At 6th level you have a permanent hunters mark when wildshaped?

May 31, 2024 1:27 am

I belive that's "Hunter's Strike" not "Hunter's Mark".

Hunter's Strike: Your next attack this turn deals an extra 1d6 damage of a type appropriate to your Wild Shape form (piercing for a beast with claws or teeth, slashing for a beast with claws or beak, bludgeoning for a beast with a thick hide).

May 31, 2024 2:00 pm

Which is basically a Hunters Mark/favoredFoe increase on your attacks.

You have to use a bonus action to do it, so if you had a concentration spell up like flaming sphere you wouldn't be able to use it that turn. If we felt it wad op we could give it a # of uses (maybe wis mod) per long rest?

My bad, I was thinking more about the advantage on Perception and survival checks against the mark...I'd forgotten about the additional damage.

I have a character in another game who is a Ranger Primal Guardian that gets +1d6 damage on first attack every turn by way of the Piercing Thorns ability from that subclass.

Quote:

At 3rd level, your command of primal magic allows you to enhance your attacks with thorns. Once during each of your turns, you can deal an additional 1d6 piercing damage to one creature you hit with a weapon attack.

Granted, it is from Unearthed Arcana, but there may be other subclasses with something similar?

May 31, 2024 5:31 pm

I think the adding 1dx to an attack each turn is a pretty basic Ranger ability sometimes with additional affects and what not.

and honestly I don't think we should care too much about "OP"ness if AI seems to spit it out,

Will AI be used to generate NPCs and thier stats? Or will you match up existing characters and creatures?

May 31, 2024 6:19 pm

I think using the AI to generate NPC's would make sense. Creatures, might be a blend based on what the encounter/campaign prompt comes out as.

May 31, 2024 6:22 pm

And are we doing 2 PCs each or just one? In the game description page it says 2 so i just wanted to check.

May 31, 2024 6:31 pm

I put it where you can enter 2 PC's I figure if you select a "main" and a backup in case death/dismemberment/it seemed whacky enough but turned out to be too whacky.

This way if a change is needed it wouldn't be too hard to just go "imma go with my backup" we have a lot of chaos potentially so less chaos on something like that makes sense to me

May 31, 2024 6:33 pm

Sounds good

May 31, 2024 7:18 pm

First prompt, class based on dragon age Morrigan..., features above lvl 10 first try only went to lvl 10..., sub class Keeper of the Gloom..., race Wildborn..., traits and background together....

So you don’t always have to go through the links everything is in this note.

Note

The Wild Weaver (Custom Class)

The Wild Weaver draws power from the natural world and ancient pacts, blending elements of a druid, warlock, and shapeshifter. They possess a keen understanding of the wilderness, command potent elemental magic, and can transform into ferocious beasts.

Hit Dice: d8
Armor: Light armor
Weapons: Simple weapons, daggers, clubs, staves
Tools: Herbalism kit, thieves' tools (one chosen)
Saving Throws: Intelligence, Wisdom
Skills: Choose four from Acrobatics, Arcana, Deception, History, Insight, Intimidation, Investigation, Nature, Perception, Religion, Stealth

Wild Weaver Features

Primal Connection (Level 1): You gain proficiency in the Nature and Arcana skills. You can also speak Sylvan, the language of plants and many fey creatures.

Form of the Wild (Level 1): You have learned to tap into the primal essence of beasts. As an action, you can transform into a beast that has a challenge rating of no higher than 1/4, while you remain in that form. Your statistics in beast form are the same as the beast's, except you retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You retain your alignment and personality. You can stay in beast form for 1 hour (as a bonus action you can revert earlier). You can use this feature twice per long rest. When you reach 3rd level, the challenge rating of beasts you can transform into increases to 1/2. At 5th level, it becomes 1, and at 7th level, it becomes 2.

Warden's Intuition (Level 2): You can cast the Speak with Animals spell once with this feature, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Additionally, when you track a creature that has left tracks within the past 24 hours, you can roll a Wisdom (Survival) check with advantage.

Elemental Fury (Level 3): You learn the Druidcraft cantrip. You can also cast the Burning Hands spell once with this feature, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. As you gain levels in this class, you can cast Burning Hands using higher spell slots. (Spell slot level = character level / 3, rounded down.)

Pact Boon (Level 3): You choose one of the following boons granted by your connection to nature:

Whispers of the Wild: As an action, you can expend a spell slot to gain advantage on a Wisdom (Perception) check that relies on sight or hearing. For the duration of this benefit (lasting 1 minute per spell slot level expended), you can also speak and understand the languages of beasts that are within 30 feet of you.
Shapechanger's Agility: While you are in a beast form gained with Form of the Wild, you can use your Dexterity modifier instead of your Strength modifier for your attack rolls and for Strength (Athletics) or Strength (Acrobatics) checks.
Ritual Mastery: You gain the ability to cast certain spells as rituals. Choose two 1st-level spells that appear on the druid spell list. You can cast those spells as rituals if their casting time is 1 minute or longer. You ritualistically cast a spell by following its normal casting time, but there are no somatic or verbal components and the spell doesn't require material components (unless the cost is a single spell component that you have in hand). You gain access to two additional spells of your choice to cast as rituals at level 9 (2nd level spells) and 17th level (3rd level spells).
Elemental Focus (Level 6): You can choose to deal an extra 1d6 fire damage with a spell that deals fire damage, or an extra 1d6 cold damage with a spell that deals cold damage. You can use this feature once per turn.

