5e Underdark Adventure

Radiant damage is a good choice because few creatures are resistant or immune to this type of damage unlike, say, fire which is both the most common spell damage type and the most resisted. That said, your question is highly dependent on how you use undead in your game. An alternate suggestion to the Underdark. The Underdark has become a pretty well known segment of the typical DnD world, and for understandable reason. It basically takes crawling around an underground lair where everything wants to kill you and ramps it up to 11.

Level: Cantrip
Casting time: 1 Action
Range: 5 feet
Components: V, M (a holy symbol)
Duration: Instantaneous

You utter a divine word, and burning radiance erupts from you. Each creature of your choice that you can see within range must succeed on a Constitution saving throw or take 1d6 radiant damage.
The spell’s damage increases by 1d6 when you reach 5th level (2d6), 11th level (3d6), and 17th level (4d6).

The Underdark is a fictional setting which has appeared in Dungeons & Dragons role-playing campaigns and Dungeons & Dragons-based fiction books, including the Legend of Drizzt series by R. A. Salvatore. It is described as a vast subterranean network of interconnected caverns and tunnels, stretching beneath entire continents and forming an underworld for surface settings. Polygon called it 'one of D&D's most well-known realms'.^[1]

Use in campaign settings[edit]

The Underdark featured prominently in the campaign settingsWorld of Greyhawk^[2] and the Forgotten Realms.^[3] The concept of a dungeon that spanned a planet was first introduced by Gary Gygax in his D-series of game modules^[4] and at the end of the G-series. The Underdark was described in detail in the 1986 manual Dungeoneer's Survival Guide, by Doug Niles.^[5] It was also part of the Eberron campaign setting, in which it was called Khyber and was home to evil beings driven deep into the caverns at the end of the age of demons.^[6]

A review for Pyramid refers to the Underdark as 'one of the most well known facets of the Forgotten Realms'.^[7] Much of the literary attention for this deep underworld stemmed from the sourcebooks and accessories for the Forgotten Realms setting, including R.A. Salvatore's novels about the fictional character Drizzt Do'Urden.^[3]

The Underdark was also the setting for the expansion pack to the computer game Neverwinter Nights called Hordes of the Underdark, which featured the port city of Lith My'athar, and the mysterious Seer.^[8]

Features[edit]

The Underdark is 'a vast subterranean realm inhabited by drow, mind flayers, aboleth, and other strange, sinister creatures. It is a place where few humans go and from where even fewer return'.^[5] It extends well past the dungeons made by surface dwellers, encompassing myriad caverns, tunnels and complexes.^[7]

Environment[edit]

The fictional Underdark's physical characteristics are based upon conditions in real-world caverns deep underground, except at immense size. Within the context of a game, the Underdark is extremely dangerous, especially to non-native characters and creatures. There are also the usual dangers associated with caverns: claustrophobia, poor air circulation, floor/ceiling collapses and getting lost.

There is no light except for occasional patches of phosphorescent fungus; most Underdark inhabitants either have highly developed senses other than sight or have developed darkvision.^{[note 1]} Food can be extremely difficult to find, and much of the natural vegetation is poisonous. In addition, potable water is hard to locate.

In the Forgotten Realms setting, the Underdark is permeated with a magical energy the drow call faerzress, which is used as a source of energy by the native plant life and which interferes with scrying and teleportation spells.

Araumycos[edit]

In the Forgotten Realms setting, Araumycos (Dwarvish, literally meaning 'Great Fungus') is an enormous fungal growth in the Upper Underdark under the continent of Faerûn. It is a single organism living beneath the High Forest between one and three miles under the surface, immune to magic and resistant to psionic energy. Araumycos will sometimes attack intruders with poison, spores, and manifestations that resemble oozes and slimes.^[3]

Araumycos houses many other fungal creatures. Travel within it is difficult since many passages and caves are blocked by it and damage regenerates quickly.^[3]

Inhabitants[edit]

The Underdark is home to many predators, races and fantasy monsters, most of which are hostile. These include:

• Aboleths
• Drow (dark elves)
• Duergar (gray dwarves)
• Illithids (Mind Flayers)
• Myconids (Fungus-men)
• Svirfneblin (Deep Gnomes)

There is no unified underground government since each individual city-state has a different form of rule. The Underdark economy deals primarily in armor, exotic goods, magic, slaves, timber and weapons. The ethical code of many indigenous races tends toward evil or neutral.

In the Forgotten Realms campaign setting, R.A. Salvatore created the drowUnderdark city Menzoberranzan.^[9]

Computer games[edit]

Part of Baldur's Gate II: Shadows of Amn took place in the Underdark,^[10] and Icewind Dale II featured journeys through the Underdark. An expansion pack based on the Underdark setting was released for the Neverwinter Nights game series, titled Neverwinter Nights: Hordes of the Underdark. The tilesets which came with the Hordes of the Underdark expansion pack were used in several persistent worlds, most notably Escape from the Underdark.
