[Infinity] Monsters - Fractals

These fractals were originally part of the paradict's design but eventually spun off into their own thing. The chaos fractal is one of my favorites - just random things happening throughout battle, both good and bad as chaos should be. The Infinity fractal is a defensive monster that uses the exploding dice mechanic as much as possible - incapacitating its Infinity Shield should be a first priority. Finally, Void Fractals are ambushers that steal targets away from battles and hides in shadows, encouraging players to light up the surrounding...

[Infinity] Weapon - Chronostad Needle

I somehow completely forgot to post this?? Sorry everyone 😅---This javelin is originally the gnomon of the Apotheose Dial, a mythical artifact capable of sending its users through space and time. The javelin is a powerful magic item in its own right, capable of altering the passage of time for its wielder.---Chronostad NeedleWeapon (javelin), legendary (requires attunement)You have a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon, and you deal an additional 1d6 force damage whenever you hit with it.Chronostatic. When you mak...

[Infinity] Item - Superposition Charm

How do you deal with a Schrodinger's rogue?---Chronoi Wardens of the Infinity Guard gain these charms along with their rank promotion to ensure they do not prematurely fall in battle. The few who used its power have described the feeling of simultaneous conscious and unconscious states as "existentially terrifying."---Superposition CharmWondrous item, very rareDual-State. If you are reduced to 0 hit points while you wear this charm, you can use a reaction to delay falling unconscious or dying by superimposing your personal state bet...

[Infinity] Artifact - Apotheose Dial

Given the multiversal nature of the Infinity Guard, I realized a sundial would be very appropriate. It also lets me design items for less popular weapons like the javelin. This artifact is a big one and provides a way to travel through time (if your game even wants to touch that). The catch is that the dial doesn't travel with you, so unless you have secured the dial, the dial may not be where you expect once you arrive.This artifact is also a set (which are always fun). On its own, it doesn't do much (aside from a very useful augury an...

[Infinity] Shield - Dimensional Sieve

This shield is originally the face of the Apotheose Dial, a mythical artifact capable of sending its users through space and time. The shield is a powerful magic item in its own right, capable of changing dimensional lengths around its wielder.---Dimensional SieveShield, very rare (requires attunement)You have a +1 bonus to your AC while you wield this magic shield. This bonus is in addition to the shield's normal bonus to AC.Distant Step. While attuned to this shield, you contract the fabric of space around you. Your speeds increases by 10...

[Infinity] Weapon - Hypermace

The whole reason I made this theme was so I could draw some optical illusions. My favorite kind is Escher-esque drawings with strange geometry (like the Penrose Stairs), but it turns out most optical illusions are bendy lines or grey dots, so there weren't many ideas for this theme. I also really like Gestalt Switches, but I definitely don't have the time to draw full paintings. Maybe a duck-bunny monster?Maybe I can explore more optical illusion ideas in an illusion or dreamscape-based theme.---This mace's physical state continues ...

[Infinity] Weapon - Contradent

It is always unclear how many prongs protrude from this trident-like weapon. Newly promoted Chronoi Sentinels are often tasked with obtaining an anomalous weapon like this one, designed to grow in power as their rank increases. Those who wield this trident can effectively maintain distance from the deadlier temporal scavengers.---ContradentWeapon (trident), uncommon (requires attunement)This magic weapon partially breaches into higher dimensions. Whenever you hit a creature with this weapon, you deal a bonus 1d4 force damage to it. This bonus i...

July Theme Poll

Welcome all the new patrons! The biopunk and blood magic mixed theme was really fun to explore; I'm pretty proud of the polymutics and hybrid templates. I would love to hear about anyone who used these in their games. As always, I can't do any of this without your gracious support — thank you so much!This month's theme is a little muddy but I centered it around "Infinity" with a mix of multiversal stuff, wibbly wobbly time stuff, and a bit of optical illusion to add to the extradimensional nature of it — and not as parad...

[Infinity] Weapon - Axonomaly

If the illusion is not readily apparent, the prongs of the hexagonal hammerheads somehow all meet the rod as if they were flat!---This weapon's physical state never seems to settle no matter from which angle one looks at it. Newly promoted Chronoi Sentinels are often tasked with obtaining an anomalous weapon like this one, designed to grow in power as their rank increases. Those who wield this weapon usually require discretion and flexibility.---AxonomalyWeapon (battleaxe and warhammer), uncommon (requires attunement)This magic weapon is si...

[Infinity] Weapon - Fractal Coil

This long whip spirals inward indefinitely, forming beautiful geometric patterns that appear to waver on their own accord. Unlike other fractal weapons, this whip can hunt and restrain targets with unparalleled efficiency, provided its wielder is experienced. Chronoi Sentinels unable to obtain an anomalous weapon must train with this whip for the interim, but those who master it continue to use it well into their careers.---Fractal CoilWeapon (whip), rare (requires attunement)Slip Between Flesh. You score a critical hit on a roll of 19 or 20 wi...

