D&D 5E Ideas For a World of Islands? (+thread)

[Eltab]

I like the navigation idea. Might also include ability to hide while only lightly obscured by snow, or hide from creatures who are partially blinded by snow glare.

Mask of the (Frozen) Wild?

Mask of the (Frozen) Wild?

I was more thinking like the Svirfneblin's Stone Camouflage, but yeah that. lol

 

[Cap'n Kobold]

Okay, coatls.

Underused celestials that I'd love to use more in a world like this. Also other weird celestials.

Any ideas?

Snakes are already excellent swimmers. Remove or reduce the wings and give them a swim speed and they make good oceanic celestials.

Guardians and caretakers of Lost Islands?

Coatls ave a fairly nurturing skillset. Maybe when some gods need something done, they do not send a host of angels. Rather they send a couatl tasked with gathering a group of mortals and guiding them to achieve it. Some of the legendary tales and heroes of many cultures arise from those chosen by a couatl, and the challenges and rewards of their quest.

Yuan-ti purebloods reflavored as coatl blessed humanoids?

Like Eberron's Shulassakar?

Exactly!

And I love the idea of Coatls as the historic Gandalf/Nick Fury figures who “put together a team” to take care of soemthing.
