Additional Rules

Conditions

Certain effects apply conditions, all of which are listed below. Elden Ring status effects such as sleep, bleed, and poison have been converted over to work without needing conditions.

Deathblight

Some creatures and objects can cause a special condition called deathblight. Deathblight is measured in six levels. An effect can give a creature one or more levels of deathblight, specified in the effect's description.

Deathblight levels have no effect until a creature has 6 levels, at which point it dies.

If a creature with a level of deathblight suffers another effect that causes deathblight, its current level of deathblight increases by the amount specified in the effect's description.

Finishing a long or short rest removes all deathblight levels from a creature.

Frenzied Madness

Some creatures and objects can cause a special condition called frenzied madness. Frenzied madness is measured in three levels. An effect can give a creature one or more levels of frenzied madness, specified in the effect's description.

Frenzied madness levels have no effect until a creature has 3 levels. When a creature gains its third level, it takes psychic damage equal to 1d12 + its level or CR (whichever is applicable), and if it has spell slots, its highest level spell slot is expended. Additionally, it is stunned until the end of its next turn. After suffering these effects, the creature loses all its levels of frenzied madness.

If a creature with a level of frenzied madness suffers another effect that causes frenzied madness, its current level of frenzied madness increases by the amount specified in the effect's description.

Finishing a long or short rest removes all frenzied madness levels from a creature.

Frostbitten

  • A frostbitten creature's speed is halved.
  • The creature can take its action or bonus action, but not both.
  • Regardless of the creature’s abilities or magic items, it can’t make more than one melee or ranged attack during its turn.
  • If the creature takes fire damage, the condition ends.

Scarlet Rot

  • A creature that starts its turn with Scarlet Rot takes necrotic damage equal to its proficiency bonus.
Immunity

Non-humanoid creatures are usually immune to Frenzied Madness and Deathblight, and creatures with resistance or immunity to cold damage are usually immune to being frostbitten.

Weapon Rules

Converting Scaling and Other Common Effects

In Elden Ring, different weapons "scale" with different attributes. In this conversion, this is represented either by changing the attribute associated with the damage rolls of a non-magical weapon using different types of whetstones (see the Ashes of War document), or by similar, unchangable properties that are part of magic items. Additional properties of magic weapons will be listed aside their rarity.

Such properties are listed below.

Property Description
Aflame When rolling damage for this weapon, add your Wisdom or Charisma modifier (your choice) instead its usual ability modifier. The added damage is fire damage.
Aflame (Optional) When rolling damage for this weapon, you can choose to add your Wisdom or Charisma modifier (your choice) modifier instead of its usual ability modifier. Either way, the added damage is fire damage.
Bleed When you score a critical hit against a creature with this weapon, it takes an extra 5d4 piercing damage.
Death When rolling damage for this weapon, add your Intelligence modifier instead its usual ability modifier. The added damage is necrotic damage.
Frostbite The first time you hit a creature with this weapon on a turn, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to 12 + your proficiency bonus. Upon failure, it is frostbitten until the end of its next turn.
Sorcerous When rolling damage for this weapon, add your Intelligence modifier instead its usual ability modifier. The added damage is force damage.
Sorcerous (Optional) When rolling damage for this weapon, you can choose to add your Intelligence modifier instead of its usual ability modifier. Either way, the added damage is force damage.
Occult When rolling damage for this weapon, add your Constitution modifier instead of its usual ability modifier.

Rotten The first time you hit a creature with this weapon on a turn, it must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to 12 + your proficiency bonus. Upon failure, it suffers from the scarlet rot until the end of its next turn.
Property Description
Sacred When rolling damage for this weapon, add your Wisdom or Charisma modifier (your choice) instead of its usual ability modifier. The added damage is radiant damage.
Sacred (Optional) When rolling damage for this weapon, you can choose to add your Wisdom or Charisma modifier (your choice) instead of its usual ability modifier. Either way, the added damage is radiant damage.

These properties exist for readability and consistency. When copying down a magic item into your character sheet, it would be wise to also copy the text of its properties.

If you wish to ignore these scaling rules, simply remove these properties from the weapon and reduce their rarity.

