Arcane Study 

Construction Cost: 5'000 GP

Prerequisite:  Ability to use an Arcane Focus or a tool as a Spellcasting Focus

Space: Roomy

Hirelings: 1

Order: Craft

An Arcane Study is a place of quiet research that contains one or more desks and bookshelves.

Arcane Study Charm.  After spending a Long Rest in your Bastion, you gain a magical Charm that lasts until you use it. When concentrating on a spell and casting another spell that requires concentration, you can use the Charm to concentrate on both. If forced to make a concentration check to maintain the spell, you roll this for each spell individually.

Arcane Accoutrements. While in this extension you can ritually cast all spells with the ritual tag in half the usual time. Any spell that requires material components with a gold cost only are half as cheap. If you lack a material component, your hireling can procure it for you (unless it is very rare). While in this extension, have advantage on all rolls required by rituals.

Craft Options.  When you issue the Craft order to this facility, choose one of the following options:

Craft: Arcane Focus. You commission the facility’s hireling to craft an Arcane Focus. The work takes 7 days and costs no money. The Arcane Focus remains in your Bastion until you claim it.

Craft: Book. You commission the facility’s hireling to craft a blank book. The work takes 7 days and costs you 10 GP. The book remains in your Bastion until you claim it.

Craft: Magic Item (Arcana). If you are level 9+, you can commission the facility’s hireling to craft a Common or an Uncommon magic item chosen by you from the Arcana tables in chapter 7 (DMG). The facility has the tool required to craft the item, and the hireling has proficiency with that tool as well as proficiency in the Arcana skill. See the “Crafting Magic Items” section in chapter 7 for the time and money that must be spent to craft the item. If the item allows its user to cast any spells from it, you must craft the item yourself (the facility’s hireling can assist), and you must have all those spells prepared every day you spend crafting the item.

Alchemist's Lab

Construction Cost: 2'000 GP

Prerequisite: None

Space: Roomy

Hirelings: 1

Order: Craft

A Laboratory contains storage space for alchemical supplies and workspaces for crafting various concoctions. This room comes equipped with alchemist's supplies, a poisoner's kit, and an herbalism kit that are all inherently part of its architecture. As such, each of these sets of tools is always considered to be present here.

Craft Options. When you issue the Craft order to this facility, choose one of the following options:

Craft: Alchemist’s Supplies. The facility’s hireling crafts anything that can be made with Alchemist’s Supplies, Poisoner's Kit, or Herbalism Kit using the rules in the Player’s Handbook.

Craft: Poison. You commission the facility’s hireling to craft a vial containing one application of a poison. The poison must be one of the following: Burnt Othur Fumes, Essence of Ether, or Torpor. This work finishes on the next Bastion Turn, and you must pay half the poison’s cost.

Archive

Construction Cost: 10'000 GP

Prerequisite: None

Space: Roomy

Hirelings: 1

Order: Research

An Archive is a repository of valuable books, maps, and scrolls. It is usually attached to a Library behind a locked or secret door.

Research: Helpful Lore. When you issue the Research order to this facility, you commission the facility’s hireling to search the Archive for helpful lore. The work takes 7 days. The hireling gains knowledge as if they had cast the Legend Lore spell, then shares this knowledge with you the next time you speak with them.

Reference Book. Your Archive contains one copy of a rare and valuable reference book, which gives you a benefit while you and the book are in your Bastion. You can choose one of the following options (your DM might make more options available):

Bigby’s Handy Arcana Codex. You have Advantage on any Intelligence (Arcana) check you make when you take the Study action to recall lore about spells, magic items, eldritch symbols, magical traditions, and planes of existence.

The Chronepsis Chronicles. You have Advantage on any Intelligence (History) check you make when you take the Study action to recall lore about historical events, legendary people, ancient kingdoms, past disputes, wars, and lost civilizations.

Investigations of the Inquisitive. You have Advantage on any Intelligence (Investigation) check you make when you take the Study action to make deductions based on clues or evidence or to recall lore about traps, ciphers, riddles, and gadgetry.

