Using my character Nathan from my Curse of Strahd campaign for my first Baldur's Gate playthrough. Based on his own anecdotal evidence he can assure you, killing a vampire is easy, actually.

Hey I did a thing and remembered!

Okay, so, here we stand at the first Artificer subclass that I did. This one is all about becoming a cyborg.

This was a fun one to build, and I absolutely had John Silver in mind while I wrote it, as well as some other cyborg/android inspirations, like Android 16 and Mercy Graves.

I also threw in a few Artificer infusions that I felt were fitting for the subclass.

As usual, the homebrewery link to this subclass can be found here and I welcome any feedback, especially if you play it!

Stay fresh, cheesebags!

Creating a Thematic Bard

Through Bardic Magical Secrets, any Bard can pick up any 6-8 spells of their choosing depending on their subclass. I thought I’d go through some thematic options for a Bard to choose from to cater to different themes and archetypes the Bard aspires to do.

And of course, you can always mix and match. Going for a Fire Dragon theme? Mix the Pyrodancer and A Dance of Dragons spell lists. As an example:

LOVE AMONG THE DRAGONS 6th Dragon’s Breath, Fireball 10th Flame Strike, Summon Draconic Spirit 14th Investiture of Flame, Draconic Transformation 18th Illusory Dragon, Meteor Swarm

These are all the bard themes I could think of, but if you can think of some more that I missed, or have better suggestions for some of my choices, let me know your own thematic magical secrets builds. Obviously, these were made with the Lore Bard in mind, since it gets the most magical secrets, but I’m sure some synergize better with other bard types, such as Song of War with the College of Valor. I just used Lore as the default. How well do these magical secrets builds work for you?

I'm catching up on a year's worth of World of Darkness News (oops) and am shocked to learn that VtM, v5 has its own wiki now. Like, an entire wiki of JUST fifth edition stuff, soft-monitored by Paradox's World of Darkness. It's so clean and pretty.

AND it doesn't have like, character pages yet. The only mention of specific NPCs are on Lore sheets or under a "Notable Characters" section of the Clan pages.

...do you know how many Willpower rolls I'm doing to not write a Cuthbert Beckett entry

Brawlin’

Two characters from a DnD game I used to play in. Amos is the character on the left, Raz is the character on the right. Amos is a goat-like variant of firbolg and Raz is a lizardman. Looks like they’re sparring.

If you know the ref pic I used then you know. If you know you know. :)

Wizard: School of the Duelist

EQ Homebrew presents a subclass for the Wizard of Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition

The study of the flow of the Weave can be treacherous. Over time, Wizards hoard secrets in their towers, taking on few apprentices and guarding themselves from rivals. As tensions grow, many wizards abandon the pursuit of arcane knowledge and cloistered study, and focus wholly on training themselves to face other spellcasters on the field of battle. The constant pursuit of perfected spellcastiung leads to a constant reduction of wasted energy. Duelist could typically forgo flashy lights and bursts of sound, forcing every bit of energy into the spell. Sometimes, these warring periods end in compromise and new alliances, other times in bloody war and carnage. Either way, when then conflicts end, the need for the Duelist school of Wizardry dies out, and isn’t seen again until the next growing magical conflict. Sometimes, however, an old spell book or scroll is found, and a new Duelist begins their training. Some wizards are fearful of a new Duelist, a sign of the conflict to come, while others may covet their powers, in preparation for the same.

Wizard Duel

2nd-level School of the Duelist feature

You are always prepared for a fight. Even when deep in study, you keep a single offensive and defensive spell prepared, just in case.

You add the Magic Missile and Shield spells to your spell book. If you already have one or both of these spells in your spell book, you may add another 1st level wizard spell to your spell book instead. You always have Magic Missile and Shield prepared, and they don’t count against your number of spells prepared. If you spellbook is lost or destroyed, it takes no time and costs no money to add Magic Missile and Shield back to the book.

Magical Missiles

2nd-level School of the Duelist feature

To keep opponents off-balance, you must be relentless in your attacks, the technique you have developed involves flinging darts of magical force into your opponent’s faces, recycled from unnecessary energy expenditure, such as heat, light, and sound.

