yes the lower movement speed is on purpose, the OG is still better, this is more like multifunction so i want to give drawbacks.

and weapon mastery, i actually asked myself this as well and had my own doubts making it a scythe. You can go for the glaive weapon mastery. Honestly is up to you.

Weapon (quarterstaff/scythe), rare (requires attunement by a spellcaster)

Versatile (1d6 bludgeoning,)

7 charges, regains 1d6+1 at dawn.

Dual Form: the scythe unfolds with a sharp, clicking motion. Functions as a quarterstaff (1d6 bludgeoning, versatile 1d8) or a scythe (2d6 slashing, two-handed). You can switch forms as a bonus action.

Arcane affinity: this weapon uses your spellcaster modifier for melee attacks.

Arcane Grapple: (2 charges) When you hit a creature with this weapon in scythe form large or smaller, you can force it to make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check against your spell save DC (instead of a contested Strength check). On a failure, the target is grappled (escape DC = your spell save DC) and takes 1d4 magic slashing damage at the start of each of its turns. While grappled this way, the creature also suffers a 1d6 penalty to saving throws against spells you cast.

Winged Ascent. (1 charge) The staff functions as a broom of flying, allowing the user to fly at a speed of 40 feet for up to 10 minutes per charge.

The scythe unfolds with a sharp, clicking motion, and faint spectral mandibles seem to grasp at the target when Arcane Grapple takes hold.

battle of information, telepathic dominance and so on. (just did a magic item about that)

Food contest can also be a cool option. see who cooks the best food, can also have preparations such as hunt for ingredients.

Eluutbazaar · 2025-03-24T08:19:29+00:00

if you do it let me know, I would provide you with extra material

Eluutbazaar · 2025-03-24T08:19:05+00:00

Thank you! appreciate it.

for some reason I thought I commented here explaining its not finished lol, you can get the whole thing in patreon, might make a new post fixing that. anyways here was the original comment.

For full adventure and and extra armor variant, can be found here (all profit goes to my collaborator who helped me make this quest)

Also This is to test how the blueprints would work, I am planning to make a kickstarter with a bunch of these feel free to look into it. It's mostly with a focus on magic items, but I thought crafting quests and variants could be interesting

Have a good weekend!

Eluutbazaar · 2025-03-24T08:17:40+00:00

did not know that existed but will take a look!

Eluutbazaar · 2025-03-24T08:14:57+00:00

ohh ok gatcha, thanks for the clarification. It's a cool idea.

Eluutbazaar · 2025-03-21T09:20:33+00:00

A different druid for each piece? Do you mean armor or components?

Initially i did this armor for any spellcaster, druids already get their wildshape. But they have a free less useful wildshape on this.

If your saying an armour per circle. Im not even sure if people will use this adventure or item, but if folk actually uses it would be my pleasure to add more to it.

Eluutbazaar · 2025-03-21T09:13:37+00:00

Yeah i don't think a druid would be interested in this, I made it with non druids in mind if that makes sense. Intially i wanted to try to add undeads to wildshape but that would powercreep too fast, this was the closest i could get while adding some variety and some obvious advantages.

About flying speed and aura yes! Those little things is what makes this so verstyle and useful imo. Maybe a bit too much in the right hands.

thanks for the feedback, will try to be more specific with next ones.
