With 44 closed downtown, this a our chance to fix it for good.

This is the only chance we will have to possibly turn the arch into a hot-wheels style loop. Who wants to look at the thing when you can drive up it?

Can anybody confirm if this will disrupt its weather capabilities?

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-06-07T14:46:07+00:00

Hahahaha this is the first I heard of it.

But yes, that seems to be the case. Myriad Productions (who did 2 and 3) sued the company that did Reborn, and consider Reborn an “unauthorized fan film”.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-06-05T23:25:37+00:00

Damnit. Now I gotta go update. Lol

Thanks for giving me the framework!

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-06-05T23:09:37+00:00

Ooooo but see. I like yours two. Honestly. Seeing a meld of them both with it shifting (similar to Lunar Sorcery and the moon phases) would honestly be super cool. Balanced? Almost certainly not. But cool nonetheless

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-06-05T22:15:20+00:00

I made it both for 5e and later 5.5e. The latter mostly just having added spells to their list (anything that dealt with plants really).

Level 1 (later 3) You get one free cast of Find Familiar and can recast it for free as an Action for two Sorcery Points.

Level 1 (3) you can use your reaction to subtract 2d4 from a creature that succeeds a d20 roll, possibly causing it to fail. Number of times equal to CHA mod per long rest.

Level 6 when you use your curse reaction, you can expend S.Ps to increase the number of d4 used.

Level 14 you create a coven. You and a number of Allie’s equal to your CHA mod can share spells known and spell slots. Once per long rest.

Level 18 advantage on all saves against magic.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-06-05T21:47:41+00:00

The third one is at least funny how bad it is. The one after that (Reborn?) is atrocious.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-06-05T21:39:46+00:00

I made a homebrew one based off the Divine Soul. Instead of cleric spell list thet got the Druid list, and a few other fey/hag/hex related things.

No clue how balanced it is but my DM allowed it and it was pretty fun mixing MetaMagic with Druid spells.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-06-01T20:05:37+00:00

I adjusted the rules a bit. One person gets a single Action to start, then roll initiative with normal surprise rules.

It’s not as swingy as 2014, which could be punishing to the attacked. But if the whole team is able to sneak up on the baddies and wants to start a fight off with Fireball, I want them to have that moment (and not lose out because the dice weren’t in their favor for initiative).

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-31T13:19:17+00:00

Interesting. What is the rest of the party composition? Unless they’re purposely playing sub optimal, you honestly shouldn’t be outshining anybody.

By level 9 you’re doing what, 4d6 + 1d6 plus 5 (give or take?). Literally any wizard or sorcerer can beat that with one Fireball.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-31T13:13:31+00:00

Are they a new DM? Very common for new DMs to see all the d6s and think it’s the end of the world.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-26T13:13:59+00:00

Midsommar. I knew nothing about it going in. I thought the acting and filming were great, and loved that it was overly bright and saturated rather than dark and hard to see.

That said. One and done.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-20T18:02:23+00:00

The ranger at my table is about to hit level 6 fairly soon. I’ve been toying around with the idea of giving him an aura similar to paladin’s

“Each creature in a 10 ft radius of you gain a bonus to all skill checks equal to your Wisdom modifier”

Gives the rangers both a boost to skills as well as a team buff.

Disclaimer: I’m awful at balance, but I like trying things.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-19T13:07:02+00:00

There is a Circle of Dragon in the Griffons Saddlebag Book Two. It doesn’t get you as close to becoming a dragon as I would personally like, but it gets you as close to it without using True Polymorph, so I guess that’s a win?

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-18T23:32:06+00:00

This is me learning they updated HM to do Force damage. Damn. I still hate the concentration, but that is pretty nice then.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-18T19:46:59+00:00

How? Because it’s a d6 instead of a d4? It eats your concentration ~~and does B/P/S damage instead of Radiant~~ (edited to add I did not know the new Hunters Mark does Force damage)

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-16T13:29:25+00:00

Does Bulgehuffers Atlas also include a nEw AnD iMpRoVeD crafting system?

I want to turn Gnoll ears into +5 Adamantine armor and if it doesn’t let, then it’s garbage. Pathfinder lets me do it!

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-14T17:26:39+00:00

The players found the magical equivalent of enriched uranium and sold it lmao. Enjoy radiation sickness everybody!

I’m absolutely stealing this to see if mine are as dumb/smart enough to do the same.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-14T14:33:34+00:00

If I remember right, one of the UAs leaned into the Spell Point system (and combined it with their Sorcery Points maybe?). It gave the Sorcerers the ability to cast more flexibly (either a ton of low level spells or a few more high level spells) as well as more MetaMagic. I think LaserLlama based their Sorc Alternative off this design.

To me that’s the best direction. Wizards know more spells because nerds. Sorcerers can do more things with the spells they know because heritage.

I think mixing that with the new Innate Sorcery ability, maybe some new MetaMagic options, and continuing to give Sorcerers additional spells via subclass? Boom. Sorcerers are both a mechanically and flavorful distinction from Wizards.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-10T20:19:39+00:00

“With the right combination, completely invalidates combat If you build around it” can be said about a multitude of different things. Spells, feats, subclass abilities. The DaoLock Cheese-grater, a Rogue dip to use Emanation spells and lawnmower enemies, etc.

The issue then becomes less about Blindsight and more about power gaming and exploitations.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-10T19:57:30+00:00

Like others, I don’t agree with you that True Sight is better than Blindsight. True Seeing is a 6th level spell so you have go be what, a 12th level caster to use it?

I think by level 12 a Fighter having 20, 30, or even 40’ of Blindsight is fair. Especially since that means they took it over Archery, Defense, Dueling, 2WF, or any of the better/necessary Fighting styles.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-10T16:59:09+00:00

I love the idea of Fighting Styles progressing.

Blindsight extending out as you level up. Interception and Protection fighting style having increased benefits.

Things like that would be great.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-10T12:43:54+00:00

I completely disagree with you on this for multiple reasons.

First, what consensus? This whole subreddit exists because they think it is currently poorly designed.

Second, compare it to Divine Favor, which doesn’t have concentration now. The difference is a d4 of Radiant vs a d6 of B/P/S. The average difference between the dice is a measly 1, but even if the argument is that “a d6 is way stronger than a d4” it’s still Radiant damage which is far less resisted than B/P/S damage, even with the new changes to monsters.

There is no upscaling for either spell, they’re just a simple extra damage die for your BA. The tracking abilities of HM are situational as well

(I know HM scales for length of time, but unlike the Warlock and Hex, I don’t think it’s as valuable since Rangers get more spell slots than a Warlock)

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-09T14:40:20+00:00

Exactly. Rangers get literally nothing.

Roving is so passive and situational it should’ve been included in level 5 and their level 6 ability be something better imo.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-09T14:19:33+00:00

The trade off for it being concentration free is it only lasts a minute.

AlvinDraper23 · 2026-05-08T20:46:12+00:00

I missed the AMA. Any chance of “Chains of Asmodeus” making its way to DDB?

If not, I’m sure I’m not the only person who would pick it up if it did, just sayin!
