One of the most understated things about Sphinxes in 5e that a lot of people seem to ignore is their capacity for TIME TRAVEL as a lair action, up to 10 years per action. One setting I run in a lot has all sphinxes as time travelers from an extinct civilization trying to ensure the survival of their culture in the future through their enigmatic moves and riddles.

It gets better, the library expedition team went to Xendrik, the former homeland of the giant empire that has twisted geography because of a bunch of curses placed on it by dragons or gods, and they found her in a ruin. She told the team that she'd foreseen their arrival, and that they would take her to the "land of fiends", which is her way of saying Khorvaire (the continent where most Eberron campaigns take place).

one of the best copy pastas "When Oedipus reached Thebes, he encountered a Sphinx. "If you wan! to pass this point alive, you must answer my riddle: What goes on four legs in the morning, on two legs at noon, and on three legs in the evening?) the Sphinx asked. Oedipus pondered for a moment. ”Probably one of those new Pokemon", he finally replied. "There's like 600 of them, I'd be surprised if one of them DOESN'T change its number of legs whilst evolving”. "Fair enough man", spoke the Sphinx. ”l can’t reasonably expect you to remember all their names, You may pass,”"

The Roggenrola and Grapploct lines are close, but neither quite fit (two, three, then four for the first one, lots and three for the later one). And those are the only lines with Pokémon that walk on three legs. Al least up to gen 8, maybe there is one gen 9 onwards. So, he should have died, the riddle has failed.

Had a spinx once that pointed to a door and said "Your test ends when you open that door." One of my party members opened the door, then immediately vanished. The rest of the party did the same, and disappeared one by one. I then asked the spinx "How do you pass the test?" The sphinx smiled, then replied "By asking how you pass the test, and then opening the door." There's a world of difference between ending a test and passing one. The only reason my party survived is because I remembered that.

The answer I came up with to the two sisters riddle is a job and a purpose. If you only have a job to do, then that gives you a purpose: to do the job. But if you only have a purpose, then that gives you a job: fulfill your purpose.

One of the things I love about mythology and riddles, is sometimes honesty is really the best answer. For so many beings, it is better to say "I don't know." than guess, as it shows you have humility. Some even take it as a correct answer, but most will just allow you to leave, without the punishments of a wrong answer. Because, technically you where not wrong.

I was hit with a sphinx once, and it was probably my favorite moment. In the game, I was playing a character who unknowingly called upon a contract demon in order to save one of the last children of the familiar of a God. The child, a flying snake, ended up as her familiar (I was a type of summoner) Upon trying to cleanse the child of a unique sickness caused by an otherworldly presence called soul rot, which also claimed her father so she had been studying how to remove it. Upon trying to save it, she wrote symbols on impulse in order to call out to a greater creature to aid her in cleansing it from the child, and something answered. It did cleanse it, by taking the soul rot and purging it from the child by shoving through the soul of my character which then went out and corrupted all of those connected to her family line. Think about doing this to someone who is related to Genghis Kahn, you'd end up corrupting a lot of people... which it did. So, because of the huge influx she was sent out on the adventure. During it she was confronted by the demon who then told her what he had done...what *she had done.* Now, all of this had to be said in order to set up the answer to the riddle. Because the riddle was: "What is a great truth that gives birth to an even greater lie." The answer was not meant for me, but the character it was made for wasn't much of a role player so everyone sat there unsure of what to say. Until, almost instinctively, an answer came to me. My character walked up, and stared the sphinx right in the eyes. Eyes that were paradoxically hardened and broken by what had happened as she said: "It's not my fault."

so I'm actually reading a book called Pact (by Wildbow) and there's a sphinx in it and I really like how they made her and her riddles. In the book the riddles don't have a right or wrong answer as long as you are smart about it yet trying to outsmart the sphinx is a bad move as they will try and kill you for "failing their test" so basically no answer is better then a bad answer.

I feel like one could go pretty meta with them, if they really are literally divinely-ordered obstacles on a quest or sentient avatars of plot progression. I imagine a sphinx that realised he has no existence outside of the plot and is pretty angsty about it, or a sphinx that is loterally incapable of comprehending the world outside of the plot but is unaware of it, in vein of "Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead". This is guaranteed to make your players' heads spin.

The thing WOTC doesn't want you to know about Sphinxes is that they secretly really like it when you rub their belly, they just don't let you because it ruins their noble image.

I once ran a one shot where my players had to go through a corrupted sphinx's lair, taken over by a fiend cult, with the lair being more and more corrupted as they got further in, leading to some of the "riddles" being manipulated traps by the cult. We had a blast.

@TonytheTono 2 жыл бұрын
For further context, the cult captured a young sphinx and tricked the main protector into being unable to leave their room. Cult wanted to corrupt the sphinx to allow planeshift and time travel at will, since sphinxes be powerful.

I think a good way to do a Sphinx is not to have a set answer but to allow any answer that a player can convince you applies to the riddle. A player must be witty to deal with a Sphinx not all knowing.

Merlin (Corwin's boy. Not the beard guy who had Art's back) runs into a sphinx in the second Amber chronicles, and gives a correct but unexpected answer. She gets peeved, but he lawyers it out with a smidgen of magical intimidation and some slaughterhouse technique his uncle Benedict taught him. It's fun.
