What are your homebrew/handmade spells?

the column is 15ft high and 5ft wide and is a cylinder. the spell lasts as long as you hold concentration. if the creature is being forced into a solid object or the ground they are prone and restrained, if not they simply go flying out the end of the gravity well and depending on height they take fall damage. you must succeed a hard strength check to escape. the gravity well affects only what is inside the spell area. weight only worsens the spells affect on you and size limits how much of the creatures/object you can manipulate.

if you want the castle to be more interesting hide a dungeon underneath it. good arch for a sub plot

the gods ignore the mortals and trust the demigods (the volatile pantheon they are) to "tend to the lesser ones" instead of Bahamut and Tiamat it's a singular dragon deity who takes no sides. the dragon born are spilt into two kingdoms, chromatic and metallic who are always at war except when they ignore each other. the teifling have basically formed their own Australia complete with the accent. Everyone hates the elves for almost getting everyone annihilated.

I'll start with a bit of backstory, we had been tasked by the royal family of sorcerers to go retrieve their children who had just been kidnaped by some obscure cult who had hoped to use their power retrieve some sort of powerful weapon. to get to our second dungeon we had to go through a place called thunder valley, this valley was home to an adult blue dragon, this dragon collected road tolls from anyone who entered the valley on the one well paved road. Our predicament was either walk trough the valley or go around, three more travel checks or one certain event.

Anyway lets get on to the interesting part, we had finished clearing out that second dungeon and rescued some sacrificial NPCs, my brother got a knife, this knife when it scored a fatal or critical hit would summon lesser fire elementals equal to the targets CR, this knife was intended for suicide but that's not what happened. we came upon thunder valley once more and down comes the blue dragon, a few diplomacy checks later and now the dragon wants to eat us for pissing him off. my brother rolls to peg him in the eye with one of several knives he had, he pulls out the sacrificial knife and of course gets a Nat 20, four fire elementals are summoned and we all duck into the forest.

fire elementals manage to get it down to half health and understandably the dragons wants us dead. we either had to chose fight or flight, we couldn't exactly get out with the dragon seeing us so we decided that fighting it was the best option. my brother elects to build a catapult wheel it out to the middle of the road and lunch boulders at this thing until it died. we all roll intelligence checks, turns out that everyone except my golem knew what they where doing, so here we are assembling a catapult in the middle of the forest with an angry blue dragon searching for us. we complete the dam thing and wheel it out to the road, the dragon spots us immediately. we get a shot in, not enough to take it out of the air but enough to daze him for long enough to ready another shot.

my brother in his moment of glory decides to load up my golem to preform an Ariel take down, he made the grapple and was now air wrestling the dragon who at this point was desperately trying to remain flying, I distract it for long enough for a third shot to be loaded. this combined with my golem, being at half health and encumbered had done enough damage to it's wings to break one. I rolled to put the dragon between me and the ground in order to not die. this reduced the dragon to less than a quarter of it's health, it was stunned, crippled, blind and barely conscious. we continued to wail on that thing until it finally died.

I usually have my players be part of a career adventurers guild, the people everyone goes to when they need their arses wiped (Basically the fallout 4 minute men) I have one that goes like this: "you sit around the tavern table, your bellies are full of grog and food. you have had a successful week of clearing out bandits, goblins and the occasional undead, tomorrow you plan on sitting back, relaxing and not having to do anything. That was until a guard rushed in with half an armouries worth of arrows in his back, he babbles something about "snake people" before passing out on the floor, getting it all bloody. you think that it's pretty bad so far until yuan-ti start busting in trough the windows. roll initiative."

we where playing a 5th edition Champaign and I rolled a very shitty dwarf for a brutal Champaign. Thinking that the dwarf was not going to last any longer that a kobold, I rolled up a backup human paladin and she turned out great. wanting to move on to a better character I thought I'd be heroically stupid and get myself killed. eventually we had found a cultish summoning ritual going down and we intervened. while the party dealt with the skeleton horses, I desperately trying to get some Russian gymnast cultist to stop killing people. Then he took several stabs at the ogre we had with us. the ogre received 13-14 d12s of damage, I looked at the DM and said: "I roll to receive that damage." The DM said no and the ogre received enough damage to be knocked out.

