The Expanded Crafter

A Forenote

This supplemental Guide is meant to be a built-upon addition to The Complete Crafter made by AeronDrake. The items in this module are meant to reflect more exotic materials that are potentially harder to find, but with a higher payoff for item creation.

Some of the materials in this guide are also either replacement materials, or updated versions of them in order to grant a broader potential for both magical and nonmagical creations - and their unit costs reflect their new forms. Any updated materials are still used to craft the recommended items in the original document, but with potential for either improvements, or completely different items altogether.

Some materials may also be presented as innately magical, without the need of further enchantment. This means that while the materials exhibit magical properties, they are not affected by dead magic zones or antimgaical effects.

Example: Adamantium in this guide is listed as magical in nature, granting it a +1 magical bonus to attack and damage, and a +1 bonus to AC. This means that, even within the confines of an antimagical effect, these innate abilities remain - as they are fundamental traits of the material itself. This goes the same for all other materials, even ones that deal elemental damage. Only the magical effects applied to the items AFTER enchanting are affected by magical nullification.

Of course, as with all rules and guidelines in D&D, it is ultimately up to the DM to decide if these rules apply - or even if these materials exist on your world.

A Forenote on Aetherion Energy

In this document, several mentions of a damage type known as "Aetherion" are made, this is a type that is not typical in most senses as it works differently than most forms of damage:

Aetherion Thought to be the spiritual twin of Force damage, Aetherion is, in simplistic terms, soul energy. Where Force damage shreds and tears down matter at the molecular level, Aetherion damage only targets souls and spirits and destroys them, rendering most bodies completely inert and "empty" No form of resistance, immunity, or vulnerability exists for such damage.....that is known.

All constructs of an artificial nature - not including those powered by a soul or similar spiritual power source - are immune to the effects of Aetherion, as they do not possess the "material" that is affected by this damage type.

In addition, this supplemental guide also delves into more items, weapons, and armor available to the characters that may appear in different D&D books.

This is to reflect foreign lands as well as technological developments.

Crafting Basics

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 Xanathar's Guide to Everything.

Crafting an Item

Following the rules in the previous Guide, these tables expand upon the original tables, including more challenge ratings for creatures for materials, another level of rarity, and more options for tool uses.

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.

Tools and Abilities. 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.

If all the 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.

What Tool for What Item?

What is the best choice to craft a quarterstaff? Carpenter's Tools or Woodcarver's Tools?

The decision ultimately lies with the DM, but it should be noted neither the tools nor the proficiency brings with it any structural requirements (if they are necessary) for creating the item.

A Smith will still need a forge to properly apply their craft, just as a Cook would require a kitchen or campfire - keep these facts in mind when attempting to craft an item.

Materials for Crafting. As general rule, a character needs 3 units of the same material for crafting a medium-sized creature's armor or clothing, and 2 units of the same material for weapons, shields, and 10 pieces 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.

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 - 24
Mythical/Artifact	25 - 30+

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
Mythical/Artifact	100	500,000+ gp

*Halved for a consumable item like a potion, scroll or talisman. Items may also be crafted several times faster if created by a superior craftsman - such as a Fire Giant Smith, a Demonic Craftsman, or even a Deity.

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, artificer, or inventor 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.

Talismans

A talisman is a single-use magic item similar to a potion or a wand. It can be triggered once before it loses its magical power. A talisman can hold a spell of up to 3rd level, and any character can activate the spell. Most talismans are beneficial to the user. Talismans with offensive capabilities are all but unheard of.

Most talismans are crafted by enchanters, mystics, or shaman, and sold at temples, shrines, or holy sites.

A typical talisman is a small item of jewelry made from various natural materials: bone, feathers, shells, dried plants, and the like. Talismans are rarely larger than a holy symbol, and have no appreciable weight.

The form of a talisman is often a clue to its function. A tortoise shell, for example, is obviously protective in nature. Talismans can be identified as any other magic items. All talismans are activated by using an action, and the talisman crumbles to dust or ash after it is used.

To generate talismans randomly, roll a D100 on the Talismans table.

-	-	100	Incense of Focus	-	1,200gp

Brooch of Plenty This talisman provides its user with sufficient nourishment for one day’s sustenance. it also enhances the user’s rest, so that sleeping for 4 hours provides all the benefits of 8 hours of sleep. It crumbles to dust 24 hours after activation. (Crafting a brooch of plenty takes 1 day.)

Black Fan When activated, a black fan talisman surrounds the user in an aura of power and mystery. This aura inspires a measure of both fear and awe in people the user interacts with, giving the user advantage on Charisma checks for 1 hour. The talisman must be worn visibly on the user’s clothing for the duration of the effect. It crumbles into ash at the end of the hour. (Crafting a black fan takes 2 days.)

Incense of Focus A spellcaster who burns this incense at the end of a long rest gains an additional spell slot of 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th level. The spell slot you gain, must be of a level you already have spell slots for. Roll a d4 to determine the spell level. (Crafting an incense of focus takes 3 days.)

Crafting a talisman requires materials worth half it's listed value in gold (mostly what the talisman looks like), as well as proficiency in the Arcana skill and must provide any material components required for the casting of the spell. The Talisman must reflect it's intended use in some way, usually with it's appearance. Moreover, the character must have the spell prepared, or it must be among the character's known spells, in order to create the talisman.

Crafting any talisman takes an amount of days equal to it's spell slot level.

Mixing a Potion

With effort and focus, a person with the time on their hands can brew useful potions typically found in the world. As they are all forms of a restoration potion, they all follow the basic alchemical formula; and therefore, can all be brewed through the same methods. So as long as an alchemist knows how to make a potion of healing, they can make a mana or stamina potion as well - so long as he has the correct ingredients.

These 3 potion types fall into a special category for item crafting, separate from other magic items. A character who has proficiency with the herbalism kit or alchemist's supplies can create these potions. The times and costs for doing so are summarized on the Restoration Potion Creation table.

Restoration Potions Creation

Type	Rarity	Time	Cost
Base	Common	1 Day	25 gp
Greater	Uncommon	1 Workweek	100 gp
Superior	Rare	2 Workweeks	1,000 gp
Supreme	Very Rare	3 Workweeks	10,000 gp
Extreme	Legendary	4 Workweeks	100,000 gp

Healing Potion

One of the most commonly seen potion types, You regain hit points when you drink this potion. The number of hit points depends on the potion’s rarity, as shown in the Healing Potions table. Whatever its potency, the potion’s red liquid glimmers when agitated.

Healing Potions

Type	Rarity	HP regained
Healing	Common	2d4 + 2
Greater Healing	Uncommon	4d4 + 4
Superior Healing	Rare	8d4 + 8
Supreme Healing	Very Rare	10d4 + 20
Extreme Healing	Legendary	20d4 + 50

Mana Potion

This blue liquid is created using the essence of magic extracted from alchemical ingredients. When you drink this potion, you gain a number of points you can use to regain spell slots you already used (or recover Ki or Mana points equal to the points shown). The number of points depends on the potion's rarity, as shown in the mana potions table.

Mana Potions

Type	Rarity	Points
Mana	Common	1d4 + 1
Greater Mana	Uncommon	2d4 + 2
Superior Mana	Rare	3d4 + 3
Supreme Mana	Very Rare	4d4 + 4
Extreme Mana	Legendary	5d4 + 5

In the following table you can see how many points you need to spend for recovering a spell slot. When you use the potion, you must distribute the points immediately. You can recover any number of used spell slots if you have enough points to do so, and every point left is lost.

Spell Slot	Point Cost
1st	2
2nd	3
3rd	5
4th	6
5th	7
6th	9
7th	10
8th	11
9th	13

(Mana potions cannot restore 10th - 12th level spell slots)

Stamina Potion

This yellow-orange liquid is created from the flow of energy. When you drink this potion, it restores used abilities, depending on the class of whoever drinks it. Such as Action surges for fighters, Rages for barbarians, Bardic Inspirations for bards, Channel Divinities for clerics/paladins, and similar.

Stamina Potions

Type	Rarity	Ability points regained
Stamina	Common	1
Greater Stamina	Uncommon	2
Superior Stamina	Rare	3
Supreme Stamina	Very Rare	4
Extreme Stamina	Legendary	5

If restored to full, you gain however many more uses of the ability that go over max for 12 hours, and then they are lost.

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.

High Magic spells levels 10 - 12th, are under DM's discretion on whether they will include access to such godly magics. If so, examples of such can be found from Pryxis's Pages of Pure Magic .

It is also up to the DM to determine the spell Save DC and attack bonus to High Magic spell scrolls - keeping in mind their extreme power.

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	50,500 gp
9th	48 Workweeks	250,000 gp

10th	80 Workweeks	750,000 gp
11th	128 Workweeks	1,000,000 gp
12th	200 Workweeks	2,500,000 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.

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 parchment 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.

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 Xanathar's Guide to Everything to focus on the process of collecting new materials for crafting magic 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.

Creature Materials

Creature parts are mostly used as alchemical materials and for 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.

The DM determines the number of checks the party can make for each part they want to harvest.

The DM also decides the amount of units a character get, but the number of units cannot exceed the maximum shown in the table below.

Creature Size	Maximum Checks	Max Units per Check
Tiny	1	1/4 unit
Small	2	1/2 unit
Medium	3	1 unit
Large	4	2 units
Huge	5	3 units
Gargantuan	6	4 units
Colossal	7	5 units
Titanic	8	6 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). Some units may also have been destroyed from fighting the creature.

Parts Values

The value of each harvested unit goes from 1% to 50% of the experience of the creature - with the exception of truly mythical creatures being an astronomical 100% value. 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.

Unit Values

CR	Creature Rarity	Unit Value
6 or less	Common	1% of the creature exp.
7 - 12	Uncommon	5% of the creature exp.
13 - 18	Rare	10% of the creature exp.
19 - 24	Very Rare	25% of the creature exp.
25 - 29	Legendary	50% of the creature exp.
30+	Mythical	100% of the creature exp.

Examples:

If a character harvests 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 1,500 gp (CR 16).
1 Unit of a the scales of a Tarrasque (CR 30+) would be an astronomical 155,000 gp - a price truly worthy of the shed scales of the World Eater.

Other Materials

In addition to the materials a character can collect from creatures, there are plenty of other sources for gathering raw materials for crafting and other uses. These materials are divided in metals (like orichalcum and adamantium), stones & crystals (like coral and animite), woods (like kirinwood and livingwood) and plants and herbs.

Metals, Stones & Crystals

Metals, Stones & Crystals are minerals - the earthen materials used for making armor, weapons, and when using exotic materials, those pieces of gear gain special qualities.

Minerals - To extract minerals, a character must use a miner's pick - or similar tool - 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 2d4 + 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 or crystals are abundant.

The time used for extracting minerals equals to 1 day of downtime activity. This represents all the time the character uses to find and extract the materials.

Woods, Plants & Herbs

There're also other materials which are not ores or gemstones - mainly woods - which can be also used to craft weapons, armor, and other kind of items and gear. Plants and Herbs are mostly used for creating alchemical mixtures, cooking, and in some cases for creating dyes for painting.

Wood - For collecting Wood 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 kirinwood, 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 kirinwood units equals to 2d4 + its Constitution modifier.

Plants & Herbs - 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 2d4 + its Intelligence modifier (minimum 1 unit).

The time used for gathering woods, plants and herbs 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 & 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.

Killing, Chilling, & Filling

If characters want 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 later in this supplement.

Later in this module, the material known as "Creature Essence" is mentioned - these "Essence salts" are essential in crafting items of a specified creature's type - such as Giant Slaying, or Dragon slaying items, and similar. In order to extract essence salts from a creature, one may utilize what's known as an "Essence Extraction Device" which is also mentioned later.

Expanded Materials

In the following section you can find a list of materials, their unit value and properties. Some of these 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 - even when some of the features they grant are magical.

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.

Supernatural Herbs

When characters go to a regional area that is especially supernatural or magically potent, at times the local plant life is also just as affected.

For instance, if a nexus of magic exists in an isolated pocket of a particularly dense forest, not only do the characters roll on the "forest & woodlands" table, but they also roll on the "Supernatural" table to see what incredibly rare plants or herbs they find and harvest - which cannot normally be found - and usually only in very small amounts.

More art than science?

The plants and herbs listed are attributed to crating most forms of potions and poisons that are available in game. However, some methods of creating potions may require multiple differing ingredients - as per DM's discretion:

Perhaps the "Extreme Restoration Potion", with no obvious ingredient listed, would require a unit of each ingredient that made up it's lesser forms, namely: blue herb, kreet paste, spineflower berries, and viping vitalis.

A "Potion of Invulnerability" may require a unit of each other resistance potion's ingredients.

