Tower of Tazioc Rules
“The Tower must be solved. Long has it stood over the bottom of the world. Kingdoms have risen and fallen before it and yet it remains. The dweomer that binds those who enter promises power but taxes more than it doles. Even when the Tower itself crumbled, its shadow stood tall and its chambers still opened for those seeking to sacrifice themselves to it. Patrons rise and gather rank to feed more to this arcane edifice. The Tower must be solved.”
Welcome to the Tower of Tazioc, a dungeon delve that combines new- and old-school philosophies! This series combines the loose, wacky nature of a funhouse dungeon with a through-line narrative and challenge to the players to solve this ancient tower's mysteries. Characters start at 1st level to grow in power as they complete chambers in the dungeon but BEWARE! The Tower of Tazioc is ruthless and seeks the souls of those who enter it. Once enough power is gained, a player may choose to retire their character to establish their own House of Patronage to sponsor future characters to take up the call after them.
Guest Characters: Guest players who do not plan on joining the Tower of Tazioc for long term play may create a character at the lowest level present in the session roster. They start with base equipment. Guest Characters do not recieve rewards. Long term players may find reason to play as a guest character as well. If they do so, no rewards are gained and no House of Patronage resources may be used.
Backgrounds: Due to the dungeon-focused nature of the Tower of Tazioc's playstyle, many of the available Background features that provide benefits such as housing, NPC contacts, wilderness exploration, and travel options are unlikely to come up. You may replace your ordinary background feature with a Tazioc Background Features
The Exploration Phase will be the bulk of each session. Within the Nascent Chamber, the heroes will have a selection of magical doors to choose between that will take them to different chambers. The starting doors will be for Tier I characters but players can unlock Tier II,III, and IV doors with special keys found in the tower. Once entered, each Chamber will have a challenge that must be overcome to complete the room. Common objectives will be to eliminate all threats, locate a switch, or solve a puzzle. Most rooms can be exited whether or not complete. Once you leave a room, you will not be able to return to it that day. The most treacherous rooms require you to complete them in order to leave. Keep an eye on the clock! Failing to leave the Tower before the allotted time means death!
The session will end with the Reward Phase where the collected Treasures and XP will be awarded. All players present for the challenges will be awarded the same rewards.
Each room will have a Challenge to be completed in order to gain experience. While a room may have multiple aspects to it such as exploration, combat, roleplay, or the use of skills, each room will have a specific objective to be completed. When a room's objective is completed Below is a nonexhaustive section on Challenge Types that these objectives can fall into. Completing a room's Objective will award the party experience for the room if they all safely return to the Nascent Chamber. When an objective's most basic level is completed, the players will gain the metaknowledge. A Room may have means of gaining further Rewards after that point but they will be informed when the lowest level of success is reached.
A small selection of Room's will have a Termination state. A Termination state is a condition, that if met, prevents the party from completing the Objective for the room. For example, if a stealth-based room requires the party to traverse a courtyard undetected and a hero is spotted, the room may become Terminated.
Puzzle: A puzzle-based room can have an extreme degree of variability. A puzzle challenge will not require the heroes to bring any outside items or spells into the room to complete the puzzle. That said, some puzzles may be impossible to complete if the players do not have the proper perspective or knowledge base. An example of outside knowledge is knowing the difference between a deciduous and coniferous tree. A puzzle that requires outside knowledge can be gained by the players by investigating the environment and asking if specific Skill or Tool Proficiencies (checks or automatic) might be able to give hints. The increased difficulty of Puzzle rooms is offset by their relatively safe nature with fewer ways for the character to be in danger. Many Tier I Puzzles have no way to lose character health or resources outside of player choice.
Proficiency Focus: A Proficiency Focus room is a room meant to highlight a particular Skill Proficiency or Tool Proficiency. Proficiency Focus rooms will usually have some element that is puzzle-like or combat inclusive. The proficiency of choice for the room will either provide a puzzle's answer, decrease the difficulty of a puzzle by a magnitude of difficulty, or be leveraged in the form of ability checks to make a project or combat much more in your favor to win.
Slay All: The simplest of all room challenges, Slay All rooms require the characters to eliminate all threats within the room. While there may be other aspects to the room, those other aspects alter the combat difficulty and are not strictly required to complete the room's objective.
