Temporary Sacrifice
Effect: The user use all their magic and put it into an object, losing the ability to use magic in any way, receiving tho a +2 into their stats, +5 to hit, +1d12 to any attack they deal. If they die they loose these bonuses but after 24h from their death they return in a 5ft radius from the object that then retrieves all the magic stored and breaks. If after 24h they aren’t dead yet, they roll a d20, on a Nat20 they get 24h more hours, if they roll anything else they die on the spot and everything returns at normal.
The equipment that the player wore at death is teleported with them, their weapon/s too even if it slipped from their hands at death.
After being teleported the player rolls a [(LevelOfTheCharacter) +3]d4, they lose that amount of Max HP until they have a long rest
Notes: If it’s a spell then the object will be decided by the character, if it’s a magic item then that’s the object where the user magic will be stored.
When the dead return into a 5ft radius from the object, the object breaks only if it was a Magic Item. In case it was a spell, the cool-down is 1 year.
Inspiration: The Viking of Stamford Bridge
Description: A magic scroll that can store a spell of the owner’s choice (or can be changed once per king rest) that buffs the spell stored but debuffs all the similar ones that the owner casts (not counting those casted using items).
Functionality: Once per long rest the player chooses a spell to store in the scroll or decide if they’ll change the already stored spell or keep it. The spell stored gains a +(3+X) dices that the player can split into:
Damage roll
To hit roll
Other rolls
The X stands for the types of damage that the spell deals/protect/affects in any way. The addition of the 3+X dices can be done only after having rolled that, example:
Matt rolls to hit (4) so spends one of the (3+1) dices but fail again. Nothing happens anymore.
Liz rolls to hit (22) but still fails so she spends two of her (3+2) dices going up to 36, that hits. She then rolls for damage, doing a total of 25 fire damage and 15 necrotic damage. But since she has still 3 dices and REALLY wants the monster dead, she uses her 3 dices again, more on the fire damage because those are d8 while the necrotic uses d12, rolling 8 and 5 on the additional fire damage and 11 on the necrotic damage killing the beast.
In the next turn (or encounter) the player who has the scroll still has the maximum (3+X) dices, until the spell slots run out, the scroll will work.
BUT
If the stored spell deals fire damage, all the other fire damage-dealing spells (not magic items) will receive disadvantage in the damage rolls
This happens to all the types of damage that the stored spell deals.
That means that Matt’s psychic spell, even if it didn’t landed, and Liz fire/necrotic spell are the only ones that deal a noticeable amount of those types of damage.
If the spell doesn’t deal any damage nor affects any type of damage in particular the spell will be rejected by the scroll.
If the spell heals, it can be used. Use +(1+Z) where Z is the number of targets (you count too, even if it’s only a self spell, so the minimum is +2). But gives disadvantage to all the other healing spells.

Blood Explosion Disease
Description: The character’s veins burst and their skin is torn as blood rushes out of their body at high speed, coating the surroundings with blood. Then the skin reforms back to its normal state. The first part is not a painless process. Neither is the second part. If the next rest of the character will be a long rest, they won’t be able to do anything beside sleeping. If the next rest is scheduled to be a short rest, and the character is forced to continue their journey, they’ll have +2 points of fatigue until the next long rest.
Functionality: 1/long rest. When using this trait the player rolls a d4 to determinate how much blood they’ll lose:
0.5 liter of blood: the character takes 2d12 of damage, anyone who is in the blast radius needs to roll a Dex ST above 10(with disadvantage their first time, advantage after the fourth) on a fail they’ll get directly hit by the blood and take 1d12+X of damage
1 liter of blood: the character takes 2d12+5 of damage, anyone who is in the blast radius needs to roll a Dex ST above 14, on a fail they’ll get directly hit by the blood and take 1d12+1d6+X of damage
1.5 liter of blood: the character takes 3d12+5 of damage, gets their speed reduced by 5 ft, they can hold their breath for -Y minutes and have a -2 on strength, dexterity, wisdom and charisma checks and saving throws. Anyone who is in the blast radius needs to roll a Dex ST above 16, on a fail they’ll get directly hit by the blood and take 1d12+1d8+X of damage
2 liters of blood: the character takes 2d8+1d6 of damage, gets their speed reduced by 5 ft , they can hold their breath for -Y minutes and have a -4 on strength, dexterity, wisdom and charisma checks and saving throws. Anyone who is in the blast radius needs to roll a Dex ST above 18, on a fail they’ll get directly hit by the blood and take 1d12+1d8+X of damage
The AoE is a circle around the player with a 20ft DIAMETER.
X equals the class level of the player using the feat (a level 2Wiz/4Barb will use 4, not 6)
Y equals the lowest stat of the player using the feat -1. If it’s positive it becomes negative: if Cha +1 is the lowest, it becomes -1, then take -1 again, so -2=Y.

