Homebrew: Property, Components

Aka "Build Room-by-Room" or "Room Expansions"

 

Building Expansions

Any time after a structure is built, its owner can choose to furnish already available rooms or space within the structure or its grounds, selecting from the following list of expansions to add on to the structure. The owner then expends the related gold cost of the expansion to provide for materials and labor, and, after the construction time indicated elapses, the expansion is furnished.   Note that each expansion also carries a size cost in room points, and that your structure can never for any reason have more points used up by built expansions than are available under its listed total room points on the Buildable Structures table. Unless otherwise noted, any single expansion can only be built once within a structure.   As with the structures themselves, characters need not be present while expansions are being furnished, but if they are present and labor for the entire duration of an expansion's construction time, they can reduce the expansion's total cost by a percentage equal to half the character's level, rounded up. More than one character can secure this benefit for one expansion at the same time. Work can be done to furnish multiple expansions at the same time, but laboring characters can only gain a discount on one of them.   Daily Maintenance Cost Some expansions, typically those that require hirelings, also have an associated maintenance cost, which is an amount of currency added to the structure's Total Cost per Day and paid in place of those Hirelings, Soldiers, and Spellcasters wages. This cost must be paid daily along with the structure's Total Cost per Day, or the expansion does not operate. The Daily Maintenance Cost may be listed as optional, in which case choosing to pay it grants the expansion additional benefits.   Requirements Some rooms have requirements based on a structure's location, or available technology within a structure's setting. Your DM may rule, for example, that a setting without air travel would be impossible or impractical to construct an air docks in. Likewise, a setting without clockwork could find it difficult to justify the inclusion of a clock tower.   Players might be able to discover these technologies on their own, should the DM allow it, through adventuring to far-off lands and uncovering ancient secrets, or by way of diligent research. Can Also Be: Some expansions can be built in alternative forms, which are thematically similar. Choosing to build an expansion as one of its listed alternative forms does not change what the expansion functionally does, merely alters its general appearance.   Income Many expansions provide income, which can help offset the daily costs of running a stronghold. If available, income is detailed in an expansion's income section, which includes any mitigating factors that must be first addressed in order to receive that income.   All income is received together on a single day every 30 days, with the first such day starting 30 days after construction is completed on the structure the expansion is in. Income is usually listed as an average amount, and the dice roll formula that provides that amount, similar to how creature damage is listed. For example: 225 gp (or 30 gp × 3d4). This is intended to provide a streamlined result for quicker math, while still giving the DM the ability to vary a structure's income, for a more simulationist approach.

Components

Most components are available as either a room in a structure, or as free-standing structures, often with different associated mechanics. A component that can appear as both a room or a structure will list both a Room Cost and a Structure Cost. Components not available in both types will list only one of these costs.   Ancillary buildings, like a stable or coach house, can be built on a personal parcel, but most are suitable only for a landholder parcel. Some properties, particularly city-based land parcels, have no room for expansion, preventing the party from adding structure-only components.   The costs given here are for “simple” or “frontier” versions of components, those built with processed lumber, some stone and mortar, and various construction techniques that are somewhere between “crude” and “semi-refined.” For a higher quality building, add 50 gp to improve foundations, renovate existing edifices, allow precise stonework, and build with the smooth lines of expert construction.               Animal Pen A large pen made to securely hold willing or unwilling beasts. A small nearby larder ensures food will not be in short supply, should the creature find itself hungry. Size Cost: 1 or 2 room points Construction Cost: 2,500 or 5,000 gp Construction Time: 15 or 30 days Can Also Be: Aviary, barn, dragon trap, griffin roost, monster cage, petting zoo This room allows creatures to be held securely and safely, whether or not they desire to be, until you choose to release them. The creatures held here can be beasts, dragons, monstrosities, or other bestial creatures such as owlbears or displacer beasts. This room can hold five creatures sized Small, three sized Medium, or one sized Large. If built using two room points, this capacity is doubled, and the pens can also instead house one Huge creature. This room does not automatically include creatures, which must be acquired through other means. You can buy and construct this room multiple times.   FT&S p5   Arcanist’s Study Nothing in the multiverse is stranger or more dangerous than the study of a dyed-in-the-wool magic user. Oddities adorn every murky wooden shelf, from a relatively-usual human skull to a planar vortex in a jar or a preening pseudodragon atop a bookcase. The air reeks of spell components, and books of specific lore cover seemingly every surface. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Binding circle, ritual circle, mirror maze Spells of any school with the ritual tag can be cast as rituals in half the usual time here without expending any components that do not have an associated cost in gold. If a ritual has components with a gold cost, this cost is halved when the ritual is performed in this room. While here, the owners of this structure and their allies have advantage on all rolls required by rituals. Additionally, choose two schools of magic. While present within this room, spells in a chosen school cast by the owners of this structure and their allies have twice their normal duration, and half their normal materials cost (for materials with a gold cost). Arcana checks made here that deal with a chosen school of magic have advantage. This room can be built multiple times, and each time different schools must be chosen.   FT&S p5     Armory A stockpile of common weapons and armor, an armory provides defenses to the defenseless, as well as granting common people the ability to strike back and defend their home. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days When the structure is under attack, any hireling that is not a spellcaster or soldier and that the structure requires for maintenance can visit the armory and afterwards count as a guard (MM, p. 347), up to a maximum number of hirelings equal to 5 × your structure’s room points. Hirelings equipped in this way can also be used offensively rather than simply in defense of the structure. Doing so deprives a structure of its hireling staff, however, and removing more than a quarter of your structure’s hirelings from its grounds will cause any other benefits the structure provides to cease, as the hirelings left behind struggle to cover for those absent.   FT&S p5     Bank An enormous room filled with shining marble, brass, and heavily locked vaults, a bank does an excellent job of containing coinage and valuables, using money to make money. Size Cost: 2 room points Construction Cost: 5,000 gp Construction Time: 30 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 10 gp per day (optional) Can Also Be: Treasure hoard This room contains four 30-foot by 40-foot vaults, each with a 20-foot tall ceiling. The owners of this structure and their allies can stash any amount of gold or reasonably-sized treasure in one of the vaults, which requires a key to access (one key comes standard with each vault). Unguarded vaults can be broken into by making five successful DC 15 Dexterity (Thieves’ Tools) checks, each of which takes 10 minutes. The vault doors are a three-foot thick, 5-foot radius circle of steel by default, with an AC of 19 and 25 hit points. When you first build this room, or as a room modification at a later time, you can expend an additional 2,500 gp and 15 days of effort to build mithral doors (AC of 21, 50 hit points) for the vaults, or you can expend an additional 5,000 gp and 30 days of effort to build the vaults with adamantine doors (AC of 23, 100 hit points). Income. If the maintenance cost for this room is paid in order to staff this room with 5 skilled hirelings trained in either Insight or Investigation, they can be instructed to manage the currency stored within, investing it or using it to make favorable trades. If this is the case, roll 1d4 every 30 days. On a roll of 2-4, the room generates an income equal to 5% of the total currency stored there. On a roll of 1, however, the investments don’t pay off, and 5% of the currency stored within the room is lost.   FT&S p5     Baths Steam rises and settles over a series of intricate, beautifully tiled pools. The trickling of water echoes throughout, and soft lights refract off lightly perfumed waves, creating a most relaxing atmosphere for those within. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Festhall, sauna, sweat lodge Creatures that take a short rest within this room gain a number of temporary hit points equal to twice the structure’s total room points (maximum 30). These temporary hit points last until they are lost, or until the creature finishes a long rest. While a creature has these temporary hit points, it has advantage on saving throws against spells and effects that would cause it to be frightened or charmed.   FT&S p5         Armory A stockpile of common weapons and armor, an armory provides defenses to the defenseless, as well as granting common people the ability to strike back and defend their home. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days When the structure is under attack, any hireling that is not a spellcaster or soldier and that the structure requires for maintenance can visit the armory and afterwards count as a guard (MM, p. 347), up to a maximum number of hirelings equal to 5 × your structure’s room points. Hirelings equipped in this way can also be used offensively rather than simply in defense of the structure. Doing so deprives a structure of its hireling staff, however, and removing more than a quarter of your structure’s hirelings from its grounds will cause any other benefits the structure provides to cease, as the hirelings left behind struggle to cover for those absent.   FT&S p5

Growing Parcels

A parcel can grow in size and population, depending on the investments of time and wealth provided by the owners. A personal parcel can eventually become a landholder’s parcel. A landholder’s parcel can grow to swallow neighboring territory.   Most growth occurs organically over time. Residents have families, outsiders are drawn to the industry and available work, and the potential residents feel that their interests are safe in the care of the land’s owners.   Unless the players are actively trying to grow their land, taking substantial steps in that direction, the Dungeon Master should simply have growth occur at whatever pace serves the game’s story.   Some forms of growth require additional adjudication, particularly if the land parcel abuts another claimed parcel. This is common in cities, where buildings are built closely to one another.   Sometimes neighboring land must be purchased. In a feudal system, two barons might have a land war (or feud) to resettle a boundary line or petition the sovereign to make such a change official.   Players can also own Vehicles, like a Ship for water or air and use that for profit and or residence.

