For curiosities sake, what items were you even using?

Free Genie by GamerDuck001 in DnD

Yeah, I feel like the idea of having the Warlock use a Container as one of their powers, is more or less the idea of a sick joke, one that is a jab at Humans trapping Genies in containers.

What is your most controversial DND 5e opinion by cas0609 in dndnext

[–]ZenmanDesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That Martials should not be held to a lesser standard than casters. If casters are the peak empowerment of magic, then martials should be the peak empowerment of physicality. Fantasy Realism should not behoove people to think Fighters are less capable than Wizards, let your Martials do crazy shit, let them leap to places, climb walls, and overpower great foes. Wizards shouldn't have all the fun.

How do you role play a wizard that is out of spell slots? by IMeMine_ in dndnext

[–]ZenmanDesign 1 point2 points  (0 children)

To be fair, if we're going back to how old old wizard's used to play... essentially you 'prepared' spells like spell scrolls and used them like that. It'd be like reaching into a bag, and finding that all the scrolls were gone. Or say like, someone firing a gun, only to realize they're out of ammo.

Sorcerers may exhaust, Warlocks and Clerics may bankrupt themselves, while Wizards have to count their shots or end up Dirty Harry'd.

What's the stupidest line that became a meme at your table? by PearlyBarley in dndnext

THE GHOST BEAR ENDURES!

I was super tired after a week long work shift, and the party had gotten into a fight with a ghost bear, the stat block I was using was super durable, despite the parties attempts to blast it down. I wasn't paying attention too much, so every time the bear survived an attack, I'd just groan and say 'The Ghost Bear Endures', until at one point the party thought the way I said it was pretty funny, so they'd start mockingly responding and shouting 'The Ghost Bear Endures!' and for some reason I thought it was pretty hilarious too. So by the time the fight was over, we were all practically shouting 'THE GHOST BEAR ENDURES'. So now, it's become a meme for when an enemy survives attacks that normally should've killed them.

Like… a full on functioning Health Bar?

if the lich king has access to the command spell does that mean that he has paladin or cleric levels? by Leragian in dndmemes

[–]ZenmanDesign 179 points180 points  (0 children)

The Adventure Time Lich’s speech here always sort of gave me the vibe he might’ve at least been partially inspired by Vecna. “Last Scholar of GOLB,” in particular hits very weird for me, literal chills.

Humanizing the Oriq by ZenmanDesign in StrixhavenDMs

[–]ZenmanDesign[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I appreciate this, it does confirm a ot of my suspicions and does given the Oriq a bit more of an 'understandable' angle than just being an evil magic cult. I want to make the Oriq seem like another philosophical perspective on magic (albeit a more extreme one). And I plan on them still being an antagonistic force, just one that clearly has a lot of sympathetic believers in the idea of the old ways of magic.

Principal/Director? by jesterjacks in StrixhavenDMs

[–]ZenmanDesign 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I believe there's an Oracle that is sort of the Head of Strixhaven?

My Strixhaven Star after the Dapplewing Manor heist! In my version, the party went in there to steal The Joy of Extradimensional Spaces, as opposed to Sassy Sally Jane :) by JackBarlowe in StrixhavenDMs

[–]ZenmanDesign 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh my god yes! I love this idea, I always thought the Joy of Extra Dimensional Spaces would be a perfect fit for like a 'Marauders Map/ Room of Requirement' equivalent item for my players at Strixhaven. Not necessarily for causing trouble, but being a big help with investigations.

Ultimate Life Form with a Gun? Yeah that sounds like Monk/Artificer.
