superior | 1d4 + 14 |
Supreme | 1d4 + 19 |
Portal scroll. Using an action to read the scroll allows the reader to teleport to the linked permanent teleportation circle. You must be on the same plane of existence as the teleportation circle. The scroll is consumed and you instantly appears within 5 feet of the destination circle or in the nearest unoccupied space if that space is occupied. In general, the portal scroll contains a brief description of where the teleportation circle is located (city, location) and if it's owned by a faction or an organization.
Purification kit. This kit is a leather pouch containing herbs and liquids. The kit has ten uses. As an action, you can expend one use of the kit to purify one pound of food or one gallon of drink, removing any poison and diseases.

Poisons (DMG)
Given their insidious and deadly nature, poisons are illegal in most societies but are a favorite tool among assassins and evil creatures such as drow.
Poisons come in the following four types.
Contact. Contact poison can be smeared on an object and remains potent until it is touched or washed off. A creature that touches contact poison with exposed skin suffers its effects.
Ingested. A creature must swallow an entire dose of ingested poison to suffer its effects. The dose can be delivered in food or a liquid. You may decide that a partial dose has a reduced effect, such as allowing advantage on the saving throw or dealing only half damage on a failed save.
Inhaled. These poisons are powders or gases that take effect when inhaled. Blowing the powder or releasing the gas subjects creatures in a 5-foot cube to its effect. The resulting cloud dissipates immediately afterward. Holding one's breath is ineffective against inhaled poisons, as they affect nasal membranes, tear ducts, and other parts of the body.
Injury. Injury poison can be applied to Weapons, ammunition, trap Components, and other Objects that deal piercing or slashing damage and remains potent until delivered through a wound or washed off. A creature that takes piercing or slashing damage from an object coated with the poison is exposed to its effects.
Sample Poisons
    Assassin’s Blood (Ingested). A creature subjected to this poison must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes 6 (1d12) poison damage and is poisoned for 24 hours. On a successful save, the creature takes half damage and isn't poisoned.
Burnt Othur Fumes (Inhaled). A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or take 10 (3d6) poison damage, and must repeat the saving throw at the start of each of its turns. On each successive failed save, the character takes 3 (1d6) poison damage. After three successful saves, the poison ends.
Crawler Mucus (Contact). This poison must be harvested from a dead or Incapacitated crawler. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. The poisoned creature is Paralyzed. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success.
Drow Poison (Injury). This poison is typically made only by the drow, and only in a place far removed from sunlight. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 hour. If the saving throw fails by 5 or more, the creature is also Unconscious while poisoned in this way. The creature wakes up if it takes damage or if another creature takes an action to shake it awake.
Essence of Ether (Inhaled). A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 8 hours. The poisoned creature is Unconscious. The creature wakes up if it takes damage or if another creature takes an action to shake it awake.
Malice (Inhaled). A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 hour. The poisoned creature is Blinded.
Midnight Tears (Ingested). A creature that ingests this poison suffers no effect until the stroke of midnight. If the poison has not been neutralized before then, the creature must succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw, taking 31 (9d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Oil of Taggit (Contact). A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 13 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 24 hours. The poisoned creature is Unconscious. The creature wakes up if it takes damage.
Pale Tincture (Ingested). A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 16 Constitution saving throw or take 3 (1d6) poison damage and become poisoned. The poisoned creature must repeat the saving throw every 24 hours, taking 3 (1d6) poison damage on a failed save. Until this poison ends, the damage the poison deals can’t be healed by any means. After seven successful Saving Throws, the effect ends and the creature can heal normally.
Purple Worm Poison (Injury). This poison must be harvested from a dead or Incapacitated Purple Worm. A creature subjected to this poison must make a DC 19 Constitution saving throw, taking 42 (12d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Serpent Venom (Injury). This poison must be harvested from a dead or Incapacitated Giant Poisonous Snake. A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw, taking 10 (3d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Torpor (Ingested). A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 4d6 hours. The poisoned creature is Incapacitated.
Truth Serum (Ingested). A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a DC 11 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 hour. The poisoned creature can’t knowingly speak a lie, as if under the effect of a Zone of Truth spell.
Wyvern Poison (Injury). This poison must be harvested from a dead or Incapacitated Wyvern. A creature subjected to this poison must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw, taking 24 (7d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.
Firearms and Explosives (DMG)
If you want to model the swashbuckling style of The Three Musketeers and similar tales, you can introduce gunpowder weapons to your campaign that are associated with the Renaissance.
It's up to the DM to decide whether a character has proficiency with a firearm. Characters in most D&D worlds wouldn't have such proficiency. During their downtime, characters can use the training rules in the Player's Handbook to acquire proficiency, assuming that they have enough ammunition to keep the weapons working while mastering their use.
Explosives
A campaign might include explosives from the Renaissance world.
Bomb. As an action, a character can light this bomb and throw it at a point up to 60 feet away. Each creature within 5 feet of that point must succeed on a DC 12 Dexterity saving throw or take 3d6 fire damage.
Gunpowder. Gunpowder is chiefly used to propel a bullet out of the barrel of a pistol or musket, or it is formed into a bomb. Gunpowder is sold in small wooden kegs and in water-resistant powder horns.
Setting fire to a container full of gunpowder can cause it to explode, dealing fire damage to creatures within 10 feet of it (3d6 for a powder horn, 7d6 for a keg). A successful DC 12 Dexterity saving throw halves the damage. Setting fire to an ounce of gunpowder causes it to flare for 1 round, shedding bright light in a 30-foot radius and dim light for an additional 30 feet.
Firearms and D&D
Not every game or setting allows the use firearms or explosives. Check with your DM first to see if they're available in your current campaign or adventure.
Special Coatings
In some cases, the adventurers might be able to coat or craft weapons using other materials in order to give new properties to their equipment. Due the complexity and expertise required, this service is generally available only on premium stores.
Adamantine Weapons (XGTE)
Adamantine is an ultrahard metal found in meteorites and extraordinary mineral veins. In addition to being used to craft adamantine armor, the metal is also used for weapons.
Melee weapons and ammunition made of or coated with adamantine are unusually effective when used to break objects. Whenever an adamantine weapon or piece of ammunition hits an object, the hit is a critical hit.
The adamantine version of a melee weapon or ten pieces of ammunition costs 500 gp more than the normal version, whether the weapon or ammunition is made of the metal or coated with it.
Silvered Weapons (PHB)
Some Monsters that have immunity or Resistance to nonmagical Weapons are susceptible to silver Weapons, so cautious adventurers invest extra coin to plate their Weapons with silver. You can silver a single weapon or ten pieces of Ammunition for 100 gp. This cost represents not only the price of the silver, but the time and expertise needed to add silver to the weapon without making it less effective.

Stores and Buildings
This section have several lists of buildings or stores that can be used by DMs during the adventures as a quick guideline of what items or services are for sale in a particular place.
Each store is divided by type, which determines the items the store have.
Small
Small stores are mostly vendor carts, traveling merchants, and so on. A small store have a very limited amount of each item for sale.
Basic
A basic store represents shops and merchant posts found in rural settlements and small towns. A basic store have only items that are daily used by the townsfolk and people nearby.
Urban
An urban store represents the most common shops. These stores can be found in towns and cities alike, the store have an average stock of common items, and sometimes it can have a limited stock of a few rarer items.
Item Availability and Restocking
Even though the tables below allows DMs to randomly determine the number of each item a store have, it's up to the DM to decide if a particular item is currently available in the store.
As a general rule, the restocking occurs every week, but this could take longer for rural, travelling merchants or distant stores.
Selling Spell Components
Some stores might have spell components for sale. Still, not every store have the components for all spells. In order to simplify this, the store type determines the maximum level of spells, as shown below.
- A small store can sell components for 1st level spells.
- A basic store can sell components for 3rd level spells or lower.
- An urban store can sell components for 5th level spells or lower.
- A premium store can sell components for any spell.
The stock per store type determines the number of spell components available for each spell level. For example, a basic store can sell components for up to 1d4 x 2 spells of 3rd level or lower.
Variant Rule: Available Gold
Even though adventures might have several items that merchants might be interested in buying, these individuals doesn't necessarily have the money to pay for everything. Here are some estimates for each store type you can use to determine if a merchant have enough money for paying and buying everything the players are willing to sell.
Store Type | Available Gold |
---|---|
Small | 100 gp |
Basic | 200 gp |
Urban | 5,000 gp |
Premium | 10,000 gp |
Stores by type
In the following pages you will find several tables organized by types of items, allowing DMs and players to quickly check what kind of products the adventurers can find in a store.
These tables also have columns with an estimated stock of each item per store type, which can help DMs to determine the amount of products a store have and what kind of store commonly have those items.

Chapter 2: Modular Structures
In the Dungeon Master's Guide you can find some rules for building a stronghold, but those rules doesn't allow many customization options. The following rules gives characters and DMs alike new options for building a completely new structure and for customizing it with several rooms and areas. This section was inspired on the 3rd edition book called Stronghold Builder's Guidebook, and it will work great with the content from the Xantathar's Guide to Everything related to the artisan tools options and the new downtime activities.
Building a Structure
A character can spend time between adventures building a structure. Before work can begin, the character must acquire a plot of land. If the estate lies within a kingdom or similar domain, the character will need a royal charter (a legal document granting permission to oversee the estate in the name of the crown), a land grant (a legal document bequeathing custody of the land to the character for as long as he or she remains loyal to the crown), or a deed (a legal document that serves as proof of ownership). Land can also be acquired by inheritance or other means.
Royal charters and land grants are usually given by the crown as a reward for faithful service, although they can also be bought. Deeds can be bought or inherited. A small estate might sell for as little as 100 gp or mas much as 1,000 gp. A large estate might cost 5,000 gp or more, if it can be bought at all.
Building Space (BS)
When buying a plot of land, you need to make sure its large enough to fit all the rooms and components you want to build, but since structures aren't always the same, the building spaces is the way to estimate every structure size and how much the plot of land will cost. Each building space is equivalent to a 20-foot-by-20-foot room with a 10-foot-high ceiling. One building space cost 100 gp.
Structure Components
After determining the size of your building, you can use all building spaces to add rooms and other areas to your structure. Each component uses one or more building spaces, and you cannot exceed the building spaces the plot of land have.
Each structure assume you're constructing a building with no more than two stories and no more than a single underground level. If you want to add more, you need to pay an extra 1,000 gp for each additional floor you want to add to your structure.
Building Time
Building a structure takes one workweek per 10,000 gp of the total price (2,000 gp per day). This can consider that the structure is already built and the characters just need to move in and buy all the room components.
If you think it's too fast, feel free to lower the gold pieces per day to make the building time longer.
Sample Structures
In this table you can find the structures found in the Dungeon Master's Guide, a few others, and an estimated of the building spaces they should have.

