Elaris stands in an industrial revolution, while magic remains, technology is rapidly reshaping life


Author's Note: Author's Notes for Players: Welcome to Elaris, a world in the throes of transformation. Once ruled by powerful mages and dominated by arcane traditions, Elaris is now embracing the tides of change brought by an industrial revolution. Steam engines hum where magic once ruled unchallenged, and airships, trains, and arcane-powered firearms are redefining how people live and fight. While the old ways of magic still hold sway in some parts of the world, the rise of technology is creating a new order, challenging the balance of power. In this world, you’ll encounter individuals who fiercely cling to tradition, while others are eager to explore the possibilities of innovation. This tension between the magical and mechanical will drive much of the story. Your characters will have the opportunity to navigate this shifting landscape, shaping the future of Elaris as they see fit. Whether you align with the arcane past or embrace the technological future, Elaris is a world ripe for exploration and reinvention. Choose your path wisely, as your decisions could change the course of history.

Description

Objects come to life at your command. Choose up to ten nonmagical objects within range that are not being worn or carried. Medium targets count as two objects, Large targets count as four objects, Huge targets count as eight objects. You can't animate any object larger than Huge. Each target animates and becomes a creature under your control until the spell ends or until reduced to 0 hit points. As a bonus action, you can mentally command any creature you made with this spell if the creature is within 500 feet of you (if you control multiple creatures, you can command any or all of them at the same time, issuing the same command to each one). You decide what action the creature will take and where it will move during its next turn, or you can issue a general command, such as to guard a particular chamber or corridor. If you issue no commands, the creature only defends itself against hostile creatures. Once given an order, the creature continues to follow it until its task is complete. ### Animated Object Statistics | Size | HP | AC | Attack | Str | Dex | |--------|----|----|----------------------------|-----|-----| | Tiny | 20 | 18 | +8 to hit, 1d4 + 4 damage | 4 | 18 | | Small | 25 | 16 | +6 to hit, 1d8 + 2 damage | 6 | 14 | | Medium | 40 | 13 | +5 to hit, 2d6 + 1 damage | 10 | 12 | | Large | 50 | 10 | +6 to hit, 2d10 + 2 damage | 14 | 10 | | Huge | 80 | 10 | +8 to hit, 2d12 + 4 damage | 18 | 6 | An animated object is a construct with AC, hit points, attacks, Strength, and Dexterity determined by its size. Its Constitution is 10 and its Intelligence and Wisdom are 3, and its Charisma is 1. Its speed is 30 feet; if the object lacks legs or other appendages it can use for locomotion, it instead has a flying speed of 30 feet and can hover. If the object is securely attached to a surface or a larger object, such as a chain bolted to a wall, its speed is 0. It has blindsight with a radius of 30 feet and is blind beyond that distance. When the animated object drops to 0 hit points, it reverts to its original object form, and any remaining damage carries over to its original object form. If you command an object to attack, it can make a single melee attack against a creature within 5 feet of it. It makes a slam attack with an attack bonus and bludgeoning damage determined by its size. The DM might rule that a specific object inflicts slashing or piercing damage based on its form.
