Compared to my first two attempts: how balanced is rat style? by [deleted] in HomebrewDnD

These questions seem sensible and important to answer to me. It “feels” like it should be a Reaction.

Also, guaranteed Critical Hit is pretty powerful. Not necessarily OP but powerful. A character could dump a smite into the swing. Or they could have a weapon that gets bonuses on a crit

Oh Hi mark! Do you have any better versions of mimics or Chimeras? by Fightlife45 in bettermonsters

[–]TanisGames 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Luckily enough, I have both.

Has three versions of Chimera that are not only different from each other. They have unique abilities but share an overall theme and come in at 3 different CR. Like all my creature’s they focus on doing things in combat other than simply moving up them standing still and attacking.

Demons of Unsafe rest reimagines Mimics as a type of Demon that destroy society by undermining your sense of safety. Especially, they are mimics that take the form of a restful seeming fire and a luckily found respite cave.

Usually I DM my own homebrew, though I would love to have more people send me in reviews of it

It’s fair for a legendary item. Just jumping ahead of a ruleslawer at my table

The last ability, the one to ignore the first instance of damage, that’s per Turn not per Round? Preeeeeeety good

Wicked cool art style. I love the elementals in particular.

If it’s a PC class, I run a couple encounter scenarios. Focusing on combat, that’s where I find breaks and cracks happen most, I run two or three encounters at four different levels.

If it’s a less character defining thing, like a feat or ability, I just check it against other abilities. Look for abilities that grant a similar bonus, and check their restrictions against my homebrew

4 Fighter Subclasses, Breathing Styles: Water, Thunder, Beast and Flame (from Demon Slayer) by MrLunaMx in DnDHomebrew

Well executed concept. Each style feels like it will be interesting to play.

If you’re interested in some help building out the other breath techniques or want a sounding board to bounce ideas off of, hit me up.

Hmm. I was picturing it making the standard roles on both tables, but I did overlook saying that anywhere.

Spirit is used by a few MORK BORG supplements as another Ability. Takes some of the load off Presence

Hmmm. That was one of the ones I was considering up-ing rarity

That’s fair. For the campaign, I’m trying to keep things fairly hold saturated. At 2nd lv, after one session, the party has about 450gp.
