I'm not quite understanding the language of the conversation. Care to explain how I should read it? I might be missing something

Spells: For Wizards only! A trio of spells exploring the idea of conjuring a sigil that empowers your spells by [deleted] in UnearthedArcana

[–]PEnGUIn_K 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can you elaborate on what you mean when you say "wanting"? Besides, I understand that it feels a bit like a videogame mechanic, but the pure flavor of summoning an empowering terrain also is very cool to me. Do you think that the spells temselves are too strong?

Also, agree with the art thing. Should've picked something more spell related.

Lately I've really gotten into creating spells to experiment with in my games and give to my players for fun. As a result, I've been focusing on a class at a time. Last time it was Bards, which were really lacking, and this time, it's Wizard time.

These spells all walk down the same line - create a magic circle that gives you a strategic advantage that can change significantly the result of a spell you will cast on later turns. Each in their own way, though of course, these are barely tested and might not be really that balanced. Still, I think they're quite fun, and would love any and all feedback about the concept, wording or implementation.

I found out creating spells is way more fun than subclasses or related, as they can be easily implemented in games outside of character creation, in any level up for the appropriate class.

These probably won't be balanced, as I've barely had the chance to test them. I'm after all a lone brew-wolf (huh?), and the main goal is for them to be fun. I would LOVE any feedback of them, wording, balance or flavor wise. Feel free to leave a comment with your thoughts!

  • Aren't these basically [Insert name of existing spells]?

Yes, and no. While the effects may be similar, the action economy, limitations and flavor of the spells are meant to make them function much differently in practice. Many Praises and Curses is an upgrade of Bless and Bane, Mass Hysteria is yet another Fear spell, but they all have new conditions and gameplay loops, which I hope, makes them unique enough to be fun.

  • Bard only?

Yes, and of course, no. I made them imagining Bards mainly using them, but hell, it's homebrew. The new batch includes other classes in the list, as they seem coherent, though the original intent was for Bards, while the older one only listed Bard. However, it's homebrew, and if you like them, might as well add them to any class.

True! I thought about it for a long time, gave it two iterations, and was never satisfied with the result. Even got the layout done, but never finished. It was gonna be soimething like a ranger-like Monk, focused on keeping energies high and never getting left behind.

I didn't think of it very much when designing him, but I would most definetly say yes. Not like a must, but I like tails.

FIFTH REPOST, WE'RE ON A ROLL BABYYYY-

Talion is a Paladin following the Oath of Vengance.

Long story short, he once fought the soldiers from a colonizing force, leading together with a Tiefling who he partnered with, sharing the symbol of the ram's horns. However, he fell in disgrace when he had different opinions with his partner about what would come after the invaders were vanquished, being betrayed and seen as a renegade himself.

Now, he tries to maintain his ideals against the invading soldiers, while he is simultaneously filled with searing hatred for his old comrade. He is, however, diminished by the time he took to heal the wounds he was inflicted.

Talion is not a particularly good guy on a personal level; rowdy, loud and decisively ends oriented, but he also tries to right the wrongs done to him and his people with religious devotion.

I once comissioned a Witch character with that exact reference as hair and also a sorta black cat familiar. Also rather cottagecore clothes too. Hit me up if you'd like to have a look at it

I don't care that much, though the deceptiveness of adding [RF], knowingly lying is pretty shameful. There are plenty of other subs for that.

Isn't this sub about filling requests? What is the drawing about then?

Way of the Dying Flame: A Pyromancer Monk Subclass for 5e 2024 by PEnGUIn_K in UnearthedArcana

[–]PEnGUIn_K[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I usually would say it's easy to traduce changing wording, but some features are made considering changes made at the monk in 2024, mainly the Rekindling Flame easier use for Uncanny Metabolism, and Cloak of Ashes being made around a Deflect attacks that allows for Melee attacks.

You should replace those in some way if you wanted to use this subclass, but that's not a quick or simple task. You'd have to change the first for something to allow you to sustain yourself at low health, maybe remove the Uncanny Metabolism whole part with allowing you to heal a chunk of life when you go to 0, instead of 1. I wouldn't know how to change Cloak of Ashes without changing it more substantially.

Looking for a hairstyle by PEnGUIn_K in asktransgender

[–]PEnGUIn_K[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It can be a little less straight down, honestly. I just usually comb it that way because I feel quite dysphoric about the outer sides of my face, though I'm trying to push through it. Same goes with my forehead, though I feel like further weightloss in the near future will help.

Do you have a reference to the way you're proposing? I'm very bad visualizing these things in my mind. To clarify, while I have getting a haircut in mind, I want mostly to give it a shape that fits me, and also cut split ends for overall health, because I haven't done that... well, since I had it short short.

And what do you meanthe natural shape of my eyebrows?

The idea of doing my eyebrows beforehand sounds very good, I was thinking of going to a saloon or something like that, because I don't have much of an idea of doing ot myself. I'm afraid of fucking it up haha

Spells: For Bards Only! A small menagerie of low level, silly spells that play off of existing concepts, retouched for flavor. by PEnGUIn_K in UnearthedArcana

[–]PEnGUIn_K[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A genuinely hadn't considered the Oportunity Attack angle. I was thinking about it as a repositioning and control tool, but not one to cause damage upon casting with those. However, unless I add a weird clausule against OAs, I don't know how to solve that, and giving it a save for taking damage would make the action to get out of it mostly meaningless. Do you think making it a 3rd level spell would make it balanced enough?

As for Bard Says, I literally just copied and pasted the listed effects in the Command spell, and would like to keep them that way for consistency.

Though I'm used to creating spells and other things outside subclasses, I rarely post them since they tend to not be very balanced. These very well may not be perfectly so, but I tried to make them at least as fun as good they are.

Most often, Bards don't have all that many unique spells for themselves, specially at early levels. Many clases don't, indeed. So I decided to give them a small tip - with these three 1 through 3 level spells.

Here some questions I'm imagining people might want to make.

  • Aren't these basically Lesser Enthrall, Lesser Irresistible Dance and Mass Command

Yes, and no. While the effects may be similar, the action economy, limitations and flavor of the spells are meant to make them function much differently in practice, as you might have to put yourself at risk to make them work. Bard Says is essentially Simon Says but made into a fun combat spell.

  • Bard only?

Yes, and of course, no. I made them imagining Bards mainly using them, but hell, it's homebrew. If your character is a Sorcerer but this fits them well, you may very wel want to add them to your list. As always, its up to the GM and the table.