Even a "Resurrection Draught" may require the ingredients of an "Extreme Restoration potion" to be combined with Pargen Vine.

Creatures

Creature materials are used mainly for clothing and armor, as hides and leathers aren't utilized for crafting weapons.

Heavy armors made with chitin reduce the Strength requirement by 1.

Creature Essence

All creatures are different, but they're grouped up in types which determines their fundamental natures. These items are generally referred to as "salts" for the sake of simplicity (ie: fire salts - for fire elementals, dragon salts - for dragons, etc.)

Unit value: Determined by the creature's CR.

Weapon: Can be used to craft specific slaying weapons such as weapons of dragon or giant slaying.

Other: Can be used to craft specific potions, alchemical concoctions, and magic items such as a brazier of commanding elementals

Essence Salts

All creatures are divided into types, and characters can extract a unit of their essence using an essence extraction device - each creature can only grant 1 unit of essence salts. Essence salts come in many forms - and there is typically a salt for each type of creature. Below are a few examples of common salts:

+3 (elemental damage) to their damage rolls. - based on the damage type the hide usually protects against.

Mysterid Hide

This rare, seemingly opalescent hide, is harvested from creatures of a supernatural origin - typically those affected or mutated by exceptionally magical energies. It is difficult to find a creature that exhibits such mutations - and harder to extract from said creature.

These bones carry inside them residual divine energies from the Titans they once were a part of, and therefore, still retain massive power.

Titan Marrow is rediculously rare to come across, as killing a Titan will no doubt be an achievement of monumental proportions - doing so, and then harvesting it's bones would yield extreme renown and reward. Therefore it's value is too astronomical to state. Titan Marrow has all effects of Bone, with it's own abilities as well:

General: All Titan Marrow items are highly magical in nature, weapons gain a +2 magical bonus to attack and damage rolls, and armor gains a +2 to it's AC.

General: All items made with steel follow the same rules as their Player's Handbook equivalent as well as any special rules granted by a Trait crafted into the item.

Alchemical Silver

A natural deterrent against most supernatural beings, Some monsters are susceptible to silvered weapons, so cautious adventurers invest extra coin to plate their weapons with alchemical silver.

Unit Cost: 100 gp

Weapons: Count as a magical weapon for the purposes of overcoming resistances and immunities.

Armor and Shields: You impose disadvantage on attacks from creatures hurt by silver.

Cold Iron (updated)

Appearing to be mundane iron, but exhibits a faint blue sheen when exposed to magical light.

Unit Cost: 250 gp

Weapons: When you hit a fey creature with a Cold iron weapon, you can reroll the damage and use either result.

Armor and Shields: Grants a +1 bonus to any saving throws made against attacks or spells made by fey creatures. Additionally, while a creature is donned with an item of Cold Iron, they have advantage against being charmed or magically put to sleep.

Additionally, medium armor made of mithral allows the user to add a max of +3 from their Dexterity Modifier to their AC, instead of +2. While wearing Mithral armor, you don’t suffer disadvantage on Dexterity (stealth) checks, even if the armor would normally impose disadvantage.

Shields: made from mithral gain the light property (and therefore may be used in two-weapon fighting.) In addition, so long as the wearer is conscious and can see/hear/sense a threat, the wearer adds the AC bonus of their shield to their Dexterity saving throws.

Other: Mithral ammunition can be fired out to the long range of the weapon it is fired from without suffering disadvantage.

Umbrium (Replaces Asmoroch steel)

Found within rare veins down in the depths of the Underdark or near areas afflicted by the Hells, Umbrium is typically found in drow and duergar societies, and favored amongst devilish or demonic groups. Ruddy Brown when found as ore, umbrium turns a dark fiery red when heated and cools to a copperish black.

Entropium

A lithe and springy, brilliantly mirrored, silver metal. This metal is highly sought after for it's capability to store and redirect both potential and kinetic energies. Found in strange, twisted metal veins beneath very old great battles or tragedies. It's ability to disrupt entropic energies makes it ideal to fight elemental beings.

Unit Cost: 750 gp

General: All Entropium items are ritualistically magical in nature - weapons, armor, and items are considered magical for overcoming resistance and immunity.

All Entropium items seek to become whole again if ever seperated. If ever broken, an entropium item will mend themselves.

Ferroplasma

Also known as "Quicksilver", Ferroplasma is a a psychically ionized, semi-liquid metallic-plasma that typically only the gith species know how to process and manipulate to the fullest. Generally found in the astral plane in the fray of psychic storms in the form of silvery hail, and very rarely: found in liquid pools on floating remains of petrified dead gods. Most gith set up psionic nets on ships and in the astral plane to collect ferroplasma as psychic storms pass through - as harvesting it from the remains of dead gods can impose the wrath of the Guardian of the Vestiges: Anubis.

Unit Cost: 750 gp

Reduce the amount of damage done by sources of psychic by 1d6.

Orichalcum (updated)

A Bronze orange metal with a blood red sheen, typically found in high pressure locations such as deep beneath volcanoes or deep under water in volcanic trenches. This metal exhibits a high capability to "warp" gravity and natural energies around it innately, exhibiting a forceful aura. It is highly difficult to craft due to it's resistance to pressure and force.

Unit Cost: 1,000 gp

General: All Orichalcum items are magical in nature, weapons gain a +1 magical bonus to attack and damage rolls, and armor gains a +1 to it's AC.

Weapons: An Orichalcum weapon deals an extra 1d6 Force damage on strike. Additionally, whenever you critically hit with an Orichalcum weapon, reroll the damage roll and keep the higher of the two results.

Reduce the amount of damage done by sources of force by 1d6.

Finimagus

Also known as "Voidstone" or "Magebane", despite being inherently magical itself, this pitch black metal can temporarily nullify creatures from the weave - it is thought that the material "absorbs" the creature's magic. Finimagus has been used often to make prisons and shackles for spellcasters. Simply touching the metal is not enough to trigger the effects, so a mount with barding made of finimagus won't affect the rider. Found very rarely in mountaintops and caves where the ethereal plane touches, and where heavy magical prescences reside.

Unit Cost: 1,000 gp

General: All Finimagus items are magical in nature, weapons gain a +1 magical bonus to attack and damage rolls, and armor gains a +1 to it's AC.

All Adamantium items weigh twice their normal weight, have twice the number of hit points, and are considered Indestructible - except when hit with another indestructible item, it is then counted as having an additional +5 to any Strength check made to break them.

Weapons: When hitting a non-indestructible object, deal damage equal to max critical damage.

Armor and Shields: Cancels any critical hit, making it a normal hit. (If a adamantium weapon was used against a adamantium armor, it becomes possible to land critical hits.)

Viridium

Also known in some circles as "Godsbane"; rumored to be adamantium from the far realms beyond the multiverse, this adamntium mined from very rare, green-tailed meteroites is especially vibrant green in color with a white sheen, and is approached with much skepticism. Considered forbidden, taboo, and at times, even cursed by most religious or occult institutions for it’s inherent harmful effects against the outer powers.

Viridium is so mythically rare, that it's even more rare to find a craftsmen or entity that can forge and shape it...or is even willing to - considering it's properties. Therefore, the cost is so astronomically vast, that it's not worth stating. It should be noted, that even carrying a piece of Viridium is enough to pique the interest and potential ire of many an entity. Viridium has all effects of adamantium, with it's own abilities as well:

General: All Viridium items are highly magical in nature, weapons gain a +2 magical bonus to attack and damage rolls, and armor gains a +2 to it's AC. All Viridium Items are considered to be innate "Anathemas", meaning that they naturally are considered agents of depowerment towards deities and other godly beings. When a deity is in the presence of a Viridium item, it's Divine Rank drops by 1 point until the item is removed from their presence.

Weapons: Deals an extra 1d6 Aetherion damage on strike. When you hit any outsider creature with a Viridium weapon, you can reroll the damage and use either result. Weapons made with Viridium deal 2x Aetherion damage to outsiders of all types, or creatures considered planar outsiders, including deities. (abberations, celestials, elementals, fey, fiends, undead, and divine)

Armor and Shields: made of Viridium grant a +2 bonus to any saving throws made against attacks or spells made by any outsider creatures. Armor made with Viridium grants resisitance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, as well as Aetherion damage - known to be one of the only ways to counteract Aetherion energy's infamous unblockable damage capabilities.

Dendriticite

Dendriticite is a strange, barely luminescent, semi-living crystal that comes in shades of deep purple to blood red - and pulses lightly with an inner glow. Found in some of the deepest caverns in the underdark, this crystal has a tendency to seemingly "consume" blood, it also has a natural inclination for "self-offense" to ensure it receives blood to grow further as a mass. Despite not being a truly living being in any sense, it's thirst for bloodshed is both literal & palpable.

Unit Cost: 750 gp

General: All Dendriticite items are ritualistically magical in nature - weapons, armor, and items are considered magical for overcoming resistance and immunity.

Weapons: Deals an additional 1d6 bludgeoning, piercing, or slashing damage, as the crystal naturally moves to draw blood to feed itself.

Armor and Shields: Whenever the wearer takes over 20 HP of damage in one turn, the Dendricite extends spikey growths that explode outwards dealing 1d10 piercing damage to all creatures within a 10 foot radius centered on the wearer. Additionally, once a day, if you are at anywhere between 1 - 10 HP, you gain +3 AC as the Dendricite cluster feeds on your shed blood and thickens.

Disturbing Discoveries

Dendricite is a material that feeds specifically on shed blood, and will do anything within it's physical capability to sustain itself and grow in mass and size.

It has been observed that the larger the cluster of dendricite, the more viscous and offensive the surrounding crystals become, going as far as to rapidly grow on their own towards sources of blood - indicating a rise in cognitive capabilities.

Some scholars and adventurers have observed the crystal "possessing" still living creatures in a painful act of ventriloquism to bring more blood to the main cluster - producing what some have called "dendricite puppets."

Some items made by dendricite even begin to act erratically and hostile when in the presence of these massive clusters - sometimes turning on their wielders and forcing them to join the cluster itself.

Adventurers should take great care in satiating their Dendricite items with blood on a regular basis, lest they fall victim to it's natural betrayal.

Animite

Also known as "Soul Gem", Animite is unlike most other stones and crystals. Ranging in color from soft pinks, to light blues, to purples and blacks - this crystal yearns for magic and the inherent energies of souls and spirits. Found deep underground where magic has flowed heavily, these crystals can be found in clusters feeding off the excess energies from spells and magical effects, and sometimes if one gets close enough, faint humming can be heard from within the crystals. When heated to a high temperature, animite becomes malleable and ductile without being brittle - much like metal - and if superheated, it becomes a highly explosive white-hot liquid. An expert craftsman can form the crystal before it cools back to it's crystalline structure, holding its new shape.

Unit Cost: 1,000 gp

General: All Animite items are magical in nature, weapons gain a +1 magical bonus to attack and damage rolls, and armor gains a +1 to it's AC.

All items made of Animite may be used as a spellfocus with a +2 to the wielder's spell save DC - from simple objects such as rings and amulets, to shields, weapons and armor. These focuses count towards holy, arcane, druidic, psionic, and all other spellfocuses. Additionally, Animite objects are always capable of housing a soul within it as per the "Soul cage" spell and similar effects.

Weapons: Can naturally cast "Soul Cage" upon a creature killed with it. This can only be done once per day, and only if it is a "vacant" animite piece.

Armor and Shields: Grants their wearer advantage on all saving throws made to maintain concentration for spells.

Animite and Dragonshards

Animite functions almost identically to dragonshards found in the book "Eberron: Rising from the last war"

The Soul Within the Gem

Pieces of animite, whether they be weapons, armor, shields, or simple objects can each hold a soul within itself. The table below dictates the "estimated" value of a particular soul based on it's Hit Dice Value - the value may increase or decrease depending on the buyer/appraiser in question.

The value of the soul is added onto the base unit cost. For example: One unit of animite with an adventurer's soul is worth 1800 gp.

Hit Dice Soul "Type" Estimated Value

1-2 Lost Soul 200 gp

3-4 Wanderer's Soul 400 gp

5-6 Adventurer's Soul 800 gp

7-8 Nameless Soldier's Soul 1,000 gp

9-10 Warrior's Soul 2,000 gp

11-12 Brave Warrior's Soul 4,000 gp

13-14 Knight's Soul 6,000 gp

15-16 Proud Knight's Soul 8,000 gp

17-18 Hero's Soul 10,000 gp

19-20 Great Hero's Soul 25,000 gp

21-22 Lord's Soul 40,000 gp

23-24 Mighty Lord's Soul 55,000 gp

25-26 Guardian's Soul 70,000 gp

27-28 Grand Guardian's Soul 85,000 gp

29-30 Ascended Soul 100,000 gp

Souls of creatures above 30 Hit Dice are considered too powerful to be contained within a piece of animite, or may need special circumstances and magics in order to trap them - these souls are nearly priceless.

