Martial Archetype: Cascade Warrior

This fighter subclass gets powerful features, but gaining them is based on consecutive successful attacks.

It was created at the request of a patron, who wanted something inspired by the style meter/mechanic of Devil My Come and similar games.

As always, such content comes in two versions of the PDF. The "less ink" one is designed to save you on costly ink when you want to print it out for use at the gaming table.

There is a stat block used for this, which can be found in the bees pdf in this secret santa post.

Treasure: Hoo the Owlbear

Created for Treasure Tuesday #97, this ragged stuffed toy was clearly treasured by its original owner, so much so that a dragon was willing to take it in trade.

Spell: Create Garden Gnome

Inspired by a post by a patron on my Discord server, this spell forms a small construct that will do simple tasks, though its primary purpose is to tend to plants near it.

The PDFs include both the spell description and a stat block for the garden gnome creature.

Artificer Specialization: Fleshcrafter

This unusual subclass for artificers was a commission for a higher-tier patron of the D&D arts, with inspiration taken from their description and from reading part of the Vampire: The Masquerade wiki.

Using flesh and bone as a mutable material, then infusing it with magic, the fleshcrafter modifies organic matter to suit their needs.

Plant: Dowsing Tree

This desert plant seems to have a way to locate fresh water, and it can actually move itself to reach that water.

Rod of the Storm's Touch

Unleash lots of lightning with this mystical copper bolt, then recharge it by a rather shocking method.

It provides partial protection from lightning, but recharging the rod is still going to hurt.

Treasure: The Dragon King's Egg

Some people keep things that remind them of their life for nostalgia, others do it so they can talk about themselves.

This was made for the 96th Treasure Tuesday, the day each week I make a free, unique, nonmagical treasure item for DMs to drop into their games.

Executioner

This heavy blade helps to make sure that creatures it puts down actually die.

This is a painting titled Who Is Orlin Breknib?. It is the final artwork by a famous artist, and many believe it to be an unusual take on a self portrait.

This is the 95th weekly, free, unique, nonmagical treasure that I've made for Treasure Tuesday.

Sacred Oath: Oath of the Wolf Moon

There was a request for a paladin that gains power from lycanthropy over on Reddit last night, and since tonight is a full moon, I decided to take the idea and run with it.

The standard version includes an illustration I originally made for The Amethyst Dragon's Hoard of Everything.

Magi Arms Pendant

This magical accessibility tool temporarily replaces one or most missing arms with magical ones that can be used to reach places flesh and blood arms can't.

Spell: Moist

This annoying curse was inspired by a character in an unusual miniseries, and the reference to the miniseries was inspired by someone's touching on lyrics from a song in a post on Bluesky.

The effects of this curse are, at first glance, just annoying. They can be more serious in specific circumstances though, which is why I made it a 3rd level spell.

Treasure: Mystic School Graduation Robe

This old graduation robe was kept as a memento by someone who must have a fondness for her school days.

This is the 94th creation I've made for Treasure Tuesday, the day each week I make a free, unique, nonmagical treasure item for DMs to drop into their games.

The inspiration behind this one: The fact it's the 94th weekly treasure. I graduated high school way back in '94.

NPC: Dogguard the Protector

This friendly, protective, but not so bright dogfolk is a cleric who is on a divine mission to protect others from danger.

Treasure: The Last Fool's Hat

Spell: Sorcerous Scrivener

This cantrip gives you a copy of yourself that follows you around and writes things down your words when you tell it to. You have to provide the ink, parchment, and a writing implement.

This was inspired by a response to one of my posts over on Bluesky.

Treasure: Deed to Hellingford Manor

This treasure is a reminder of how greed can tear a group of people apart. It might also be a good way to introduce a sidequest (haunted house, political intrique, treasure hunt for money, find a lost heir, etc.) or maybe reward PCs with a fixer-upper base.

This is the 92nd time I've created something for Treasure Tuesday, a day each week that I've been writing up new, unique, nonmagical treasures for DMs to drop into their games.