Wild Shape Adaptation (Level 7): While in a beast form gained with Form of the Wild, you can use a bonus action to sprout claws or fangs if the beast you're transformed into doesn't already have them. These natural weapons have a +X to hit and deal 1d4 + X slashing or piercing damage (your choice), where X is your Wisdom modifier. This bonus action can only be used once per turn while in wild shape.

Feral Might (Level 10): When you hit a creature with a weapon attack in your normal form (not wild shape), you can expend a spell slot to deal extra necrotic damage to the target equal to 2d6 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 1d6 for each spell level higher than 1st.

LVLs 10-20

Wild Weaver Features (Continued)

Primeval Transformation (Level 18): Your mastery over shapeshifting has reached a new peak. When you use your Form of the Wild feature, you can now choose to transform into a beast that has a challenge rating of no higher than your proficiency bonus. Additionally, while in a beast form gained with Form of the Wild, you can maintain the form indefinitely until you dismiss it as a bonus action. You regain all expended uses of Form of the Wild when you finish a long rest.

Archdruid's Wrath (Level 20): As a bonus action, you can unleash the primal rage within you. For 1 minute, you gain the following benefits:

You gain resistance to all non-magical damage.
When a creature within 10 feet of you hits you with an attack roll, you can use your reaction to force the creature to make a Strength saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. On a failed save, the creature takes force damage equal to half your Wild Shape damage die (rounded down), and it is pushed 10 feet away from you.
Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can choose to expend a spell slot to deal extra force damage to the target equal to 5d8 for a 1st-level spell slot, plus 2d8 for each spell level higher than 1st.
This feature ends early if you are incapacitated or if your concentration is broken (as if concentrating on a spell). Once you use this feature, you can't use it again until you finish a long rest.

Subclass

Wild Weaver Subclass: Keeper of the Gloom (Level 3)

The Keeper of the Gloom delves deeper into the primal shadows, harnessing the power of darkness and transformation to become a master of stealth and manipulation.

Shadow Weaver (Level 3):

You gain proficiency in the Deception skill if you are not already proficient.
You can cast the Darkness spell once with this feature, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. As you gain levels in this class, you can cast Darkness using higher spell slots. (Spell slot level = character level / 3, rounded down.)
Shadow Form (Level 3):

As a bonus action, you can shroud yourself in shadowy energy, becoming invisible for up to 1 minute. During this time, you have darkvision out to 60 feet, and your walking speed is increased by 10 feet. When you attack or cast a spell, or when the duration ends, the invisibility ends. You can use this feature twice per long rest. At 11th level, the duration increases to 10 minutes, and you can use this feature three times per long rest.

Master of Deception (Level 6):

You can cast the Pass without Trace spell once with this feature, and you regain the ability to do so when you finish a long rest. Additionally, whenever you hit a creature with an attack roll while invisible, you can use your reaction to force the creature to make a Wisdom saving throw against a DC equal to 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Wisdom modifier. On a failed save, the creature is frightened of you until the end of your next turn.

Gloom Infusion (Level 10):

Once per turn, when you hit a creature with a weapon attack, you can choose to inflict an additional 1d6 necrotic damage. Additionally, whenever a creature within 10 feet of you fails a saving throw against a spell you cast, you regain a spell slot of 2nd level or lower (no higher than the spell used to trigger this effect).

Shape of Dread (Level 14):

While in a beast form gained with Form of the Wild, you can choose to transform into a monstrous shadow beast with a challenge rating of no higher than your proficiency bonus - 2. This shadow beast has darkvision 120 feet, resistance to non-magical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing damage, and the ability to cast the Darkness spell at will. You can use this feature once per long rest.

Race

Wildborn: Children of the Weave

The Wildborn are a race of humanoids inextricably linked to the primal forces of nature. They possess an innate understanding of the wild magic that flows through the world, making them natural fits for the Wild Weaver class.

Ability Score Increase: Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1.

Age: Wildborn mature at roughly the same rate as humans, reaching adulthood around 20 and living up to 100 years.

Size: Wildborn are about the same size and build as humans. Your size is Medium.

Speed: Your base walking speed is 35 feet.

Natural Weaver: You have proficiency in the Nature skill. You can cast the Druidcraft cantrip without needing any material components. You can cast this cantrip as a bonus action.

Wild Sense: Beginning at 3rd level, you have advantage on Wisdom (Perception) checks that rely on sight, smell, or hearing while you are in your natural surroundings.

Resilience of the Wild: Starting at 5th level, you have resistance to damage from nonmagical bludgeoning, piercing, and slashing weapons.

Wild Shape: Starting at 7th level, you can use an action to transform into a beast that has a challenge rating of no higher than 1/2. You remain in beast form for 1 hour, until you drop to 0 hit points, or until you use an action to revert to your normal form. When you revert to your normal form, you can't assume a wild shape again for 1 hour. You can use this feature twice per long rest. You can choose any beast form that you have seen or heard of before (no summoning required). While you are transformed, your gaming statistics are replaced by the beast's statistics, but you retain your Intelligence, Wisdom, and Charisma scores. You also retain your alignment and personality.

