Paladin: Oath of
Righteous Gander
Paladins who follow the Oath of Righteous Gander uphold
the justice of the great geese of power and bring mischief and
terror down on their foes. They use their righteous might to
protect the lands of geese and seek out to destroy evil beings
that would seek to harm them.
Tenets of the Righteous Gander
The tenets of the Oath of the Righteous Gander emphasizes
the importance of geese and other avian creatures within the
world’s ecosystem, and celebrates their beauty in all forms.
Its four central tenets are as follows:
Serve the Goose. Ensure all geese you encounter are
well loved and cared for. Through these acts of kindness,
show others the importance of caring for the world around
them.
Spread Joy and Wisdom. Spread playful mischief and
laughter wherever you go. In times of great strife, be the
one to stand and lead others in song and dance.
Migrate Beyond Borders. Life is but a great
migration, and you must enjoy the journey it sets you
upon. Never settle, for adventure lies just beyond the
next border.
Peace Was Never an Option. Only through fear can
you ensure your enemies remain defeated. Show no mercy
to evil, and destroy it utterly, both great and small. Peace
cannot be an option for as long as evil clouds the gander’s
benevolent light.

Warlock: The Honking
Chaos
You have become a follower of Anserath, the multi-headed
demonic goose-lord of the Abyss. Anserath’s motivations are
incomprehensible and fleeting, its multiple heads each drawn
to their own machinations of mischief and neither ever
working truly in tandem with the other. Anserath’s power
comes from the raw chaotic magic it wields, which often
drives it to unpredictable, senseless acts of rage and violence.
You might have chosen to become a follower of Anserath
willingly, through devout rituals to the goose-lord as a cleric
would a deity, or perhaps you simply found one of Anserath’s
many cursed items and drew power from it for your own
means, without its knowledge. Regardless of your
relationship with your patron, you feel Anserath’s destructive
desires flow through you, channeling its power to fuel your
own ends.

The Honking Chaos lets you choose from an expanded list of

Spells of the Honk

In this section you will find sixteen spells for all levels and
classes, each representing a particular manifestation of the
power of goosekind. Several of these spells recall the geese of
power from Chapter 1, or are even reflections or extensions
of their supernatural peculiarities.
For more spells about geese, see Circle of the Honk on
DMsGuild.
Wielding the Honking Magic
The DM can consider to make these spells available in one of
the following ways:
The characters can freely choose these spells at any time.
One or more of these spells are introduced through
scrolls, tomes or other magic items (like the honkarina or
even the Honkonomicon artifact itself). After being
discovered, they can be picked by any character that has
access to these items.
Certain powerful goose creatures can teach one or more
of these spells as a reward to the characters, or just for
the sake of adding more chaos to the world. The DM could
reward the use of a certain spell as a charm first (see
Chapter 7 of the Dungeon Master's Guide), then the
character that received the charm could eventually learn
the spell when leveling up, or substitute a spell that the
character already knows with it.

5th-level transmutation
Casting Time: 1 bonus action
Range: Touch
Components: V, S, M (an empty quiver and a goose feather)
Duration: Concentration, up to 1 minute
You transmute your quiver so it produces an endless supply
of goose quill shaped darts, which seems to leap into your
hand when you reach for it. These magical quills can be
thrown or used as ammunition for any bow, crossbow or
blowgun, having a range of 100/400 ft and dealing 1d12
piercing damage regardless of the weapon used.
Upon hitting a foe with any of these quills, once per turn
you can channel the magic of a Great Goose of Power on the
quill triggering one of these effects:
Chaos Quill. The quill deals an additional 1d8 force
damage and a target hit by this quill must use its reaction to
move in a random direction up to its speed (this movement
can provoke attacks of opportunity) as a chaos pulse flows in
its body.
Golden Quill. The quill deals an additional 1d8 radiant
damage and a target hit by this quill is blinded until the end
of its next turn as a light flash erupts by the quill.
Ur-quill. The quill deals an additional 1d8 poison damage
and a target hit by this quill is restrained until the end of its
next turn as the quill transmutes in thorns and vines
entangling it.