  City & WILD:  

Modular Structures

  THE FOLLOWING SECTION INCLUDES NEW RULES and details for building a structure which can be customized with several rooms and areas. These rules were created primarily for players who wants to build and customize a home base as they want, but they can be used by the Dungeon Master to create any kind of building, such as the local guildhall, a blacksmith, or a mansion where a vampire lord lives.  

Building a Structure

 

BUILDING A HOME BASE IS NOT MERELY ABOUT ERECTING walls and roofs; it’s about creating a focal point, a sanctuary that breathes life into your adventures. It’s where bonds strengthen, where strategies brew, and where legends are forged.   ~Therios Greenwind, The Warrior Chronicles

  A character can spend time between adventures building a structure. Before work can begin, the character must acquire a plot of land. If the estate lies within a kingdom or similar domain, the character must own a royal charter (a legal document granting permission to oversee the estate in the name of the kingdom), a land grant (a legal document granting custody of the land to the character for as long as he or she remains loyal to the crown), or a deed (a legal document that serves as proof of ownership). Land can also be acquired by inheritance or other means.   Although they can be bought, royal charters and land grants are usually given by the crown as a reward for faithful service, while deeds can be bought or inherited.  

Building Spaces(BS)

Whether the adventurers are granted with or buy a plot of land, it’s important to make sure it is large enough to fit all the rooms they want to build. A building space (BS) is the way to estimate every structure size and how much the plot of land will cost. Each building space cost 100 gp, and it is equivalent to a 20-foot-by20-foot room with a 10-foot-high ceiling. For building a structure, you must follow the next points.

• Any structure built using this guide is limited to no more than two stories high and a single underground level. If the players want to add additional floors (above or underground), they must pay an extra 50 gp for each building space outsidethese limits.
• Any building space built in any level higher than the ground level must have a building space built below. For building spaces built in the underground, they must have a building space above, unless it’s directly below the ground level.
• The Dungeon Master is who decides how many building spaces are available at ground level, the maximum height and depth the adventurers can build, and if the adventurers are allowed to buy or get additional building spaces at a ground level later.

   

Rooms and Building Time

After determining the size of the building, you can use some or all building spaces to buy rooms and other locations you can add to your structure. Each component uses a number of building spaces, and any room that uses multiple building spaces must have the building spaces next to each other (horizontally or vertically).   In most of the cases, building a structure takes one workweek per 2,500 gp of the total cost of the building spaces plus any room you buy (500 gp worth of advancement per day of building). This also applies when adding more building spaces or components to an already built a base. The Dungeon Master can decrease or increase the gold pieces per day to make the building time shorter or longer.  

Room Prerequisites

Some rooms will require to have hirelings and/or other rooms to function. All prerequisites must be met to be an active room or area or for being able to use the benefits it gives. If it requires another room, the level is the minimum you need to have to fulfill the prerequisite.  

Hirelings

If a room requires one or more hirelings to maintain the room up and running, each of these hirelings must be paid to retain their service and keeping the room active. Alternatively, a character can take the position used by a hireling, making the room active only when that character is in the base. To do so, the character must be proficient with the related skill, tool, or anything else that the Dungeon Master determines.   See: Homebrew: Staff & Hirelings for full rules.

Room List

The following section have an alphabetical list of all the rooms and other areas you can add to a structure.   Each one is divided between one to three different levels, which determines the size, cost, characteristics, and benefits, if any. It can also help to determine the quality of construction materials, furniture, and other distinctive elements that makes a room special.    

Structure Extras

In addition to any room a structure can have, there are some other components that can be useful to consider when building a bastion or base.  

Walls

Sometimes, builders construct walls after the structure is already in place, whether to guard against unwanted visitors or simply to add privacy. The wall sections are assumed to be 10 feet tall and 20 feet wide each. For towers, you can place a guard post above the walls and add a siege equipment, such as a ballista or a trebuchet.   See Homebrew: Property, Walls for more info.  

Siege Equipment

You can build some of the siege weapons you can find in the Chapter 8 of the Dungeon Master’s Guide in a structure walls and towers. Here are the estimated prices and building time for each.   See Homebrew: Equipment, Siege Weapons for more info.  

Item	Cost	Building Time
Ballista	1,000 gp	2 workweeks
Ballista bolt	10 gp	1 day
Cannon	2,000 gp	3 workweeks
Cannon ball	20 gp	1 day
Cauldron, suspended	1,000 gp	2 workweeks
Cauldron oil	10 gp	1 day
Mangonel	1,500 gp	2 workweeks

  Additionally, we are using the resources at Thieves Guild Strongholds to build and hire staff. If changes are made, I will put the notifications and what not here. If any contradiction occurs notify the DM. To make changes easy for this wiki, I will copy the current charts below and make any changes I want there...      

Premade Structures

    Interested in purchasing an existing stronghold, or building one from scratch?   This section provides a guideline that DMs can use to help a party with their stronghold needs. The DM can choose to build a new structure, using rooms and stronghold parts, or they can choose a preexisting template, structure or cluster of rooms (see the table below). In addition, you can find staff for your stronghold, their monthly wages and their appropriate equipment.   This page provides example stronghold structures, using a collection of sub-structures and rooms (or stronghold "parts"), grouped together and given a single price for your convenience. You can use these examples to quickly create a stronghold for use in your game.   Maintenance & Wages: For simplification (since D&D is more about adventuring, than management), it is best to keep expenses simple. Most DMs choose only use staff wages in monthly maintenance. And, if the player(s) decide to rent, adding in rental costs. However, some DMs may wish to add taxes for owned properties (recommended: 0.2% of the building cost per month; more in large cities and evil kingdoms). For businesses, a DM may wish to roll for business profits/loses every time the players return.   Building Materials: Most aboveground structures are built using wood, and underground rooms are built using hewn stone. You can choose to change the material using the dropdowns below (for a list of wall materials and their pricing, see our stronghold walls.   Adventure Hooks: Strongholds are great a source for adventuring ideas. Mansions can be raided, robbed or siezed by the ruling class. They can be overrun by monsters or vermin, or be inhabited by cultists or bandits while the adventurers are away. Businessness may need the adventurer's help to avoid calamity and ruin.

  † Monthly wages do not include staff gear (which must be purchased separately). Monthly wages do not include any business expenses or inventory as it is assumed that most businesses are self-sufficient. However, a DM may wish to roll for profits/losses for a business every so often.   Note: Building over 2 stories have additional costs, as described in the stronghold parts section. Some structures, such as the wizard tower and guard tower have additional fees for being 3 stories tall.

Room-by-Room

  This page is useful for building a stronghold room-by-room, or for adding rooms to an existing structure.   Below are the various rooms and components. The choice of components dictates the purpose of the stronghold, whether it's a palatial home, military fortress, or arcane nexus. Many of these components are individual rooms, but some may be combined to build larger structures (for example, the Basic Tavern is about 400 square feet and can seat around 15 people ... but two units can be combined to produce an 800 square foot tavern seating 30 people; and the tavern can be made more serviceable by adding a kitchen and additional storage area).   Walls: Structures above ground are constructed with wooden walls by default, at no extra cost. Below ground walls are made of hewn stone at no extra cost. If other materials are used, additional fees can be incurred. You can select alternative materials from the cost modifiers below. More wall details can be found on our walls page.   Build Time: Building a stronghold takes one week per 10,000 gp of total price (if materials and laborers are readily available). Optional Rule: For every 10% extra that is spent, it takes 10% less time to build, up to a maximum of a 70% "rush charge" to get the castle built in 30% of the usual time. The DM may rule that some strongholds shouldn't use this optional rule. For instance, if your stronghold price includes a large percentage of wondrous architecture, you might choose to construct such items separately.

  Basic units of measurement in DnD are based on creature size — a 5ft square can hold a Medium-sized creature. Below is a small chart showing basic units of measurement converted into square feet (with a square room's dimensions). Note: a 40'x40' room occupies the same square feet as a 20'x80' room, so a "square" doesn't need to be used when building.  

Square Feet	Square Room (ft)	Square Room (5ft squares)
400 sq. ft.	20' x 20'	4x4 5' squares
625 sq. ft.	25' x 25'	5x5 5' squares
900 sq. ft.	30' x 30'	6x6 5' squares
1,225 sq. ft.	35' x 35'	7x7 5' squares
1,600 sq. ft.	40' x 40'	8x8 5' squares

  |NTO: OLD [/spoiler]       Modifying your Rooms p26 Individual rooms can be built up, improved, and modified in a small variety of ways.   You can choose to purchase a modification from the list below for either a room expansion being built, or for one that has already been built. If the expansion is being built, the modification adds its construction time to the expansion's total construction time. If a modification is purchased for an existing expansion, the modification's building begins immediately, and the expansion does not provide a benefit until the modification is complete.   Some modifications have requirements, which the owners of the structure, or at least one of their allies within the structure, must be able to fulfill in order to build.

