Magic Items

Ancient Token

Wondrous Item, varies (requires attunement by an Incarnate)

This object is as old as the material plane itself, and brims with echoes of ancient power. While attuned to this item, you gain a bonus to your Primordial save DC, as well as the attack and damage rolls of your Ferocious attacks with natural weapons. The bonus depends on the rarity of this item: +1 (uncommon), +2 (rare), or +3 (very rare).

In addition, you can use an action to regain a number of expended Primordial Dice equal to half of your Primordial Die maximum, rounded up. You can’t use this action again until the next dawn.

Cog of Ages

Wonderous item, legendary (requires attunement)

A cog that still vibrates softly with the residual mechanical energy of Mechanus. It rotates on its own when resting on a flat surface, and the faint ticking of the grand machine can be heard by any who put their ear to it.

This cog was pulled from the Grand Machine, which keeps time on schedule. It has the ability to turn time backwards and forwards.

While you are attuned to the cog, you can use your reaction when a creature you can see hits you with an attack to invoke disadvantage on the attack roll, potentially causing it to miss. You can also use your reaction to gain advantage on a Dexterity saving throw against an effect you can see.

The cog has 5 charges, which you can spend on the following features. It regains 1d4 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn. Spells cast from the cog have a save DC of 17.

Wind. When you roll for initiative, you can spend 1 charge to choose any number from 1 to 30 to be your initiative, instead of rolling. You can do so after you know the initiatives of your allies.

Clockwise. You can spend 1 charge to cast haste. The cog maintains concentration for you.

Counterclockwise. You can spend 2 charges to cast slow. The cog maintains concentration for you.

Jam. You can spend 3 charges to cast time stop. When cast this way, you only take 2 extra turns.

Mirror of Destruction

Wondrous Item, rare

This mirror is made of polished metal melded into a jagged rock frame. It has the following properties:

Record History. You can target this mirror with an attack roll that could normally target a creature. When you do, you automatically hit. That attack, including any spells, or other effects that would modify the attack and damage rolls, are copied into the mirror, which then displays a holographic image of the attacking creature. For example, a paladin could cast searing smite and attack the mirror, then use their Divine Smite feature to store all the damage that attack would deal in the mirror. The mirror takes no damage from the attack. You cannot use this property while the mirror has an attack copied.

Reflect Calamity. As an action, you can point the mirror at a target in range of the copied attack to release a mirror copy of that attack. You make the attack roll and use the attack modifier of the original. Any other modifiers applied to the attack roll at the time it was copied, such as a war domain cleric’s War God’s Blessing feature, are applied to the copy of the attack, and any effects that modified the damage roll or dealt additional damage on a hit are applied if the copy of the attack hits. Once you use this property, you can’t again until the next dawn.

Sharp-Rock, First Tool

Weapon (greatsword), legendary (requires attunement)

Less of a sword than a large hunk of sharpened stone, this enormous weapon is theorized to be the first tool used by the Primordial Giant.

You gain a +3 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon. When you hit with it, the target takes an additional 1d8 damage of this weapon’s damage type, and you can choose for it to deal bludgeoning or piercing damage instead of slashing damage. Objects hit with this weapon take the maximum damage.

Tool of Giants. While holding Sharp-Rock, you can cast mending. When you do, you can target an object that fits within a 20-foot cube, such as a 10-foot wall panel, to restore 1d10 hit points to it. The object must have at least 1 hit point to be affected this way.

Shape Stone. While holding Sharp-Rock, you can cast stone shape or wall of stone. Once you cast either spell this way, you can’t cast that spell with Sharp-Rock again until the next dawn.

Mobile Fortress. You can plunge Sharp-Rock into the ground as an action to cast mighty fortress, with the fortress being centered on Sharp-Rock, so long as there is adequate space for the fortress to appear. The fortress constructs itself harmlessly around you, and it remains permanently, until Sharp-Rock is removed from the ground, after which it crumbles harmlessly to dust. As long as you are attuned to Sharp-Rock, only you can pull it from the ground. While this property is active, your attunement to Sharp-Rock does not end from being more than 100 feet away from it for 24 hours, and other creatures cannot attune to it while you are. While you are within 300 feet of the fortress, you can use Sharp-Rock’s Tool of Giants and Shape Stone properties as if you were holding it. Once you use this property, you can’t again until the next dawn.

The First Lotus

Weapon (varies), legendary (requires attunement by a druid, incarnate, or ranger)

A large lotus bloom, about the size of a dinner plate. To behold its petals is to stare into the soul of nature herself. Its scent carries with it the fragrance of ages.

This lotus was the first flower, the progenitor of all plant life that exists today. Whether a gift from the gods, or a manifestation of the material plane itself, its power to command that which it spawned has held fast through the eons.

You gain a +2 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

When you attune to The First Lotus, you can choose for it to become a longsword, rapier, staff, or whip. If you choose staff, the lotus is constantly under the effects of shillelagh, and a long shaft of gnarled wood sprouts from the bottom. Otherwise, enough wood to form a handle sprouts from the bottom, and a long thorny branch, a single long thorn, or a thorny vine extend from the central bud if you chose longsword, rapier, or whip respectively. While no one is attuned to it, the lotus reverts to its flower form.

