Bubblegum

Bubblegum Grunge    Player Handbook    Player Options    Power Systems      Bubblegum

A bubblegum functions similar to a consumable magic item found in standard Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition, with a noticeable difference: Once a bubblegum is consumed, the effects and its curse are both permanent on the consumer, and these powers can grow as the creature gains power and uses its gum abilities.

Gum Points

Gum points represent a creature's limited pool of physical energy used to activate invocations. Once a creature exhausts their gum points, they can still choose to fight, but each invocation activation will incur increasing levels of exhaustion. This forces a strategic choice: continue the fight with diminishing returns, or retreat to recover. Each night when the moon becomes visible, you regain all of your gum points.

Creating a Bubblegum

Due to the infinite possibilities for creating bubblegum, dungeon masters and players may work together to design them from whatever concept they might have. A few examples will be given in this document, as well as general guidelines on creating and designing bubblegum.
Bubblegum bestow extraordinary powers upon those daring enough to swallow them, are a rare and coveted creation. Crafted through an intricate alchemical process, these enchanted gum balls require a careful combination of unique ingredients. However, rumors abound of adventurers stumbling upon forgotten stashes of these bubblegum in the most unexpected corners of the world.

Recipe

Gumweed Extract

Gather gumweed plants and extract the chicle. Quantity: 1/4 cup of gumweed extract.

Iron Essence

Use iron cauldron or add iron dust as needed. Quantity: 1 teaspoon of iron dust or equivalent iron cauldron infusion.

Powerful Catalyst

Choose an item or ingredient representing the desired power. Example: Salt crystals, Labilia essence, etc. Quantity: 1 tablespoon of the chosen catalyst.

Essence of Willpower

Obtain a lock of human hair to imbue the gum with willpower essence. Quantity: 1 lock of human hair.

Solvent Mixture

Choose an edible solvent: Water - 1 tablespoon, Ethanol (Food-Grade) - 1 teaspoon, Isopropyl Alcohol (Food-Grade) - 1/2 teaspoon

Instructions:

1. Combine the gumweed extract, iron essence, and chosen catalyst in a heat-resistant container.
2. Infuse the mixture with the essence of willpower by adding the lock of human hair.
3. Gradually mix in the edible solvent mixture, rising continuously to form a consistent blend.
4. Apply heat as needed, using caution to avoid boiling or overheating the mixture.
5. Allow the concoction to cool and solidify into a malleable gum-like substance.
6. Mold the cooled mixture into a single gum ball.
7. Store the special bubblegum in a cool, dry place until ready for use.

Conceptual Design

The first step to designing a bubblegum is to determine what kind of powers it bestows upon the swallower, and what kind of bubblegum these powers are best represented by. For example, the fire gum transforms the wielder into living fire, able to not only generate powerful flame bursts but also turn into fire to avoid physical attacks. Bubblegum come in three distinct types determined by the nature of the powers they bestow upon the swallower, each gum falling into one of these categories.

Bubblegum Power Levels

Bubblegum are greatly varied in the level of power they bestow upon the swallower, with some being considered weaker while others are so powerful that legends surround them. As a rule of thumb, Fabulaia are considered the weakest, while Labilia and Mythological Sivel gums are considered the absolutely strongest. As a result, the latter are powers that, if made readily available in low-tier games, could dramatically shift the power dynamic of a group, and DMs should exercise caution in handing these types of bubblegum out to players

Fabulaia

Show spoiler

Fabulaia type gums represent the most diverse and prevalent category of bubblegum, encompassing a wide range of otherworldly abilities and traits that affect both the physical and mental realms. This broad classification includes several distinct subtypes, each with its own unique characteristics.
The first subtype, known as body alterers, enables users to transform their bodies into various substances. This can include materials like rubber or weapons such as blades, allowing for significant versatility in both offense and defense. Those who swallow Fabulaia Body Alterer type gums start out with 20 Gum Points.
The second subtype, called substance generators, grants users the ability to create specific materials or forces. Examples include the generation of substances like wax or soap, as well as forces such as shockwaves or magnetism. Those who swallow Fabulaia Substance Generator type gums start out with 30 Gum Points.
The final subtype within the Fabulaia category is environment alterers. These gums can manipulate the properties of their surroundings or even affect individuals directly. For instance, an environment alterer might emit a beam that slows down time for a target or petrifies them into stone. Those who swallow Fabulaia Environment Alterer type gums start out with 30 Gum Points.
When a bubblegum does not fit into the Labilia or Sivel categories, it is classified as Fabulaia. Although Fabulaia gums offer a range of transformative and generative abilities, they do not provide the same level of damage immunity as Labilia gums. Similarly, while some Fabulaia gums allow for transformation into a substance, they do not grant the inherent immunities that come with being that substance, nor do they offer immunity from damage when generating substances.