Edicts

Running a structures with 3 room points or greater might give its owners a certain amount of control over the local law of the land, particularly if the structure is the only or largest building in its general area. If your DM decides that owning such a structure grants you this authority, you can use that authority to issue one of the following edicts.   You can only have one edict issued for a structure at any time, and issuing a new edict overwrites any other local edicts currently in place. The owner of a structure must be within that structure to issue an edict for it. Only one structure has the power to issue an edict within a 5 mile radius, even if there are multiple structures within that area, and the effects of an edict are limited to this area.   An edict can only be issued once every 30 days, but its effects last as long as the structure it is based in has its full staff and is undamaged. All edicts have requirements, which must be met before the edict can be issued.  

List of Edicts

Arcane Trials

Requirements A nearby village or other sparsely populated area, at least 2 spellcaster hirelings of any type You dispatch spellcasters to determine who amongst the populace has the gift of magic. For the duration you can hire spellcaster hirelings from the population as if it was a specialized location. The maximum CR of spellcasters you can hire in this way is equal to the lowest CR of any of the spellcasters used for this edict's requirements.   Source: FT&S, page 33    

Festivities

Requirements A nearby village or other sparsely populated area, at least 3 skilled hirelings proficient in Performance or with musical instruments   Your structure hosts a seasonal faire, celebration, or carnival, designed to delight visitors and the local population. While this edict is active, your structure generates an additional income of 200 gp (or 1d4 × 80 gp) every 30 days.   Additionally, when rolling to determine the quality of merchants in the structure's area, roll twice and use the higher result.   Source: FT&S, page 33    

Magical Education

Requirements The lecture hall room expansion is built in the structure, at least 1 spellcaster hireling of CR 2 or greater   When choosing the Spell Lesson option in the lecture hall, you can choose for the lesson to teach a spell of 1st or 2nd level you select instead of a cantrip. This spell can only be learned by creatures with at least one level in a class that can learn written spells found in the world (such as a wizard), and that has access to at least one spell slot of a level necessary to cast the spell. Learning a spell in this way does not count against the number of lessons a creature can benefit from.   All other requirements for the lesson are as written.   Source: FT&S, page 33    

Martial Training

Requirements A nearby village or other sparcely populated area, at least 2 soldier hirelings of any type   You instruct your soldiers to train the populace in rudimentary self-defense. For the duration you can hire soldier hirelings from the population as if it was a specialized location. The maximum CR of soldiers you can hire in this way is equal to the lowest CR of any of the soldiers used for this edict's requirements.   Source: FT&S, page 33    

Proselytization

Requirements A nearby village or other sparsely populated area, the chapel room expansion is built in the structure, at least 1 spellcaster hireling of CR 2 or greater   When a chapel within the edict's area creates an income, you can choose for that income to be 650 gp (or 1d12 × 100 gp) instead of its normal value.   Additionally, any creature within this edict's radius that fights in the defense of the structure is considered to be affected by a casting of the shield of faith spell with an indefinite duration.   Source: FT&S, page 33    

Protection

Requirements A nearby village or other sparcsly populated area, at least one room expansion that attracts merchants, at least 5 soldier hirelings of any type   You collect taxes from the locals, promising protection with a military presence in their region. When you choose this edict, select one of the following taxes to institute, which carries with it the associated effects, and a potential income every 30 days.   Taxes

Tax	Income / 30 days	Effects
Minor	—	Soldier hirelings only require half their normal daily payment.
Moderate	202 gp (or 1d12 × 31 gp)	As above, but prices of all goods sold by merchants increase by 1/4.
Extreme	404 gp (or 2d12 × 31 gp)	As both above, but at the end of every 30 days, roll 1d20. On a result of 1, the structure is attacked by an uprising of locals with a total CR of the structure's room points + 1d4.

Right of Passage

Requirements A road, canal, or river nearby the structure in which trade takes place; at least one room expansion that attracts merchants; at least 3 soldier hirelings of any type   Merchants and travelers must pay coin for the right to use transportation near your structure. When you choose this edict, select one of the following tolls to institute, which carries with it the associated effects, and a listed income every 30 days.   Most merchants will do everything they can to avoid paying a pricey toll, and placing too exorbitant a toll near your structure will cause a reduction in the quality of your merchants.   Tolls

Toll	Income / 30 days	Effects
1 cp	252 gp (or 1d8 × 56 gp)	—
1 sp	364 gp (or 1d12 × 56 gp)	Roll twice for merchant quality at any structure in area, use lower result.
2 gp	588 gp (or 3d6 × 56 gp)	As above, but also reroll any result that would provide an excellent or legendary merchant..

Ritual Mysteries

Requirements A nearby village or other sparsely populated area, at least 1 spellcaster hireling of CR 1/4 or greater   A ritual cult of benevolent or malign nature thrives nearby. When a creature that is one of the owners of this structure or one of the owners' allies casts a ritual spell within the radius of this edict, that creature can choose to empower that ritual spell. Doing so requires being aided by at least two or more present and willing friendly creatures with either the Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature, one such creature and two cultist hirelings, or four cultist hirelings.   Empowering a ritual spell allows its caster to choose and apply an effect off of the following list to the ritual. The effects you can add to a ritual spell are as follows, and can only be each selected once for an individual ritual spell unless otherwise specified:   Additional Summons If the ritual spell would summon creatures that would not be expected to attack in combat (such as unseen servant or phantom steed), the spell then summons an additional 4 of these creatures. This does not function with find familiar.   Extra Duration The ritual spell has its duration time doubled.   Gold Value You reduce the required gold value of any reagents you use in the ritual by half.   Lower/Raise DC If the ritual spell requires a saving throw, you can choose to lower or raise the DC of that saving throw by 5. If you are able to choose multiple ritual effects, you can choose this effect multiple times.   No Concentration If the spell produced by the ritual would require concentration to continue functioning, it no longer has that requirement.     Source: FT&S, page 34

List of Components

     

