Faction Boons
1st Level Boon; The Law of Equivalent Exchange
Your journey into the discipline of alchemy begins with its first and most immutable truth: to gain something, something of equal value must be lost. This is the world’s one true law, binding all things in balance. As your understanding deepens, you begin to perceive the fabric of the world not as fixed, but as something that—through sacrifice—can be reshaped. You gain proficiency in Alchemy Supplies.

In addition, you learn about your factions specialty: Fairy Tale Mutagens. These augment both spiritual and physical aspects of your being. Starting out, you can concoct an amount Fairy Tale Mutagens equal to your proficiency bonus each short or long rest. And you know the formulas of Fairy Tale Mutagens equal to double your proficiency bonus. However you only start out with knowing the Lesser Fairy Tale Mutagens, as your body needs to build up a tolerance to the whimsy nature of these Mutagens.

The list of Fairy Tale Mutagens can be found here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/155jN89qmOq5NfPdd5HhSlc89sW6xsQmkCVqFVFnxFiw/edit?usp=sharing

As a bonus action, you consume a mutagen, whose effects and side effects last until you finish a short or long rest unless otherwise specified. While one or more mutagens are affecting you, you can use an action to focus and flush all mutagens from your system, ending their effects and side effects.

Mutagens are designed for the specific biology of the character who concocted them, and your mutagens have no effect on other creatures. They are also unstable by nature, losing their potency over time and becoming inert if not used before you finish your next short or long rest.

3rd Level Boon; Coal to Gold
Your body has begun to adapt to the strange and whimsical nature of fairy tale alchemy. The constant exposure to mutagenic compounds has refined your tolerance, allowing you to harness more potent concoctions. You may now craft and consume Moderate Fairy Tale Mutagens in addition to your existing options. In addition, you gain immunity to poison damage and the poisoned condition.

6th Level Boon; Becoming an Alchemical Knight
Your blood has grown accustomed to the chaos of your mutagens, no longer rejecting their adverse effects but bending them to your will. As a bonus action, you can suppress the negative side effect of one Fairy Tale Mutagen currently affecting you for 1 minute. Once you use this feature, you can’t do so again until you finish a long rest.

Alternatively, you may use this feature again before finishing a long rest, but doing so causes you to gain one level of exhaustion each time you do.

Additionally, your alchemical expertise deepens. You gain expertise with Alchemist’s Supplies, and you may now craft and consume Greater Fairy Tale Mutagens in addition to your existing options. When you prepare your Fairy Tale Mutagens, you may choose to forgo crafting one or more of them (up to half your proficiency bonus, rounded down) to instead brew potions of up to Rare rarity. These potions can be consumed by other creatures but become inert if not used by the end of your next short or long rest. However your craft is still not perfected, and any creature who drinks one of your crafted potions will gain one level of exhaustion after a minute.

10th Level Boon; To Gain Is To Sacrifice
Through relentless study and countless experiments, you’ve uncovered truths buried deep within alchemical lore—tales so ingrained, you speak them as though they were your own. You can now craft and consume Major Fairy Tale Mutagens, expanding your arsenal of transformation. Additionally, you can brew potions of up to Very Rare rarity.

Known Mutagens
=
Lesser Fairy Tale Mutagens
=
The Blind Prince [Prepared]
You gain resistance to bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, as your body endures pain like a fabled monarch who ruled without sight.

However, your vision dims to a foggy blur. You can only see up to 5 feet around you, and anything beyond that is considered heavily obscured.
-
Moderate Fairy Tale Mutagens
=
The Sorcerers Apprentice
Flickering sparks of borrowed genius ignite within you. Your hands tremble with untamed potential, and the air dances with static when you move. Once per turn when you cast a cantrip, you can cast it twice (targeting the same or a different creature), using the same action.

