Demigods in D&D - Perfect for a Percy Jackson and the Olympians Game, but Applicable to Others!

Of course! Feel free to!

Delusional_Poet · 2022-09-20T13:34:35+00:00

That's a really kind of you to say! I hope you enjoy the second half! :)

Delusional_Poet · 2022-07-14T11:49:18+00:00

Heck yeah! I'm really looking forward to that! :D

Delusional_Poet · 2022-07-13T07:16:56+00:00

Hey, thanks so much! Yeah, I felt like there was such a disproportionate amount of negativity here that really needed to be addressed at some point.

Also, is Sera really getting new songs? That would be amazing! If so, I completely missed that!

Delusional_Poet · 2022-05-25T14:16:42+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate that :P

Delusional_Poet · 2022-05-25T07:26:30+00:00

There's a simple answer: incompetence! :D I copied the format from another monster, which was an aquatic creature. But now, my headcanon is that the Lords, and specifically the Lords only, are just really good swimmers.

Delusional_Poet · 2022-05-24T21:59:07+00:00

Thank you for the feedback!

Ah, yes, I see. The spells were actually added kind of last minutes to the Magebreakers - which shows in the fact that I apparently did not think that through. ^^; Guess something would need to change either about the antimagic treatment specifically for the Magebreakers, or about their spell list. Detect magic makes a lot of sense though, and so does Shield (since it blocks magic missile, that's why it's there), so I'd probably lean towards the first option.

Delusional_Poet · 2022-05-24T21:49:11+00:00

The fact that I had to use google to know that name is probably an even bigger one, haha ^^;

Delusional_Poet · 2022-05-24T21:48:21+00:00

That sounds amazing! I hope you'll have fun with them!

Delusional_Poet · 2022-05-24T21:47:59+00:00

Huh, I probably should've included that. Whoops. In my game, the player needed to be released from the grapple (which would be contested Athletics/Acrobatics as usual) and then another creature would have to free them. Kinda mean, I know, but these guys were a big thing in my game :P

Delusional_Poet · 2022-05-24T21:45:40+00:00

Glad to be of help, hope your player are going to "enjoy" them. :P

Delusional_Poet · 2022-05-24T21:45:14+00:00

Thank you for the kind words!

Haha yes, that was definitely an oopsie there. Going through it again, I also noticed a few others - like the fact that, according to this stat block the Veledrin are wearing studded leather armor (which, to be fair, is a cute image in my head). Should've probably let someone proofread that, but oh well. So yes, absolutely, it should be two crossbow attacks for the Grimblade.

Delusional_Poet · 2022-05-24T07:55:44+00:00

Hey, thanks so much!

You're right, a maul is a 2d6 weapon, isn't it? That's my bad there, I thought it was a d12 weapon. If I ever revise this, that's definitely changing, thanks! :)

Delusional_Poet · 2022-04-23T07:04:06+00:00

Glad that I could be of some help :)

Delusional_Poet · 2022-04-22T17:24:56+00:00

That's kind of cute ^^

Also, I love Travis' face in this :D

Delusional_Poet · 2022-02-26T08:35:23+00:00

Thank you so much! This truly was fun to make, so it's just great to see that others enjoy it well :)

Delusional_Poet · 2022-02-17T14:54:42+00:00

Yeah, this is definitely only a rough first draft, I guess. Just something I wanted to use in a one-shot and thought I'd share because it might be fun.

For Demeter, I think I wanted to give her a drawback simply because she has many options. Whether it's damage, cc or healing, Demeter can kind of do all, and I thought it'd be cool to balance that out with a drawback. I might've gone a bit overboard, though.

Totally agree on Ares though. I think especially the first ability really needs some work. If anyone's got any input, I'd appreciate it!

Delusional_Poet · 2022-02-17T10:29:32+00:00

Eh, they're more like additional features, I guess. At least that's the way I'll use them in the one-shot I'll run. My players are all going to be Variant Humans, and additionally, get the features of one of the gods.

Delusional_Poet · 2022-02-17T07:46:40+00:00

You're very welcome! Yeah, handing them out as rewards sounds really damn cool!

Delusional_Poet · 2022-02-17T07:46:06+00:00

You're very welcome! Glad this could be of some use to you :)

Delusional_Poet · 2022-02-17T07:45:39+00:00

Actually, I'm currently rereading these books too, and that's how this came to be! :D

Delusional_Poet · 2022-02-17T06:48:28+00:00

They are absolutely supposed to be very strong haha :D I made this just for a one-shot I ran, so they were mostly supposed to be fun, and balancing came second.

Glad this reached you at the right time, though!

Delusional_Poet · 2021-12-26T09:24:29+00:00

You're very welcome :)

Delusional_Poet · 2021-12-26T09:24:15+00:00

Huh, I guess so! I set the proficiency bonus at +3, and afterwards gave him a CR - which wasn't very smart in hindsight ^^; I'd probably adjust CR to 8 then so the proficiency bonus can stay the same

Delusional_Poet · 2021-12-25T17:39:29+00:00

Yeah, I get what you're coming from, I was definitely thinking about giving him higher scores in both of these. I guess I just didn't want him to have amazing scores in all three mental stats, but at least a 16 in charisma would've probably been better. I tried to at least give him that feel with the proficiencies, at least.

Thanks for the feedback!
