Dremethos Rules and Regulations

Welcome to New Dremethos, an ecumenopolis that is both the only city on (and within) the planet and the planet itself. Colonized in year 15293, it was named after Dremethos, a planet colonized in 14745. The original planet’s name has long drifted from anything but the dustiest of history tomes, but it’s very, very, very far away now.

Space travel has been a fact of life for millienia, and with it numerous other types of high-end magitech. However, those on the literal fringes of occupied space (like New Dremethos!) certainly do not occupy utopian abundance. Quite the opposite!

I think it’d be neat for Dremethos to act as an episodic side campaign for when there’s scheduling issues or other problems that put delays on sessions. They’ll form shorter overall stories that are (mostly) self-contained. You can rotate different characters in or stick with one, and the sessions will be built to work with reduced amounts of people as well.

Ya’ll will be working for Charlemagne McDuff, a wealthy business man who owns McDuff Expedited Shipping, an express shipping company which handles all matter of orders and assignments. If it involves taking something from point A to point B, they can handle it. Their exclusive Turbo Shipping™️ can get competitors packages to you faster than anyone else and may or may not involve stealing the package from the original shipper!

Dremethos sessions will tentatively start at level 5. Before making characters, I’ll update the blobpaign document and feats to better match base 5e and overall be better mechanically. You can expect all blobpaign races to make a return (and maybe a few new ones!)

 

 

Dremethos Overview and Factions

This setting will occur in Sub3, Subterreanean District 3 of New Dremethos. It’s a place known for one thing above all else: Computers.

A massive tech revolution kicked off some thousands of years ago when it was discovered that, “sufficiently advanced tech is indistinguishable from magic” was actually true the whole time. Magic computation kicked techs to levels previously unimaginable.

Sub3 is the place for encryption, hacking, and maximum power soft/hardware. Three big time computer companies dominate, with many other organizations ultimately falling under their umbrellas one way or another. They’re only nominally computer companies by the way. They may focus on computers, but they all have a lot of sprawl.

The following is a non-exhaustive list of relevant players. The smaller text indicates they are subsidiaries of the company they’re below.

Obsidian Inc.

A shadowy company specializing in magical stone computers that are big and imposing. It’s executive board is reclusive and very insistent on staying that way. Do not try. They’re the most militaristic company, having their origins in martial computers.

Neochromium and Quadraplex have expanded upwards and outwards, creating towering complexes that are cities unto themselves. Obsidian however, it still the same black hexagon on the surface, big but not immense. The bulk of the complex is known to be underground, but nobody outside really knows how deep it goes.

Obsidian has a reputation for bizarre decisions. Entire departments will be formed or liquidated with little explanation, or occasionally, a baffling one. Once their entire legal department was let go with a piece of paper that just said “Breath Mints”. That was all anyone got.

Plato’s Cave

On the very very surface they’re an educational org. People who’ve been around long enough know that Plato’s Cave makes people disappear.

Cobalt Jackals

Scummy Mercenary outfit that pride themselves on their “flexibility”. Widely hated.

Exothermic

Shady business deals so aggressive they become violent. A lot of monks and barbarians actually, and their tactics fit that description.

Neochromium Company

A company boasting sleek, high quality computers that are compact and beautiful. They’re headed up by… the definition of a celebrity ceo. His name is Chase Bellview, and he is here to inspire and innovate. He’s a notorious moron and if it weren’t for the board he wouldn’t be able to do a damn thing, but he inherited the company, so, eh.

Neochromium is in a spirited battle with Quadraplex for the tallest building in the city. Both are constantly expanding their complexes to jockey for the title. As of game year, both have surpassed a mile tall.

Chase Bellview runs a seminar series called “The Thinkatorium”. You can probably figure it out from that description.

Inspire Division

A PR Gang. Yes, a criminal gang that specializes in cleaning reputations. Somehow it works. They don’t prefer violence but they can use it.

Innovate Division

These guys specialize in stealing and selling tech. They take a very cloak and dagger approach.

Sublimate Division

These fellas make sure business is efficient. They make damn sure things are efficient. Mr. Bellview doesn’t really know what Sublimate means, he just wanted something to rhyme with sublimate. People are terrified of the Sublimate division.

 

 

Quadraplex Computing

A company that focuses on hardlight tech. There computers are formed out of floating, glowing shapes. This company tries to pass itself off as the Good Corporation, with lots of token philanthrophy, but it’s ultimately just as bad as the other two.

