Enchanted Trinkets: Treasured Toadstools
🕑 Added 2023-06-21 13:56:03 +0000 UTCOf course the druid or ranger wants to forage about in the sewers or wilderness so let them have some fun with mushrooms! Here are 20 fantastic fungi for adventurers to pick up—although it's not so simple as that. Each has a counterpart that can be difficult to distinguish, and those who don't take care might find that the mushbubble they've pulled over their head to breathe underwater is actually a frogwallop that tries to suffocate, or that the frost agaric they're eating to stay warm is really a flame agaric that makes them chillier instead! Diplanetic designs by Andrew Engelbrite, illustrated by Rachel Maduro.

It was an instant hit with my group! The moment they figured out one mushroom had been picked in error was awesome.

I'm going to share this with my DM, because our Fighter is also into poisons (because back story) and she's always looking for fun fungi. Our rogue is always on the lookout for poisons to coat her daggers, but she frequently "harvests" those from Drow who get too close, so we need to even the playing field.

I asked and Andrew is of the opinion that either is fine, but since he designed black powder bombs in Level Up: Advanced 5th Edition using force damage he kept that going on here (and I personally suspect sometime in the future he'll convert these over to Level Up ☺). It shouldn't break anything to swap out force damage for bludgeoning damage with those shrooms though!

These are really cool. But if I may ask, why does the Bog Petard do fire and *force* damage? If it's basically a bomb in mushroom form, wouldn't fire and bludgeoning damage make more sense?