Walls
Sometimes, builders construct walls after the structure is already in place, whether to guard against unwanted visitors or simply to add privacy. The wall sections are assumed to be 10 feet tall and 20 feet wide each. For towers, you can place a guard post above the walls and add a siege equipment, such as a ballista or a trebuchet.
The cost for walls will depend on the material you use, and each material have its own statistics regarding hit points, AC and damage threshold, as shown in the table below. When a wall section reaches 0 hit points, it is destroyed. You can read more about siege equipment, materials and damage threshold in the Chapter 8 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.
Material | AC | Hit Points | Damage Threshold | Cost per Section |
---|---|---|---|---|
Adamantine | 23 | 50 | 20 | 10,000 gp |
Iron | 19 | 30 | 10 | 4,000 gp |
Mithral | 21 | 40 | 15 | 6,000 gp |
Stone | 17 | 20 | 8 | 2,500 gp |
Wood, bone | 15 | 15 | 5 | 1,000 gp |
To calculate the amount of gold pieces it will cost to enclosure the whole structure, multiply the structure size in building spaces by the material cost per section, considering only the building spaces that are in the same level as the wall.
For example, a group wants to build a wall around their mansion. The structure have 8 building spaces in the first floor and 4 building spaces in the second floor. In this case, the characters decide to build a stone wall, so they need to spend a total of 20,000 gold pieces to enclosure the mansion (8 x 2,500 gp).
Siege Equipment Cost
There is a list of siege weapons and its statistics in the page 255 of the Dungeon Master's Guide. Here are the estimated prices and building time for each siege weapon for building and adding them to the walls and towers of your structure.
Item | Cost | Building Time |
---|---|---|
Ballista | 1,000 gp | 2 workweeks |
    Ballista bolt | 10 gp | 1 day |
Cannon | 2,000 gp | 3 workweeks |
    Cannon ball | 20 gp | 1 day |
Cauldron, suspended | 1,000 gp | 2 workweeks |
    Cauldron oil | 10 gp | 1 day |
Mangonel | 1,500 gp | 2 workweeks |
    Mangonel stone | 15 gp | 1 day |
Ram | 1,000 gp | 2 workweeks |
Siege Tower | 3,000 gp | 4 workweeks |
Trebuchet | 3,000 gp | 4 workweeks |
    Trebuchet stone | 30 gp | 1 day |
Chapter 3: Guilds
Entering a guild
This system uses a reputation system which determines your rank on the guild. In most of the cases, the adventurers must gain a number of reputation points by completing contracts given by the guild to be considered as members of the guild.
When a character gets the amount of reputation points required for the first rank, they can decide to join the guild. Additionally, characters cannot gain more points than the required for the next level until they are promoted.
In the following table you can see a basic rank list and the reputation points a character needs to achieve each rank.
Guild Ranks
Rank | Rank Level | Required Rep. Points |
---|---|---|
Grandmaster/Grandmistress | 6 | 2,000 |
Master/Mistress | 5 | 1,000 |
Expert | 4 | 500 |
Adept | 3 | 200 |
Journeyman | 2 | 100 |
Apprentice | 1 | 50 |
If needed, you can modify the rank names or the points required to achieve each rank (you can double the reputation points needed for each rank to create an elite guild).
Other Requirements
Some guilds might have additional requisites to enter, such as being able to cast spells, paying an entry fee, or complete a special task to determine if you are able to enter the guild.
Guild Membership
When you reach the first rank of the guild, you must pay dues of 5 gp per month to the guild. If you miss payments, you must make up back dues to remain in the guild's good graces and maintain your rank benefits.
Reputation Points
Every guild rank is determined by an amount of reputation points. These points are earned by finishing contracts and bounties. Gaining reputation allows you to increase your rank in the guild and get some rewards, which are described later on this guide.
Contracts
Most of the guild works are contracts that involve some quests or missions, which includes a location, some basic information of the quest and obviously, a reward. The reputation points earned by finishing a contract are determined by the DM.
Bounties
Bounties, also known as "hunt orders" are special guild missions that allow guild members to collect reputation points to gain ranks on the guild for killing certain creatures. Bounties have 3 parts: the creature for the hunt, the number of days the bounty will be active and the reward: reputation points and coin. The number of reputation points depends on the challenge rating of the killed creature, as shown in the table below.
CR | Reputation Points |
---|---|
0 - 1/2 | 1 |
1 | 2 |
2 | 4 |
3 | 7 |
4 | 11 |
5 | 18 |
6 | 23 |
7 | 29 |
8 | 39 |
9 | 50 |
10 | 59 |
11 | 72 |
12 | 84 |
13 | 100 |
14 | 115 |
15 | 130 |
CR | Reputation Points |
---|---|
16 | 150 |
17 | 180 |
18 | 200 |
19 | 220 |
20 | 250 |
21 | 330 |
22 | 410 |
23 | 500 |
24 | 620 |
25 | 750 |
26 | 900 |
27 | 1,050 |
28 | 1,200 |
29 | 1,350 |
30 | 1,550 |
It's up to the DM to determine if the players need to collect parts of the creatures to prove they killed the creatures. Another option is to make the bounty magical, so the guild knows exactly how many creatures they've killed.
Example Bounty: Ankheg Bounty
In the last days, the number of ankhegs wandering near the town has greatly increased, making the farms outside the town a dangerous place, and the local adventurers’ guild created a hunt order to reduce the number of those creatures. The bounty will be active for only 3 days, and they must bring the ankheg mandibles to the guildhall to prove they killed them. For each ankheg mandible the adventurers bring, they will be rewarded with 4 reputation points and the guild will pay them 4 gold pieces and 5 silver pieces.
Rank Benefits
Gaining ranks on a guild gives the players a series of benefits, such as better paid and challenging contracts, information and equipment. In the table below you can find some examples of rank rewards.
Benefit | Rank Needed |
---|---|
Contracts, basic | Apprentice |
Healing and care | Apprentice |
Information, basic | Apprentice |
Lodging and food (modest) | Apprentice |
Messaging, basic | Apprentice |
Training | Apprentice |
Crafting Workshop | Journeyman |
Equipment, basic | Journeyman |
Contracts, advanced | Adept |
Equipment, advanced | Adept |
Information, advanced | Adept |
Lodging and food (comfortable) | Adept |
Equipment, magical | Expert |
Information, exclusive | Expert |
Local Guildhall | Master/Mistress |
Lodging and food (wealthy) | Master/Mistress |
Own the guild | Grandmaster/Grandmistress |
Contracts, basic. These contracts includes simple tasks.
Contracts, advanced. This contracts can include more long-term and challenging quests. These contracts should have a better pay or give more reputation than basic contracts.
You can read more about the contract types and rewards later in this document.
Crafting Workshop. You are able to use the workshops in the guildhalls, where you can find one or more artisan's tools at your disposal for crafting. The number and type of artisan's tools are determined by the DM (if any).
Equipment, basic. This includes simple weapons, light armors and basic equipment (like rations and torches). You can also ask for horses for temporary use.
Equipment, advanced. This includes martial weapons, medium and heavy armors, probably some artisan tools and specialized adventuring kits. This also includes other services, such using one of the guild coach cabs or a ship passage to a near city.
Equipment, magical. This includes some potions, a few spell scrolls, and a few magical items. It can include some spellcasting services. Since magical items and services are rarer, it's up to the DM to determine if the characters must pay for using the magical items or for each time they want to use some of the guild spellcasting services.
Spellcasting Costs
If you decide the players must pay for the spellcasting services they can find on their guild, here's a formula to determine how much it will cost each spell.
Square of the spell level multiplied by 10 gp plus double of the consumed material cost plus 10% of nonconsumed material cost.
For example, after finishing a contract, the group of adventurers have found an unknown magical item, and since they don't have the spells to identify their properties, they decide to use their guild rank and ask to a guild wizard to cast the Identify spell on the object. Since it's a 1st level spell and it requires a pearl worth at least 100 gp, the total cost would be 20 gp (10 gp + 10 gp for the pearl)
   Healing and care. You can be healed in the guildhalls owned by your guild. Once per day, you can roll a number of dices equal to your rank level to recover your health. The dice is determined by the character's class hit dice.
Information, basic. You get one piece of useful lore about the contract or bounty you're doing.
Information, advanced. You get two pieces of useful lore about the contract or quest you're doing.
Information, exclusive. You get three pieces of useful lore about anything you're looking for. The DM determines the type of information you get from the guild.
Pieces of Useful Lore
Each piece of useful lore is the equivalent of one true statement about a person, place, or thing. Examples include knowledge of a creature’s resistances, the password needed to enter a sealed dungeon level, the spells commonly prepared by an order of wizards, and so on.
For a monster or an NPC, you can reveal elements of stats or personality. For a place, you can reveal secrets about it, such as a hidden entrance, the answer to a riddle, or the nature of a creature that guards the place.
   Local guildhall. You are rewarded with owning and leading a local guildhall in a city or town.
Lodging and food. If you want, you can live in a local guildhall (your lifestyle expenses are covered by your membership).
Messaging. You can use some of the guild messengers to deliver cards and small objects to another city or town.
Training. You can learn a new language or training in a set of tools with a guild member. The prize or time is reduced by half (player's choice).
DM Note: Promoting Characters
Iit's up to the DM to determine if there are extra conditions to achieve each rank, such as a special quest or a minimum of finished advanced contracts to avoid farming reputation points (and eventually getting higher ranks doing low-level contracts).
Another way to avoid this is by creating only a few contracts and bounties (such as 1d4 contracts every 7 days).
Additionally, as a general rule, the Master/Mistress and Grandmaster/Grandmistress ranks are only obtainable under specific circumstances (such as when the guild gets a new guildhall and they need a new Master/Mistress to lead it or when the current Grandmaster dies).
Creating a Guild
When creating a guild, you must decide the type or business of the guild. You can choose one from the table below or roll it randomly. Additionally, if you're creating a bigger guild, you can choose or roll again to get more specializations. In general, a guild should have between 1 to 3 specializations.
d6 | Guild Type |
---|---|
1 | Adventurers |
2 | Arcane |
3 | Artisans |
4 | Criminal |
5 | Religious |
6 | Scholastic |
Equipment Availability
You can requisition items for temporary use when doing contracts and tasks for the guild. The amount of equipment you can borrow is determined by the total gp of the items and it depends on your guild rank, as shown in the table below.

