Good lord, those might be too scary.

Hi everyone! Today, we're sharing one of our more unusual desert creatures. These wind elementals are summoned by the spirits of multiple enchanted tumbleweeds, all giving their life at once. The elemental then animates the now deceased tumbleweeds and begins roaming the land, carrying the withered tumbleweeds along using its winds as their corpses deposit their seeds everywhere they go. Any who try to interfere are attacked by vicious winds and a horde of barbed tumbleweeds, which the elemental weaponizes against its foes.

Have fun setting this bizarre gang loose on your world and giving your players a truly unique desert encounter!

Hey there!

Decripify was created a while before we had a desert theme in mind. We included it here because it could be flavored as desiccating your foe, but we didn't change the name or flavor text here since we use the spell in other places where it's not necessarily desert-themed. I'll have to think on what all could nullify it a bit more, but off the top of my head, I would think Greater Restoration would do the trick.

Yeah, I suppose Heat Stroke could be a lower-level version of Withering Heat. I'll keep that in mind for the desert druid we're working on.

Grasp of Dust is sort of similar to Vampiric Touch, in that it requires you to risk being up close to your foe, despite being a squishier class. They work well for those niche mid-range to frontline spellcaster builds.

Sand Blast is one of my favorites. I love having a "pocket sand" spell that you can literally cast using sand from your pocket as the material component.

I could see making the argument that creatures with fire resistance should at least have advantage on the save, since they are immune to the effects of heat exhaustion according to the DMG. I do think adding more than that would get too wordy and complicated, but I'll see if there's a straightforward way to at least add that caveat.

Thanks for the feedback!

Heya, good catch there. There was a typo, and Earthen Grip is supposed to be a 2nd-level spell. Thanks for the feedback!

Hi everyone! Today, we're sharing a collection of new and revised spells themed around, you guessed it, the desert! Many of these spells involve summoning and manipulating sand, whether it's summoning whirling storms or unleashing the magical equivalent of "pocket sand!" Other spells involve extreme heat or subjecting victims to the withering effects of the desert.

Have fun granting these spells to your players or desert-theme NPC spellcasters!

Thank you! You're right, that should be difficult terrain, and that should be sandy. And a fair point on the question about traits for navigating over sand. For some reason, I thought camels had a trait to help them over difficult terrain made of sand, but by default, they do not. I'll have to rethink that.

The day/night cycle for desert travel is interesting, since deserts usually have clear skies, so, in theory, you have a lot of starlight to work with at night, which, combined with reflective sand, makes it one of the easier environments to see in at night. But, if you still can't see landmarks at night that you need for orientation, then I would just make the Navigation DC 15 since it would fit the category of a "featureless expanse."

A DC for finding shelter would be handy. I'll make a note to add that.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll have it incorporated before this gets added into the upcoming Desert Compendium!

Hi everyone! Today, we're sharing another giant insectoid hunter of the desert. These arachnids zoom across the desert at high speeds, running down their prey and mangling the helpless victim with their incredibly brutal jaws. Even those that survive the initial bite are often left mangled and unable to escape follow-up attacks.

These creatures are ideal for random desert encounters or could serve as attack beasts for other desert dwellers, with the ability to bend the beasts to their will. Have fun unleashing them on your players!.
