Weekly Drop 021 - Storm & Weather (Patreon)

What happens when the elements take form? Some are little more than sparks of elemental energy, while others are forces of nature powerful enough to reshape the world around them. This week, we're stepping into a world where wind, lightning, and decay aren't just phenomena, but living forces with minds, motives, and a will of their own. And not all of them are particularly happy to have you around. 🌪️

• Monsters (with variants): Voltling (CR 1/4), Rotting Fog (CR 3), Cyclone Elemental (CR 18)

• Item: Stormrider's Mantle - a mantle that allows for control over the wind (common → rare)

• Spell: Mist Doppelganger- a spell to hide among duplicates and obscure the battlefield (level 2 conjuration)

• NPC: Professor Elsin Vey - an eccentric gnome that is fascinated by weather and its phenomenas

• Encounter: The Wind That Carries Bones (APL 3) - A creature the size of a natural catastrophe is slowly approaching an unaware village

I am torn between highlighting the Cyclone Elemental and the encounter this week, because both play with the same idea: what happens when a creature becomes so massive that it stops feeling like something you simply fight? Yes, you can fight the cyclone elemental, but let's see how your players do that at lower level..... So, yeah, sometimes the right answer isn't figuring out how to kill it, but figuring out how to survive being in their presence at all.
