In a typical campaign, characters aren’t driven mad by the horrors they face and the carnage they inflict day after day, but sometimes the stress of being an adventurer can be too much to bear. If your campaign has a strong horror theme, you might want to use madness as a way to reinforce that theme, emphasizing the extraordinarily horrific Nature of the threats the adventurers face.Going Mad
Various magical Effects can inflict madness on an otherwise stable mind. Certain Spells, such as Contact Other Plane and , can cause insanity, and you can use the madness rules here instead of the spell Effects of those Spells. Diseases, Poisons, and planar Effects such as psychic wind or the howling winds of Pandemonium can all inflict madness. Some artifacts can also break the psyche of a character who uses or becomes attuned to them.Resisting a madness-inducing effect usually requires a Wisdom or Charisma saving throw.
Madness Effects
Madness can be short-term, long-term, or indefinite. Most relatively mundane Effects impose short-term madness, which lasts for just a few minutes. More horrific Effects or cumulative Effects can result in long-term or indefinite madness.A character afflicted with short-term madness is subjected to an effect from the Short-Term Madness table for 1d10 minutes.
A character afflicted with long-term madness is subjected to an effect from the Long-Term Madness table for 1d10 × 10 hours.
A character afflicted with indefinite madness gains a new character flaw from the Indefinite Madness table that lasts until cured.

Spellcasting[edit]
- Preparing and Casting spells
The Blue Mage table shows how many spell points you have to cast your spells of 1st level and higher. To cast one of these spells, you must expend spell point to create a spell slot of a given level, as shown in the table below. You cannot create a spell slot that exceeds your maximum spell level, as shown in the Blue Mage Table. You can't reduce your spell point total to less than 0, and you regain all spent spell points when you finish a long rest.
| Spell Level | Point Cost |
|---|---|
| 1st | 2 |
| 2nd | 3 |
| 3rd | 5 |
| 4th | 6 |
| 5th | 7 |
| 6th | 9 |
| 7th | 10 |
You prepare the list of blue mage spells that are available for you to cast, choosing from the blue mage spell list and the spells you have acquired through your learning feature. When you do so, choose a number of spells equal to your Intelligence modifier + half your blue mage level (minimum of one spell).
You can change your list of prepared spells when you finish a long rest. Preparing a new list of blue mage spells requires 1 minute per spell level for each spell on your list.
- Spellcasting Ability
Dnd 5e Dmg
Intelligence is your spellcasting ability for your bard spells. The power of your magic relies on your ability to harness the knowledge you’ve acquired from many creatures You use your Intelligence whenever a spell refers to your spellcasting ability. In addition, you use your Intelligence modifier when setting the saving throw DC for a blue mage spell you cast and when making an attack roll with one.
- Spell save DC = 8 + your proficiency modifier + your Intelligence modifier.
- Spell attack modifier = your proficiency modifier + your Intelligence modifier.
- Spellcasting Focus
You can use a light weapon as a spellcasting focus for your blue mage spells. When you do so, you can also use the weapon in place of the somatic component of the spell.
Azure Lore[edit]
You can can use your knowledge of blue magic to create different effects. You start with one such effect: Learning.
When you use your Azure Lore, you choose which effect to create. You must then finish a short or long rest to use your Azure Lore again.
At 5th, 10th, 14th and 17th level you gain a new Azure Lore effect, chosen from the list below. Each time you gain a new effect, you can use Azure Lore an additional time between rests. When you finish a short or long rest, your regain all your expended uses.
- Azure Lore: Learning
You can use your action to try to absorb the essence of a creature you can see within 30 feet of you. The target makes a Constitution saving throw against your spell save DC. On a failed save, you gain a blue mage spell. The target automatically fails the saving throw if it is incapacitated.
You can choose any blue mage spell that meets the prerequisites. When you gain a new blue mage spell beyond your maximum, you can choose to replace one of your blue mage spells with the new one.

- Azure Lore: Burst Affinity
When you or a friendly creature within 30 feet of you casts a spell that includes a hostile creature as a target, you can use your reaction to cast a blue mage spell, which is resolved after the initial spell. The spell must share a damage type or school of magic with the initial spell, and it must target the same creature as the initial spell.
- Azure Lore: Chain Affinity
When you or a friendly creature within 10 feet of you makes a weapon attack, you can use your reaction to cast a blue mage spell against the same target. If the damage type of your spell is different to the damage type of the initial attack, you add your Intelligence modifier to the damage roll of your spell.
- Azure Lore: Convergence
When you cast a blue mage spell that would target more than one creature, you may have the spell effect just one target of your choice. If you do so, increase any damage die dealt by the spell by one step (for example, a spell that would deal 3d6 damage would instead deal 3d8 damage), and if the spell requires the target to make a spell saving throw, the DC is increased by 2.
- Azure Lore: Diffusion
When you cast a blue mage spell that would target yourself or one friendly creature, you can also have it effect four other creatures you choose than you can see within 30 feet.
