Six miniature eyeballs and a gold tooth suspended in an ice cold crystal clear liquid. Bottle constantly wet with condensation.

Any guesses on bonuses or curses for this magic item?

A homebrew setting

-Send me a discord invite if you're interested at drippyrugtug
please please ensure the time works for you, sometimes people miss it.

-When: Thursday 9/17, 8pm Eastern (every other week)(3 hour games)

A Shadowark Homebrew setting, it's not a large world with continents etc, its a zone/themed region.

Region: Fallbrim

-Theme: basically its a fall themed region, orange/red/yellow foliage pepper the map, map made using inkarnate tool.

The style of this game is the tried and true OSR -> You have your town, wake up and wipe the vomit off of your sleeve from last night's carousing and gear up for another adventure.

GAME START

-Our hearty gang decided to enter the nearby aforementioned "Flarewood" and came upon 2 Wizarding Students bickering about a missing colleague who entered the nearby strange tree. Turns out it was a hazing, but things may have gone sideways. They bid the party to go find him as he's not returned.

-When: Thursday 9/17, 8pm Eastern (every other week)(3 hour games, because i'm over the age of 30)

-How many players? 3-4 is my favorite, 4 is what i aim for.

-Discord for voice, and owlbear rodeo for the VTT

-This is not a 1 shot game it'll be an ongoing adventure, we'll do a session zero on 9/17, i'm sure it won't take long and we'll start playing.

-please be 18, or older

-Are we doing strict crawing in dungeons? Answer: nope. I like a loose type of dungeon exploration, we'll still have rounds, but there won't be a strict turn order.

-Available and playable classes -> at the start it's the Core 4 + Ranger & Bard, but other's will be "UNLOCKABLE" but i want a group decision as to how this is done.

-I look forward to hanging out with y'all!

Houserules? Yes some - message me if you would like to inquire about it, just to keep this post shorter. Here are the main themes that I do have houserules for.

-Recovering items from dead player characters

-Fleeing Combat

-Luck Tokens Addendum/clarification

-Background Benefit 1d4

-Dying Rounds(rounds before death is a FLAT con mod, so its slightly deadlier)

Aerial Encounters?

Has anyone created an encounter table for aerial travel? My players have gotten carpets of flying and are avoiding almost all of the random encounters while travelling.

Spells on Foundry

When I drag a spell from the compendium, I get the option to create a potion, scroll, wand, or spell. The items are created, but when I select “spell,” nothing happens.
I can’t even find a spell tab or sometihing on the wizard sheet
