1. A creature in the compartment can use an action to move as many as two of the apparatus's levers up or down. After each use, a lever goes back to its neutral position. Each lever, from left to right, functions as shown in the Apparatus of Kwalish Levers table.
2. May 06, 2015 DMG-Style Homebrewery Link (V2) PDF Link. Hey guys, I was looking for a homebrew that utilized Cook's utensils and found none, therefore I made one myself. I based myself off games such as Skyrim and made it heavily monster-based. I tried to balance as best I can, where the creatures CR impacts how strong the recipe effect is.
3. Roll on the lingering injuries table DMG p272. The creature gains that injury. Choose an ability score of the creature. That ability score is reduced by 1. This cannot decrease an ability score below 3. The creature can spend 10 days of focused training (8 hours per day) to increase the ability score back. This penalty can be chosen multiple times.

Useing the Table:Refer to the 5e DMG pages 273-278 'Creating Monsters' for the guidelines to use this Chart. However, there is one difference between using the table in the DMG and this table. The 'Effective Hit Points.' Table on pg 278 of the DMG has the last row in the table as 17 or more.

Adventure Summary: In this level 1 D&D adventure, myconids and vegepygmies have uncovered an ancient relic of Zuggtmoy that has begun corrupting both them and the forest around. When the gnome village of Dahish is affected, the mushroom exports to the surrounding region comes to a grinding halt. This, of course, prompts a local lord, Dansworth Ratheem, with a love for truffles to commission a band of adventurers to find the source of the problem and put a stop to it.

• Vegepygmy – CR ¼
• Myconid Sprout – CR 0
• Myconid Adult – CR ½
• Awakened Shrub – CR 0

• This adventure is designed for 4 level 1 characters.
• Note how many short/long rests are expected.
• Contains treasure from 0 rolls on the level 1-4 treasure hoard table in DMG….but it does have 250 gp reward which is a sizable amount for a level 1 party.

• Recently myconids in the forest uncovered a relic of Zuggtmoy that they brought back to their village. This relic, once unearthed, began to spread the evil influence of that demon throughout the forest. The myconids and vegepygmies that live with them began worshipping her.
• As the influence of Zuggtmoy began spreading throughout the forest, even plants began to come alive and attack creatures.
• A gnome village deep in the forest where the day of light barely penetrates, relies purely on mushrooms for food, medicine, and even light. Recently their mushroom groves have been coming to life and attacking them.
• The relic must be neutralized or destroyed to end the threat to the forest.

Dahish. Gnome village deep in a forest.

White Cap Village. Myconid and vegepygmy village in the forest.

Lord Dansworth Ratheem. A local lord who loves mushroom dishes.

Marisha Marigold. A gnome priest in Dahish.

• There is a shortage of mushrooms throughout the entire region because shipments from Dahish stopped some time ago. Wherever the characters happen to be, they learn of this issue when a local lord, Lord Ratheem, puts out a 250 gp reward for whoever can get the shipments to resume.
• The local lord loves mushrooms, and his cook (or anyone in the village, really) can tell the characters that Dahish is the source of the region’s mushroom.

As the characters travel to Dahish, they encounter a hallucinating gnome running through the forest, screaming. He is being chased by a pack of five mushrooms (use awakened shrub stats) that attacked him.

If the characters help the gnome, named Snelvig, he thanks them profusely and offers to guide them to Dahish and gives them a meal at his house as a “thank you.” However, the gnome is hallucinating like crazy the whole time.

In Dahish, all of the mushroom grove are gone, having come alive and wandered off. Most of the gnomes are huddled in just a few buildings so that they can find safety in numbers.

One of the buildings they find refuge in is a church. In the church there is a gnome priest named Marisha Marigold who remembers hearing tales of the forest coming alive in the past. She has an ancient tome in the church archives that mentions a powerful demonic influence that once visited the forest, and she suspects that it has returned.

While the characters are speaking with the gnome, possibly while in the church, a two vegepygmies attack a gnome parent and their child while they were going to the outhouse. The vegepygmies’ goal is to kidnap the gnome child and take it back to White Cap Village to sacrifice it to Zuggtmoy.

If the characters manage to stop the vegepygmies, they can follow the creatures tracks back to White Cap Village if they make a successful DC 8 Wisdom (Survival) check.

If the vegepygmies escape with the child, the gnome parent begs the characters to get their child back. The tracks can be followed with a successful DC 8 Wisdom (Survival) check.

On the way to they myconid village, is a spore trap the myconids use to protect their territory. When the characters travel through it, they must make DC 12 Constitution saving throws. On failed saves, they hallucinate that a shambling mound is attacking them.

