[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6688893, member: 20323"] [MENTION=78325]Snoring Rock[/MENTION] If it's more variety to scrolls that you're looking to adapt for your 5e game, you don't have to look hard. The Basic D&D Rules Cyclopedia had all kinds of scrolls in it: [B]Scrolls of Communication:[/B] what's written on one appears on the other. [B]Scroll of Creation:[/B] draw an object on the scroll to create it for 24 hours. [B]Cursed Scroll:[/B] you get fubarred! [B]Scroll of Equipment:[/B] six item names on this scroll, say on to summon that item. [B]Scroll of Illumination:[/B] light it on fire to make a reusable super-torch. [B]Treasure Map:[/B] possibly mundane, possibly only readable with [I]comprehend languages.[/I] [B]Scroll of Mapping:[/B] records a map of the dungeon as you walk. probably has another name already in 5e. [B]Scroll of Portals:[/B] allows you to invoke a [I]passwall[/I] type effect. [B]Scroll of Questioning:[/B] allows you to ask 3 questions of an inanimate object and it will answer. [B]Scroll of Seeing:[/B] acts as your personal portrait artist / court room illustrator. [B]Scroll of Shelter:[/B] if hung from the wall, the room depicted on it may be entered. [B]Scroll of Spell Catching:[/B] can be used to counter a spell and steal it onto the scroll. [B]Scroll of Trapping:[/B] create a trap. boom. [B]Scroll of Truth:[/B] ask a question of a creature and its true answer appears written on the scroll, regardless of what it says. I can see why several of these weren't included in 5e - either due to design reasons, or because they've since been subsumed by spells - but still plenty of ideas for you to adapt! [/QUOTE]