When you cast a spell that targets at least one creature, that or creates an area in which creatures must make a saving throw, you may choose one creature targeted by the spell or within the area of the spell. You send a number of magic missiles toward the target equal to the level of spell slot you expended to cast the spell. These missiles are identical to those created by the magic missile spell, dealing 1d4+1 force damage to the target. These missiles are affected by any effects that target the magic missile spell, such as the shield spell.

Arcane Armor

6th-level School of the Duelist feature

Your experimentation with wasted magical energy continues. You now have a pretty good sense are to your own waste, and can begin seeing it in others as well. To maintain optimal efficiency, you can siphon some of their wasted energy as well.

When a creature you can see casts a spell by expending a spell slot or charge from a magic item, you can use your reaction to siphon some of their magical power and gain temporary hitpoints equal to the level of the slot or number of charges expended, plus your Wizard level. While you have these temporary hitpoints, you are unaffected by the magic missile spell and are resistant to force damage.

If the spell targets you and only you, you don’t need to use your reaction to gain these temporary hitpoints.

Magical Charges

10th-level School of Duelist feature

Your ability to cycle wasted power grows. In addition to your previous experimentation, you have discovered a way to recycle enough power to create enough energy for additional spells, if only weakened ones.

When you invoke higher level casting, using a spell slot of a higher level then a spell to cast that spell, you regain one expended spell slot. The expended spell slot must be of the first or second level, and must be a lower level then the spell slot you used to cast the triggering spell.

For instance, if you cast Magic Missile at the 2nd level, you could regain an expended 1st level spell slot.

At the 17th level you may also regain a third level spell slot.

Inner Power

14th-level School of the Duelist feature

The ultimate secret of conserving magical power is not to pull power from your spells, but from yourself. When you absolutely need a spell, when magic is the only thing that can save you, bodily processes become unnecessary. Why should you waste calories shivering and sweating if you are moments from death? Your internal healing and digestion can be slowed, your metabolism paused. All of it just to give you that extra edge. The extra mote of power needed to finish the fight.

When you successfully cast a spell, but an effect would suppress it such as the spells Antimagic Field or Counterspell, or the Antimagic Cone ability of a Beholder, you can bypass this effect.

This feature can also be used to cast a spell without expending a spell slot, up to the fifth level.

When you use this ability, you take force damage totaling number of d6’s equal to the spell’s level you are casting. Your hit point maximum is also reduced by an amount equal to the damage taken. You regain your regular hitpoint maximum when you complete a long rest.

DM tips under the cut!

If you allow one of your players to use the School of the Duelist, consider some of the following tips:

The subclass focuses on transmuting waste energy into more magic. This is commonly heat, light, and sound, so consider how these things transform into the player’s subclass features. Conversely, think of how intense a spell must be with near-perfect energy efficiency, how bright Daylight could be, or how cold Ice Storm could get

Spell’s listed effects all still occur. Even if the flavor text here says that spells produce less sound, something like Thunderwave is still audible up to 300 feet away. It may be good to make sure your player understands this before taking this subclass.

You may want to give your player free use of the Shield or Magic Missile spell when they gain the Spell Mastery or Signature Spells features, in addition to the other spells they choose for that feature.

This subclass can be powerful when combined with certain Sorcerer or Warlock features you may want to set some limitations on features to maintain balance.

Alright, go-go gadget Circle of Progress!

Sort of a companion piece of the Technology Cleric, the Progress Druid is a little bit inspired by solar punk themes, along with Horizon Zero Dawn and other post-apocalypse sci-fi stuff. I thought it would be fun to have a druid who's whole thing was basically just weaponised recycling.

Also another pet subclass! I know! But I really like pet subclasses is the thing, and nobody can stop me from making them. I am running a game in my own setting with a hobgoblin druid played by my current DM so we're going to rebalance this one on the fly, where necessary.

Not much more to say about this one. I hope you like the themes and powers, I hope you find it interesting. I had a lot of fun working on it.

I put the homebrewery link at the top but here it is again, for those that like seeing it down here, and here is a link back to my pinned for my other subclasses and lineages. ALT text is applied, I hope that it's useful for those that need it.

Stay fresh, cheesebags!

How to Play as Bugs Bunny in DnD 5e

That’s right, today we’re building the epic icon of Bugs Bunny. As the star of Looney Tunes, I could think of nobody better to start with than Bugs Bunny. Now, Bugs has a lot of tricks up his sleeve. He’s a master of disguise, misdirection, manipulation, he can pull items out of the hammerspace behind his back, and defy the laws of physics. So, clearly Bugs is some kind of all-powerful trickster. But how do we build him?