Animal Pen

A large pen made to securely hold willing or unwilling beasts. A small nearby larder ensures food will not be in short supply, should the creature find itself hungry.   Size Cost: 1 or 2 room points Construction Cost: 2,500 or 5,000 gp Construction Time: 15 or 30 days Can Also Be: Aviary, barn, dragon trap, griffin roost, monster cage, petting zoo   This room allows creatures to be held securely and safely, whether or not they desire to be, until you choose to release them. The creatures held here can be beasts, dragons, monstrosities, or other bestial creatures such as owlbears or displacer beasts.   This room can hold five creatures sized Small, three sized Medium, or one sized Large. If built using two room points, this capacity is doubled, and the pens can also instead house one Huge creature.   This room does not automatically include creatures, which must be acquired through other means. You can buy and construct this room multiple times.   Arcanist’s Study Nothing in the multiverse is stranger or more dangerous than the study of a dyed-in-the-wool magic user. Oddities adorn every murky wooden shelf, from a relatively-usual human skull to a planar vortex in a jar or a preening pseudodragon atop a bookcase. The air reeks of spell components, and books of specific lore cover seemingly every surface. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Binding circle, ritual circle, mirror maze Spells of any school with the ritual tag can be cast as rituals in half the usual time here without expending any components that do not have an associated cost in gold. If a ritual has components with a gold cost, this cost is halved when the ritual is performed in this room. While here, the owners of this structure and their allies have advantage on all rolls required by rituals. Additionally, choose two schools of magic. While present within this room, spells in a chosen school cast by the owners of this structure and their allies have twice their normal duration, and half their normal materials cost (for materials with a gold cost). Arcana checks made here that deal with a chosen school of magic have advantage. This room can be built multiple times, and each time different schools must be chosen. Armory A stockpile of common weapons and armor, an armory provides defenses to the defenseless, as well as granting common people the ability to strike back and defend their home. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days When the structure is under attack, any hireling that is not a spellcaster or soldier and that the structure requires for maintenance can visit the armory and afterwards count as a guard (MM, p. 347), up to a maximum number of hirelings equal to 5 × your structure’s room points. Hirelings equipped in this way can also be used offensively rather than simply in defense of the structure. Doing so deprives a structure of its hireling staff, however, and removing more than a quarter of your structure’s hirelings from its grounds will cause any other benefits the structure provides to cease, as the hirelings left behind struggle to cover for those absent. Bank An enormous room filled with shining marble, brass, and heavily locked vaults, a bank does an excellent job of containing coinage and valuables, using money to make money. Size Cost: 2 room points Construction Cost: 5,000 gp Construction Time: 30 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 10 gp per day (optional) Can Also Be: Treasure hoard This room contains four 30-foot by 40-foot vaults, each with a 20-foot tall ceiling. The owners of this structure and their allies can stash any amount of gold or reasonably- sized treasure in one of the vaults, which requires a key to access (one key comes standard with each vault). Unguarded vaults can be broken into by making five successful DC 15 Dexterity (Thieves’ Tools) checks, each of which takes 10 minutes. The vault doors are a three-foot thick, 5-foot radius circle of steel by default, with an AC of 19 and 25 hit points. When you first build this room, or as a room modification at a later time, you can expend an additional 2,500 gp and 15 days of effort to build mithral doors (AC of 21, 50 hit points) for the vaults, or you can expend an additional 5,000 gp and 30 days of effort to build the vaults with adamantine doors (AC of 23, 100 hit points). Income. If the maintenance cost for this room is paid in order to staff this room with 5 skilled hirelings trained in either Insight or Investigation, they can be instructed to manage the currency stored within, investing it or using it to make favorable trades. If this is the case, roll 1d4 every 30 days. On a roll of 2-4, the room generates an income equal to 5% of the total currency stored there. On a roll of 1, however, the investments don’t pay off, and 5% of the currency stored within the room is lost. Baths Steam rises and settles over a series of intricate, beautifully tiled pools. The trickling of water echoes throughout, and soft lights refract off lightly perfumed waves, creating a most relaxing atmosphere for those within. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Festhall, sauna, sweat lodge Creatures that take a short rest within this room gain a number of temporary hit points equal to twice the structure’s total room points (maximum 30). These temporary hit points last until they are lost, or until the creature finishes a long rest. While a creature has these temporary hit points, it has advantage on saving throws against spells and effects that would cause it to be frightened or charmed.   12 Battle Ring A dusty ring of honor stands, lined with racks of weapons, as a test of mettle for those who enter. Win or lose, sparring teaches everyone a little something. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Arena A creature that spends a short rest sparring or training here becomes conditioned for battle, which lasts until its next long rest. When a creature that is conditioned for battle rolls initiative, it has advantage on the roll, and on the first attack roll it makes on its first turn in combat. Boutique Fresh flowers adorn windowsills and an intricate hand-carved sign swings gently in the breeze outside this shop. The wares here are often of fine quality, and both locals and visiting travelers prefer to do their business here. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Boat house, brightsmith, cafe, quartermaster, smuggler’s den, tinker’s shop When you first build this room, choose one merchant from the Merchants table in the Traders and Merchants section. This merchant is in permanent residence at your structure, though the quality of their goods changes every 30 days. If the merchant’s goods are of a quality less than medium, you can reroll any number of times until you receive a result of medium or greater quality. You can change the merchant in residence here at a later time by paying 1,000 gp to renovate the boutique. This process leaves the boutique unavailable for 30 days, after which a new merchant is selected, as they were when this room was first created. This room can be built multiple times. Income. If your structure is located in an area that can reasonably expect trade, this room generates an income of 225 gp (or 3d4 × 30 gp) every 30 days. Caravansary A small roadside house for travellers, filled with the smells of cooked food and pack animals. Outside, visiting merchants bark their wares, enticing locals with colorful goods from distant lands. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Roll four times on the Merchants table in the Traders and Merchants section. These merchants are present at this location for 30 days, after which they depart and four new randomly-rolled merchants arrive, continuing this pattern every 30 days. This room can be built multiple times. Income. If your structure is located in an area that can reasonably expect trade, this room generates an income of 220 gp (or 2d10 × 20 gp) every 30 days. Catacombs Deep, dark, and dreary, this sodden collection of stone cellars and hidden pathways holds many forgotten secrets. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Bone pile, crypt, tombs Dead bodies can be interred here, and suffer no degradation for the purposes of necromancy spells. When this room is first built, it comes with five skeletal servants, each one counting as an unpaid, unskilled hireling for Jean-Léon Gérôme For the victors, there is glory to be won in a battle ring   13 any structure or room requirements. Each skeleton that fills a position that would otherwise belong to an unskilled hireling reduces the structure’s Total Cost per Day by 2 sp. These skeleton servants have an AC of 10, 1 hit point, and a Strength of 8, are undead instead of humanoid, cannot speak, and cannot attack (unless equipped by the Armory and doing so in defense of your structure). The servants do as commanded by the owners of the structure and their allies, and stand motionless in place if commands conflict, waiting until new commands are given. These skeletal servants can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wine. If a skeletal servant leaves the structure it was created in for more than 7 consecutive days, it disintegrates into dust. Every 30 days on the advent of a full moon (or other celestial event of equal significance), a 1 hour ritual can be performed by any character or hireling that can cast at least one necromancy spell. When the ritual is complete, it raises an additional five skeletal servants (if there are an adequate number of dead Medium or Small humanoid bodies entombed in this room) that join the others in the service of your structure. A structure can have a maximum number of functioning skeletal servants equal to 20 × the structure’s total room points. Chapel A small chapel containing religious imagery, seating, iconography, and proper accoutrement, alongside a modest library of holy texts and literature. The air hums with the resonance of hymns, and the comforting soul of the divine. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 2 gp (optional) Can Also Be: Dark altar, spirit lodge The structure this room is in is affected by a version of the hallow spell with a permanent duration, the details of which are decided upon when the construction of this room is completed. The dispel magic spell can end this effect only if cast as an 7th-level spell or higher. If the room and structure still stand, the structure will again be affected by hallow after 30 days, its details again decided by the owners of the structure. The hallow spell can be cast within this room, and if it is, it instead changes the effects of the hallow spell on the entire structure. Religion checks made here that deal with the lore surrounding the deity, philosophy, or religion the chapel is associated with have advantage. Income. If the maintenance cost for this room is paid in order to staff the room with a skilled hireling proficient in religion, parishioners will visit this room and provide tithes. In which case, this room will generate an income from those tithes of 140 gp (or 4d6 × 10 gp) every 30 days.     14 Dining Hall A large room complete with long tables, chairs, and adjacent kitchen, lit by ornate candelabras and chandeliers. The smell of well-cooked meals long passed lingers on in this place, welcoming guests and residents with the promise of a full, satisfied belly. Size Cost: 2 room points Construction Cost: 5,000 gp Construction Time: 30 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 7 gp Can Also Be: Ball room, mess hall This room must be staffed by at least 5 unskilled hirelings and 3 skilled hirelings proficient with cook’s utensils to be functional, paid for by the maintenance cost. Once every 30 days, the owners of this structure can decide to hold a lavish banquet in this room. This banquet takes 1 hour to prepare, and 1 hour to consume. The effects of this lavish banquet are identical to the effects of the heroes’ feast spell, save that it is able to feed twice as many creatures. Creatures only gain these benefits if they eat the food at the banquet itself, and this food loses its potency after 24 hours. Mundane banquets can also be held in this room. If the owners of this structure decide to hold a mundane banquet, it takes 1 hour to prepare, and creates enough food to feed up to 100 creatures. Docks, Air The wind whistles by the tall spindly silhouette of the docking tower, and the ballasts belonging to the anchored ships rustle against one another as the ships themselves creak and moan. The heavy, cold stone of the tower is as sure an anchor to a sky ship as a hunk of curved iron, and though the ships may sway, their mooring here remains safe. Size Cost: 2 room points Construction Cost: 10,000 gp Construction Time: 30 days Requirements: Knowledge of air travel technology, a structure with at least 3 total room points A number of airships equal to your structure’s total room points can moor safely at this location, which is likely a spire or free-floating dock. Mechanical elevators and cranes are also present to raise and lower cargo. Roll once on the Merchants table in the Traders and Merchants section. This merchant is present for 30 days, after which they depart and a new randomly-rolled merchant arrives, continuing this pattern every 30 days. Income. This room generates an income of 165 gp (or 2d10 × 15 gp) every 30 days. Mark Tedin Few mag ica l advancements ca n match the utility of air travel   15 Docks, Planar A rippling hole in the fabric of space and time is enough to send shivers down the spine of even the most experienced wizard. Yet, here one exists, stable and large enough for one of several exotic and otherworldly skiffs and ships to make their way through. Size Cost: 2 room points Construction Cost: 15,000 gp Construction Time: 30 days Requirements: Knowledge of planar travel technology, a structure with at least 3 total room points A number of spelljammers or similar dimensional ships equal to your structure’s total room points can moor safely at this location, which is likely an immense hangar or free-floating dock built into a stable portal to another realm. Roll once on the Merchants table in the Traders and Merchants section. This merchant is present for 30 days, after which they depart and a newly rolled merchant arrives, continuing this pattern every 30 days. Income. This room generates an income of 180 gp (or 2d8 × 20 gp) in strange currency (such as electrum or fragments of astral diamonds) every 30 days. Docks, Water The waves lap lazily against wooden pilings and the bells of tall ships clang idly. The air is entwined with the briny smell of fresh fish and the loud conversation of burly dockworkers as travellers come and go from this port of call. Size Cost: 2 room points Construction Cost: 10,000 gp Construction Time: 30 days Requirements: Structure must be adjacent to water A number of ships equal to twice your structure’s total room points may lay anchor safely at this room, which is likely a harbor or waterfront. Roll twice on the Merchants table in the Traders and Merchants section. These merchants are present for 30 days, after which they depart and two new randomly-rolled merchants arrive, continuing this pattern every 30 days. Income. This room generates an income of 275 gp (or 2d10 × 25 gp) every 30 days. Ben Wootten Docks on the water are ga teways for trade and adventure alike   16 Escape Tunnel Deep beneath the earth, a tunnel lined in ancient masonry runs from your structure to some safe and innocuous point in the outside world. Should the worse come to pass, you at least have a way out. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Escape portal A secret tunnel runs from a point in your structure you choose to another point outside within a mile, also of your choosing. This room automatically benefits from the Hidden improvement.       Graveyard Rows of rough-hewn gravestones rise from the ground like jagged teeth, punctuated with the occasional stately monument denoting the death of someone of station. It is quiet here, but the silent air runs thick with the dark energy of death. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Mausoleum, necromancer’s laboratory Dead bodies can be interred here, and suffer no degradation for the purposes of resurrection or necromancy spells. Additionally, there are considered to be an unlimited number of corpses for the purposes of necromancy here. When cast in this room by the owners of this structure or their allies, the spells animate dead and create undead each create an additional undead creature of the lowest possible CR. Additionally, Arcana or Religion checks made here that deal with necromancy or the dead have advantage. Tithi Luadthong A graveyard makes for a tranqul resting plac e, though not when there are necromancers about   17 Hospital This place of healing is as comfortable and inviting as one can make it, but it cannot entirely escape the ominous shroud of disease and death. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 2 gp (optional) Can Also Be: Clinic, medicine hut A creature that finishes a short or long rest here has its hit point maximum increased by an amount equal to the structure’s total room points, and is healed up to its hit point maximum. This increase lasts until the creature finishes another long rest. Additionally, if the creature is suffering from any diseases or the poisoned condition, the creature can make a Constitution saving throw with advantage at the end of any rest it takes here, ending the disease or condition on a success. The DC for this saving throw is 15, unless the disease or condition would have a DC that is lower. If the maintenance cost for this room is paid to staff it with a skilled hireling proficient in Medicine that acts as a doctor, a creature that takes a rest here uses the maximum possible value for any hit dice it expends to heal, instead of rolling, until it finishes its next long rest. Invocation Chamber The thrum of ancient and powerful eldritch magic permeates this room, its vibrations apparent to all that enter. At its heart sits an immense crystal the size of a man, glowing with an unearthly light, as visions and revelations stir just beneath its surface. Size Cost: 2 room points Construction Cost: 5,000 gp Construction Time: 30 days Once each day, a creature that possesses the Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature, has access to 5th level spell spots, and is either one of the owners of this structure or one of their allies, can use this room to invoke a powerful entity, beseeching it for aid or knowledge. That creature then casts either contact other plane or scrying without expending a spell slot, even if the creature does not know the spell it has chosen. When cast in this way, the creature has advantage on the Intelligence saving throw required by contact other plane, and a creature targeted by the scrying spell has disadvantage on its Wisdom saving throw. Once every 30 days, a creature that meets the above requirements and can cast at least one 6th level spell can cast the planar ally spell within this room, even if the creature does not know the spell, without expending spell slots or uses of class features. A planar ally conjured within this room cannot leave it for 8 hours without permission from the creature that summoned it, and is unable to attack or bring harm to its summoner while its summoner remains within this room.     18 Lecture Halls These hallowed halls of learning are just as likely to guide the young to greatness as to play host to any number of formative shenanigans. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 2 gp, 4 gp, or 6 gp Can Also Be: Schoolhouse, training grounds Classes are held in this room, instructing those within on any number of topics. This room can be built multiple times. The maintenance cost for this room hires a number of skilled hirelings proficient with any set of tools or in any Wisdom or Intelligence skill, who act as teachers. Choose the amount to pay; the maintenance cost hires 1 teacher for 2 gp, 2 teachers for 4 gp, or 3 teachers for 6 gp. Select a number of types of lessons to be taught in this room from the following list, equal to the number of teachers working in this room, as well as the specifics of what each lesson teaches. A single type of lesson can be chosen multiple times, but each must have a different subject (for example, “Language Lesson” can be chosen twice, but a different language must be selected for each). Language Lesson. Teaches a language you choose. Skill Lesson. Teaches proficiency in a skill which the hireling teacher is proficient in. Spell Lesson. Teaches a cantrip of your choice to a creature that can cast at least one spell with a spell level. The cantrip must be on the spell list of a class the creature belongs to, and doesn’t count against the number of cantrips the creature can know. Tool Lesson. Teaches proficiency with a set of tools, a musical instrument, or a gaming set with which the hireling teacher is proficient. Weapon Lesson. Teaches proficiency with a weapon you choose. Each day, a creature in the structure can attend one lesson of its choice, which lasts for 6 hours that day. Once the creature has attended the class for a number of days equal to 30 – twice its Intelligence modifier, the creature is considered to have learned the lesson’s subject matter. If an unskilled hireling completes a lesson, it becomes a skilled hireling (complete with an increase in its wage). A creature can only benefit from a number of lessons equal to its proficiency bonus, and does not absorb any lessons from this room (or any other instance of this room in this or other structures) beyond that limit. Income. If this room accepts students and charges tuition, this room generates an income of 110 gp (or 1d10 × 20 gp) with 1 teacher, 220 gp (or 2d10 × 20 gp) with 2 teachers, or 330 gp (or 3d10 × 20 gp) with 3 teachers. Library Stacks of books piled high to the ceiling, light filtering in from dusty windows, the library is a sanctum of knowledge and research. Material on any subject matter may be found here, if one has the time to search for it. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 2 gp (optional) Can Also Be: Archives, scriptorium When a creature takes at least 1 hour to peruse this room, it can choose to make an Intelligence or Wisdom based skill check to find specific knowledge within this room. Even if the creature does not (or cannot) succeed on this roll, it can typically uncover a hint as to where else in the world this information may be found. If the maintenance cost for this room is paid to hire a skilled hireling proficient in at least one Intelligence based skill as a librarian, a creature requires only 1 minute instead of 1 hour to peruse the room, and the check the creature makes has advantage. Lighthouse A burning light that shines out like a brilliant star along the coastline, a lighthouse is a welcome sight for mariners and travelers well-versed in the perils of the sea. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 2 gp (optional) Requirements: Structure must be adjacent to water Can Also Be: Beacon Ships traveling on water that are allied with the owners of this structure and are within a distance of this structure equal to 2 days of normal travel are able to navigate more accurately with the presence of a lighthouse. Within this distance, these ships can double their travel pace while not in combat without worrying about the dangers the sea presents. If the maintenance cost is paid to hire a skilled hireling proficient with navigator’s tools or vehicles (water) as a lighthouse keeper, the crews of any ships friendly to the owners of this structure have advantage on checks required by Activities While Traveling or Hazards while they can see this lighthouse. Elena   19       Magical Enchanter Delicate strands of the arcane are woven together here, empowering simple items to become magical wonders. Size Cost: 2 room points Construction Cost: 5,000 gp Construction Time: 30 days Can Also Be: Altar of blessings A creature with spell slots can use this room to make any magic item that is not a potion or artifact, in half the normal time, and with half the normal materials cost. If the item would be an enchanted mundane object (such as a +1 longsword, for example), the mundane object must be created first, and its value can be deducted from the cost of the enchantment (before dividing it in half with the magical enchanter). In all other ways, use the existing rules (DMG, p. 128-129; XGE, p. 128-129) for crafting magic items. Additionally, once each day a creature can use this room and 1 minute of effort to apply its choice of up to two of the effects available to the artificer’s Magical Tinkering feature (TCE, p. 11), to a tiny nonmagical object. Doing so does not require the use of tools, and in all ways other than those listed here, this functions identically to the rules of the Magical Tinkering feature. A number of objects can be affected in this way equal to three times the structure’s total room points, and affecting an object beyond this amount causes the first affected object to lose the effects it has been granted in this way. Asanee Lodgings provide a saf e haven for travelers both adventurous and mundane   20 Market Stalls Festive flags span across this open and vivacious courtyard while the sounds of animated haggling and the subtle clink of currency changing hands punctuate the air. Business is good enough here to warrant a permanent residence from merchants seeking small fortunes. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Shops Choose three merchants from the Merchants table in the Traders and Merchants section. These merchants are in permanent residence at your structure, though the quality of their goods changes every 30 days. This room can be built multiple times. Income. If your structure is located in an area that can reasonably expect trade, this room generates an income of 210 gp (or 2d6 × 30 gp) every 30 days.   Maze The high walls of this place arc up nearly out of sight, threatening to blot out the sun and sky. Creatures that find themselves wandering these labyrinthine corridors often feel a sense of hopelessness and impending doom, though whether this is enchantment or a product of the architecture itself, none can say. Size Cost: 2 room points Construction Cost: 5,000 gp Construction Time: 30 days Requirements: A structure with at least 3 total room points When you create this room, it replaces the entrance to your structure with an elaborate maze which creatures without a flying speed must make their way through in order to enter your structure. You can choose to include a hidden passage that bypasses the maze at no additional cost, which follows the rules for the Secret Passage room modification (detailed in a later section). The maze cannot be the subject of any other room modifications. Creatures attempting to navigate the maze must make a number of successful Intelligence (Investigation) or Wisdom (Survival) checks (their choice) equal to half the structure’s total room points (round up), the DC of which is equal to 10 + half the structure’s total room points (round up). Each of these checks takes 1 hour to complete, whether or not it is successful. If creatures are traveling through the maze as a group, one member of their group can make a single check for all the creatures in the group, gaining advantage if it is aided by the Help action from another one of these creatures with proficiency in a relevant skill. The owners of this structure, their allies, creatures familiar with the maze, or any creature with a climb speed can make these checks with advantage. If a creature succeeds on these checks, it finds itself at the entrance of the structure. If a creature fails 3 of these checks in a row, it becomes lost, resetting its number of successful checks to 0. Each 10 foot segment of the walls of this maze has an AC of 17; 27 hit points; a height of 40 feet, and immunity to all damage except bludgeoning, slashing, acid, fire, force, thunder, necrotic, and damage from a pick. The walls ignore any damage done to them from any source that does not instantly reduce them to 0 hit points or below with a single damage roll. In place of a check to navigate the maze, a creature can choose to attempt to damage the maze’s walls, using its Attack action or a spell to attempt to inflict the necessary damage. Successfully destroying a section of walls counts as a successful check, while failing to destroy a section of wall counts as a failed check. Destroyed walls magically repair themselves after 30 days. If this structure also contains an Animal Pens or Jails room, the captive creatures contained within them can be released into the maze. While these captive creatures are within the maze, both the Animal Pens and Jails still count as if they were occupied, and the captive creatures are unable to escape the maze. If any creatures attempting to navigate the maze fail two checks in a row, they encounter the captive creatures, which could result in combat depending on the inclinations of the creatures involved.   Mill The grinding and churning of the mill beats a constant tempo of progress and production. A mill is the heart of civilization, carrying lifeblood to all its other aspects. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Requirements: One raw resource (wood, metal, grain, fish, wool, gems, or similar) harvested and under the control of the owner of this structure or their allies, within 5 miles of the structure. Daily Maintenance Cost: 5 gp Can Also Be: Cannery, loom, lumber mill, mint, water wheel, windmill A room for the refinement of resources, in whatever form that might take. This room can be built multiple times. Income. If this room is fully staffed by at least 5 unskilled hirelings and at least 2 skilled hirelings proficient in a relevant set of artisan’s tools (paid for by the maintenance cost), it can produce refined materials from available raw resources. If these raw resources are supplied, the mill can generate salable materials worth 550 gp (or 1d10 × 100 gp) every 30 days. These materials can be sold to interested buyers, consumed in place of hirelings’ wages if they are food (thus reducing your structure’s Total Cost per Day), or used in place of gold cost for crafting, if applicable.   21 Rookery The cawing of crows and ravens fills the air here, creating a dissonant chorus in this place of communication. