Creature Loot

Whenever I get the chance to play D&D, I think a lot about how my character changes between sessions, and over the course of the campaign. This probably comes from my beginnings as a story gamer - it was expected that you would have some sort of character development over the course of our 6-8 month campaigns.

But there's more than just updating character traits. I like the idea that the appearance of a character changes drastically over the course of their adventures. For magic users, it's fairly obvious. Wizards get zanier, warlocks get corrupted, druids get more plant- or animal-esque, and clerics become more eminently divine. But I think martial characters should change as well, aside from just getting more scars and injuries.

I love the idea of a character who picks the useful bits from the bodies of his fallen foes. Maybe they have a shield crafted from a Bulette shell and a sword that is an Ankheg leg after their fight with the Cult of Elemental Earth. Maybe a cleric gives up their holy symbol when they get the chance to use angel feathers as their magic focus instead.

As for creating the items themselves, I have a few goals while writing the items:

1. Number of items found on a creature should approximately equal CR. 1d4 small items can count as a single items, and tattered equipment (see below) doesn't count.
2. Make tool proficiencies more useful. Some items can't be used until they are crafted into a workable item by someone trained with the proper equipment.
3. Make basic balance considerations - lower CR creatures should give items about equivalent to adventuring gear (PHB pg. 150), while higher CR creatures can give items that are equivalent to or craftable into magic items.

Acererak (23)

Undead (religion)

• 1 Staff of the Forgotten One (Tomb of Annihilation pg. 208)
• 1 Talisman of the Sphere (DMG pg. 207)
• 1 Sphere of Annihilation (DMG pg. 201)
• 1 Skull of Acererak. Requires attunement. Can be used as an arcane focus and grants an attuned creature resistance to cold, lightning, necrotic, and poison damage. After 1d10 days, the skull reforms into Acererak with full Hp and abilities. If the Phylactery is destroyed, this item crumbles into useless dust.
• 1 Clue to the Phylactery. This item is a clue to Acererak's phylactery's true location.
• 2d6 Bones of the Lich. No immediate use. Can be carefully crafted by a spellcaster (Necromancy) into a Potion of Turn Resistance (an undead creature who consumes or is doused in this potion gains advantage on saving throws against effects that turn undead for 1 hour).
• 1 Left Hand of Acererak. Acts as an improvised melee weapon. On a hit, a target takes 10 (3d6) cold damage and must succeed on a DC 20 Constitution saving throw or be paralyzed for 1 minute. The creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. If the creature's saving throw is successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is immune to this effect for the next 24 hours.
• 1 Tome of Darkness. Incomprehensible to those who are not Wizards. A month of study will yield a method to become a Lich. This allows a wizard to create or obtain a Phylactery and a Potion of Transformation. Additionally, the method requires the ability to cast Imprisonment to transfer the Wizard's soul into the Phylactery. A PC that is turned into a Lich becomes an Evil NPC under the DM's control. The details of the ritual will vary from book to book, but may involve any of the following:
  • Forming a pact with a Fiend, Evil God, or Dark Power
  • Ritual Sacrifice or Murder
  • Using Material Components gained only by killing Celestials
  • Being a master (14th level or higher) in the School of Necromancy
• 1 Spellcasting Component Pouch
• 1 Arcane Focus
• 3 Uncommon Magic Items. Chosen by the DM. Acererak keeps these curiosities to study, not to use, and they do not affect Acererak's CR.
• 2 Rare Magic Items. Chosen by the DM. Acererak keeps these curiosities to study, not to use, and they do not affect Acererak's CR.
• 1 Spellbook. Contains 4 random spells of 5th level or lower that can be copied by a wizard.
• 4d4 Skill Books. Contains knowledge concerning a certain skill and topic that Acererak was interested in. For example: History (Gods of the Dead). Using the book for 5 minutes is equivalent to rolling a 15 on the related skill.
• 2 Flasks of Alchemist's Fire

• 2d4 Lengths of Vine. Acts as a 20 foot length of rope.
• 1d4 Bunches of Assassin Vine Fruit. Tough, with a hearty but bitter flavor. If planted and watered, grows into an Assassin Vine in 3d4 weeks.

