Hmmm. WGUP. I think "Wig Up" might join my lexicon of phrases such as "lock and load", and of course, the original - "Watson, the game's afoot!" as euphemisms for "Chat-time's over, it's time to play."

First, a Word to the Wise: Never call a Yuan-ti useless. They spit poison, you know. I'm probably preaching to the choir with the ideas below, because you've already been thinking about this longer than I have. Looking at snakes as a general category, you've got your biters and your...

You can start the party at that bar/pub/tavern (?) ... at the End of World, then finish it at that Restaurant at the End of the Universe.

I can't remember a thread where I wanted to click "Laugh with this post" for such a high proportion of the comments. But, also, a pet peeve. Unless you're deliberately misspelling the word rogue as "rouge" (an all-too-common practice in our imaginative community), which my warped sense of...

Yes to this. Limiting the Warden to just the two forms, one generic and one specialized as you've delineated here, works well and gives us a solid structure to build on. Agreed. Let's strike the idea of being able to combine the features of two different forms at the same time. Having the...

Excellent though fodder for campaign development.

For me, Wormy wins out over Snarfquest for first and second places, although it's close. I loved the artwork, the storytelling, and the character development in both of those.

Simplest fix: this is the translation into English. It's perfectly metered in Common.

The variant warden type associations, for example, Wild = fey/forests, sound good. Going with two primal forms at 2nd level, what if "X" was a generic primal form common to all the warden sub-types, while the other one was specific to the theme? Perhaps that common primal form could include...

Good point. Although 4e had a feat option for genasi to manifest more than one elemental form at a time, which inspired my consideration of the druid warden being able to assume two primal forms at the same time, it's over-powered/unbalanced for any class. Let's strike that idea.

Dread Master, I bow before you. This is wonderful. So, in the manner of overly-ambitious apprentices throughout history (well, at least since that Disney film), I'm stealing it for my campaign's Icarus Files.

There's a lot of latitude in 5e for DMs to use their own sense and imagination. You're "sensing" that creating a high-level spell seems too easy. One thing to build into it might be to add in the costs of the material components that were tried and found ineffective in making the wanted spell...

I like your revision regarding the maelstrom feature. What you say about keeping the spells below 6th level makes sense; 1st - 5th level spells are the standard limitation. [I have a crush on those investiture spells and keep trying to sneak them in where they don't belong, so I need to be...

Although I've been concentrating on getting Primal Forms into a reasonable draft form, the ideas from @rgoodbb and @cbwjm quoted above have been moving around in the background of my mind. I do think that cbwjm's original ideas for the 6th, 10th, and 14th level features are good as they are, but...

This use of the Healer feat brings the mending cantrip to mind. In some groups it can be used to help a living construct to recover hit points. Perhaps it can also be utilized to repair damage to undead servants.

Still working on the primal form feature, I've eliminated the Max. CR and Example columns from the Primal Forms table, keeping the Limitations, and added your idea for the Ocean's Rage and Storm Raven primal forms at levels 4 and 8 (respectively). Per your concern about the extra attack action...

Taking a look at possession as described for the ghost (MM147), the ghost does not gain its target's knowledge, class features, or proficiencies. That confirms your idea that it would need to be much more powerful, and a deity fits that requirement. So, what if the paladin became a pawn between...

I was 29 (and D&D was 10) when I first sat down to play the game. Mind you, I kicked myself then for having not started playing it when it was new. I didn't pace myself well as a DM over the next 4 years (trying to create too much game world information) and burned out. Couldn't keep my mind...

That's Mumblety-Pegs. Great suggestion!

I'm working on getting this Circle feature more in line with the descriptions in Wild Shape, and find myself in need of other some feedback on what I'm working up. Primal Form At 2nd level you do not gain wild shape. In place of wild shape, you gain the ability to use your bonus action to...