Grandmaster/Grandmistress | 1,500 gp |
Master/Mistress | 1,000 gp |
Expert | 600 gp |

These contracts also involves protecting someone, such as being the bodyguards of a noble in a diplomatic mission, and guard an object, such as defending an ancient magical tome and preventing of being destroyed.
d4 | The Mission |
---|---|
1 | Escort someone from one point to another |
2 | Defend a place or location |
3 | Protect an individual |
4 | Guard an object |
Raid
These contracts involve breaking, entering and cleaning a place, such as entering into an ancient temple, disable all the traps and slaying all creatures (so the archeologists can enter without danger) or raiding a bandit camp, destroying or stealing all their supplies.
These contracts also involves disabling particular objects, such as destroying the siege weapons before they reach the city, assaulting a caravan, blocking trade routes and disabling routes to a location.
d6 | The Mission |
---|---|
1 | Attack a location |
2 | Destroy a nearby camp |
3 | Steal supplies |
4 | Disable potential dangers |
5 | Blocking trade routes |
6 | Disabling an entrance |
Resource Gathering
These contracts involve collecting materials or any resource needed for further uses, such as collecting a particular herb for creating a medicine to heal someone, mine some materials for creating special weapons and equipment and even buying materials from a remote place and transport it to a specific location.
d4 | The Mission |
---|---|
1 | Gather herbs and plants |
2 | Collect a specific mineral |
3 | Harvest a creature part |
4 | Buy or trade a resource |
Collecting Materials Rules
In the part 3 of this supplement you can find simple rules for harvesting parts from creatures, gathering plants and collecting other materials.
Additional Conditions
If you want to give a twist to the contracts, you can add one or more of the following conditions:
Stealthily. You cannot be detected or raise the alarm while you are doing the contract.
No Kills. You cannot kill while doing the contract.
Specific Time and Place. You need to complete the task contract in a specific day or moment. For example, you must assassinate an individual when it's talking in front of a crowd of people in the town square.
Against Time. You have a limited time to do the contract. For example, another group is going to do the same contract at the same time, and the first group that finishes the contract gets the reward.
Local Resources. You can only use resources you can find in the location of your contract.
Limited Resources. You can only use some of your equipment. For example, you need to enter a party for gathering information, but you cannot enter with armor or weapons (but perhaps you can hide a dagger in your clothes).
Location
After you have determined the contract type, you need to determine the location where the characters must go to complete the contract. Here you can find a table for general locations and a table for a specific location. You can use one or both tables to determine the location when needed.

Contract Rewards
Finally, you need to determine what kind of rewards the characters will get after successfully finishing the contract. In general, the contract will reward with gold and reputation points for the guild.

