Leeching Magic Items

In the early decades of the Fifth Age, Wizards
found themselves powerless, as the three
moons of magic had disappeared and been
replaced by a single pale moon. Desperate to
regain a measure of their former power, these
former wizards discovered that magic items
retained their magical power. A rush was made
to hoard as many of these magic items as
possible.

The Shadow Sorcerer (actually Takhisis in

disguise) discovered that it was possible to
actually leech the magical power from magic
items and temporarily allow wizards to cast
their spells once more, despite the absence of
the moons of magic. An even greater rush for
magic items soon ensued. What follows are
variant rules for leeching magic items.

Variant Magic
Leeching
As a bonus action, any sorcerer or wizard can leech
magic from any magic item she is touching. The
wizard gains a number of spell slot levels from the
magic item leeched, which can be used as normal.
The amount of spell slot levels gained varies by
magic item rarity. The wizard determines how many
spell slot levels to leech at the time of leeching.
Consumable magic items, such as potions and
scrolls are immediately destroyed when leeched and
only impart one spell slot level, regardless of what

Magic Sword by Larry Elmore

spells are currently stored within. Any amount of

leeching from a magic item will cause that magic
item to become dormant, and until it recovers all its
spell slot levels, it is for all intents and purposes a
mundane item. If all the spell slot levels are leeched
from a magic item it is destroyed, as though it were
a consumable magic item.
The DM determines how many spell slot levels can
be leeched from an artifact. Artifacts retain their
magical power unless they have been completely
drained of spell slot levels.
Leeched magic items recover one spell slot level per
day.
Cantrips are treated as a spell slot level.

e.g. Dalamar, a level 13 high elf wizard,
normally has the following spell slots per day:
-Spell Slots per Spell Level1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th 6th 7th 8th 9th
4

Since the campaign takes place in the first few

godless decades of the Age of Mortals, Dalamar
is powerless. Using a medallion of faith (an
uncommon magic item), Dalamar can drain
anywhere from 1 to 4 spell slot levels. Since
Dalamar is currently being accosted by a band
of goblins, as a bonus action Dalamar drains 3
spell slot levels from the medallion of faith, and
with his action casts a fireball (level 3 slot).
The medallion of faith is now powerless and
will take 3 days before it becomes functional
once more.

Ogre Titans

titan.

The Age of Dreams has returned, and we are

those dreams made flesh. Dauroth, first of
the titans

Titan

Ogre Titans are massive 15 foot tall creatures

of midnight blue skin, cat-like yellow eyes, and
tremendous physical and magical power. They
are the mythological high ogres made real, and
it is all a lie, for their Transformation and
continued existence as Ogre Titans requires
the blood of living elves. Assuming the Ogre
Titan can maintain his state of grace, he could
theoretically live as long as the elves whose
blood sustains him (see Rise of the Titans and
the Ogre Titans trilogy of novels for more
information on ogre titans).

Ogres and oni that complete the Transformation

gain the following traits.
Ability Score Increase. Your Strength,
Dexterity, and Constitution scores increase by 2.
Your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores
increase by 4.
Size. Titans average 15 feet in height and 5,000
pounds in weight. Your size is Huge.
Awe-Inspiring Presence. The mere presence of a
titan can have an incredible effect upon those
around him. Ogres and half-ogres (including oni,
but not minotaurs or high ogres) within 60 feet
must make a Wisdom saving throw or else be
charmed by the titan. The DC for this Wisdom
saving throw equals 8 + your Charisma modifier +
your proficiency bonus.
The charmed target treats the titan as a trusted
friend to be heeded and protected. Each time the
titan or the titans companions do anything harmful
to the target, it can repeat the saving throw, ending
the effect on itself on a success. Otherwise the effect
is continuous, and lasts for 24 hours after the ogre
or half-ogre leaves the titans presence.
Non-ogres (including minotaurs and high ogres)
that enter the area of effect must make a Wisdom
saving throw as well, or else be frightened for 1
minute. A creature can repeat the saving throw at
the end of each of its turns, ending the effect on
itself on a success. If a creatures saving throw is
successful or the effect ends for it, the creature is

Ogre Titan by ?

The Transformation
For an ogre (as well as oni) to undergo the
transformation to titan, a large amount of
fresh, pure, elven blood is required, specifically
that of at least ten adult elves. The blood must
come from the bodies no more than three
hours before the ritual is performed. The blood
is placed in a specially prepared iron cauldron
and mixed with a number of other ingredients,
mostly special plants and some ground
minerals such as quartz from the Valley of
Crystal (see The Odyssey of Gilthanas for more
information on this valley), and gemstones.
Transmutation and necromantic magic are
required to infuse the components within the

immune to the titans Awe-Inspiring Presence for

the next 24 hours. The DC for this Wisdom saving
throw equals 8 + your Charisma modifier + your
proficiency bonus.
Necromantic Talent. You have resistance to
necrotic damage.
Innate Spellcasting. Your innate spellcasting
ability is Charisma. You can cast the following
spells, requiring no material components.
At will: magic missile, stone shape (Unlike the spell,
you are capable of finer mechanical detail. The DC
is determined by the complexity of the design).
Heightened Senses. You have advantage on
Wisdom (Perception) checks.

Inscrutable Intellect. You have advantage on
saving throws against Enchantment spells and
effects.
Natural Armor. You have natural armor (AC 11).
Elbow-Spurs. Melee Weapon Attack: reach 10 ft.,
one target. Hit: 1d6 + Strength modifier piercing
damage.
Languages. You can speak, read, and write
Titan.

Degeneration
The power a titan commands is immense, but
it is not permanent. One month after their
transformation, a titan must make a hard (DC
20) Constitution saving throw or begin
physically degenerating, transforming into a
monster with none of the titan powers, all
within 5 days of failing this saving throw. The
next day, the titan must make another
Constitution saving throw, this time at very
hard (DC 25) difficulty, or else succumb to
degeneration. Every subsequent day the
Constitution saving throw increases by one
degree until it is impossible to resist the
degeneration.
The only method of forestalling this
degeneration is to undergo the transformation
once again, or to take a sustaining elixir that
must be consumed during the new moon and
requires the blood of but a single elf. Unlike
the transformation, the blood need not come
from a single elf, and once bottled, stores well
and can be used up to a year after its
containment.
Should the titan completely degenerate, she
does not simply revert to her original form. She
not only loses all the benefits of being a titan,
but also suffers a -3 penalty to Strength,
Constitution, and Intelligence, as well as a -6
penalty to Charisma.

certain bloodlines exist among the various
common races that allow individuals to take

Shapechangers adhere to all the rules regarding
lycanthropes, save that they may only assume
animal form and do not possess the curse of
lycanthropy. The werebear, weretiger, and werewolf