One with Nature. While holding the lotus, you are constantly under the effect of speak with plants.

Forestation. While holding the lotus, you can cast control weather as an action, choosing warm, moderate wind, and rain as the conditions. You don’t need to maintain concentration on the spell, and you can’t change the conditions after casting it. Any plants underneath the rain for 8 hours become twice as large and gain the 8 hour effect of the plant growth spell. Trees also sprout all throughout the area underneath the rain, including up through buildings. A tree that grows through a building deals 6d6 damage to it. Once you use this property, you can’t again until the next dawn.

The lotus has 50 charges for the following properties. It regains 6d6 + 3 expended charges daily at dawn, and for each hour you spend in direct sunlight, it regains 1 expended charge. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 20, the lotus regains 1d12 + 1 charges.

Poison Sting. When you hit with a melee attack using the lotus, you can expend up to 3 charges to deal an extra 1d8 poison damage to the target for each charge expended. If you expended 3 charges, the target must also succeed on a DC 17 Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute. A poisoned creature can repeat the saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending this effect for itself on a success.

Nature’s Ally. As an action, you can expend 4 charges to summon a wood woad from the lotus. The wood woad is an ally to you and your companions. In combat, it shares your initiative count, but it takes its turn immediately after yours. While wielding The First Lotus, you control the wood woad and can percieve through its senses as long as your are on the same plane of existance. The wood woad uses your spell attack modifier for its attack rolls.

The wood woad remains until it dies. Once you have used this feature, you cannot use it again until the next dawn.

Nourishing Petals. You can use an action to expend 6 charges and pluck a single petal from the lotus. You can then consume the petal or feed it to another creature you can touch. A creature that consumes a petal from the lotus gains the effects of the heal spell. An uneaten petal withers to dust after 1 hour. Once you use this property, you can’t again until the next dawn.

Spells. While holding the lotus, you can use an action to expend some of its charges to cast one of the following spells from it, using your spell save DC and spellcasting ability: commune with nature (5 charges), druid grove (6 charges), entangle (1 charge), goodberry (1 charge), grasping vine (4 charges), guardian of nature (Great Tree only, 4 charges), plant growth (1 action effect only, 3 charges), spike growth (2 charges), transport via plants (6 charges), tree stride (5 charges), wall of thorns (6 charges), or wrath of nature (5 charges).

You can also use an action to cast one of the following spells from the lotus without using any charges: detect magic, detect poison and disease, locate animals or plants (plants only), poison spray, protection from poison, or thorn whip.

Feats

Ferocious

Prerequisite: access to a natrual weapon

You strike with animalistic ferocity, granting you the following benefits:

• Increase your Strength, Dexterity, or Wisdom by 1, to a maximum of 20.

• The second time you hit a creature with an attack using a natural weapon on your turn, if both attack were against the same creature, add 1d4 to the damage roll.

• When you score a critical hit with a natural weapon, the target has disadvantage on attack rolls against creatures other than you and cannot take reactions until the start of your next turn.

Mutant

A powerful force has mutated your body, giving you one Mutation of your choice from the incarnate class. If the mutation requires a saving throw, the DC equals 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. If the mutation has a prerequisite of any kind, you can choose that mutation only if you’re an incarnate who meets the prerequisite.

You also gain one Primordial Die, a d4, which you can expend if your mutation allows. You can also expend the Primordial die when you hit with a melee or thrown weapon attack using a simple or natural weapon to gain temporary hit points equal to the expended die + your Constitution modifier. You regain the expended die when you finish a short or long rest.

If you are an incarnate, your Primordial Die maximum increases by 1, rather than gaining a d4.

Background: Hunted

You’ve spent your life on the run, hunted for reasons you can’t control. Skipping from town to town, never allowed to settle, you had to teach yourself how to survive. You’ve felt what its like to starve, and you know what it means to be hated, but something inside just won’t let you give up.

Primordial Souls

Soul of the Avatar

At the dawn of creation, out of the swirling energy of the cosmos, the first warrior emerged.

Soul of the Desert Serpent

Made by Portergoth (@Reddit)

• You can’t cast spells not granted to you by an incarnate class feature, and your ability to speak or take any action that requires hands is limited to the capabilities of your serpentine form. Transforming doesn’t break your concentration on a spell you’ve already cast, or prevent you from taking actions that are a part of such a spell.

• You retain the benefit of any incarnate class features, and can use them if your new form is physically capable of doing so. However, you can’t use any of your special senses unless your new form also has that sense.

Soul of the Subterranean

Made by Elek

Long before the existence of the cities and nations of mortals, there was only the earth. And with only the earth, there were those who shaped and carved it. The Primordial Subterranean is a worldshaper, who works to protect the earth from those who seek to defile it.

Titanus Subterranean

Your Titanus Form takes on the likeness of a massive plated beast, with a hardened shell and lack of eyes. Its stat block is shown below.

