Made In Abyss D&D

Made In Abyss D&D Made by u/macmillen, with help from u/zorousblade, and material from u/moonspod, who was nice enough to let me use some of the ideas from his guide, which is also worth checking out: http://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/ryam2XNhFOREWORD: Welcome to the Made in Abyss D&D guide. This should contain most all the information you need to play a detailed made in abyss themed D&D campaign, complete with the places, creatures, and world building. Most of the game will remain similar to the 5th edition, but some things have been changed and reworked, added, or removed, to make it more conducive to the theme. My goal in creating this was to balance the fun gameplay with accuracy and immersion, so don’t expect everything to be 100% accurate, otherwise it wouldn’t be very fun, but I did my best to keep things authentic. I also can’t promise everything will be 100% balanced either, most specifically with the creatures and artifacts, since those were made completely from scratch. I will play test and tweak things to get them as polished as I can, but you might need to balance things as you go, especially with the white whistles, which are all balanced to be level 7, but depending on where and when you use them, might need a health buff or nerf, otherwise they’ll be overpowered anywhere before the 7th layer. Leveling up will be based on layer. For example, you level up to 2 when you reach the 2nd layer. This helps balance things with each layer, takes some worry off the DM’s back, and creates a sense of accomplishment everytime the team hits those milestones. This all culminates into 7 layers/levels total

The 7th layer and the end of the story is going to be entirely up to you. It’s a tall order to create a satisfying ending for something of this magnitude, so it’s worth spending some time on. And just like regular D&D, it’s up to you how everything plays out. Does this take place before, after, or during the events of the main story? A new time requires new characters right? I have added several new white whistle characters, but it’s up to you who they are and what their story is, or perhaps you want to make new ones from scratch. I would recommend increasing the emphasis on the amount of people and interactions that occur in the abyss to make it more fun for the players, rather than mostly a bunch of combat. Explorers, bandits, soldiers, all kinds of people might be down in the abyss, so you have a lot of opportunities. Everything else you need to know should be either on this guide, or in the 5th edition guide. Have fun!

Ascending to the Morning Star - A beam of light shoots out from Bondrewd’s mask. Unlike conventional weapons, this one will always hit the single target Bondrewd focuses on. However due to the fact that the rays of light reflect, there is the chance for them to hit the person Bondrewd is focusing on, or anyone else within 30 feet in addition, more than once, but no modifiers are added to the attack roll, only the damage, so the attack roll is determined by the base roll number: 1-5 will count as only a single hit and do 1D12+6 radiant damage. 6-10 hits twice doing 2D12+6 radiant damage. 11-15 hits 3 times doing 3D12+6 radiant damage. 16-19 hits 4 times and does 4D12+6 radiant damage.

Players must make a DC 18 dex saving throw to avoid being trapped by far caress. If hit the player must make a strength check of 16+ to get out. Far caress has a 30 foot range so as long as it is deployed, the user cannot leave past 30 feet of its furthest extent without retracting far caress.

Ecosystems:

Orth:

Reference Pictures: Orth Pictures Orth Slums Pictures The town that surrounds the Abyss 1st Layer: Edge of the Abyss: Reference Pictures: 1st Layer Pictures ● Depth: 0~1350 meters. ● Strains of Ascent: Light Dizziness and Nausea ● Description: The first layer is the most shallow section of the abyss, right below the Town of Orth. A gondola was built between 50 and 580 meters to hasten the descent. The environment doesn't really change and wildlife consists of mostly harmless animals, though occasionally predators from the 2nd Layer might ascend in search of food. There aren't many treasures or relics either, but there is a considerable number of Praying Skeletons. 2nd Layer: Forest of Temptation:

Reference Pictures: 2nd Layer Pictures Inverted Forest Pictures ● Depth: 1350~2600 meters. ● Strains of Ascent: Heavy nausea, headache and numbness of limbs. ● Description: The Forest of Temptation is the first truly dangerous section of the abyss. The fauna and environment suddenly change, turning into a tropical rainforest with huge vegetation. It is filled with dangerous beasts and ascending becomes increasingly difficult, making it a place where only experienced explorers can delve into. If a red whistle delver somehow gets to the 2nd Layer, search parties are called off and it is treated as a suicide. On the deepest point from 2000 meters onwards, the habitat suddenly flips around and becomes the "Inverted Forest". Predators in the air become common and wind currents are very strong and unstable. It also gets colder and darker since it receives little light due to its inverted position. At the farthest from the center an Observation Camp was built to serve as a resting point for delvers. Currently the white whistle Ozen is using it as her base. *ranged attacks are rolled with disadvantage in the inverted forest due to the high winds*

3rd Layer: Great Fault: Reference Pictures: 3rd Layer Pictures ● Depth: 2600~7000 meters. ● Strains of Ascent: Vertigo combined with visual and auditory hallucinations. ● Description: The third layer consists only of a 4000 meters vertical cliff, making it a highly challenging area to cross. Countless methods have been attempted to cross it through the use of artifacts or differently crafted devices. Aerial predators are common, including Crimson Splitjaws.

4th Layer: The Cup of Giants: Reference Pictures: 4th Layer (upper) Pictures 4th Layer (lower) Pictures ● Depth: 7000~12000 meters. ● Strains of Ascent: Intense Full-body pain and hemorrhage from every single orifice of the body. Description: The 4th layer is the point where the curse of the abyss gets truly severe and could potentially kill a person if it's someone already wounded or weak. It is invaded by some absurdly overgrown vegetation, with 800-meter-tall plants shaped like cups. Plants have extremely fast growing rates on the 4th layer, making the layout of the place constantly changing. Because of this, it is impossible to make maps or a chart. The fully grown cups are filled with hot water in the top, but the ones that are not fully grown produce acid instead. The most dangerous beast is the Orbed Pierceri. While it is herbivorous it is highly defensive of what it considers its territory, and will attack anyone it sees nearby. In the middle region at the 9000 meters marks there is the famous Garden of the Flower of Resilience, an area filled with Eternal Fortunes, the trademark flower of the Abyss. The distinctive sight produced by the countless glowing flowers make of the garden one of the most beautiful landscapes of the Abyss. *perception checks are rolled with disadvantage near the goblets due to steam*