Animite pieces with souls within them can be used to cover the cost of materials for both spells and crafting equal to their estimated value - so long as the craftsman knows how to utilize it without leveling the surrounding area.*

Hit Dice	Soul "Type"	Estimated Value
1-2	Lost Soul	200 gp
3-4	Wanderer's Soul	400 gp
5-6	Adventurer's Soul	800 gp
7-8	Nameless Soldier's Soul	1,000 gp
9-10	Warrior's Soul	2,000 gp
11-12	Brave Warrior's Soul	4,000 gp
13-14	Knight's Soul	6,000 gp
15-16	Proud Knight's Soul	8,000 gp
17-18	Hero's Soul	10,000 gp
19-20	Great Hero's Soul	25,000 gp
21-22	Lord's Soul	40,000 gp
23-24	Mighty Lord's Soul	55,000 gp
25-26	Guardian's Soul	70,000 gp
27-28	Grand Guardian's Soul	85,000 gp
29-30	Ascended Soul	100,000 gp

*Explosive Working Conditions

Animite becomes a white hot liquid when super heated, and this liquid becomes highly unstable. When a piece of animite housing a soul is melted, the energies are also released.

Liquid animite deals 1 force (+ 1 aetherion damage - if a soul was within it) per second when touched, if it comes into contact with any form of magic damage, it explodes in a 20 foot radius, dealing 2d20 Force damage (+ 2d20 Aetherion damage - if a soul was within it) per gallon.

Chlorophyte

This bright, luminously glowing green stone is an enigma, A living mineral with a latent psionic frequency all it's own - this stone slowly converts dirt, mud, and stone in contact with it into more of itself; presumably through some form of virus-like regeneration, which then forms a vast network that begins to expand deep underground. Long a mystery to many scholars, sages, and mystics - they speculate it arrived to this world thousands of centuries ago when it fell from the stars. This living mineral forms a complex lattice in host materials - typically stone or similar earthen substances - and possesses only the barest glimmers of thought and cognition. Chlorophyte turns its residual psionic powers to suit the intentions of any intelligent beings in physical contact with it. A creature in physical contact with a network of chlorophyte can make use of its limited psionic properties.

Unit Cost: 2,000 gp

General: All Chlorophyte items are magical in nature, weapons gain a +1 magical bonus to attack and damage rolls, and armor gains a +1 to it's AC.

When the creature performs a skill check while holding/wearing chlorophyte or performs a tool check using a tool made of chlorophyte: The creature’s proficiency is doubled, or it adds its proficiency bonus if it is not proficient.

Weapons: When making an attack against a creature and miss the attack, you still deal damage equal to twice your proficiency bonus. The damage caused is due to the chlorophyte guiding your strike to do residual damage. Additionally, chlorophyte weapons allow the wielder to make an additional attack during their attack action - as the chlorophyte reads your movement and intentions.

Armor and Shields: When you take a hit, ignore the amount of damage equal to twice your proficiency bonus. The damage prevented is due to the chlorophyte moving/blocking for you on your behalf. Additionally, chlorophyte armor grants an additional 20 feet of movement to the wearer - as the chlorophyte follows your mental pathway.

Godstone

This supernatural, and extremely mythical stone is semi-opaque, exhibiting a plethora of multichromatic colors on it's surface, and seen within the stone itself is a sheen of misty purple and silver motes of starlight reminscent of the Astral Plane. This stone can only be found in one place naturally: The Petrified corpses of Dead Gods in the Astral Sea. The stone can only be harvested off of the remains of the gods, and not from the remnant bits that fill the Astral Void - as once it has been seperated from the main body, it begins to loose it's innate power over time. Therefore, mining it from the petrified husks is the only assured way to get it - but extremely dangerous due to the possibility of provoking the wrath of the Guardian of the Vestiges: Anubis.

Godstone is so dangerously rare - as surviving long enough to harvest it from a god-corpse and escaping Anubis' wrath are both highly unlikely. Therefore it's value is too astronomical to state. It has been known to be an essential material in successfully ascending a mortal being to godhood in some occult rituals. Godstone has all effects of animite, with it's own abilities as well:

General: All Godstone items are highly magical in nature, weapons gain a +2 magical bonus to attack and damage rolls, and armor gains a +2 to it's AC.

All items made of Godstone exhibit a strange tendency to act on their own in times of extreme duress. When a creature attempts to use an item made of Godstone to accomplish an extraordinary feat; such as make an impossible shot, survive an extremely powerful blow, or pick an unnaturally difficult lock, the item may choose to have the creature roll a 20 on the skill check, attack roll, or saving throw. This effect can't occur more than once a week. (The decision to activate this property is controlled by the DM, it generally triggers in moments of narrative climax or drama.)

Weapons: Creatures reduced to 0 HP instantly fail 1 death saving throw. Additionally, creatures killed with a Godstone weapon cannot be ressurrected by anything short of a wish spell.

Armor and Shields: Grants the wearer/wielder continuous effects of the "protection from evil and good" spell. Additionally, once a day, the wearer can utilize the godstone's power to cast "Dispel Evil and good" without maintaining concentration.

Godly Souls

As Godstone functions as animite, it has the capability to hold incredibly powerful souls within it.

Godstone has no limit as to the size of a soul it can hold in terms of the number of Hit Dice the creature may have, as according to the "Soul Within the Gem" section of animite. This makes godstone the most exotic and highly valuable material ever.

Woods

Wood

The standard form of lumber ranging anywhere between ash, ebony, oak, teak, yew, and more. Each have their own regional uses, but ultimately, are all merely the husks of the trees they were once a piece of.

Unit value: Half it's normal steel cost in gold.

Armor: Replaces the metal of any medium or heavy armor.

Armor and Shields: Replaces the metal of any medium or heavy armor, and shields.

Kirinwood

A Supernaturally tough, resilient wood, found in remote areas, and is as strong as steel. Named after a Mythical Creature said to have gifted it to humanity.

Unit Value: 250 gp

General: All Kirinwood items are ritualistically magical in nature - weapons, armor, and items are considered magical for overcoming resistance and immunity.

All Kirinwood items are immune to dissolving from all damage types except force. This does not translate to immunity or resistance for the wielder.

Weapons: Replaces the metal of weapons. Deals an additional 3 points of weapon damage on strike.

Armor and Shields: Replaces the metal of any medium or heavy armor, and shields. Ignores 3 points of damage when hit.

Aetherwood (replaces spiritual wood)

This deep, cyan-blue wood has a natural connection with the weave, seemingly infused with the essence of spirits that have perished near it's soil.

Unit value: 500 gp

General: All Aetherwood items are ritualistically magical in nature - weapons, armor, and items are considered magical for overcoming resistance and immunity.

Weapons: Replaces the metal of weapons. When targeted by a spell attack or similar magical effect, you gain a +3 "Parry" AC bonus to the attack.

Armor and Shields: Replaces the metal of any medium or heavy armor. While wearing an Aetherwood armor, you gain a +3 bonus to concentration checks to maintain a spell.

Livingwood

Living wood can be of any kind of wood, but is mostly found in the Feywild. It is a magically wet-green hardwood that does not die when cut down or shaped; may contain the spirits of dryads or fey. As strong as mithril.

Unit Value: 750 gp

General: All Livingwood items are magical in nature, weapons gain a +1 magical bonus to attack and damage rolls, and armor gains a +1 to it's AC.

All Livingwood items let the user know which way is east and west, and when it is day or night - by blooming flowers during daytime, and entering Nyctinasty (the process through which flowers close) during night. Additionally, all Livingwood items count as spellcasting foucses, and have the capabilty to cast "Goodberry" at will.

Weapons: Replaces the metal of weapons. Additionally, attacks against creatures who possess the Etherealness ability or the Incorporeal Movement ability are made with Advantage.

Armor and Shields: Replaces the metal of any medium or heavy armor, and shields. When worn, livingwood armor does not impose disadvantage on stealth checks.

Yggdraswood

The wood of the fabled world tree. This version of living wood appears as simple ash wood from a distance, but upon closer inspection, it's true nature is evident: The wood seems to shift and morph between several differing forms of tree wood, and seems to breathe on it's own.

Yggdraswood is so unbelievably rare, that just being able to locate a world tree on a world is a legendary feat in itself (there is one world tree on every world where magic exists - it remains hidden through magical means), being able to coax the tree itself into somehow shedding a living section of it is supremely mythical. Therefore it's value is too astronomical to state. Yggdraswood has all effects of livingwood, with it's own abilities as well:

General: All Yggdraswood items are highly magical in nature, weapons gain a +2 magical bonus to attack and damage rolls, and armor gains a +2 to it's AC.

All Yggdraswood items bestow upon the wearer the constant effects of the "Tongues" spell

Weapons: So long as you hold the weapon, you may cast the "Green-Flame Blade" cantrip, with no material components, equal to your level of cantrip scaling.

Armor and Shields: While donned in Yggdraswood armor, or wielding a Yggdraswood shield, it heals the wearer by 1d6 per round, even stiffling bleeding. Additionally, you become Immune to the diseased and poisoned condtions, as well as poison damage while donned in Yggdraswood.

Expanded Items

As adventurers travel, they may come across strange and foreign lands, filled with their own types of creatures, customs, denizens, magics, weapons, and more. It's clear that while some items a universally known, there are bound to be some that aren't so widespread in use.

This section expands upon the original weapons and items found with the Players Handbook, DM Guide, and Xanathar's Guide to Everything.

It also pulls items from other sources of D&D, such as from the Heroes of the Orient Guide, and many other homebrew sources.

Many of these items are also in the original source books, but are listed alongside other versions of themselves.

Armor & Shields

Clothing

These new cloaks can be of use to any adventurer without having any armor proficiency.

Dueling cloak.

Although worn, the wearer can hold the cloak in his/her off-hand to use it for defense. You can spend a bonus action to hold the cloak with one of your hands to gain the AC bonus (you can't use a shield, a two-handed weapon or any object with that hand while holding the cloak). You can only wear it with light, medium, or no armor.

Reinforced cloak.

A cloak with some metalic plates or scales around the top and the shoulders that grants some protection, used commonly by nobility, traveling merchants and wizards. You can only wear it with light, medium, or no armor

Ringed cloak.

A cloak with heavy metal rings sewed in between 2 layers of heavy fabric, these cloaks are incredibly heavy - and loud, but as a result, allow superior protection for those willing to pay. You can only wear it with light, medium, or no armor.

Light Armor

Many of these armors are variants of preexisting forms.

Cord Armor (Padded Variant)

Cord armor consists of ropelike fibers woven and knotted into a thick, tough fabric. It is typically found among more barbaric cultures or in places where leather is scarce.

Bark Armor (Leather Variant)

This Armor is crafted from the bark of trees and treated to prevent it from becoming brittle over time, and is commonly used by druids. It includes arms, legs, chest, and back protection. May sometimes include a helment resembling a round straw hat.

Reinforced Leather

Leather armor that has been reinforced with metal ribbing and braces underneath the leather itself - granting the best protection light armor can grant. Typically used by high ranking guards or militia.

Medium Armor

Many of these armors are variants of preexisting forms.

Leather Coat (Hide Variant)

A thick, lightweight, long leather jacket that helps protect the wearer, if not particularly well. Covers the arms, chest, and back, and has sections that drape down over the legs - nearly touching the ground. Sometimes has a hood.

Brigandine Armor (Chain Shirt variant)

Brigandine armor consists of a coat of leather plates, each plate consisting of leather with a strip of steel inside it. It is essentially a light form of splint mail, and is quite common in coastal culture. Favored amongst pirates.

Wood Mail (Scale Mail variant)

Overlapping Wooden plates bound together by heavy cord and rope. A favorite amongst druids and barbarians of the wilds.

Ringed Tunic (Breastplate variant)

A Ringed Tunic consists of a set of lightweight metal rings sewn onto a thick coat of durable leather - the rings are focused around the chest, shoulders and neck.

Lamellar Armor (Half Plate variant)

Lamellar Armor consists of thick, lacquered rawhide pieces with metal plates sewn on - all tied together to form a cuirass and skirt.

Scaled Plate

A set of light, overlapping metal scales - each bound to an underlay of thick cloth and leather. The scales are tied down to the wearer in such a way as to move as they do, providing defense, mobility, and stealth.

Heavy Armor

Many of these armors are variants of preexisting forms.

Banded Mail

Armor with light, horizontal strips of laminated metal sewn over a backing of a chain shirt. Still less effective than chain mail. This suit includes gauntlets.

Segmented Cuirass (Splint variant)

Also called pigeon-breast plate, is a full suit of armor - with a leather coat of large metal plates that extend over the legs of the wearer, and a breastplate that covers the chest. Also includes lightly metal plated gauntlets and boots.