Also, while you do not have a burrow speed, you can expend one Primordial Die as a bonus action to gain a burrow speed of 30 feet until the beginning of your next turn. You can use this speed to move through ground made of sand, earth, mud, rock, or ice. If the ground is solid rock, it is difficult terrain, and you leave a 5-foot-diameter tunnel in your wake.

If you end your turn in solid ground without a burrow speed, you begin suffocating and you take 1d10 bludgeoning damage at the start of each turn that you remain in the ground without a burrow speed.

Nothing on the Material Plane summons dread quite like the Tarrasque. The most well known and feared of all the primordials by mortals of today, the appearance of the Tarrasque spells calamity, and the end of an era.

Titanus Tarrasque

Your titanus form takes on the likeness of a Tarrasque. Its stat block is shown below.

Manifested Ruin

3rd-level Soul of the Tarrasque feature

You grow a powerful tail and claws at your fingertips. While both of your hands are free, you can use the Claw attack from your Titanus Form (your Size modifier is 0 and your reach is 5 feet), which counts as a natural weapon.

You can also use the Tail attack from your Titanus Form (your Size modifier is 0 and your reach is 10 feet), which counts as a natural weapon.

Apex Predator

3rd-level Soul of the Tarrasque feature

You gain the Primordial Awareness Mutation or another Mutation of your choice if you already have it, but it doesn’t count against the number of Mutations you have. You also gain the following benefits:

• You can use the Terrorize bonus action from your Titanus Form.

Furious Rampage

• When you use Rampage, you don’t have to expend a Primordial Die if you make the attack against a creature you have not attacked that turn.

Terrifying Presence

10th-level Soul of the Tarrasque feature

You can use Eminence when you enter your Titanus Form as part of the same action.

Also, the range of your blindsight is increased to 30 feet

Soul of the Witness

Made by Portergoth (@Reddit)

---

Each Beholder thinks itself the pinnacle of perfection, but did these reality warping nightmares always look the way they do? Some Far Realm scholars belive they found inspiration from a creature so powerful, beholderkin shaped themselves in its image. This primordial yearns to see all of reality undone under its gaze.

Primordial Witness Form

3rd-level Soul of the Witness feature

Your Titanus Form takes on the likeness of a single massive eye with fleshy eyestalks protruding from its back. Its stat block is shown below.

Ever-Present Eyes

3rd-level Soul of the Witness feature

As an action, you can expend one Primordial Die to dream a gazer into existance that resembles your primordial. Its statistics are shown in the Witness Gazer stat block below. You can only have one witness gazer at a time. Your gazer dies when it drops to 0 hit points or when you use this feature while you already have one.

You control the gazer, and in combat, it shares your initiative and takes its turn immediately after yours. You can perceive through the gazer’s senses as long as you are on the same plane of existence.

Perfect Vision

3rd-level Soul of the Witness feature

Eye stalks grow from your head. You can use the Eye Ray attack from your Titanus Form (your Size modifier is 0), which counts as a natural weapon. Ranged attacks you make with it are considered Ferocious attacks.

You gain the Eyes of the Apex Mutation or another Mutation of your choice if you already have it, but it doesn’t count against the number of Mutations you have. You also gain the following benefits:

• You gain proficiency in the Perception skill or another incarnate skill of your choice if already proficient

• You have advantage on Perception and Investigation checks that rely on sight.

• You can see up to 1 mile away with no difficulty, and can discern even fine details as though looking at something no more than 100 feet away from you.

Eyes on the Inside

6th-level Soul of the Witness feature

As an action, you can expend one Primordial Die to force a creature you can see to make a Charisma saving throw. On a failed a save, you can see through that creatures vision for up to 10 minutes. When you use this feature, you can expend additional Primordial Dice up to your proficiency bonus to increase the length of time to 1 hour per die expended.

A creature that fails the saving throw is unaware of this effect, while a creature that succeeds feels a sensation of being watched. A creature can choose to fail this saving throw.

Additionally, you can attack with your Eye Ray as if you were in the space of your gazer.

Warping Gaze

10th-level Soul of the Witness feature

As an action, you can force a creature you can see within 60 feet of you to make a Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, a creature takes 4 Primordial Die psychic damage and is blinded, deafened, and cannot speak for 1 minute, as its head is turns into a giant eyeball. On a success, a creature takes half as much damage but suffers no other effects.

When you use this feature, you can expend Primordial Dice up to your Size modifier (0 in normal form) to target another creature for each die expended. You can perceive through a blinded creature’s vision as if it wasn’t blinded, and you can use your bonus action to roll on the Eye Ray table without expending a Primordial Die, targeting the blinded creature or a creature within 60 feet of it that it can see.

A blinded creature can repeat saving throw at the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on itself on a success. Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest, unless you expend four Primordial Dice to use it again.

Visions of the Far Realm

14th-level Soul of the Witness feature

When you enter your Titanus Form, you can choose to become overloaded with primordial power. When you do, you gain access to the Overloaded traits of your Titanus Form.

Once you enter your overloaded Titanus Form, you must finish a long rest before you can do so again.
