Waterdeep: Adventures in the Forgotten Realms

Tome64

The City of Splendors brought to life! Designed for narrative-rich experiences in the Forgotten Realms setting of Faerun's Sword Coast. While the main focus of the world is Waterdeep, locations throughout the Sword Coast and outer planes are available as well.

Author's Note: Welcome to Waterdeep: The City of Splendors Step into one of the most iconic and richly storied cities in the Forgotten Realms—now expanded and reimagined for deeper exploration and immersive play. Waterdeep: The City of Splendors is your gateway to the Sword Coast, the Moonsea Region, and even the distant reaches of the Outer Planes. While Waterdeep remains the heart of the experience, its surrounding territories are available for those bold enough to venture beyond the city walls. This adaptation builds upon official Forgotten Realms lore, but introduces both minor and major changes to support a more engaging and open-ended campaign. For example, the characters from Baldur’s Gate 3 are playable, but have been recontextualized to exist in Waterdeep rather than Baldur’s Gate. Content is designed for compatibility with Waterdeep: Dragon Heist, Dungeon of the Mad Mage, and a host of original plot hooks waiting to be uncovered across the city’s alleys, taverns, towers, and catacombs. You’re free to explore at your own pace, shape the world as you see fit, or lose yourself in the layered politics, mysteries, and magic of the city. This is not a replacement for a traditional tabletop game—it’s a love letter to it. Dedicated to anyone who struggles to find a group and is itching to play. If you enjoy what’s inside, consider supporting the official Dungeons & Dragons books. They remain an invaluable resource for players and storytellers alike—and they make excellent collectibles.

Rare•Weapon (Martial Melee Weapons)

Weight4.00 lb.

Description

You gain a +1 bonus to Attack and Damage Rolls made with this Magic Weapon. In addition, while you are attuned to this weapon, your Hit Points maximum increases by 1 for each level you have attained. ***Curse.*** This axe is Cursed, and becoming attuned to it extends the curse to you. As long as you remain Cursed, you are unwilling to part with the axe, keeping it within reach at all times. You also have disadvantage on Attack rolls with Weapons other than this one, unless no foe is within 60 feet of you that you can see or hear. Whenever a Hostile creature damages you while the axe is in your possession, you must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or go berserk. While berserk, you must use your action each round to Attack the creature nearest to you with the axe. If you can make extra attacks as part of the Attack action, you use those extra attacks, moving to Attack the next nearest creature after you fell your current target. If you have multiple possible Targets, you Attack one at random. You are berserk until you start Your Turn with no creatures within 60 feet of you that you can see or hear.