Additionally, the Tower seeks to draw the life force from the Heroes at all times. If a Heroes remains in the Tower beyond the session's allotted time, the Tower will suck the soul from the body in a split moment! Keep an eye on the clock and get yourself out before it's too late. Some chambers are more difficult to escape so it is recommended you plan to leave 15 minutes before the end of the session's set time.
Tier I: 1XP Tier II: 4 XP Tier III: 9 XP Tier IV: 16XP
Extracurricular Experience: Players may earn additional experience for an established character by playing in other Milestone Play one shots and mini-campagins! Time is a limiting factor and I recognize that for every other game I run that is one less Tower of Tazioc for devoted players to grind. 2 XP will be rewarded per oneshot. This was chosen to reward the relatively safe “Two Tier I” rooms that can be expected to be completed without much danger to a character. I do not want to over incentivize attending other games until your character is leveled. It is enough to boost consistent Tazioc players while respecting that not all players will have the time or desire for the other games.
The XP cost to level up is equal to your Current Level + Current Tier.
New characters start with base starting equipment which they choose from the class options or take the Starting Wealth option.
Returning characters may have any improved weapons or armor they have purchased in the past.
When purchasing items for the shop or spending downtime, a player should type out a list of what they are purchasing (specific selections and costs) and post it into the Discord's "Purchase Submissions". This is to make group resources known and easier ledger keeping for the GM post-session.
All Purchases are done during the session’s Logistics Phase.
After completing a room, the Returning Portal should bring the heroes back to the Nascent Chamber though problems or extended challenges have happened in the past. Once back in the Nascent Chamber, heroes may choose to enter another room or retreat from the tower for the day. All players will decide if they wish to continue explorations or not before the transition occurs (players cannot unknowingly be abandoned into a chamber with half the party backing out after they commit).
Not all Portals in the Nascent Chamber may be freely entered. All portals to Tier I rooms begin "Open". Portals to Tier II, III, and IV rooms appear in a Locked state. A Gate Gem of an appropriate tier must be used to Open the Portal. After a portal has been entered, it becomes Closed and cannot be re-entered that session without some means to recreate the portal.
1st Retirement: Establishing a House of Patronage
Tier Requirement: II
The Hero may be retired to establish a growing House of Patronage among the powers that run Tazioc. All funds saved by the retired and future characters will be recorded in the House's Treasury. Additionally, the player unlocks Downtime. While the player's current Hero spends their time between adventures recuperating and preparing, the retired character earns Downtime to be spent during the Logistics Phase. Downtime is awarded synchronously with the real world: for every week that passes, the one week of downtime is accrued.
Steward (Tier II): The House gains a bonus to their Downtime Rate. The first Steward earns +0.5 to increase the rate to 1.5 times real world. Stewards two and three both earn 0.25 to hit a maximum of 2x downtime.
Occupation (Tier II): The Home Base gains a Magical Craftsman as your Hero retires to a background role. Choose an option from the Occupations List that matches a Tool Proficiency that your Hero has. If you choose a Tool Proficiency, all future heroes automatically enter the Tower with the tool set for free.
Class Education (Tier II): Choose one of the Retired Hero's skill or tool proficiency that they gained from their Class. All Heroes from your House of Patronage gain that proficiency in addition to their own. If the Hero already has that proficiency, they instead gain expertise in it.
Class Training (Tier III): Depending on the Class and Subclass of the retired character, all future Heroes gain a set benefit. A House of Patronage may only have a single Class Training for a specific class. A hero that already has a class feature normally (i.e. a level 2 fighter with Action Surge) does not gain a second from Class Training.
Artificer: All of your weapon attacks are treated as magic for overcoming resistances and immunities
Bard: Gain the Jack of All Trades feature.
Barbarian: Once per adventure, you may Rage as the Barbarian feature at your current total level.
Cleric: Once per adventure, you may use the retired character's level 2 archetype Channel Divinity feature at your current total level.

