Daggerfall: It rains daggers dealing 1d4 damage / round people are out unprotected.

Raven Mists: An enormous bank of peasoup-thick mist rolls in and settles. In the
thickest part, it causes a choking cough, but the players can push through as long
as they can hold their breath.
Counterspell Damp: An invisible dampness in the air that reduces the effects of
magical spells (ranges shortened or stopped altogether).
Psychic storm: Random voices can be heard everywhere, whispering horrible things
into people’s ears. People out in it too long may go temporarily insane.
anna from heaven: Hail that is actually just edible food. Small, dense, hard
nuggets of sustenance that can be crushed into water or sucked on like a candy.
Doesn’t have a strong taste, but collecting a pound will provide a single meal
ration.
Acid Rain: Literal acid rain.
Peacemaker Aurora: Aurora that has the calm emotions spell effect to those nearby
Watertaker: A tornado that targets nearby water sources and drains them
Elemental Spawning: Each drop of water is an incredibly tiny young water elemental.
They begin to crawl to the nearest body of water, forming a huge wave knocking over
anything in its wake. As they fall, they may try to swarm the party. No damage will
be taken, but those plagued by the minuscule elementals will appear to be covered
in a layer of water.
Fool’s Gold Dusting: A dust storm of gold dust, but bottling or capturing it makes
it dissolve.
Woodsprout: A lightning storm that strikes wooden objects, making them sprout
shoots that grow rapidly in random directions
Planar Corruption: Tiny portals start appearing everywhere, dropping critters from
other planes.
Hellmouth: Dark clouds suddenly appear in the sky. Lightning strikes between them,
instantaneously making terrifying monster shapes stand out from the flashes.
Nothing ever actually happens, though.
Cats and Dogs: It rains cats and dogs. They do take damage, though, and most die.
Some are under the effects of feather fall.
Slow lightning. It only travels at walking pace, but is very persistent.
Djinni Feud: On closer inspection, the storm is in fact two gangs of djinni locked
in a bitter feud. To those who can understand their language, they make wildly
generous offers to join their side – but can they be trusted?
Judas’ mark: Everyone in the party is wreathed with St Elmo’s fire – except one.
Ultrachthonian Downpour: Rain so heavy you glimpse tentacled horrors within it.
Ion storm: A lightning storm that lasts for more than a day. The air in the area
becomes so ionized, that metallic objects randomly release sparkles and small
lightning bolts.
Skeletal sleet: Skulls and ground up bone powder fall to the ground
Wild Hunt: Snaky bolts of magic dart parallel to the ground. Those struck become
afflicted with a persistent Hunter’s Mark. Most people and wildlife caught outside
tends to be marked.
Upside-down rain: Puddles form on the ground. Then the puddles then become rain
falling upwards, until the puddles are exhausted and the ground is dry.
Fishnado: It’s raining fish. The fish start small and harmless, but gradually
become more bothersome (electric eels, puffer fish, sharks) and followed by massive
and outright mythical creatures.
Cometfall: Magic Missiles rain down causing 1d4 force damage
Olympus passing: A storm appears and the clouds rend, revealing Olympus. This
becomes a gate to that upper plane. The storm stays in the area for 3d4 hours.

Rain of Fire: Classic rain of fire from a typhoon of magic magma.
Sandcloud: Sandstorm, but it falls from clouds of traveling sand rather than blown
from the ground as usual.
Hitchcock’s Omen: A ‘storm’ of migrating birds passes through. Small birds flood
around you, run into you, and occasionally claw at you. It ‘rains’ feathers and
birdpoop.
Darkmarch: An enormous column of traveling darkness rolls in and passes through for
several days. Sounds like thunder or marching emanate softly from within.
Celestial Passing: A huge cloudbank of scintillating puffy clouds blows overhead.
They give off thunder-like booms but no lightning, only sprays of light. It rains
holy water, accompanied by copious rainbows. Sometimes celestial feathers fall.
Pixie weather: It rains beautiful bubbles. A faint laughter of pixies can be heard
as they pop.
Arcane rain: It rains paper in strange languages with unknown diagrams, runes,
markings. It also rains droplets of various colors of ink. Most pages are quickly
blotted out by the ink, but collecting 200 or so may be enough to decipher a
secret. Collecting in the middle of the storm is better, but anyone showered upon
risks gaining a temporary form of madness, is temporaily polymorphed, or otherwise
affected by some other unpredictable effect. The ink is useless when mixed together
but usable as expensive fine ink if individual droplets are collected and mixed
with like kin. Articles of clothing left outdoors become tie-dyed.
Bloodsucker Swarm: Fell winds blow in bothersome biting creatures from a far away
land. You can’t sleep soundly unless you find a way to keep the biters off.
Negative Thunderstorm – Skies darken. Waves of purple energy crackle across the sky
and all color seems to fade. There is a shrill screaming noise, that gets louder
and louder for several seconds until a blast of supernatural darkness shoots up
from the ground. Creatures struck take negative/necrotic damage and are silenced
for a while. Creatures killed by this rise as undead 2d6 hours later.
Flowerfall: A cloud of beautiful delicate petals makes a rain that blankets the
surroundings. The storm has a nastier cousin: the pollen cloud.

into its cube shape in some time if not dealt with.