Sivel

Show spoiler

Sivel type gums offer a more straightforward approach compared to Fabulaia or Labilia type gums, adhering to a consistent formula. These gums grant the user the ability to shapeshift into specific forms, which can range from mythological humanoids and vehicles to objects, in addition to animals. The transformation allows users to gain the inherent abilities and traits associated with their chosen form.
In their transformed state, Sivel type users can take on the full attributes and weaknesses of their chosen form. For example, when assuming a mythological creature’s shape, they inherit all its mystical powers and vulnerabilities. When shifting into a vehicle or object, they gain the relevant functionality and characteristics of that form, along with any associated limitations. In hybrid forms, users combine the attributes of their chosen form with their humanoid features, blending their new powers with their existing capabilities. Each Sivel type gum can feature variations, allowing users to select from a range of forms within the same category, whether those forms are animalistic, mythological, mechanical, or even inanimate. Those who swallow Sivel type gums start out with 20 Gum Points.
For example, the cat gum exists in multiple versions, from leopard to lion to cheetah to common calico housecats. Each such Sivel type is a unique gum, and several subtypes can exist at the same time. Typically, only normal animals are represented in Sivel type gums, however there exists two distinct and extremely rare variants of Sivel gums, known as ancient and mythical Sivel gums. The former lets the user transform into extinct races such as dinosaurs, while the latter lets them take on the shape of mythical beasts such as the dragon or the phoenix.
Weaker animals like raccoons, cayotes, spiders, ravens, possums, etc may not be the most highly sought out gum because of their early level weakness compared to larger and stronger animals, but these animals can unlock a trickster form that let's them alter their environment upon rising.
A curious case with Sivel type bubblegum is the ability to "feed" them to inanimate objects, such as weapons or teapots, creating animal-object hybrids with sentience. The exact process is currently unknown and was developed by the WhiteWaters Group, however it is a widespread enough practice to appear across Parimoor, though in a very limited scope.

Labilia

Show spoiler

The Labilia type is characterized by giving its user the ability to become, create, and control an element, material, substance, or medium or force of nature. If all three of these requirements are not met, then the bubblegum cannot be classified as a Labilia type. Bubblegum that allow the user to create and control poison, wax, or any other substance that do not allow the user's body itself to transform into that element, material, substance, or medium itself are classified under Fabulaia.
Likewise if the bubblegum changes the properties of the user's body to a specific element, material, substance, or medium but doesn't allow for the creation and manipulation of similar element, material, substance, or mediums, a gum is also classified as Fabulaia over Labilia. The most powerful ability of a Labilia gum is the power of intangibility and reformation. As Labilia user can transform completely into the element, material, substance, or medium of their bubblegum, they become almost invulnerable to most conventional forms of damage.
Even if their element, material, substance, or medium is a typical solid, like steel or diamond, they can still reform if broken apart. Even decapitation or other forms of limb loss are inconsequential setbacks at best to Labilia gum users. The only way to directly harm a Labilia gum user is to either find an element, material, substance, or medium that directly opposes or overpowers their's, such as water opposing sand or magma burning hotter than fire, or by using willpowers which are extremely rare on the streets of parimoor. The opposite weakness is the most common and accessible way of battling Labilia gum users, if one can only figure out what it is. Those who swallow Labilia type gums start out with 20 Gum Points.
Additionally, Labilia gum users still lose the ability to act or transform while in contact with iron, like all other forms of bubblegum users. Labilia gums are thus rightfully considered the most powerful of all bubblegum, and a single Labilia gum user can easily overpower scores of common soldiers without effort.

Mechanical Design

Once you have decided on a concept and type for a bubblegum, it's time to determine what powers it is capable of and how the gum's powers can be progressed as you play the game.

