 Strixhaven Bulletin Board
A
s with any university, Strixhaven is filled with
both clubs seeking new members among the
incoming students and with places of business
looking for new student workers to replace
those who either graduated or who took a new
job elsewhere. In this companion we'll look at a
number of different extracurriculars and jobs
that might be posted on bulletin boards in your campaign.
Each extracurriculars below is "sponsored" by a member
of the faculty or staff, many of whom are from Volume I of
this series. You're welcome to drop the staff sponsorship and
merely use the clubs as they are presented. For those who
keep the staff, keep in mind that some staff may be more
involved than others. Some clubs may be entirely student run
while other staff may take a hands on approach. At a DM's
discretion you may decide to give students proficiency in
various tools, such as an instrument for taking a year of
Show Band or in Mason's Tools for being part of the
Stoneworker's assembly.
The extracurriculars also take one of the "free time" slots
discussed in Volume II. DMs should work with their players
to determine appropriate times for the extracurricular to
meet if they are not creating a calendar for the university.
As a disclaimer, some of the published extracurriculars are
included below with additional notes. Each extracurricular
also includes up to three associated rolls for student dice,
similar to the classes from Volume I.
As a final note, DMs are encouraged to build in events for
students in extracurriculars to perform, compete, or
otherwise have a chance to prove themselves and roleplay.
Example ideas are noted with certain extracurriculars below.
Extracurriculars
"Body Builders" Club
Associated Rolls: Arcana, Constitution, Spell Modifier
Under the strict supervision of Professor Onyx, students
work on safely creating different types of undead using
available body parts. For extra humor, consider having a
particularly dense individual attend the club who thinks it's a
group of exercise-focused students. Upon seeing a stack of
bodies the student is at first appalled but then might go over
to the stack and start lifting various corpses. Club events
might include a fighting tournament, similar to modern
robotics clubs, where students pit their creations against
each other.
Adventurer's League
Associated Skills: Nature, Perception, Survival
Members of this club consider themselves to be novice
adventurers. They study a number of classic monsters and
train themselves to perceive and identify different traps,
secret passages, etc. Either once per trimester or once per
year the league's sponsor, Verelda Lang, takes students on a
field trip to a local dungeon or tomb to let them try what
they've learned. Trips may take place on different weekends
with first-years all going together on the first trip, second-
years on the second trip, and so on.
Strixhaven Supplemental | Extracurriculars

Ancient Artifact Enthusiasts
Associated Skills: Arcana, History, Insight
The eager students who attend this club tend to gather in
Osgir's workshop. As the sponsor and as a fellow artifact
enthusiast himself, Osgir shows students different pieces
from his collection as he teaches them about the history and
magical properties of each one. Osgir tends to save his
duplication efforts of newly discovered artifacts, which come
up maybe 2-3 times each year, for when his club meets so
they can all learn about the new discoveries together.
Arcavios Historical Society
Associated Skills: History, Insight, Investigation
This club was originally called the "Dragonsguard
Historical Society" but had the name changed as the club
focuses on far more than just the history of the
Dragonsguard. Members of this club meet over snacks and a
cup of tea to discuss the events of the past. Debates often
break out when research findings about historical events
differ between students. Students are graced each trimester
with a bonus lecture from sponsor Riri Brighteye. While
some students would typically groan and moan about having
additional lectures, students in this club look forward to the
lectures each time.
Arcavios Zoology Club
Associated Skills: Animal Handling, Nature, Survival
Students in this club work with Professor Kojil on learning
proper care techniques and survival skills for a variety of
native animals from around Arcavios. Even fearsome
predators are more calmed and reserved in Kojil's presence,
allowing students the chance to get a far closer look at such
creatures than would otherwise be possible. Students might
spend around 3 weeks with different creatures before being
introduced to a new creature. For particularly dangerous
beasts Kojil might take students on field trips where they
observe from afar.
Bog Patrol Squad
Associated Skills: Nature, Perception, Survival
This club meets with Professor Willowdusk as she
endlessly patrols Sedgemoor and the Detention Bog.
Students get extra hands-on practice identifying different
plants and tracks and learning about the varying parts of the
ecology around them. Willowdusk doesn't deviate from her
normal patrol behaviors so students typically don't have
special weekend events with this club.