Great Armor (Plate variant)

Found almost exclusively in the eastern lands, this version of plate armor consists of a corselet (covering the chest, shoulders and back), large rectangular shoulder plates, an apron of large plates covering the thighs and knees, shin guards, wrist plates, and a helmet with a facial mask.

Fortress Plate

A massive closed suit of heavily plated armor that protects the wearer with it's sheer bulk. Made of extremly thick, overlapping metal plates. Grants 10 points of damage reduction to all bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage.

Comes with a shield which is fastened onto the breastplate. As a bonus action, you can remove and carry this shield. While using the shield, the armor's AC is 18, but you gain the +2 benefit of carrying a shield.

Shields

There are multiple variations of shields, however, amongst the many types, 3 distinct versions can be seen.

Buckler (variant - Heater shield)

A small metal shield is worn strapped to your forearm. You can wield a weapon in the same hand of the buckler, but you have a -1 penalty on attack and damage rolls with the weapon in that hand.

Shield (variant - Kite shield)

The standard version of a shield, made from wood or metal and is carried in one hand.

Tower Shield (variant - Great shield)

A massive shield nearly as tall as a human. Wearing this shield reduces your speed by 5 feet. Small creatures cannot gain the AC bonus from wearing this shield. You cannot use your shield hand for anything else. Any attack made with a tower shield gains a +1 to attack and damage rolls due to it's sheer size and weight.

Weapons

Exotic Proficiency

Exotic weapons are essentially martial weapons that function in a very complex and nonstandard way - requiring special training to use effectively. Whenever you gain proficiency with a martial weapon, you may choose to instead gain proficiency in one exotic weapon of your choice that corresponds to the appropriate weapon type (ranged/melee).

Abilities, class features, feats or benefits that allow you to gain proficiency with a single martial weapon of your choice allows you to choose an exotic weapon.

New Weapon Properties

Some weapons listed here have special properties, which are explained below.

Concealed

This weapon is not initially obvious, and may be easily hidden or disguised as something else. A person attempting to locate the presence of this weapon must succeed on an Intelligence (Investigation) check opposed by a Dexterity (Stealth) or Charisma (Deception) on the part of the character with the weapon equipped. Attacks with this weapon against creatures aware of you - yet unaware of the weapon's presence - are made with advantage.

Disarm Immune

Any weapon that carries this property may not unwillingly be removed from your grasp while you remain conscious.

Double Weapon

A weapon with this property may be wielded as one weapon, or as two separate weapons both considered to be light. When wielded as one weapon, the weapon may still be one or two-handed, depending on its other properties. A weapon with this property lists two sets of damage dice with it, the first for the main hand of this weapon, the second for the off-hand, and damage on both sides of a double weapon is the same as were it wielded as a single weapon. Held as two weapons, one hand or the other may have additional properties, listed alongside their respective damage dice. Properties and magical enhancements on the weapon (aside from two-handed) apply to both halves of the double weapon, as well.

Grappling

If a weapon has this property, an attack made with this weapon against an enemy in range of the weapon or within the weapon's reach may be instead made as a grapple, dealing no damage. The grapple may be made and maintained with a weapon attack rather than a Strength (Athletics) check. If the weapon is ranged, the target's Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) checks to escape the grapple are made against the number set by the wielder's initial check, instead of a contested roll. Only one grapple may be made or maintained by a single character at any one time.

Returning

When a thrown weapon also carrying the returning property is thrown as part of an attack, it returns to its wielder at the end of their turn. The character must use their object interaction to catch the returning weapon, or it returns to the ground at the character's feet. When throwing a returning weapon, you can choose not to have it return in order to add (+5/+10) to it's short and long range, respectively.

Switch

When a weapon has this property, it has a mechanism crafted into it to transform it from one version to another. You can use your bonus action to change the weapon form to another.

CQC

A weapon with this property allows the wielder to make attacks normally with said weapon when grappling, being grappled, or prone.

Disarming

A weapon with the disarming property is specially designed to disarm an opponent. They often have hooks, curved blades, angled spikes, or wrapping chains.

If you are proficient with a disarming weapon, you have advantage on disarm checks while wielding it.

Disarming Mechanic

As per the optional rule for disarming found in the DM's handbook (pg. 271):

A creature can use a weapon attack to knock a weapon or another item from a target's grasp. The attacker makes an attack roll contested by the target's Strength (Athletics) check or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check. If the attacker wins the contest, the attack causes no damage or other ill effect, but the defender drops the item.The attacker has disadvantage on its attack roll if the target is holding the item with two or more hands. The target has advantage on its ability check if it is larger than the attacking creature, or disadvantage if it is smaller.

Firearm Properties

These weapon properties apply exclusively to the firearms in the section to come. It should be noted that all firearms are nonmagical in functionality, and unless they are enchanted pieces of weaponry, they are unaffected by antimagic and similar effects - with the exclusion of magical ammunition.

Burst

Weapons with the burst property have two additional attack options. The wielder may fire five pieces of ammunition in one attack in order to grant advantage on their attack roll. Alternately, they may use their action to fire fifteen pieces of ammunition and attack up to four targets, none of which can be more than five feet from another. Make separate attack rolls for each target, but only roll damage once for all targets.

Reload

A firearm may be shot a number of times equal to its Reload score before it must be reloaded by using either an action or a bonus action. You must have one free hand to reload a firearm — although you could use your free action to stow a weapon in your other hand before reloading.

Scatter

Make simultaneous attack rolls against all creatures in a 30-foot cone. Hits against targets adjacent to you deal double damage.

Weapon Mastery Properties

Each weapon now has a Mastery property, as shown in the weapon tables. That property is usable only by a character who has a feature (such as Weapon Mastery, that unlocks the property for the character.

The following are descriptions of each Mastery property. The properties are provided in alphabetical order. If a feature allows you to replace a weapon’s Mastery property with another one, that weapon must meet any prerequisite specified for the new property.

Cleave

Prerequisite: Melee Weapon, Heavy Property

If you hit a creature with a melee attack using this weapon, you can make an attack roll with the weapon against a second creature within 5 feet of the first that is also within your reach. On a hit, the second creature takes the weapon’s damage, but don’t add your ability modifier to that damage, unless that modifier is negative. You can make this extra attack only once per turn.

Flex

Prerequisite: Versatile Property

When you hit with a melee attack using this weapon, you deal its Versatile damage even if you’re wielding it with one hand.

Graze

Prerequisite: Melee Weapon, Heavy Property

If your attack roll with this weapon misses a creature, you can deal damage to that creature equal to the ability modifier you used to make the attack roll. This damage is the same type dealt by the weapon, and the damage can’t be increased in any way, other than increasing the ability modifier.

Nick

Prerequisite: Light Property

When you make the extra attack of the Light property, you can make it as part of the Attack action, instead of as a Bonus Action. You can still make this extra attack only once per turn.

Push

Prerequisite: Heavy, Two-Handed, or Versatile Property

If you hit a creature with this weapon, you can push the creature up to 10 feet away from you if it is no more than one size larger than you.

Sap

Prerequisite: No Other Properties

If you hit a creature with this weapon, that creature has Disadvantage on its next attack roll before the start of your next turn.

Slow

Prerequisite: None

If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, you can reduce its Speed by 10 feet until the start of your next turn. If you hit the creature more than once with this property, the Speed reduction doesn’t exceed 10 feet.

Topple

Prerequisite: Heavy, Reach, or Versatile Property

If you hit a creature with this weapon, you can force the creature to make a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to 8 + your Proficiency Bonus + the ability modifier you used to make the attack roll. On a failed save, the creature is knocked Prone.

Vex

Prerequisite: Ammo, Finesse, or Light Property

If you hit a creature with this weapon and deal damage to the creature, you have Advantage on your next attack roll against that creature before the end of your next turn.

New Weapons

simple melee weapons

Descriptions for new simple melee weapons with the special property.

Gauntlet (vairant - knuckles). A metal glove that allows you to punch and damage your enemies. When you make an unarmed strike, you deal the gauntlet damage instead. You can't use the gauntlet to attack if you're holding something in that hand.

Scythe. A piece of equipment normally used by farmers, now refitted for battle purposes. When you make an attack with the Scythe, you can choose to attack up to three creatures that are in line and at 5 feet of you. If you do so, you need to roll for each creature, and all the rolls are made with disadvantage.

Torch. A common torch, a short haft of wood with a flammable long burning wrapping at on end. A torch burns for 1 hour, providing bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet.

simple ranged weapons

Descriptions for new simple ranged weapons with the special property.

Dart, Sleeping. A dart with a small glass vial filled with sleeping liquid that is released when it enters into a creature's body. When you hit a creature with this dart, roll 4d4. This is the total hit points you affect. After dealing the dart damage, if the creature have equal or less hit points than the total, the creature falls unconscious for 1 hour or until the sleeper takes damage, or someone uses an action to shake or slap the sleeper awake. You must keep the dart in the creature's body, otherwise it awakes after 1 minute. When you hit a creature, the glass vial is shattered to release the liquid.

Grappling Hook. A 4 pron hook attached to a rope that is typically used for climbing and scaling tall objects or obstacles. Can be used as a low-damage weapon to impose the "grappling" property on a creature.

When tied to the end of a rope, a grappling hook can secure the rope to a battlement, window ledge, tree limb, or other protrusion - allows a climbing speed equal to half your walking speed while utilizing it.

martial melee weapons

Descriptions for new martial melee weapons with the special property.

Claw (variant - punching daggers). This wrist bracer has attached to it a set of sparp, bladed metal claws. When you make an unarmed strike, you deal the claw damage instead. You can't use another item in a hand that is wielding a claw.

Greatspear. This heavy spear is made out of a thick solid shaft of wood, with a heavy spearhead and a counterweight pommel at the base. You can throw this greatspear - but only by using both hands to spin it about your body and hurl it.

martial ranged weapons

Descriptions for new martial melee weapons with the special property.

Greatbow (vairant - yumi). An exceptionally tall longbow, often surpassing the height of the archer. Typically has an asymmetric design in which the hand is placed one-third the height from the lower tip. This allows the bow to be fired from a kneeling position or from horseback.

When using this weapon to attack a target within 50 feet, you have disadvantage on the attack roll.

Firearm Weapons

firearm melee weapons

Descriptions for the new firearm melee weapons and their special properties.

Bayonet. A bayonet is a blade or spike designed to fit on the muzzle of a firearm. Its purpose is to serve as a last resort melee weapon. Usage of a bayonet is important in determining its damage — if attached to a one-handed weapon, it may only use the one-handed damage. If attached to a two-handed firearm, it is used as a versatile weapon.

If used on its own, unattached to a firearm, a bayonet uses the stastics of a dagger.

Sawtooth Blade. A sawtooth blade is a particularly sinister form of a bayonet, albeit, longer, and more devastating. These saber-shaped blades function just as a bayonet would, except they can only be affixed to a two-handed firearm.

If used on it's own, unattached to a firearm, a sawtooth blade uses the statistics of a scimitar.

Gunpowder, in my world?

The existence of gunpowder - or it's equivalent (such as blast powder, dwarven dust, etc.) - is at your DM's discretion, and even if the existence of gunpowder is in play, it is up to them to decide the level of technological development alongside it.

A few examples of possible settings where it would be ideal include:

A Steampunk, Industrial, Victorian, or similar setting where steam and gunpowder are driving forces.

A "Dishonored" feel, of video game fame, with whale oil and supernatural overtones of a Dystopian setting.

A Historical - Wild West/Pirate approach, where technology advances slowly, and spreads out even slower.

Any combination of the aforementioned.

firearm ranged weapons

Descriptions for the new firearm ranged weapons and their special properties.

All firearms utilize ammunition.

Flintlock Pistol. The first kind of pistol that didn’t require using an manual fire source, these are muzzle-loading, single shot pistols. They are simple to build and perhaps the most common firearm around.

Pistol. A slight upgrade from the flintlock, this pistol has two barrels stacked on top of each other and is more reliable. They are a common sight with guards and soldiers in some areas.

Revolver. Considered by many the pinnacle of gunpowder handguns, revolvers use rotating chambers with a single barrel. They are reliable, easier to clean and reload, and can fire six times before reloading. Their mechanical complexity, however, can sometimes make them difficult to find or afford.

Howdah Pistol. Designed specifically for killing large game, howdah pistols are large-caliber handguns that pack a massive punch. They are breach-loaded but single-shot, trading capacity for power.

Musket. A flintlock rifle that uses steel on flint to set off the powder charge within. It is still slow to load, but has good range, packs a big punch, and weighs fairly light.

Blunderbuss. A single barreled conical rifle, this firearm is front loaded with any form of ammunition one can get their hands on - but still requires gunpowder to function.