Welcome to the Tower of Tazioc, a dungeon delve that combines new- and old-school philosophies! This series combines the loose, wacky nature of a funhouse dungeon with a through-line narrative and challenge to the players to solve this ancient tower's mysteries. Characters start at 1st level to grow in power as they complete chambers in the dungeon but BEWARE! The Tower of Tazioc is ruthless and seeks the souls of those who enter it. Once enough power is gained, a player may choose to retire their character to establish their own House of Patronage to sponsor future characters to take up the call after them.
Character Creation
Heroes: The protagonists of the Tower of Tazioc are referred to as Heroes. All Heroes start their adventures in the Tower of Tazioc at level 1 with base starting equipment. Use Standard Array or Point Buy for stat generation. All official 5e content is permitted. All heroes will be recorded in the Tazioc Player Heroes & HousesGuest Characters: Guest players who do not plan on joining the Tower of Tazioc for long term play may create a character at the lowest level present in the session roster. They start with base equipment. Guest Characters do not recieve rewards. Long term players may find reason to play as a guest character as well. If they do so, no rewards are gained and no House of Patronage resources may be used.
Backgrounds: Due to the dungeon-focused nature of the Tower of Tazioc's playstyle, many of the available Background features that provide benefits such as housing, NPC contacts, wilderness exploration, and travel options are unlikely to come up. You may replace your ordinary background feature with a Tazioc Background Features
Gameplay Overview
Session Structure
Sessions are allotted four hours on the clock but the active game play will likely be closer to three and a half. All sessions will begin with a Logistics Phase. This is an opportunity for character introductions, discussion of goals for room choices, and making purchases from the shop. The Logistics Phase will be limited to 30 minutes maximum before the party enters the tower for their Exploration Phase.The Exploration Phase will be the bulk of each session. Within the Nascent Chamber, the heroes will have a selection of magical doors to choose between that will take them to different chambers. The starting doors will be for Tier I characters but players can unlock Tier II,III, and IV doors with special keys found in the tower. Once entered, each Chamber will have a challenge that must be overcome to complete the room. Common objectives will be to eliminate all threats, locate a switch, or solve a puzzle. Most rooms can be exited whether or not complete. Once you leave a room, you will not be able to return to it that day. The most treacherous rooms require you to complete them in order to leave. Keep an eye on the clock! Failing to leave the Tower before the allotted time means death!
The session will end with the Reward Phase where the collected Treasures and XP will be awarded. All players present for the challenges will be awarded the same rewards.
Rooms
The different rooms of the Tower of Tazioc are reached by entering portals in the Nascent Chamber. A room's portal in the Nascent Chamber will close after the party goes through, preventing them from repeating the same room on repeat in a given adventuring day. Each room has a unique name that players can use to better understand the room and remember it. Certain names will immediately clue a player into what the room is about while others may help a player to solve the room only after entering it and interacting with its contents. In order to leave the room and return to the Nascent chamber, the hero will have to go through the Return Portal. Many rooms will have an open Return Portal where they enter the room. Other times, returning is more challenging. The Return Portal may be out of sight or it might be closed. A closed portal requires the heroes to complete a fraction of the room's Challenge to open it again. While inside the room, a Return Portal's state of Open or Closed is metaknowledge the players will have whether or not the character can actively see the portal.Each room will have a Challenge to be completed in order to gain experience. While a room may have multiple aspects to it such as exploration, combat, roleplay, or the use of skills, each room will have a specific objective to be completed. When a room's objective is completed Below is a nonexhaustive section on Challenge Types that these objectives can fall into. Completing a room's Objective will award the party experience for the room if they all safely return to the Nascent Chamber. When an objective's most basic level is completed, the players will gain the metaknowledge. A Room may have means of gaining further Rewards after that point but they will be informed when the lowest level of success is reached.
A small selection of Room's will have a Termination state. A Termination state is a condition, that if met, prevents the party from completing the Objective for the room. For example, if a stealth-based room requires the party to traverse a courtyard undetected and a hero is spotted, the room may become Terminated.