Quadraplex is the second oldest company behind Obsidian, but not by much. Neochromium is more recent, having really exploded only in the last 50 years. Both Obsidian and Quadraplex are centuries old however, and they display some level of the scrabbliness that comes from being cobbled together over so many years.

Thomas Halton is the chairman of Quadraplex. He’s not a huge celebrity or anything, but people know him. If you spend any time in political circles, you’ll definitely hear his name bandied around, it’s a major interest of his.

The Savers

The philanthropy division. They’re pretty bad at violence, mainly sticking to financial tricks and games, like money laundering.

Quadraplex Solutions

If “problems” arise for Quadraplex, these guys fix them. Highly tactical and professional merc outfit

Chrono Spiral

DRUGS! THESE GUYS LOVE DRUGS! DRUGS!

Unaffiliated

Iron Mantis

Protection racket and mercenary gang with a cruel, but principled code of honor.

Ride Riders

Biker mercenaries for hire who see everything as a big joke.

 

 

The Feds

The Feds Are Here

The Federal Government of New Dremethos is obscenely powerful, and largely irrelevant to daily life.

They stay focused on the colonization of Dremethos. The natural ecosystem is very big and very hostile, with chlorine-spewing plants, explosive bacteria, and colossal worms. As of 15,536, the back half of the planet is still deadly caverns and dark caves.

In fact, this is the main way the feds make their money. Federal taxes are token on Dremethos, with the government instead relying on auctioning off cleared land to realtors. As the only seller of land they make bank, more than enough money to ensure they have the most souped up soldiers on the planet.

Luckily for daily citizens, for all its power the Fed really doesn’t want to do anything else besides colonize. Their troops are at home in the grottos and tunnels.

Which means, if you see cybernetic knights in black and yellow coats anywhere else, there is a big goddamn problem.

 

 

Important Homebrew Rules

Ranged Weapons

Ignore any effects to the effect of

• ignore half and three-quarters cover

• Being within 5 feet of a hostile creature doesn’t impose disadvantage on your ranged attack rolls

If this is the only effect, of a feature I will replace it with something else. Finally, the archery fighting style applies a +2 bonus to damage rolls, instead of attack rolls

Mobile Feat

“Mobile” is considered equivalent to disengage, and thus is countered by Sentinel. Mobile only works 1/turn.

Lucky

BANNED

Racial Feats

Racial Feats, Classes, or Subclasses that don’t depend on substantive physical qualities, such as Elven Accuracy and Battlerager, do not require you to be a member of that race

Double Crits

If you roll an attack roll with advantage and get two 20’s, you double crit. Roll the crit as normal for your character, then double the final result.

Dead as hell

Dying: Reaching 0 hit points now means you’re Dying. You cannot take bonus actions, and your speed is halved. But your crit range is expanded by 2. You cannot concentrate on spells. Beyond that, you can act normally.

Death Saves: When at 0 hit points, you make death saves and successes as normal. However, death save failures only go away at a long rest, and only 1 at a time.

Goblinoids: 6 failures, and they ignore the negative effects of the Dying status. Spite is always charged while at 0 hp.

Death: When a character dies, they may immediately make one action or bonus action, independent of turn order of reactions. After death, their spirit lingers in the battle where they died, aiding their allies and harrying enemies. Each round, you may add or subtract 1d4 from a roll of your choice.

Revivial: Every resurrection past the first doubles the cost, multiplicatively. You’ll usually find the necessary materials in any town with adventuring supplies. This also conveniently handwaves away that anyone with sufficient resources should just be able to revive indefinitely till old age. Reviving from death clears your death saves, otherwise functioning as written.

Mob Rules

Large groups of identical enemies are going to run a little differently. This will mainly be a DM thing but if you’re a PC with minions (McTech) consider using it as well. Calculator here https://slyflourish.com/mob_calculator.html:

• attacks from large groups of enemies will just be based on probability and averages. You multiply together the number of attacks, the probability of hitting, and average damage (rounded down) to get the total damage dealt without any rolling. Same for saving throws.
• single target attacks against large groups of fodder enemies will automatically spread surplus damage to other enemies in the group, provided the attacker/attack could reach more enemies.

Dueling Rules

Turn based rpgs tend to really struggle handling 1v1 fights. Characters are considered to be dueling if they’re fighting and cannot reasonably fit in another initiative order.

