Electricity Sense. Shocker lizards automatically detect any electrical discharges within 100 feet. This includes any lightning damage dealt within the area.

Shocking Synergy. Whenever a shocker lizard deals lightning damage, it deals 1 extra point of lightning damage for each other shocker lizard within 20 feet of it, to a maximum of 5 extra points of lightning damage.

Actions

Bite. Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit, reach 5 ft., one target. Hit: 4 (1d4+2) piercing damage.

Shock. The shocker lizard shocks one creature within 5 feet of it. The target must make a DC 10 + # of shocker lizards Constitution saving throw, taking 2d8 lightning damage on a failed save, or half as much damage on a successful one. On a failed save, the creature is also stunned until the end of its next turn.

 

These small bluish creatures hunt in packs, though they can sometimes be found alone. They stand about a foot tall, weighing in at around 25 pounds. Shocker lizards can be very aggressive when hungry for food. They rarely bite until they have subdued an opponent with their shock ability, using their electrical powers to compensate for their small size.

Silverlight Dagger   Weapon (dagger), common  This weapon is considered to have the silvered property.  As a bonus action, you can command the blade of this dagger to shed silvery light, creating bright light in a 20-foot radius and dim light for an additional 20 feet. Also, as a bonus action you can extinguish this light.  Even without the light effect active, the blade of the dagger always seems to glint in in whatever light is present.

I had made this page a couple of years ago when I started the Campaign of the Lost but never really updated it because I hadn't the extra free time then. Campaign of the Lost at Obsidian Portal I'm also using the free service, which means I'm severely limited in my uploads. So here's some art assets I'm posting here to link to there. A map of the Dust Plains region. An illustration of the Universe. A little muck monster. Sand Sleeper springing to feed. Scrapdrone, repair robot More stuff to come...

Battlefield Combat

Ever wanted to clash armies in game? It's not something I would have recommended. I usually run story-based games where the battlefield is better left in the background.  However, I have, at least once, been persuaded to move D&D into the realm of wargaming. We were about 15th level in a 3.5 campaign and events kept spiraling into war.  It became inescapable and everyone agreed we needed someway to resolve some battles.  The players needed to have a stake in it, and had to be decided in-game.  Well, that's what we all decided anyway.  There's as many ways of handling big story elements as there are big story elements. I took a couple of weeks to come up with a workable solution for moving units in combat.  My method of resolving this was to treat a unit as it were an individual character.  I'd probably come up with a different method in 5e.  I might be tempted to use swarm rules... have a swarm of cavalry, for instance. Anyway.  This is my vision of Battlefi