Languages: You can speak, read, and write Common and Sylvan. Sylvan is the language of the fey, a secret tongue that allows you to communicate with many kinds of woodland creatures

Traits and Background

Keeper of the Gloom Traits

Shadow Affinity: You have a natural connection to the shadowy aspects of the Weave. You gain the following benefits:

Dim Light Vision: You can see in dim light conditions as if they were bright light, and in darkness as if it were dim light. You can't discern color in darkness, only shades of gray.
Shadow Resistance: You have resistance to necrotic damage.
Gloom Consumption: As a bonus action, you can reach out with your shadow and absorb a dim light source within 10 feet of you, extinguishing it and granting yourself a temporary boost. Choose one of the following effects, which lasts until the end of your next turn:

Shadow Strike: Your next weapon attack this turn has advantage and deals an extra 1d6 necrotic damage on a hit.
Shrouded Form: You gain a +2 bonus to your AC until the end of your next turn.
Weaving Darkness: Starting at 11th level, you can expend a spell slot as a bonus action to create a 10-foot-radius sphere of magical darkness centered on a point you choose within 60 feet of you. This darkness lasts for 1 minute or until you dismiss it as a bonus action. The darkness spreads around corners and blinds any creature that enters it or starts its turn there. A creature with darkvision can see through the darkness normally within the sphere.

Keeper of the Gloom Background

Harbinger of Gloom:

Your connection to the Weave manifests in a unique way – an affinity for shadows and the secrets they hold. Perhaps you were born during a rare eclipse, raised in a shadowed forest, or touched by some unknown entity of the gloom. This has led you down a path of studying the hidden aspects of magic, particularly those associated with darkness and transformation.

Personality Traits:

You have a quiet and introspective nature, preferring solitude to large gatherings.
You are fascinated by the mysteries of the night and the secrets hidden in darkness.
You have a strong sense of justice, but your methods can be unconventional and shrouded in shadow.

Ideals:

Balance: The light and dark are two sides of the same coin, and maintaining balance is crucial. (Neutral)
Hidden Knowledge: The secrets of the shadows hold power, but they must be used responsibly. (Neutral)
Redemption: Even the darkest heart can find redemption, but the path may be shrouded in darkness. (Good)
Bonds:

You are bound to protect a village or loved one from a hidden threat lurking in the shadows.
You seek to uncover a lost artifact or forgotten knowledge related to the shadowy aspects of the Weave.
You are haunted by a past mistake committed in the pursuit of power or knowledge.

Flaws:

You are distrustful of others, believing they do not understand the true power of darkness.
You are tempted to use your shadow magic for personal gain, even if the consequences are dire.
You have a morbid fascination with death and the secrets it holds.
This background provides a starting point for your Keeper of the Gloom Wild Weaver. Feel free to customize it further to fit your character's unique story and motivations.

Jun 1, 2024 1:16 am

Okay, my 1st attempt at refinement. (I may stick with this portal master idea, unless I watch another TV show that inspires me to create something else, lol. But I seem to be gravitating towards charaters that prioritize one gimmick.) I already like this one better, except for the Battle Master abilities

Prompt II

Using D&D 5e rules, create a new subclass for the fighter class that uses portals to attack enemies and escape from threats. Create class abilities at level 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10 that use the power of small portals. Character should not be a caster nor use magic or spell slots. At higher levels, the characters powers should increase from portals to be able to teleport.

[ +- ] subclass

Fighter: Way of the Portal Warrior

This subclass focuses on manipulating the fabric of reality with small portals, creating tactical advantages and surprising escapes. They are not spellcasters, but warriors who have harnessed a unique connection to the planes.

Level 3: Pocket Passages

You learn to create small, one-way portals as a bonus action. These portals last for 1 minute and can be no larger than 3 feet in diameter. You can choose one of the following effects when creating a portal:

Passage: Creatures smaller than Large can pass through the portal to a point you can see within 10 feet on the other side.
Strike: You make a weapon attack through the portal. If the attack hits, the target is surprised.

Level 2: Portal Sense

You gain a sense of the planes beyond. As an action, you can touch a non-magical object and determine if it leads to another plane of existence (successful Intelligence (Investigation) check DC 8 + your proficiency bonus).

Level 3: Fighting Retreat

When a creature hits you with a melee attack, you can use your reaction to create a Passage portal behind yourself as part of the same reaction.

Level 4: Advanced Maneuvers

You gain two maneuvers from the Battle Master archetype (choose from Attack Maneuvers, Parry Maneuvers, or Riposte Maneuvers) and 4 superiority dice. You can use these dice to fuel your maneuvers. You regain all expended superiority dice during a long rest.

Level 5: Dimensional Slash

As an action, you can make two melee attacks. If both attacks hit the same creature, you can choose to banish it to the Astral Plane for 1 round. At the end of the round, the creature reappears in the unoccupied space closest to where it was banished.

Level 6: Extra Attack (2nd)

You gain the ability to Attack twice when you take the Attack action.

Level 7: Planar Swap

As a reaction when a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with a melee attack, you can teleport yourself and an unwilling creature of your size to an unoccupied space within 10 feet of you on the other side of a Passage portal you created within the last minute.

Level 8: Ability Score Improvement

Increase one ability score of your choice by 2, or two scores by 1.

Level 9: Dimensional Dodge

When you are targeted by a spell that requires a Dexterity saving throw, you can use your reaction to create a Passage portal adjacent to you. If the saving throw fails, you are instantly transported through the portal to an unoccupied space within 10 feet on the other side. The portal then disappears.

Level 10: Gatebreaker

As an action, you can expend 2 superiority dice to create a two-way portal that lasts for 1 minute. The portal can be no larger than 5 feet in diameter. Creatures can willingly pass through the portal in either direction. The portal disappears when you use this feature again or when it expires.

Jun 1, 2024 1:24 am

The huge thing that seems to be missing, unless I'm missing something, is wording that states where the other end of the portal leads to??

You step through to where?

Jun 1, 2024 1:34 am

which part are you referring to? I guess when I read the '10 feet' near the beggining, I just locked that in my brain for all the rest of the portal abilities.
I guess I can add a range limit to the prompt next time I try it.

