Yamato

S
Shinrai

A fantastical world heavily inspired by japanese mythology and the edo time period.


Author's Note: Complete custom world without any 5e Defaults. This is NOT a Dungeons and Dragons World. Atm there are: 12 custom races 9 custom classes (all are able to cast spells, physical classes as well as magical ones) over 100 playable characters over 200 custom cantrips and spells 114 custom items Currently planned: 2 more factions (merchant guild and artist guild of sorts) and adding the whole character roster to those factions. But I need to get a better grasp how Franz works in conjuntion with those systems atm, so I will refrain from putting all current characters into factions for the time being. Known issues: -"I can not start a campaign with a character I created myself." Possible workaround: Clone Yamato and add the character you want to play as in your workshop tab into the character list of Yamato. Then start a campaign from there and select the character. If the character has a class and race that is not present in Yamato, you should also copy it over and integrate it in the Yamato world in your workshop tab as well, including the spells you use. I do not know what causes this issue. But this is a non-d&d world with selfmade classes and selfmade races. If you try to play my world with a custom character from your own workshop with a class and race that is not present in Yamato, it might cause problems. There can also problems occure, when you starting a campaign NOT at a POI with a starting location (the star before the POI name signals where you should start without a problem), but just an area. - "In Fights Franz tells me that I can not eat any of the healing items like Onigiri.": should he complain, anwer him that the item is a Potion and should be treated like one and he will let you drink it. At least it worked for me this way when testing. A bit odd, but atm the only workaround. All graphics were made with Nightcafé. You are free to use my graphics, spell descriptions, races, items etc. in your own build worlds and campaigns.

Description

Yamauba is a reclusive ogress known for her cunning and dark magic, often dwelling in the mountainous regions. She is characterized by her long, unkempt hair and a patchwork robe made from the hides of lost wanderers. With a penchant for trickery, she lures unsuspecting travelers into her lair, where she either aids them with her knowledge of herbs and potions or ensnares them in her wicked plans for her own gain.

Chilling Grasp

Luring Illusion

Yamauba creates an illusion within a 30-foot radius, causing creatures to see a tempting sight of food or other distractions. Creatures must succeed on a DC 14 Wisdom saving throw or be charmed by her, moving towards the illusion and ignoring any threats until they succeed on the saving throw.

Spellcasting

Yamauba can cast spells from the druid and witch spell lists, using Charisma as her spellcasting ability (spell save DC 14). She can cast spells such as Entangle, Invisibility, and Grasping Vine.