These elegant glasses are said to have once belonged to the

to these eyeglasses you gain these benefits:
You have advantage on Intelligence, Wisdom and
Charisma saving throws.
You gain proficiency with the following skills: Arcana,
History, Nature and Religion. If you already have
proficiency with one of these skills, you gain expertise in
that skill instead. If you already have expertise with one of
these skills, when you make a check with that skill, you
can treat a d20 roll of 9 or lower as a 10.
You can spend 10 minutes telling beautiful stories and

must succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom saving throw or become
affected by the confusion spell for 1 minute. At the end of
each of its turns, a creature can repeat the saving throw,
ending the effect on itself on a success.
The cane regains 1d6 + 1 expended charges daily at dawn.
If you expend the cane's last charge, roll a d20. On a 1, the
cane transforms into a wand of wonder.
Crown of the Flaming Goose
Wondrous Item, Rare (Requires Attunement)
Legend says that a set of these crowns were forged from the
steel of the chains with which the abyssal lord Pazuzu tried
(unsuccessfully) to control Anserath, the Honking Chaos.
Whilst wearing this crown you gain the following benefits:
You have advantage on all saving throws against fire and
you are immune to any negative consequences inflicted by
nonmagical extreme heat conditions.
When one of your allies takes damage within a 30-foot
radius, you can use your reaction to benefit from their
pain. Choose a target that you can see, the first time you
deal damage to that target on your next turn it takes an
extra 1d12 fire damage that ignores resistance to fire.
If you are a spellcaster you learn the firebolt cantrip. If you
already know this cantrip it deals 1d10 extra damage.
You gain the flaw “I deeply enjoy the suffering of both
allies and enemies, and I will do everything I can to
continue this pleasure”, or a similar flaw in accordance
with your DM.

Wondrous Item, Rare
This item is a small depiction of Anserath, the Honking
Chaos. It weighs 10 pounds and has 6 charges. While holding
it, you can use an action to expend 1 or more of its charges,

One head (1 charge) generates a spark that can instantly

Feathers Golem
A feathers golem is an unusual implementation of the
formula to create one of these artificial guardians. As
opposed to other constructs that are made of more durable
materials, a feathers golem is created when the crafter
prefers adaptability to strength, or just has access to a great
quantity of feathers (maybe because of the presence of other
goose creatures). Its ability to pass through small cracks
makes it ideal to guard places with particularly narrow
corridors or natural caverns, and the capacity to attack with
its feathers enables it to fight toe to toe with ranged
opponents or even to control small groups of adversaries.
As it happens with other kinds of golems, this version can
suffer from attacks of berserking rage, even aggravated by the
presence of goose components as part of its body.
Creation. Crafting a feathers golem with a manual of
golems created for this purpose requires 20 days of work and
25,000 gp of supplies. See Dungeon Master's Guide for the
complete rules on how to use a manual of golems.

This peculiar and particularly foul kind of ooze has adapted
to live in places that are densely populated by geese or other
avian creatures. The ooze adapted to look just like a pile of
feathered waste, making it indistinguishable from the results
of cleaning up a goose shed. A feathered ooze evolved to
consider geese and similar creatures as a necessary part of
its habitat, therefore doesn't usually attack them. In fact, it's
not unknown for a farmer to be suddenly ambushed by one of
these oozes while cleaning up a hen house.
The Demonomicon of Iggwilv claims that the first
feathered ooze was generated after a battle between
Anserath and Juiblex, as a result of the Honking Chaos
feeding on the Faceless Lord's body and having an
indigestion.

infused with dark magic, purposely or by accident. Because
of the goose's decomposing body, its honk will sound
particularly hollow and distorted. Goose zombies are famous
for trying to fly with their damaged wings that are often too
decomposed to sustain them in the air.

The collective's objective is to rival an elder brain's power by
becoming stronger (therefore ensuring that they can keep
their freedom), so it needs to gather more and more geese to
add to its cause (and to its spherical floating body). To achieve
this, it will telepathically command all goose creatures in the

The Great Golden Gooses's Lair
The Great Golden Goose follows a perpetual migration that
begins in the Feywild, travels through each of the good-
aligned planes (Ysgard, Arborea, the Beastlands, Elysium,
Bytopia and Mount Celestia) and ends in in the Astral Sea.
The migration is a metaphorical journey from passion to
asceticism, starting in the planes that are more connected to
strong emotions, and finishing in the ones that embody
elevation and transcendence. The Goose has a nest in each of
these planes, always in a location that's particularly remote
and dangerous to reach.
Lair Actions
On initiative count 20 (losing initiative ties), the Great Golden
Goose can take one of the following lair actions; the Goose
can’t take the same lair action two rounds in a row:
Cloud of Golden Feathers. The Goose creates a cloud of
golden feathers in a 20-foot radius from a point she can see.
The cloud blocks line of sight, and any non-celestial creature
in the area is blinded. The spell lasts until another lair action
is used, up to 1 hour.