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 2 gp (optional) This room houses a number of crows, ravens, pigeons, owls, hawks, or similar birds equal to your structure’s total room points. While in this room, a creature can attach a message to one of these birds and give it instructions for delivery. This acts identically to a casting of the animal messenger spell, save that the message is written, not spoken, can be up to 50 words, and is delivered in the form of a tiny scroll. If you pay the maintenance cost to staff this room with a skilled hireling proficient in Animal Handling who acts as a master of ravens, the room can instead hold a number of birds equal to twice the structure’s total room points, and the duration of the room’s effect that mimics animal messenger is 48 hours instead of 24 hours. Portal Conflux The cobblestones laid into the floor of this chamber rattle with the ebb and flow of the arcane energy pouring through the wide portal mouths that encircle the room’s perimeter. Through the surface of each, a visitor can view new lands, cities, and even alien worlds. Size Cost: 2 room points Construction Cost: 15,000 gp Construction Time: 30 days Requirements: A structure with at least 3 total room points, a creature capable of casting 7th-level spells When you create this room, it contains a number of portals equal to half this structure’s total room points (round up). Each of these portals follows the rules of the gate spell, excepting that they allow for two-way travel, do not require spell slots or a materials cost, do not require concentration, cannot forcibly draw creatures through them, and have an indefinite duration. As with the gate spell, deities and other planar rulers can deny a portal’s creation in their realm or presence. These portals can only be destroyed with a casting of dispel magic at 7th-level or higher, or with the destruction of this room or the structure itself. If the room and structure still stand, a destroyed portal will be reformed after 30 days, leading to a location chosen by the owners of this structure. This room can be built multiple times. Safe Room Tucked between the walls of this structure, this room appears on no maps. While its very existence appears forgotten, it contains everything necessary to shelter a number of creatures from harm indefinitely. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Requirements: A structure with at least 3 total room points Away from sight in an obscure corner of the structure, this room is a shelter that the owners of this structure and their allies can escape to in times of need. When you build this room, it automatically benefits from the Hidden room modification (detailed later) with no additional cost. This room is constructed from walls made of mithral with an AC of 21; 40 hit points; immunity to all damage except acid, fire, force, and necrotic; and that ignore any damage done to them from any one source that would not instantly reduce them to 0 hit points or below. Entering this room, even via a secret passage, places you outside these mithral walls, which must be broken down or opened with a command word (known to the owners of the structure) to themselves be entered. All the amenities of life are contained within these mithral walls, allowing up to 4 creatures a limitless supply of pure water, preserved food, and clean air, along with bedding, waste disposal, and supplies to live a modest lifestyle without any cost. More creatures can be housed inside the safe room, but the lifestyle quality decreases with more creatures sheltered within the room. This room can support up to 6 creatures with a poor lifestyle, 8 creatures with a squalid lifestyle, or 10 creatures with a wretched lifestyle. The room does not contain enough food, water, or air to support more than 10 creatures, and attempting to shelter more than 10 creatures within the room subjects each creature in the room to a level of exhaustion for each day it spends within the room. Pyramis Intelligent and social, a crow waits to deliver messag es from a rookery   22 Sewers Full of waste, refuse, and the occasional crocodile, the sewers do an excellent job keeping filth under the streets, rather than on top of them. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Creatures that dwell within a structure containing this room lead healthier lives and live in a much more sanitary environment. As such, the owners of this structure, their allies, and any other creatures that live in this structure have resistance to poison damage while within 5 miles of the structure, and while within this radius have advantage on all saving throws to resist becoming infected with disease or against spells or effects that would inflict the poisoned condition. Occasionally, strange items wash up in the sewers. Every 30 days, roll 1d6. On a roll of 1 or 2, a random item from the Trinkets table (PHB, p. 160-161) is found, intact and (mostly) clean. Shadow Vault Not all things were meant for all eyes. This room contains a complex working of arcane runes and foci, humming with a distant power, that project a constant illusion hiding your structure from view. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days The area around your structure, out to a radius of 300 feet beyond your structure’s walls, is affected by a special hallucinatory terrain spell, the details of which you determine when you first build this room. This spell is also able to change the appearance of manufactured structures within its area, but not creatures or equipment. Thus, a tower could appear to be an enormous tree, a cottage could be a boulder, or a college could be blanketed in an endless fog. At any time, the owners of this structure or a friendly creature that they designate can change the nature of this illusion by entering the room and using an action to do so, determining whatever new attributes of the illusion apply. The illusion can be temporarily disabled with such an action, as well, or re-enabled with a similar action at a later time. Shrine A humble construction, but nevertheless quite holy. It is laden with icons, censers, and a simple offering bowl waiting for the gifts of the faithful. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Profane idol, spirit totem A creature visiting this shrine can present it with a nonmagical object as an offering, which is then placed in a position of import and destroyed, usually by supernaturally powerful fire. The creature then gains a blessing, based on the monetary worth of the destroyed object, as detailed on the table below. A creature can only gain one such blessing every 24 hours. Shr ine Blessings Object Worth Blessing 5 gp or less Targeted by a casting of guidance with a duration of 24 hours. 6-10 gp As above, except the d4 can also be applied to an attack or saving throw, instead of an ability check. 10-25 gp As above, except the spell grants a total of 2d4, each die of which must be applied to a separate roll. After the last d4 is applied, the spell ends. 26-50 gp As above, except any amount of d4s can be applied to the same roll. 51-100 gp As above, except the spell grants a total of 3d4 instead of 2d4. 101-200 gp As above, except the spell grants 3d6 instead of 3d4. 201-400 gp As above, except the spell grants 3d8 instead of 3d6. 401-700 gp As above, except the spell grants 3d10 instead of 3d8. 701-1,000 gp As above, except the spell grants 3d12 instead of 3d10. 1,001+ gp As above, except any attack that hits while its roll benefited from at least one of these dice becomes a critical hit. Dean Spencer A lonesome shrine awaits the off erings of travelers   23 Smithy The twang-clink of metal on metal, the roar of the fire, and the hiss of steam create a symphony of construction that fills this room. Newly-forged weapons and tools line the walls, glittering with firelight from the forge and the promise of practical use. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 2 gp (optional) Can Also Be: Crafts workshop, forge This room is considered to always have the following sets of tools available: carpenter’s tools, jeweler’s tools, leatherworker’s tools, smith’s tools, tinker’s tools, and woodcarver’s tools. These tools are always present in this room, and individuals that are proficient with these tools can create items in half the normal time and with half the crafting cost while working in this room, using the existing crafting downtime activity rules (PHB, p. 187; XGE, p. 128). This room can be built multiple times. If you pay the maintenance cost to hire a skilled hireling proficient with a relevant type of artisan’s tools, choose a merchant of one of the following types: furniture and interior decor, jewelry and gems, knick-knacks, leatherworking, mechanical contraptions, medium and heavy armor, tools, vehicles and transportation, or weapons. The quality of this merchant’s goods changes every 30 days, but it can never be less than poor, and is rerolled if it would ever be lower than this quality. Income. Additionally, if the maintenance cost is paid, this room generates an income of 198 gp (or 1d10 × 36 gp) every 30 days.     24 Stables The sounds and smells of horses and stranger animals still animate these cold stone stables. Straw matting, water, and feed are available, providing mounts the shelter and relative comfort they need to properly recuperate. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 3 gp (optional) Can Also Be: Carriage house, coach house, wheelhouse Your structure gains the ability to house and support horses or other Large or Medium beasts trained to be used as mounts, and can hold four of these creatures for each unit of your structure’s maximum room points. Mounts that receive a long rest within this room have their movement speed increased by 10 feet until their next long rest. This stable does not come equipped with mounts, and mounts must be acquired by other means. If the maintenance cost is paid in order to hire a skilled hireling proficient in Animal Handling to act as a stable master, as well as 5 unskilled hirelings to act as stablehands, this structure is considered to be the permanent home of a vehicles and transportation merchant. The quality of this merchant’s goods changes every 30 days, but it can never be less than poor, and is rerolled if it would ever be lower than this quality. If you are using the Traders and Merchants supplement, this merchant does not have access to any water or air transportation options. Income. Additionally, if the maintenance cost is paid, this room generates an income of 225 gp (or 2d8 × 25 gp) every 30 days. Tavern Downtime and drink are essential to adventurers and garrisoned soldiers alike. A tavern always carries within it the often sweet fragrance of what it brews, from plum brandy to apple cider to hoppy ale to refined wine. Typically, taverns find themselves filled with the heat and crackling staccato of a log fire, the honeyed lyrics of bard song, and words whispered between furtive folk. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 2 gp or 4 gp Can Also Be: Brewery, public house, speakeasy For those that live in and nearby the structure, the tavern often makes life much more enjoyable. The owners of this structure add 1d4 to any Charisma or Insight checks they make involving those who regularly use the tavern, which is generally expected to be almost all of those that live within the structure, as well as an assortment of those that live nearby. When taking the carousing downtime activity (XGE, p. 126-128) at a tavern you own, you have advantage on the Charisma (Persuasion) check you make at the end of it, as well as adding the 1d4 to that check. Additionally, when you take the gambling downtime activity (XGE, p. 130-131) at a tavern you own, you can reroll your choice of a single one of the checks the activity would have you make, as well as adding the 1d4 to each of the checks. Running a tavern requires a tavernkeep, a skilled hireling trained in Persuasion whose salary is covered by the 2 gp maintenance cost. As an option, you can increase the maintenance cost to 4 gp to hire an additional skilled hireling proficient with brewer’s supplies to act as a brewer. If the tavern has both a tavernkeep and a brewer, this structure is considered to be the permanent home of an alcohol and refreshment merchant. The quality of this merchant’s goods changes every 30 days, but it can never be less than poor, and is rerolled if it would ever be lower than this quality. Income. If the tavern has only a tavernkeep, it generates an income of 210 gp (or 2d6 × 30 gp) every 30 days. If the tavern has both a tavernkeep and a brewer, the high-quality alcohol it produces increases the income to 315 gp (or 3d6 × 30 gp) every 30 days. Theater An enormous hall complete with seating, a large stage, and excellent acoustics. This room is well equipped for plays, concerts, and speeches, making them feel that much more true-to-life. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 10 gp (optional) Having a theater in a structure gives the owners of the structure a space to perform shows, or to allow shows to Dmitriy A tavern with an attac hed stables   25 be performed by traveling musicians and acting troupes. Alternatively, the owners of this structure can hire an acting troupe to remain in residence. Regardless, any creature that spends a short rest in this room watching a performance gains a point of inspiration. Income. When shows are put on by wandering musicians and actors, or the owners themselves, the theater generates an income of 176 gp (or 2d10 × 16 gp) every 30 days. However, the maintenance cost can be paid in order to retain an acting troupe in residence, which hires 10 unskilled hirelings and 4 skilled hirelings proficient in Deception, Performance, or Persuasion, or with the disguise kit, carpenter’s tools, painter’s supplies, or a musical instrument. When an acting troupe is in residence, the theater instead produces an income of 605 gp (or 2d10 × 55 gp) every 30 days.     Trophy Room This collection of tokens taken from past triumphs is certainly impressive, if a little grisly. The decor of this room treads the fine line between awe-inspiring and terrifying. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Museum The trophies or objects in this room are centered around a specific type of creature other than humanoids (such as beasts or fiends), or one race of humanoids (such as elves or halflings). After a creature takes a short rest in this room, it gains the following benefits concerning the type of creature or race of humanoids the room is centered on: Advantage on Survival checks made to track these creatures. Advantage on Intelligence and Wisdom checks made concerning these creatures. Advantage on initiative checks when it can see at least one of these creatures, and that creature is hostile. Deals an additional 1d4 damage on attacks it makes against these creatures. These benefits last until the creature finishes a long rest. War Room Improperly planned, war can be a nightmare. With adequate planning, supply lines, and intelligence, though, warfare becomes a much more feasible enterprise. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Can Also Be: Bureaucrat’s office While in this structure or fighting in its defense within 5 miles of it, any guard and other hireling using the guard stat block (MM, p. 347) friendly to the owners of this structure can instead uses the statistics of a scout (MM, p. 349), but still only require its regular daily payment. Additionally, all soldier hirelings of any type friendly to the owners of this structure have advantage on initiative rolls while within 5 miles of this structure. Whenever such a hireling rolls initiative while within this radius, it gains temporary hit points equal to the total room points of this structure (maximum 10) that last for up to 1 minute or until they are lost.  

