D&D 5E Rime of the Frostmaiden Previews Include a Scroll of Tarrasque Summoning

Some D&D designers and freelancers have been sharing previews of what's inside Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden. Take a look!

When a wizard puts their brain inside a helmless horror.

A ring of warmth.

And this last item... perhaps the less said the better? Ouch!

Where?


EDIT: Nevermind. When I first saw the post, none of the embedded images loaded. Still would be nice to have links to the sources.

That Ring of Warmth looks snuggly.

That's not your daddy's "wizard puts his brain in a suit of armor to protect it."

I first thought, wow, a Tarrasque but then I read "...hostile to all creatures ...." and tbh. I like that kind of player agency.

So basically the player gets a one shot nuclear bomb, but is strongly advised to stay out of the impact zone. It is the players choice, whether he drops that on Waterdeep, Luskan or the Frostgiant Lair.

Yea I love it. And I am tempted o provide a cursed version of it, a ring of snuggly critters.

The ring first appears to be and functions like a ring of warmth until you first make camp. Then your camp is swarmed by camprats (See Greyhawk MM)
who gnaw at everything and run of with items they can carry, be it your food rations, your water skins, your tent , your boots, your sleeping bag and your firewood.

To attack one of these animals a player of good or neutral alignment first has to pass a CHA save at -5 with disadvantage, because they look so cute. This save has to repeated for each attack.

I have to ask: surely this is a typo?

A helpless helmless helmed horror, perhaps.

The forum doesn't have autocorrect. Your browser or device might, though. In this case it was Safari wot did it. And yes, it's 'helmless'.
