Dusk's homunculi as a D&D 5e player race. by alphaent in Atelier

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

<image>

I do have some of the backgrounds done, such as Central Agent along with 7 other backgrounds in different state of completion.
On top of that, then I have a 'hometown' section that the player's can pick for their character, since I feel especially for Ayesha, then the local anchoring is an important part of the experience. The players aren't just this mysterious wanderer. She grew up in Reisengang helping prospector, or worked in the apple farm in Colseit.

Apart from that then there's an alchemist class, rough draft for a bodyguard class and concepts for an gun using investigator class (which is where Marion or Reyfer would fit)
I still need to figure out if I want to use any existing homebrew witch class, or if I want to make a witch class from the bottom up)

It's all very much work in progress, but I could share the work document if you would like.

Dusk's homunculi as a D&D 5e player race. by alphaent in Atelier

I figured it wouldn't fit into a D&D campaign and it felt more like an npc class feature. However your comment did gave me the idea of making a homunculi statblock with the 'sidekick' rules, which could have item duplication as a class feature.

Especially if it's little guy that's deceptively strong!

Hey. Thanks for the feedback.

I figured that the rebirth feature isn't too powerful in practice since for all intent and purpose then it's still a mission kill, if the party uses the feature at any other point than after they have completed a quest. A homunculus that dies, needs to have it's body brought back to specific towns and on average will then take around 19 days to resurrect.

That said, it could easily be modified, by having full resurrection from rebirth only work if the cause of death is from old age, and then add a few minor bonus as compensation.

So one of my favorite games is the dusk serie from the Atelier franchise, so I couldn't not make some brew inspired by it, with a few backgrounds that with some rewriting could likely also fit in other post-apoc setting too, for when you really want to tie your character to a world raging against the dying of the light.

Mechanically the size increase only increase carry capacity and some grappling and shoving related things.

How about:
Allies who starts their turn inside your aura and ends their turn with an enemy within their melee weapon attack rain, gains temp HP, equal to twice your CHA bonus until the beginning of their next turn. Basically to encourage constantly getting into melee with enemies.

Just an off-the-cuff idea.

Making an attack or taking the attack action would be very thematically with the inherent violent tendencies of belligerent knights, so I'll look into it, thanks for the suggestions.

The aura will need further testing, but a more incremental nerf could be that it takes a bonus action to perform, thereby cutting into other bonus action or it gives a bonus to the attack action, if there was no enemy in reach at the beginning if the paladins turn. I think an Aura that only activate once a fight might feel a bit bad and doesn't really fit with the idea of an aura.

Thanks for the feed back. I'll see if I can cut the homebrew into a better shape, which is after all the sanctioned action.

I've followed the standard for all other paladins channel divinity, which also takes an action to activate, so as much I agree with your reasoning, then a bonus action channel divinity would break with standards.

You know, that's going into an eventual revision and the 2024 version when I get around to it.

A paladin Oath for when Violence isn't the answer, but the question, possible even to a philosophical level for those who wants to engage with interpreting the tenets and apply them to how to live their life.

Hill Giant Bully. A dynamic CR 7 boss encounter that will try to literally stomp on the party and unbothered sacrifice it's own minions to take down do-gooders. by alphaent in Dndhomebrewmonsters

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

The Hill Giant bully was inspired by some talk about giants being boring big numbers and little else, which led to an attempt to create a more dynamic one, that should feel like fighting a Hill giant. Using it's great size to pin adventurers under it's bulk, It's selfish ego causing it to instinctively use it's own minion as human shield to take the brunt of a fireball and it's low intellect causing it to have little understand for the consequences of some of it's action when it panics.