However, the chaotic forces you’ve tapped into are volatile. At the start of each of your turns, you will trigger a Wild Magic Surge and you are unable to concentrate on spells.
-
The Green Knight [Prepared]
Your flesh takes on the hue and resilience of verdant steel, echoing the chivalric endurance of the fabled knight who could not be felled. Your Armor Class increases by +4.

However, your body becomes unnaturally heavy, burdened by your newfound durability. Your carrying capacity is halved, and your movement speed is reduced by half, regardless of encumbrance or other effects.
-
Greater Fairy Tale Mutagens
=
Alice In Wonderland
Your mind slips down the rabbit hole, spiraling through realms of impossibility and wonder. Logic bends, time folds, and your perception fractures into something terrifyingly brilliant. As an action, you can force one creature you can see within 30 feet to make a DC 16 Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, they suffer from Short-Term Madness (roll from the table in the Dungeon Master's Guide) for 1 minute. You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus per long rest. In addition, you get 10ft of True Sight.

The journey never ends. While under this mutagens effects, you suffer from Long-Term Madness (roll from the table in the Dungeon Master's Guide) which persists until cured by greater restoration, wish, or similar magic, or flushing the mutagen out.
-
King Arthur
The original king of all kings, the divine heir of nobility, and all knights follow you at your word. As a bonus action, you may choose a number of creatures within 30 feet of you equal to your proficiency bonus. Until the start of your next turn, each chosen creature adds 1d4 to one attack roll or saving throw of their choice. In addition, once per turn when you hit with a melee weapon attack, you gain advantage on your attack roll and can channel Divine Smite, dealing an additional 2d8 radiant damage, or 3d8 if the target is a fiend or undead. This does not require spell slots and counts as magical.

The crown is a beacon—and a burden. Hostile creatures prioritize you in combat if they can see or perceive you, and they gain advantage on their first attack roll against you. You cannot be hidden or invisible. In addition, you cannot benefit from the effects of the Sanctuary spell or similar effects that prevent you from being targeted.
-
Lady of the Lake [Prepared]
You feel your body slowly submerge into a lake of mana, becoming one with ancient waters. You gain a +2 bonus to spell attack rolls and to the saving throw DCs of your spells. When you deal damage or restore hit points with a spell or spell-like effect, your magic becomes a surging tsunami. Roll a d6, on a 6 the die for the effect is doubled from that effect.

The tsunami leaves wreckage wherever you go. When you roll the d6, if it is a 1, the die amount is reduced by half instead(minimum 1, rounded down).

Major Fairy Tale Mutagens
=
Mort, the Apprentice of Death
Your shadow resembles that of a large and glooming robe, and your touch rots life. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you may choose to reduce that creature’s hit points to 0 until the end of the current turn—as though they had truly died. This effect can only target a creature once per turn. At the end of the turn, the creature's hit points are restored to what they were before the attack. The creature must then succeed on a DC 19 Wisdom saving throw, or become stunned until the end of its next turn as it reels from its brush with death.

Death is a heavy tax. You must pay it with interest. And the taxman always gets his due. Each time you invoke this effect, you must immediately make a Death Saving Throw. These saving throws accumulate and do not reset until you finish a long rest or die.
-
Baba Yaga
The Roundtable Syndicate’s attempt to capture the infamous Baba Yaga ended in failure. All they recovered from her shifting, swamp-laden domain was a single gnarled apple tree. As an action, you can produce a magical apple out of thin air. This apple can possess whatever appearance you wish, be that a ruby red coloration, a golden skin, or the appearance of crystal. On your turn, you can use your action to eat the apple, granting you the following benefits for 1 minute:
You immediately regain 50 hit points and end any conditions, diseases, or curses affecting you.
You gain resistance to all damage types for the duration.
You gain access to Witchcraft—you can cast Bestow Curse at 9th level at will, without expending a spell slot. When you do so, the target has disadvantage on the saving throw (DC 19 Wisdom).