Shotgun. Shotguns have two barrels, are breach-loaded, and are set off by a hammer instead of a flintlock. They are reliable and hit with excruciating force, and this extra bit of craftsmanship generally makes them more expensive as well.

Lever-Action Rifle. The rare product of master gunsmiths, lever-action rifles keep extra rounds in a tubular magazine under the barrel, and each new cartridge is loaded by using the lever that’s part of the trigger guard. They are intricate and difficult to build, making them prized and deadly possessions of those lucky enough to own one.

Hunting Rifle. More sophisticated than a musket, a hunting rifle is a breech-loader and fires cartridges. Its long range makes it popular with hunters and marksmen, although they are not as common or cheap as muskets.

Sniper Rifle. Sniper rifles are essentially hunting rifles that have been machined to a higher degree of precision and quality. This results in better range, damage, but also more weight and skill to craft, and they can often be very difficult to find.

Battle Cannon. Requires a Strength score of 15 to effectively wield. This firearm is a miniature version of the standard ship mounted cannon, carried with both hands into battle, these weapons instill massive fear in heavily fortified areas due to their potential firepower. While not exceedingly difficult to craft, carrying one requires both disciplined strength and a belted body harness to balance the excess bulk.

Gatling Gun. A large, lever-cranked, multi-barreled weapon that can be fired rapidly, gatling guns are usually mounted on wagons or carried via complicated leather harnesses. They are exceedingly intricate, deadly, and expensive to build, making them rare finds in most locations.

Steam-Powered Weapons?

Yes, even in settings where gunpowder can be found, with the presence of magic and artificers comes a certain freedom of technological expression.

The following firearms seek to add more of a steampunk & magical flair to the existing firearms - these firearms are not necessarily magical, but could have been created by a mage or artificer that delved a little too far into the power that steam and pressure could grant.

Steambolt Firearms

Steambolt firearms are presumed to be either the inventions of an absolute madman of a mage, or a truly ingenious artificer that made a groundbreaking discovery - or both.

Combining pressurized steam systems in an air-tight, metal - typically bronze and cast iron - chamber, these firearms have the capability to propel projectiles at insane speeds - without the use of gunpowder - as such, all steambolt weaponry is seen with much fascination, as well as fear of their deadly capabilities - and not at all cheap, being as expensive as some fairly rare magical items.

Almost all Steambolt weapons are semi-bolt action. Meaning they each have a lever operated opening to secure the slug in an air-tight chamber - the only exception being the blunderbuss, which functions as a front-loading cannon.

Steambolt Pistol. A small, yet fairly heavy, pistol that can fire rifled slugs at a great distance. Common amongst artificers and thugs.

Steambolt Carbine. A Short stock, medium barreled rifle, this carbine rifle is the perfect in between from the pistol to the rifle. Favored by some guardsmen and hunters.

Steambolt Blunderbuss. Often called the "Steam Cannon", this steambolt firearm is different than it's brothers, in that it is entirely front-loaded, and will utilize any form of ammunition - even things that are not typical ammunition - so long as it fits in the barrel. Very appreciated by those who don't care for conventional ammo - such as pirates.

Steambolt Longrifle. An incredibly long, nearly 5 foot barreled rifle, this behemoth of a firearm is used for long distance shots or against incredibly large creatures. A formidable sight, as it's presence indicates a skilled marksman. Known to be used by assassin's and skilled fighters.

Exotic Weapons

exotic melee weapons

Descriptions for the new exotic melee weapons and their special properties.

Bladed Fan. This weapon appears to the untrained eye as nothing more than a hand fan. In fact, the vanes of the fan are crafted from steel, and the tips are needle-sharp; very suitable for stabbing, and often used by geisha who operate as spies.

Spiked Chain. A spiked chain is a length of metal chain whose last few links on each end are enlarged and enhanced with spikes. The length and size of links should be proportional to the size of the wielder for best performance. At the half-way point of the chain and/or the midpoints of the two halves, a link of the chain is often replaced with a ring for grasping.

Chakram. The chakram is a throwing disk or quoit about 1 foot in diameter, with a sharpened outer rim. It is exceedingly rare to find, and even harder to find a wielder trained in it.

Dagger, Boot-toe. You wield this weapon without the use of a hand, instead using the foot the dagger is affixed to. You may only make one attack on your turn when attacking with this weapon.

Dagger, Wrist. A fine weapon made for Assassins and Marauders to execute their operations with the utmost stealth, this weapon is attached to the arm of the person which keeps it hidden from plain sight. It uses a spring loaded dagger and dartgun as it's main armaments.

This Weapon has 2 forms:

Dagger form (melee). - While utilizing this weapon in this form, you deal 1d4 piercing damage on a hit.
Dart form (ranged). - While utilizing this weapon in this form, you deal 1d4 piercing damage on a hit.

Garrote. A Garrote is nothing more than a thin wire, usually with a handle on either side. While not effective in open combat, a successful attack with a garrote grapples a target, the target continues to take the weapon’s damage each round while grappled. A target grappled by a garrote must make a constitution save against your attack roll each round, subtracting the total damage dealt by the garrote from their save. After three successive failures, the target falls unconscious.

Jian shortsword. A very light & flexible double-edged straight sword, typically with a tassel attached to the pommel.

Wielding this shortsword while proficient in it allows you to add a +1 bonus to your AC as a reaction to incoming melee attacks - this stacks with other forms of parry or block.

Khopesh blade. The khopesh is a slashing sword with an axe-like curve and a hooked tip. Known for disarming capabilities.

Kusari-Gama. A kusari-gama is a length of chain with a particularly sharp sickle-like pick at one end, designed especially for battle, rather than as a farming tool.

The blade deals slashing damage, while the chain deals bludgeoning damage and has the reach property.

Shield, Throwing. This round, metal edged shield is strapped to your forearm with a length of elastic leather wrapped up your arm and gripped with your hand. With an attack action, a proficient wielder can fling the shield at an enemy, and reel it back in.

The user retains the +2 AC bonus from the standard shield, but if thrown, they lose the AC bonus until the shield returns.

This Weapon has 2 forms:

Shield Bash (melee). - While utilizing this weapon in this form, you deal 1d8 bludgeoning damage on a hit.
Shield Throw (ranged). - While utilizing this weapon in this form, you deal 1d8 bludgeoning damage on a hit.

Sword, Cane. A sturdy reinforced wooden cane that typically has an intricate design. It conceals a blade similar to that of a bladed rapier. A favorite of nobility and spies alike. When unsheathing this weapon, the sword and cane may both be wielded in separate hands. The cane itself functions as an intricate club.

This Weapon has 2 forms:

Cane. - While utilizing the weapon in this form, you deal 1d4 bludgeoning damage on a hit.
Sword. - While utilizing the weapon in this form, you deal 1d8 slashing damage on a hit.

Sword, Two-Bladed. The double sword is a polearm with a wooden haft with a broad blade at each tip. The weapon might also be known as a double scimitar or twin blade.

exotic ranged weapons

Descriptions for the new exotic ranged weapons and their special properties.

Atlatl. The atlatl is a leverage based weapon. It may consist of a shaft with a cup or a spur at the end that supports and propels the butt of the ammunition. It is held in one hand, gripped near the end farthest from the cup. The projectile is thrown by the action of the upper arm and wrist. The throwing arm together with the atlatl acts as a lever.

When you make a ranged weapon attack with an atlatl, you use your Strength, rather than Dexterity, for attack and damage rolls. The Atlatl utilizes javelins as it's main form of ammunition.

Bola. A bola consists of a length of cord with weights on each end or three to six weights tied to a center point. When thrown, it can grapple a target. May also be used as a basic flail.

Boomerang. A boomerang is a thrown weapon, typically constructed as a flat aerofoil, that is designed to spin about an axis perpendicular to the direction of its flight. Many boomerangs are made to return to the person who threw them.

Crossbow, Bladed. This crossbow appears as a typical crossbow with an under-rail concealing an extendable blade. You fold the crossbow arms inwards to extend the blade, creating a makeshift shortsword.

This Weapon has 2 forms:

Crossbow Form (ranged). - While utilizing this weapon in this form, you deal 1d8 piercing damage on a hit.
Shortsword Form (melee). - While utilizing this weapon in this form, you deal 1d6 piercing damage on a hit.

Crossbow, Repeating. This lever-activated crossbow utilizes an integral cartridge to rapidly shower a foe with missiles. It may hold up to six bolts at once and doesn't require any sort of action to reload.

It automatically reloads after firing until the cartridge runs out of ammunition. Reloading the cartridge takes an action.

Due to it's construction, it has a shorter range, but a greater rate of fire.

Gunblade. A Gunblade is, in essence, a revolver with a blade extending from the barrel of the gun - flawlessly fused together. These weapons are incredibly rare - and are considered exotic even amongst firearms, but yields the option of multitasking in combat.

This weapon has 2 forms:

Blade (melee). - While utilizing this weapon in this form, you deal 1d10 slashing damage on a hit.
Revolver (ranged 40/120). - While utilizing this weapon in this form, you deal 2d8 piercing damage on a hit.

Unlike most double weapons, you may also choose to fire as you attack to add additional power to the swing:

Gunblade Discharge. (Requires two attack actions) - While making a melee attack, you may choose to expend 1 bullet and cause your melee attack to deal 1d10 slashing damage, and make a ranged attack at a target adjacent to you within short range of the gunblade.

You cannot attach an additional bayonet or sawtooth blade onto this firearm.

Musketballs. A simple ball of lead, paired with a dose of black powder when loaded into a firearm. Although the ball and powder are technically two separate items, they’re mechanically treated as one for the sake of simplicity. For use in simple firearms; flintlocks and muskets

Rifled Slugs. A smooth, solid metal slug with a slight spiral pattern etched into it's surface. Used almost exclusively for steambolt weaponry

Alchemical Ammo

Each of these subtypes of ammo can be applied to the ammunition available for each weapon. They are considered non-magical, and are alchemical in construction - typically via a glass vial, a hollow shaft, or similar method.

These damage amounts are the max any alchemical application can deal - without being magical.

Bombs

These spherical canisters are typically made from thin iron or similar metals and contain ingredients meant to create certain alchemical reactions. They can only be used once, and each bomb weighs 1 pound.

Smoke. A canister of oily herbs - when lit, the bomb violently exerts a cloud of heavily obscuring smoke that expands outwards to fill a 30-foot radius. This smoke lasts for 2 minutes, or until dispersed by heavy wind. The smoke can be colored as desired when created.

Fire. These bombs are filled with a mixture of oils, dusts, and dragontongue petals - which are lit aflame by a fuse with a bottle of alchemists fire with gunpowder in the center of the bomb. Once lit, the bomb explodes in a 10-foot radius, with a brilliant display of fire - Creatures in the area who fail a Dexterity save (DC 13) Are dealt 4d6 fire damage. - or half on save.

Fragmentation. Filled with all manner of metal fragments, caltrops, and arrowheads - the fuse leads to a thick gunpowder sack in the center of the bomb. Once lit, the bomb explodes outwards in a 20-foot radius, with a heavy array of shrapnel in all directions - Creatures in the area who fail a Dexterity save (DC 13) Are dealt 1d6 fire damage. and 3d6 piercing damage - or half on save.

Impact Grenades

These small urns typically made of terracotta, clay, or other fragile yet sturdy material, house simple ingredients to perform basic alchemical functions. To use them, an impact against a solid surface is necessary. They can only be used once.

Dust. Filled with nothing but irritating, finely ground dust particles, this impact grenade will cause the target to be blinded until the end of it's next turn if it fails on a Constitution save (DC 13).

Flashpowder. A step up from a dust grenade, this grenade is filled with a mixture of phosphorus, flash moss, and flint particles - throwing this on the ground or at a target produces a very bright flash of light that blinds all creatures in a 10-foot radius who can see it and fail a Constitution save (DC 13) until the end of it's next turn.

Noise. On impact the grenade creates a short sound depending on what kind of noise grenade you throw.

Shatter - imitates shattering glass.
Whisper - imitates indistinct dialogue.
Scream - imitates a quick fearful scream.
Thunder - releases a loud thundering boom.

Poison Smoke. A grenade with alchemist's fire surrounded by poisonous herbs - this grenade bursts into a cloud of vile, stinking smoke. The cloud spreads to a radius of 10 feet from the fire source, and has the effect of the "stinking cloud" spell. All who fail a Constitution save (DC 13) begin retching and reeling.

Vanishing Smoke. On impact the bomb creates a 10-foot-radius sphere of smoke centered on the point of impact. This sphere is temporary. The sphere spreads around corners.

1 Round - Area is heavily obscured.
2 Rounds - Area becomes lightly obscured
3 Rounds - Visibility restored.

A wind of moderate speed (at least 10 miles per hour) immediately disperses the smoke.