Jun 1, 2024 1:37 am

So the portal simply let's you move 10'?

I'm thinking portal opens next to you the other end opens some distance away from you. When you look in one end you can see out the other, then pick a spot 10' or less from the mouth of the portal on the other end.

But the subclass doesn't determine the distance between where the portal starts and where it finishes.

60', 300', 10 miles?, another plane of existence?

One thing to consider on classes and subclasses is levels where things happen.

Making a class? Add to the pronpt ASIs happen at lvl 4, 8 etc

But mostly everything I think would work

Jun 1, 2024 1:54 am

I'll try it again later, adding some details. gonna eat and watch cartoons

Jun 1, 2024 11:28 pm

Well, I was watching My Adventures with Superman, and the Parasite inspired me to try this:

https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fi.ytimg.com%2Fvi%2FKme6oP0tX_s%2Fmqdefault.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=e748805bd4f8c269efd6c32a0a058eacb8676c70c42047ca68c47d4cad014744&ipo=images

Using the rules for D&D 5e, create a new subclass for the warlock whose abilities are based on temporarily stealing other characters spells, powers, feats, and abilities. Create class abilities at level 2, 4, 6, 8, and 10. Also provide some unique spells centered around using the stats and talents of other characters

[ +- ] TEXT

The Pilferer Warlock

This warlock patron grants power through borrowed might, allowing them to steal the abilities of others for a short time.

Expanded Spell List: At 1st level, you learn the spell Detect Thoughts. It is always considered prepared for you and does not count against the number of spells you can know at this level.

Siphon Savvy (Level 2): You gain a deeper understanding of how to exploit the magical energies of others. As a bonus action, you can touch a creature within 5ft of you that has cast a spell within the last minute. You make an ability check (Arcana for spells, Deception for invocations, Athletics for feats/racial abilities) contested by their Wisdom (DC 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). On a success, you can replicate the effect they just used, treating it as if it were cast by you (using your spellcasting modifier). You can use this stolen ability once per short rest.

Empowered Borrowed Magic (Level 4): When you use Siphon Savvy and successfully steal a spell, you can expend a warlock spell slot to enhance it. For each spell level you expend that's higher than the stolen spell's level, you gain one of the following benefits of your choice:

The spell affects one additional creature.
The spell's duration is doubled.
The spell deals an extra 1d6 damage per spell level expended.

Mimicry Mastery (Level 6): You can now attempt to steal the benefits of feats and racial abilities. When you use Siphon Savvy on a creature that has used a feat or racial ability within the last minute, your ability check is instead contested by their Constitution (DC still 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Charisma modifier). On a success, you gain the benefits of that feat or ability for 1 minute. You can only use this feature a number of times equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of once) and regain all expended uses on a long rest.

Malleable Magic (Level 8): When you use Siphon Savvy and successfully steal a spell, you can choose to alter it slightly. You can swap one damage type of the spell for another, or change a single beneficial effect of the spell to a different but thematically similar benefit (e.g., turning Cure Wounds into Inflict Wounds).

Grand Larceny (Level 10): Once per long rest, you can attempt to steal a spell of a higher level than you can normally cast. When using Siphon Savvy, if the target creature cast a spell 2 or more levels higher than any spell slot you possess, you can attempt to steal it. The ability check is made at disadvantage, but on a success, you can cast the stolen spell once, treating it as if it were cast from a spell slot two levels lower than the original (minimum 1st level).

Unique Pilferer Spells:

Essence Leech (2nd Level): You reach out and attempt to steal a creature's magical essence. Make a ranged spell attack. On a hit, the target creature takes 1d8 force damage, and you regain a number of warlock spell slots totaling up to the target creature's spellcasting level (minimum of 1).
Power Mimicry (4th Level): You tap into the stolen potential of another creature. Choose a creature you've successfully used Siphon Savvy on within the last hour. You gain a bonus to one ability score of your choice equal to the target creature's proficiency bonus for 1 hour.
Arcane Appropriation (6th Level): You weave stolen magic into a potent attack. Make a melee spell attack. On a hit, the target creature takes force damage equal to 1d8 + your Charisma modifier, and you can choose one of the following effects based on the last spell you successfully stole with Siphon Savvy:
Fire damage: If the stolen spell dealt fire damage, the target creature is also pushed 10 feet away from you.
Lightning damage: If the stolen spell dealt lightning damage, the target creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be knocked prone.
Cold damage: If the stolen spell dealt cold damage, the target creature's movement speed is reduced by 10 feet until the end of your next turn.

This subclass allows for a unique playstyle that focuses on adaptability and tactical thinking. By strategically using Siphon Savvy, the Pilferer Warlock can become a versatile spellcaster, borrowing the power they need to overcome any challenge.

Not sure if warlock is the best class for this. But enough goofing off, back to the portal master...

Jun 1, 2024 11:50 pm

Using D&D 5e rules, create a new subclass for the fighter class that uses portals to attack enemies and escape from threats. Create class abilities at level 3, 7, and 10 that use the power of small portals. Character should not be a caster nor use magic or spell slots. At higher levels, the characters powers should increase from creating portals to being able to teleport. How far the portals can reach, and how far the character can teleport should always be clearly defined. Ability score increases should be at levels, 4, 6 , 8, 12, 14, 16 and 19. The character should gain extra attack at levels 5 and 11

[ +- ] getting better?

Wayfarer of the Weave (Fighter Subclass)

This subclass focuses on utilizing the power of planar rifts, wielding them as both offensive and defensive tools. They are not spellcasters, but rather warriors who have honed their martial prowess alongside a deep understanding of planar travel.

