Chapter 1: Races
The following races are foodfolk, culinary peoples
endemic to Yumm Island. They live side-by-side
with other humanoids, such as humans and elves,
which originate from beyond the island’s Cereal
Sea. Though humanoids and foodfolk might seem
disparate, they’re absolutely coequal on Yumm
Island’s shores.

FOODFOLK AND HUMANOIDS

Yumm Island plays host to a preposterously
diverse collection of plants and animals, including
two entire branches of human-like creatures,
the humanoids and the foodfolk. Humanoids
include the standard array of fantasy races, such as
humans, elves, dwarves, halflings, and so on. Many
humanoids are native to Yumm Island, but a few
are visitors, having washed up on shore years ago
and finding it impossible to leave.
By contrast, foodfolk resemble culinary
creations, from donuts, to carrots, to gummy
bears. Not every type of food is counted among
the foodfolk, but those that are easily eclipse the
cartoonish diversity of the humanoids that live on

Pumpkid
The permanently adolescent pumpkids
embrace mischief and mayhem as a way
of life.

TRICKS! TREATS!
Pumpkids are nothing if not mischievous,
spending every idle second concocting small
pranks to pull on those around them. Given time
and preparation, they might enlist others in their
schemes to pull off a massive, overly complex
prank, if they think someone in particular needs
to be taken down a peg. Adventuring pumpkids
usually reserve their more harmful shenanigans for
deserving enemies, but groups of pumpkids left to
their own devices are often crueler and completely
undiscerning about who they’ll make slip on a

 Veggies
Veggies are usually among the first and friendliest
faces a visitor to Yumm Island will ever see.
Endlessly diverse, veggies can be found on all walks
of life and counted among members of every class.

COLORFUL AND JOLLY

As their name suggests, veggies are vegetable
people that resemble everything from carrots to
kale. They are, therefore, an assorted and colorful
bunch, with wildly different skills and aptitudes.
Among their few commonalities, veggies are
almost universally friendly and hospitable, making
for cheerful innkeepers and fair merchants. If
there’s a dispute, veggies are among the first to
moderate and the last to call foul.

DISTRACTIBLE
Veggies are somewhat Infamous for having short
attention spans that leave them distracted at the
least opportune moments. Some believe this is
because veggies are extraordinarily aloof, but this
couldn’t be further from the truth. In fact, veggies
are endlessly perceptive, which often causes them
to notice interesting tidbits when there may be
more pressing matters at hand.

Chapter 2: Magic Items
Magic is so commonplace on the Island of
Yumm that spellcasting and magic items are
scarcely out of place at the dinner table. Perhaps
unsurprisingly, many of these magic items are
constructed from the very elements which make up
foodfolk: culinary treats and sugary snacks. Only
a few terribly powerful relics elude the grasp of
adventurers on the island, for if they fell into the
wrong hands, there might not be an island to speak
of afterwards.

BOW OF BOWS
Weapon (any bow), uncommon (requires
attunement)
Made of springback candy cane and ruby red
ribbon, the bow of bows has the unique ability to
fire lengths of ribbon up to 60 feet long in lieu of
an arrow. This ribbon can be used to pull creatures
off balance, as a grappling hook, or to wrap up
a foe. Once per turn, you can replace one attack
using the bow with one of the following effects:

 CRYSTAL CANDY SWORD
Weapon (any sword), uncommon (requires
attunement)
While attuned to this magic weapon, you can use
your bonus action to lick the blade and gain the
benefits of the sugar rush spell (no concentration
required). When you use this trait, roll a d4. On a
1, the sword loses its sweetness, and can’t grant the
spell’s benefits for 24 hours.

GUMMY FANGS
Wondrous item, common (requires attunement)
When you attune to these fangs, you can wear
them in your mouth and use them as a natural
weapon to perform a special bite attack, which
counts as an unarmed strike. If you hit with
this bite attack, you deal piercing damage equal
to 1d6 + your Strength modifier, instead of the
bludgeoning damage normal for an unarmed
strike, and you regain 1d4 hit points.
Whether or not you are attuned to the fangs,
you can eat them as an action. Doing so destroys
the fangs, but you regain 2d4 + 2 hit points in the
process.

JAWBREAKER
Weapon (morningstar), uncommon
You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls
made with this magic weapon. Whenever you score
a critical hit against a creature using this weapon,
you lock its jaw, rendering it incapable of speaking
or performing the verbal components of spells
until it finishes a short or long rest.

