I keep finding weird errors/design choices. Like the fact that wand sheaths will share an attunement slot with their contents, but armblades will not.

Make the populace superstitious of mages & magic. ‘Druids on the farm? That’s how you get werewolves!” “You couldn’t give away a magic-made weapon in this town. Folks say the blade will turn in your hand and kill you if it sees moonlight.” A lot of those crazed high level caster villains...

His other magic secret is Counterspell.

The bard at my table has used his Pegasus, Pony Soprano, to great effect fighting giants and rocs.

Marie Kondo’s holy symbol A question for the peanut gallery: I’m using Marie Kondo (of the Netflix cleaning show) as a deity in a one-shot full of characters based on long running jokes in our group. So, Konmari grants the cleric domains of Life and Order, and the paladin Oath of the...

Where did the party encounter these ghosts? Were they immediately hostile? Why is this location haunted?