Ability Score Increases: You gain a +1 bonus to two different abilities of your choice at 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 19th level.

Extra Attacks: You gain the Extra Attack feature at 5th level and 11th level, allowing you to attack twice, and three times, respectively, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn.
Portal Warrior (3rd Level)

Dimensional Strike: As an action, you can expend a use of your Second Wind feature to open a small portal adjacent to a creature you can see within 10 feet. Until the end of your next turn, your melee weapon attacks can originate from this portal, striking the creature from an unexpected angle. This attack ignores half cover provided by the creature.
Evasive Maneuver: When a creature you can see within 5 feet of you hits you with an attack, you can use your reaction to expend a use of your Second Wind feature to open a small portal adjacent to yourself. You are instantly transported to the unoccupied space on the other side.

Warp Weaver (7th Level)

Rippling Strike: As an action, you can expend a superiority die to open a small portal adjacent to a creature you can see within 15 feet. You make a melee weapon attack against the creature. If the attack hits, you can choose to teleport the creature through the portal to an unoccupied space within 10 feet on the other side.
Dimensional Passage: As an action, you can expend a use of Action Surge to open a small portal within 10 feet of yourself and another willing creature you can touch. Both of you can teleport through the portal, emerging in an unoccupied space within 10 feet on the other side.

Master of the Weave (10th Level)

Planar Leap: As an action, you can expend two superiority dice to open a larger, stable portal within 30 feet of yourself. You and up to two willing creatures you can touch can teleport through the portal, emerging in an unoccupied space within 30 feet on the other side. This portal remains open until the end of your next turn.

Notes:

Second Wind can be used normally, even if expended for Portal Warrior abilities.
The portals created by this subclass are small, only large enough for a single creature to pass through at a time.
These portals cannot be used to travel between planes of existence.

This subclass offers a unique blend of offensive and defensive capabilities. Dimensional Strike allows for surprise attacks, while Evasive Maneuver provides a powerful escape option. Warp Weaver abilities like Rippling Strike can reposition enemies, and Dimensional Passage creates a quick escape for the fighter and an ally. Finally, Master of the Weave grants powerful teleportation for the fighter and their companions.

Jun 5, 2024 3:57 am

so, can we keep tweaking 'til we get the subclass the way we want it? Do we need GM approval? Do we get a limited number of attempts?

Jun 5, 2024 5:39 pm

I would say, in the spirit of it. limit to maybe 3 tweaks in a prompt? but overall if you want to do this all day, do it all day.

Once I run the campaign prompt and it is chosen I will probably set a "have the character done by Monday" type of deadline

Jun 6, 2024 2:00 am

Ok, lemme try one more time. I love the randomness, but it's gotta be somewhat playable, so I'm gonna try and go with the idea of using dice to power the powers.

input: Using D&D 5e rules, create a new subclass for the fighter class that uses portals to attack enemies and escape from threats.

The subclass should gain superiority die similar to the Battle Master, but instead of the superiority die being used for Maneuvers, they should be used for this new subclasses portal abilities.

Create class abilities at level 3, 7, 10, 15 and 18 that use the power of small portals. Character should not be a caster nor use magic or spell slots. The characters powers should increase from creating portals to attack through, to being able to teleport themselves and allies, to being able to teleport enemies. How far the portals can reach, and how far the character can teleport should always be clearly defined, and the distance should increase as the characters level increases.

Ability score increases should be at levels, 4, 6 , 8, 12, 14, 16 and 19. The character should gain extra attack at levels 5, 11 and 20

The character should gain the standard fighter features at the same level as other fighter subclasses.

[ +- ] output

Wayfarer of the Weave (Fighter Subclass)

This fighter subclass taps into the planar weave,

manipulating small portals to enhance their combat prowess and maneuverability. They are not spellcasters, but rather warriors who have honed their martial skills alongside a unique understanding of the fabric of reality.

Portal Dice: At 3rd level, you gain a pool of Portal Dice equal to your proficiency bonus. These dice are d8s, and they replenish on a long rest. You expend Portal Dice to fuel your portal abilities.

Bonus Proficiencies: When you choose this archetype at 3rd level, you gain proficiency in the Arcana skill and one of the following weapons of your choice: scimitar, dagger, or quarterstaff.

Warping Strike (3rd Level): You can expend 1 Portal Die as a bonus action to create a fleeting portal adjacent to an enemy you can see within 10 feet. Until the end of your current turn, make a melee weapon attack through the portal. If the attack hits, it deals an extra 1d6 force damage.

Dimensional Dodge (7th Level): As a reaction when a creature within 5 feet of you hits you with an attack, you can expend 1 Portal Die to teleport 5 feet to an unoccupied space you can see within 5 feet of your original position.

Planar Assault (10th Level): You can expend 2 Portal Dice as an action to create a portal adjacent to an enemy you can see within 30 feet. Until the end of your current turn, you can make a single melee weapon attack through the portal. On a successful hit, you can choose to pull the target creature 5 feet closer to the portal (not through it).

Dimensional Shift (15th Level): As an action, you can expend 3 Portal Dice to teleport yourself and up to one willing creature you touch to a location within 60 feet of you that you can see.

Banishment Strike (18th Level): As an action, you can expend 4 Portal Dice to create a one-way portal adjacent to an enemy you can see within 60 feet. The target creature must succeed on a Strength saving throw or be banished to a random demiplane for 1 minute. At the end of that time, or if the creature succeeds on a Charisma saving throw before then, the creature reappears in the unoccupied space nearest to where it was banished. A banished creature can’t take actions or reactions.

