Laboratory (5e Equipment)

This page is incomplete and/or lacking flavor. Reason: 1,000 gp seems super cheap, considering that a Trading Post is 5,000 gp. Researching at the laboratory should be presented as a downtime activity (it's possible that this is already covered in the official books, isn't there a Research activity?) The breakthrough table is confusing, is the DC a multiplier? Why do DCs go beyond 30 (impossible)? You can help D&D Wiki by finishing and/or adding flavor to this page.

If you do not understand the idea behind this page please leave comments on this page's talk page before making any edits. Edit this Page | All stubs

Cost: 1000 gp and 500 gp monthly expenses The laboratory is a business that a player can build and own, the main mechanic of the laboratory is scientific breakthroughs which allows a player and a DM to work together to make a new item or technology, at the end of every day you may make a roll d20 + your intelligence + laboratory level the DC being chosen from the table by the DM to see if you or your staff make a breakthrough allowing you to make a new item or technology available to you. This roll cannot be crit failed or succeeded. Upgrades and additional labs can help by increasing your laboratory level Breakthrough table Technology type * DC Basic (example, Creating gunpowder or basic flintlocks) * 15 Advanced (example, Creating the radio and television) * 20 Expert (example, Curing cancer or inventing computers and the internet) * 25 Futuristic (example, learning how to create new alloys like nanocarbon or nanite compounds) * 30 Space Age (example, non-magical constructs like robots and clones or spaceships) * 35 Arcane (example, creating non-magical liminal spaces like the backrooms or antimatter weapons) * 40 Eldritch (example discovering non-magical planar travel or creating magitech) * 45 Upgrades/Additional laboratories General sciences lab: Costs 1000 gp, this is a basic beginning lab that studies the general concepts of life that not many people put thought into in a general day like "why is the sky blue? what is the sun? and how much wood could a wood chuck, chuck if a wood chuck could chuck wood?". +5 to your laboratory level.
