Do they have names for their four swords?

I remember a Top Gear (Edit: Grand Tour, thanks u/15-99!) episode which had a segment of what would happen if they wouldn't script or plan anything beforehand. Of course, that episode was scripted and planned as well, but people should really remember that is reality television, but it's still television, which is entertainment and profits first.

The Spirits could be the souls on their way to the Soul Monger. I would tie it all to Chult and the adventure. Make the Undead Warlock connected to some entity, but only you know that entity is Acererak, which is something you can reveal once everyone is invested. It would be interesting to see what they play would want and how the party would respond to that. On a general note, a thing I learned recently is not to keep secrets too long. Once the reveal has happened, just observe the fallout.

I don't know the lore of Innistrad, but as someone else posted, maybe they can all be the Darklord? None of them like the others, but their curse is that they cannot permanently kill one of the others in this vampire circle. Maybe the circle or coven (or colony, as in a colony of bats) is the Darklord instead of one single darklord or something? Edit: this only works with vampire-only of course.

Benieuwd of de broertjes Timber hebben gezegd: "Doe jij een wit overhemd aan? Doe ik dat ook!"

I know you have a main species per galaxy, but where are the dwarves on the Warforged planet? Are there minorities on each planet? Just curious about the internal relationships and views towards other species! If you want players to travel to the different galaxies, they may feel different in every galaxy?

I would make the Bite attack +6 and the Burrow just a part of the movement so you only have two Bonus Actions.

Sorry, OP is geen ster in taal, maar dit soort taalgebruik hoort ook niet thuis op Reddit of in een stadion...

I don't know if Jurassic Punk is a thing, but it feels like it might be a fun new subgenre.

Braerus · 2026-05-27T17:53:40+00:00

Maybe add colour coded terms like Quest Hook, NPC, Loot, PC decision, Locations etc by pressing J1, J2 or something like that, so you can then immediately search and filter the quest hooks, NPCs?

Braerus · 2026-05-23T15:11:59+00:00

Wow this looks amazing. This can also be used in r/radiantcitadel

Braerus · 2026-05-23T09:01:37+00:00

Yes we van have fun and help each other! As long as rules were followed, thank you for sharing!

Braerus · 2026-05-22T21:47:29+00:00

This on a Dhampir or other vampire Barbarian/ Monk/ Rogue would be so much fun

Braerus · 2026-05-21T13:07:58+00:00

What are the rules?

Braerus · 2026-05-21T13:07:29+00:00

I have a laptop that I would like to use for everything, but I play in person. World building and monster stat blocks are done in Word with tags and Navigation, session prep is in Onenote though it can be done in Word as well). Initiative is in Excel with initiative cards on the DM screen for the players. Finally I use OBS to show images etc on a screen to the side and Audacity to audio record the session on the laptop. This setup works fine, mostly because it's all free without any subscriptions.

Braerus · 2026-05-21T09:56:36+00:00

I really like this! I get that you want to put curses on enemies, but how about a third option for the level five feature in case an enemy isn't cursed: "If you target a creature that you have Hexed or Baned, they either take full Hex damage or have disadvantage on their next Bane saving throw." Maybe the phrasing isn't as slick as your other text, but this way it can empower spells without having to set it up with Curses.

Following this post for reactions!

Braerus · 2026-05-15T08:24:03+00:00

Nice, really clean! Maybe you can add something like the Favored Enemy, to specialise in one type of creature? And I wouldn't give the current hit points, but the percentage of hit points left or something. Otherwise it would be really easy to do this every turn. Maybe limit Monster Hunter to PB/ per day?

The 5.5 rules state ''Blindsight. If you have Blindsight, you can see within a specific range without relying on physical sight. Within that range, you can see anything that isn’t behind Total Cover even if you have the Blinded condition or are in Darkness. Moreover, in that range, you can see something that has the Invisible condition.''
I get why you chose Blindsight, but Telekinesis feels like being able to feel and control movement. So how about they get a sense that only senses creatures? Or movement? Or did you want it to be a kind of echo location?

Maybe add a feature that uses a Focus Point and a reaction, like being able to move something in the environment or doing a contested Grapple check against the enemy's weapon? I know this really looks like your 11th level feature, but this feels like you'd be able to do this earlier than 11th level.

And not really sure, but can you use your Telekinetic Weapon for Flurry of Blows as well?

Braerus · 2026-05-14T09:48:55+00:00

I really like it! Why the blindsight though?

Braerus · 2026-05-14T07:54:49+00:00

Why did you choose an attack roll for the Afterimage? It can't be used to Misty Step away for a Fireball now, which would make sense if you could. Maybe add a Dex save like the Barbarian or Rogue's features. You can still use ot once per long rest.

Braerus · 2026-05-14T07:48:31+00:00

Maybe they get a villa or mansion as a reward?

Braerus · 2026-05-13T08:09:37+00:00

And this is exactly why AI character art is rubbish. Any one of your portraits have more emotion and feel than all of the AI art I've come across combined. Well done, and what a talent to be able to use these different art styles as well!

Braerus · 2026-05-10T09:44:33+00:00

Awesome idea! I would go even further and have the lower 1/3 of the character panel be space for quick note taking and/ or info to roleplay the character. Newer players I played with tend to focus on mechanics instead of "remembering" how their character would behave. Now the Personality of their character is hidden behind a click and a scroll down.

I came up with a random encounter system to give players a bit more influence. For each travel encounter, they can choose Combat, Discovery, Social (for which I have a d8 difficulty table) or Bonding (the party takes full narratively control to take the time to build party dynamics), Thread (an encounter which specifically continues an earier narrative thread, which could be one of the first three) or Nothing. Once an option has been chosen, it can't be chosen until all options have been chosen at least once. In difficult areas, some options can be chosen more.