Other Adventuring Equipment

Things such as kegs, powderhorns, alchemists fire, acid, and other things necessary for survival in a battle-rich world. The things listed are used in offensive ways, typically as makeshift weaponry or essential tools for survival.

Some of these items may be too technologically advanced for some D&D settings.

Acid. As an action, you can splash the contents of this vial onto a creature within 5 feet of you or throw the vial up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. In either case, make a ranged Attack against a creature or object, treating the acid as an Improvised Weapon. On a hit, the target takes acid damage equal to it's potency:

Acid Potency	Damage
Common	2d6 acid damage
Potent	4d6 acid damage
Powerful	6d6 acid damage
Concentrated	8d6 acid damage

Alchemist's Fire. This sticky, adhesive fluid ignites when exposed to air. As an action, you can throw this flask up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. Make a ranged Attack against a creature or object, treating the Alchemist's Fire as an Improvised Weapon. On a hit, the target takes fire damage equal to it's potency at the start of each of its turns. A creature can end this damage by using its action to make a corresponding Dexterity check to extinguish the flames.

Alchemical Fire Potency	Damage	Extinguish DC
Common	1d4 fire damage	DC 10
Potent	2d4 fire damage	DC 12
Powerful	3d4 fire damage	DC 14
Concentrated	4d4 fire damage	DC 16

Ball Bearings. As an action, you can spill these tiny metal balls from their pouch to cover a level, square area that is 10 feet on a side. A creature moving across the covered area must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity saving throw or fall prone. A creature moving through the area at half speed doesn’t need to make the save.

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.

Caltrops. As an action, you can spread a bag of Caltrops to cover a square area that is 5 feet on a side. Any creature that enters the area must succeed on a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw or stop moving this turn and take 1 piercing damage. Taking this damage reduces the creature’s walking speed by 10 feet until the creature regains at least 1 hit point. A creature moving through the area at half speed doesn’t need to make the save.

Compass. This handheld mechanical device has a pointer always pointing north. Wisdom (Survival) checks made to determine location and direction using a compass are made with advantage.

Goggles. A pair of tinted goggles that can block out the soot, sand and wind while traveling or protect the vision of the wearer from smoke, sparks and other hazards. They also help your character look the part. All saving throws made against being blinded are made with a +3 bonus.

Grapple Gun. This wooden firearm is equipped with a high-tensile spring and set of ballistic wire to load a grappling hook into it's frame. As an action, you can launch a grappling hook and set of rope up to 100 feet. It can be used to reel or give slack, allowing the user to climb up or down the length of the rope at the user's full movement speed. Requires a free hand to use. The gun can support up to 1,000 lbs of weight.

Gunpowder. Gunpowder is chiefly used to propel a bullet out of the barrel of a pistol or rifle, or it is formed into a bomb. Gunpowder is sold in small wooden kegs and in water-resistant powder horns, and sometimes in small pouches called "charges."

Charge - A Small leather pouch full of 10 doses of gunpowder. This can be lit on fire to make a minor explosion of a 5 foot radius. Creatures within that area must make a Dexterity save (DC 13) or be dealt 1d6 fire damage. - or half on a save.
Powderhorn - Often hung on a leather strap for easy portability, a gunpowder horn holds up to 100 doses of gunpowder. This can be lit on fire to make a moderate explosion of a 10 foot radius. Creatures within that area must make a Dexterity save (DC 13) or be dealt 3d6 fire damage - or half on a save.
Keg - Less portable than a horn, a gunpowder keg holds up to 1000 doses of gunpowder and is often transported via mount or wagon. This can be lit on fire to make a major explosion of a 15 foot radius. Creatures within that area must make a Dexterity save (DC 13) or be dealt 7d6 fire damage - or half on a save.

Holy Water. As an action, you can splash the contents of this flask onto a creature within 5 feet of you or throw it up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. In either case, make a ranged Attack against a target creature, treating the Holy Water as an Improvised Weapon. If the target is a fiend or Undead, it takes 2d6 radiant damage. A Cleric or Paladin may create Holy Water by performing a Special ritual. The ritual takes 1 hour to perform, uses 25 gp worth of powdered silver, and requires the caster to expend a 1st-level spell slot.

Hunting Trap. When you use your action to set it, this trap forms a saw-toothed steel ring that snaps shut when a creature steps on a pressure plate in the center. The trap is affixed by a heavy chain to an immobile object, such as a tree or a spike driven into the ground. A creature that steps on the plate must succeed on a DC 13 Dexterity saving throw or take 1d4 piercing damage and stop moving. Thereafter, until the creature breaks free of the trap, its Movement is limited by the length of the chain (typically 3 feet long). A creature can use its action to make a DC 13 Strength check, freeing itself or another creature within its reach on a success. Each failed check deals 1 piercing damage to the trapped creature.

Lighter. A lighter holds a small amount of a flammable oil ignited by a flint striking metal. Its flame lights a 5- foot area as a candle does but it burns for 3 hours. A single flask of oil can refill two lighters.

Matches. An alchemical substance on the end of this small, wooden stick ignites when struck against a rough surface. Creating a flame with a match is much faster than creating a flame with flint and steel (or a magnifying glass) and tinder, although not as fast as with a lighter.

Oil. Oil is a highly flammable liquid that is used for anything from lamps, to bombs. Oil usually comes in 3 forms: a clay flask that holds 1 pint, a bottle that holds 5 pints, or a keg that holds 10 pints.

Flask - As an action, you can splash the oil in this flask onto a creature within 5 feet of you or throw it up to 20 feet, shattering it on impact. Make a ranged Attack against a target creature or object, treating the oil as an Improvised Weapon. On a hit, the target is covered in oil. If the target takes any fire damage before the oil dries (after 1 minute), the target takes an additional 5 fire damage from the burning oil. You can also pour a flask of oil on the ground to cover a 5-foot radius area, provided that the surface is level. If lit, the oil burns for 2 rounds and deals 5 fire damage to any creature that enters the area or ends its turn in the area. A creature can take this damage only once per turn.
Bottle - Same as with the flask, but the damage increases to 10 fire damage, and the radius is 10-feet. Additionally, the time for the oil to dry increases to 5 minutes - due to the amount of oil.
Keg - Same as with the flask, but the damage increases to 15 fire damage, and the radius is 15-feet. Additionally, the time for the oil to dry increases to 10 minutes - due to the amount of oil

Parachute. This giant sheet of silken canvas is secured by silk rope to a backpack. As a reaction the wearer can launch the Parachute, and reduce the fall speed of the wearer to 40ft a round. While the parachute is deployed, your movement speed is halved as it drags behind you. It takes 10 minutes to pack up the parachute, or you may unhitch it as an action.

Once the wearer lands they must perform a DC 13 Dexterity (Acrobatics) check to land safety. On a failure the wearer lands prone and takes 1d10 bludgeoning damage. On a success the wearer lands on their feet and takes 0 damage.

Pocket Watch. A circular device stored in a metal case used to provide the exact time of day, linked to a chain that is stored in a waist pocket of a jacket or vest. For double the listed price, the watch may also be able to be waterproofed and provide the elevation of the wearer.

Photographic Camera. A handheld metallic and ceramic device with a protruding glass lens on the front. It is used to capture a static image of what is in the view of the lens onto a plate.

Photo Plate - A metal plate that holds a special paper used to capture what is exposed by the photographic camera lens. The captured image provides an accurate depiction of what opening the lens revealed, but without color. To develop a photo plate you must be proficient with alchemist's supplies and spend 10 minutes in a dark area.

Poison, basic. You can use the poison in this vial to coat one slashing or piercing weapon or up to three pieces of Ammunition. Applying the poison takes an action. A creature hit by the Poisoned weapon or Ammunition must make a DC 10 Constitution saving throw or take 1d4 poison damage. Once applied, the poison retains potency for 1 minute before drying.

Ram, Portable. You can use a Portable ram to break down doors. When doing so, you gain a +4 bonus on the Strength check. One other character can help you use the ram, giving you advantage on this check.

Rebreather Mask. This leather and hide mask is fitted with a paper and silken filter on the frontside of the mouth. As an action, you can don or doff the rebreather mask, which is affixed tightly to the mouth and nose, with a pair of semi-opaque glass lenses over the eyes. While wearing the mask, you are immune to inhaled toxins, diseases and poisons. You have disadvantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks based on sight and smell while wearing the mask.

The paper and silk filter on the gas mask allows the mask to be used for a cumulative time of 8 hours. After the 8 hours has been used up, the filter must be replaced, which costs 25 gp.

Tinderbox. This small container holds flint, fire steel, and tinder (usually dry cloth soaked in light oil) used to kindle a fire. Using it to light a torch—or anything else with abundant, exposed fuel—takes an action. Lighting any other fire takes 1 minute.

Tool/Utility Belt. A sturdy reinforced leather belt with numerous covered pockets and fitted loops to hold small tools and supplies, making it easy to keep about 15 pounds of additional items on hand - so long as they are tools or equipment.

Torch. A torch burns for 1 hour, providing bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. If you make a melee Attack with a burning torch and hit, it deals 1 fire damage.

Additional Tools

With a world full of alchemical and material wonders - and with the presence of firearms - additional tools exist to fulfill niche jobs and services.

Tools

Item	Cost	Weight
Gunkit	50 gp.	10 lb.
Investigator's Supplies	25 gp	8 lb.

Gunkit. This kit includes a variety of small hand tools - including pliers, a rotary tool, metal files, a vial of oil, and a hammer. The kit holds everything needed to clean a gun, repair a misfire, remove a stuck bullet, and cast new ammunition (provided a heat source is nearby).

Investigator's Supplies. This slim metalbound leather case holds the tools and components necessary to collect and analyze evidence in the field. Its contents include materials such as clean containers, small vials, labels, thin leather gloves, finger print powders, tweezers and swabs.

Poisons & Toxins

Given their insidious and deadly nature, poisons are illegal in most societies but are a favorite tool among assassins, drow, marauders, and other creatures of a morally ambiguous nature.

Poisons can be extracted from a variety of flora and fauna; however, convincing an alchemist or herbalist to do so is sure to rouse suspicion - unless they fully support your actions, such as an assassin's guild herbalist, a necromancer, or a sinister alchemist.

Some poisons are regarded as legal in many cases due to their effective nature or their particular usage - but this is a regional stipulation, a poison regarded as legal in one region or city may still be illegal elsewhere.

Poisons come in the following types.

Contact. 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. You might 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 they are inhaled. A single dose fills a 5-foot cube.

Injury. A creature that takes slashing or piercing damage from a weapon or piece of ammunition coated with injury poison is exposed to its effects.

Multitype. These poisons are multifunctional - meaning they can be applied through various means.

Aboleth Oil

Aboleth oil is impossibly rare, and incredibly dangerous. Coming into contact with it accidentally can quickly spell death for most creatures.

Acquisition: This poison must be harvested from a recently dead or incapacitated aboleth. It requires no further preparation.
Market Value: 2,500gp
Legality: Illegal
Saving Throw DC: 14
Effect: A creature subjected to this oil must make a Constitution saving throw or become diseased. The disease has no effect for 1 minute and can be removed by any magic that cures disease, but the creature is unaware that they have been affected. After 1 minute, the diseased creature's skin becomes translucent and slimy, the creature can't regain hit points unless it is underwater, and the disease can be removed only by heal or another disease-curing spell of 6th level or higher. When the creature is outside a body of water, it takes 6 (1d12) acid damage every 10 minutes unless moisture is applied to the skin before 10 minutes have passed.

Black Ivy Paste

Black ivy is rare, but extremely poisonous. Its leaves can be ground into a thin paste and spread upon surfaces to injure those that touch it.

Acquisition: This poison is ground from the leaves of the rare black ivy plant.
Market Value: 200gp
Legality: Illegal
Saving Throw DC: 16
Effect: A creature subjected to this poison must make a Constitution saving throw or take 3 (1d6) poison damage. The paste retains its potency until a total of at least 10 damage has been dealt.

Boneshard Paste

This relatively uncommon positoxin is typically spread upon surfaces in entryways to buildings or rooms in order to protect against undead intrusion. It has a pale color that allows it to blend in to light-colored surfaces.

Acquisition: Boneshard paste is made by mixing the cremated remains of a holy person with holy water, and then allowing the mixture to dry in a place of religious importance, like a temple.
Market Value: 750gp
Legality: Legal
Saving Throw DC: 13
Effect: An undead creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute, also taking 18 (4d8) radiant damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. The creature's speed is reduced to 0 until the end of their next turn. 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.