[Collab] Item - Stenographer's Folio

Wizards or wealthy students who cannot be bothered with the effort of note-taking turn to this notebook. However, they find more use as eavesdrop tools among thieves and investigators.---Stenographer's FolioWondrous item, uncommonWhen found, each book contains 12 (2d6+5) pages of blank magical parchment. You can use an action to tear a page from the book. When a creature within 10 feet of the page speaks its command word (usually "Begin Transcript"), the page magically transcribes the words spoken by a creature within 10 feet of it....

[Infinity] Weapon - Vanishing Point

The tip of this rapier tapers to an imperceivable tip. Records say the rapier was not forged, but found by an intrepid Chronot Warden in the Voidhollows. Temporal analysis indicates an origin of indeterminate age, suggesting it either existed since the dawn of time or was left behind by a temporal visitor.---Vanishing PointWeapon (rapier), legendary (requires attunement by a character with an Intelligence of 13 or higher)Advanced Weapon. Only creatures with an Intelligence score of 13 or higher can attune to this weapon.Zero Apex. You have a +1...

[Infinity] Item - Eternal Parchment

The clerks of the Infinity Guard maintain their records in extremely tidy fashion, storing billions of books' worth of information in a single shelf, but the time it takes to find any archived information tends to take longer than a lifetime.---Eternal ParchmentWondrous item, uncommonThis roll contains magical parchment of seemingly infinite length. You can draw and write onto the parchment indefinitely; information previously written on the parchment seems to disappear when out of view and create additional writing space. The magical parch...

[Infinity] Weapon - Infinity Edge

We're kicking off the Infinity Guard for June! It's mostly centered around a time paradox preventing agency, which involves a bit of time travel, combat, extradimensional creatures, and paradoxes! This one was originally designed for the Cosmos compendium, but it didn't make the cut.---This blade seems to thin to an impossible cutting edge. Each swing with it threatens to tear the very air itself. Only the most capable combatants, those as keen as the blade, know how to wield it safely and effectively.---Infinity EdgeWeapon (dagger)...

[Compendium] The Polymer Lab

Yet again instead of ~15 pages per compendium I've been planning on, I've created a 36 page compendium. I don't think this will happen again because I need to sleep more.Download the pdf to check out 4 pages of lore about the Polymer Lab, 8 adventure hooks, 13 hybrid templates, a wizard subclass, 30 new items, and 10 new monsters including a 3-phase boss monsterHead over to this post to read about the awesome 3-phase campaign boss monster, the Fleshwarp Homunculus.

[Polymer] Monster - Fleshwarp Homunculus

I was reading up on mythic traits and I wanted to try making some stronger monsters that could make use of them. I was also thinking about boss monsters and really wanted to see if I could make a 3-stage monster work. I ended up with the fleshwarp amalgamate, goliath, and colossus — defeating one evolves it into the other. I'm pretty happy with some of the actions and traits, especially Blood Boiling (which forces vulnerability on enemies) and I can't wait to try it out in a game! We'll have to see if they're balanced.It's...

[Polymer] Wizard - School of Biomancy

I was struggling to make a biomancy-focused wizard for the Cosmos compendium. It was hard to make something special given how restrictive the subclass chassis was and how broad biomancy really i, but I took another attempt. It's possibly stale, but should have enough flavor for a biomancer character.---The School of Biomancy lurks in the recesses of arcane society, centered around modifications to the human body. As you focus on the dark intersection between abjuration, necromancy and transmutation, you learn to change, enhance, and otherwi...

[Polymer] Artifact - Arathin's Rod of Reanimation

Attached to this rod is a hemoglobe containing a drop of blood from Arathin, the God of Knowledge and Death, stolen centuries ago by an unknown godslayer. The rod itself is forged from tempered necropyre, fitted with conduits that collects charge from the storming skies. With the blood as the catalyst, this rod can revive even the most stubborn of enemies, and the lich-king Agonus wielded it to maintain his army.---Arathin's Rod of ReanimationWondrous item (quarterstaff), artifact (requires attunement)You have a +3 bonus to attack and damag...

[Polymer] Item - Hemoglobe

A curious discovery by practitioners of blood magic, these tiny spheres have served inquisitors of the Empire of Blood for decades during their conquest of the western reaches. Its dark magic circumvents the need for individually enchanted magic gear.---HemoglobeWondrous item, rareBlood Collector. This small globe magically suspends, preserves, and holds up to 10 drops of fresh blood. You can spend 1 minute adding or removing blood from the globe, all of which must belong to creatures of the same type. If you add blood whose type differs from t...
