The Mad Science Artificer can be found on our Patreon along with 17 other subclasses, 5 of them free! Check our bio!

Art by @butturdapple.bsky.social #DnD #DungeonsandDragons
There is a thin line between brilliance and madness, and those that call themselves Artificers walk it often. The descent into Mad Science is paved with good intentions by a desire to fix some unsolvable problem in the world. Whether an Artificer’s ends justify the means, those that practice Mad Science push the envelope of what is physically possible, and what is morally acceptable. Mad Scientist Level 5 Mad Science Feature Your tools are an extension of your mind. When you expend a spell slot to cast an Artificer spell through a tool you are proficient with, you can enhance its effect on one creature. The effect is determined by the tool used in the spell’s casting. Alchemist’s Supplies. When you cast an Abjuration spell, the target gains a bonus equal to your Intelligence modifier on their next saving throw. Leatherworker’s Tools. When you cast a spell that requires Concentration, choose one creature affected by the spell. It gains Temporary Hit Points at the start of each of its turns equal to your Intelligence modifier.

Find the Twins Patron Warlock D&D subclass on our Patreon through our bio!

Art by @butturdapple.bsky.social #DnDArt #DungeonsandDragons
The Twins Patron Warlock draws from the magic of a pact made with two powerful beings. Extraplanar entities, such as these, usually share dominion over a place, source of power, or domain. Twin Patrons can have their own agendas but ultimately work together toward a common goal with their Warlock. Twin Empowerment Level 3 Twins Feature After a Long Rest, choose one of the Twins to manifest their power. The twin you choose determines which Warlock features you have access to. Pathos Twin. Whenever you take the Help action to grant Advantage on an ability check, you can give the ally you are assisting an additional 1d6 bonus to the result of the roll. Kairos Twin. Whenever you take the Help action to grant Advantage on an attack roll, you can give the ally you are assisting an additional 1d6 bonus to the result of the roll.

Shout out to the very first person who felt so inspired by one of our Dungeons and Dragons magic items, they actually made it IRL!

Do you have any props you made, or received in a TTRPG game? Share them with us in the comments!
A Tumblr post of a person who made a real life version of a homebrew magic item. It says in the tags "this is so funny i might put it in my campaign. One of my players would LOVE this. ttrpg. dnd." Followed by a repost saying, "I gave one of my players this rock, so I made one of my players this rock." Pictured is a rock painted white with the words "Property of Darb" in purple paint and Darb in glittery gold paint with a gold glittery outline along the rock. Darb’s Shiny RockWondrous Item, rare“A pretty rock! No different than any other rock, really, but this one is pretty.”While holding this rock, if you fail an Intelligence, Wisdom or Charisma ability check, you gain a +1 bonus to damage rolls.

One of our Discord Community Campaign players slew and harvested a Phase Spider (thanks Heliana's!) and made two daggers from them.

Most who have witnessed Wild Magic show it some level of respect, but have you ever wanted that chaos to respect you in return?

Our Fey Royalty Sorcerer subclass for Dungeons & Dragons is free to download! #DnD5e #TTRPG

Art by @butturdapple.bsky.social
Fey Royalty Sorcerer, a third party Dungeons and Dragons subclass. The chaotic energies of the fey flow through the veins of Sorcerer’s that come from Fey Royalty. They can see the power in disorder, and control that which was thought to be wild. Chaos becomes their sword. Some use it to make reality bend the knee. Others channel their birthright over the unpredictable for more noble pursuits. Bend the Knee Level 14 Fey Royalty Feature The majesty and regal nature of Fey Royalty is undeniable, and there is power in the respect it commands. Your sorcerous origins can manifest in a magnificent or fearsome manner. As a Magic action, all creatures of your choice within 120 feet that can see you must make a Charisma saving throw against your spell save DC or have the Charmed condition until the end of your next turn. Charmed creatures immediately kneel and must spend their next turn groveling and cannot take any actions or move. Roll on the Wild Magic Surge table, and any creatures that made a successful save are affected by that Wild Magic Surge effect.

What is one of your lesser known rules that always surprises people when you point it out in RAW?

As a Rogue main, only being able to use Sneak Attack once per TURN, not per ROUND, means an Opportunity Attack can be done sneakily!
A D&D meme of someone whispering into another person's ear saying, “You can sneak attack again on an opportunity attack.” the next image shows hair standing up on their arm labeled as ‘Rogues’.

Plushie of Power, Tarrasque Wondrous Item, legendary (requires attunement) “A stuffed plush of the terrifying and legendary creature known as the Tarrasque, but instead of terrifying, it’s frighteningly cute and adorable!” This plushie of power is a wool-stuffed recreation of the creature, big enough to cuddle and hold in your arms. If you use an action to speak the command word and throw the plushie to a point on the ground within 60 feet of you, the figurine becomes a living creature. If the space where the creature would appear is occupied by other creatures or objects, or if there isn't enough space for the creature, the plushie doesn't become a creature. The creature is friendly to you and your companions. It understands your languages and obeys your spoken commands. If you issue no commands, the creature defends itself but takes no other actions. The creature exists for a duration specific to each plushie. At the end of the duration, the creature reverts to its plushie form. It reverts to a plushie early if it drops to 0 hit points or if you use an action to speak the command word again while touching it. When the creature becomes a plushie again, its property can't be used again until a certain amount of time has passed, as specified in the plushie's description. Tarrasque. This plushie is of the legendary tarrasque. It can become a tarrasque for up to 6 seconds. It cannot use legendary actions.

When you attune to this plushie your Strength score increases by 4, to a maximum of 24.

Encyclopedia Monstera Wondrous Item, very rare “This magic tome has only a couple hundred pages within it, but most of them are blank at any given time. It isn’t until the tome is consulted about a specific monster or creature that the pages begin to fill.

If you take at least one minute to consult this magic tome you have advantage on the roll. If you have a part of a creature (dragon scale, owlbear feather, etc.) you can record information about that creature in the magic tome. You can then choose to learn one of the following pieces of information about it; one ability score, resistance, vulnerability or immunity. When offering parts to this magic tome, each offering must come from a different individual creature. Three owlbear feathers from the same owlbear, yield only one offering. For every piece of information you record about a creature you gain a +1 bonus to ability skill checks when dealing with that creature while you possess this magic tome.

Sometimes in a D&D campaign, you know you're walking in with a bad plan.

Come prepared.
A magic item for use in Dungeons & Dragons 5th edition tabletop role-playing game. This is a homebrew magic item created by Cloaks & Capes. Candle of Second Chances Consumable, very rare (requires attunement) “This candle is perfectly symmetrical, made of a prismatic wax with a golden wick. There are Abjuration, Necromancy and Transmutation runes carved into it, all of them various sizes. The candle cannot be lit by flames and instead begins to burn once someone attunes to it. Once lit it burns to completion.” When you attune to this magical candle the wick begins to burn and once lit it cannot be extinguished. For the next 12 hours as the wick and candle burn, if you fail three Death Saving Throws and die or are killed by an attack outright, your body will regenerate with full Hit Points within an unoccupied, safe space within 5 feet of the candle. Your original body vanishes and any items you were wearing or carrying remain where you died. The candle is destroyed after 12 hours or if you are regenerated by it, whichever comes first.