Ashes of War

Each magic weapon is infused with an Ash of War, which can be used an amount of times equal to your proficiency bonus. An expended use is shared between all Ashes of War. All expended uses are regained upon completing a short or long rest.

You can find more rules about Ashes of War by viewing the Ashes of War part of this conversion here. One very important detail about Ashes of War is that when they deal damage in amounts of d6, that amount increases depending on your level - check the document for details.

Smithing Stones

The bonus to attack and damage rolls of a weapon depends on whether it has been upgraded with smithing stones. This is an optional rule - if you would like to ignore this rule, simply assign each magic item in this conversion a bonus based on its rarity: rare, very rare and legendary magic weapons are +1, +2 and +3 weapons respectively.

Sombre Smithing Stone (1)

Wondrous item, rare


When applied to a magic weapon by a creature with proficiency in blacksmithing tools, this stone grants a weapon without any bonuses a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls.

Append "+1" to the name of any item upgraded by this stone. If the item's rarity was lower than rare, it becomes rare.

Sombre Smithing Stone (2)

Wondrous item, very rare


When applied to a magic weapon by a creature with proficiency in blacksmithing tools, this stone transforms the bonus of a +1 magic weapon into a +2.

Replace "+1" with "+2" in the name of any item upgraded by this stone. If the item's rarity was lower than than very rare, it becomes very rare.

Sombre Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone (3)

Wondrous item, legendary


When applied to a magic weapon by a creature with proficiency in blacksmithing tools, this stone transforms the bonus of a +2 magic weapon into a +3.

Replace "+2" with "+3" in the name of any item upgraded by this stone. If the item's rarity was lower than than legendary, it becomes legendary.

Smithing Stone (1)

Wondrous item, rare


When applied to a non-magical weapon by a creature with proficiency in blacksmithing tools, this stone grants a weapon without any bonuses a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls.

Append "+1" to the name of any item upgraded by this stone. If the item's rarity was lower than rare, it becomes rare.

Smithing Stone (2)

Wondrous item, very rare


When applied to a non-magical weapon by a creature with proficiency in blacksmithing tools, this stone transforms the bonus of a +1 weapon into a +2.

Replace "+1" with "+2" in the name of any item upgraded by this stone. If the item's rarity was lower than than very rare, it becomes very rare.

Ancient Dragon Smithing Stone (3)

Wondrous item, legendary


When applied to a non-magical weapon by a creature with proficiency in blacksmithing tools, this stone transforms the bonus of a +2 weapon into a +3.

Replace "+2" with "+3" in the name of any item upgraded by this stone. If the item's rarity was lower than than legendary, it becomes legendary.

Magical vs Non-Magical

For the purposes of this conversion, there are two types of weapons - magical and non-magical. A magical weapon generally has a rarity and an extra magical effect or permanent Ash of War infusion (listed in this document), whereas a non-magical weapon is a mundane weapon with no additional effects.

Upgrading a non-magical weapon with a smithing stone does not make it into a magical weapon. Similarly, infusing a mundane weapon with a new Ash of War or enchanting it using a spell does not make it into a magical weapon, however it may cause it to do magical damage.

Two Paths

Generally, when deciding between weapons, you will have two paths:

One, infuse an ash of war into a mundane weapon, and upgrade it using smithing stones. Optionally, you can use an affinity to customise damage type and scaling.

Two, upgrade a magic item with sombre smithing stones, but be unable to change its Ash of War. The damage scaling of the weapon will always depend on its properties.

This weapon deals radiant damage instead of slashing, and it deals additional damage equal to your Wisdom or Charisma modifier (your choice) on a hit.

This weapon is infused with the following Ash of War, which cannot be removed:

Wave of Gold. Using your action, you imbue the blade with glorious power, like the god from which it was wrought. You then swing the blade in a wide arc, unleashing the power in a golden wave that sweeps across the landscape.

Each creature of your choice in a 120-foot cone must make a Constitution saving throw with a DC equal to 8 + your Wisdom or Charisma modifier (your choice) + your proficiency bonus. On a failed save, they take 10d10 radiant damage, or half as much on a successful one.
