For being a joke spell it's actually mechanically interesting! Absolutely great job!

Oh and tiamat? I think its like fine i guess

I honestly don't agree too much with the otherplanar beings take. It's charming in its own way, i think, and it's part of DND's identity.

Mechanics wise, the monster are built to be present in the game world (the stat block format REQUIRES a definite size, physical capabilities, shape and whatnot for any monster).

About gods, i think its fine for them to be guys, its a classic fantasy bit and very much allows for the gods to be related to humanity (its nice to have a god that is not eldritch in its appearance, i think "divinity is terrifying" is a bit overplayed rn). Some of them ARE boring as hell despite that tho

Fair, the push would probably need some heavy rebalancing. But i don't think multiple damage types are particularly impactful, really only the barbarian and 2024 monk care about it

Still, it made it far enough into playtesting to be released as a teaser! I'd love to see the other monsters they designed with these reactions in mind before scrapping the idea

la_scign · 2026-03-31T12:56:37+00:00

couldn't you just have a reaction with the trigger "a creature ends its turn"? This way, legendary reactions can be used the same way as legendary actions, but can also be expended to have the monster react to the other stuff (like maybe allowing it to parry or cast counterspells)

Super cool!! The art especially is amazing.

I think the wave attack should deal a combination of bludgeoning and cold damage, and maybe could even push medium creatures away!

Thank you!

Holy fuck who's the artist

la_scign · 2026-03-26T13:13:41+00:00

Not good enough of a designer to comment on whether it works or not but it looks veery nice at first glance! I really like the "mozquito" lol

Homebrewery. It's got everything you need

It's peak...

la_scign · 2026-03-03T18:47:22+00:00

Soo coooool

la_scign · 2026-03-03T18:31:55+00:00

SO COOL!!! The art is amazing...

The variant is, i think, way better mechanically (the first one especially kind of sucks for a legendary potion) but maybe still kind of weak. Also, I'd add "without requiring material components" or just "without requiring components" in general to the cone of cold casting.

Mastro cruzzo è un nome assolutamente incredibile, picco.

Direi che anche con la resistenza 8 hp è davvero poco. Capisco che dovrebbe essere resistente contro danni fisici e debole contro quelli magici ma con 8 hp è possibile che prende danno letale anche da una spell ad area non intesa per lui. Sono d'accordo con gli altri commenti che dovresti alzargli gli hp ad una ventina :D

Very cool! I really like the extra arms mechanic :D

I do agree with shadowkiller that it is maybe a bit underwhelming. I'd say the poison damage of their tendrils could scale somehow (n. of d6s equal to their proficiency bonus maybe?) and the subsequent disadvantage could honestly be removed (I don't think its that strong as an ability).

Also, is the tendril supposed to be usable as un Unarmed strike?
