Let's do something a little different, and play with May Showers, produce April Flowers! Every April Bloom requires a daily Interaction. During a Long Rest, a character can spend 3 minutes tending to their flower (watering it with purified water, singing to it = a successful DC 12 Intelligence (Nature) or Charisma (Performance) check). - The Nurtured Path (Luck): If treated nicely, the flower grants the gardener Heroic Inspiration at the end of the Long Rest. - The Nature’s Wrath Path (Combat): If the flower is thrown as a Magic Missile-like projectile (an Action), it withers instantly but unleashes a localized storm. _____ To use these in a fight, you treat the flower as a Ranged Simple Weapon with the Thrown (20/60) property. Expert Tip: In the 2024 rules, "Heroic Inspiration" is much more common. To make these flowers truly "lucky," if a player already has Heroic Inspiration when they successfully nurture the flower, they can instead choose to reroll one damage die on their next successful attack. The "May Shower" Clause: If a character carrying these flowers is hit by an attack that deals Cold or Acid damage, the flowers "over-hydrate." The character must succeed on a DC 10 Dexterity Saving Throw or the flowers detonate prematurely in their pack, dealing 1d10 Thunder damage and ruining the blossoms.

What is something you would create for a campaign?

For the first week of March I am creating a Cult for your campaigns! The Cult: The Prowlers of the Pale Gallop "The sky is our ceiling; the hunt is our spice." The Prowlers are an obscure, all-female sect of hunters and gourmands who worship Zyro the Food Meister, a minor Fiend from the Abyss who takes the form of a six-eyed, leopard-spotted Tabaxi of immense girth. They believe that civilization (walls, roofs, and "blandness") softens the soul. To them, the ultimate life is a violent hunt followed by a decadent, herb-infused feast. The Deity: Zyro the Food Meister Zyro is a Cat Fiend (Neutral Evil) who rules a small, open-air pocket dimension in the Abyss known as The Infinite Pantry. Unlike most demons who want to destroy, Zyro wants to consume. She grants her followers supernatural predatory grace, provided they never eat "common" food and never step foot under a finished roof. Cult Dogma & Taboos - The Great Outdoors: The cult suffers from a unique psychological aversion to being indoors. Entering a building requires a DC 15 Wisdom Saving Throw to avoid the Frightened condition. They sleep under the stars, even in blizzards. - The Gender Ban: No men are permitted. Zyro claims men "lack the necessary feline finesse" and "smell like wet dogs." - The White Nectar (Ranch): The cult is obsessed with a magical condiment they call "The White Nectar"—essentially a hyper-potent, magically infused Ranch Dressing. They use it as a dip, a war paint, and a ritualistic offering. To them, a meal without "The Zing" is a blasphemy. - Lavish Trading: They don't care for gold. They trade in Lavish Treats: candied monster hearts, Owlbear marrow crackers, or "The Zing" itself. Recruitment: The Selective Purge The Prowlers are notoriously picky. To join, a candidate must be female and pass The Three Tastings: 1. The Scent: Must track a displacer beast by smell alone across 10 miles. 2. The Kill: Must take down a CR 3 or higher beast using only "claws" (unarmed strikes or daggers). 3. The Palate: Must drink a pint of Zyro’s "Ancient Hidden Valley" Ranch without vomiting. It is spicy enough to melt lead.
