DDM Wacky Ideas Thread

How about a dwarf wizard/sorceror? :-D One of my players was a dwarf wizard, and it was tough finding something remotely close.

The only folks that have successfully pulled that off would be Reaper.

A "Bucket o' Corpses" would never lose its utility.

Wizards has produced both a dwarf wizard and dwarf warrior with Urgrosh, but they were both fairly early in the product line.

Here's some pics.

Thanks Kelvor. Saved me the time. Bother are uncommons too, not even rares.

However, we're still Genasi- and Deva-impaired.

 

[Kelvor Ravenstar]

I agree, very Deva and Genasi deprived so far.
Only one Genasi I can recall, the Air Genasi Swashbuckler from Blood War. Unfortunately its a rare, though I suppose you could use it as a watersoul Genasi too.


Edit: I knew there were two, there's another from Divine Heroes 3.

A set of dungeon dressing. Columns, altars, coffins, traps, tables and chairs. Really.

You could call the set "Miscellaneous Mimics".

This also justifies printing stat cards for each one of them.

I don't by DDM stuff for a single reason: the unknown. I don't want a random selection of minis designed for a miniature combat game. I don't care if the minotaur is rare and the owlbear is uncommon. I want minis to run in my DnD game.

I need the following sets

• Heroic Figures (you know for the heroes)
• Gobliods
• Magical Creatures
• Mundane Creatures
• Undead
• Underdark Foes
• Devils and Demons
• Dragons and Dragon-like things
• etc...

Until the minis are 100% non-random and organized into appropriate sets for purchase, DDM and I will not cross paths.

Here's another possibility. Take the popular "themed sets" idea and combine it with the visible minis system, but in reverse. So you'd have something like this:

Orc Horde Pack
4 Orc Grunts
2 Orc Warriors
2 Orc Skirmishers
1 SECRET BONUS MINI!

(Where the SECRET BONUS MINI is a randomized, high-quality, orc-themed mini. An Orc Warchief, an Eye of Gruumsh, a Captive Wyvern, an Ogre Shock Trooper, et cetera.)

This combines the predictable value of the themed set with the "chase rare" effect.

That fits with an idea I had for ambushing my group with mimics disquised as furniture during a negotiation.

Yet apparently even when they offered you this you still didn't purchase them.
