The Blindfold of Faith

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

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

Abilities:

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

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

-2 to Wisdom, -1 to the other stats

-5 wisdom, -2 Constitution

-7 Wisdom, -5 Constituion

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

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

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

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

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

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

Magic Object Idea

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.

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.

Mechanic/Feat Idea

Silliest worshipper

Description: You have the ability to use Divine Intervention and all the other “Ask to your God” spells any times you want with an instant recharge only if you use it for something silly (DM’s decision) and if your God is Chaotic-Neutral/Good aligned.

Functionality: You use the spell to ask something silly to your God (another of the same meal you just had, to win a low/no reward slug race, have a nice silly hat, find a good pun on the spot, etc etc) and the God does it, then you feel a pat on your head and hear an astral voice say “Yes, sure darling, no need to use your precious spells for this” you feel warm and then everything turns back to normal, with your wish granted.

This can also work for warlocks only if your patron is Chaotic-Neutral/Good aligned.

In general, this can take effects if your deity is a momma type, even if it’s Lawful/Good but if it is Lawful/Good sometimes it will say things like “But next time use it for good alright sweetie?” making you feel slightly guilty, the more you use it for sillies without using it for something good.

Cursed Item Idea

Hat of Gold (Cursed)

Desc- yes Sans, the name is a pun on “Heart of Gold” I’m a comedy genius what did you expect? 💅🏻 (I’m cringe)

Description: A hat that every time it is worn for the first time in a day by someone materialise 15 gp in their hands or in their vicinity. From that moment they will be cursed to talk in a strange way by pronouncing the words much longer than needed, marking the accents way more than correct and by also rising their pitch just a bit enough to sound different but not enough to sound like a mouse.

Functionality: Along with the 15 gp, it gives -3 Charisma to anyone who wears the hat, until the curse is lifted after 24 hours from when it was worn for the first time in the day.

Inspiration: the post above ⬆️ @graegrape

i am once again reminded of the fact that toby fox is a genius at comedic pacing

Coffin of Sleep

⠀

⠀

Description: a nice coffin with cushions and elegant decorations on the wood, it changes size to accommodate who wants to enter it.

Functionality: if somebody decides to sleep inside the coffin, it will look like they’re dead. Pale skin, no heartbeat, cold body, no response when somebody brings up the dead’s Browser History, no activity, it will also show fake wounds to match the scene. All those who witnessed the character enter the coffin will have +6 to all the rolls that involve in some way the coffin, from creating a fake story of how the character is dead to lifting the coffin hand running with it, no restrictions on charisma rolls either.

Spell Idea

RePain

Functionality: Reproduce the last damage that the creature has suffered, it doesn’t function if the last hit failed, didn’t deal damage or was another RePain.

If the last attack required a save throw the creature targeted automatically fails (because it rolls the same number of the last time)

If the last attack was boosted by rage, or other mechanics player-based, the boost still applies. If the boost was due to some magic items that the RePain caster doesn’t have or isn’t affected by, the boost doesn’t applies, but the owner of the item can use a bonus action to throw the item (with advantage) to the RePain caster (the throw can happen on the attacker turn, taking their bonus action, or on the caster’s turn, taking their bonus action even if it’s the attacker who throws the item)

The spell fails if the last attack was 1 hour before the casting of RePain or if the player casting it wasn’t in a 50ft radius of the damage being dealed.

If the amount of damage dealt in the attack was reduced by any item/spell/etc that the enemy used the RePain spell will deal the normal amount of damage.

The RePain spell can’t be redirectionated towards the caster nor the original attacker.

The RePain spell doesn’t heal the player casting it if the original attack counted a heal on the attacker, but it does heal the original attacker by the same amount.

The RePain can be used as a cantrip or as a level 1 spell, when used as a cantrip it cant reproduce the same attack (ex: sword attack by player A, dagger by player B, fireball by player C, Eldritch Blast by player C, etc etc) twice (the OG attacker can be the same tho). When used as a level 1 spell it can, so an Eldritch Blast spammer can be “helped” by a RePain lvl1 spammer.

The RePain spell doesn’t replicate non-damaging spells (Minor Illusion, Charm Person).

If the bonus effect (blind, charmed, paralysed) of the last damage-dealing attack is already gone, the RePain spell reactivates it (if charmed or similar, the target is charmed by the RePain caster)

The RePain takes effect even if the original attacker is dead/unconscious/etc, possibly healing them if the original attack healed them even by just 1 HP.

Monster Idea

Meat worm

Description: A 55 ft long white worm-like creature, able to swallow a 6 ft person in just a few seconds. Along his body there are whiskers-like organs that are able to capture vibrations faster, and that the creature can control to use them as shovels to cover itself in snow or to cover its victim in case there are other people around.

Before the Meat worm attacks, everyone must roll a perception check, those who failed will be surprised (see Ambusher ⬇️)

Abilities:

Ambusher: In the first round of combat, the meat worm has advantage on attack rolls against any creature it has surprised.

Snow body: if it’s snowing or the meat worm is in a snowy terrain, it gains +5 AC, +10ft speed, +5 on Wisdom rolls, it gives disadvantage on all Perception rolls made my other creatures around it.

Actions:

Swallow: spends two rounds swallowing an enemy, at the start of the second turn it finishes swallowing its prey. While swallowing a creature, it can only defend itself using its tail/body and can’t make any opportunity attacks.

Bite: +5 to hit, reach 5 ft, one target, Hit: 15 (2d12+3) piercing damage

Acid spit: +3 to hit, reach 25 ft, AoE, 10 ft radius, Hit: 9 (1d6+6) acidic damage

Tail Whip: +2 to hit, reach 10 ft (from its tail), one target, Hit 7 (1d8+3) bludgeoning damage

After being swallowed the player must do a Strength Saving Throw to exit the worm (either ripping his body or exiting trough the mouth) and take 1d6 acid damage, after 3 turns the damage becomes 2d6, after 6 the damage becomes 4d6, after 9 the damage becomes 3d12, after 12 the damage becomes 6d12, after 15 the damage becomes 12d12, after 18 the damage becomes 24d6. If the character is still alive, the worm vomits them and from now on when attacking using its Bite attack, if the player attacked is the regurgitated one, it will attack twice. If the player is unarmored, they take +Xd4 acidic damage each time. X is the same number of dices that the turn says to roll (first 1, third 2, tenth 3,…)

Feat Idea

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.

Monster Idea

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.