Ability Score Increases: You gain a +1 bonus to one ability score of your choice at 4th, 6th, 8th, 12th, 14th, 16th, and 19th level.

Extra Attacks: You gain one additional attack at levels 5, 11, and 20, as per the fighter class feature.

Standard Fighter Features: You gain the remaining fighter features at the same level as other fighter subclasses.

Hmm, won't be using the powers that much with only a couple 'portal dice' but I'll go with it. I'm assuming 'Dimensional Dodge' avoids the attack? halves the damage? gonna be the GM's call on some of these.

edit: oh geez, I just saw there was more than one draft

Giving it some tries.

https://chatgpt.com/share/20c2f944-6008-4d05-96d7-cc5d6209707a

Input:
Create me a D&D 5E Subclass. The main class is Rogue The subclass should feel like it is heavily inspired on warlock, combining dextrous melee with eldritch powers. Provide some lore on where these powers come from. Grant features on the same levels as on other Rogue subclasses which can include warlock cantrips and invocations.

Output:
Rogue Subclass: The Eldritch Blade

Lore:
In the world of mysticism and shadows, there exists a clandestine pact between the Rogues and eldritch beings from beyond the mortal realm. These entities, known as the Whispering Shadows, grant their chosen rogues access to otherworldly powers in exchange for their service and secrecy. The rogues who accept this pact become Eldritch Blades, masters of combining their agility and combat prowess with the arcane might of the Whispering Shadows.

The Eldritch Blades are rare and elusive, often operating in the shadows and using their abilities to carry out missions that ordinary rogues would find impossible. Their powers manifest in a blend of swift melee strikes and arcane abilities, making them formidable opponents.

Subclass Features:

Level 3: Pact of the Blade
Upon choosing this archetype at 3rd level, you forge a pact with the Whispering Shadows. This pact grants you the ability to use warlock cantrips and invocations to enhance your combat abilities.

Eldritch Cantrips: You learn two cantrips of your choice from the warlock spell list. They count as rogue cantrips for you, and Charisma is your spellcasting ability for them.

Invocations: You gain one Eldritch Invocation of your choice from the warlock class. You gain an additional invocation at 9th, 13th, and 17th levels. These invocations must be chosen from those available to warlocks and must be invocations that do not have a prerequisite level higher than your rogue level.

Level 9: Shadow Step
At 9th level, you gain the ability to step through the veil between worlds. As a bonus action, you can teleport up to 30 feet to an unoccupied space you can see. If you use this ability to appear in dim light or darkness, you become invisible until the start of your next turn or until you make an attack or cast a spell.

Level 13: Eldritch Strikes
At 13th level, your melee attacks are infused with eldritch energy. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can choose to deal additional psychic damage equal to your Charisma modifier (minimum of 1). You can use this feature a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Level 17: Whispering Shadows
At 17th level, the Whispering Shadows grant you the ability to blur the line between the material and ethereal planes. As an action, you can become ethereal, as if you had cast the etherealness spell, without expending a spell slot. While in this form, you can use your Shadow Step feature without limitation, and your Eldritch Strikes deal an additional 1d8 psychic damage. This ethereal form lasts for 1 minute or until you end it as a bonus action. Once you use this feature, you can’t use it again until you finish a long rest.

Invocations Suggestions:

Armor of Shadows: You can cast mage armor on yourself at will, without expending a spell slot or material components.
Devil’s Sight: You can see normally in darkness, both magical and nonmagical, to a distance of 120 feet.
Beguiling Influence: You gain proficiency in the Deception and Persuasion skills.
Mask of Many Faces: You can cast disguise self at will, without expending a spell slot.
Thirsting Blade: You can attack with your pact weapon twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn (requires Pact of the Blade).

This subclass combines the rogue's dexterous combat style with warlock-like eldritch powers, offering a unique playstyle that balances melee combat with magical abilities.

Jun 28, 2024 4:13 am

That sounds cool. Honestly seems fairly on par with Arcane Trickster to some extent.

The Cantrips are pretty cool options for a primarily melee rogue and the invocation could be game changing. Heck you could potentially take even more with Feats.

Jun 28, 2024 6:00 am

I have give it some thoughts. It seems quite flexible and by using CHA, it is MAD and prevents eldritch blast with sneak attack. So balance wise it seems not too OP. Invocations are fun for variety in characters.

The Whispering Shadows are a bit vague still.
Level 9 seems very powerful, as there is no limit on uses (then again, what is level 17? While in this form, you can use your Shadow Step feature without limitation) range?

I shall put up a follow up prompt tonight, but I think I like this subclass.

Jun 28, 2024 2:50 pm

oh man I thought Shadow Step had some kind of use to it...I mean. It is pretty much a "Cunning Action - Misty Step" which is crazy. As for 17, maybe the limitation could be said that you just get Invisibility regardless of dim light/darkness?

Jun 28, 2024 4:13 pm

Seems like I did something wrong. Can't find the AI chat anymore... :(

Shadow Step is OP yeah. I think 1x / LR or SR sounds fair.

Jun 28, 2024 4:28 pm

I mean...we have actively said "don't worry about OP-ness" so if you want the restriction by all means...but you don't have to

[ +- ] Prompt

[ +- ] Lore

Nature and Appearance:
The Whispering Shadows are enigmatic entities that dwell in the liminal spaces between the material plane and the shadowy realms beyond. They are not fully corporeal beings; instead, they exist as shifting, ephemeral presences that can be perceived in different ways depending on the observer's state of mind and environment.

