You should always check with your DM to see how much creative control they are willing to relinquish. I tend to play with guys and girls who take the "It's your patron, design him" type of approach but some DM's want to be involved in the process.

Choose a theme and reskin your spells to make that happen. You want to go the tentacle route? Make Hex cause a tangible, slime thing that sticks into the heart of your target. You want to go mysterious, thunder patron? Have Hunger of Hadar roll in a storm cloud. You want some nerdy, Ogma...

Focus only removes Material components, not somatic right?

How do I: 1. Cast a spell with S,M components and a time of 1 action? 2. Cast a spell as a bonus spell with S,M and then attack? 3. Cast a spell (like Shield) as a reaction?

If you use feats, a 4th level fighter with Healer and Magic Initiate (or whatever it's called), and one of the "thiefy" backgrounds can do an awful lot.

How good are these in game play? I haven't used one in 5E but darn, they look awesome. The Fochlucan Bandore allows the owner to cast eight (8) spells a day! One third level (FLy), two second level (levitate and invisibility), four firsts (entangle, protection from evil, faerie fire and...

I took many of your ideas in making this.... It's a rough draft, I am sure there are some grammar issues but I think it makes sense. Mostly. At least to me..... The Domain of Ftttsz is a small yet infinite sub plane in the Elemental Plane of Fire. It is not known by many scholars, or more...

I normally treat Leomund's Tiny Hut as a "Get Out of Jail Free" card but am thinking about how certain monsters would react to it. 1. Giant Spiders might cover it in webs, if they knew something would come out of it. 2. Ankhegs might burrow around or under it. 3. Sneaky goblin types might...

There are some great ideas in here.....i really like having the players keep track of damage and using the hit point pool method. Good stuff.

Some things I do for dragons: "Snatch Arrow" monk feat all good saves (except for the dumb ones don't get INT) and advantage on 2 or 3 2nd wind as a bonus cast cantrips as a bonus Elemental damage on claw attacks (similar to salamanders and such) Magic Items (and good ones) An escape route...

Llama was my first thought as well......

His humanoid cult is set in stone but I think we need some "monsters". I am designing a lair for a blue dragon and looking for some ideas for "lightning" monsters. I am planning on reskinning, and dropping the power, a remorhaz into a eel. Sorta like an electric eel.... I also am going to...

I don't know if this was serious or not but that's my main motivation for "him". I appreciate the ideas. I particularly like the ones about bumping off some of his rivals followers.

I am working on a powerful, fire elemental type being (tentatively Fszzzt, the seventh hottest fire in the dominion of Ftttsz) NPC who is trying to gain power in his world by creating a connection with my groups Prime Material Plane. I am struggling with what a Fire Elemental would really...

In 4 different games, with roughly 30 characters played, we have made two 1/2 orcs. One is a 1/2 orc barbarian who held his own at 1st level with 3rd and 4th level characters. The other is a 1/2 orc druid with 11 Wis. It was a 13 yearold's 1st character and quite frankly it's pretty...

Oh yeah! Hellish Rebuke would be cool reskinned into "force" damage.

Using only the current rules set, how would you create a character that had "Jedi" like abilities? Just kinda thinking out loud, looking for input or other threads where this has been discussed. Option 1: Fighter with Magic Initiate Feat (3 cantrips and 1 1st level spell) that becomes an...

I don't know, I don't think the standard rules apply in this case. Umber Hulk's are effectively invisible and there is like no way to detect them from 10'-20' under ground. The Umber Hulk +1 stealth roll seems a little lame in this case.

How do Umber Hulk's NOT surprise their victim? Should they party get a WIS (survival) check or something to avoid surprise? Any other ideas?

That makes sense, I knew I was missing something.
