When The Light Starts Off

T
Thatmikail

The sky bleeds cerulean dusk; crimson grasslands glow with decay. Obsidian spires rise through a shattered sky, where Kaiju mutate scavengers. Fleshforge splice star-flesh, Voidforged wield entropy; Orc shamans carve scars to channel the Eclipse Bull’s shadow—a beast whose antlers shattered time. Luminarchs burn with prismatic flames; Vampires drink starlight to stave rot. At its core: the Purple Hunger, a void-parasite devouring sound and sanity. Survive via mutation, betrayal, or decay.


Author's Note: This is all my notes and it's my own creation to deliver with you guys: 1. RACES Core Theme: Survival through adaptation to a decaying, unstable world. Animatroniac : Clockwork beings seeking “true life” via heart-theft (ties to Fleshforge, Voidforged). Human : Ambitious but fragile, driven by desperation (key for Shattered Eclipse/Vortexcall conflicts). Elves/Ucing : Connected to unstable natural forces (e.g., fungal corruption, echolocation). Vampire/Half-Vam : Immortal but bound to light/darkness cycles (clash with Luminarchs/Obsidian Choir). Kaiju-Hybrid Races (Orc, Nailling, Beastbound) : Embody physical and magical mutations from cosmic decay. Mechanics: Mutations (e.g., random effects from Kaiju Graveyard exposure). Light/darkness immunities/resistances (e.g., Vampire vs. Voidforged). 2. CLASSES Core Theme: Power derived from chaos , sacrifice , or fusion with cosmic forces. Eclipse Weaver / Luminarch : Manipulate unstable light/prismatic energy (risk mutation). Voidforged / Spirekin : Weaponize entropy and void-energy (collapse environments). Fleshforge / Beastbound : Merge organic and celestial/mutant forms (risk losing humanity). Glovewhisper / Cogmancer : Use rhythm or gearwork magic to outmaneuver foes. Mechanics: Prismatic Collapse : Risk mutation for power. Voidsteel Anchor : Warp gravity to destabilize enemies. Temporal Reflexes : Counter time loops (Chronophagia/Prismatic Forest synergy). 3. FACTIONS Core Theme: Ideological wars over how to survive or exploit the world’s decay. Fleshforge : Seek evolution through mutation (clash with Eidolon Harvesters). Chronophagia : Rewrite history (feud with Obsidian Choir over time/sound). Obsidian Choir : Worship silence (target Luminarchs’ prismatic rituals). Eidolon Harvesters : Drain memories (oppose Fleshforge/Voidforged). Conflicts: Kaiju Graveyard : Fleshforge vs. Gianté nomads. Voidborn Chasm : Voidforged vs. Eidolon Harvesters. Eclipse Bull’s Hollow : Orc clans vs. Vampire hunters.

Description

This slender taper is dedicated to a deity and shares that deity's alignment. The candle's alignment can be detected with the detect evil and good spell. The GM chooses the god and associated alignment or determines the alignment randomly. | d20 | Alignment | |---|---| | 1-2 | Chaotic evil | | 3-4 | Chaotic neutral | | 5-7 | Chaotic good | | 8-9 | Neutral evil | | 10-11 | Neutral | | 12-13 | Neutral good | | 14-15 | Lawful evil | | 16-17 | Lawful neutral | | 18-20 | Lawful good | The candle's magic is activated when the candle is lit, which requires an action. After burning for 4 hours, the candle is destroyed. You can snuff it out early for use at a later time. Deduct the time it burned in increments of 1 minute from the candle's total burn time. While lit, the candle sheds dim light in a 30-foot radius. Any creature within that light whose alignment matches that of the candle makes attack rolls, saving throws, and ability checks with advantage. In addition, a cleric or druid in the light whose alignment matches the candle's can cast 1stlevel spells he or she has prepared without expending spell slots, though the spell's effect is as if cast with a 1st-level slot. Alternatively, when you light the candle for the first time, you can cast the gate spell with it. Doing so destroys the candle.