Cackling thunder: The skies let loose a maniacal laugh that frightens all beings
that are outdoors on a failed will save
Rain of animal growth: Any animal caught in the rain will grow by a 1d4 growth
modifier.
Doppelganger Rain: The party caught in this weird rain is forced to fight a
doppelganger of themselves. The duplicates disappear when the rain ends, so running
is an option.
Furnace Snow: Snow that is unusually hot, and burns people.
Golden shower: It rains little bits of gold, a few put together can equal a gold.
Apathy Rain: Textureless, grey clouds begin to form, stretching further and further
across the sky until they touch the horizon in every direction. The air becomes
damp, and soon a light drizzle begins to sweep across the land. An observant
onlooker may eventually notice that the rain seems as gray as the sky it fell from,
and that bodies of water become unnaturally opaque as they are rained on. There is
no imminent danger from being exposed to the light shower, but as time goes on,
people who are exposed to the drizzle gradually become increasingly apathetic and
weary. Being exposed to the rain for a half hour induces feelings of mild tiredness
and lazy irritability, while being exposed from 1 to 2 hours leaves a victim
uninterested in most stimulation, and unmotivated to do any for of physical
activity, even moving. Being exposed for any amount of time longer than 2 hours
leaves a person without the will move out of the rain, and with a fading will to
live. Exposure to the rain for 4 hours or more will put the victim into a deep coma
that requires magical healing to fix, and after 6 hours of exposure, the victim
dies as their heartbeat slowly grinds to a halt.
Dancers Rain: White clouds billow unnaturally as what was before a gentle breeze
begins turns to sharp gusts. Within minutes it looks like there is a bulging
mountain range in the sky, small cloud-puffs reach towards the ground and are
tossed back, and strands of cloud are molded it into chaotic patterns and designs.
At the storm’s zenith, the cloud wisps touch the ground and resemble dancing
humanoids whipping the wind around them. Those that stand within the clouds that
touch the surface can hear joyful, rambunctious laughter in the howls of the wind,
as though the spirits of the storm are inviting them out to play.
Ascetic’s boon: Really nasty sleet, but someone who exposes themselves and
withstands the bitterness of the whole storm finds all their weapons, clothing, and
armor granted a temporary +1 buff.
Ghost rain: It’s raining, but the rain seems to pass right through everything.
Careful inspection reveals the rain is splashing against and forming puddles on
surfaces that don’t exist. It turns out the rain is falling in a parallel plane, or
is a memory from the past falling on the land as it was long ago.
Scentwind: A whole bunch of odd smells are blown in on the breeze. Each gust of
wind changes the smell entirely. One moment you smell strawberries and creme, then
iodine, then fresh bread, then decaying leaves.
Drunken Deluge: It rains mild alcohol. Staying out too long will get you buzzed
from the vapor alone. Wild animals become incorrigibly drunk, even the magic ones.
Cleansing rain: the rain cleans the clothes of those in it.
Radiant Light: Bright yellowy white clouds cover the sky. They emit a powerful
light, dealing radiant damage per round to whoever is standing unprotected outside.
Oven bubbles: Bubbles of superheated air form. Plant life and untreated wood may
spontaneously combust. The bubbles are difficult to spot, and are best spotted by
looking for the heat distortions of objects behind them.

and a light snow falls inside.

accompaniment by the silhouette of a mighty creature striking a great anvil behind
the clouds.
Minegas Mists: A bank of flammable mist settles over the land, igniting the mist
burns off a clearing 50ft across.
Blood Moon: The sky turns a deep red, and 2D6 undead rise from the ground. This
involves skeletons, minotaur skeletons, crawling claws, zombies, orc zombies, and
beholder zombies.
Blobdrop: Raindrops from the storm fall short of the ground, instead forming large
amorphous blobs of water, they are burst easily.
Antigravity storm: A red cloud lightning storm with pink bolts. Wherever lightning
strikes, be it earth, a tree, or building, the object or area begins hovering and
slowly rises up towards the sky. This effect lasts for 1h, after which all the
objects slowly descend.
Seedstrike: Seeds fall from the sky, although they do no harm, each that strikes
the bare earth makes a might twump, and a fruit tree rises from the ground.

1hp per round. Does not effect undead or constructs.

(of any liquid) are hydrophobically repelled for 1d10 hours. This includes blood
the character might spill (minor cuts could become major wounds for example) or
anything the character tries to drink.
Summon water rain: Every water droplet is a small puddle. When the droplet lands,
instead of a small ‘splt’ you would expect, it ‘splooshes’ into an entire puddle.
Tends to lead to massive flooding.
Locust Plague: A swarm of locusts of biblical proportions fills the skies.

inside forgets who they are. Good times are had, munchies galore.

Spark showers: instead of water, sparks rain down. Instead of lightning there is
either a downward fire spout which never reaches the ground, or bursts of magma.
‘looks like God is welding again’
Illusion mist: every creature breathing in it will see other people/creatures , an
intelligence or perception check is required to realize if something is an
illusion.
Bolt drizzle: Instead of raining water, it rains electricity- but it looks just
like falling rain, it’s just little droplets of electricity that steaks down from
the sky. Not innately harmful.
Wildcolor Haboob: A blowing wind that changes color of everything it hits –
permanently or otherwise. This includes water, skin, hair, clothing, items, etc.
The color change is incredibly quick and it cycles through many colors as the wind
blows.

their turns or have to throw a d20 for the Wild Magic Table. If they succeed they
are immune to this effect for 12 seconds (2 rounds).

‘painted’ with the pinkish-orange glow until the next sunrise.