Other Rewards
A guild can give additional rewards to characters for finishing contracts, such as free training in one particular tool, information about something in particular, objects and magic items.
PART 2
The Wild
Chapter 4: Surviving in the Wild
In the wild, it’s obvious that manmade structures do not appear whenever characters are in need of shelter and warmth. While adventurers can plan a route through the wild to arrive places for rest and avoid having to camp in the wild, this only happens a few times, and characters can only have a shelter if they are able to fashion some kind of structure from the available natural materials or if they take the necessary gear along with them.
Basic Needs
While traveling through the wild, creatures and characters must have enough amounts of food and water to survive and protection against precipitation, wind, cold and heat.
Food and Water
Creatures that don't eat or drink suffers the effects of exhaustion. Exhaustion caused by lack of food or water can't be removed until the creature eats and drinks the full required amount. Water needs are doubled if the weather is hot.
Food and Water Needs
Creature Size | Food per Day | Water per Day |
---|---|---|
Tiny | 1/4 pound | 1/4 gallon |
Small | 1 pound | 1 gallon |
Medium | 1 pound | 1 gallon |
Large | 4 pounds | 4 gallons |
Huge | 16 pounds | 16 gallons |
Gargantuan | 64 pounds | 64 gallons |
- A creature and can make food last longer by subsisting on half rations. Eating half a pound of food in a day counts as half a day without food.
- A creature can go without food for a number of days equal to 3 + his or her Constitution modifier (minimum 1). At the end of each day beyond that limit, a creature automatically suffers one level of exhaustion. A normal day of eating resets the count of days without food to zero.
- A creature that drinks only half that much water must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or suffer one level of exhaustion at the end of the day. A creature with access to even less water automatically suffers one level of exhaustion at the end of the day. If the creature already has one or more levels of exhaustion, the creature takes two levels in either case.
Foraging (DMG, P.111)
Characters can gather food and water as the party travels at a normal or slow pace. A foraging character makes a Wisdom (Survival) check, with the DC determined by the abundance of food and water in the region.
Foraging
Food and Water Availability | DC |
---|---|
Abundant food and water sources | 10 |
Limited food and water sources | 15 |
Very little, if any, food and water sources | 20 |
If multiple characters forage, each character makes a separate check. On a Successful check, roll 1d6 + the character's Wisdom modifier to determine how much food (in pounds) the character finds, then repeat the roll for water (in gallons).
Getting Meat (Foraging Variant)
While the characters can forage to survive on the wilderness, they also can hunt down and kill a creature to harvest the meat and use it as food. The meat they yield spoils after a single day if uneaten. Eating spoiled meat might require a Constitution saving throw (DC 15) to avoid throwing up the food or getting diseased.
A character can make a Wisdom (Survival) check to try to collect meat as food. The DC for the check is typically 15, but it’s up to the DM to modify the DC. The amount of meat harvested is determined by the creature size, as shown in the Creature Food Yield table below.
Getting meat does not count on the maximum harvest checks you can make to harvest a creature, but doing so might destroy other parts such as the creature hide and organs.
Creature Food Yield
Creature Size | Food Gained |
---|---|
Tiny | 1 lb. |
Small | 4 lb. |
Medium | 16 lb. |
Large | 32 lb. |
Huge | 64 lb. |
Gargantuan | 128 lb. |
Drinking Blood
While characters can also collect blood in vials as resources, in other cases, the extreme need of water can drive someone to harvest a creature's blood and drink it to stay alive. When a character makes a Wisdom (Survival) check to collect meat as food, it can also collect a number of gallons of blood equal to half the amount of meat. A character drinking blood must make a Constitution saving throw (DC 15) to avoid vomiting.
Cooking and Purifying
Even though a character can eat meat or drink blood from any creature for nourishment, some of them can be poisonous, be diseased or cause other special effects to the character if its not prepared or cooked correctly.
Warmth
Some terrains require special gear or shelter that helps characters to maintain its personal temperature. Walking in the arctic, through a desert or even during heavy rain may force creature to find shelter or suffer the consequences. Up to the DM, if creatures are not properly protected, they must make a saving throw against extreme cold or extreme heat at the end of the day, which are described in the chapter 5 of the Dungeon Master's Guide.
Camping
Characters can carry a tent to protect themselves against wind and rain, but sometimes they don't have access to that kind of gear, and in those situations they can try to find a natural shelter or build one using materials they can gather. Natural shelters are divided in two types: basic and advanced.
Basic Shelter. Almost every natural shelter found in the wild is considered as a basic shelter. This shelter has enough space for 4 medium-sized creatures, and in general they're constructed from many small pieces of vegetation. Due to its simple design, a basic shelter protects against wind or precipitation (determined by the DM).
Advanced Shelter. An advanced shelter have space for 6 medium-sized creatures or more and protects everyone inside against the wind, rain, snow and other environmental features. Additionally, an advanced shelter helps to maintain the personal temperature and in some cases it also provides some defenses against wild creatures.
Natural Shelters
Terrain and time are the mayor factors that determines the chance for adventurers to be able to locate a natural shelter or construct something out of materials they find the zone.
Arctic zones has no useful vegetation that adventurers can use for shelter, but they can find crevasses and make improvised snow walls that can provide some protection.
Desert zones has no vegetation that adventurers can use, but they can run across irregularities in the surface, such as large rocks and some dunes that can provide shelter on at least one side.
Forest zones are one of the easiest terrains to find natural shelter. Trees and large plants can give adventurers some protection from wind and rain. In a forest, boughs or branches can be cut from trees and laid across a grid of poles to give characters a roof over their heads and protection from wind.
Hills are full of irregular terrain that can serve as a simple windbreak. Additionally, thick vegetation is fairly abundant during most of the year, allowing adventurers to fashion a windbreak out of it.
Mountains, for this purpose, are considered to be rough, rocky areas with little or no vegetation. However, adventurers can come across some natural features, such as caves and alcoves that are large enough for the group.
Plains are generally flat, but not necessarily featureless. A small gully might help adventurers to get out of the wind. Additionally, if a plain has some vegetation, characters may be able to gather enough branches and greenery for a windbreak.
Swamps commonly have vegetation that can be scavenged and used as shelter, and characters can come across a fallen tree or similar feature that can help as a shelter.
Finding Natural Shelter
Characters can make a Wisdom (Survival) check to try to find a natural shelter in the area. Depending on the terrain, the difficulty and time to find an appropriate shelter varies, as shown in the following table.
Terrain | DC | Time Needed |
---|---|---|
Arctic | 25 | 30 minutes |
Desert | 25 | 30 minutes |
Forest | 10 | 10 minutes |
Hills | 10 | 10 minutes |
Mountains | 20 | 20 minutes |
Plains | 20 | 20 minutes |
Swamps | 15 | 15 minutes |
In general, this check should be made whenever characters are looking for shelter. On a successful check, they find a basic shelter, or an advanced shelter if the check succeeds by 5 or more. On a failure, they can make a new check after 10 minutes if they keep moving.
Additional Conditions
You can increase the DC and time depending on some special conditions, such as looking for a shelter in the night or while it's raining.
- Rain, fog and low visibility areas. Increase the DC by 3 and add half the base time.
- Storm, snowfall and no visibility areas. Increase the DC by 5 and it takes twice the base time.
It’s up to the DM to determine the properties of the shelter they find. For example, A large rock can be used as a basic shelter because it protects against the wind, but it doesn't protect against rain or snow, while a cave in the face of a mountain can be considered an advanced shelter, because it protects against wind, rain and snow.
Upgrading a Shelter
While characters can look for natural shelter, they can also gather materials and upgrade a basic shelter into an advanced shelter or add extra features, such as a palisade wall or other defensive measures.
Collecting Materials
A character can gather materials by making an Wisdom (Survival) check or a Strength (Athletics) check. Use the table under the Finding Natural Shelter part to determine the DC and time used for collecting materials. During this activity, the character gather branches and vegetation that is lying in the area, cut down a tree to collect wood or mine a big rock to collect stones.
   On a success, it collects a number of units equal to 2d6 + its Constitution modifier. A character can make a number of checks per day equal to twice its Constitution modifier (minimum 1).
Upgrading
For upgrading a shelter, the character must use a number of units of materials depending on which feature they want, as shown in the table below. Multiple characters can combine their efforts toward the upgrading of the shelter, reducing the time by ten times its Constitution modifier for each character working on the upgrade to a minimum of 10 minutes. For example, a character with a Constitution modifier of +2 will reduce the time it takes to finish a shelter feature by 20 minutes.
Upgrading a Shelter
Feature | Units Required | Time |
---|---|---|
Advanced shelter upgrade | 15 | 4 hours |
Basic wall | 6 | 1 hour |
Platform | 10 | 2 hours |
Spike barrier | 5 | 30 minutes |
Stone wall | 10 | 4 hours |
Advanced Shelter Upgrade. Upgrading a basic shelter into an advanced shelter includes a door, simple roofing and walls made from various pieces of thatch, wood, stone or similar. Upgrading a shelter allows up to 6 medium-sized creatures to enter and protect themselves.
   Basic Wall. This 15-feet long, 6 feet tall fence or wall is made from wooden stakes, tree trunks, adobe or even bones, and it’s used as a defensive structure or enclosure. Each 5 feet of wall has an AC 15, 15 hit points and a damage threshold of 5.
Platform. This 10-foot square wooden platform is attached on a large tree, or raised on piles over the soil, enabling to build on it. The platform can be built up to 10 feet high and includes a simple wooden staircase to access the platform.
Spike barrier. A 10-feet long barrier with many wooden or bone spikes. The area covered by the barrier is considered difficult terrain. Any creature that moves through the spike wall must make a Dexterity saving throw (DC 10) or take 1d4 piercing damage. The barrier has an AC 15, 15 hit points and a damage threshold of 5.
Stone Wall. A stone wall is a 15-feet long, 6 feet tall wall made from brick-and-mortar, used as a defensive structure or enclosure. Each 5 feet of wall has an AC 17, 30 hit points and a damage threshold of 10.
Some of this upgrades might not available to build in certain terrains due the type of materials needed. For example, a spike barrier might be hard to craft in a desert since it requires wood or large bones.
Additional Features
While the upgrading features covers the most basic and generic ones, you can also create new ones, such as a clay oven, wooden furniture and such for creating a survival-themed campaign.
Chapter 5: Dangers of the Wild
Environmental Hazards
In this section you can find new environmental hazards, which follows similar rules as traps or lair actions. To determine the DC and damage, use the following tables.
Hazards Save DCs and Attack Bonuses
Hazard Danger Level | Save DC |
---|---|
Setback | 10-11 |
Dangerous | 12-15 |
Deadly | 16-20 |
Damage Severity by Level
Character Level | Setback | Dangerous | Deadly |
---|---|---|---|
1st-4th | 1d10 | 2d10 | 4d10 |
5th-10th | 2d10 | 4d10 | 10d10 |
11th-16th | 4d10 | 10d10 | 18d10 |
17th-20th | 10d10 | 18d10 | 24d10 |
Hazard Examples
Here is a list of new hazards ready to use in your campaigns. Each hazard has one or more hazard danger levels which determine the DC for the checks and the damaged they deal.
Avalanches, Rockfalls and Mudslides
Any Level of Hazard
Any character in the area where the hazard occurs must make a Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes bludgeoning damage and is buried by the hazard, or half as much damage on a successful one. The area is filled with snow, rubble or mud and becomes difficult terrain.
Any buried creature is considered suffocated, and it can dig through to free itself. To do so, the creature must succeed a number of Strength (Athletics) checks, as shown in the following table.
Hazard Level | Number of Checks |
---|---|
Setback | 2 |
Dangerous | 3 |
Deadly | 4 |
You can read more about suffocating rules in the chapter 8 of the Player's Handbook.
Blizzard
Setback Hazard
The area affected by a blizzard is considered difficult terrain. When a creature without proper shelter is in the area affected by the blizzard for one hour, it must make a Constitution saving throw, taking cold damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one. If a creature is wearing warm clothing, it has advantage on the saving throw.
Earthquakes
Any Level of Hazard
A tremor shakes the area; each creature on the ground in that area must make a Dexterity saving throw or be knocked prone.
The hazard level is determined by the proximity to the epicenter or the intensity of the earth tremor:
- Setback. Far from the epicenter or light earthquake.
- Dangerous. Near the epicenter or moderate earthquake.
- Deadly. Very close to the epicenter or severe earthquake.
Elemental Cloud
Any Level of Hazard
This cloud is made with elemental essence. When a creature enters the cloud, it must make an appropriate saving throw, taking damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that ends its turn in the cloud must roll another saving throw.
Cloud Color | Damage Type | Saving Throw |
---|---|---|
Black | Necrotic | Constitution |
Cyan | Cold | Constitution |
Gray and Yellow | Lightning | Dexterity |
Light Green | Acid | Constitution |
Purple | Psychic | Wisdom |
Red | Fire | Constitution |
White | Force | Intelligence |
Hailstorm
Dangerous Hazard
Similar to a blizzard, the terrain affected by the hailstorm is considered difficult terrain. When a creature without proper shelter is in the area affected by the hailstorm for one hour, it must make a Constitution saving throw, taking cold damage on a failed save or half as much damage on a successful one.
Insect Swarm
Setback Hazard
A cloud of swarming insects fills a 20-foot-radius sphere. The swarm moves at 20 feet on each round. When a creature enters the cloud, it must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, it takes piercing damage, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that ends its turn in the cloud must roll another saving throw. A creature cannot be damaged by the insect swarm if it’s wielding a torch or if it is at least 5 feet from a fire.
Lava
Deadly Hazard
The lava is considered difficult terrain. Any creature that enters the lava takes fire damage. A creature that ends its turn in the lava takes fire damage.
Lightning Storms
Dangerous or Deadly Hazard
The DM rolls a d100 to determine if any creature is hit by a lightning.
This check can be made at the beginning of each turn during a combat or in any time while the party is not in combat.
d100 | Number of Creatures |
---|---|
1-50 | 0 |
51-70 | 1d4 |
71-80 | 1d6 |
81-90 | 1d8 |
91-100 | 1d10 |
The creatures hit by a lightning are determined by the DM, and any creature in the area under total cover from above cannot take damage.
Magma Eruptions
Dangerous Hazard
Magma erupts from a point on the ground, creating a 20-foot-high, 5-foot-radius geyser. Each creature in the geyser's area must make a Dexterity saving throw, taking fire damage on a failed save, or half as much on a successful one.
Poison Clouds and Spores
Setback Hazard
When a creature enters the cloud, it must make a Constitution saving throw, taking poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. A creature that ends its turn in the cloud must make another saving throw.
Rapids
Setback Hazard
When a Large or smaller creature enters the rapids its pushed 30 feet way in the direction of the water flow and it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take bludgeoning damage. Any creature caught by the rapids can make a Strength (Athletics) check to swim out of the rapids.
Rogue Wave
Dangerous Hazard
A large and unexpected wave that can be extremely dangerous. When a creature is hit by the rogue wave, it must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take bludgeoning damage, or half as much damage on a successful save. The rogue wave, along with any creatures in it, moves in a straight line at a speed of 50 feet per turn, and any Huge or smaller creature inside the wall must succeed on a Strength saving throw or take damage. The wave damage is reduced by 1d10 on each subsequent round. When the damage is reduced to 0, the wave ends.
A creature caught by the wave can move by swimming and it can make a Strength (Athletics) check to swim out of the wave.
Sandstorms
Dangerous Hazard
Any creature in the sandstorm must make a Constitution saving throw or be blinded until the sandstorm ends. A creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. A creature cannot be blinded by the sandstorm if it’s wearing goggles or something that protects its eyes.
Any check that relies on sight is made with disadvantage for the duration of the sandstorm.
Unsteady Ground
Setback Hazard
The floor in the area is considered difficult terrain. Any creature on the ground that starts moving on its turn while in the area must succeed on a Dexterity (Acrobatics) check or fall prone. If a creature uses a Dash action, it must make another check.
Dangerous Terrains
In the following section you can find survival considerations and hazards for various terrains. You can combine different terrains to create a more dynamic (and probably more deadly) environment.
Arctic
Cold and Extreme Cold. The temperatures in this environment are lower than other places, and you need proper gear for resisting this temperatures. Whenever the temperature is at or below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, you must follow the rules of extreme cold.
Extreme Cold (DMG, P.110)
Whenever the temperature is at or below 0 degrees Fahrenheit, a creature exposed to the cold must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour or gain one level of exhaustion. Creatures with resistance or immunity to cold damage automatically succeed on the saving throw, as do creatures wearing cold weather gear (thick coats, gloves, and the like) and creatures naturally adapted to cold climates.
Food Scarcity. It's hard to find food like plants and creatures due the low temperatures. All the checks for foraging and hunting have a DC equal to 20.
Shelter. In general, the arctic areas are vast frozen plains with big glaciers and rocks, making it difficult to find a natural shelter.
Environmental Hazards
Hazard | Source | Notes |
---|---|---|
Avalanches | CAW, P.55 | Only near mountains |
Blizzard | CAW, P.55 | |
Elemental Cloud | CAW. 55 | Cyan clouds only |

