I’ve gone for a mix of real phenomena and fantastical things, though I think the overall weirdness level is still fairly tame. There are also a few important Vodari lore nods showing up here.

In some, it’s even the main source of magic items! Anyway, in this article I’m thinking about what some of those cool items might be. I guess I should clarify that this is proposed canon at this point – Shawn and the other writers are seeing this for the first time here in this article along with you.

It’s inspired by the same ideas as a roguish archetype I posted in Harbinger of Doom almost five years ago, but I’ve reworked the flavor text to fit aquatic peoples of Vodari, and very few words of the mechanics have survived into this version.   Midnight Mask Roguish Archetype The tradition of the Midnight Masks comes from rogues borrowing the visages of the unsettling creatures found in the […]

Back when we were writing the original Seas of Vodari book we looked bringing in a sea singer type bard similar to Rich Howard’s College of the Sea Singers which focuses on enchantment. For the book, we ended up going with the College of Nature and College of Shanties, but I kept this concept […]

That’s just colleges for you. Anyway, carving out seriously new space for bardic colleges isn’t always easy, and this one is pretty weird. It takes some mechanical inspiration from the recent UA College of Spirits. Bardic College of the Deep Dreamer | Bardic College of the Sunlit Seas College of […]

D&D has rules for magical interactions underwater, but if all or much of the campaign takes place there, maybe you want to cut out things that underwater spellcasters never would bothered to hand down from generation to generation.

I wrote about another set of them in the long-long ago of 2019 (specifically, a year ago next week); some of those made it into the book, some of those got too clearly overlapped by Ghosts of Saltmarsh ship upgrades, and some just didn’t make the cut.