Warlock
Story: Warlock with a pact with a Deity to kill the paladins who break the oath with them
Functionality: Gives disadvantage to hit when the opponent uses an attack dealing radiant damage, additional bonuses to hit are not counted if the opponent is a paladin of the Deity
Inspiration: I don't know but I told this Idea to my older cousin and he said "cool" so I'm feeling POWERFUL
The Sniler
Description: a Tiny common-looking mouse, except for its pitch black tail and its especially long whiskers.
Functionality: The Sniler can teleport inside small spaces, like pockets, small bags, empty sheaths, loose socks, etc., that are of property of its owner. The Sniler mostly sleeps and eat, but when it’s awake it can do two things by emitting a squeak:
Outside of an encounter: The Sniler squeaks and the owner has advantage on all Nature and Animal Handling checks.
In an encounter: The Sniler squeaks and a d4 is rolled.
The owner of The Sniler gets teleported in a 15ft radius from their starting point of their choosing.
The Sniler grows in size and becomes a Medium Sized. It uses the Giant Rat sheet with the added Action of Teleport (see Blink Dog). Reaching 0 hp makes The Sniler return to its normal form and teleport to an empty pocket of its owner.
The Sniler squeak sounds like a monstrous roar, making any enemy creature in a 30 ft radius frightened of its owner. This effect lasts 1d6 round(s).
The owner of The Sniler turns one size smaller, along with its equipment, and their speed raises by 15ft.
To trigger a squeak the owner needs to feed The Sniler with an 5cm cube of cheese that was previously soaked in beer. The Sniler will engulf the cheese in one bite and proceed to squeak, it’s completely possible that the squeak is actually just a burp.
The Sniler will take only 3 cubes of its delicious cheese before sleeping or refusing any more, accepting it back only after a long rest (of the Sniler).
If the Sniler isn’t offered a cube of special cheese in 3 days it will squeak only outside of battle, hiding from its owner in battle, if it’s not fed a cube of special cheese in 6 days it will disappear with any cheese and beer the party has in a 10ft radius from the owner after a long rest.
Even if the cheese and beer are inside a Bag of Holding.
Feed the Sniler.

The Sniler
Psychic Fox
Description: A seemingly normal Giant Fox that, only at night, looks like a fox being looked through a thermal sight.
Functionality: The Psychic Fox will first appear to the party during the day, looking at them from afar and studying them during an encounter or analysing their actions. If the Psychic Fox is approached, the party gets blinded and deafened for 6 seconds, after that it all goes back to normal but the Psychic Fox is disappeared. Any way to find or trace the Psychic Fox fails automatically.
The night after:
If the Psychic Fox deemed the party worthy, they’ll find a cub of Psychic Fox next to them when they wake up. The original Psychic Fox will sometimes reappear, to check on the cub, for the next 6d6 days, after that, it will never show up again. The cub is one week old (determinable by the party only after a successful Nature check).
If the Psychic Fox deemed the party unworthy, they’ll find their food missing, and the Psychic Fox will never show up again.
Once the cub is 1 month old it’ll be loyal enough to be able to aid the party:
1/day it can deafen for 6 seconds all enemies or non-allies in a 10ft radius
1/day it can blind for 6 seconds all enemies or non-allies in a 10ft radius
Small size
Understands Common and Sylvan
At 2 months:
2/day it can deafen for 6 seconds all enemies or non-allies in a 20ft radius
2/day it can blind for 6 seconds all enemies or non-allies in a 20ft radius
Bite and scratch attack
1/day can cast Minor Illusion
1/day can cast Mirror Image
Understands one other language (the most used in the party except Common or one of the languages their favourite party member speaks)
At 3 months:
3/day it can deafen for 6 seconds all enemies or non-allies in a 30ft radius
3/day it can blind for 6 seconds all enemies or non-allies in a 30ft radius
Medium size
2/day Minor illusion
1/day Hypnotic Pattern
At 4 months:
3/day Minor Illusion
2/day Mirror Image
2/day Hypnotic Pattern
1/day Major Image
No one is the owner of a Psychic Fox, not even when it’s a cub. The decisions are all made by the DM during battle. If spoken to with Soeak with Animal or other mechanics, it will have a Primordial accent (described as a guttural way of speaking by those not familiar with Primordial). The Psychic Fox will disappear after 4 and a half months for two weeks, before returning for one lasts month (presumably to have a baby and give it to another party).
At 5 months:
5/day Minor Illusion
4/day Mirror Image
4/day Hypnotic Pattern
3/day Major Image
1/day Seeming
1/day Weird
After 5 months and a half the Psychic Fox will disappear, forever. It will leave only X luminous spheres of light that when touched grants those who did it a sense of well being and immunity to being blinded and deafened. Those who gained a Psychic Fox blessing can also, only at night, focus and look like under a thermal sight until concentration ends.
Inspiration: the amazing artwork of @kittydisk (I procrastinated this so much and I don’t know why)
This is a PERFECT way to introduce D&D to a party of newbies.
