100 Magic Weather And Storms

One hundred magic storms and weird weather.

GENERATE STORM

1. Daggerfall: It rains daggers dealing 1d4 damage / round people are out unprotected.
2. Raven Mists: An enormous bank of peasoup-thick mist rolls in and settles. In the thickest part, it
causes a choking cough, but the players can push through as long as they can hold their breath.
3. Counterspell Damp: An invisible dampness in the air that reduces the e ects of magical spells
(ranges shortened or stopped altogether).
4. Psychic storm: Random voices can be heard everywhere, whispering horrible things into
people’s ears. People out in it too long may go temporarily insane.
 5. anna from heaven: Hail that is actually just edible food. Small, dense, hard nuggets of
sustenance that can be crushed into water or sucked on like a candy. Doesn’t have a strong
taste, but collecting a pound will provide a single meal ration.
6. Acid Rain: Literal acid rain.
7. Peacemaker Aurora: Aurora that has the calm emotions spell e ect to those nearby
8. Watertaker: A tornado that targets nearby water sources and drains them
9. Elemental Spawning: Each drop of water is an incredibly tiny young water elemental. They begin
to crawl to the nearest body of water, forming a huge wave knocking over anything in its wake.
As they fall, they may try to swarm the party. No damage will be taken, but those plagued by
the minuscule elementals will appear to be covered in a layer of water.
10. Fool’s Gold Dusting: A dust storm of gold dust, but bottling or capturing it makes it dissolve.
11. Woodsprout: A lightning storm that strikes wooden objects, making them sprout shoots that
grow rapidly in random directions
12. Planar Corruption: Tiny portals start appearing everywhere, dropping critters from other
planes.
13. Hellmouth: Dark clouds suddenly appear in the sky. Lightning strikes between them,
instantaneously making terrifying monster shapes stand out from the ashes. Nothing ever
actually happens, though.
14. Cats and Dogs: It rains cats and dogs. They do take damage, though, and most die. Some are
under the e ects of feather fall.
15. Slow lightning. It only travels at walking pace, but is very persistent.
16. Djinni Feud: On closer inspection, the storm is in fact two gangs of djinni locked in a bitter feud.
To those who can understand their language, they make wildly generous o ers to join their side
– but can they be trusted?
17. Judas’ mark: Everyone in the party is wreathed with St Elmo’s re – except one.
18. Ultrachthonian Downpour: Rain so heavy you glimpse tentacled horrors within it.
19. Ion storm: A lightning storm that lasts for more than a day. The air in the area becomes so
ionized, that metallic objects randomly release sparkles and small lightning bolts.
20. Skeletal sleet: Skulls and ground up bone powder fall to the ground
21. Wild Hunt: Snaky bolts of magic dart parallel to the ground. Those struck become a icted with
a persistent Hunter’s Mark. Most people and wildlife caught outside tends to be marked.
22. Upside-down rain: Puddles form on the ground. Then the puddles then become rain falling
upwards, until the puddles are exhausted and the ground is dry.
23. Fishnado: It’s raining sh. The sh start small and harmless, but gradually become more
bothersome (electric eels, pu er sh, sharks) and followed by massive and outright mythical
creatures.
24. Cometfall: Magic Missiles rain down causing 1d4 force damage
25. Olympus passing: A storm appears and the clouds rend, revealing Olympus. This becomes a
gate to that upper plane. The storm stays in the area for 3d4 hours.
26. Marimo drop: Glowing moss falls from a clear sky. They can be collected and put into globes to
be used as a light source similar to Continual Light.
27. Rain of Blood: Classic rain of blood. \m/
28. Rain of Fire: Classic rain of re from a typhoon of magic magma.
29. Sandcloud: Sandstorm, but it falls from clouds of traveling sand rather than blown from the
ground as usual.
30. Hitchcock’s Omen: A ‘storm’ of migrating birds passes through. Small birds ood around you,
run into you, and occasionally claw at you. It ‘rains’ feathers and birdpoop.
31. Darkmarch: An enormous column of traveling darkness rolls in and passes through for several
days. Sounds like thunder or marching emanate softly from within.
32. Celestial Passing: A huge cloudbank of scintillating pu y clouds blows overhead. They give o
thunder-like booms but no lightning, only sprays of light. It rains holy water, accompanied by
copious rainbows. Sometimes celestial feathers fall.
33. Pixie weather: It rains beautiful bubbles. A faint laughter of pixies can be heard as they pop.
34. Arcane rain: It rains paper in strange languages with unknown diagrams, runes, markings. It
also rains droplets of various colors of ink. Most pages are quickly blotted out by the ink, but
collecting 200 or so may be enough to decipher a secret. Collecting in the middle of the storm is
better, but anyone showered upon risks gaining a temporary form of madness, is temporaily
polymorphed, or otherwise a ected by some other unpredictable e ect. The ink is useless
when mixed together but usable as expensive ne ink if individual droplets are collected and
mixed with like kin. Articles of clothing left outdoors become tie-dyed.
35. Bloodsucker Swarm: Fell winds blow in bothersome biting creatures from a far away land. You
can’t sleep soundly unless you nd a way to keep the biters o .
36. Negative Thunderstorm – Skies darken. Waves of purple energy crackle across the sky and all
color seems to fade. There is a shrill screaming noise, that gets louder and louder for several
seconds until a blast of supernatural darkness shoots up from the ground. Creatures struck
take negative/necrotic damage and are silenced for a while. Creatures killed by this rise as
undead 2d6 hours later.
37. Flowerfall: A cloud of beautiful delicate petals makes a rain that blankets the surroundings. The
storm has a nastier cousin: the pollen cloud.
38. Gelatinous rain: A gelatinous cube rains down over a certain region, and will form into its cube
shape in some time if not dealt with.
39. Rain of distrust: Long exposure will make the party ght itself for 1d6 turns.
40. Cackling thunder: The skies let loose a maniacal laugh that frightens all beings that are
outdoors on a failed will save
41. Rain of animal growth: Any animal caught in the rain will grow by a 1d4 growth modi er.
42. Doppelganger Rain: The party caught in this weird rain is forced to ght a doppelganger of
themselves. The duplicates disappear when the rain ends, so running is an option.
43. Furnace Snow: Snow that is unusually hot, and burns people.
44. Golden shower: It rains little bits of gold, a few put together can equal a gold.
45. Apathy Rain: Textureless, grey clouds begin to form, stretching further and further across the
sky until they touch the horizon in every direction. The air becomes damp, and soon a light
drizzle begins to sweep across the land. An observant onlooker may eventually notice that the
rain seems as gray as the sky it fell from, and that bodies of water become unnaturally opaque
as they are rained on. There is no imminent danger from being exposed to the light shower, but
as time goes on, people who are exposed to the drizzle gradually become increasingly apathetic
and weary. Being exposed to the rain for a half hour induces feelings of mild tiredness and lazy
irritability, while being exposed from 1 to 2 hours leaves a victim uninterested in most
stimulation, and unmotivated to do any for of physical activity, even moving. Being exposed for
any amount of time longer than 2 hours leaves a person without the will move out of the rain,
and with a fading will to live. Exposure to the rain for 4 hours or more will put the victim into a
 deep coma that requires magical healing to x, and after 6 hours of exposure, the victim dies as
their heartbeat slowly grinds to a halt.
46. Dancers Rain: White clouds billow unnaturally as what was before a gentle breeze begins turns
to sharp gusts. Within minutes it looks like there is a bulging mountain range in the sky, small
cloud-pu s reach towards the ground and are tossed back, and strands of cloud are molded it
into chaotic patterns and designs. At the storm’s zenith, the cloud wisps touch the ground and
resemble dancing humanoids whipping the wind around them. Those that stand within the
clouds that touch the surface can hear joyful, rambunctious laughter in the howls of the wind,
as though the spirits of the storm are inviting them out to play.
47. Ascetic’s boon: Really nasty sleet, but someone who exposes themselves and withstands the
bitterness of the whole storm nds all their weapons, clothing, and armor granted a temporary
+1 bu .
48. Ghost rain: It’s raining, but the rain seems to pass right through everything. Careful inspection
reveals the rain is splashing against and forming puddles on surfaces that don’t exist. It turns
out the rain is falling in a parallel plane, or is a memory from the past falling on the land as it
was long ago.
49. Scentwind: A whole bunch of odd smells are blown in on the breeze. Each gust of wind changes
the smell entirely. One moment you smell strawberries and creme, then iodine, then fresh
bread, then decaying leaves.
50. Drunken Deluge: It rains mild alcohol. Staying out too long will get you buzzed from the vapor
alone. Wild animals become incorrigibly drunk, even the magic ones.
51. Cleansing rain: the rain cleans the clothes of those in it.
52. Radiant Light: Bright yellowy white clouds cover the sky. They emit a powerful light, dealing
radiant damage per round to whoever is standing unprotected outside.

