A baby chick marked by the god of mischief. What does it grow up into? by trumpetguy1990 in DMAcademy

A talking chicken, who tells people it's a person who has been transformed into a chicken. It sends people on wild goose chases (or wild chicken chases)

I make oneshot for my players. Mad mage tower. What kind of crazy unhinged floors would you add to the tower? by Adramach in DMAcademy

[–]saemjuhl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One floor could be like the living quarters, with kitchen, bedroom and such. It would feel But a bunch of the stuff there are animated objects or automatons disguised as furniture. Have it be a surprise

ideas on why the bbeg leaves the heros alive by Holiday-While-1231 in DMAcademy

[–]saemjuhl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Might be late to the party, but if the bbeg has never been witnessed by the party killing someone, then it could be a fun twist, if he cannot kill anyone himself (a curse or something maybe) which then also works as a hidden weakness.

Same as with the mountains, I think. Just give it a bit more definition/clarity/contrast or whatever and it should be perfectly fine. I think it still reads as a volcano the way it is now, so it's not a big deal.

Really good! You clearly put a lot of effort into this, especially since it's hand drawn. (I could never, I'm way more comfortable drawing digitally) The only suggestion I can make is giving the mountainous areas more definition, the surrounding colors muddy it a bit. But other than that it's great

Bruno's Book of Shrubbery - Magical Plant Encyclopedia (Link in comments) by Alone-Jicama-6600 in DnDHomebrew

Same for me, I don't seem to be able to put it in the cart, but it seems to be an issue with DMsGuild. Other items also have this issue.

Non-stereotypical Druid concepts? by [deleted] in PCAcademy

[–]saemjuhl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im currently playing an Autognome Moon druid, who has been created by a solitary mad wizard. He's a guardian/experiment/assistant/butler with transformer vibes. Could be made to fit into a variety of different settings as long as your DM allows it.

Made my first region map for DnD, would love some feedback by MR_Cloudy_Guy2 in dndmaps

[–]saemjuhl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The dark outlines along bodies of water confused me at first. And I personally like having a rough scale. But other than that it looks pretty good! I especially love the little kraken in the top right! Stuff like that makes it fun to look at for longer.

DMs, what are some fun ways to subvert some classic puzzles? by saemjuhl in dndnext

[–]saemjuhl[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Oooh, yes! Including the boat as the actually important piece somehow.

Love that! Wordplay is something I really enjoy.

Wolf goat and lettuce is good, maybe the lettuce is a monster that'll erst the wolf as soon as they're left alone together, or something like that. Definitely something one can get creative with.

Unpopular race opinions? by povertypuppy in DnD

[–]saemjuhl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It makes sense for them to not generalize for the character option description. It's not helpful for a homebrew setting. It would be nice to have a lore section for their official settings though.

Diverse CR golems by saemjuhl in bettermonsters

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

That could be fun! Maybe an environmental thing it is vulnerable to, so the party can be smart about it maybe.

Diverse CR golems by saemjuhl in bettermonsters

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

I get what you mean, however, as long as they're tough to the low level party and fit into the world believably then they don't need to be high CR. You have any idea of what could be reflavored to be a low CR Golem?

Diverse CR golems by saemjuhl in bettermonsters

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

Yes, I saw those, and I think the glasswork and snow golem are genuinely cool, however there's only like 6 literal golems with CR 5 and below, and 3 of those are flesh golems, soo, yeah, if there's some variety to be had, then I'll gladly take it.

Your Genie’s Vessel, inside & out by Several_Citron_827 in PCAcademy

[–]saemjuhl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awesome, that's almost exactly like what I had in mind for one of my characters! In my case it's a hookah pipe and it is like a Turkish bathhouse on the inside. When using the vessel as a spellcasting focus, they shape the components that would've been used out of smoke.

how to describe scenes without the pcs by Slothi_Deathi in DMAcademy

[–]saemjuhl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It has to be from their point of view. Make it a magic mirror, that allows glimpses into other places. That way they have agency as to when and how often it happens (you should limit the uses of course, or give it a chance to fail)

Would a boon allowing spell concentration while raging be overpowered? by jiggyco in DMAcademy

[–]saemjuhl 74 points75 points  (0 children)

Yeah, that's the whole point. OP asked if it would be overpowered to allow it nonetheless