Challenge Types
Escape: A room with an Escape objective will have it clearly labeled where the Objectives Not Done/Completed marker usually is. Escape rooms usually require the Heroes to open a closed Return Portal, locate a Return Portal that is out of site, or traverse a dangerous environment to get to a Return Portal. Some Escape rooms will only have the one Return Portal while others will allow you to return the way you entered without completing the objective.Puzzle: A puzzle-based room can have an extreme degree of variability. A puzzle challenge will not require the heroes to bring any outside items or spells into the room to complete the puzzle. That said, some puzzles may be impossible to complete if the players do not have the proper perspective or knowledge base. An example of outside knowledge is knowing the difference between a deciduous and coniferous tree. A puzzle that requires outside knowledge can be gained by the players by investigating the environment and asking if specific Skill or Tool Proficiencies (checks or automatic) might be able to give hints. The increased difficulty of Puzzle rooms is offset by their relatively safe nature with fewer ways for the character to be in danger. Many Tier I Puzzles have no way to lose character health or resources outside of player choice.
Proficiency Focus: A Proficiency Focus room is a room meant to highlight a particular Skill Proficiency or Tool Proficiency. Proficiency Focus rooms will usually have some element that is puzzle-like or combat inclusive. The proficiency of choice for the room will either provide a puzzle's answer, decrease the difficulty of a puzzle by a magnitude of difficulty, or be leveraged in the form of ability checks to make a project or combat much more in your favor to win.
Slay All: The simplest of all room challenges, Slay All rooms require the characters to eliminate all threats within the room. While there may be other aspects to the room, those other aspects alter the combat difficulty and are not strictly required to complete the room's objective.
Rests
The nature of the tower makes resting difficult. A single Short Rest may be taken in the Nascent Chamber between each room exploration. Consequences of failure in certain rooms may effect whether a Short Rest can be taken after the room is exited. Features that allow for a quickened Short Rest such as the Catnap spell or a Genie Warlock’s vessel can be used to Short Rest inside a room. To attempt a Long Rest anywhere in the tower is certain death.Death and the Strife Siphon
The Tower of Tazioc gluttonously feeds upon death within its halls. A hero that dies within a chamber of Tazioc begins the tower's Strife Siphon. If the fallen hero is not revived before leaving the room, the tower writhes with energy as all gathered Rewards are consumed by the tower's fell magic. No Rewards will be granted for this or previously completed rooms during this exploration.Additionally, the Tower seeks to draw the life force from the Heroes at all times. If a Heroes remains in the Tower beyond the session's allotted time, the Tower will suck the soul from the body in a split moment! Keep an eye on the clock and get yourself out before it's too late. Some chambers are more difficult to escape so it is recommended you plan to leave 15 minutes before the end of the session's set time.
Value Decay
In addition to the Strife Siphon above, the tower sucks away the inherent properties of many items brought into the tower. Most items are considered Consumable and if the players don’t use them, the tower will. All purchased items from the Tazioc Store such as potions, tool kits, and supplies are destroyed at the end of the adventure. Weapons, Armor, and Spell Focuses (including bardic instruments) survive the tower. All heroes can start each adventure with an Starting Equipment Pack so those items can functionally be saved over as well.Rewards
Different chambers in the Tower of Tazioc allow for a few different kinds of rewards. All rewards are gathered as a group and awarded in the Reward Phase once adjusted by other factors such as a the Strife Siphon. All collected rewards are recorded in a Google Sheet here Tazioc Resource Ledgerfor clear accounting of income and spending.Treasure
Treasure represents the coins, art, and goods taken from chambers. Characters must discover possible treasure in every room which can either be as simple as looting the dead or as complex as breaking into a vault. Certain rooms have Treasure that can instead be taken in the form of consumable items to be used in the current dungeon run. All Treasure that is collected for it's value is awarded at its base gold value. Treasure can be spent at the shop on Consumable items in the next adventure. Once a player establishes a House of Patronage, they can also use their treasure to build a Home Base for additional benefits.Gate Gems
These arcane crystals act as catalysts to open the greater chambers of Tazioc. Found in lower chambers, they allow heroes to face greater threats in pursuit of greater knowledge. Gate Gems are divided into Tiers II, III, and IV. Portals to Tier II, III, and IV rooms randomly spawn into the Nascent Chamber just like Tier I rooms but are Locked, unable to be entered. In order to enter an upper Tier Room, an appropriate Gate Gem must be expended. A single Gate Gem unlocks the portal for all characters. When Gate Gems are awarded, all characters will receive one.Experience Points (XP)
The act of completing rooms in Tazioc unlocks potential and reveals knowledge to heroes far faster than any other process in the world. At the risk of death, heroes bound to Tazioc can harvest its experience to grow in power rapidly. The amount of XP each room is determined by its tier squared:Tier I: 1XP Tier II: 4 XP Tier III: 9 XP Tier IV: 16XP
Extracurricular Experience: Players may earn additional experience for an established character by playing in other Milestone Play one shots and mini-campagins! Time is a limiting factor and I recognize that for every other game I run that is one less Tower of Tazioc for devoted players to grind. 2 XP will be rewarded per oneshot. This was chosen to reward the relatively safe “Two Tier I” rooms that can be expected to be completed without much danger to a character. I do not want to over incentivize attending other games until your character is leveled. It is enough to boost consistent Tazioc players while respecting that not all players will have the time or desire for the other games.