Maybe make the child mute (so that they cannot say their own name, escaping the oldest trick in the book) or simply make them very nice to the fairies and respectful of the nature thanks to, idk, a grandma Druid.
If you take the grandma Druid you can make that since she was very rich thanks to her adventures, some bandits kidnapped the child to have for ransom. Then the Grandma, knowing the relationship with the fairies that his grandson had, asked for their help.
For 10+ years a child goes to a forest to play/talk with the fairies there despite local legends of their sadism/cruelty, and afflicting fates worse than death. So when the now 16 y/o child is abducted, the traffickers find out not all local legends are BS when the fairies come for their “pet”.
Paper Knife
Description: A piece of paper with a drawing of a knife. The piece of paper can’t be burned or destroyed as long as it has charges. Per each charges used, the knife drawn gets more and more covered in blood. Recharges every day.
Functionality: 23/day you can touch the piece of paper and point at an enemy that immediately suffer 1d4 piercing damage, or 1d6 if outside of combat (this action starts combat)
Inspiration: @trilliath’s mom
I was explaining to my mom about how tumblr is excited for the ides of march tomorrow, and celebrating the assassination of a corrupt politician etc. etc. and she goes, "Oh! So what do we wear!"
And I said, "IDK a knife?"
And she said, "Ohh, I don't think I can get away with that at the conference. But I know, I'll draw a picture of a knife and carry it around in my pocket and get a giggle out of it whenever I look in my pocket!"
Anyway my mom's brilliant and I think we should all carry paper knives tomorrow.
Description: A hero who gets reincarnated over and over again to kill the BBEG (who also gets reincarnated over and over again) but neither of them is actually always the hero or BBEG, because the Hero is the only who retains their memory while the BBEG is the only who keeps their immense power and the Hero always has to kill the BBEG whatever they do.
One time the BBEG was actually a powerful Aasimar paladin of Tyr, who caught dragons and protected millions of people from them while the Hero was a Tortle and spent 10 years to infiltrate in the inner circle of the BBEG to kill them by giving them a food imbued in a drop of all the dragons that the BBEG killed that was filled with hatred towards them and so it was Highly deathly to them
Another time the BBEG was the father of the hero but since he was the King’s right hand and the wizard of court, the hero saw him for so little that every attempt he tried always resulted into a goofy scene of a toddler trying to “hug” is dad and falling head first against a chair
One time the Hero was a Giant and the BBEG a Halfling… wait that was very easy to accomplish actually
Why? Because the Hero and the “first” BBEG were secretly lovers, and when the BBEG died by the Hero’s hands (it was in the middle of the battle and they knew that this moment was gonna happen one day) the Hero lost all his will to live and made a pact to a God, not one of the good one but like a sillier Loki.
In exchange to entertainment for the God, the Hero and the BBEG reincarnated over and over again (the BBEG without their memories because they were already dead, but with the same high power because it was so strong that it was still there, filling the place where they died while the Hero always with random powers and abilities to entertain the God) and every time that the Hero killed the BBEG they could share one “year” (in the real world it’s an instant) together, obviously them being the first Hero and the first BBEG.
During the “year” together they live in an imaginary castle always slightly different than the last time, built by the God during the moments of their lives when kind of nothing happens (when they’re toddlers for example, like when you watch a show and it gets interrupted by the ads and you rush to the toilet) and the Hero would tell the BBEG stories of their last encounter and while in there they (both of them) can actually change their appearances to their previous bodies. The BBEG loves to do it to see how different they are from their “first” body, since they have no memory of their other lives.

Mouseth
Description: A mouse-like creature that randomly appear in the vicinity of the owner (preferably on their shoulder or head) say some random silly shit with a really high pitched voice and then disappears again.
Abilities: The owner has +2 to their wisdom score and a +5 on Animal Handling, that becomes +6 if it is to call the Mouseth to feed it. If the owner forgets to feed the Mouseth for three days straight the Mouseth will never appear again.
The same Mouseth can be owned by multiple people, but each one still has to feed it individually if they want to keep it, otherwise only the character who forgot will lose the ownership of the Mouseth.
A character have only one chance in their lifetime to own a Mouseth, once it leaves them they will never be able to reown one again, unless they use Wish, but they can’t wish for infinte Mouseth but only for a second chance to own one. To gain the ownership of the Mouseth, your character needs to feed it whatever food they have in their inventory if they meet it in the wild, or by saving the life of a random mouse/rat/rodent.
You can lose your ownership (forever) to a Mouseth by:
Trying to kill it while in the wild (pre-owning)
Killing a large amount of innocent mice/rats/rodents, no problem with monsters (pre-owning)
Disrespecting a Ratfolk/Mousefolk and being cursed by them (pre-owning) (they can curse players with the inability to own a Mouseth)
Forgetting to feed their Mouseth after 3 days from the last time (the Mouseth will appear and insult you for a last time)
Disrespecting the Mouseth (they have a very haughty behavior, often stopping after eating just to remember to everyone how cool they are)