Dueling causes the following changes:

• All health and forms of health are doubled.
• All repeated saves past the first are rolled with advantage.
• All status effects are applied at the end of the round instead of immediately. reactions are regained at the end of the round instead of at the start of your turn.
• You may use your reaction to move your speed.
  • If you do so and end at a greater distance from your opponent than you started, you have disadvantage on ranged attacks until you regain your reaction.
  • If you do so and end at lesser distance than you started, you have disadvantage on melee attacks instead.
• On your turn, you may take one additional free action to perform some arbitrary manipulation of the environment. It must be roughly equivalent to a single technical attack action, like a shove, or a grapple.

Fragile Dragon. Once per Long Rest, you can call upon some forgotten draconic relation as a bonus action, so long as you have the confidence to do so. First roll a d20. Based on your roll, you will undergo one of the following effects. Regardless of the outcome, when the effect ends, you are unable to take any actions for one turn once the effect ends:

• 1: For 1 minute, you Polymorph (as the spell) into a Pseudodragon. Unlike an ordinary polymorph, this effect does not end early if your Pseudodragon hp drops to 0, instead cutting into your normal hitpoints. At the end of your turns, you can make a DC15 Charisma save to end the effect.
• 2-19: For 1 minute, your Str, Dex, and Cha increase by 4, and your maximum for those increases by 4. You gain temporary hitpoints equal to your character level, which are lost when the effect ends. This effect ends immediately if you are Frightened, roll a natural 1, or have a natural 20 rolled against you.
• 20: For 1 minute, you Polymorph (as the spell) into a True Dragon of your choice, up to a CR equal to your character level, but with halved health. You may speak and cast spells normally, but turning into a dragon does not grant you any spellcasting.

Desperation. When you are at or below 10% of your maximum hitpoints, your crit range expands by 4 (20 becomes 16-20, for example). The threshold of hit points has a minimum of 2, a maximum of 20, and is rounded up. This threshold disregards temporary hit points you have from Fragile Dragon, but not from other sources.

Insult to Injury. Getting crit by a Kobold is demoralizing. Creatures that suffer a critical hit from you must make a charisma save or become frightened for 1 minute, DC 8+Prof+Chamod. The creature can repeat the save to end the effect at the end of each of its turns.

Feats

This is my old feats document, updated and retooled to better fit in other campaigns. There will be two versions, one that’s annotated going over the intent of feats and suggestions for their implementation or lack thereof. The other version will be just the feats for easy viewing. Annotations will be in italics.

There are two ways that dnd5e feats are designed, since they compete with ASI. There’s full feats, which don’t offer any change to ablity scores, and half feats, which improve an ability score by 1. Half feats tend to be less robust than full feats, but can be taken without missing out on a modifier improvement.

The end goal for these feats is to provide new ways to play, rather than strictly, numerically improving on existing ones. To that end, they’re all designed to either antisynergize, be conditional, or have trade-offs

*One more note *

NOTE ABOUT SAVING THROWS:

ANY FEAT that calls for a saving throw will have the following saving throw: DC = 8+Proficiency+Relevant Ability Modifier. Relevant Ability Modifier is whichever ability is used in the attack. Wizard spells will use int, strength weapons will use Str, finesse weapons will use dex, etc.

Battle Jumper

You’re skilled at attacking creatures from above.

• Your long jump distance increases by 10ft, and your high jump increases by 5ft. You have advantage on athletics or acrobatics checks to jump.
• If you jump onto a creature from at least 15 feet above it (accounting for creature size) you can make a powerful melee attack that deals 15 extra damage. This can only apply once per turn, and it cannot involve a flying speed.
• When targeted by an attack that has a dex saving throw, you can jump as a reaction after damage is rolled. On a successful save, you can do a running jump, on failure, you do a standing jump.

A feat to encourage attacking from above and using terrain. This one should be pretty unobtrusive, but it’s important that this shouldn’t be something people can casually get in any situation on every round. Otherwise, it’s not balanced.

Master of Arms

Requires: Int 13, Superiority Dice, Character Level 8
Your skill in fighting allows you to switch weapons with ease.

• You gain two superiority dice, starting at a d6. It scales with other superiority dice.
• Any time you perform a manuever, you may freely swap weapons after the manuever is resolved. The new weapon must have different Properties than the prior one.
• The first weapon you swap to in a round confers one of the following benefits
  • Finesse: +3 Damage to all attacks for 1 round
  • Heavy: +2 AC for 1 round
  • Reach: +10ft Speed for 1 round

The Weapon Swap Guy. Tieing it to a resource should hopefully cut down on weird exploitive crap, and the benefits are intended to antisynergize with how the weapons usually behave.