Ballroom

Construction Cost: 5'000 GP

Prerequisite: None

Space: Roomy

Hirelings: 1

Order: Research

A Ballroom is a beautifully furnished and decorated space meant to host lavish parties. To many, this might seem like a needless indulgence; they do not understand that a Ballroom is a social battlefield, and owning one gives its master the home advantage. The facility’s hireling, who serves as the master of ceremonies, maintains a network of influential guests, with friends in even higher places.

Research: Idle Gossip. When you issue the Research order to this facility, you commission the Ballroom’s master of ceremonies to gather information from their social network about a specific creature’s history, reputation, schedules, or plans. The master of ceremonies’ network specializes in influential people, and will likely have little knowledge of monsters unless they are particularly involved in politics. The creature in question must be located within 20 miles of your Bastion for the next 7 days. During that time, these spies can also spread a rumor of your choosing about a creature that is familiar to you, provided that creature is within 60 miles of your Bastion.

Hosting. The Ballroom is always ready to throw one type of ball, which, when hosted, gives you a benefit while you are in your Bastion. Only one Ball can be hosted during a Bastion turn. When you build this facility, choose one of the following options:

• Banquet. You have advantage on all Strength (Athletics) checks.

• Ceremony. The spell Ceremony is cast over any creature attending the ball. You choose the type of ceremony and the target.

• Concert. You have advantage on all Charisma (Performance) checks.

• Masquerade. You have advantage on all Charisma (Deception) checks.

• Reception. You have advantage on all Charisma (Persuasion) checks.

• Family Dinner. You and up to 4 allies of your choice are given the benefit of a Potion of Heroism for the next 24 hours.

After you host a ball, you can ready the Ballroom for a different type of ball. That option then becomes available for the next Bastion turn. Additionally, at your DM’s discretion, you may be able to invite specific NPCs to balls, where they might be more likely to have a conversation with you.

Enlarging the Facility. You can enlarge your Ballroom to a Vast facility by spending 2,000 GP. If you do so, the Ballroom can host two types of balls from the list above instead of one, and you can change one or both after hosting a ball. You are only able to host one ball per Bastion turn.

Cabinet of Curiosities

Construction Cost: 5'000 GP 

Prerequisite: None

Space: Cramped

Hirelings: 1

Order: Harvest

A Cabinet of Curiosities, also known as a kunstkammer or a wonder room, is a space that houses a highly curated collection of objects of interest to those with exacting eyes. The facility’s hireling, who serves as the curator of the collection, maintains the selection contained within the Cabinet of Curiosities, ensuring its correct conservation, display, and, most importantly, its growth.

Choose the type of collection you are curating from the options below.

• Armor and Vestments. You collect highly specific pieces of fashion and equipment that can be worn, such as magic items with the “armor” or “shield” tag.

• Spell Scrolls and Books. You collect historically significant writings or magically infused scrolls, such as magic items with the “scroll” tag.

• Weapons and Wands. You collect highly specific pieces of weaponry, such as magic items with the “simple weapon”, "martial weapon", or “wand” tags.

• Wondrous Items. You collect items infused with magic or one-of-a-kind historical artifacts, such as magic items with the “wondrous item” tag.

Lock and Key. While the Cabinet of Curiosities exists, all entries into the facility are under the spell Arcane Lock. You can choose either to set a password that allows entry into the Cabinet of Curiosities when spoken, or to select a number of creatures that can enter the Cabinet of Curiosities freely. You must be in the Bastion to change the password or allow entry to a new creature. The hireling associated with this facility must have access to it to perform any of your orders.

Harvest: Magic Item. When you issue the Harvest order to this facility, you commission your hireling to contact sellers, bounty hunters, and other collectors to find new items for your specific collection. Roll a percentile die to determine the result:

The DM chooses which magic item the hireling finds. The magic item remains in the Cabinet of Curiosities until you claim it.

Work your Network. You can work alongside your hireling to locate a specific object that would fit in your collection over a period of 7 days. If you leave the Bastion during this time, you gain no benefit. Otherwise, at the end of the seventh day, you can make a DC 15 Intelligence (History) check. On a success, your network of contacts tells you the general location of the object you’re looking for, such as the specific city where it's located. If the object is in a creature’s possession, you also learn their name.

Enlarging the Facility. You can enlarge your Cabinet of Curiosities to a Roomy facility by spending 2'500 GP. If you do so, you expand your collection to contain one additional type of objects from the list above.

