DM-Nastics #117: Dash of This, Pinch of That

I was watching Snow White with my daughters last night and wrote down this sweet little recipe:
Mummy Dust to make old
Black of Night to shroud clothes
Hag's Cackle to age voice
Scream of Fright to whiten hair
A blast of wind to fan it
A thunderbolt to mix it

Rolling!
16-Pegasus Feather
3-Pixie Wings
2-Weapon

Faeflight Arrows are fletched with a pegasus feather and two pixie wings and when arranged correctly and carefully constructed gain powers of supernatural flight.

Double the range of a bow when using Faeflight Arrows. The arrow is all but invisible when in flight and gains +2 to hit and +2 damage.

If I remember from the episode, it's an additional spell component that increases the power of a spell or changes its effect. Maybe useful for a single spell, or possibly a list of spells it can have a similar effect on.

I rolled roper tendril & armour.

Going to make 2 versions - simple and complex. A bonus legendary version would combine both.

All versions of this armour appear as +2 leather armour with a distinctive grey brown stone colouration.

Simple one - Roper = Adhesion. Be the grappler king!

On speaking the command word this grey brown roper leather armour can exude a powerful glue like coating. Any successful melee weapon attacker must, after inflicting damage, make a DC 15 strength save or their weapon becomes stuck to the armour. If the melee weapon is a fist or other body part then the attacker is restrained. If more than 2 large, 3 normal or 5 small weapons become adhered in this way then the wearer maker their own weapon attacks at disadvantage. This reflects the fact that they now have a bunch of weapons stuck to them. A second command word causes the coating to vanish and any adhered weapons to fall to the ground. Initiating and ending this effect requires a bonus action.

Complex one - Roper = Tendrils. Badass AoE controller type vibe.

This set of roper leather armour comes with a pair of bracers each etched with the shape of two entwined roper tendrils. If the wearers hands are empty they can speak the command word and two tendrils burst from each of the bracers. These tendrils act as per MM roper tendrils and have the following characteristics:

• Grasping Tendrils. The armour can have a maximum of 4 tendrils at a time. Each tendril can be attacked (AC 20; 10 hit points; immunity to poison and psychic damage). Destroying a tendril deals no damage to the wearer, which can extrude a replacement tendril on its next turn as a bonus action. A tendril can also be broken if a creature takes an action and succeeds on a DC 15 Strength check against it.
  
  
• Tendril: Melee Weapon Attack: +7 to hit, reach 50 ft., one creature. Hit: Either 1d4+2 bludgeoning damage or The target is grappled (escape DC 15). Until the grapple ends, the target is restrained and has disadvantage on Strength checks and Strength saving throws, and the roper can't use the same tendril on another target. 
  
  
• Multiattack: The wearer can make one attack per tendril per round.
  
  
• Reel. The wearer pulls each creature grappled by it up to 25 feet straight toward it.
  
  
• Note: If a hand is grasping a weapon or other object then that bracer cannot extrude tentacles. One weapon = 2 tendrils of other hand. Two weapons  = no tendrils. (That being said, battleaxe and double tendril dwarf barbarian ain't a bad compromise)

Bonus: The legendary version can do both adhesion and tendril extrusion PLUS spider climb. Be the Doc Ock of Undermountain with your very own set of Legendary Roper Tendril Armour!

• Spider Climb. If all 4 tendrils are free then wearer can climb difficult surfaces, including upside down on ceilings, without needing to make an ability check. 4 tendrils are required for movement but only 2 are required to remain in place. So you can use 4 to climb up to ceiling, hang from 2, attack with 2.

Enjoy =]

Been listening for a while, but this is my first time participating in a DM-Nastics on here. Let's see....

d20: 18- Roper Tendril
d6: 3- Armor

Ensnaring Armor (any heavy), rare (requires attunement)

This armor has three rope-like images embossed on its front and an equal number of charges. (See Regaining Charges below for more). Each time a charge is used, one of the images vanishes from the armor. 

While wearing and attuned to this armor, as an action, you can use a charge to extend a tendril from the armor to a creature within 30' of you that is no more than 1 size category larger than you. Make a melee attack roll using your Strength modifier and proficiency bonus. On a miss, the tendril vanishes and the charge is expended. On a hit, the target is grappled. Until the grapple ends, the target is restrained. To escape the grapple, the target must make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity (Acrobatics) check opposed by your Strength (Athletics) check. When a creature is first grappled by a tendril, you may choose to pull the target up to 15' closer to you. If this movement brings the target within melee range of you, you may use your bonus action to make one melee attack against the target. On each of your subsequent turns, you may choose to pull the target up to an additional 15' toward you as a bonus action. You may also use a bonus action to dismiss the tendril, freeing any grappled creatures. When the grapple ends, whether by the target escaping or the grappler dismissing the tendril, the charge is expended. Charges expended in any of the ways listed above are not considered "destroyed" and are regained as described in Regaining Charges below.

A tendril may be attacked directly. Each tendril has an AC of 20, 10 hit points, and immunity to poison and psychic damage. If a tendril is destroyed, it will not reappear on the armor as described in the Regaining Charges section below and the maximum number of charges the armor holds is reduced by 1. Destroyed tendrils may only be replaced by harvesting actual roper tendrils and re-enchanting the armor, a process that a creature attuned to the armor can complete with 1 day of work per tendril. If all three tendrils are destroyed, leaving the armor with no remaining tendrils or charges, an additional 3 days of enchanting must take place to restore the armor's base magic. This additional enchanting requires the armor to be submerged in the blood of a roper for the duration.

Regaining Charges. Each day at midnight, the armor regains 1d3 charges. If any tendrils have been destroyed, the number of charges cannot exceed the resulting new maximum. When charges are regained, a corresponding number of tendrils reappear on the front of the armor. 

I rolled and got Deva Feather and Gorgon Hoof.

Boots of Balance
With these boots, the wearer ignores all difficult terrain and cannot be staggered or pushed. Additionally, if the wearer moves 15 feet in a straight line and then attacks, the target must make a strength saving through DC 15 or be knocked prone. 

Welcome, and thanks for joining us in the gym. I love the idea of displaying the remaining charges. I assume you intended for the tendril to also vanish if the grapple is broken, but not result in a reduction in the number of maximum charges. It's so cool how the maximum can be reduced and laboriously restored.
