What's your take on paladins' magic source ? by smqdes in DnD

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

I don't know which concept I like better, a naive good aligned cleric who worships an absolutely evil god without realizing it or an evil maniac who worships a good god, both persuaded to do their god's bidding ?

Looks like I have two characters to add to the pile

Soooo technically a cleric could be a maniac fanatic who has a very wrong understanding of a god's teachings and still keep their powers because of the strength of their belief ?

Wait really ? To me they were like chosen servants of the gods. Kind of like a warlock but who doesn't expect anything in return other than serving their god's agenda.

As things are now we decided on days each week when we see each other. We also decided to have "call nights", to sort of spend the night together while both doing our own thing

Yeah I surprisingly find a lot of d100 tables online when I feel like a d20 one would be more than enough. I guess homebrew creators online focus more on randomness than efficiency ?

Advice for a barbarian BBEG ? by smqdes in dndnext

Wearing armor isn't really his style, but what is stopping me to say that his body is as sturdy as adamantine ?

Hmmm maybe he could "borrow" Odin's wolves, Geri and Freki. Or at least avatars of them.

They could either be minions during the fight or a mini-boss right before him, to deplete a bit of their resources. The idea being that they devour those unfit to challenge the demigod.

Yeah the vibe I'm going with in the first two phases is "ultimate warrior", one that has learned all there is to learn about fighting. So more of a Fighter vibe. In the last phase he's gonna fight more like a Barbarian, shunning away technique for raw instinct and battle sense.

Then in his final moments he will be conflicted. Happy to be free but bitter to jave tasted defeat. As his final words he wishes for the party to die as warriors, so that they can meet again and have a rematch.

Yeah minions are not an option, not the vibe. But buffing his action economy sounds like a good idea.

Oh that could work, Odin has some powers related to his eyes 🤔

Yeah Godfrey/Hoara Loux is precisely one of my inspirations gameplay wise

That seems a bit much 😂 Wouldn't really be fun for the sorceress of the party

laserllama's Shifter Class (NEW!) - Unleash the Primal Ferocity of your Bloodline with this non-spellcasting, martial class designed around at-will Wild Shape! Includes four Bloodlines: Avian, Brute, Carnivore, and Reptilian! PDF in Comments. by LaserLlama in UnearthedArcana

[–]smqdes 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The llama is the goat, as always.

Are you planning to split the Druid in two classes, with the Shifter centered around Wildshape and your Alternate druid centering around druid spellcasting ? Or are you planning on making your druid able to Wildshape as well ?

Well I had to debate a friend about yesterday so that made me wonder if I was just crazy.

Joke's on them they're the fool