Determining Bubblegum Ability

Show spoiler

Bubblegum are widely varied in powers and abilities. Some rely heavily on the wielder's physical constitution and speed, while others allow the projection of energies completely unrelated to the swallower's body. When creating a bubblegum, follow these guidelines for determining the options available for choice as a Bubblegum Ability.

Physically Dependent Bubblegum

Bubblegum that grant abilities that are heavily dependent on physical ability, such as constitution, power, skill or aim, should have the option of using either Motorics or Constitution as its bubblegum ability. Some Fabulaia and most all Sivel gums fall under this category. Example Gumballs - Dice-dice gum, spike-spike gum, cat-cat gums, dog-dog gums

Physically Independent Bubblegum

Bubblegum that grants abilities that project energy from the body or create effects independent of the user, such as energy projection or object creation, should have the option of using either Intelligence or Psyche as its bubblegum ability. Some Fabulaia, Mythological Sivel and all Labilia gums fall under this category. Example Gumballs - Op-op gum, slow-slow gum, flare-flare gum, bird-bird gum model: Phoenix

The Curse of Bubblegum Powers

Show spoiler

The one common denominator between all bubblegum is the curse they bestow upon whoever eats them, forever robbing the swallower of the ability submerge yourself in water. When you eat a bubblegum, you permanently gain the following negative effects:

• Your stomach is permanently etched with a bubble mark. Bubble marks leave an irregular circular mark on your abdomen that others can use to identify you as a gum user.
• You permanently lose any ability to submerge yourself in water and must carry or wear specific weights to stay submerged in water. Without these weights, you naturally float on the water's surface due to the buoyancy enchantment. The use of counterweights becomes essential to avoid unintentional floating and navigate the challenges posed by this magical condition
• If you come into contact with iron or willpower, you suffer disadvantage on all attack rolls and ability checks until contact is broken, and for the duration your speed is halved. Additionally, you must succeed on a DC 15 Constitution saving throw or become incapacitated for the duration. You can repeat this saving throw at most once every hour, ending the incapacitated effect on a successful save

Eclipsing

Show spoiler

Eclipsing is a rare and transformative state that occurs when a gum user pushes their cursed gumball’s power to its absolute limit, breaking through the boundaries of what is normally possible. This state is not just about raw power—it’s about transcendence, where the user and their gum become one in a way that defies understanding. In this state, the user’s abilities are amplified to an extraordinary degree, often manifesting in ways that seem almost divine.
Below, you’ll notice that many invocations have a required gumball type. These requirements help define and categorize the inherent limits of each gumball’s abilities. However, when a gum user reaches level 12, they achieve the Eclipsed state. Eclipsed users transcend the typical boundaries of their gumball type, gaining the ability to perform feats that would normally be impossible for their category. For example, an Environment Alterer might unlock a powerful special attack, while a Body Alterer could learn to manipulate the environment around them. This is also where Sivel-type gumball users, who typically focus on precision and control, might gain access to elemental attacks—abilities usually reserved for Labilia or Substance Generator types. Similarly, Labilia-type users, known for their fluid and adaptable powers, might develop the ability to permanently reshape the environment around them, elevating them to the status of mythical figures in the process. Eclipsing represents the pinnacle of a gum user’s journey, where the lines between gumball types blur, and the impossible becomes achievable.

Invocations

In this world, cursed bubblegum is a rare and mysterious substance, crafted through unknown means and imbued with strange, otherworldly properties. When someone swallows one of these gumballs, it binds to them, granting a specific set of powers based on the gum’s "flavor."

Any gum user could potentially learn a way to boost or lower their own skills. Fabulaia environment alterers are the only type who can boost an ally's skills. Labilia, Fabulaia environment alterers, and Sivel type gumballs can all lower an enemy target's skills. This could look like a labilia sapping the strength from their target, an environment alterer hamstringing their target, or a special sivel type that can posion their target as examples.

When the target and their weapons are altered in size, the damage dealt by the target’s attacks with those weapons is calculated as 1d4 multiplied by the difference in size compared to their standard size. This means the damage can vary, but it cannot be reduced below 1. For example at size difference -3, the target is the size of a mouse, and their attacks deal -3d4 less damage than at their standard size.
The effect lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it as a bonus action.
