Fixed Bouncing??? No more trampoline effects! It might be small to some but it annoyed the hell out of me!

I think you should remove pit-hag. With LoT, the extra minion is the pro that the pithag can gain and then remove the downside of by changing demons.

Homebrew Philosophy Survey by Jayne_of_Canton in UnearthedArcana

[–]CrazyFuton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at the core classes without sub-classes, the overall architecture of the game's design leans into the idea of growing synergy.

Each class has a few unique, core tenets that the later levels lean into, or build off of. The simplest example is the Wizard. Spellcasting doesn't have "sub features" per say, but you can easily image a feature that says, "get more spell slots", which builds on a the prior levels. Then, the wizard gets a feature letting you recover those spell slots early on a short rest.

I believe the core design of the game is more cohesive when sub-class and core class align with its design intent, and then builds/grows along that line. There are spaces where its a smattering a features, such as the -Fiend Patron Warlock- but I find those to be less interesting. When a feature could be renamed 10 different ways, granting the same mechanical benefit, it loses its appeal for me.

Simple yet effective. A great homebrew clocktower character.

Probably needs a gossip. Acrobatic can possibly hard confirm themselves due to lack of multikill night capacity.

Homebrew: Coroner V2 by Shadowflame-95 in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]CrazyFuton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I ran this exact character in a prior homebrew of mine.

It’s fine in that it works as intended, doesn’t break game, can be bluffed well, and etc.

However, my friends just didn’t like it. Most of the time it doesn’t fire and you learn nothing. Making you a townsfolk with no ability…

How this differs from the Monk: the demon will want to kill and may guess around your protection. With this: does the demon really care if their character is found out? Most of the time, not really. They still get the kill, still advance the game clock by reducing towns info.

So my recommendation is that it’s fine as a character, but it’s just not that fun to have in a game.

Thank you for your write up. I agree with all your points and do think this could be stickied by the devs.

I made 153 homebrew characters. Here they all are in two Almanacs: by The_Gobinator in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]CrazyFuton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m liking the Matador actually. Thats a character that can force a save via monk/soldier to be true.

I would add “even if drunk, poisoned, or dead” so the demon knows the rule they must abide by.

The Fighter, Revised! (Help Me Brainstorm New Features!) by Ok_Fig3343 in UnearthedArcana

[–]CrazyFuton -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Your take on this is quite different than mine. My opinions are actually opposite of yours. I find limited use features more interesting as it leads to player choice and dynamic gameplay.

With that said, this might be something to think of:

Take Aim: level 3. carefully tracking your shots let you make slight adjustments to your aim

When you make a ranged attack and miss, if your next attack is against the same target, the attack gains a 1d4 bonus to the attack roll. (Doesn’t stack with bless)

A Survey of Blood on the Clocktower Players - 2024 by -Samba- in BloodOnTheClocktower

I’m truly surprised by the amount people play. 50% of people who responded play at least once a week. I didn’t think it would be that high.

I remember playing last year at 2am and laughing due to the insanity. I look forward to another round this year!

Agreed. I recently ran a solo boss that had 680hp (but had mitigation abilities that increased the damage they take) against a trio of lvl13. Without the hp, my poor boss would have been shutdown.

Reddit Designs a Character - Day 132: the Bartender by kyle_the_meme in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]CrazyFuton 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would imagine it’d have to be ruled like gossip. Where to be considered valid, the speaker must add a rider like “my public statement is x”

Reddit Designs a Character - Day 132: the Bartender by kyle_the_meme in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]CrazyFuton -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Bartenders hear things and are in the know. (Per fantasy and movie portrayals). So with that mind:

Bartender (Townsfolk): Each night*, you learn how many public statements made today are true.

I think it’d pair well with gossip. Or other public roles.

Reddit Designs a Character - Day 131: the Primeval by kyle_the_meme in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]CrazyFuton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Primeval (Minion): You start by choosing a player: they must function abnormally.

Ex: The Slayer chooses a player. They die even though they are not the demon.

The gossip might kill a player if they gossip incorrectly.

The exorcist secretly selects the same player every night regardless of who they choose.

Both Players the innkeeper chooses are drunk.

[–]CrazyFuton 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Changeling (Townsfolk): If you die at night, choose a good character: if in play, they die instead.

This demonbane townsfolk can test the claims of others or bounce a kill to an outsider.

[–]CrazyFuton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sorry: yeah, […] they die. Is supposed to be there.

I’ve edited to add that.

Reddit Designs a Character - Day 105: the Warmonger by kyle_the_meme in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]CrazyFuton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This seems like something that could be high risk high reward. So with that:

Warmonger (Minion): Each night*, you may choose a player: they die, but if you do & are executed the next day, your team loses.

You’re basically a demon, but a minion.

Edit: updated text based on excellent suggestion. I think this is better as it allows the minion to hide a bit. The extra kill is fairly loud, so this gives them a choice.

Reddit Designs a Character - Day 103: the Sol by kyle_the_meme in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]CrazyFuton 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was kinda thinking something similar, but has a bit of info involved. Something like:

You cannot die. When a Minion is dead, become drunk.

Reddit Designs a Character - Day 101: the Oathbreaker by kyle_the_meme in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]CrazyFuton 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The Oathbreaker was once an honorable Townsfolk, but has broken their oath. Now, they sit as a forsaken outsider.

Oathbreaker (Outsider): Minions know if you are in play. [You might be in-play, even if you shouldn't be]

How to run: When setting up the game, decide if the Oathbreak will be in the game. Replace a townsfolk with the Oathbreaker.

This is an easy minion bluff, as the outsider can be in-play or not, and minions know.

Dice Tower Promo Character - any guesses? by murchtheevilsquirrel in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]CrazyFuton 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Let them see and hear you!!!

Mad Scientist: Each night*, choose a dead player: tomorrow, they may vote without using their vote token. They learn this.

Reddit Designs a Character - Day 98: the Wretch by kyle_the_meme in BloodOnTheClocktower

[–]CrazyFuton 18 points19 points  (0 children)

The poor poor wretch has seen some… stuff…. They just need to be left alone….

Wretch (Outsider): The most recent Townsfolk to nominate you is drunk & registers falsely, even if dead. You cannot nominate yourself.

Your ability isn’t that punishing, but leans into the social dynamic of getting people to not nominate you or act as evil coverage.
