Stonks. This magical currency is capable of instantly
converting itself into an equally valuable amount of any other
type of currency, or back again, at the will of the holder. Using
this unique ability, the residents of Stonkheim (typically
referred to as "Stonkholders") have become particularly
adept at getting a sense for how the values of different
currencies shift, and transforming their stonks at exactly the
right times. In this way, most Stonkholders have become
incredibly wealthy individuals.
A Fight for Control
Among the Stonkholders, two powerful creatures have
emerged as the most powerful controlling forces of this
valuable resource, and they are constantly at odds with one
another. On one side of this conflict is the chaotic but kind
master of rising value, Sminem. On the other side, favoring
control and caution are the sinister Bogdanoff Brothers.

Sminem
Sminem is a kind and generous soul whose goal is to see
every denizen of Stonkheim succeed in their endeavors. He is The Bogdanoff Brothers
constantly surrounded by admirers, and has even been
granted a personal set of guards by the city leaders
themselves. Though Sminem started his life as any other
Stonkholder does, attempting to grow his Stonks through the
transformation process, it quickly became apparent that he
had exceptional ability where that process was concerned.
Now, later in his life, he has learned that not only are his
abilities to read currency changes exceptional, but that he has
natural powers that allow him to exert positive probabilities
on himself, and those around him. These powers reach well
beyond the realm of Stonks, allowing him to bolster allies in
combat, and making him a force to be reckoned with. He is
not a particularly capable fighter in his own right, but his
mere presence can make even the most paltry force of guards
a truly powerful force to be reckoned with.

30 feet into other items of equal value. For instance,
they might change the weapons held by their
opponents into fancy clothes, or transform valuable

Domp Eet (Recharge 6). The Bogdanoff Brothers cast
their most powerful spell, which requires the verbal

Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, that creature's
hit point maximum and highest ability score are
reduced to 1/2 of their original value. This change
cannot be reversed except by a wish spell, or greater
restoration cast at 9th level.