For his race, Bugs is a Harengon, a type of rabbitfolk from the feywild. We’ll give him +2 CHA, +1 DEX. As a Harengon, Bugs is a Fey type creature immune to the effects of spells like Charm Person and Hold Person that specify a humanoid target. He also gains proficiency with Perception, adds his proficiency bonus to his initiative rolls, add a d4 to a failed DEX saving throw, and jump five feet times his proficiency bonus.

For his background, Bugs is most famous for his ability to pull things over on unsuspecting maroons. We’ll label him as a Charlatan. Now, why is he not a Performer? Because Charlatans get automatic proficiency with the Disguise Kit. If there’s anything he’s known for, it’s his disguises.

In terms of Alignment, Bugs tap dances on the border between Chaotic Good and Chaotic Neutral.

BARD COLLEGE OF CREATION

Bugs is undeniably a Bard. He has a long history as a Vaudeville type performer, even canonically being a famous performer in numerous cartoons. In one, his gags with Elmer Fudd even began as a comedy routine they performed on stage, and later evolved to make them a famous comedy duo. In others, he’s a famous celebrity famed for his career in show business. So, he’s definitely a Bard. But, what College? Well, that would be the college of creation. They can create musical notes that attack people, they can pull items out of nowhere, which by 14th level can be Huge items, they can animate objects around them like some old black-and-white cartoon from the 20s or 30s, and by late game, he can make multiple items at once. As a Bard, we get any three skills, and we’ll take Performance, Persuasion, and Stealth.

Name: Bugs Bunny Race: Harengon Background: Charlatan Alignment: Chaotic Neutral

STATS STR 8 DEX 20 CON 12 INT 12 WIS 14 CHA 20

SAVING THROWS STR -1 DEX +11 CON +1 INT +1 WIS +2 CHA +11

HP: 123 AC: 15 PB: +6 SDC: 19 SAB: +11 PP: 24 Initiative: +11 Bardic Inspiration: (5) 1d12

SKILLS Deception (+17) Perception (+14) Performance (+11) Persuasion (+17) Sleight of Hand (+17) Stealth (+11)

SPELLS

C Friends, Mage Hand, Minor Illusion, Prestidigitation, Vicious Mockery 1 Charm Person, Command, Disguise Self, Silvery Barbs, Tasha’s Hideous Laughter 2 Mirror Image, Enthrall, Gift of Gab, Suggestion 3 Antagonize (UA), Dispel Magic 4 Charm Monster, Confusion, Polymorph 5 Dream, Geas, Mislead 6 Mass Suggestion, Otto’s Irresistible Dance 7 Teleport (how he often ends up in the wrong place) 8 Glibness 9 True Polymorph

BARDIC MAGICAL SECRETS 10th Counterspell, Fly 14th Fabricate, Creation 18th Contingency, Reverse Gravity

WHY NOT ROGUE?

Some may wonder why I didn’t even consider the Rogue for Bugs Bunny. After all, Rogue does have some useful features. Uncanny Dodge and Evasion go a long way to make Bugs as slippery as he is, and that’s a good point. They also get another skill, giving him the chance to pick up Insight proficiency. Sneak Attack bonus also lets Bugs capitalize on his sneaky underhanded tactics. But, there’s a good reason why I chose Bard. Firstly, Arcane Trickster Rogues work off Intelligence, and Bugs is not book smart. He’s a wise guy and a charmer, but one of his common running gags is mispronouncing common sayings, like saying maroon instead of moron. Arcane Tricksters are also cut off at the 4th level, cutting Bugs off from great spells like Creation and Mislead, which go so well with his tactics. Any other type of rogue doesn’t get any spells, which deviates from where Bugs Bunny shines as a DnD Character.

Bugs is a character I’ve wanted to build for a while. I was going to do him when the Harengon came out, and then I just kind of forgot and left him sitting on a backburner. But he can do everything I would hope for. He’s clever, charming, and most importantly of all, great at manipulating people without outright brainwashing them. Just exploiting their stupidity. And since the Bard of Creation can create just about anything out of thin air, it really lets the player let their imagination run wild. Let’s see how intimidating Strahd is after he’s had an anvil dropped on his head.
