I felt like converting some things found in the game Bloodborne to 5e, so here you go. It's not everything, but maybe I'll add more later.


Serrated: A serrated weapon is edged with vicious serrations that mangle the flesh they cut through into unrecognizable ribbons. A creature that takes piercing or slashing damage from a serrated weapon receives only 1/2 the benefit of any magical healing, 1/4 the effect of any mundane healing, and medicine checks made to stabilize that creature are at disadvantage. These detriments last until all physical damage taken by the creature during that combat is healed.

Additionally, a critical hit delivered by a serrated weapon bleeds for 1 damage at the end of the wounded creature's turn, until it either receives magical healing or a creature uses an action to make a DC 14 Medicine check to bind the ragged wound.

Beast Roar

Blacksky Eye

As a reaction on their turn, the user can move up to 10ft horizontally without provoking attacks of opportunity. This movement can pass through open air or the spaces of other creatures, but the user will fall if they end this move in open air. Alternatively, when the user is targeted by an attack, they can use their reaction to impose disadvantage on the attack. If that attack misses, the user may make the above detailed move.

Tiny Tonitrus
Rest: 4/Long
Invocation Skill:Intelligence
Striking the ground with this tool as an action launches a shockwave of lightning along the ground that is 5ft wide, 20ft tall, and 40ft long. Creatures in its path must make a DC 8 + Invocation Skill Modifier + Your Proficiency Dexterity save or take 3d6 + Invocation Skill Modifier in lightning damage, half on a save.

A Call Beyond

At the beginning of your next turn, the nova explodes, launching out a number of stars equal to 4 + Invocation Skill Modifier. For each star, make a ranged attack roll on a target within 40ft. On a hit, the target takes 4d4 radiant damage and 1d6 force damage.


Bolt/Fire Paper: This simple piece of parchment is coated in alchemical reagents that anoint the desired weapon with elemental flame or lightning. As a bonus action, the user runs the paper along the length of the wielded weapon. The weapon erupts with flame/lightning, dealing 1d6 bonus elemental damage on a successful hit for 1 minute. If the wielder is holding the weapon in one hand and their other hand is empty, coating the weapon instead requires an object interaction.

Lead Elixir: Drinking this thick, metallic draught grants the imbibed the weighty inexorability of lead. They gain resistance to physical damage, and gain +10 against any effect that would knock them prone, prevent them from moving, or move them against their will. However, they have disadvantage on Dexterity Skill checks and saves, and thier speed is reduced by 15ft.

Sedative: Acts like Calm Emtions on the imbiber, removing any emotion-based buffs or debuffs, such as charmed, frightened, or enraged.

Shaman Bone Blade: This weapon acts like a +1 dagger. On a successful hit, however, it breaks, and the victim must make a DC 15 Constitution saving throw. On a failure, they are poisoned for 1 minute, and suffer the effects of the spell Enemies Abound while so poisoned.

Blue Elixir: Drinking this aggressively bland draught grants the imbiber +5 to Dexterity (Stealth) rolls for 10 minutes. Additionally, if the drinker stands still, they may attempt to hide without cover. However, while under the effects of Blue Elixir, the drinker has disadvantage on Intelligence checks and saving throws.

Bone Marrow Ash: Adding this specialized powder to the chamber of a firearm increases the damage dice of that particular attack by one step E.G. d6 --> d8 --> d10 etc.

Numbing Mist: This fragile glass vessel cam be thrown up to 30ft. Creatures within 10ft of where the vessel lands are caught in the cloud, and must make a DC 15 Constitution save, or else become unable to heal whatsoever. This saving throw may be repeated at the end of a creature's turn.


Some creatures or weapons can inflict the Frenzy status, which acts in a similar tiered fashion to exhaustion.



Frenzy Level
Effect


1
The affected creature has disadvantage on Perception and Investigation checks. If it fails a check by 5 or more, it takes a number of d4s in psychic damage equal to the depth of its failure, as it instead sees or hears something that it dearly wishes it did not.


2
Mounting dread causes involuntary twitches, causing disadvantage on attack rolls.


3
Fear begins to erode the psyche. The affected has disadvantage on mental ability checks and saves.


4
Poised on the precipice of a horrific revelation, the afflicted is on hair trigger alert. Whenever the afflicted takes damage, they must make a Wisdom Saving throw against the damage taken or become frightened of the source until the end of their next turn. While so frightened, their speed is reduced to zero, and they cannot avert their gaze from the source of their fear.


5
At 5 Frenzy, the mind and body both buckle beneath the burden of the truth, wracked through and through by waves of horror. The afflicted loses all levels of Frenzy as the mind forcefully shuts down the parts of itself that threaten to break it. However, the afflicted takes 5d6 piercing damage and 5d6 psychic damage in the process, this damage cannot reduce them below 1 hp. For the next minute, they are considered vulnerable to psychic damage.


Any method that can be used to remove mental status effects like frightened or charmed can be applied to remove 1d4 levels of Frenzy. When finishing a long rest, remove 1d4-2 levels of Frenzy. A negative result indicates that horrific nightmares cause continued erosion of their mind, adding another level.
