I was surfing through the older posts and found the vessel homebrew. While really cool (I'd like to make a Wyrm Paladin, personally, flavor the magic as soul) it seems somewhat unbalanced. How did you imagine a DM would balance that with the other players? Have everyone be vessels, or a level adjustment perhaps?
That’s up to the DM! I’ll admit I’m not very good at balancing and the vessel sheet was my first homebrew, so I’d expect it to be a bit iffy ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
If you’d like some ideas for how to balance it out (other then your suggestions), here’s a few from me:
Permanent disadvantage on charisma-based rolls, or disadvantage against obeying a direct order (centering on the “no mind to think/no will to break line)
Up the charisma decrease to -2
Remove the subrace ability score increases
Drop 1-2 of the extra subrace abilities (6, 13, or 17)
Again, it’s all up to the DM, and I appreciate the feedback!