Clockwork Engineering Club
Associated Skills: History, Insight, Investigation
In a place where magic is present in everyday life very few
are interested in the technology of the past. For those who
are, the C.E.C. is the place to be. Students either meet with
Losheel or, more often than not, with one of her automatons
to learn how such creations function. During the second and
third trimesters students might start working on their own
automatons which they then present to their fellows at the
end of the third trimester.
Competitive Spell-Flingers Association
Associated Rolls: Arcana, Spell Attack, Spell Modifier
Hitting a target 10 feet away with a spell is a feat any first-
year can achieve. Hitting a target 120 feet away behind a
decent amount of cover is much more difficult. Students in
this club, sponsored by Liv Brandford, train to hit difficult
targets behind different types of cover and at different ranges.
Competitions take place each trimester. DMs are encouraged
to roleplay out these competitions and can have students
"attack" targets with different ACs based on total cover.
Students might start with an open target, then a partially
covered target, then a three-quarters covered target.
Participants have 3 attempts on each target. Missing all three
attempts is an automatic disqualification. Otherwise points
are tallied where each hit on the first round scores one point,
second round hits score two points, third round hits score
three points. Highest point total wins an appropriate gold
reward or a Wand of the War Mage.
Culinarians United
Associated Rolls: Constitutions Saves, Perception,
Survival
Gyome accepts students of all skill levels into this club. The
only requirement is that students must have a love of
cooking. Some club sessions may involve learning new
recipes or studying unusual ingredients. At least once a year
Gyome holds a fundraiser feast. He splits his club in half and
has each team compete for votes amongst the dinner guests.
The winners gain bragging rights and perhaps a small cash
reward while the losers are stuck with cleaning duties after
the event.
Cute Conjurations Group
Associated Rolls: Animal Handling, Arcana, Constitution
Saves
Club members in the Cute Conjurations Group are
typically just looking for a place to relax and hangout. Veyran
starts each session off by summoning a number of small, cute
elementals with which students then get to play. This club
has no special weekend activities and is open to anyone at
any time whenever someone just wants to feel warm licks
from a fun fire-shaped dog or other such cute creature.
Dead Languages Society
Associated Skills: History, Insight, Perception
This club is essentially the same as described in the
published content but with a few minor changes. Professor
Xyla Langning sponsors this club and attends meetings
regularly to get a chance to interact with students who might
speak rare or dead tongues. I've changed the associated skills
as Athletics did not make sense in this club. I've added
insight and perception as students gain insight into the
grammar of past languages and attempt to sound out
different words properly. Students might work on
translations during the club and then present their work at
the end of the year in front of their peers.
Distinguished Society of Fine Artists
Associated Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Performance
Despite being a Prismari professor of expression, Iggy
sponsors this group of artists which contains many students
from the perfection side of the Prismari divide as well as
other talents from the other colleges. This club is a favorite of
artists from a variety of mediums. Dancers, painters,
sculptors, essayists, and more hone their skills and critique
others in this group. Each student spends most sessions
practicing with others in their fields and many of them tend
to submit a work for peer review each trimester.
Dragonchess Club
Associated Skills: Deception, Insight, Investigation
Not too many changes for this one. This club is sponsored
by Renald, a Dragonchess prodigy who has yet to lose a game
thanks to being able to literally see the probabilities of every
single move. In addition to the two skills in the book I've
added Insight as reading your opponent is just as important
as your strategy in Dragonchess.
Dragonsguard Reserve Officer Training
Corp.
Associated Rolls: Athletics, Melee Attacks (Dexterity or
Strength based), Spell Attacks
Lianna Flametongue puts potential Dragonsguard recruits
through their paces in this club. Students work through a
number of training drills and focus on various attack
techniques that have been used by the Dragonsguard for
centuries to protect Arcavios. On special weekend trips
students might travel to meet and learn from individual
Founder Dragons.
Enchanting Poets Society
Associated Rolls: Performance, Persuasion, Wisdom
Saves
Members of this Society meet to study and perform
different styles of poetry. Professor Sace sponsors the group
and performs her own poetry every year or so at a special
club-sponsored event that is treated as a type of fundraiser.
Sace helps students in the club use the magic of language to
capture specific emotions and enchant audiences. Students
also hold events each trimester for student recitals which are
often well-attended, especially by Silverquill students.
Entomology Enthusiasts
Associated Skills: Animal Handling, Insight, Nature
Clem's fascination with small creatures led her to create
this club. While Kojil's zoology club focuses primarily on
mammals, Clem's group focuses primarily on insects.