Hailstorm | CAW, P.55 | |
Chasms and Ice Cracks | DMG, P.122 | Use the pits trap |
Slippery Ice | DMG, P.110 | |
Thin Ice | DMG, P.111 |
Caves
Darkness and Light. Most of the natural caves don't have light sources, so anyone who enters must bring their sources of light and fire for warmth, cooking and in some cases, defense. A caves might have some light sources, such as groups of fluorescent fungus or other dangerous light sources, like lava.
Orientation and tracking. Inside a cave it's almost impossible to determine where's North: lots of caves are just tunnels connected, making it more difficult to create an accurate map of it.
Flooding. Some parts of the caves might be close to a water source or any other liquid that can quickly fill a room.
Environmental Hazards

Lava | CAW, P.55 | |
Pits | DMG, P.122 | |
Rockfalls | CAW, P.55 | |
Unsteady Ground | CAW, P.56 |
Desert
Heat and Extreme Heat. The opposite of the arctic terrain, temperatures in this environment are higher than other places, and you need enough water supplies for resisting the heat. Whenever the temperature is at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, you must follow the rules of extreme heat.
Extreme Heat (DMG, P.110)
When the temperature is at or above 100 degrees Fahrenheit, a creature exposed to the heat and without access to drinkable water must succeed on a Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour or gain one level of exhaustion. The DC is 5 for the first hour and increases by 1 for each additional hour. Creatures wearing medium or heavy armor, or who are clad in heavy clothing, have disadvantage on the saving throw. Creatures with resistance or immunity to fire damage automatically succeed on the saving throw, as do creatures naturally adapted to hot climates.
Shelter. In general, the desert areas are just sand and rocks (in some areas they might be some scattered shrubs), making it difficult to find a safe campsite.
Strong Wind. A strong wind imposes disadvantage on ranged weapon attack rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing. A strong wind also extinguishes open flames, disperses fog, and makes flying by nonmagical means nearly impossible. A flying creature in a strong wind must land at the end of its turn or fall.
A strong wind in a desert can create a sandstorm that imposes disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
Water Scarcity. Finding water in a desert is extremely difficult, unless you're near an Oasis. All checks made for getting water have a DC equal to 20.
Environmental Hazards

Earthquakes | CAW, P.55 | |
Elemental Cloud | CAW, P.55 | Mostly red clouds |
Lightning Storms | CAW, P.56 | |
Sandstorms | CAW, P.56 |
Forests and Jungles
Density. Sometimes is hard to walk through a forest due the great number of plants, trees and vegetation. In most of the cases, you can't walk in a straight line through the forest.
Orientation and tracking. Inside a forest, the trees covers the sky, making it hard to determine where's North, and depending the density of the forest it might be harder to keep a track.
Sight and hearing. It might be more difficult to see or hear your surroundings because the density of the forest, the tree shadows, obstacles (such a fallen tree) and the sound of the trees and vegetation moving with the wind.

Lakes, rivers and ocean
Orientation and tracking. In the middle of the ocean or under a storm, it's difficult to determine the cardinal points without the proper tools.
Shipwrecks. In the ocean, lakes and even in rivers there're rocks, icebergs, and more that can damage or destroy a ship or boat.
Water streams. The river streams can change drastically depending on the terrain around the rivers, like the terrain elevation, inclination and waterfalls.

Mountains
Altitude. When you're traveling at altitudes of 10,000 feet or higher above sea level, you must follow the high altitude rules.
Strong wind. A strong wind imposes disadvantage on ranged weapon attack rolls and Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on hearing. A strong wind also extinguishes open flames, disperses fog, and makes flying by nonmagical means nearly impossible. A flying creature in a strong wind must land at the end of its turn or fall.
A strong wind in a desert can create a sandstorm that imposes disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight.
High Altitude (DMG, P.110)
Traveling at altitudes of 10,000 feet or higher above sea level is taxing for a creature that needs to breathe, because of the reduced amount of oxygen in the air. Each hour such a creature spends traveling at high altitude counts as 2 hours for the purpose of determining how long that creature can travel.
Breathing creatures can become acclimated to a high altitude by spending 30 days or more at this elevation. Breathing creatures can't become acclimated to elevations above 20,000 feet unless they are native to such environments.