MACEMALLOW
Weapon (any melee weapon which deals bludgeoning
damage), uncommon (requires attunement)
You have a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls
made with this magic weapon. When you roll a
20 on an attack roll, the target is covered in sticky
marshmallow and is restrained if it is Large or
smaller. A creature restrained in this way can use
its action to make a DC 13 Strength check, freeing
itself on a success.
When you speak the command word
(“smores”) while holding the weapon, the
marshmallow bursts aflame, shedding bright light
for 20 feet, and dim light for an additional 20 feet.
The flames last until you speak the command word
again or until you drop or stow the weapon.

10 Mage Hand Press

PEPPERMINT SLICE
Weapon (dagger or scimitar), uncommon (requires
attunement)
This striped, red blade is enchanted with the power
of the elemental peppermint. You have a +1 bonus
to attack and damage rolls made with this magic
weapon.
As an action you can invoke the weapon,
coating you in a thin layer of hard, resistant icing
as you cast peppermint plate. Once you use this
feature, you can’t do so again until the following
dawn.
Magic Item Set. Attuning to both this weapon
and the coolmint slice requires only a single
attunement slot. If you hit a creature with both
of these weapons on the same turn, the weapons
become empowered until the end of your next
turn. This weapon deals an additional 1d4 fire
damage and the coolmint slice deals an additional
1d4 cold damage.

WAFER SHIELD
Shield, rare (requires attunement)
While attuned to this shield, you can doff it and
mount it as a bonus action. Whilst mounted, you
ignore nonmagical difficult terrain , can move
the surface of liquids, and your movement speed
increases to 60 feet. Additionally, if you take
damage while mounted, you must succeed on a
Dexterity saving throw or fall off the shield and
fall prone. The DC for the saving throw equals
10 or half the damage taken, whichever is higher.
You can dismount the shield and don it again as a
bonus action.
Once on each of your turns, if you
move 20 feet in a straight line, you
can whip the shield in a cool move
(no action required), splashing hot
chocolate all over a creature within 5
feet of you. The creature must make a
Dexterity saving throw, taking 2d8 fire
damage on a failure, or half as much
damage on a success. The DC for the
saving throw equals 8 + your Dexterity
(Acrobatics) modifier.

 Gumslinger Bandits
Ever since chocolate coins were adopted as
currency on Yumm Island, the rich foodfolk
have hoarded their coins like greedy dragons
and everyone else has scrambled to get their fair
share. Naturally, this has inspired an entire cottage
industry of thieves and bandits who make money
via less scrupulous means. None are so formidable
as the gumslinger bandits, who don gumball
helmets as disguises to rob anyone they meet.
Noble Origins. The very first gumslinger
bandit was the infamous Little Papajohn, who
assembled a gang of foodfolk to raid the annual
Yumm Gumm Ball. This masquerade collected the
wealthy and royal residents of Yumm Island in a
single place for a night of opulent reveling, easy
pickings for Papajohn and the gumslinger bandits.

 Pumpkid
The ever mischievous, pumpkin-headed pumpkids
are a nuisance to the honest foodfolk across Yumm
Island. Though their antics might seem whimsical,
their jests rarely amount to harmless antics and
good cheer.
Pranks and Jibes. Nothing makes a pumpkid
giggle and snicker quite like an ably done trick.
They appreciate hijinks of all kinds, from wordplay
designed to trip someone up to practical jokes that
induce physical harm, and everything in between.
No form of entertainment equals it, or can come
close to provoking the riotous laughter caused by
someone falling down a flight of stairs and rolling
into the street.
Little Gangs. Pumpkids almost always parade
about in little gangs, constantly trying to one-up
each other’s antics. Rarely do they cooperate to pull
off a more elaborate joke, as their little alliances
always degrade when someone has to take orders
from someone else. Naturally, pumpkids usually
harbor a distrust of authority, as well as anyone else

Everyone knows that melancholic moment when
an ice cream cone is dropped on the ground, but
on Yumm Island, such moments can also lead to
the creation of a lifelong friend. Scooplings are just
such a friend, made from ice cream and a smile.
Familiars and Buddies. Scooplings can be
animated with a bit of talent, as many aspiring
mages know, but they also might spontaneously
spring to life when an ice cream is dropped and
someone is very sad about that. Not every dropped
ice cream turns into a scoopling, no matter how
many tears are shed, but every once in a while
a spark of magic finds the discarded cone and
animates it into a new friend.
Companions by nature, scooplings imprint on
the first person they see, and live solely to brighten
their day. Mages find that this makes them ideal
familiars, while laymen find a loyal pet to rival
avogatos and growlics. And they never melt!