Students might observe different insect behaviors during club
time and Clem will often enlarge various specimens to allow
students to more closely examine different physiologies. This
club has no special weekend events.

 Event Planning Committee
Associated Skills: Intimidation, Performance, Persuasion
Students in this club help plan various special events for
their peers under the supervision of Zoei. Events are up to
DM discretion but might include balls, campus-wide dance
parties, talent shows, etc. Club meetings involve planning for
the next big event, firmly persuading different groups to
provide support (for example, having the Strixhaven Show
Band play at a ball), and convincing people to attend events.
Fantastical Horticulture Club
Associated Skills: Athletics, Nature, Survival
Verooja is far too protective to allow students in his garden
without constant supervision. So he set aside a side plot of
land in Sedgemoor for this sponsored club. Students work
together to grow and cultivate a number of uncommon or
unique plants. Verooja takes students through portals from
time to time to different parts of Arcavios to expose them to
interesting plants from different biomes.
Future Architects of Arcavios
Associated Skills: Arcana, Insight, Perception
From the ruins of Pillardrop to the water sculptures of
Quandrix to the star arches at Archway Commons the
methods and techniques involved in buildings and landscape
designs are as unique and varied as the colleges themselves.
Students in this club discuss their favorite styles and designs
and even take weekend trips with their sponsor, Professor
Bildra, to look at the buildings of other areas of Arcavios.
Future Entrepreneurs of Strixhaven
Associated Skills: Deception, Insight, Persuasion
Some mages want to make new discoveries. Others want
to better their communities. But for students in this club,
magic is a means to an end and that end is profit. Club
members work on making different products and on carrying
out marketing campaigns. The Battle of Strixhaven is the
perfect event for them to set up and hawk their wares as
students and faculty from across the campus are gathered in
a single spot.
Independent Research Consortium
Associated Rolls: Arcana, Deception, Spell Modifier
Venoc only hates one thing more than being forced to have
a silly club to manage and that's having people interfere or
pry into his research. So, to get back at the Strixhaven
Administration he created a club that focuses on independent
and private research. Students in this club typically work on
their own unless they and another club member have
mutually agreed to meet to discuss experiment results. As
weekends are valuable times for lengthy lab sessions this
club does not have trivial weekend events.
Intramural Gymnastics Club
Associated Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Performance
I don't have too many changes to this published
extracurricular except to add Athletics as a skill. This club is
run by Zeph, who runs competitions for students who spend
most of their club time working on different routines.
Strixhaven Supplemental | Extracurriculars
3
Intramural Silkball Club
Associated Rolls: Acrobatics, Athletics, Strength Saves
Unlike Mage Tower, silkball is a game that showcases a
player's natural strength and skills. Coach Shtomp runs the
intramural league and sets up matches between different
silkball teams. Rules for Silkball are included at the end of
this list of extracurriculars but focuses mostly on grappling,
shoving, passing, and receiving the silkball.
Intramural Waterbinding Club
Associated Rolls: Arcana, Performance, Spell Modifier
This club is a revised version of the published Intramural
Water-Dancing Club and is different from the Synchronized
Swimming club discussed further down this list. In this club
it's not the students who dance but the water being shaped by
the students. Ahkwa typically has volunteers from the club
put on a special but informal performance once a year.
League of Extraordinary Runners
Associated Rolls: Athletics, Constitution Saves, Medicine
Professor Jazack knows that having magical tricks to help
one escape a dangerous situation is all well and good but it's
important not to forget the fundamentals of having a good
pair of running legs. In this club students go running along
different courses they've created around the Strixhaven
campus and have annual competitions to determine the
fastest runner for different categories.
Live-Action Roleplaying Guild
Associated Rolls: Animal Handling, Deception,
Performance
Some professors sponsor clubs but tend to not get involved
too often. Professor Rixy is involved in every single club
meeting and her students love her for it. Rixy is well known
for using her abilities as a changeling to take on both
villainous and heroic roles in this club. While the club doesn't
have special events they do have open events that take place
campus wide for students who want to partake without
officially joining the club.
Mage Tower Cheer Squad
Associated Skills: Intimidation, Performance, Persuasion
Mascots are great for team spirit but nothing riles up an
audience quite like a catchy chant and dance. Arkin works
with students during club meetings to come up with
intimidating or inspiring cheers and students typically attend
Mage Tower games on the weekends to stir up the crowd's
energy.