Experience and Leveling Up:
Upon collecting enough Experience Points, a character may Level Up between adventures into the Tower of Tazioc. Experience Points can be accumulated and then spent for multiple Level-Ups between sessions if desired. Be warned that while lower threat rooms may allow for less dangerous XP gathering, grinding on lesser tiers is a magnitude slower than facing the challenges of a greater tiered room.The XP cost to level up is equal to your Current Level + Current Tier.
Overleveling
The Tower of Tazioc does have adjustments to its rooms for higher tiered heroes than the tier of the room (i.e. a level 11 fighter going into a Tier II room). Despite this, the room will still be easier than a room of the next tier up. The overleveled character should simply be weary of how these additional dangers may affect weaker party members. The additional ogre or room effect may be entirely manageable for you but be deadly for a party member. It becomes your responsibility to deal with the additionsGrinding Levels
The rate of experience given per room versus the amount of XP needed for each level pushes for Heroes to favor exploring rooms of their tier. While it is possible to gain the required XP to reach Level 20 on Tier 1 rooms alone, that would require 236 successful room completions. Put in perspective, even if you averaged 5 rooms per session, that is nearly 50 sessions. Opposite this, deliberately running the exact combination of rooms for each level XP or simply getting to Tier II and then grinding those rooms would only take 66-70 chambers to complete. Averaging only three rooms per session will still take half the amount of sessions to complete as grinding Tier I. While it can be smart to play it safe earlier on in a Tier, the sooner you get the courage to commit to more challenging rooms the faster you will level. Running solely your current Tier’s Rooms can get you to level 20 in as little as 44 rooms but it is significantly riskier. If you can get a party of Tier IV players to safely carry a fresh Hero through Tier IV rooms, it can be done in 15.Ledgers
A public account of all rewards, transactions, and expenditures will be maintained for open book-keeping. The informal book-keeping happens on the Milestone Play RPG Discord server. The Tazioc Category has an area for Player Submissions to post what they are purchasing. These purchases are then confirmed in the Transaction Ledger. The more finalized book-keeping happens here. The Tazioc Player Heroes & Houses shows the current state of player's Active Heroes and links to their House of Patronage. The Tazioc Resource Ledgercontains the specifics of resources gained and spent. In addition to the Logistics phase, players may reach out for purchases between sessions such as leveling up or building out their Home Base. Once a purchase has been confirmed in the Google Sheet, it is final.Entering the Tower: Session Structure
Logistics Phase
The start of each session will have a Logistics Phase where players can purchase items from the shop, spend Downtime if they have it, and plan.New characters start with base starting equipment which they choose from the class options or take the Starting Wealth option.
Returning characters may have any improved weapons or armor they have purchased in the past.
When purchasing items for the shop or spending downtime, a player should type out a list of what they are purchasing (specific selections and costs) and post it into the Discord's "Purchase Submissions". This is to make group resources known and easier ledger keeping for the GM post-session.
Ending the Logistics Phase
Players may end the Logistics Phase as soon as everyone is done with their activities. However, the Logistics Phase has a hard cutoff of 30 minutes after the listed session time. This is to ensure appropriate time in the dungeon. It also acts as a soft reminder to keep your mind on the clock due to the harsh consequences of the Strife Siphon for not being out of the Tower of Tazioc in time.Tazioc Store
Treasure may be spent before an adventure to buy consumables and spell components. All purchasable items can be found in the Tazioc Store. All unused items are lost at the end of the adventure due to the tower’s Value Decay. It is important to use any items that you purchase for maximum efficiency.All Purchases are done during the session’s Logistics Phase.