However, the apple is suffused with your insidious magic. If a creature other than yourself eats the apple, it doesn't gain any benefits and instead must make a Wisdom saving throw with disadvantage. On a failed save, the creature becomes poisoned for up to 24 hours. For each round the creature is poisoned, it loses 4d8 hit points. This loss can't be reduced or avoided. If this reduction causes the creature to drop to 0 hit points, the creature instead drops to 1 hit point and falls into a catatonic sleep, remaining unconscious for up to 7 days. A remove curse spell or similar magic can awaken this creature early.

The apple shrivels and becomes non-magical if it isn't eaten within 24 hours. Once you produce a magical apple, you can't produce another one until you retake this mutagen.

Yet even you are not spared the tree’s curse. When the apple’s effects end, you fall into an unnatural slumber for 1 day. You cannot be awakened except by Wish or True Love’s Kiss. Additionally, while under the effects of this mutagen, your appearance shifts to resemble that of an aged crone or hag, and animals instinctively fear you—becoming hostile or avoiding you entirely.

Monkey's Paw [Prepared]
Your hand sprouts an extra, gnarled finger, and an unsettling compulsion overtakes you—make a Wish. The moment you inject this mutagen, your action is consumed as you involuntarily cast the Wish spell, laced with a cruel and unforeseen twist. Once the wish is made, the new finger blackens, curls, and crumbles to ash.

Spellcasting: You are able to cast any 8th level or lower spell as an action. If you use it this way, you don't need to meet any requirements to cast that spell, including costly components. The spell simply takes effect. However, the finger curls and an NPC of the DMs choice also gains the ability to cast this spell. You don't know the identity of this NPC until they or someone else reveals it.

Object Creation: You create one object of up to 25,000 GP in value that isn't a magic item. The object can be no more than 300 feet in any dimension, and it appears in an unoccupied space that you can see on the ground. However, the finger curls and all forms of wealth that you carry or own, other than magic items, are lost to you. Portable property vanishes. Businesses, buildings, and land you own are lost in a way that alters reality the least. If you have a Bastion (see the Dungeon Master's Guide), it is destroyed by some calamity beyond your control. Any documentation that proves you should own something lost to this mutagen also disappears.

Instant Health: You allow yourself and up to twenty creatures that you can see to regain all Hit Points, and you end all effects on them listed in the Greater Restoration spell. However, the finger curls and all affected creatures, including yourself, become unable to regain hit points by any means for the next 24 hours.

Resistance: You grant up to ten creatures that you can see Resistance to one damage type that you choose. This Resistance lasts for 1 hour. However, the finger curls and all affected creatures gain vulnerability to one damage type that the DM chooses, this duration is 24 hours.

Sudden Learning: You replace one of your feats with another feat for which you are eligible. You lose all the benefits of the old feat and gain the benefits of the new one. You can't replace a feat that is a prerequisite for any of your other feats or features, this swap lasts for 1 hour and then your feat reverts to what it was. However, the finger curls and you are unable to benefit from any other feat while this effect is active.

Roll Redo: You undo a single recent event by forcing a reroll of any die roll made within the last round (including your last turn). Reality reshapes itself to accommodate the new result. For example, a Wish spell could undo an ally's failed saving throw or a foe's Critical Hit. You can force the reroll to be made with Advantage or Disadvantage, and you choose whether to use the reroll or the original roll. However, the finger curls and an NPC of the DMs choice may either automatically succeed on a saving throw of their choice, or choose a moment when you automatically fail a saving throw. This effect can be used at any time by the NPC, even retroactively.

Reshape Reality: You may wish for something not included in any of the other effects. To do so, state your wish to the DM as precisely as possible. The DM has great latitude in ruling what occurs in such an instance; the greater the wish, the greater the likelihood that something goes wrong—except that this time, it will always go wrong. The wish always comes true, and it always goes awry. The effects of the Wish are absolute and cannot be avoided, negated, undone, or countered by any means—magical or divine. The rules of the world bend for no one. Upon using Reshape Reality, you seemingly forget this part of the formula for future concoctions and are unable to use it ever again.