Fruits that aren’t eaten within 24 hours of being picked lose their magic. The plant replaces all picked fruits daily at dawn, and it can’t be transplanted without killing it.

Harvest Options. When you issue the Harvest order to this facility, choose one of the following options:

Beseech an Otherworldly Being. You can use this room to invoke a powerful entity, beseeching it for aid or knowledge. When you cast the Contact Other Plane or Scrying spell in this room, you have advantage on the Intelligence saving throw required by contact other plane, and a creature targeted by the scrying spell has disadvantage on its Wisdom saving throw.

Invoked Charm. After spending a Long Rest in your Observatory, you gain a magical Charm that lasts until you use it. The Charm allows you to cast Contact Other Plane or Scrying without expending a spell slot. You can’t gain this Charm again while you still have it.

Empower: Tame. When you issue the Empower order to this facility, you can have your hirelings begin to tame a creature there. Choose a creature in your menagerie then roll 1d10 and note the number. You can issue this order multiple times on the same creature and when the total number rolled is equal to or higher than the creature's CR times 10, it is tamed and becomes friendly to you and your allies. A friendly creature still takes up a spot in your menagerie (or in your stable if your Bastion has one).

With the DM’s consent, you can add different creatures than those shown in the Menagerie Creatures table to your Menagerie. The cost of a creature depends on its Challenge Rating, as shown on the Creature Costs by Challenge Rating table.

As with the gate spell, deities and other planar rulers can deny a portal's creation in their realm or presence.

These portals can only be destroyed with a casting of dispel magic at 7th-level or higher, or with the destruction of this room or the Bastion itself. If the room and structure still stand, a destroyed portal will be reformed after two Bastion Turns, leading to a location chosen by the owners of this structure.

This room is equipped for non-magical humanoids, and will not thwart magical attempts at escape.

Empower: Interrogation. When you issue the Empower order to this facility, you instruct your hirelings to work on one prisoner. Choose one creature imprisoned within the jails to make a Charisma or Wisdom saving throw (its choice) against a DC of 15. On a failure, that creature truthfully answers up to 1d4 questions you or your hireling asks it, as long as the creature and you or your hireling share at least one language. If you are away from your Bastion, you must have a way of communicating your questions to your hireling in order for them to be asked.

Pub

Construction Cost: 2'000 GP 

Prerequisite: None

Space: Roomy or Vast

Hirelings: 1 or 4

Folks come here to consume tasty beverages and socialize. Your Pub might be a bar, coffee shop, or tea room, and it might have a colourful name, such as the Rusty Flagon or the Dragon’s Loft. The facility’s hireling, who serves as the bartender, maintains a network of spies scattered throughout nearby communities. These spies are useful sources of information and frequent the Pub, often incognito.

Research: Information Gathering. When you issue the Research order to this facility, you commission the Pub’s bartender to gather information from spies who are aware of all important events happening within 20 miles (or the local region) of your Bastion until the next Bastion Turn. During that time, these spies can divulge the location of any creature that is familiar to you, provided the creature is within 50 miles of your Bastion and not hidden by magic or confined to a location that the DM deems is beyond the spy network’s ability to locate. If the spies learn the target’s location, they also learn where that creature has been since the previous Bastion Turn.

Trade: Happy Hour. When you issue the Trade order to this facility, the Pub’s bartender focuses their efforts on attracting patrons, and you earn 2d6 x 10 GP. A vast pub generates 4d6 x 10 GP

Enlarging the Facility. You can enlarge your Pub by spending 5'000 GP. If you do so, the Pub gains the Pub Special. You can enlarge once more to make your Pub vast and to have two magical beverages from the Pub Special list on tap at a time. A Vast Pub gains three additional hirelings, for a total of four. These new hirelings are servers. Assign names and personalities to them as you see fit.

Pub Special. The Pub has one magical beverage on tap, chosen from the options below:

• Bigby’s Burden. Drinking a pint of this beverage grants you the “enlarge” effect of an Enlarge/Reduce spell that has a duration of 24 hours (no saving throw allowed).

• Kiss of the Spider Queen. Drinking a pint of this beverage grants you the effect of a Spider Climb spell that has a duration of 24 hours.