Order of the Blade
Associated Skills: Athletics, Dexterity Saves, Melee
Attacks (Dexterity or Strength Based)
While all students who attend Strixhaven have at least a
basic level of magical ability some students are better suited
towards fighting with weapons. Students in this club hone
their skills with martial weapons by going through forms or
sparring with different partners. Tervis, the club's sponsor,
holds informal tournaments at least once a year to determine
the most capable fighter in the Order.
Playactors Drama Guild
Associated Skills: Deception, Performance, Persuasion
I understand this extracurricular offering Arcana in the
published material but I disagreed with it. In this club,
sponsored by Dramitia, students rehearse and perform both
classics and student-written comedies and dramas.
Performances tend to happen around once a trimester.
Dramitia attempts to keep out of her student's affairs to allow
for directorial talents to flourish as she once did but she's
only too happy to step in to lend a hand if asked.
Stoneworker's Assembly
Associated Rolls: History, Mason's Tools, Performance
Despite being a Lorehold professor of order, Professor
Hofri Ghostforge still finds joy and fulfillment in working with
stone. The club he sponsors is mostly populated by Lorehold
and Prismari students who also enjoy working with stone as
a medium for either historic or artistic expression. Hofri's
club hosts an art exhibit annually to show off their hard work.
Strixhaven Alchemist's Association
Associated Skills: Arcana, Medicine, Nature
This club focuses primarily on the power of potions.
Students have their own space in Professor Asana's lab
where they mix various ingredients and note the interactions
that take place. Particularly skilled students may be offered a
student job by Asana to work as a clinic assistant. This club
has no special events that take place on the weekend.
Strixhaven Debate Club
Associated Skills: Intimidation, Performance, Persuasion
Professor Luc Brandford knows that sometimes the best
way of protecting oneself is not with magic but rather with
words. In this club, Luc works with students to learn the finer
points of debating. Students are assigned to different issues
and positions at the beginning of a trimester and work on
research and tactics during club sessions. At the end of the
trimester Luc holds formal, structured debates which are
attended by both club members and any interested
individuals from the general public.
Strixhaven Grappling Club
Associated Skills: Acrobatics, Athletics, Insight
Students in this club hone their skills in grappling under
the tutelage of the ursine Professor Ruxa. Clubs are usually
either instructor-led demonstrations or practice time with an
opponent. Club members compete at least once a year to see
who is the best grappler and who is the best escape artist.
Magic is forbidden in these contests and students learn to
rely on their raw skills and their ability to read their opponent
instead.
Strixhaven Iron-Lifters Society
Associated Rolls: Athletics, Constitution Saves, Strength
Saves
Students looking to build muscle and push their
boundaries come together in this club. Using specially made
and standardized weights made of iron, these students
typically train together in the evening before competing once
a year in a large meet that is sponsored by Professor Rock.
Overall winners from different categories may receive cash
prizes.
Strixhaven Mathematics Alliance
Associated Rolls: Arcana, Insight, Intelligence
Students in this club work together to solve complex math
equations. Some equations may take weeks or even months
to complete but that only serves to heighten the student's
sense of accomplishment. Professor Deekah supervises this
club and typically assigns a challenging equation whenever
the club is ready for it. Volunteers from the club compete
annually to see who can solve challenging equations the
fastest and most accurately.
Strixhaven Quiz Club
Associated Rolls: Arcana, History, Insight
Professor Orvlo leads this club which reviews and studies
different pieces of trivia about the history of Strixhaven,
uncommon facts about the school, and about the eight
schools of magic. Orvlo splits the club in half at least once a
year for a quiz bowl competition. Individual quiz competitions
may also take place during the different trimesters.
Strixhaven Show Band Association
Associated Rolls: Arcana, Musical Instruments,
Performance
For the most part students who wish to play a musical
instrument join this club. Some students may form smaller,
independent musical groups but most jump at the chance to
join Zaffai's Show Band. Most weekday sessions are spent in
rehearsals with performances taking place between one to
three times each year.
Strixhaven Speech Club
Associated Skills: Charisma, Performance, Persuasion
Most students find working on speeches under Professor
Smart Mouth odd. But the kenku professor's extensive
knowledge of language gets the job done and he always
seems to have the perfect word to recommend to students to
help get their points across. Most sessions with this club are
either explorations into different speech techniques or
oratory practices. Students participate in a speech
competition at least once a year.