Those who believe the hallucination take real damage from it, but when reduced to zero hit points are simply unconscious and stable. If the entire party succumbs to the hallucination and the shambling mound, the myconids come to collect them and take them prisoners, to be used as future sacrifices to Zuggtmoy.

A mossy carpet covers the ground in the myconid village, and the vegepygmies live in crude huts made of wood walls and moss roofs. The myconids don’t live in any structures, but instead converge around massive hollow petrified log from an ancient tree that fell centuries ago. White cap mushroom groves are scattered about the village. Twigs and branches form a fence of sorts around the village, and an archway leads in.

The relic of Zuggtmoy is set up like an obelisk in the center of the village. Myconids surround it day and night, compelled to worship it. The entire village is covered in a mist that reduces visibility to twenty feet. However, the chanting of the myconids worshiping the relic can be heard from far away.

A successful DC 8 Intelligence (Religion) check identifies the chanting as the worship of some being. If the check succeeds by five or more, they recognize it as the worship of a demonic being.

The relic needs to be taken out of the forest or destroyed to end the threat of Zuggtmoy to the region. If the characters disturb the relic, two nearby myconid adults and two living white cap mushrooms (use awakened shrub stats) attack, attempting to stop the characters.

Once the relic is destroyed or removed from the forest, the plants return to normal, and the myconids and vegepygmies slowly become uncorrupted from its influence.

As a token of gratitude, the gnome reward the characters with several crates of rare truffles that they had been saving. The characters can then take these to Lord Dansworth Ratheem if they so choose.

When the characters report to Lord Ratheem their success, he rewards them with the promised 250 gp.

Below will be a list of all the houserules and DMG variations I use in my games. I make this for ease of use more than anything else; if someone wants to use them, they are more than able to.


The following DMG variant options are in play:

• Potion miscibility (DMG, pg. 140).
• Scroll mishaps: Scroll mishaps function as printed; however, you can attempt to cast a spell from a spell scroll, even if you don’t have the spell on your list, and even if you don’t have the spellcasting trait at all. However, you must make an Arcana check at DC 10 + spell’s level, or it fails. Thieves with the Use Magic Device trait have advantage on their check to use a scroll. A creature who tries and fails to cast a spell from a spell scroll must make a DC8 + spell's level Intelligence saving throw. If the saving throw fails, roll on the Scroll Mishap table (DMG, pg. 140).
• Firearms: Bombs, Gunpowder, and Renaissance era items only. Take special note of Firearm's weapon properties.
• Only Players Grants Inspiration
• Poisons
• Buying & Selling Magic Items: Selling uses the rules on pg. 130. Buying magic items are purchased as if they were crafted (see Houserule: Magic Item Crafting), assuming you are able to locate an individual selling the item you wish to purchase.
• Villainous class options are available to player characters.
• Carousing: this uses a slightly modified table, presented below.

New Feats
Master Artisan

5e Dmg Magic Item Tables

Through training and dedication, you have mastered the use of a type of artisan's tools. You pick one set of artisan's tools that you are proficient with. When using those tools to craft an item, you double the amount of progress you make each day, after all other modifiers. If you wish, you may purchase this feat multiple times, each purchase applying to a different artisan tool.
Cooperative Crafting
You are adept at communicating and detailing your instructions to your assistants. When using artisan tools to craft an item, any creatures assisting you double the amount of progress that is made on the item being created by the group.
Poisoner
You gain proficiency in the poisoner's kit, if you did not already possess it. In addition, when you create or harvest poisons, you gain two doses when you would normally gain one, and you add your proficiency bonus to the DCs of any poison you create yourself.
Feat Houserules
Bonus Feats
A character gets bonus feats as they level; one feat at 1st level, and an additional feat at 5th, 11th, and 17th levels. This does not include any feats you purchase in place of taking Ability Score Increases; they are in addition to that option.
Alert
This feat does not prevent you from being surprised. Use the revised feat below.
Alert
Always on the lookout for danger, you gain the following benefits:

• You enjoy a +5 bonus to your Initiative modifier.
• You have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks, including your passive Perception.
• No creature gains advantage on you from being hidden from you.

Dual Wielder
This feat adds the following benefit. This fixes the math, a bit, between Great Weapon Master and Sharpshooter.

• When you hit with one of your main hand attacks and your off hand attack on the same target, you deal an additional amount of damage equal to your proficiency bonus.

• Color Spray: Color Spray's blindness effect lasts until the end of your next turn, rather than until the spell ends; as written, it only lasts a single round, meaning the start of your next turn, which severely limits its utility in combat. In addition, this changes the spell's Duration to 'Instantaneous'.
• Blade Ward: The Blade Ward cantrip may be cast on another individual, and has a range of 30ft.
