Dark Souls 5e Compendium

This document was written with the simplicity, and freedom that comes to mind when it
comes to 5th Edition, Dungeons & Dragons. With that said, the concept of certain things
are made to give the player freedom and are a guideline, the specifics will be kept intact
when it comes to most information. This is currently a Work in Progress!
I do not own any images shown in the document below!
I give my thanks to the Dark Souls wiki pages for images, information, and flavor text!

 Chapter 1: Weapons
Weapon Types
The weapons across the Souls series have always been
categorized into various weapon-types. The table below is
made with that in mind, and with the idea of 5e's weapon
styles together, giving a good broad showcase of what each
weapon-type is like. This allows the players to flavor up their
mundane weapons they find, or have the DM use these as a
template for making custom weapons.

Weapons
A collection, examples of the specific and magical weapons of
Dark Souls.
Daggers
Small, but deadly. Simple small bladed weapons for those
lacking strength enough for a true sword. But that does not
mean their are lacking in their own right. Known for the
ability to stab in just the right place for extra lethality.
Corvian Greatknife
Weapon (Dagger), Uncommon
"Dagger of the unwanted, those guided by heretical
storytellers. A rather large dagger with a powerful attack, but
this transparent attempt to intimidate foes reveals much
about its owner's fears."
Large Make. This dagger does 1d6 damage, instead of 1d4.
Although, it's increased size has made it heavy, lacking the
Thrown property.
Dark Silver Tracer
Weapon (Dagger), Very Rare (Requires Attunement)
"A dark silver dagger used by the Lord's Blade Ciaran, of
Gwyn's Four Knights. The victim is first distracted by
dazzling streaks of the Gold Tracer, then stung by the vicious
poison of this dagger."
Viscious Poison. This weapon deals an additional 2d10
poison damage. The poison damage from this weapon
ignores resistance. When you attack a creature using this
weapon, That creature must succeed on a DC 16
Constitution saving throw or become poisoned for 1 minute.

effects.)

Weapon (Dagger), Rare
"Dagger used by those who lurk in the shadows. Formed by
bending a sword into the shape of a dagger. In Mirrah, the

Those who fled even the order of shadow knights had
rejected all forms of honor, and resorted to unseemly
mercenary work."

one extra damage die for this weapon when landing a critial

parting gift given to one sent off on great travels."

force damage, as blue magic extends the blade with each
attack. Additionally, you can use your INT modifier instead of
STR or DEX when calculating the attack roll and weapon
damage.