Atropal (13)

Undead (religion)

• 1 Negative Energy Tether. This item can only be looted if the Atropal was killed without severing its umbilical cord. Creatures within 30 feet of the Negative Energy Tether can't regain hit points, and any creature that starts its turn within 30 feet of the Tether takes 10 (3d6) necrotic damage. Can be mastercrafted by a spellcaster (conjuration) into a portal to the Negative Plane. The portal retains the properties of the Negative Energy Tether, except their range increases to 60 feet, and the necrotic damage increases to 21 (6d6). A creature can use the portal to enter the Negative Plane.
• 2d4 Atropal Fingers. Acts as a club that deals 3d6 necrotic damage on a hit. If a creature or object made of organic material is in contact with the finger, it takes 10 (3d6) necrotic damage at the start of its turn or at initiative count 20 (for objects). If a creature wielding the finger rolls a critical miss on their attack roll, they take 10 (3d6) necrotic damage.
• 3d4 Vials of Stinking Ichor. No immediate use. Can be mastercrafted by a spellcaster (Necromancy) into a Poison of Undeath. A creature that imbibes the poison must succeed on a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or take 36 (8d8) necrotic damage. If this damage reduces the creature to 0 hit points, it dies and immediately rises as a zombie. The zombie is not controlled by anyone and acts as a normal zombie would.
• 2 Atropal Eyes. As an action, a creature that can cast spells can destroy the eye to cast Cone of Cold. Can be mastercrafted by a spellcaster (Transmutation) into a Staff of Frost.
• 1 Heart of an Unborn God. Requires attunement. A creature attuned to the heart has advantage on saving throws against spells and other magical effect, except those originating from the Heart. As an action, the attuned creature can summon a wraith, which materializes within 30 feet of the heart in an unoccupied space the attuned creature can see. The wraith obeys the attuned creature's commands and can't be controlled by any other creature. The wraith vanishes when it drops to 0 hit points, the attunement ends, or the attuned creature dies. Once this ability has been used, it cannot be used again until the next dawn. Curse. Each day at dawn, and whenever a wraith is summoned using the heart, the attuned creature must succeed on a DC 19 Constitution saving throw or gain 1 level of exhaustion. The attuned creature does not lower their level of exhaustion on a long rest as long as the attunement remains.
• 2d4 Chunks of Flesh of an Unborn God. If consumed as an action, increases the apparent age of a humanoid by 3d10 years, to a maximum of the creature's natural lifespan. This effect doesn’t shorten the creature’s lifespan. For the remainder of the creature’s mortal life, their emotions manifest as slight unearthly effect (similar to the Thaumaturgy spell) in a 5-foot cube they occupy. This imposes disadvantage on Charisma (Deception) checks if the creature is emotionally invested in the topic of deception.
• 2 Atropal Skin. Acts as a blanket. Can be carefully crafted (leatherworker's tools) into Hide Armor. A creature wearing the armor gains resistance to cold and necrotic damage, and bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage from nonmagical attacks. If the creature is dealt radiant damage, the armor crumbles into dust.

Bodak (6)

Undead (religion)

• 2 Bodak Eyes. No immediate use. Can be carefully crafted by a spellcaster (evocation) into an Amulet of Withering, which can cast Inflict Wounds (+5 to hit) once per day.

A humanoid creature that imbibes the potion must make a DC 13 Constitution saving throw. On a failed save, the creature takes 21 (6d6) poison damage. If the creature is killed by this damage, it immediately returns as a Bodak. The Bodak is hostile to all living creatures. On a successful save, the creature takes half the poison damage and is not transformed into a Bodak if killed.
• 1 Bodak Hide. Requires attunement. Any creature within 30 feet of the Bodak Hide takes 5 necrotic damage at the start of its turn. Undead, fiends, and the attuned creature are immune to this effect. The attuned creature has this immunity during the 1 hour attunement process, but if the creature abandons the attunement before it is completed, they take necrotic damage equal to the amount they would have taken if they had not been immune to it. If the Bodak Hide is exposed to sunlight, it loses these properties and becomes nonmagical.
• 1 Zombified Hand. Acts as an arcane focus when casting necromancy spells.
• 1 Dessicated Heart of Orcus. While holding the heart, it can be used to cast Plane Shift as a ritual. Only the creature holding the heart may shift. This consumes the heart. When the spell is cast, roll 1d20. On a 1, the bearer is shifted to Orcus's layer in the Abyss instead of the intended destination.

While a creature is attuned to the staff, they must make a DC 12 Charisma saving throw at the end of each long rest and when they expend a charge from the staff. This saving throw is rolled with disadvantage if made due to a charge being expended. On a failed save, an Aspect of Imix (using the stats of a Fire Elemental) appears to the attuned creature, offering fiery power in exchange for servitude.