Honkdra of the Ponds
When the Ur-goose designed its avian creations,
the honkdra was the concept on which the
Primordial of Havonk experimented the most, giving
birth to several variants of this multiheaded
monstrosity. Aside from any variation, a honkdra
is always a mockery of the infamous hydra, known
to test the mettle of several great champions. The
so called "honkdra of the ponds" is one of
the smallest and weaker of its kind (and that's
saying something), physically less threatening
than a regular hydra but with the habit of
swallowing anything that moves, and a terrible attitude.
Inspired by the spawns of the blood of the dragon god
Lernaea, slain by Tiamat at the dawn of time, the Ur-goose
proceeded to craft a creature even more hateful and
insidious, gifting to its children a kind of magical plumage
that is even impervious to spells. Because of this, it can be
particularly complicated for the adventurers to use fire to
cauterize the cut heads of the honkdra, since they can't rely
on fire cantrips.
For more versions of this creature, see Honkdra from Lord
of Eat on DMsGuild.

Honkecho
When a group of geese that was particularly numerous (or
angry) dies, it can leave behind a honkecho: the undead
remains of their fowlish screams, resounding for eternity.
This collective is made of pure sounds, as it is literally the
honking of dozens of geese that constantly repeats itself,
forever. The noise that comes from an honkecho is
enough to confuse or drive most people crazy, and
can shatter both matter and mind.
A honkecho is definitely noticeable through hearing, but
invisible. Only when it manifests its violent honks, it briefly
becomes visible as a flash of spirits that resemble waves of
sound.

Honkimera
Back in the days when Anserath was
Demogorgon's pet and companion, the Prince
of Demons gave birth to the chimera to make
up for the "lack of creativity" that he witnessed
on the Prime Material. Following the lead of its
master, the Honking Chaos decided to give birth
to its own version of this monstrosity and created the
honkimera: a hybrid between a goose, a cow and a green
dragon (chosen because of the fixation that Anserath has
with poisonous gasses).
Falling victim of the draconic component of its nature, a
honkimera desires to hoard a treasure, but is not smart
enough to understand the difference between valuables and
garbage. Because of this, a honkimera's nest will be cluttered
with anything: precious gems, household items, entire
wagons (full or empty), broken or rotten goods, and more.

Honkraken
A honkraken is a creature from the dawn of time and a
peak specimen of goosedom. In the age when the war
between gods and primordials was raging, the former
created the krakens as their soldiers, while the
mischievous Ur-goose gave birth to the honkrakens as a way
to openly mock them. The Primordial of Havonk infused
its children with the echo of its ancestral honk, and
gifted them its magical plumage that protects them from
heat, cold and even magic.
Even if significantly weaker than their tentacled
counterparts, the honkrakens are still terrifying
creatures that can (and will) spread chaos, fear and
wreck with great ease. Their talent for senseless
destruction is so great, that they attracted the attention
(and admiration) of Anserath, the Honking Chaos itself,
that gifted them with magical powers aimed at
delivering even more havoc.
Nowadays, honkrakens are considered no more than
a legend, or a tale from drunken sailors that nobody
can (or want to) believe. However, when a storm is
brewing in the open sea and the thunder in the
sky mixes with an echoing honk from the depths, many start
to reconsider these legends. When they do, often, it's already
too late.
A Honkraken's Lair
A honkraken usually lives in a deep, narrow trench, in an
underwater cave or under the surface of a sargasso island.
There, they collect amounts of items that range between the
legendary and the completely useless, as their avian mind
doesn't comprehend the difference between treasure and
trash.
Lair Actions

Mother Goose
Famous for her nursery rhymes and beloved children stories,
Mother Goose is considered by many no more than a fictional
character from the cover of a book of bedtime stories.
However, who is acquainted with the powers of geese knows
the truth: that Mother Goose is more than real. This
apparently harmless granny is actually a being from the
feywild that embodies some of the most protective aspects of
goosedom. Her words and tales carry great magic, and they
have the power to deliver teaching stories that can deeply
affect who listens, or even to bring stories to life.
Mother Goose is the most sweet and comprehensive with
children and good hearted beings in general, but has no
hesitation to punish evildoers by hitting them with her
walking cane. Every hit by her cane feels like a punishment
and strikes the body as much as the morale.