spontaneously combust. The bubbles are di cult to spot, and are best spotted by looking for
the heat distortions of objects behind them.
54. Underground blizzard: Interior spaces, underground passages, and caves frost over and a light
snow falls inside.
55. Friendly breeze: The air causes people to be friendly to one another as if charmed. People must
roll wisdom saves to not hug each other in the streets.
56. Blood Flood: All the blood of the dead crawls from the ground and runs in rivulets towards a
pooling location.

or the stars. Night monsters react appropriately.
58. Out-of-season Autumn: Leaves all fall from their trees regardless of the season and ll the sky

59. Cyclopes Workshop: A seemingly typical thunderstorm, but each roll of thunder is
accompaniment by the silhouette of a mighty creature striking a great anvil behind the clouds.
60. Minegas Mists: A bank of ammable mist settles over the land, igniting the mist burns o a
clearing 50ft across.

skeletons, minotaur skeletons, crawling claws, zombies, orc zombies, and beholder zombies.
62. Blobdrop: Raindrops from the storm fall short of the ground, instead forming large amorphous
blobs of water, they are burst easily.
63. Antigravity storm: A red cloud lightning storm with pink bolts. Wherever lightning strikes, be it
earth, a tree, or building, the object or area begins hovering and slowly rises up towards the
sky. This e ect lasts for 1h, after which all the objects slowly descend.

70. Water repellent rain: After the rst few drops land on anything, any further drops (of any liquid)
are hydrophobically repelled for 1d10 hours. This includes blood the character might spill
(minor cuts could become major wounds for example) or anything the character tries to drink.
71. Summon water rain: Every water droplet is a small puddle. When the droplet lands, instead of a
small ‘splt’ you would expect, it ‘splooshes’ into an entire puddle. Tends to lead to massive
ooding.
72. Locust Plague: A swarm of locusts of biblical proportions lls the skies.
73. Fog of the Trees: this fog gets you so high that while in it you and everyone else inside forgets
who they are. Good times are had, munchies galore.

welding again’

perception check is required to realize if something is an illusion.

little droplets of electricity that steaks down from the sky. Not innately harmful.

If they succeed they are immune to this e ect for 12 seconds (2 rounds).
 83. Lawful Sun: The sun glows blue instead of yellow today. Lawful creatures in direct sunlight gain

pinkish-orange glow until the next sunrise.