Visual Perception: In moments of twilight or within dimly lit areas, the Whispering Shadows appear as undulating forms, similar to wisps of smoke or shadows that twist and coil in intricate patterns. Their forms lack solid substance and instead seem to merge seamlessly with the darkness, creating a sense of perpetual motion.
Auditory Perception: To those attuned to their presence, the Whispering Shadows manifest as disembodied voices that echo faintly at the edge of hearing. These whispers can range from barely audible murmurs to clear, insistent messages. The voices often speak in cryptic riddles or provide fragmented glimpses of forgotten knowledge.
Dream Visions: For many, the Whispering Shadows make their presence known through dreams. In these visions, they appear as indistinct figures cloaked in shadow, their faces obscured and their intentions veiled. These dreams often leave the dreamer with a lingering sense of unease and curiosity.

Purpose and Recruitment:
The Whispering Shadows have their own inscrutable motives for recruiting rogues into their service. Unlike otherworldly patrons who seek to dominate or corrupt, the Whispering Shadows are more interested in subtle influence and the manipulation of fate.

Why Rogues?
Agility and Stealth: Rogues possess the skills necessary to move unseen and unheard, qualities that the Whispering Shadows value highly. These abilities align with the Shadows' preference for subtlety and indirect action.
Resourcefulness: Rogues are known for their quick thinking and adaptability. The Whispering Shadows seek individuals who can navigate complex situations and turn the tide in their favor with minimal intervention.
Secrecy and Silence: The nature of a rogue's work often involves secrecy and a deep understanding of shadows, making them ideal candidates to serve entities that dwell within the dark and hidden corners of reality.

What Do They Want?
Information Gathering: The Whispering Shadows use rogues to gather information that would otherwise be inaccessible. This can range from secrets whispered in royal courts to the hidden knowledge locked away in ancient ruins.
Influence and Manipulation: By placing their agents in key positions, the Whispering Shadows can subtly influence events in the material world. They might guide a rogue to ensure a particular outcome in a political intrigue or to thwart a potential threat to their interests.
Guardianship of Mystical Sites: The Whispering Shadows have a vested interest in certain mystical locations, such as the Crystal Caverns. Rogues in their service might be tasked with protecting these sites from those who would misuse their power or defiling influences.

Relationship with Rogues:
The relationship between a rogue and the Whispering Shadows is symbiotic yet fraught with mystery. While the Shadows grant their agents considerable power, they do so with the expectation of unwavering loyalty and discretion. The true nature and ultimate goals of the Whispering Shadows remain obscured, leaving their agents to navigate a path filled with both peril and promise.

In conclusion, the Whispering Shadows are ethereal entities that recruit rogues for their unique skills in stealth and subterfuge. They manifest as elusive forms in dim light, haunting whispers, and dream visions, seeking to subtly influence the material world through their chosen agents.

Character Backstory: Reya Starshard
Early Life

Reya Starshard was born in the secluded community of Luminara, a hidden enclave nestled near the mystical Crystal Caverns. The Crystalborne Humans of Luminara lived harmoniously with the radiant energies of the crystals, and from an early age, Reya showed a unique connection to their luminescent power. Her skin glimmered faintly, and her eyes sparkled with the hues of the crystals that surrounded her home.
Discovery of Her Potential

Reya grew up under the guidance of the community elders, who taught her the ways of the crystals and the importance of self-discovery. Her introspective nature and calm demeanor made her a favored pupil, and she quickly learned to harness the inner light that the crystals bestowed upon her. However, Reya felt a restless energy within her, a shadow she could not fully comprehend.
The Whispering Shadows

One night, Reya had a vivid dream of the Crystal Caverns. She stood before a vast expanse of shimmering crystals, and a voice echoed through the cavern. It spoke of shadows and light, of potential and power. The voice identified itself as a Whispering Shadow, an ancient entity dwelling in the spaces between light and dark. Intrigued and a bit frightened, Reya sought to understand this enigmatic presence.

In subsequent dreams and meditations, the Whispering Shadows revealed themselves more clearly. They were not fully corporeal beings but entities of pure thought and influence, seeking those who could navigate both the light and the shadows. They saw in Reya a potential that transcended the teachings of her community, a potential that required a balance of agility, cunning, and arcane power.
Becoming an Eldritch Blade

Driven by a desire to fully embrace her true potential, Reya made a pact with the Whispering Shadows. In exchange for her service and secrecy, they granted her the ability to blend her natural rogue skills with eldritch powers. She learned to step through shadows, infuse her strikes with psychic energy, and even become ethereal. Her abilities as a rogue were now enhanced by the arcane might of her patron, making her a formidable Eldritch Blade.
Personality and Traits

Reya embodies the balance of light and shadow. She is calm and serene, even in the face of danger, reflecting the inner light of the crystals. However, she is also deeply introspective, always seeking to understand the deeper truths about herself and others. This sometimes leads to overthinking and hesitation, but it also makes her a wise and perceptive individual.

[ +- ] Chaos Halfling Subrace

### The Origin of the Chaos Halflings

The Chaos Halflings, often referred to as Wildlings, trace their origins back to an ancient and tumultuous event involving the Elemental Chaos. This plane, a maelstrom of elemental energy and pure, unbridled entropy, is a place where the laws of reality bend and twist in unpredictable ways. It is said that the very fabric of existence shifts continuously in the Elemental Chaos, creating a realm of infinite possibilities and ceaseless change.

