"Roll for Initiative"

Want to spice the game up? Why not try alarming your players for no real reason? Make sure to make a show out of counting the dice before you roll.

I’d originally typed this out a while ago, but figured I’d clean it up a bit and repost.

Hey fellow DM’s,

 Do you need custom d% tables for your game? Would you like know an easy way to make them? I’ve got you. I’m using excel here, but you can use a piece of paper and a calculator, this is really easy, I promise.

 Let’s say you have 8 options for whatever roll it is… Colored rocks, for example. Ok, so divide 100 by 8 and you have a 12.5% chance of any of those options happening.

What’s that? You don’t want every option to have an equal chance of happening? Well, that’s easy too. Take your list of all 8 things and put a 12 next to each of them. Note this will leave a remainder of 4 (note the total above is 96), but we’ll come back to that.

 Now… which of those 8 things are the most common and which are rarer. Add or Subtract 2 or 3 from each respectively. (And be sure to track the “remainders” as you increase and decrease it) … when you’re happy with the spread, make sure those numbers add up to 100. (In excel you can use the =SUM function).

Things to consider for the frequency of the “things” on your list:

 - Proximity should increase frequency. If thing #1 is very far away and thing #2 is very close, you should take the 2 or 3 points away from thing #1 and add them to thing #2 - because the closer thing should be more frequent.

 - Resources, Motivation, hell - even chance could play a part in the frequency of your thing, but you’ll have to decide what else plays into it based on your own needs per chart.

Now, once the points are set and the numbers total 100, you’re ready to start laying in the ranges for the rolls using those numbers. (* Special note - if you’re using excel you’ll want to format those cells for text - otherwise it’ll stubbornly reformat it to a date every damn time.)

Your first option will be 1- whatever range you had (18 in this example). So you have Red rocks with a range as 1-18. Then you take the second options range (in this case 9) and add it to the previous total  (18+9=27) So Orange rocks have a range of 19-27. Keep following that until you’ve got all your ranges down and boom… your table is done.

More or less things? Still no problem. Divide 100 by X, and follow the same steps. Easy. You’ve got this!

Dungeons & Dragons: Saturday Morning Adventures #3 (IDW Comics)

This warlock patron is called a Trickster. A Trickster is a powerful otherwordly entity: resourceful, cunning, prone to mischief, manipulative, and deceitful. A Trickster upsets rules and conventions, delighting in pushing boundaries to further their goals.

Tricksters occupy a wonderful and delightful place in mythologies and folklore across all of human cultures, and I think that because often they are powerful with magic abilities, but often not gods, they make perfect Warlock patrons.

Version 0.1 🩸

The Blood Mage uses their own life force to cast more spells than they should normally be able to. Relying upon their own health and constitution, they manipulate their blood to increase their power.

This is a (very) rough outline for the basic homebrew class I've been working on. Nothing here is guaranteed to be the same as in the final version and is subject to change. Not all the features and abilities are included either.

✨New item!✨ Squall Caller Weapon (battleaxe), uncommon (requires attunement)

This battleaxe has the thrown property with a normal range of 20 feet and a long range of 60 feet. It has 3 charges. While holding the battleaxe, you can use an action and expend 1 charge to cast gust of wind (save DC 13) from it. The Squall Caller regains all expended charges daily at dawn.

Amplified. If the Squall Collar is within 60 feet of this battleaxe, it gains the following properties:

You gain a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls made with this magic weapon.

Immediately after being thrown, the battleaxe flies back to your hand.

The saving throw DC for spells cast from the battleaxe increases to 15.

When you cast gust of wind from the battleaxe, the distance pushed increases by 5 feet and you can choose any number of creatures within the area of effect to automatically succeed on their saving throw. Additionally, you can choose to cast gust of wind without requiring concentration, but the spell ends at the start of your next turn.

Forged by Stormlord Zeyas for his daughter Tyrren to wield against his foes and keep the peace with her twin sister Fyrren. As long as they fought together, they would be empowered by each other’s presence. - 🖌🎨 Like our work?