Brawler's Bourbon

Brawler's bourbon is a favorite among fighters that don't mind cheating. It looks, tastes, and smells like regular bourbon whiskey, but actually contains a rather potent poison. It has a unique property: ingesting a dose of the poison gives immunity to its effects for 24 hours. Clever cheats will typically take a swig before a fight and accidentally spill some on their hands, delivering a dose with a swift punch to exposed skin. It does not wash off with water.

Acquisition: Brawler's bourbon is made from a narcotic plant called night maize.
Market Value: 175gp
Legality: Illegal
Saving Throw DC: 12
Effect: A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or be poisoned for 1 minute. 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.

Chuul Paralytic

Chuul paralytic isn't widely desired because crawler mucus does the same thing for much cheaper, but chuul paralytic is easier to modify and more difficult to treat.

Acquisition: This poison must be harvested from a dead or incapacitated chuul. It requires no further preparation.
Market Value: 450gp
Legality: Regulated
Saving Throw DC: 13
Effect: A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a 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.

Crawler Mucus

Crawler mucus comes from the oversized insects known as carrion crawlers. Carrion crawlers lurk in caves, abandoned underground structures, and sometimes sewers, always drawn to the scent of death and its next meal.

Acquisition: This poison must be harvested from a dead or incapacitated crawler. It requires no further preparation.
Market Value: 200gp
Legality: Regulated
Saving Throw DC: 13
Effect: A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a 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.

Goodbye Kiss

Some would-be assassins seem much friendlier than they really are. The goodbye kiss is a poison modified from midnight tears so that it can be applied to the lips without harming the poisoner. The poisoner must first coat the area of their skin that will come in contact with the poison in the nectar of the flower that midnight tears are made from.

Acquisition: The goodbye kiss requires midnight tears and a rare liquid made from the nectar of the same flower: the blackleaf rose.
Market Value: 1,600gp
Legality: Illegal
Saving Throw DC: 17
Effect: A creature subjected to 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 Constitution saving throw, taking 31 (9d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Golden Ice

Golden ice is a specialized poison used by good-aligned creatures for a variety of purposes. The nature of the ice allows it to be shaped into a variety of objects: coins, ammunition, and anything else the creative owner might imagine. Evil creatures often mistake it for a gold coin, only to pick it up and realize their mistake.

Acquisition: This is made by mixing cryrium and molten gold. The extremely hot mixture is then quenched in holy oil.
Market Value: 1,200gp
Legality: Legal
Saving Throw DC: 17
Effect: An evil creature that comes into contact with golden ice must make a Constitution saving throw or take 30 (12d4) cold damage. This damage bypasses all resistances and immunities.

Oil of Taggit

This oil used to be used in many medical applications, but its widespread misuse has caused it to be heavily regulated in most civilizations.

Acquisition: The oil of taggit is harvested from the nectar of taggit bloom, but, due to it's scarcity, the best way to acquire the oil is on the black market.
Market Value: 400gp
Legality: Regulated
Saving Throw DC: 13
Effect: A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 24 hours. The poisoned creature is unconscious. The creature wakes up if it takes damage.

Sunlight Oil

Sunlight oil was originally crafted by clerics of sun gods seeking to combat a vampire outbreak, but has since become the primary choice for fighting any form of powerful undead. Sunlight oil will lose its potency if it is not exposed to direct sunlight for 24 hours.

Acquisition: It is made from oil that has been blessed by the clergy of the sun god and infused with the sun's magic. The blessed oil must either have the daylight spell cast upon it every day at dusk for a month, or have the full duration of the sunbeam spell channeled into it.
Market Value: 1,300gp
Legality: Legal
Saving Throw DC: 18
Effect: An undead creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 27 (6d8) radiant damage and be blinded until the end of the beginning of your next turn (6 seconds if out of combat).

On a subsequent failed save, their Constitution score is decreased by 2, but cannot be reduced past 1. These scores can only be restored by the greater restoration spell or similar magic.

Depraved Decadence

There exists a special type of acid with unique properties that allow it to be modified to ignore certain types of material. This acid once reached the hands of extremely evil poisoners that then modified it to cause slow, painful death by starvation. Using this poison is considered cruel even by the standards of most assassins.

Acquisition: The recipe for this poison is rare, as is knowledge of where to find the proper ingredients. One must find a particularly cruel poisoner that might know the truth behind it, or be willing to sell doses.
Market Value: 9,500gp

Acquisition: This poison can be crafted from the Blackleaf Rose. The leaves of this flower can be ground into a fine paste and dissolved into liquid, leaving behind no color, odor, or taste.
Market Value: 1,500gp
Legality: Illegal

Effect: 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 Constitution saving throw, taking 31 (9d6) poison damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one.

Mother's Mercy

This toxin looks like, tastes like, and has the texture of cow's milk. Those affected by the toxin slowly lose all bodily strength until they are left unconscious, eventually dying peacefully and without pain.

Acquisition: This poison comes from the stems of the Mother Tulip.
Market Value: 600gp
Legality: Regulated
Saving Throw DC: 13
Effect: A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a Constitution saving throw, becoming poisoned on a failed save, and must repeat the saving throw at the start of each of its turns. While poisoned in this way, the creature's Constitution score decreases by 2. On each successive failed save, the creature's Constitution score is further reduced by 1. If a creature's Constitution score is reduced to 0 in this way, it dies. After two successful saves, the poison ends and the creature's Constitution score is restored.

Nightmare Root

Nightmare root comes from a plant deep within the abyss. When ground into a paste, it can be mixed into food or drink without significantly altering its taste, color, or odor, but it does add the texture of fine sand. Those that consume the root find themselves haunted by the greatest fears upon falling asleep.

Market Value: 1,450gp
Legality: Illegal
Saving Throw DC: 19
Effect: A creature subjected to this poison must make a Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature's sleep is haunted with a combination of their greatest fears and everything they've ever done wrong. An affected creature cannot benefit from long rests, and therefore gains a point of exhaustion at the beginning of the next day. The poison leaves the creature's system 24 hours after ingestion.

Pale Tincture

This milky liquid is the primary choice of cruel manipulators that often use it to coerce favors out of unwilling acquaintances. The poison is introduced unknowingly, and slowly chips away at the victim's vitality, always threatening a slow and painful death. The promise of a cure is enough to make most people do things that they would otherwise avoid.

Acquisition: This poison is crafted by distilling Olina petals down into a milky liquid.
Market Value: 250gp
Legality: Illegal
Saving Throw DC: 16
Effect: A creature subjected to this poison must succeed on a 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.

Acquisition: One must first find or acquire a solution that contains the creatures necessary for this mixture.

Betrayer's Inception (Contact or Ingested)

This poison is a thin liquid that can be applied to any surface, adhering to it until it comes into contact with organic matter, which it quickly seeps into. It is clear, nearly invisible, and odorless, but can be easily identified by agitating the liquid in any way, which causes it to flash violently with varying hues of light. Due to its use in bringing down many nobles and royalty in past generations, it has been banned in nearly every established civilization.

Tears of the Infernal (Contact or Injury)

This poison is incredibly rare and incredibly dangerous to handle. Putting it in a vial that isn't correctly prepared will melt the glass, and attempting to apply it to weapons that lack magical protection will cause extreme pitting on the metal, often melting right through it. The safest way to handle it is with tools, containers, and vials lined with or made from pure copper.

Acquisition: Tears of the infernal are a precise mixture of the preserved blood of a powerful fiend and the acid extracted from the glands of an adult black or copper dragon, which is then heated until it becomes a thin, black, viscous liquid.

Until this poison ends, the damage the poison deals can’t be healed by any means. After three successful saving throws, the effect ends and the creature can heal normally.

Void's Blood (Contact, Ingested, Inhaled, or Injury)

The flower known as the black lotus is legendary - even amongst the gods. Its properties allow it to be used for a number of purposes: from fulfilling wishes, becoming one with the energies of other planes, and being used in high magic spells. But creating a poison out of the nectar is one of many uses.

The nectar is not inherently dangerous on it's own, but when distilled with a number of highly rare ingredients and dangerous reagents, it becomes the most deadly and volatile substance imaginable - so much so, that it's destructive capability and propensity to absolutely destroy a being - body, mind, and soul - has not only outlawed it in almost every kingdom, but also most worlds and planes - as it is seen as heinous and taboo in it's way to completely sever a being from reality itself (including deities).

Acquisition: Finding the recipe for this poison is nearly impossible - as many mortal and extraplanar entities have gone out of their way to destroy any and all trace of it's existence. This poison is refined from the extraordinarily rare black lotus flower, and with several expensive and powerful alchemy reagents, including units of dendricite, animite, and chlorophyte - taking several months to produce the silky void black, vaguely luminescent and foggy oil.
Market Value: Priceless
Legality: Highly Illegal and Sacrilegious
Saving Throw DC: 30
Effect: This silky void of a liquid has no taste, no smell, no texture, never expires, and never loses potency. When exposed to open air, the black oil subsumes a white vapor indiscernible from regular white smoke.
A creature subjected to this poison by any means must make a Constitution saving throw or take 28 (5d10) force, 28 (5d10) poison, 28 (5d10) psychic, and 28 (5d10) aetherion damage, or half as much damage on a successful one. This damage ignores all resistances and immunities. Regardless of if they succeeded the saving throw, they become poisoned. While poisoned in this way, the creature's Hit Points can never recover, they can never regain spells slots, they have their AC reduced by 5, and take 3 levels of exhaustion (even if they were previously immune to exhaustion). The poisoned creature must repeat the saving throw at the end of every turn, taking the same damage on a failed save. After three successful saving throws, the creature is no longer poisoned. If the creature's hit points are reduced to 0 by this poison, it eats away their body, mind, and soul, leaving nothing remaining. They cannot be restored to life by anything short of a wish spell.

Handling this poison is incredibly dangerous - as one wrong move can end up erasing one would-be assailant from existence. Even the process of distilling this deadly, taboo substance will undoubtedly stir the ire of many powerful beings - and some may even take active steps to stop it from coming to existence.

Curse. No matter what you wish for, it will always come with some price to pay for it's existence.

For example, you can write that you want infinite riches and you will successfully have it, but with these riches people will never accept your payments even if you offered 100 times more that what they requested - on account of their disdain of you or their absolute hostility with no reason.

You could be a wizard that writes that writes that you can know and cast every single known wizard spell which it will grant you, but when you attempt to cast any spell it could always be one you were not trying to cast, may be the opposite of what you were trying to cast, or you simply take 5d10 necrotic damage each time you cast a spell from magical hemorrhaging.

If you try to trick or con the chalk by writing that what you want won't have any consequences associated with it, the chalk turns to white hot ash and you become cursed. The curse can only be lifted with the wish spell. The DM will roll 1d10 which will determine how many effects there will be to the curse and the DM chooses these effects from the bestow curse spell.

Your rage lasts for 1 minute. It ends early if you are knocked Unconscious or if Your Turn ends and you haven't attacked a hostile creature since your last turn or taken damage since then. You can also end your rage on Your Turn as a Bonus Action.

Barbarians who drink the potion gain the following:

You not only have advantage on Strength check and Strength saving throws - but you also gain a +2 to both.
Your rage damage bonus is increased by 2.
You not only have resistance to physical damage, but you also ignore 5 points of any damage that is dealt - even from magical.

Power Pole

Weapon (quarterstaff), legendary (requires attunement)

Crafted from Aetherwood - stained with red paint. You gain a +3 bonus on attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. Can be used as a spellfocus.

When targeted by a spell attack or similar magical effect, you gain a +3 "Parry" AC bonus to the attack.

This 5-foot staff weighs 3 pounds and does not get heavier regardless of how long it becomes. This staff has 5 charges and regains 1d4+1 charges daily at dawn.

Dodge. Expending one of the weapon’s charges, you can take the Dodge action as a bonus action on your turn.

Stretch. While holding this staff, you can spend a charge and speak its command word as a bonus action to cause it to extend outwards from each end at a rate of 30 feet - per charge - each turn. Each end of the rod only stops extending if you will it to stop, the rod hits a solid surface, or the rod reaches a total extended length of 150 feet.

While stretched, the weapon’s reach equals its length, and you have advantage on Dexterity (acrobatics) checks.

If either end might strike a creature no more than one size larger than you while extending, that creature must make a DC 15 Dexterity saving throw. On a failed save, the rod strikes the target and you may choose whether to stop the rod's extension or will it to continue. If you will it to continue, then you must roll a Strength (Athletics) check contested by the target’s Strength (Athletics) check. If you succeed, then the target is stunned until the rod finishes extending. If you fail, then the rod stops extending.

If both ends of the rod extend and stop at solid surfaces which can hold it in place, the rod can support up to 1,000 pounds. You can make the rod retract by using a bonus action to either let go or speak the command word again. It has AC 15 and 20 hit points.