#### The Cataclysm of Entropy
Long ago, a powerful artifact known as the Shard of Pandemonium was discovered by an ambitious Halfling explorer named Bramble Quickfoot. The Shard was a fragment of pure chaotic energy, imbued with the raw essence of the Elemental Chaos. Bramble, curious and undeterred by warnings, brought the artifact back to his village. Unbeknownst to him, the Shard's chaotic energy began to seep into the surroundings, subtly altering the very nature of the Halflings who lived nearby.
Over time, the village was transformed. The Halflings began to exhibit strange and unpredictable abilities, their very beings becoming attuned to the chaos. Some could change their appearance at will, others could harness elemental forces, and many found themselves thinking and acting in ways that defied conventional logic. These Halflings, now infused with the essence of chaos, became known as Wildlings.

#### The Blessing and Curse of Chaos
The transformation of the Halflings was not solely a curse; it also brought incredible benefits. Wildlings found themselves more adaptable and resilient, able to thrive in environments that would challenge even the hardiest of their kin. Their unpredictable nature made them formidable in combat, as foes found it difficult to anticipate their next move.
However, the influence of the Elemental Chaos also came with its own set of challenges. Wildlings often struggled with stability and consistency in their lives. Their communities became places of constant change, where nothing remained the same for long. Structures, social norms, and even relationships were in a state of perpetual flux.

#### The Wildling Wanderers
Embracing their new chaotic nature, many Wildlings chose a life of wandering. These nomadic Halflings traveled far and wide, exploring the world and seeking out new experiences. Their connection to the Elemental Chaos granted them a unique perspective on life, one that valued freedom, individuality, and the beauty of unpredictability.
Wildlings became known for their eclectic skills and talents, often serving as adventurers, entertainers, and mercenaries. Their ability to adapt to any situation made them valuable allies, and their unpredictable nature often led to surprising and fortuitous outcomes.

#### The Legacy of Bramble Quickfoot
Bramble Quickfoot, the Halfling who inadvertently caused the transformation, is remembered as both a hero and a cautionary tale. His curiosity and bravery brought about a new era for his people, but it also served as a reminder of the unpredictable and often dangerous nature of chaos. The Shard of Pandemonium remains hidden, its location known only to a select few, lest its power be unleashed once more.
Today, the Chaos Halflings, or Wildlings, continue to thrive in their own unique way. Their presence in the world is a testament to the ever-changing and unpredictable nature of the universe, a reminder that even in chaos, there is a certain kind of harmony.

[ +- ] Background Story of Quirk

Early Life in the Village of Bramblewood
Quirk was born in the small, secluded village of Bramblewood, nestled at the edge of the Whispering Woods. The village was renowned for its peaceful and quaint lifestyle, where generations of Halflings had lived without much change or excitement. However, Quirk's family was different. They were descendants of the original Wildlings, Halflings forever changed by the Shard of Pandemonium. From a young age, Quirk exhibited traits that set him apart from his peers.

The Unpredictable Child
Even as a child, Quirk was a bundle of energy and unpredictability. His appearance would often change subtly from day to day; his hair might shift colors, his eyes might glow with an otherworldly light, or his skin would shimmer as if covered in a thin layer of frost. These changes were the result of his innate connection to the Elemental Chaos. While the other children played simple games, Quirk would create illusions, conjure small flames, or make plants grow and wither with a mere thought.

Quirk's parents, both proud Wildlings, encouraged his curiosity and taught him the value of embracing his chaotic nature. They told him stories of their ancestor, Bramble Quickfoot, and the transformative power of the Shard of Pandemonium. They instilled in him a sense of adventure and the importance of following his own path, no matter how unpredictable it might be.

The Wanderlust Awakens
As Quirk grew older, his restlessness became more pronounced. The serene life of Bramblewood could not contain his boundless energy and curiosity. At the age of sixteen, Quirk decided to leave his village and explore the world beyond the Whispering Woods. With a pack full of supplies and a heart full of excitement, he set off on his journey.

During his travels, Quirk encountered various cultures and people, each experience adding to his understanding of the world. His chaotic nature often led to unexpected adventures and encounters. He once saved a village from a marauding band of goblins by using his unpredictable magic to confuse and scatter the attackers. In another instance, he befriended a group of traveling performers, learning their tricks and adding his own flair to their shows.

The Path of the Monk
Quirk's journey eventually led him to the Monastery of the Shifting Winds, a place known for training monks who harnessed the power of chaos and entropy. Intrigued by their philosophy and abilities, Quirk decided to join them. Under the guidance of Master Zafir, a seasoned Way of the Chaos monk, Quirk honed his skills and learned to channel his chaotic energy with precision and control.

Master Zafir recognized Quirk's potential and pushed him to embrace the full extent of his powers. Through rigorous training, meditation, and a deep understanding of the Elemental Chaos, Quirk developed unique abilities that set him apart from other monks. He learned to strike with chaotic energy, teleport unpredictably, and unleash powerful, random effects in battle.

The Chaotic Wanderer
Now a fully trained monk, Quirk continues his journey as a wandering adventurer. His travels are marked by a trail of unpredictable events and encounters. He uses his abilities to help those in need, often in ways that are unconventional and surprising. Quirk's reputation as a chaotic but well-meaning Halfling spreads wherever he goes.

Despite the unpredictable nature of his powers, Quirk remains grounded by the teachings of Master Zafir and the legacy of his ancestors. He seeks to bring balance to the chaos within him, using it as a force for good. Whether facing dangerous foes, solving mysteries, or simply bringing a touch of chaos to the mundane, Quirk embraces his destiny as a Chaos Halfling Way of the Chaos Monk.
