#dnd ideas

A Cleric who can break the fourth wall and worships the Dungeon Master.

Everyone else in their party thinks they are crazy, but can’t deny the fact that the universe seems to want them to succeed.

This is due to the DM being highly susceptible to flattery and keeps minimizing the Clerics bad outcomes (like missing their target but hitting another’s opponent) and maximizing their good outcomes (getting five star equipment out of a two star loot).

The Cleric has high insight and persuasion.

Clear D20 with Tiny Rocky inside, that looks like his xenonite ball

Introducing - Fabulous Fuablo's Fantastical Pets

A travelling pet store that appears right when it needs to, full of tiny adorable animals that will tempt your players and force them to come together to count gold for how much that fuckin bespectacled baby bat is.

The premise is the the players all are performers in a rather large and well known carnival but have woken up with no memories of the past few days and are in the carnival that is at first, seemingly deserted, but as they explore, they find the the other employees and guests, all warped into horrific dark-soul level monstrosities.

The players must find clues to piece together their memories, to figure out what has happened to the carnival and find a way to save as many as possible from the forces that have overrun it. Can the players save the others? What role did they play in this tragedy?

What horrors will they have to face as they enter... the Carnival of Carnage.

Like not even necessarily Hallownest or Pharloom. Just the world building established between the two games. Higher Beings, lifeblood, the basic principles of light/soul/void/dreams?

Clerics/Paladins get their power from Higher Beings in the way that spells/silk skills, Warlocks more of a Traitor Lord or Unraveled fashion. We already fight like half a dozen Bards in the series, non-caster classes are well established (fighter, rogue, ranger, etc)

The only real work that would have to be done would be stats for various bug species and even that could be worked out with a little bit of work.

yknow how trees are kinda just lines that split over and over? like one big line from the ground, split into branches, split into sticks, split into twigs, and even leaves are twigs split into stems that split into veins. well reverse that for some freaky alien forests, where the ground is littered with millions of vine-y plants that join together, forming trunks that go up and merge with each other and merge with each other the higher they go. could basically be a bunch of organisms sharing resources/'body', or for extra freaky points, theyre no longer separate orgamisms and instead become a hive mind or something

nocturnal flowers that attract nocturnal moths/bugs pollinators by glowing. theres no way imthe first to think of this but i really like it so its here

the above idea but mushrooms that glow underneath the caps, again so their spores get out and shit

tiny trees that are just as hard and woody, but theyre tiny. maybe theyre hella wide, or maybe they're to scale

more plants that inexplicably grow sideways

shelf fungi that swirl around a tree like vines, not just popping up but a continuous fungi slowly creeping around this dead vertical tree

flowers, but instead of soft petals they're wood. maybe bc theyre year round or serve a different purpose, but they're sturdy like trunks and grow bigger out of thicker branches instead of being where leaves grow

trees or plants with reflective bark/leaves/parts that directs sunlight to leaves/photosynthesis zone

predatory fungi for extra scary points. fungi that will circle a tree near the base and slowly try to choke it/cut it down. its slow so its not everwhere, but you can see it occasionally and its just like. freaky. magic users or alchemists or doctors or chemists or villains could probably invent something gnarly with them

land barnacles that snare tiny bugs with little harpoons. if they're literally just like barnacles evolved for land they can probably store a lot of water inside like a coconut (see hank greens "everything is fish"/" fish dont exist" video). again, big if you wanna be freaky.

in general turning sea-unique creatures into land or air creatues. a floating tree octopus would be wild and awesome. you could say their balloon lookin noggins are full of a gas they produce as waste thats lighter that whatever airs in your atmosphere, not making them go up infinitely per se, but making them able to float down gently like an old balloon

woody/tree plants that grow sets of special holes that are basically lil fuckin animal calls on them, trying to draw in pollinators or other symbiotic relationship creatures. similarly, squiggly trees where every now and then a branch just goes round and round and round, making a convenient nest base.

MORE! CARNIVOROUS! PLANTS!!! venus fly traps are cool, as is pitcher plant, but what would a carnivorous woody/tree plant look like? venus fly trap esque leaves? a hollow top of the trunk like a pitcher plant? flowers that close? or maybe it grows onto something else and eats it. maybe roots try to get things and just hold it there or pull it into the ground to richen the soil with nutrients. maybe theres ferns that suck blood like leeches, maybe sharp undergrowth scrapes little bits of skin cells as things brush agsinst it or get scratched.

moss but its like velcro with them tiny hooks. or maybe its a fungi and it eats dead stuff caught in it

sky waterfalls where the source is just clouds. like instead of raining, clouds and watervapor join together into bigger abd bigger droos in the sky, but in the specific atmosphere they're notheavy enough to fall individually and float, combining and combining until big waterfall-ish splashes come down