Special Terrains
In the wilderness, there're places that have been touched by ancient magic or energies for centuries, creating a persistent effect on those lands. Here're some ideas for creating special terrains you can add to flesh a particular zone in the wild.
Blood Rock
This area was part of old and forgotten ceremonial sacrifices, a massive battle between armies that fought for centuries or the place where a powerful otherwordly creature was slain. The area is covered by stones with a red tone, bones covered by dirt and mud and dry blood. Any creature standing in this area can score a critical hit on a 19 or 20.
Long-Term Effect: A creature must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw at the end of each hour. On a failed save, the creature must use its action each round to attack the nearest creature it sees. At the end of each of its turns, the creature can make a new Wisdom saving throw. On a success, the effect ends until another hour passes.
Death Circle Ruins
This area surrounded by dark stone pillars is infused with necrotic energy. Any healing effect, such as a cure wounds spell only heals half the total amount in this area.
Long-Term Effect: A living creature must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour. On a failed save, its hit point maximum is reduced by 1d6. To recover the reduced hit points, the creature must spend 1 hour outside the area covered by the death circle ruins.
Defiled Ground
The dark energy fills this area, attracting undead creatures to this area. Any undead creature gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls while standing in the defiled ground. Additionally, when an undead is reduced to 0 hit points, roll a d20. On a 10 or higher, the undead creature rises with 1 hit point on its next turn. If an undead is reduced to 0 hit points by radiant damage, it cannot roll for rising again.
Long-Term Effect: A creature must succeed on a DC 10 Constitution saving throw at the end of each hour. On a failed save, it takes 5 necrotic damage.
Grab Grass
This thick, tough grass grows in areas constantly touched by Feywild magic that clings to characters and creatures that falls prone. An area covered by grab grass is considered difficult terrain, and any creature that falls prone in this area must make a Strength (Athletics) check to stand up (DC 10).
Life Circle Ruins
This area surrounded by white stone pillars is infused with pure life energy. Every 1 minute, any living creature that begins its turn in the area regains 2 hit points.
Long-Term Effect: Any living creature that stays in this area for 1 hour can end either one disease or one condition afflicting it. The condition can be blinded, deafened, paralyzed or poisoned.
Planetouched
Due to planar energy, a powerful artifact or some other factor, this terrain boosts certain types of energy related to one plane. Pick one damage type from the following list: Acid, Cold, Fire, Force, Lightning, Necrotic, Psychic or Radiant. Any attack that deals the chosen damage type deals an extra 1d6 damage of that type.
Sacred Shrine
A sacred shrine is dedicated to a particular deity, infusing with divine energy the area nearby. A creature that shares the deity's alignment gains a +1 bonus on attack rolls while standing in the area covered by the shrine.
Long-Term Effect: A creature that has a different alignment to the deity's alignment must succeed on a DC 10 Wisdom saving throw at the end of each hour. On a failed save, it has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures that shares the deity's alignment. At the end of each of its turns, the creature can make a new Wisdom saving throw. On a success, the effect ends until another hour passes.
PART 3
Complete Crafting
Chapter 6: Collecting Materials
WHEN ADVENTURING, IT'S POSSIBLE TO find common and exotic materials which are used to craft new objects and gear. In this section you will find new rules for collecting materials, which can be used for crafting new weapons, armor, clothing, and other kind of gear. This document expands the crafting rules found in the downtime revisited section of the Xanatar's Guide to Everything to focus on the process of collecting new materials for crafting new items.
Material Sources
When the characters are camping in a forest, exploring an abandoned mine, diving in the ocean, or surviving in a dungeon, they can also search and gather raw materials for crafting.
Every day, characters can collect materials while traveling through the wild or exploring a dungeon or a cave. These materials can be found by mining a mineral vein, gathering plants and herbs for potions and other concoctions, and harvesting or collecting creature parts for later use.
Creatures
Creature parts are mostly used as materials and creating armor and weapons. Others take some of the creature parts as trophies and decorations for their armor and houses.
When characters hunt down or finds a dead creature they can attempt to harvest some parts for crafting and surviving. Since creatures and monsters varies in type and rarity, the characters must make a specific ability check.
    The Extracting Creature Parts table shows which ability check a character must make to extract some parts from a creature. The DC for harvesting a part equals to 12 plus half the creature challenge rating (creatures with a challenge rating lower than 2 don't add it to the DC).
Extracting Creature Parts
Creature Type | Ability Check |
---|---|
Aberration, construct, dragon, elemental, ooze |
Arcana |
Beast, giant, humanoid, monstrosity, plant | Nature |
Celestial, fey, fiend, undead | Religion |
The number of checks a character can make depends of the size of the creature. Every harvest check takes 1 hour to complete, even if the character fails the roll. Each successful check gives the character a number of units which can be used for crafting new pieces of equipment, objects, and other kind of gear. On the other side, a failure destroys the part.
The DM determines the number of checks the party can make for each part they want to harvest. He also decides the amount of units a character get, but the number of units cannot exceed the maximum shown in the following table.
Creature Size |
Maximum Checks |
Maximum Units per Check |
---|---|---|
Tiny | 1 | 1/4 unit |
Small | 2 | 1/2 unit |
Medium | 2 | 1 unit |
Large | 3 | 2 units |
Huge | 4 | 3 units |
Gargantuan | 5 | 4 units |
    For example, characters can make multiple checks for harvesting various units of scales from a large red dragon, but they can make only one check for harvesting the heart (which gives only 1 unit instead of two).
Creature Essence
All creatures are divided in various types, and characters can extract a unit of that essence using an essence extraction device. You can read more about that magic item in the New Magic Items section.
Parts Values
The value of each harvested unit goes from 1% to 50% of the experience of the creature. The harvested parts of common creatures have a value of 1% of the creature's experience, while the rarer creature's parts value is close to 50% of the creature's experience. You can determine the values of each extracted part in the following table.
Units Value
CR | Creature rarity | Unit value |
---|---|---|
3 or less | Common | 1% of the creature exp. |
4-8 | Uncommon | 5% of the creature exp. |
9-12 | Rare | 10% of the creature exp. |
13-18 | Very Rare | 25% of the creature exp. |
19+ | Legendary | 50% of the creature exp. |
As examples, if a character harvest one unit of feathers from a hippogriff (CR 1), the value of the feather unit will be 1% of the base experience (200 exp), which is 2 gp. A unit of pseudodragon's scales is worth 5 sp (CR 1/4), and a unit of an adult blue dragon's scales is worth 3,750 gp (CR 16).
Keeping Parts Chilled
If characters wants to keep some creature parts for later use, they need to maintain the parts in a chilled place to avoid decomposition. Check the Bag of Colding in the New Magic Items section of this supplement.
Other Materials
In addition to the materials a character can collect from creatures, there're plenty of other sources for gathering raw materials for crafting and other uses. These materials are divided in minerals (like orichalcum and obsidian), non-minerals (like darkwood), and plants and herbs.
Minerals
Minerals are earthen materials used for making armor, weapons, and when using exotic materials, those pieces of gear gain special qualities.
To extract minerals, a character must use a miner's pick and make a Strength (Athletics) check. The DC for extracting ores is always 15. On a success, the character collects a number of ore units equal to 1d4 + its Constitution modifier (minimum 1 unit).
If needed, the character must make an Intelligence (Nature) check first to find a vein or a place where the ores are.
Non-Mineral Materials
There're also other materials which are not ores or gemstones, such as wood, stone, and coral that can be also used to craft weapons, armor, and other kind of items and gear.
For collecting those materials, a character needs to make a Strength (Athletics) or a Dexterity check, depending on the material (DC 15). On a success, the character collects a number of units equal to 2d4 + its Constitution modifier (minimum 1).
For example, if a character wants to collect some units of darkwood, he must make a Strength (Athletics) check to cut down the tree with an axe and get the material. On a success, the character collects a number of darkwood units equals to 1d4 + its Constitution modifier.
The time used for extracting minerals and other materials equals to 1 day of downtime activity. This represents all the time the character uses to find and extract the materials.
Plants and Herbs
Plants are mostly used for creating alchemical mixtures, cooking, and in some cases for creating dyes for painting.
To gather plants, herbs and other similar resources the character must success a DC 15 Intelligence (Nature) check. On a success, the character collects a number of units equal to 1d4 + its Intelligence modifier (minimum 1 unit).
The time used for gathering equals to 1 hour for each check, and you can make a number of checks per day equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum 1).
Buying and Selling
It's up to the DM to determine if collected materials can be sold (and in some cases, bought). The value of each unit depends of the material. For more information about special materials and values, read the material description section of this supplement.
Plants and Herbs by Areas
In the following tables you can see examples of plants for various environments. When a character succeeds a roll to gather plants and herbs, the DM can chose one of the following plants or roll a d20 to determine it randomly. You can read more information about each plant in the material description section.