Champions Gambit

• Increase your str, dex, or con by 1, to a max of 20
• When you make an attack, you can choose to take a big risk for heavy reward. You expand your crit range by 2, but if you don’t roll a critical, you miss. If you roll with advantage and both dice are critical, you can instead triple you damage die.

This feat is a funny lil crit fishing tool. Since its pretty limited, it’s a half-feat

Combat Reflexes

Requirement: Dex 13

• Increase your dex score by 1, to a max of 20 1/Round you can make an opportunity attack without using your reaction.

Just one extra OA. Half-feat

 

 

Deflect Spells

Requires: Deflect Missles, Character Level 4

• You can increase your dex or wis by 1, to a max of 20
• When using your Deflect Missles ability, you can also deflect ranged spell attacks. This works exactly the same as deflecting a weapon attack. You can even throw the spell somewhere else if the damage is reduced to 0.
• When succeeding on a save against a spell, you can gain temporary hitpoints equal to the spells level.

Situational half feat

Destructive Strikes

Requires: Str 15, Character Level 8

• You can increase your str by 1, to a max of 20
• You do triple damage to objects and structures with your melee attacks.
• You gain +5 on strength or athletics checks to move or break objects.

Situational half feat. Also funny

Falling with style

Requirements: Acrobatics Proficiency

• Increase your dex by 1 to a max of 20.
• When you take falling damage, you can make an acrobatics check. You reduce your falling damage by your total acrobatics roll. This stacks with any other falling damage reduction.
• Your speed increases by 20ft in any round where you would take at least 2d6 falling damage

Situational half feat.

Grappler

Note: This feat replaces the garbage vanilla feat of the same name
This has the following effects:

• You may use your dexterity modifier instead of your strength modifier for athletics checks to grapple.

• You have advantage on attack rolls against creatures you are grappling.

• You count as one size category larger when grappling. Thus, a medium creature could grapple a huge size creature, and could move at full speed while grappling a small creature.

This allows grapples to work against larger targets.

 

 

Greater Grappling

Requirements: Grappler, Character Level 12

• You count as another size larger for grappling,

• Any creature you grapple takes your unarmed strike damage automatically at the start of each of your turns.

• When you hit a creature you’re grappling, they take an additional 1d8 bludgeoning damage.

See above. Also adds a bit of extra damage

Improved Sneak Attack

Requires: Sneak Attack, Character Level 4
When dealing damage with Sneak Attack, you can take advantage of extra openings. For each additional source of advantage past the first, you can add a tier to your sneak attack damage die, up to a xd12 maximum. All sources of advantage apply, with one exception: Flanking and an adjacent ally only count as 1 source of advantage. For example, if a level 6 Rogue were flanking a prone enemy and hit them with sneak attack, they would take 3d8 sneak attack damage.

This feature is dynamic enough to justify being a straight improvement. It significantly improves the damage output of rogues.

Magical Fangs

Requirement: Character Level 6/12/18

• Increase any ability score by 1, to a max of 20
• Your inner strength has made you innately magical. Your natural weapons now count as +1 weapons, gaining the bonus to attack and damage rolls, and overcoming damage resistance to nonmagical weapons. At further levels listed above, they become +2 and +3 weapons. Despite the name, this skill can be applied to any natural weapon, even fists.

pretty straightforward feat that doesn’t do much except act as a buffer for folks who want to punch

 

 

Bowmaster

Requirements: Character Level 4, Dex 13

• +1 Dex
• Your mastery of ranged weapons lets you target multiple enemies with one attack. When attacking with a ranged weapon, you can subtract 5 on the attack roll to attack 3 enemies with the same attack roll. Each enemy takes the same damage.
• 1/attack, when making a ranged weapon attack, you can bounce a projectile off an object or creature up to 180 degrees. You can use this to get around total cover or repeat a missed attack, but penalties for not being able to see a target may still apply.

Expands ranged options in a compelling way

 

 

Aura of Decisiveness

Requirement: Paladin Level 4, Aura of Protection feature

• +1 Charisma
• As a Bonus action, you can forgo the benefits of your aura of protection and instead grant +1 crit range to yourself and all allies within your aura of protection range. This stacks with other increases to crit range. You can cancel this feature as a bonus action.