Modifying Your Rooms

  26 Modifying Your Rooms Individual room expansions can be built up, improved, and modified in a small variety of ways. You can choose to purchase a modification from the list below for either a room expansion being built, or for one that has already been built. If the expansion is being built, the modification adds its construction time to the expansion’s total construction time. If a modification is purchased for an existing expansion, the modification’s building begins immediately, and the expansion does not provide a benefit until the modification is complete. Some modifications have requirements, which the owners of the structure, or at least one of their allies within the structure, must be able to fulfill in order to build. Room Expansion Modification s Room Expansion Construction Cost Construction Time Built Multiple Times (same room) Extra-dimensional 7,500 gp 30 days No Hidden 2,500 gp 15 days No Secret passage 2,500 gp 15 days Yes Teleportation rune 3,500 gp 25 days No Trapped Varies Varies Yes Warded or spell-bound Varies 7 days Yes Extra-Dimensional The air inside the room seems somehow thicker, slightly more viscous. Outside shuttered windows, stars and comets cascade by, shining like a thousand diamonds against a swirling ethereal sky. Construction Cost: 7,500 gp Construction Time: 30 days Requirements: A creature that can cast at least one 7th-level spell This room’s door is actually a portal to a pocket dimension, containing the room itself. The laws of time and gravity in the expansion are yours to set, within limit, only once when you first modify the expansion. Gravity can be half to twice as strong, and time can move at halfpace to double time, relative to the outside. The room also has the immunity to scrying, tracking, and similar effects that being located on a different plane provides, and is considered to be infinitely far away from the rest of its structure for the purposes of spells and effects (though not for the benefits the structure itself and its other expansions provide). Hidden There’s no telling what secrets a cleverly-designed structure might hide. Behind tapestries, false book-cases, or hidden switches lurk chambers tucked away where none may find them, save those that know the secret to accessing them. Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days This modification is added onto any room to hide it from view. The owners of the structure and any allies they designate know the secret to enter the hidden room. Another creature attempting to enter the room must first make an Intelligence (Investigation) check to discover the presence of a hidden chamber, followed by a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to uncover how to enter, once they are aware of its presence. The DC of both of these checks is equal to 10 + half the structure’s total room points (round up). Secret Passage An airy draft billows behind the walls of this room, traveling unseen from one room to the next. An astute few know the secret to accessing this passage, which remains hidden to all but the most observant. Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Requirements: At least two completed room expansions, a structure with at least 3 total room points This modification is built in two rooms simultaneously, though it only requires one construction cost to be paid. A secret passage makes a hidden connection between these two rooms, behind walls, under floors, and generally out of view. Similar to a hidden room, the owners of the structure and any allies they designate know how to enter this secret passage from either of its entrances, and can move freely between these two rooms. All others must first make an Intelligence (Investigation) check to discover the presence of a secret passage, followed by a Dexterity (Sleight of Hand) check to uncover how to enter, once they are aware of it. The DC of both of these checks is equal to 10 + half the structure’s total room points (round up). You can built multiple secret passages into one room, but each passage must connect to a different room. Graf ik-Art   27 Teleportation Rune A small rune resembling a gate is carved into a flagstone, support beam, or the underside of a table here. For those select few who know its true meaning, the rune is as functional as a doorway while being significantly more subtle. Construction Cost: 3,500 gp Construction Time: 25 days Requirements: A structure with at least 3 total room points, a creature that can cast at least one 5th-level spell When this rune is first created, choose a command word. Any creature that touches this rune and speaks its command word can instantly teleport to any other room of that creature’s choice in the same structure that also contains a copy of this rune built as a modification in that room. All such runes within one structure share the same command word, and if only a single one of these runes exists within a structure, it does nothing until at least one other rune is built in a different room. Trapped This room hides a deadly secret, and only you know where it might be found. Construction Cost: Varies (see below) Construction Time: Varies (see below) Requirements: Varies (see below; none if none are listed) This room contains one of the following traps listed on the Trap Construction table, which you choose when you build this modification. This modification can be built multiple times in a single room for multiple traps, and the same trap can be selected multiple times. Each time you build this room, work with your DM to determine an appropriate location for the trap, which can change its overall effectiveness.