Chapter 7: Crafting Rules (XGtE)
DURING ADVENTURES AND TRAVELS, A character can collect and harvest a series of materials and objects to craft common and special equipment. This supplement expands the following crafting rules, which can also be found in the Xanatar's Guide to Everything.
Crafting an Item
A character who has the time, the money, and the needed tools can use downtime to craft armor, weapons, clothing, or other kinds of nonmagical gear.
Resources and Resolution. In addition to the appropriate tools for the item to be crafted, a character needs raw materials worth half of the item's selling cost. To determine how many workweeks it takes to create an item, divide its gold piece cost by 50. A character can complete multiple items in a workweek if the item's combined cost is 50 gp or lower. Items that cost more than 50 gp can be completed over longer periods of time, as long as the work in progress is stored in a safe location.
Multiple characters can combine their efforts. Divide the time needed to create an item by the number of characters working on it. Use your judgment when determining how many characters can collaborate on an item. A particularly tiny item, like a ring, might allow only one or two workers, whereas a large, complex item might allow four or more workers.
A character needs to be proficient with the tools needed to craft an item and have access to the appropriate equipment. Everyone who collaborates needs to have the appropriate tool proficiency. You need to make any judgment calls regarding whether a character has the correct equipment. The following table provides some examples.
Proficiency | Items |
---|---|
Herbalism kit | Antitoxin, potion of healing |
Leatherworker's tools | Leather armor, boots |
Smith's tools | Armor, weapons |
Weaver's tools | Cloaks, robes |
If all the above requirements are met, the result of the process is an item of the desired sort. A character can sell an item crafted in this way at its listed price.
Crafting Magic Items. Creating a magic item requires more than just time, effort, and materials. It is a long-term process that involves one or more adventures to track down rare materials and the lore needed to create the item.
Potions of healing and spell scrolls are exceptions to the following rules. For more information, see "Brewing Potions of Healing" later in this section and the "Scribing a Spell Scroll" section, below.
To start with, a character needs a formula for a magic item in order to create it. The formula is like a recipe. It lists the materials needed and steps required to make the item.
An item invariably requires an exotic material to complete it. This material can range from the skin of a yeti to a vial of water taken from a whirlpool on the Elemental Plane of Water. Finding that material should take as part of an adventure.
The Magic Item Ingredients table suggests the challenge rating of a creature that the characters need to face to acquire the materials for an item. Note that facing a creature does not necessarily mean that the characters must collect items from its corpse. Rather, the creature might guard a location or a resource that the characters need to access to.
Magic Item Ingredients
Item Rarity | CR Range |        |
---|---|---|
Common | 1-3 | |
Uncommon | 4-8 | |
Rare | 9-12 | |
Very Rare | 13-18 | |
Legendary | 19+ |
If appropriate, pick a monster or a location that is a thematic fit for the item to be crafted. For example, creating a mariner's armor might require the essence of a water weird. Crafting a staff of charming might require the cooperation of a specific arcanaloth, who will help only if the characters complete a task for it. Making a staff of power might hinge on acquiring a piece of an ancient stone that was once touched by the god of magic–a stone now guarded by a suspicious androsphinx.
In addition to facing a specific creature, creating an item comes with a gold piece cost covering other materials, tools, and so on, based on the item's rarity. Those values, as well as the time a character needs to work in order to complete the item, are shown on the Magic Item Crafting Time and Cost table. Halve the listed price and creation time for any consumable items.
Magic Item Crafting Time and Cost
Item Rarity | Workweeks* | Cost*     |
---|---|---|
Common | 1 | 50 gp     |
Uncommon | 2 | 200 gp     |
Rare | 10 | 2,000 gp     |
Very Rare | 25 | 20,000 gp     |
Legendary | 50 | 100,000 gp     |
   To complete a magic item, a character also needs whatever tool proficiency is appropriate, as for crafting a nonmagical object, or proficiency in the Arcana skill.
If all the above requirements are met, the result of the process is a magic item of the desired sort.
Complications. Most of the complications involved in creating something, especially a magic item, are linked to the difficulty in finding rare ingredients or components needed to complete the work. The complications a character might face as byproducts of the creation process are most interesting when the characters are working on a magic item: there's a 10 percent chance for every five workweeks spent on crafting an item that a complication occurs. The Crafting Complications table provides examples of what might happen.
Crafting Complications
d6 | Complication |
---|---|
1 | Rumors swirl that what you're working on is unstable and a threat to the community.* |
2 | Your tools are stolen, forcing you to buy new ones.* |
3 | A local wizard shows keen interest in your work and insists on observing you. |
4 | A powerful noble offers a hefty price for your work and is not interesting in hearing a no for an answer.* |
5 | A dwarf clan accuses you of stealing its secret lore to fuel your work.* |
6 | A competitor spreads rumors that your work is shoddy and prone to failure.* |
*Might involve a rival
   Brewing Potions of Healing. Potions of healing fall into a special category for item crafting, separate from other magic items. A character who has proficiency with the herbalism kit can create these potions. The times and costs for doing so are summarized on the Potion of Healing Creation table.
Potion of Healing Creation
Type | Time | Cost    |
---|---|---|
Healing | 1 day | 25 gp    |
Greater healing | 1 workweek | 100 gp    |
Superior healing | 3 workweeks | 1,000 gp    |
Supreme healing | 4 workweeks | 10,000 gp    |
Variant Rule: Fast Crafting
If you want players to craft items faster, you can reduce the time and cost of crafting any item to half (rounded up). For example, crafting a rare magic item will take 5 workweeks and 1,000 gp worth in raw materials.
Scribing a Spell Scroll
With time and patience, a spellcaster can transfer a spell to a scroll, creating a spell scroll.
Resources. Scribing a spell scroll takes an amount of time and money related to the level of the spell the character wants to scribe, as shown in the Spell Scroll Costs table. In addition, the character must have proficiency in the Arcana skill and must provide any material components required for the casting of the spell. Moreover, the character must have the spell prepared, or it must be among the character's known spells, in order to scribe a scroll of that spell.
If the scribed spell is a cantrip, the version of the scroll works as if the caster were 1st level.
Spell Scroll Costs
Spell level |    Time | Cost    |
---|---|---|
Cantrip |    1 day | 15 gp    |
1st |    1 day | 25 gp    |
2nd |    3 days | 250 gp    |
3rd |    1 workweek | 500 gp    |
4th |    2 workweeks | 2,500 gp    |
5th |    4 workweeks | 5,000 gp    |
6th |    8 workweeks | 15,000 gp    |
7th |    16 workweeks | 25,000 gp    |
8th |    32 workweeks | 50,000 gp    |
9th |    48 workweeks | 250,000 gp    |
Complications. Crafting a spell scroll is a solitary task, unlikely to attract much attention. The complications that arise are more likely to involve the preparation needed for the activity. Every workweek spent scribing brings a 10 percent chance of a complication, examples of which are on the Scribe a Scroll Complications table.
Scribe a Scroll Complications
d6 | Complication |
---|---|
1 | You bought up the last of the rare ink used to craft scrolls, angering a wizard in town. |
2 | The priest of a temple of good accuses you of trafficking in dark magic.* |
3 | A wizard eager to collect one of your spells in a book presses you to sell the scroll. |
4 | Due to a strange error in creating the scroll, it is instead a random spell of the same level. |
5 | The rare parchement you bought for your scrolls has a barely visible map on it. |
6 | A thief attempts to break into your workroom.* |
*Might involve a rival
Chapter 8: Modular Crafting
WHILE CHARACTERS CAN CRAFT A
specific item (nonmagical and magical), they can also craft their own gear depending on what they want. To create an object with special materials, a character needs an amount of material units for crafting it.
As general rule, a character needs 3 units of the same material for crafting a medium-sized creature armor or clothing, and 2 units of the same material for weapons, shields, and 10 units of ammunition. For bigger creatures, the character needs twice the amount of materials used for each size increment, and for smaller creatures, the character needs only half materials per each size smaller than medium.
Since magic items are more complex and unique features, a character might require more units of the same material or some units of different materials to craft the magic item.
Material Description
In the following section you can find a list of materials, their unit value and properties. Some of this materials might have other special features. For example, an armor made with dragon bones could grant you resistance to the dragon's breath weapon damage type.
Unless the materials are used for crafting magic items, a piece of gear crafted with any of these materials is non-magical.
Creatures
There are a lot of different creatures in Dungeons and Dragons, and because of that, this section have some general creature parts that can be used for crafting. Feel free to create your own specific creature materials (such as using one unit of aboleth tail for crafting a magical +2 whip).
For non-magical armor and weapons you make with creature parts, you gain an extra benefit depending on the creature Challenge Rating, as shown in the following table.
Non-Magical Armor and Weapons Bonus
Creature CR | Armor Class | Weapons (attack and damage) |
---|---|---|
6 or less | none | none |
7-12 | none | +1 |

Optional Rules: Material Resistance
Every non-magical armor or weapon made with special materials have a number of resistance points. If the points are reduced to 0, the piece of equipment is broken and you need to repair it to use it again.
The points are reduced in the following events:
- When you make an attack with a weapon made with a special material and you roll a 1, the resistance points of the weapon are reduced by 1 point.
- When you take a critical hit from an opponent, it reduces your armor resistance points by 1.
Each reduced point also reduces the attack bonus and damage dealt for weapons, and the AC for armors.
In the following table you can see how many resistance points have a special material depending on the material value. A material that replaces any of the materials mentioned in the table uses the resistance of the replaced material (for example, a coral armor uses the metal resistance points)
Resistance Points by Value
Material Value | Clothing, non-metallic | Wood | Metal |
---|---|---|---|
100 or less | 2 | 3 | 4 |
101 - 500 | 3 | 4 | 5 |
501 - 1.000 | 4 | 5 | 6 |
1.001 or more | 5 | 6 | 7 |
Repairing Equipment
If you want to repair a piece of equipment made with a special material, you need to make a tools check using the required artisan tools. The DC equals to 8 + total amount of reduced points.
Depending on what you're trying to repair, you need to use a number of units of the same material, as shown in the following table.
Equipment type | Number of Material Units |
---|---|
Armor | 2 units |
Weapon | 1 unit |
If you pass the check, the equipment is repaired completely. If you fail the check, you can make another check when you finish a long rest.
Common Items Resistance
You can also apply this rules to common materials like iron and wood. Determine the resistance points using the market value of the items, and for repairing them you will need units of iron, wood, or any other common material.
Chapter 9: Modular Alchemy
CHARACTERS CAN USE SOME OF THE materials they collect during their adventures to craft new pieces of gear, magic weapons and armor, but they can also use some for creating various alchemical concoctions. Materials that have an alchemical feature are known as reagents.
Due the complexity of some mixtures, only the most experienced characters can create certain concoctions. The character level determines the maximum rarity of the concoction it can create, as shown in the table below.
Concoction Rarity | Required Character Level |
---|---|
Common | 1st |
Uncommon | 3rd |
Rare | 7th |
Very Rare | 10th |
Concoction Rarity
The concoction rarity is determined by the number of reagents used for creating the mixture. In addition, the concoction rarity determines the duration of each effect that have a duration.
Reagents Used | Concoction Rarity | Effects Duration |
---|---|---|
1 | Common | 1 minute |
2 | Uncommon | 10 minutes |
3 | Rare | 1 hour |
4 | Very rare | 5 hours |
For example, a concoction created with 1 reagent is a common concoction and any effect with a duration will last for 1 minute, and one created with 3 reagents is a rare concoction, and the effects with a duration will last for 1 hour.
Creating a Concoction
Concoctions are divided in bombs, poisons and potions. For creating each of these, a character must be proficient with a particular tool: alchemist's supplies for bombs, a poisoner's kit for poisons or an herbalism kit for potions. In addition, an empty vial is required for storing the created mixture.
Creating a concoction also comes with a gold piece cost covering other materials, tools, as well as the time a character needs to work in order to complete the mixture. The base cost is reduced by the total value of the reagents used.
Creating a Concoction
Type | Time | Cost |
---|---|---|
Bomb | ||
   Common | 1 day | 25 gp |
   Uncommon | 3 days | 80 gp |
   Rare | 1 workweek | 250 gp |
   Very rare | 2 workweeks | 500 gp |
Poison | ||
   Common | 1 day | 25 gp |
   Uncommon | 3 days | 100 gp |
   Rare | 1 workweek | 500 gp |
   Very rare | 2 workweeks | 1,000 gp |
Potion | ||
   Common | 1 day | 25 gp |
   Uncommon | 1 workweek | 100 gp |
   Rare | 3 workweeks | 1,000 gp |
   Very rare | 4 workweeks | 10,000 gp |
Multiple characters can combine their efforts. Divide the time needed to create a concoction by the number of characters working on it. As a general rule, the number of characters that can work on the same concoction cannot exceed the number of reagents used. Still, the DM have the last word when deciding how many characters can work on each concoction.
Reagents
A reagent is the material used in alchemy that grants a base effect for any concoction. Each reagent grants one level of an effect, so combining two reagents that grants the Resistance (fire) effect it will produce a Resistance (fire) II mixture.
The reagents can have the same effect, be various with different effects, or a combination of both (such as combining two reagents with one effect and two reagents with another effect). Still, a character cannot combine effects from different concoction types, such as combining the Blinding (a bomb effect) with the Weakness (a poison effect).
Combinations Examples
- Using two Healing reagents will result in a Healing II concoction.
- Using an Archery and a Resistance (fire) reagents will result in a Archery I/Resistance I (fire) concoction.
- Using two Weakness (Wisdom) and a Vulnerability (fire) reagents will result in a Weakness II (Wisdom)/Vulnerability I (fire) concoction.
- Using a Bomb (fire) and a Bomb (force) reagents will result in a Bomb I (fire)/Bomb I (force) concoction.
Bombs
This category includes any thrown mixture which can damage or cause other effects on an area. As an action, a character can throw a concoction up to 30 to a location it can see. The mixture shatters when it reach the location, releasing its content, and any creature within the area of explosion must make a Dexterity saving throw or take damage. A successful save reduces the damage in half.
The concoction rarity determines save DC and the area of explosion of the concoction.
Concoction Rarity | Save DC | Area of Explosion |
---|---|---|
Common | 10 | 5-foot radius |
Uncommon | 13 | 10-foot radius |
Rare | 15 | 15-foot radius |
Very rare | 17 | 20-foot radius |
Poisons
Poisons are substances that cause disturbances in living creatures. When creating a poison, the character must choose the poison type, which can be contact, ingested, inhaled or injury. You can read more about the poison types on the chapter 1 of this supplement.
In addition, the concoction rarity determines the Constitution save DC a creature must make to try to resist the poison.
Concoction Rarity | Save DC |
---|---|
Common | 10 |
Uncommon | 13 |
Rare | 15 |
Very rare | 17 |
If the creature fails the check, is considered poisoned for the duration of the poison. Then, and any other effects occurs.
The poisoned condition lasts until the duration of the mixture. If the poison imposes any other effect or condition, the creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending any additional effects on itself on a success.
Potions
Potions are mixtures created to give benefits to anyone who drinks it. The effect depends on the potion used.
A creature can only be under the effects of one potion that has a duration, and drinking a new potion will replace the previous effect.