Exploration Phase
Nascent Chamber
The Nascent Chamber acts as the hub within the Tower of Tazioc where a number of portals to Tier I rooms slowly alternate over time. At the start of each adventure, a set of chambers will be chosen for the heroes to explore. For new adventurers, the chambers will all be unknown. For experienced adventures, some rooms may be revisited. This allows for players to use their past experience to overcome the room more efficiently.After completing a room, the Returning Portal should bring the heroes back to the Nascent Chamber though problems or extended challenges have happened in the past. Once back in the Nascent Chamber, heroes may choose to enter another room or retreat from the tower for the day. All players will decide if they wish to continue explorations or not before the transition occurs (players cannot unknowingly be abandoned into a chamber with half the party backing out after they commit).
Not all Portals in the Nascent Chamber may be freely entered. All portals to Tier I rooms begin "Open". Portals to Tier II, III, and IV rooms appear in a Locked state. A Gate Gem of an appropriate tier must be used to Open the Portal. After a portal has been entered, it becomes Closed and cannot be re-entered that session without some means to recreate the portal.
Reward Phase
At the end of the session, all relevant rewards will be confirmed. Players may immediately spend XP to level up, spend treasure on building or expanding their Home Base, or choose to retire characters. Once these purchases are confirmed in the Ledgers the selection is permanent. If these actions have not be thought about, players are encouraged to take some time contemplate them. You can always reach out between sessions or wait until your next session's Logistics Phase to take these actions along with purchasing equipment and spending Downtime.Outside the Tower
Retirement
Upon reaching Tier II and above, a character may be retired from the Tower of Tazioc to gain certain benefits for the player. Any player may retire their first Hero once they hit Tier II (Level 5). Additional Heroes may be retired after a "Manor Expansion" is built (See Home Base for more details).1st Retirement: Establishing a House of Patronage
Tier Requirement: II
The Hero may be retired to establish a growing House of Patronage among the powers that run Tazioc. All funds saved by the retired and future characters will be recorded in the House's Treasury. Additionally, the player unlocks Downtime. While the player's current Hero spends their time between adventures recuperating and preparing, the retired character earns Downtime to be spent during the Logistics Phase. Downtime is awarded synchronously with the real world: for every week that passes, the one week of downtime is accrued.
Secondary Retirements
After retiring your first character, future characters may be retired into your House of Patronage to further build it up. For every "Manor Expansion" Home Base upgrade purchased (see the "Home Base" section below), you may retire an additional Hero. The benefit that Secondary Retirement provides is chosen at the time of their retirement. Each benefit has a required Tier that the Hero must be. When Retiring a multiclassed character, the class they have more levels in is considered their main class. If there is a tie, it is the class they started with.Steward (Tier II): The House gains a bonus to their Downtime Rate. The first Steward earns +0.5 to increase the rate to 1.5 times real world. Stewards two and three both earn 0.25 to hit a maximum of 2x downtime.
Occupation (Tier II): The Home Base gains a Magical Craftsman as your Hero retires to a background role. Choose an option from the Occupations List that matches a Tool Proficiency that your Hero has. If you choose a Tool Proficiency, all future heroes automatically enter the Tower with the tool set for free.
Class Education (Tier II): Choose one of the Retired Hero's skill or tool proficiency that they gained from their Class. All Heroes from your House of Patronage gain that proficiency in addition to their own. If the Hero already has that proficiency, they instead gain expertise in it.
Class Training (Tier III): Depending on the Class and Subclass of the retired character, all future Heroes gain a set benefit. A House of Patronage may only have a single Class Training for a specific class. A hero that already has a class feature normally (i.e. a level 2 fighter with Action Surge) does not gain a second from Class Training.
Artificer: All of your weapon attacks are treated as magic for overcoming resistances and immunities
Bard: Gain the Jack of All Trades feature.
Barbarian: Once per adventure, you may Rage as the Barbarian feature at your current total level.
Cleric: Once per adventure, you may use the retired character's level 2 archetype Channel Divinity feature at your current total level.
