At least some of the fey are created by strong emotions (Red Caps come to mind), so in theory the "positive" emotions (or the ones people generally desire to experience) could be one court, and the "negative" ones (or the ones people generally desire not to experience) could be another court...
Maybe it is just me, but it feels like the high-level monsters are losing some of their damage budget to "kill 100 commoner" effects (the Tarrasque and Elemental Cataclysm come to mind) that don't do enough to PC's. Don't get me wrong, I love those abilities (I have given high-level celestials...
Potentially, but I figure something like this would work best with more customization than I think you could fit in a subclass (or at least more than any subclasses so far)
I would like some kind of martial "monster is your ancestor" class. Kind of a strength monk, but with an extra dose of "sometimes you just need to go wild and pull your enemy apart limb from limb." Lots of nonhumanoid types to be subclasses.
The horror of the undead is that something like you becoming "other." Do you think a dirt farmer is more terrified of an ogre zombie than a living ogre? Ogres, on the other hand, are probably as freaked out by ogre zombies as dirt farmers are by "used to be humanoid" zombies.
Unless the...
Charisma is sometimes described as "force of personality", so Investigation (Charisma) is just the PC being obsessed enough to pound on everything in the room until you find the door "he/she knows is there." I would say it takes an hour and is too noisy for the rest of the party to get a short...
One DnD 2025.24 on the front page has the classes from the updated Unearthed Arcana about Arcane subclasses. I finally finished Vecna Eve of Ruin, and both One DnD 2025.24 and the Archive have everything from that book. I think that is it for the pre-2024 PHB.
The primary reason is that you can give the good critters abilities that certain (sub)classes of PC's can aspire to. Admittedly, there is a lot of "chicken and egg" stuff going on, especially in early editions (there were a lot of paladins with wings), but we have had a lot of editions and a...
I think you could make just about any archdevil work, but I recall there was a slight socialist vibe with Radiant Citadel, which makes it fodder for Mammon, possibly with him trying to push RC into backing violent methods of social reform (in my setting, he focuses on anything that makes it...
One DnD 2025.23 on the front page has the subclasses from the Apocalyptic UA (2025). Both One DnD 2025.23 and the archive have another magic item and a monster from the body of Vecna Eve of Ruin.
John Gwynne's Bloodsworn Saga which has dragon-blooded people, reinspired dragonborn for me. Dragonborn are like those Yuan-ti that look like people (or whatever the primary humanoid population is) except with a few reptilian features and a breath weapon that can be used rarely. However as...
I finally got around to reading the body of Vecna Eve of Ruin, and I see there are two artifacts right at the beginning. I added them to One DnD 2025.22 and the archive on the front page.
This is more demons than devils, but I have always thought the purpose of demon lords is to help mortals make parts of the Material Plane to be sufficiently like the Abyss to be easily absorbed into the Abyss, and it seems like if you fairly close to absorption, demons could just hop over.
In...
Stuff might be easier to move across planes than creatures, so if fiendish essences are being infused into some items, they might get shipped over and some cultists could perform a ritual, and viola, your fiend is loose in the world. If you use a teleporting spell that lets you take one willing...