Strixhaven Star
Associated Skills: Insight, Intimidation, Investigation
As a school Strixhaven is full of drama. It's up to the
student journalists behind the Strixhaven Star to find that
drama and make it public. Students in this club are expected
to always keep an ear out for a scoop during and between
classes and come together during the evenings for writing
and editing purposes. Professor Breena serves as the paper's
editor, making sure the comments used by the paper are as
alarming and scathing as possible. This club does not have
"special" weekend events but meets occasionally on the
weekend in the case of breaking news and to supervise the
printing and distribution of the paper.
Strixhaven Supplemental | Extracurriculars

 Student-Mages of Faith
Associated Skills: Arcana, Insight, Religion
Religion at Strixhaven is treated with reverence as
students come from many walks of life and students tend to
not want to offend their peers. Club members in this group
consist of faithful practitioners and curious individuals alike.
Students take part in enlightened discussions and debates
under the mediation of Professor Helioz. This group might
work with the Event Planning Committee to host various
holiday celebrations throughout the year.
Students of the Beyond
Associated Rolls: Deception, Religion, Wisdom Saves
On the surface this group of students appears to be part of
an astrology club. However, students of this club actually
spend their time researching other planes and attempting to
make contact with inhabitants from those planes. Under the
watchful eye of Professor Brenneth students perform
seances, research mystical portals, and reach for divine
powers. The group doesn't have any public events throughout
the year but might meet on weekends in secret if Brenneth
feels himself being approached by an entity from the other
side so students can witness his contact or possession.
Synchronized Swimming Club
Associated Rolls: Athletics, Constitution Saves,
Performance
This club is sponsored by the ultimate synchronized
swimmers, Adrix and Nev. Students learn not only how to
master swimming through the water but how to match the
rhythm and timing of others to create truly amazing displays
of art that involve incredibly natural patterns. Most sessions
are filled with intense training but the club puts on a public
show at least once a year, typically towards the end of the
year.
The Black Hands
Associated Rolls: Arcana, Constitution Saves, Spell
Modifier
Students in this club are self-named followers of Professor
Tivash. They are few in number and invitations are typically
handled by word of mouth or referrals from Tivash himself
rather than through public advertisements. Students in the
club work together to unravel dark, borderline forbidden
magics as they work to try to get to the level of power their
hero has. The club functions almost less as a club and as
more of a cult, one Tivash acknowledges but doesn't
necessarily help. Because he is technically listed as their
sponsor he gets out of having to deal with more annoying
students and because they are trying to independently reach
his level he has more time to do his own studying and
research into dark powers. This group has no special
weekend events.
Jobs
The book offers a fair number of jobs across a handful of
different locations. For the most part these jobs seem fairly
sufficient. For individuals using Volume II of this series I'd
encourage coming up with more managerial positions for
those with 3 or more points in the Job Student Skill.
Strixhaven Supplemental | Extracurriculars
5
I'd encourage DMs not to build skill checks into jobs. Tuition
at Strixhaven is pricey and students should be able to hold
down a job to attempt to make enough money to meet the
800 gold tuition. That being said, having a student miss a
shift due to an adventure or some other scenario can be a
good moment for roleplay. If you decide to fire a student from
one job due to absences or because of a rivalry with a fellow
student they should easily be able to get a job elsewhere.
A player may be offered a job as an assistant to certain
professors, especially if they've proven themselves in one or
more classes. Example ideas using professors and staff from
both the published content and Volume I include helping
Professor Asana with her clinic, helping Gyome as a sous
chef, helping Clem care for her collection of insects, etc.
Some students, especially those in their third and fourth
years may find opportunities for freelance work. The type of
work available typically depends on the student's college with
variations being rare but not unheard of.
Upperclassmen Freelance Jobs

Lorehold Ruin Explorer
Prismari Artist
Quandrix Theorem Computer
Silverquill Vainglory (motivating through magic)

Ruin Explorers delve into the unexplored parts of

Artists paint, draw, sculpt, or create art through a different
medium and attempt to find buyers at college art shows or
amongst any alumni contacts the student may have.
Theorem Computers work for Quandrix professors and
alumni to tackle the easier but more time consuming parts of
advanced calculations.
Vainglories use magic to inspire and motivate individuals
who often feel directionless. Students trying to find their
motivation to do last-minute homework assignments, artists
with creative blocks, and even professors seeking a
breakthrough might contract the services of a Vainglory.
Spell Component Seekers brave the dangers of Sedgemoor
and the Detention Bog in search of rare plants and other
ingredients they can potentially sell to Asana, Venoc, or
others.