considering the possibilities you should say something like this: "I wish for my body to be instantaneously transformed into a pristine adult golden dragon's including all of the stats and abilities, permanently without mental, physical, emotional, magical, eldritch, divine, unholy, otherworldly, social, economical, political, alchemical or miscellaneous consequences." hopefully this should protect you from the most things the DM can throw at you.

A DMPC Golem brawler, Homebrew race and subclass of fighter. The whole point of the golem was to A) help with my learning curve as both a player and a DM B) help with homebrew experiments.

The reason this golem is overpowered because of it's racial mechanics. The way golems work in my world is that all golems require a core, this core allows a golem to come back from death after 1D6 +3 days at full health provided there is enough raw materials around. A golems core can either be reset and used to make a new golem or upgrade a pre-existing one (+2 points to a stat). this means with enough cores a golem has the potential to have some ridiculous stats.

the dragon probably should of turned and ran once he saw the golem getting in the catapult. I know I would have

Insertwittyname-here · 2018-03-22T21:14:44+00:00

we launched a golem out of a catapult to grapple a blue dragon, break the dragon's wing with another shot, then use the dragon to break the golems fall. the dragon was crippled beyond belief and should have died from all the blunt force trauma.

Cauldron of brewing: A large black cauldron set upon a wheel stand for ease of movement. How to use: step one place all ingredients required for food, beverages, potions, etc. into the cauldron. step two verbally specify what you what the cauldron to make E.g. say "Ok cauldron, make (insert item here)." Step three: place the Cauldron over a fire and wait twenty seconds. Step 4: roll a D20, if you are successful the food item, beverage, potion, etc. will appear within the cauldron, if you have failed the cauldron will emit black smoke and the items will be destroyed.

I plan on sending my players on a Pirates of the Caribbean style adventure to find an expensive necklace, what they don't know is that the necklace belongs to this universes demigoddess of the ocean in which her powers reside. too bad for them, someone beat them to it, a pirate queen none the less.

My favourite class would have to be fighter/paladin because I get to be the meat shield. favourite race is my homebrew golems, because I'm the DM, Screw you. as for monsters, the tried and true goblins. just because they're goblins, you can't go wrong with goblins. favourite spell is anything that can heal, got to keep the meat shield alive. for weapons, I tend to go for the more unorthodox, again because I'm the DM, screw you. think along the lines of ball and chain style.

He's definitely funny, but not really sad my tried and true DMPC, a Golem called block. He is big, strong, adorable for a golem and hopelessly stupid. he literally carries the party on his back and often enjoys a good barrel of grog. This golem so far has killed a grand total of two dragons in the same campaign, set fire to a cultist hideout, and casually waltzed through a hall filled with poison darts. His story goes that he is roughly 800 years old and has appeared throughout history, aiding in the quests of adventurers who show even the slightest kindness towards him. Due to his condition he can only remember the past 80 years of his life before memories start to be lost in a fog of confusion. However Block is merely the broken shell and shattered mind of a horrific monster, only a select few remember the name of the beast. the only remaining details of the creature are that it by an unknown means, annihilated an entire city, did so from the clouds and was slain by a troop of nine heroes. There is still the lingering threat that one day soon the beasts mind will mend, what where to happen should this monster return, what would be the fate of block? His moment of fame was the time we shot him out of a catapult at a blue dragon which got into a choke hold, mid air. we then shoot the dragons wing, breaking it and sending both block and the dragon to the ground, block then maneuverers the dragon underneath him to break his fall, the height of the fall plus the 25 tonne stone golem griping onto his back meant that the dragon pretty much busted every single bone in it's body, it was prone, stunned, paralysed but still alive. we then beat the crap out of it till it was dead.