Chapter 10: Modular Magic Items
EVERY MAGICAL ITEM HAVE SPECIAL properties which can go from dealing additional damage, giving resistance to a particular damage type, allowing a character to cast spells, increase their attributes and more. This section gives both players and DMs some guidelines to create custom magic items, which can also be crafted using the previous rules.
The character level determines the recommended levels a character should have to gain access to a specific tier. For example, a 3rd level character should have a tier 1 item, while a 9th level character can have a tier 3 item or lower.
Character Level | Item Tier | Properties' Rarity |
---|---|---|
1st-4th | Tier 1 | Minor |
5th-8th | Tier 2 | Uncommon |
9th-12th | Tier 3 | Rare |
13th-16th | Tier 4 | Very Rare |
17th-20th | Tier 5 | Legendary |
Item Tiers
Any magic item created using these rules have an item tier, which determines the number and rarity of properties for that item. For more information about uncommon and rarer properties, see the "Item Properties" section, below. A tier 1 item only have a minor property, and tier 2 and higher items can also have one minor property that gives a simple feature or effect to it for free. You can choose this property from the What Minor Property Does It Have? table found in the page 143 of the Dungeon's Master Guide.
The following table shows the properties rarity for magic items for every tier.
Properties Rarity per Tier
Tier | Property 1 | Property 2 | Property 3 |
---|---|---|---|
Tier 1 | Minor | - | - |
Tier 2 | Uncommon | Uncommon | - |
Tier 3 | Rare | Rare | - |
Tier 4 | Very Rare | Rare | Uncommon |
Tier 5 | Legendary | Very Rare | Rare |
Item Properties
In the following tables you can find various magical properties divided by type. It's up to the DM to determine if an item can have the same property multiple times and if its possible to add a property to a particular item. For example, a character can't add the Armor I property twice to a tier 3 magic armor, and that character cannot add the Weapon II or Vampiric II properties since an armor isn't made for dealing damage.
Spells and Charges
If an item has the charges or spell properties, the creator must decide which spell wants to add when creating the item. The character must have proficiency in the Arcana skill and must provide any material components required for the casting of the spell. Moreover, the character must have the spell prepared, or it must be among the character's known spells, in order to add that spell to the item.
For items with the Spell property, a character can choose only one spell to add. The spell level is determined by the property rarity. For example, an item that have the Spell III property with the lightning bolt spell, that spell will be casted as a 7th-level spell every time a character uses it.
For items with charges, a character can choose to add various spells. The number of spells and the spell level is determined by the rarity of the property, as shown in the following table.
Property | Number of Spells | Maximum Spell Level |
---|---|---|
Charges I | 1 | 1st |
Charges II | 2 | 3rd |
Charges III | 3 | 5th |
Charges IV | 4 | 6th |
Each charge equals to 1 spell slot level. For example, expending 1 charge allows the character to cast a 1st-level spell the item have, and expending 5 charges allows the character to cast a 5th-level spell the item have.

Crafting Modular Magic Items
If the DM allows it, a character can craft these items. To do so, determine the item rarity first, then, follow the downtime rules found in the Xanathar's Guide to Everything to set the CR range, workweeks and gold cost for each item.
Evolving Items
You can use the modular magic item rules for creating an item that will evolve with a specific character. First, make sure to give something to the item so it makes the character the only one to use it, such as adding a class prerequisite for attuning to the item. You can also link it with the character's story and important events, like being the weapon his father used when he was an adventurer.
Evolving Requirements
To evolve an item to a tier, the character must be at least at the minimum level required for each tier to evolve the item. For example, a 7th level character cannot evolve his or her magic item to tier 3 until reaching 9th level.
Additionally, even if a character has level to evolve the item to the next tier, it's up to the DM to determine an additional task or a triggering event to allow the item to evolve. This requirement gives a bit of background to the item, and also allows the DM to create some special quests to discover the item hidden features. Here're some sample requirements you can use:
- The character must slay a number of creatures with the weapon.
- The item must be placed on the altar found in the top of an abandoned wizard tower.
- The character must gain a deity's favor.
- The character must defeat an old enemy of the weapon maker.
- The item evolves after saving a group of innocents from a dark ritual.
- The character must execute a light (or dark) ritual.
- The item evolves when the character makes a big sacrifice for a personal cause.
Item Tiers and Evolving Items
Whenever an item evolves into a new tier, you can upgrade the properties to a rarer level following the same table from the Item Tiers section.
Tier 2. When it evolves to this tier, you can add two uncommon special properties to the item.
Tier 3. When it evolves to this tier, you can upgrade the uncommon special properties to rare special properties.
Tier 4. When it evolves to this tier, the item gains an extra uncommon special property and you can upgrade one rare special property to a very rare special property.
Tier 5. When it evolves to this tier, you can upgrade one uncommon special property to a rare special property, one rare special property to a very rare special property, and one very rare special property to a Legendary property
Taking and Replacing Properties
Since this rules are based on evolving the weapon properties instead of changing them to other, I don't recommend replacing one property with another at higher tiers, but it's up to you if you want to do so. For example, replacing the Damage II property with the Vampiric III property when evolving to tier 4.
A reason for replacing properties could be related with the item background story or a very particular event, such as discovering that the item contains the soul of an evil creature, replacing the "good-aligned" properties when the soul is awakened, like replacing the Light I property to a Damage I property (necrotic) for a weapon.
Alternatively, you can avoid taking one property at the beginning rarity, and then take a rarer property at higher tiers. For example, when creating an armor, you only choose the Ability Increase I property and left the second property empty at tier 2. Then, when the armor evolves to tier 3, you upgrade the Ability Increase to II and you also pick the Armor I for the second property.
Triggering Event Example
A 3rd level character is rewarded with Igni, a longsword used by his family for generations to defend the city against evil.
- Since he is a 3rd level character, the weapon is at tier 1, so it's just a basic longsword with a nice name, a background history, and the Guardian minor property (for now).
The character continues its adventures using the longsword, and after some adventures he reaches level 5. In this moment, his father tells him that the longsword has special abilities, and the character needs to prove himself worthy to unleash those abilities. For this, he must destroy an old fire elemental that attacked the city years ago.
- In this case, the character have the first requirement completed (reach level 5 to evolve the weapon to tier 2), but the weapon will not evolve until the character kills the fire elemental mentioned by his father.
After reaching 6th level, the character decides to enter the elemental lair and fight with the creature, and at the moment he destroys the elemental, the essence of the creature is drained by the longsword, and with that the weapon evolves to tier 2, giving the weapon a +1 to attack and damage and an extra +1d4 fire damage on a hit.
Evolving Weapon Example
Igni (Tier 1)
Weapon (longsword), common (requires attunement)
Same stats as the longsword found in the Player's Handbook, plus the guardian minor property (+2 on initiative rolls if the bearer isn't incapacitated).
Igni (Tier 2)
Weapon (longsword), uncommon (requires attunement)
When a character evolves Igni to this tier, apply the following changes to the item's traits:
- You gain a +1 on attack and damage rolls made with this weapon. Additionally, when you hit with an attack using this weapon, the target takes an additional 1d4 fire damage.
Igni (Tier 3)
Weapon (longsword), rare (requires attunement)
When a character evolves Igni to this tier, apply the following changes to the item's traits:
- Increase the bonus to attack and damage rolls to a +2
- The fire damage dealt by attacks with this weapon increases to 1d6.
Igni (Tier 4)
Weapon (longsword), very rare (requires attunement)
When a character evolves Igni to this tier, apply the following changes to the item's traits:
- The fire damage dealt by attacks with this weapon increases to 1d8.
- As an action, you can cast the fireball spell at 3rd level (DC 11). After using this ability, you need to finish a long rest.
Igni, Soul of the Fire (Tier 5)
Weapon (longsword), legendary (requires attunement)
When a character evolves Igni to this tier, apply the following changes to the item's traits:
- Increase the bonus to attack and damage rolls to a +3
- The fire damage dealt by attacks with this weapon increases to 1d10.
- As an action, you can now cast the fireball spell at 6th level (DC 13). After using this ability, you need to finish a long rest.
Appendix A: Parts by Creature
In the following section you will find some example materials a character can get from creatures. This list doesn't includes weapons, armor, or any kind of gear the creature have. Instead, the list can help players and DMs to determine what they can harvest from each creature. Remember that every creature have 1 unit of the creature type essence that can be extracted using a essence extraction device.
The list also includes the total amount of each part a character can harvest. This list doesn't consider bones, meat, blood, or common organs. Some creatures have particular organs listed because they grant benefits or features to the creature, such as the essential organ that gives a dragon its breath weapon.
