    I love the idea of the party randomly being in a unicorn’s forest without knowing it while traveling and then having all these effects take hold and never have them find out why without some serious good rolls or a lot of investigation/research. They can’t start their fire at camp. The rouges curse completely disappears and then comes back the next day as they travel further.

    So some things that make a fair amount of sense with nagas is that the unnamed mystery race is in fact the Sarrukh one of the creator races of most reptile races. And the reason that Yuan-ti hate the Nagas is that they are both remnants of the shattered empire. (With Yuan-ti taking over the nation similarly to how the Roman empire fell to the goths)

    The funny thing is that I heard the Neogi discovered the Crystal Sphere where the Clockwork Horrors originated (a species that destroyed their creators and annihilated all life in their sphere) and inadvertently led them to discover their homeworld which they then destroyed, the Neogi refuse to admit this. Also, they actually do have an empire in space. Lastly I heard that in Eberron the Neogi were created by the Daelkyr from Dwarfs.

If it breaks, can I craft another one? How much it will cost? The purpose for the stone is only one, but if I make another can I change the purpose? I read the players handbook but it seems they don't talk much about the transmutation stone. Thanks for the help!

  • @commanderblackheart5856

    I came up with a sort of Tiefling-esc race based off of unicorns known a "Unicoid's" Unicoid's are what happens when a humanoid of any kind kill's a unicorn, as they are marked with a curse for there evil transgression that will change there appearance drastically: There legs will turn into cloven hooves, not dissimilar in shape to those of a Satyr with coloration of the unicorn they have killed, with there natural hair fallowing suit, there ear's would change shape (but not relocate, they will stay in the same place they where located in before the curse) and a unicorn's horn would sprout from the persons head. Unicoid's are often shunned by whatever society they where from due to there unforgivable act and are usually either exiled or executed out-right upon there discovery, this has lead many to a life of crime, mercenary work, our jobs of debauchery in order to get by. However, be it an act of mercy or an ironic punishment, the curse grants them extended lifespans, whether it's to give them time to seek repentance or to suffer the anguish of there friends and family growing old and dying with nothing but spiteful feelings towards them is unknown. Unicoid's can be made by other means however, as the curse can be carried throughout there bloodline, with Pureblood's being those who where born from Unicoid's reproducing with other humanoid races or even each other, with the name "Pureblood" referring to them inheriting there form from earlier in there bloodline, however they are often seen as untrustworthy as to the naked eye there is no way of distinguishing Pureblood's from Horn-killer's.

    I made my version of the Wendigo come in two variants: the undead "lesser" Wendigo which devours souls until it becomes a demonic "greater" variant. Both are pretty stand-alone monsters, not really going to be encountered in groups or with other monsters, so I made sure they had the stat-block to go toe-to-toes with a group of adventurers. Action economy is the greatest downfall to any amount of tension in a fight, so they have enough attacks in a round to severely deplete a group's resources in an encounter, or straight up kill even the tankiest player character in a 1-on-1 fight; the greater variant can get upwards of 5 attacks per round with a pretty good chance of poisoning a character with a curse. The wendigo is a terrifying cryptid and I wanted the stat block to reflect that. Don't get into a fight with a wendigo; it will kill you, it will eat you, and it will make you part of it.

    I think I have the best use of the alchemy jug, I had a dragonborn artificer who poured the salt water from the jug into a leather shield, used two swords as an anode and cathode and used his lightning breath to cause electrolysis to happen and create a bunch of h2 gas which exploded. I did a bunch of math with how many mol of h20 and how many mol of h2 would be created and used a bunch of numbers I found from a tesla coil research page and power from actual lightning bolts and it came out to like 700 sticks of tnt. So yeah I used an alchemy jug to blow up a city block.

    Hmm... well, aside from Gygax and his croonies wanting to fill more than a small blurb on a page with 'stuff' to spend your coin on, there were practical uses for every bit of it. Even more so if your a bit of a McGyver, you know? That acid was never 'defined' i.e., we never knew 'what sort' of acid it was. So when a clever player mused, "Hey, what if we pour some of that over priced acid on to that lock!?!" It was generally allowed and agreed upon around the table that the idea had merit, working or not. Lantern? C'mon, man. Ever tried to keep a candle lit in the wind? Poison has many uses, although most 'good' players won't think of them. Like, coating your blades before combat or 'getting rid of those pesky varmints' haunting your castle, and the occasional associate who poured acid onto one too many lanterns for their own good. Ball bearings? What? Are you serious? Awesome stuff, ball bearings. Starting with, 'hey! you can shoot them using slings' to slowing down that pesky ogre hell bent on asking you why you threw that acid bottle.

    I think the only way to kill a vampire troll would be to throw it into running water, which does acid damage for some reason. I think it'd be an interesting case of solving a classic vampire weakness against sunlight with the classic troll weakness against sunlight; it won't kill them, like a vampire, but it will turn them to stone, just delaying the problem until sun-down and you get a pissed off and starving cloud of mist sucking the blood from everyone's pores.

    The chains on the unicorn in the UK Coat of Arms, those chains were first added by the Scottish version and were a motif of Scottish heraldry centuries before 1603 (When our King James VI becomes King James I of England). Also I disagree that rainbows and equines can't be masculine; the horn is clearly a very phallic motif.

    In all honesty, Pan, despite all his antics, is only average for a Greek god. Zeus, Poseidon, Hermes, Apollo, they all bad. Pretty much any interaction between a mortal and a god, male or female or hermaphroditus, turned out poorly for the mortal. "What's that? Zeus forced himself on you? Well, here's a curse to go along with it." -Every interaction Hera has had with any of Zeus's flings.
