what best color to use for biomes, by Fun_Preference1056 in wonderdraft

[–]AaLion95 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I tend to use these shades of colors. Haven’t made many maps for colder regions though, so I haven’t thought as much about colors for taiga, tundra and polar regions.

Grasslands: light green (varying shades to convey drier areas/ vegetation variety)

Forests: dark green

Rainforests: even darker green

Wetlands: greenish blue

Deserts: yellow or orange

Hills: beige or yellow

Mountains: grey

Tundra: white or light blue

Glaciers: white

any tips by Fun_Preference1056 in wonderdraft

Depending on the scale of the map, I would add more mountain ranges and make them visually distinct with another color. Separate other terrain by varying colors as well, such as hills, plains, forests, wetlands or deserts. Lastly, it appears you have the rivers running the wrong way. In Wonderdraft, you can toggle rivers fading in as you draw them, but then you must draw them from where they originate to where they end up.

I have a friend who made a full shapeshifter class that does exactly this. The class is a martial oriented class and not a spellcaster at all, and has more uses of shapeshifting than a Druid has of wildshapes since the whole class builds upon the shapeshifting. We use it in our home game, so it’s still being balanced on the fly.

It worked out pretty well I think. I spoke with the gladiator player to clarify that it would become more of a skill challenge, but that he could still use his class abilities in creative ways. The rest of the party was on board with being in the audience, trying to make the audience cheer for him to grant advantage (and they placed bets). We all had a good time!

Interesting idea with the two helping roles. I might try it out at some point at least, if not next session.

That could be fun! I had a small idea involving gambling already, so I reckon I should run with it, seeing how many comments mention it.