Tassels of Enchantment

Wondrous Item, rare (+1), very rare (+2), legendary (+3) (requires attunement)

These magical charm tassels are made from a variety of substances - usually carved bone, engraved stones, gilded feathers, or intricately forged metal symbols, and affixed to a series of woven hair, rope or string

You can affix these magical tassels to a weapon, shield or suit of armor. That item gains a bonus to attack and damage rolls if it is a weapon, or a bonus to AC conferred if it is armor or a shield. The bonus depends on the rarity of the tassels, and the tassels cannot be affixed to a magic item.

Vorpal Spear

Weapon (any spear that deals piercing damage), legendary (requires attunement)

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. In addition, the weapon ignores resistance to piercing damage.

When you attack a corporeal creature and roll 20 on an attack roll, you impale the creature, killing it instantly. A creature is immune to this effect if the creature is incorporeal, immune to piercing damage, has legendary actions, or the DM decides it is too large to be impaled. Such a creature instead takes an extra 6d8 piercing damage from the hit.

Zephyr Shield

Armor (shield), rare (requires attunement)

This spiraling, bronzed mithral shield is enchanted with a set of intricate runes, forming the image of interlocking vortexes of wind - and weighs incredibly light.

This shield has 5 charges and regains 1d4+1 charges at dawn.

If you are hit with a melee weapon attack while wielding this shield, you can expend 1 charge and use your reaction to blast the triggering creature with strong wind. The triggering creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw (DC 15) or be pushed 15 feet away from you.

In addition you can spend 3 charges to cast the spell wind wall (save DC 15).

Zetto's Bottled Maelstroms

Wondrous Item, very rare

The primordial power of the destructive forces of nature, barely contained within the flasks in your hand. These elemental bombs are one of the few - but powerful - creations brought upon by the elemental studies of the Legendary Battlemage: Zetto Mildari. When you're too busy to cast a spell in trouble, or unable to set up an oil & alchemists fire bomb - using these flasks can enable adventurers to clear rooms, level structures, and create chokepoints in a matter of seconds.

Fairly simple - yet elegant - in design these glass flasks are covered in gold plated ceramics etched with intricate runes that continuously contain the elemental substance. Upon impact with a hard surface, the flask and ceramics shatter and release the contents within. The ensuing release of energy is both explosive and volatile, resulting in a swirling mass of gyrating elemental energies

As an Action, you can throw the flask. This weapon counts as a "finesse" weapon for the sake of the throw.

Make an improvised ranged weapon attack, up to 60 feet away. The flask explodes upon impact, releasing a swirling maelstrom of the predetermined type:

A storm of elemental energies spreads from the center of impact out in a radius of 60 feet. This storm lasts for 5 rounds (30 seconds), and is considered difficult terrain.
All Creatures in the area upon initial impact must make a DC 15 Dexterity Saving throw, taking (4d8) elemental damage and are knocked prone on a failure; or half damage and no prone on a success.
All creatures who start their turn inside the maelstrom -or walk into it - must make the check above.

Bomb Types

The following table contains the types of Maelstroms found within the flasks.

Contents Color	Element
Lime Droplets	Acid
White Frost	Cold
Red Flames	Fire
Grey Streams	Force
Blue Bolts	Lightning
Black Fog	Necrotic
Silver Sparks	Physical
Green Gases	Poison
Pink Screaming Faces	Psychic
Yellow Flashes	Radiant
Purple Pulses	Thunder
Multicolor Nebula	Aetherion

Why not higher rarity - bottled maelstroms?

As with the Annihilation javelins, The purpose for bottled maelstroms being "very rare" as opposed to "legendary" is due to being limited use items. Make no mistake, these are incredibly powerful and legendary.

Zetto's Tomes of Elementalism

Wondrous Item, legendary

These tomes are relics left behind by the legendary elemental wizard and arcane warrior: Battlemage Zetto Mildari. Zetto spent his life focused on the more martial focus of elemental and war magics, living in a time of war against the dragon hoards of ages past, and knowing that not every warrior could wield magic, he focused his studies on ways to derive magic energies in more physical manners. His studies led him to discover and invent various new methods of spells and abiltiies that turned the tide in many a battle against those who stood in his way. His malleable view on magic allowed him to forge the weave into tomes of his choosing, creating books that - when read - would tap into the pools of elemental magic that gave him such great power...for a price.

Raw Conduits - These tomes are written in cipher and a multitude of arcane languages that tap into their respective sources of elements, which when read, are activated, burn pages within the book and the magical reagents that are contained within the writing itself - This activates a conduit into the weave that instills raw power into the reader.

The command words are contained within the front cover of each book. Requiring an DC 15 Arcana Check to properly read and understand. After which, all one needs to do to activate the book is open it to its gilded pages, recite the command word, and witness the symbols, runes, and ciphers magically flitter across each page with extreme speed, and then endure the price that comes with reading the tome...

A Price for Power - After reading the tome, the conduit opened by the weave must now be endured. As pure magic pours from the burning pages, the reader must now be able to face the raw power of their chosen element.

As the raw elemental energies surge through the reader, they must make a DC 15 Constitution Saving throw taking (4d10) damage of the chosen elemental type - or half as much damage on a success - as their body struggles to contain the energy.

After they have succeeded in retaining the energy, their body is now overcharged with raw elemental power - which is now evident by the flaring aura of that element. This power transfers into corresponding elemental spells as well as melee, & ranged attacks.

Unfortunately, the overcharge comes at a price - both of sight and body - as the reader loses their initial sight, becoming blind for the duration. Additionally, the overcharge does not confer any form of superior resistance or immunity to the damage type (save for any pre-existing resistances or immunities the reader may have had.) The reader, hoewever, does take less damage from the elemental type.

Tome of Elementalism

Written by Zetto the Battlemage, This sacrificial tome is inscribed with words of elemental power and serves as a conduit that instills raw energy into those who read the contents within.

Each Tome has 3 Charges, which cannot be replenished once expended. Only 1 charge can be used every 24 hours

Command Words A Tome of Elementalism is inscribed with a command Word written in Primordial on the inside front cover (read 'Raw Conduits').
Energy Backlash After reading the Tome, one must make a saving throw to endure the tumultuous output of elemental energy being weaved into them (read 'A Price for Power').
Elemental Overcharge Once read and endured, the reader is now instilled wtth resonating elemental energy of the chosen type.
Sacrificial Tome As the Tome is read, the pages burn with arcane energy and are rendered useless and ruined after being used. After all 3 charges are expended, the book disintegrates into fine white dust.

Elemental Overcharge

The Reader of the Tome becomes overcharged with elemental energy. The following effects last for 5 minutes.

Elemental energy wraps and races across your body, creating effects similar to the selected element in the "Elementalism Table". You take 10 less damage of the associated type.
The raw flow of power from the tome's pages scours itself into your sight, rendering your normal sight useless for the duration, but gaining blindsight for 60 feet for the duration.
Any Creature that moves within 5 feet of you the first time on a turn or ends its turn there takes (1d10) Elemental damage
All melee and ranged attacks the reader makes deal an additional (4d10) Elemental damage
All spells that deal the associated damage type deal an additional (4d10) Elemental damage more.
Spells that do not deal the associated damage type deal an additional (2d10) Elemental damage instead, as the energy warps the spells power output. (A Spell must deal damage in some way for this to apply)

Elementalism Table

The Tomes produce effects according to the elements that are present upon the covers. The Effects are extrapolated upon after the table.

Tome Color	Element	Effects
Lime	Acid	Corrosive Pooling
White	Cold	Frosted Fog
Red	Fire	Fiery Smoke
Grey	Force	Shifting Aura
Blue	Lightning	Energized Storm
Black	Necrotic	Dark Shadows
Silver	Physical	Sparking Body
Green	Poison	Noxious Gas
Pink	Psychic	Dissonant Spirit
Yellow	Radiant	Brilliant Aurora
Purple	Thunder	Reverberating Moves
Multicolor	Aetherion	Omnichromatic Clouding

Elemental Effects

Here are the visual effects of each elemental overcharge.

Acid - Corrosive Pooling Acid pours and pools off of you, creating an expanding puddle and aura that follows you as you move.

Cold - Frosted Fog A cold fog of frost, snow, and ice swirls around you, freezing the surrounding area.

Fire - Fiery Smoke Fire and embers swirl and dance around you, producing a heated cloud of fiery smoke and flames that burn the area.

Force - Shifting Aura Your movements leave displacing afterimages of your body and your form glows with unnatural arcane force, blasting the surroundings.

Lightning - Energized Storm Electricity arcs and tears around you, forming a mass of energized bolts that strike the vicinity.

Necrotic - Dark Shadows Darkened shadows of decay and death swirl and seep from you, corrupting the area around you.

Physical - Sparking Body Your body is wreathed in a slight aura of sparking metal and dust that lacerates, punctures and strikes everything around you.

Poison - Noxious Gas A cloud of vile and lethal poison pours from you and infects the surrounding area.

Psychic - Dissonant Spirit Your soul warps and flares off of you, becoming visible as a shifting mass of energy and whispers that terrifies or astounds all those who see it.

Radiant - Brilliant Aurora Light flares and flickers all over your body, becoming an extremely bright and shining aura.

Thunder - Reverberating Moves Your body vibrates and resounds with a charged ringing that threatens to obliterate the surrounding

Aetherion - Omnichromatic Clouding You are subjected to a maddening array of all previous Elemental effects above at once, and surrounded by an aura of multichromatic colors.

Modular Magic Items

Every magical item has 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.

A Magical item can only be enchanted or magically altered up to 3 separate times after their initial creation; therefore, a magical item made from exceptionally rare materials and high enchantments to start with will yield a more powerful magical weapon after being further enchanted.

Character Level	Item Tier	Item's Rarity
1st - 4th	Tier 1	Common
5th - 8th	Tier 2	Common
9th - 12th	Tier 3	Uncommon
13th - 16th	Tier 4	Rare
17th - 20th	Tier 5	Very Rare
21st - 24th	Tier 6	Legendary
25+	Tier 7	Mythical

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 has only a minor property, tier 2 and higher items can have one minor property alongside their other properties that gives a simple feature or effect to it for free.

The following table shows the properties rarity for magic items for every tier.

Property Rarity per Tier

Tier	Property 1	Property 2	Property 3	Property 4
Tier 1	Minor	-	-	-
Tier 2	Uncommon	Uncommon	-	-
Tier 3	Rare	Uncommon	-	-
Tier 4	Rare	Rare	Uncommon	-
Tier 5	Very Rare	Rare	Rare	-
Tier 6	Legendary	Very Rare	Rare	-
Tier 7	Mythical	Legendary	Very Rare	-

Artifact	Mythical+	Mythical+	Legendary+	Very 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 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 charges in the property rarity. For example, an item that has the Spell III property with the lightning bolt spell, that spell will be cast 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	7th
Charges V	5	9th

Each charge equals 1 spell slot level. For example, expending 1 charge allows the character to cast a 1st-level spell the item has, and expending 5 charges allows the character to cast a 5th-level spell the item has.

Artifacts

Artifacts are incredibly rare and powerful objects that maintain a massive amount of magical energies within them, using many a method to craft them.

The properties of an Artifact are heavily steeped in why they were created, and can even have the effects of one or multiple other magical items.

Refer to Page 219 of the Dungeon Master's Handbook for further details for crafting artifacts.

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, or an ancient grave to the character's ancestors.
The character must gain a deity or other entity's favor.
The character must defeat an old enemy of the weapon's creator.
The item evolves after saving a group of innocents from the claws of a tyrant.
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 1

Common items without any special property - or a Minor property.

Tier 2

When it evolves to this tier:

you can add two Uncommon properties to the item.

Tier 3

When it evolves to this tier:

you can upgrade one Uncommon property to Rare.

Tier 4

When it evolves to this tier:

the item gains an extra Uncommon property
you can upgrade one Uncommon property to Rare.

Tier 5

When it evolves to this tier:

you can upgrade one uncommon property to Rare.
you can upgrade one Rare property to Very Rare

Tier 6

When it evolves to this tier:

you can upgrade one rare property to Very Rare.
you can upgrade one Very Rare property to Legendary.

Tier 7

When it evolves to this tier:

you can upgrade one Rare property to Very Rare.
you can upgrade one Very Rare property to Legendary.
you can upgrade one Legendary property to Mythical.

Artifact

When it evolves to this tier:

the item gains an extra Very Rare property.
You can upgrade one Legendary property to Mythical.
You can upgrade one Very Rare property to Legendary.
The item also gains additional features with your DM's approval according to the Artifact.

Taking and Replacing Properties

Since these 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 Beacon 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 leave 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 has 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 +1d6 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 beacon I minor property (bonus action to cause the item to shed bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet, or to extinguish the light.)
Igni is forged from Feverus steel, granting an extra 1d6 (nonmagical) fire damage on strike.