Construction Cost: Varies (see below) Construction Time: 7 days Requirements: A creature that can cast the listed spell. This room is constantly under the effect of one of the following spells, the details of which you decide when you build this modification and which can only be altered later by rebuilding this modification in the same room and paying the cost a second time. The spell is considered to have a duration of permanent, and can be dispelled with a casting of dispel magic of 7th-level or greater. If a spell is dispelled in this way, it reasserts itself after 30 days. These spells are always considered to fill the entire room and are cast at their lowest level possible, with the owners of the structure and those they designate considered to be the spell’s casters. Saves made against spells cast with this modification are made against a DC of 10 + half the structure’s total room points (round up). You can build this modification in a single room multiple times, choosing a different spell for each time you construct it. Spell-Bound Spells Spell Cost Details Alarm 1,000 gp — Animate objects 3,000 gp This room is haunted by animated objects equal to one casting of this spell at its lowest level, which will automatically attack creatures hostile to the owners of this structure after they spend at least 1 minute in this room. The objects are capable of sensing the intentions of such creatures. Antimagic field 4,500 gp — Circle of power 3.000 gp — Dawn (XGE) 2,000 gp Only affects creatures that would be damaged by natural sunlight. Magic circle 2,000 gp — Reverse gravity 4,000 gp — Unseen servant 500 gp* Conjuring one unseen servant costs 500 gp. This cost can be paid up to 10 times when buying this modification, to cause the room to hold up to 10 unseen servants who respond to the wishes of the owner and their allies. Each unseen servant can replace an unskilled hireling, lowering your structure’s Total Cost per Day by 2 sp for each servant. Zone of truth 1,500 gp When you build this modification, choose whether it affects all creatures, only the owners and their allies, or only the enemies of the owners. Tithi Luadthong A reverse gravity spell in a room ca n flip a creature’s expectations Other Spells for Str uct ure s Many other spells that already exist in the Player’s Handbook are ideal for use with player-owned structures. The following is a list of spells to consider when building and maintaining a structure: Arcane lock, forbiddance, glyph of warding, guards and wards, hallow, mirage arcane, Mordenkainen’s faithful hound, Mordenkainen’s private sanctum, programmed illusion, symbol, and teleportation circle are all spells that contribute well to an owned structure in different ways. In addition, a spell that must be cast every day for a year to take permanent effect only needs to be cast every day for a 30 days within a structure that you own.   Hirelings, Soldiers, Spellcasters                                    

Workshops & Laboratories

          Siege Workshop A tidy, if eclectic, workshop full of all manner of gears, wheels, and mechanical elements. The hiss of smelted iron mingles with the back-and-forth saw rhythm of precision woodcutting, as weapons of war are churned out for your structure’s defense.

Hopefully, some time in uncomfortable conditions will show them the error of their ways. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 2 gp (optional) Can Also Be: Prison, sacrifice pit, torture chamber You have cells available to securely hold a number of humanoids up to five times your structure’s total room points. Prisoners may only escape if they are unguarded, and either have access to this room’s key (five of which come with this room), or by using thieves’ tools to make four successful DC 15 Dexterity checks. This room can be built multiple times. This room is equipped for non-magical humanoids, and will not thwart magical attempts at escape unless the appropriate wards under the Warded improvement are purchased for this room. If the maintenance cost for this room is paid in order to staff the room with a skilled hireling proficient in Intimidation who acts as a warden, every 7 days you can choose for a single creature imprisoned within the jails for that entire duration to make a Charisma or Wisdom saving throw (its choice) against a DC of 15. On a failure, that creature truthfully answers up to 1d4 questions the hireling asks it, as long as the creature and the hireling share at least one language.

Common Area / Parlor

        Courtyard ** Farm ** Garden       Garden The smell of green, growing life fills the air here. Lush vines laden with savory tomatoes grow alongside mandrake root, ephedra, and even more esoteric herbs. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Daily Maintenance Cost: 4 gp (optional) Can Also Be: Druidic grove, greenhouse, poisoner’s grotto Contains an assortment of herbs and grown vegetables. This room can be built multiple times. Income. Every 30 days, the garden grows an amount of herbs equal in worth to 225 gp (or 1d4 × 90 gp). A creature proficient in Nature or with the herbalism kit can harvest these herbs with 8 hours of effort. Once harvested, the herbs can be sold for their worth in currency, or used as materials to craft any item (within reason), mundane or magical, that could be created with alchemist’s supplies, brewer’s supplies, cook’s utensils, or the poisoner’s kit. Typically this would include any drinkable items, non-meat edible items, poisons, liquids, and magic items in the potion category, though your DM may rule that certain potions or poisons are unable to be brewed with herbs from the garden. Use the existing crafting rules (PHB, p. 187; DMG, p. 128-129; XGE, p. 128-130) for this purpose. If you pay the maintenance cost to hire a staff of two skilled hirelings either proficient in Nature or with the herbalist’s kit to act as gardeners, the garden instead produces herbs worth 450 gp (or 2d4 × 90 gp) every 30 days.   Topiary Garden The wind whistles through this verdant garden, rustling the leaves in the large shaped hedges that make up this place. Though it is peaceful, those that enter here can’t help but shake the feeling that they are being watched. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Requirements: A structure with at least 3 total room points This room is populated with a number of awakened shrubs (MM, p. 317) equal to five times your structure’s total room points, each one counting as an unpaid, unskilled hireling for any structure or room requirements. Each shrub that fills a position that would otherwise belong to an unskilled hireling reduces the structure’s Total Cost per Day by 2 sp. The shrubs do as commanded by the owners of the structure and their allies, and stand motionless in place if commands conflict, waiting until new commands are given. These shrubs can perform simple tasks that a human servant could do, such as fetching things, cleaning, mending, folding clothes, lighting fires, serving food, and pouring wine. If a shrub leaves the structure it was created in for more than 7 consecutive days, it roots in place, becoming a mundane un-awakened shrub. Additionally, these shrubs can be ordered to combine, forming larger topiary creatures more capable of combat. Five shrubs can combine into a single entity, which uses the statistics of an awakened tree (MM, p. 317), and follows any orders from the owners of this structure and their allies. If this awakened tree is reduced to 0 hit points and dies, so do all the shrubs that make up its body. This tree can be ordered to split apart at any time by the owners of this structure or one of their allies. If it does and is missing hit points, one of the shrubs that makes up the tree dies for every 12 hit points the tree is missing. While formed into a tree, the constituent shrubs are no longer able to replace hirelings within the structure. Shrubs can also be ordered to form a tree and attack automatically when they see unknown intruders, or specific creatures or types of creatures designated by the owners of this structure or their allies. Any dead shrubs regrow after 30 days, up to the maximum initially present when this room was first constructed.   Clock tower | nto   Clock Tower Rising high above a central point and easily visible to all, the stylized yet simple face of this enormous clock hides a complex assembly of gigantic gears, all turning in unison with an expertly synchronized motion. Size Cost: 1 room point Construction Cost: 2,500 gp Construction Time: 15 days Requirements: Knowledge of clockwork technology, a structure with at least 6 total room points The presence of a clock tower greatly increases the efficiency of your workforce and thus your entire structure, requiring you to spend less on maintenance and wages to achieve the same effect. Reduce the Total Cost per Day of the structure by 10 gp.