• Positive Reinforcement. Drinking a pint of this beverage gives you Resistance to Necrotic damage for 24 hours.

• Sterner Stuff. For 24 hours after drinking a pint of this beverage, you automatically succeed on saving throws to avoid or end the Frightened condition.

At the start of a Bastion turn, you can switch to one of the other options. Your DM may create new options. A pint of this magical beverage loses its magic 24 hours after it’s poured.

The talisman usually takes the form of an amulet, a rune-carved box, or a statuette, but it can be any Tiny, nonmagical object that has religious significance. The work finishes on the next Bastion Turn and costs no money. You can use this talisman in place of one spell’s Material components, provided the components have a cost of 1,000 GP or less. If the spell normally consumes its components, the talisman isn’t consumed. After the talisman has been used in this way, it can’t be used again until you return it to your Reliquary and use another Harvest order to prepare it.

Rookery

Construction Cost: 2'000 GP 

Prerequisite: None

Space: Cramped

Hirelings: 1

The cawing of crows and ravens fills the air here, creating a dissonant chorus in this place of communication.

This room houses 5 crows, ravens, pigeons, owls, hawks, or similar birds. While in this room, a creature can attach a message to one of these birds and give it instructions for delivery. This acts identically to a casting of the Animal Messenger spell, except that the message is written, not spoken, can be up to 50 words, is delivered in the form of a tiny scroll, and has a duration of 100 hours. As such, the bird can reach 200 miles, travelling 50 miles each 24 hours.

Rookery Charm. After spending a Long Rest in your Bastion, you gain a magical Charm that lasts until you use it. As an action, you can expend the charm to summon one of the Rookery's messenger birds to you.

You can spend GP during the creation process to increase the potency of the Holy Water. For every 50 GP you spend, up to a maximum of 500 GP, the damage dealt by the Holy Water increases by 1d8.

Craft: Magic Item (Relic). You commission the facility’s hireling to craft a Common or an Uncommon magic item chosen by you from the Relics tables in chapter 7 (DMG). The facility has the tool required to craft the item, and the hireling has proficiency with that tool as well as proficiency in the Arcana skill. See the “Crafting Magic Items” section in chapter 7 for the time and money that must be spent to craft the item. If the item allows its user to cast any spells from it, you must craft the item yourself (the facility’s hireling can assist), and you must have all those spells prepared every day you spend crafting the item.

Spell Refreshment. Having a Sacristy allows you to regain one expended spell slot of level 5 or lower after spending an entire Short Rest in your Bastion. You can’t gain this benefit again until you finish a Long Rest.

Icons of your religion are displayed in this facility, which includes a quiet place for worship.

Hallowed. The Bastion this extension is in is affected by a version of the Hallow spell with a permanent duration, the details of which are decided upon when the construction of this room is completed. The dispel magic spell can end this effect only if cast as an 7th-level spell or higher. If the room and structure still stand, the structure will again be affected by Hallow after two Bastion Turns, its details again decided by you. If the Hallow spell is cast within this room, its effect is extended to encompass the entire Castle for the duration.

Religion checks made here that deal with the lore surrounding the deity, philosophy, or religion the sanctuary is associated with have advantage.

Sanctuary Charm. After spending a Long Rest in your Bastion, you gain a magical Charm that lasts until you use it. If you are a Cleric or a Paladin, you can expend the Charm when using your Channel Divinity feature to heal all allies within 30 feet of you by a number of d8 equal to your proficiency bonus. If you are not a Cleric or Paladin, you can use this Charm for the same effect when casting a spell using your highest level spell slot.

Craft: Sacred Focus. When you issue the Craft order to this facility, you commission the facility’s hireling to craft a Druidic Focus (wooden staff) or a Holy Symbol. The work finishes on the next Bastion Turn and costs no money. The item remains in your Bastion until you claim it.

When you kill a creature, you can spend 10 minutes to take a trophy of it, such as its head, horns, or pelt. Your trophy room can house any number of trophies.

Research: Lore. You commission the facility’s hireling to research a topic of your choice. The topic can be a legend, any kind of creature, or a famous object. The topic need not be directly related to items on display in the room, as the trophies provide clues to research a wide variety of other subjects. The work finishes on the next Bastion Turn.
