Reassembled Painting

Description: What seem to be the painting of a famous artist, but with something wrong. The original was a different painting of another famous artist that was then magically cut in small squares and glued precisely back on to look as the other work. The name of the original is on the back of the frame. It yearns to return its original state.

With an investigation roll of 13 or lower the character doesn’t notice anything, 14 to 17 the character notice the colours are slightly different and in some places wrong, 18 or higher and the character notices the cuts and realise what’s been done to the painting as they read the original painting’s name.

Functionality: once a person stands in a 30ft radius of the painting for a long period of time, the sound of scissor will be overheard repeatedly in the air, this sets the start of the “attack” of the painting. Depending on for how long the character is in sight of the painting, it will try to get their attention and to make them suffer its own curse by:

• Swapping colours of their features, for example making their hair the colour of their eyes and viceversa, or making their skin the colour of their armour and viceversa.

• Swapping two people’s features, in case there are at least two creatures in sight, for example swapping the hair, armour or voices of two characters.

Everything is restored after the character moves 40 feet away from the painting.

To restore the painting the players must either break its curse with magic or restoring it manually in two hours of in-game time where the effects are minimal as the painting returns to its original state. (Make it so there is a way for a character with no art knowledge to know how the original looks like, by either putting the painting somewhere where they can be helped by a professional or maybe by making them find earlier a book of paintings of famous artists)

Once the painting is restored, depending on the character that saved it’s class, it changes form:

Artificer: the painting fuses with their tools giving them a beautiful coat of color, +1 to any checks made using them.

Barbarian: the painting fuses with the barbarian to make tattoos of beautiful art all over their body, +1 to Cha checks

Bard: the painting fuses with the Bard’s instruments, +1 to any attack made using them (magic and not, but only attacks that would damage a creature or more)

Cleric: the painting fuses with their shield, turning it into a fine piece of art dedicated to their god or deity, +1 AC

Druid: the painting fuses with the staff of the Druid, or changes in a similar way their Druidic focus, to make it look like a beautiful representation of blooming nature

Fighter: the painting fuses with the boots of the fighter turning them into a beautiful peace of art, +5ft on all speeds (that are not set to 0)

Monk: The painting fuses with the knuckles of the Monk, marking them with beautiful tiny tattoos, +1 max ki point

Paladin: The painting fuses with the paladin’s blade, turning into to a shining piece of art with its hilt beautiful yet still practical. +1d4 damage dealt using the sword

Ranger: The painting fuses with their bow or ranged weapon, marking with drawings of the hunt, +1 to all Wis checks

Rouge: the painting fuses with the daggers of the rogue, turning them into a deep black colour when they hide but a beautiful piece of art when they don’t, +1d4 to sneak attacks damage

Sorcerer: the painting fuses with the body of the sorcerer as a beautiful tattoo forms on their chest, gain an additional metamagic option

Warlock: the painting fuses not only with the character but with the pact itself that they made with the patron, making your Eldritch Blast look like a beautiful piece of art as it blasts your enemies, +1d6 damage dealt using Eldritch Blast (for Hexblade, it fuses with the weapon and deals +1d4 damage)

Wizard: the painting fuses with the spell book of the wizard, making its cover much more beautiful and depicting the spells inside with drawings too, +1 to the number of recovered spell slots AFTER halving the Wizard level (a 4th level wizard will be able to recover 3 spell slots instead of 2)

Inspiration: the video above, the idea of a painting cut to pieces to form another came to me listening to the story of a Black actress being forced to learn how to act as a White actress.

Campaign Idea:

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

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

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

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

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

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

I can hear Geese outside too haha

Puzzle Idea

Door of Dooring

Description: A heavy metal (❌🤘) door, without any inscription or mysterious entity guarding it, in a completely empty room. Oh and also without a handle or a key hole. The players can’t sense any sort of magic coming from it.

Functionality: It’s a one way door. The players must find a way to open it from the inside, like using daggers in the space between the door and the wall to pull it or with magic.

Inspiration: …I closed myself in a walk-in-freezer accidentally. For 30 minutes, which is probably less than how much time your players are gonna spend trying to understand what’s the deal with this door.

Party Idea

Rat

Class: Thief

Race: ?

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

Converse

Class: Barbarian

Race: Dwarf

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

Wolf

Class: Warlock

Race: Human Werewolf

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

Eyes

Class: Monk

Race: Elf

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

The Captain

Class: Arteficer

Race: Orc

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

Goggles

Class: Wizard

Race: Human

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

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”.

Item Idea

Legendary Sponge

Description: a yellow square sponge, it looks like any other normal sponge except that it won’t suffer from any environmental effects, not even the loss of water or the rising of temperatures.

Functionality: Grants the holder with resistance to cold, lightning, thunder and fire damage. Does not stack with other spells or items.

Inspiration: Now there is @markrosewater

I would have GREATLY preferred the Spongebob creatures be original designs. As funny as Squidward being a "Horror" is it is absolutely disappointing to see Spongebob be a Human and not a Sponge

There are no legendary Sponges.

Pet Idea

Lystrosaurus

Description: A fucking Lystrosaurus

Inspiration: Get recked meme above

This is me

Magic Item

Lucky Hair Bow

Description: an extremely saturated pink hair bow that makes whoever wears it feel prettier. Only a roll higher than 20 on Investigating the Hair Bow will confirm that the Hair Bow is magic, otherwise it looks like a normal Hair Bow.

Functionality: +2 to Charisma score. Every time you have to roll 1 or more d100, you roll 2 more d100s, you can choose the result between the options (you can choose only a number of results equal to the original number of dices to roll).

Example: Astarion rolls 3d100, then rolls 2d100 thanks to his Lucky Hair Bow, the results:

Obtain 25 gp

You lose all your spell slots of level 3 and higher

Obtain 25 gp

In your next encounter you get +3 initiative.

You get teleported into the Plane from where you where born, if you already are there you get teleported into a random level of the Nine Hells

Annie (the player who plays Astarion) obviously chooses to obtain 50 gp and the +3 initiative, so 3 options like the 3d100 she had to roll originally.

The choice will be done by the player, but the character will think of it as a strike of good luck and say that it’s all thanks to their lucky hair bow. It is.

Inspiration: The remix of the song “Lucky” from the “Lucky Twice”, “Lucky (I'm So Lucky Lucky)” …yes the Nightcore remix …yes I’m transfem …yes I’ve got 30 different versions into the same Spotify playlist except the original