Silkball
Silkball is a sport Wizards of the Coast provided absolutely
no context for. This companion provides rules based on a
number of observations from what little information we do
have.
Rough and Tumble: With these words being used to
describe Silkball we can think of the sport as being
physical in nature, with contact between players occurring
regularly
Muddy Fields: The fields are described as muddy in the
published extracurricular description. Most of the field
could be considered difficult terrain.
Silk Ball: Silk is a slippery substance that gets dirty easily.
Because the game takes place on a muddy field we can
assume that the ball(s) would get dirty immediately.
Constantly replacing balls would be a resource drain so
the balls are enchanted to resist the mud.
Outlined in Magical Chalk: This chalk prevents balls from
flying out of bounds and hitting the audience.
Mage Tower takes place in the Strixhaven Arena with
Silkball taking the backseat in the old field: Most of the
students at Strixhaven are adept at magic and presumably
very few are particularly fast or strong. Since Silkball is
less prominent we can assume it takes either strength or
dexterity.
Dirt Ramps: Not muddy means normal terrain
No Goalposts: Scoring doesn't take place by moving
something from one end of the field to the other, like Mage
Tower.
Aerojaunt moves using magic: Despite presumably
appealing to more physical students, Aerojaunt still uses
magic. I don't know of a spell that allows for double
jumping so perhaps a standardized magic item is used by
participants?
With the ideas above I've put together two separate
variants of the game. You're welcome to use either in your
campaigns or you could even make students flip a coin to see
which version they'll play. Both versions make use of the
magical item below:
Silkball Boots
Wondrous Item, Common
While wearing these boots you have access to the three
options below, each of which costs one charge. The boots
contain six charges and regain charges when a new match
starts.
Aerojaunt: You may jump and then jump again in the air
as part of your movement. Ignoring the usual rules for
jumping you may gain 5 feet of altitude and up to 15 feet
of horizontal distance with each jump. Each portion of the
jump consumes 15 feet of normal movement. If landing in
mud you must succeed a DC 10 Dexterity (Acrobatics)
check or land prone.
Strixhaven Supplemental | Extracurriculars
7
Mud Dive: If you use an action to dash you may make a
shove attack as a bonus action with advantage on the
Strength (Athletics) check. Upon a success you and your
target fall prone. Upon a failure only you fall prone next to
your target.
Terra Firma: You may use an action to steady your stance.
Until your next turn Strength (Athletics) checks made
against you to shove or grapple are made at disadvantage.
In addition, ranged attacks against you are made at
disadvantage.
Variant 1: Keep Away
In this version of the game the objective is to maintain
possession of a large, volleyball sized ball. To start the game
the ball is launched up in the air and lands in a random part
of the field. Participants roll initiative and take their turns
attempting to get the ball or keeping the ball away from the
other team. Picking up the ball costs one action.
In this game the ball of spider silk is enchanted to be
slippery instead of sticky. Players may not use weapons or
spells to assault other players. The only valid moves are
shoving, grappling, and stealing (a new kind of attack).
When attempting to steal you make a Dexterity (Sleight of
Hand) check against the target's Strength saving throw. Upon
success you gain possession of the ball. Stealing attacks are
made at advantage against prone and grappled targets due to
the slippery nature of the ball.
To keep the ball safe from the opposing team it is
encouraged to pass it to an open teammate. Passing requires
using an action to make a Strength (Athletics) or Dexterity
(Athletics) check. The receiver must make a Dexterity saving
throw. If the average of those two rolls meets or exceeds the
DC in the table below, the pass is successful. If it fails the ball
falls into the mud in a location determined by the DM.
Throwing Difficulty Checks
Distance (Horizontal) DC
5 - 45 feet 12
50 - 90 feet 14
90 - 135 feet 16
135+ feet 18
Each game period is played for a duration of 3 or 5 rounds
(determined by the DM). Having possession of the ball at the
end of the game period scores you 1 point. Games are
typically played as best of 3 periods or best of 5 periods.
Variant 2: Paintball
This version of the game is much simpler. Students are given
an ammo pouch of smaller, sticky balls of spider silk and a
pair of gloves that ignore the sticky property of the balls. As in
variant 1 the game starts with an initiative roll and then
participants make ranged attacks with the balls against their
opponents. Participants are unarmored when they
participate. Being hit tags you with a silk ball. The team hit
the least at the end of a period scores a point. Games are
played as best of 3 periods or best of 5 periods.
