⚔️ 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Staff of the Eclipse
Staff, very rare (requires attunement by a druid, sorcerer, warlock, or wizard) ___

This staff has a crescent-shaped head made of pockmarked lunar stone. Floating within the crescent stone is a motionless, black orb. Regardless of how you look at the orb, it’s always encircled by a ring of fire that faces you. The fire winks out if the staff isn’t held. The fire is harmless, and it sheds bright light in a 10-foot radius and dim light for an additional 10 feet.

While holding the staff, you have darkvision out to a range of 60 feet. If you already have darkvision, holding the staff increases its range by 60 feet.

The staff has 10 charges. It regains 1d6 + 4 expended charges daily at dusk. If you expend the last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the staff crumbles into dust and is destroyed.

𝙎𝙥𝙚𝙡𝙡𝙨. While holding the staff, you can use an action to expend some of its charges to cast either the “moonbeam” (2 charges) or “wall of fire” (4 charges) spell, using your spell save DC. This version of “wall of fire” creates the same ghostly flames as “moonbeam”; it deals radiant damage instead of fire damage and doesn’t ignite flammable objects, although it doesn’t share “moonbeam’s” other effects. You can increase the spell slot level of a spell cast from the staff by one for each additional charge you expend.

𝘽𝙡𝙤𝙤𝙙 𝙈𝙤𝙤𝙣. When you cast “moonbeam” from the staff, you can choose to cause its dim light to be red. A creature that fails the saving throw against the spell also has its hit point maximum reduced by an amount equal to the radiant damage dealt. The reduction lasts until the creature finishes a long rest. Once this property of the staff has been used, it can’t be used again until the next dawn.

𝘾𝙤𝙧𝙤𝙣𝙖𝙡 𝙁𝙡𝙖𝙢𝙚. When you cast “wall of fire” from the staff, you can choose to cause it to embody the nature of an eclipse. When you do, the spell creates a ringed wall up to 20 feet in diameter, 20 feet high, and 1 foot thick; the area within the ring is filled with magical darkness until the spell ends. While holding the staff, you can see through this darkness as if…

Figures at work in a winter landscape, an approaching storm beyond (1859) by Fredrik Marinus Kruseman (1816-1882)

photos by lassi rautiainen, susan brookes and staffan widstrand of a rare friendship that developed between a female grey wolf and a male brown bear in northern finland.

notes lassi, “no one can know exactly why or how the young wolf and bear became friends, but i think that perhaps they were both alone when they were young and a bit unsure of how to survive alone. it seems to me that they feel safe being together.”

the photographers also note that the two share every meal together, bringing each other their kills (as seen in the third and fifth photos).

OOOoooohhh been kinda wafflin’ on what to do for my second round as DM but i think i finally figured it out...fantasy noir murder mystery....except the thing is that the pcs are hired by the author to figure out how to end her latest novel and this is done by her sending them into the story (fuck you it’s magic) and working out the story through there

soulmates but not in a soft romantic way soulmates in a destined to change each other for better or for worse, cannot be who they are without each other, unstoppable together but they’re also the only ones who can defeat each other, equals, existences undeniably tied to each other way

thinkin’ abt modern au ahlis and i think it’s very funny how she would be good at cars and guns (because her parents would be right wing republicans) y’know the two things that action heroes are good at and how the only thing stopping her from being a kickass action hero is that she has the social skills/dispositions of a michael cera character

NASA Data Sonification: Black Hole Remix

In this sonification of Perseus. the sound waves astronomers previously identified were extracted and made audible for the first time. The sound waves were extracted outward from the center. (source)

y’know i was getting emotional about ahlis and her brother as the symbolic daughter of war and son of death but then i was hit with the realization that ahlis is a jock and her brother is a goth and that makes them so much funnier

his name is father oswin cluny (not his real name) a cleric of whatever the setting’s major deity is (allegedly). he’s in his mid 30s, has been to prison and has the tats to prove it, definitely not a bad man, per se, but he isn’t the most honest one either, and is still kind of grappling with the fact that the whole “priest” con he was running got out of hand when he actually ended up healing a kid using divine magic (which up until that point, he’d never been able to do)

i am regretfully pleased to inform you all that i have come up with yet another cleric pc concept