The Holy Grail (Major) [Prepared]
Infused with divine golden flakes from the fabled Holy Grail, your body and spirit are momentarily perfected. One ability score of your choice increases by 8, to a maximum of 30.

However, such perfection comes at a cost. The overwhelming presence of divinity muddles your connection to mortal concerns. You have disadvantage on all ability checks, and initiative rolls while under the effects of this mutagen. During the duration of this Fairy Tale Mutagen, the DM has the discretion to choose that you automatically fail one saving throw of the related Ability Score and you no longer benefit from advantage from D20 Tests to the related Ability Score.

Cards Against The Forces of Evil
*Wonderous Item*
*Legendary Item - Attunement*

*Forged from the petrified essence of magical fauna, each card is a shard of wilderness frozen into jagged stone, as though kissed by the gaze of a Basilisk. Their edges are rough, yet each face has been painstakingly carved—depicting Sovereigns, Gods, and the silent struggle between Mortality and Immortality. Every card bears a duality, a reflection of creation and undoing, of succor and ruin. They are said to have been fashioned by an Undead Frozen Dwarf, Raphael Deliro Stoneblood, whose legacy endures only in this paradoxical deck.*

__Ancient Duels From Beyond Time: __ At the start of each of your turns, you may draw one card from your deck. Roll a 1d2, this will decide if you receive an Upright(1) or Reversed(2) card. After that, roll a 1d6, as this will decide what card you are given. To maintain the cards effect, you must expend a bonus action and not draw an additional card, otherwise they end at the start of your next turn.

__King of Prosperity/Queen of the Conquered(1-2)__
Upright: You gain a regal Emanation of 15 feet. You and creatures of your choice within this emanation of you gain 2d8 stacking temporary hit points at the start of each of their turns or the first time they enter the emanation.

At the end of your turn, you can choose to end this effect early. When this effect ends, you and all creatures of your choice gain the benefits of Bless until the end of your next turn, and each creature regains hit points equal to the amount of temporary hit points they had gained by this effect.

Reversed: Creatures of your choice within 15 feet of you inside the Emanation suffer the effects of Bane.

At the end of your turn, you can choose to end this effect early. When this effect ends, all creatures suffer psychic damage equal to three times the total amount that was subtracted from their rolls by this effect.

__Jack of Dignity/Ace of the Revered(3-4)__
Upright: Choose an amount of creatures within 15 feet of yourself equal to your half of proficiency bonus(rounded down), their AC is increased by 1. This amount increases each turn you maintain this effect, to a maximum of 5 times.

At the end of your turn, you can choose to end this effect early. When this effect ends, all creatures lose this additional AC but instead gain an additional modifier to their melee attack rolls and damage rolls until the end of their next turn equal to the amount of AC they had gained from this feature.

Reversed: Choose an amount of creatures within 15 feet of yourself equal to your proficiency bonus have their AC reduced by 1. This amount increases each turn you maintain this effect, to a maximum of 5 times.

At the end of your turn, you can choose to end this effect early. When this effect ends, their AC is returned to normal, however they take a reduction to all saving throws they make until the end of your next turn, an amount equal to their reduced AC from this effect.

__Bishop of Benevolence/Joker of the Discourse(5-6)__
Upright: Choose a creature within 15 feet of yourself, as you designate them as your Knight. Whenever you would regain hit points, take damage or suffer a condition, you may instead choose to delegate those effects to your Knight.

At the end of your turn, you can choose to end this effect early. When this effect ends, your Knight is repaid and gains the effects of the Haste spell until the end of their next turn.

Reversed: Choose a creature within 15 feet of yourself, designating them as your Fool. Whenever they would regain hit points, gain a beneficial condition, or receive a similar effect, you may instead choose to delegate those benefits to yourself.

At the end of your turn, you may end this effect early. When it ends, your Fool is wracked with the cost of their service, becoming stunned until the end of their next turn as spectral chains of discourse bind them.
