Item Idea
Legendary Sponge
Description: a yellow square sponge, it looks like any other normal sponge except that it won’t suffer from any environmental effects, not even the loss of water or the rising of temperatures.
Functionality: Grants the holder with resistance to cold, lightning, thunder and fire damage. Does not stack with other spells or items.
Inspiration: Now there is @markrosewater
I would have GREATLY preferred the Spongebob creatures be original designs. As funny as Squidward being a "Horror" is it is absolutely disappointing to see Spongebob be a Human and not a Sponge
There are no legendary Sponges.
Character Idea
50s/60s Bard
Description: A bard with the charisma of a frontman of a 50s/60s rock band. The mythical Bard²
Inspiration: It appeared in my mind while listening to Be Bop a Lula, because I’m old inside and I like that era of music
Side Plot Idea
(A mini plot, since your players will not follow the main one, that you can use to guide your players to follow the main one)
Poly-wrath
Description: The party antagonised/had a fight with/stole from an NPC, unfortunately for them, that NPC is not a god or the BBEG (those are common things for Adventurers), no that NPC is actually in a polyamorous relationship with A LOT of people, who all treat the NPC like a teddy bear, and when they hear how the players treated their favourite teddy bear, they will be sure to make them regret it.
Functionality: Maybe not all the partners are adventurers/warriors, so the majority of them will not directly attack the players (or maybe the NPC asked them not to and they reluctantly promised). Put them as the tavern’s owner, so the players will either prohibited to enter or would find their stay very uncomfortable (keep it fun tho, it needs to hurt the character not the player); or maybe one of them is a wagon driver and takes the players for a low price ( “A discount for the pretty lady” or “Because you’re a lot I’ll give you a discount” but in this last case be sure to give the players a chance to someone who doesn’t want to give them the discount and to someone who wants, aka the NPC’s partner) but instead of taking them where they wanted they “lost the way” or maybe leaves the party there after having sent camp for the night (maybe also giving the players only a short rest if you make that the Wagon driver offers to do the first round of guarding to “take care of the horses in the meantime”)

Spell Idea
RePain
Functionality: Reproduce the last damage that the creature has suffered, it doesn’t function if the last hit failed, didn’t deal damage or was another RePain.
If the last attack required a save throw the creature targeted automatically fails (because it rolls the same number of the last time)
If the last attack was boosted by rage, or other mechanics player-based, the boost still applies. If the boost was due to some magic items that the RePain caster doesn’t have or isn’t affected by, the boost doesn’t applies, but the owner of the item can use a bonus action to throw the item (with advantage) to the RePain caster (the throw can happen on the attacker turn, taking their bonus action, or on the caster’s turn, taking their bonus action even if it’s the attacker who throws the item)
The spell fails if the last attack was 1 hour before the casting of RePain or if the player casting it wasn’t in a 50ft radius of the damage being dealed.
If the amount of damage dealt in the attack was reduced by any item/spell/etc that the enemy used the RePain spell will deal the normal amount of damage.
The RePain spell can’t be redirectionated towards the caster nor the original attacker.
The RePain spell doesn’t heal the player casting it if the original attack counted a heal on the attacker, but it does heal the original attacker by the same amount.
The RePain can be used as a cantrip or as a level 1 spell, when used as a cantrip it cant reproduce the same attack (ex: sword attack by player A, dagger by player B, fireball by player C, Eldritch Blast by player C, etc etc) twice (the OG attacker can be the same tho). When used as a level 1 spell it can, so an Eldritch Blast spammer can be “helped” by a RePain lvl1 spammer.
The RePain spell doesn’t replicate non-damaging spells (Minor Illusion, Charm Person).
If the bonus effect (blind, charmed, paralysed) of the last damage-dealing attack is already gone, the RePain spell reactivates it (if charmed or similar, the target is charmed by the RePain caster)
The RePain takes effect even if the original attacker is dead/unconscious/etc, possibly healing them if the original attack healed them even by just 1 HP.
