I am currently preparing for a weekend in which me and friends will play DND for 2 days straight, for this I am planning to prepare a longer scale one shot in which they are invited to a banquet organized by an archfey in the feywild. I want to have something happen to them and was thinking to use a blue shadow dragon as the villain for this story. They polymorphed themselves into a human form to sneak into the banquet and take revenge on the feys that trapped them into the shadow veil years ago.
- The one shot should have about 20 hours of play time since it needs to cover 2 full days, the players will be level 17 (I am planning to ban some gamebreaking spells such a wish since its just a one shot idea.)
- I want to still have some character development going on as well
- there are some more experienced players in there and there for I really want to do a good job on dming the Feywild etiques as well as the shadow veil.
- Another problem I found out is that a lot of feywild creatures will be easily annihilated by such a high level party, got any tips on that?
that sounds really cool! If you’re looking for strong fey creatures, then the new eldaine creatures compendium 4 is on ******** for free. It has some powerful fey. Also maybe making a few eladrine, changeling or fairy npcs that have different classes. In feywild their culture is very different. Everyone gives people gifts, and if you receive a gift, you’re in debt to the giver of the gift, unless you give them back something of equal value. I guess there’s a few other things you could do with true names and such, but I’d skip that one. Mostly, when I’ve roleplayed fey, I’ve kinda skipped most of that, and made them people who live life to the fullest and hate getting bored. They think people from the material plane are bored people who hate fun. They are invested in drama, love to roll their eyes, and might try to seduce a party member. Hope this helps, and have fun!
Thank you for the advice, so basically I should play the fey as more of creatures looking for joy and pleasure using their trickery as a way to achieve this? And apply the fey deals and debts system into it?
Also where in the tools should I look for compendium 4 because it is behind a pay wall when I try and look into it via the source material link and the encounter builder!
Thanks for the adivce by the way it is really appreciated
The way you’re thinking of running the fey sounds perfect! As for the compendium, you should try going to a website called ********. If you just search it up on Google it should show up. Then you click the books section on the homepage and if you scroll down, it should pop up.

Hi DM's of dnd beyond,

Thanks in advance for helping out
