New post from my TTRPG page

Hi there~! Didn't expect me to be making content so soon huh?

Well, I am here simply because I've put together a quick errata for the warlock reborn, because upon a second read-through I realize there were a ton of things I overlooked. I'll go over the changes made in this post here

-Added a spellcasting focus section for the pact magic feature. I have no idea how I forgot to add that until later but here I am, the only difference between it and the OG warlock is now you can use occult items, such as a skull or tarrot cards as a focus.

-Eldritch Invocation rebalance, a lot of the 5th-level such as eldritch smite and arcane barrage were pushed back to 6th-level because 5th-level is loaded as is, since you not only obtain 3rd-level spells, but your pact also improve at that level, so I felt somewhat justified in pushing those invocations back a level.

-Updated the dragon and evergrown patrons, upon further examination I found myself not entirely satisfied with how those two subclasses came out, so some updates were made. Which I will go over.

The Dragon:

Draconic burst was overhauled, it's damage got reduced from 2d6 down to 2d4, however, you can now use the feature without a resource cost, meaning you can blast away to your hearts content! I also added a paragraph explaining how it interacts with the eldritch blast invocations, mighty breath was reworked into the might of the wyrm feature, with comes with an increase to your draconic bursts damage, allowing it to deal 4d4 damage on top of the additional effects it gives. The last paragraph of Primordial tyrant was also updated to make it clearer.

The Evergrown

The natures child feature allows you to double your PB in the nature skill if you already have the proficiency, I'm honestly surprised I forgot that, but rushing to meet a deadline will do that to you. The might of the wilds part of your 6th-level feature was updated to instead reduced a creatures movement speed by half, wild sanctuary was updated to allow you to ignore difficult terrain created by your spells (Such as spiked growth or plant growth) and apex of gaia now buffs your curse of the wilds, allowing you to deal additional damage to surrounding creatures when a target afflicted by your curse of the wilds dies.

The general layout was also updated to make it a bit better on the eyes, otherwise that's about all of the changes made to the warlock reborn, hope you have fun with it and remember. Go out and make something awesome.

Hey you! I made this on my TTRPG account, go check it out!

Hi there~! It's been a long time coming, but here it is, my attempt at reworking the 5e warlock, due to my dissatisfaction with the version presented in One DND (5.5??) feature a whole host of reworked and altered options so you may be the best devil worshiper you can be, the rest of this post shall go over some of the changes made along with my intention behind the changes.

The base class.

For starters, eldritch blast is now a class feature. Simply put, every warlock takes eldritch blast, doesn't matter if you're focused on support, damage, or you're a weapon wielding hexblade, eldritch blast is such a good option, so I might as well give it as a base class feature. Similarly the agonizing blasts ability to add your charisma modifier to its damage rolls was added for similar reasons, skipping over the spellcasting, pact boon and invocation changes, the contact patron feature from the One DND UA was added for thematic purposes, and eldritch master was reworked to instead allow your patron to concentrate on a spell, which yes, does allow you to concentrate on two spells at one (At disadvantage)

Spellcasting.

The One DND warlock features the rather unique ability to choose between intelligence, wisdom or charisma as its casting stat, while I enjoyed the concept I decided to take it a step further by tying your spellcasting ability to the otherworldly patrons themselves, essentially using their spellcasting stat in a way.

Additional changes include you getting your 3rd-level slot at 6th-level as opposed to 11th, cause the highest most dnd campaigns reach are around 10-11th level, and it feels bad having to wait all the way until then just to cast three spells a day, some other changes of note include the warlock being able to ritually cast, and the spells gained from their otherworldly patron are now automatically prepared, rather than added to the warlock spell list. Which i'm not sure why they did that? Unless they though the warlock would be too good?

The Pact boons.

Basically every pact boon got upped in power, such as pact of the blade and pact of the chain, alongside them growing in strength when you reach 5th-level, in addition, two new pact boons were added. The first being the Pact of The Gunpowder, based on the Pact of The Trigger by MonkeyDM, its an eldritch blast/cantrip focused pact for those who want to truly commit themselves to the eldritch blast lifestyle, alongside the Pact of The Idol, allowing you to sacrifice your hit dice to perform various features.

Eldritch Invocations.

A selection of (Mostly new) invocations were made for this document, my favorite would have to be the ones given to the pact of the blade. Admittedly in the rush to get this out by the deadline I chose to cut back on the invocations in particular, but who knows, maybe when I get to revising this someday I can add even more invocations to the list.

Subclasses

All of the subclasses were revised in one way or another, but for the sake of time i'll go other three in particular: The Hexblade, The Horror and The Undying. The hexblade is a rather infamous subclass within the DND community in no small part cause of how strong a 1st-level dip is for many characters (Cough, paladin) but the more I looked at it, the more I found myself bored of it. Don't get me wrong the 5e hexblade is rather powerful, but it just doesn't scratch the itch of the cursed item patron, and with hex warriors main drawing being ported over to pact of the blade, reworking was a must. The horror (Originally called the undead) I generally don't have to many issues mechanics wise, in fact it's one of my favorite warlock subclass, my only gripe is cause of how much if steps on the undying toes flavor-wise, speaking of which, the undying is possibly the subclass I had the most fun reworking, transforming it into a tanky summon focused as opposed to....Whatever the original was trying to accomplish.

Along with the revision of old subclasses, three new subclasses are included: The Arcanist, The Dragon and The Evergreen. The arcanist is a pact with a powerful being of magic (Such as an archmage) it allows you to learn wizard spells from your pact magic feature, manipulate your spellcasting and eventually imbue spells into trinkets, the dragon are for those that simply want blast their foes away, you can create bursts of draconic energy, absorb elemental energy and even assume the form of a dragon, lastly the evergreen is for those that couldn't decide if they wanted to be a druid or a warlock, allowing you to create a garden around yourself that damages enemies, alongside implanting magic seeds within your foes and protecting allies within your garden against spells, similar to an ancients paladin.

New spells

Because I like making more work for myself, a handful of new spells are available at the end of the document, so I apologize if they're a bit on the lower end quality wise, but I hope they'll be at least somewhat interesting.

That's about all I wanted to talk about in relation to this rework, keep in mind everything in here is untested, and I encourage anyone reading this to leave any thoughts or constructive criticism they may have. With that in mind, thank you for reading, go out and make something cool.

So cause I don’t have much else to talk about here. How about I talk about some DND  characters i’ve played (And that I have art of)

My first dnd character was a 3rd-level Tiefling/Draconic bloodline sorcerer named Valentine. I don’t remember much about the character, I think his backstory was something about him being a president going out in the world after unlocking magical powers? But the most vivid memory I have of him is that I forgot to take actual leveled spells with them. So for a session or two, I was stuck casting firebolt for the whole session, and somehow I got the kill the kill on the boss fight. Needless to say the next session was way better! The campaign they were apart of didn’t last long but hey, I suppose if it weren't for this pride flag colored Tiefling I might not have gotten into DND.  My 2nd DND character shown here was a 9th-level Human, Way of the Kensai Monk/Ranger named: Master Wu-Tang (Yes, he was named after the Wu-Tang clan) who left his family to join an assassins guild of monks, now retired, he joined a ghost hunting organization called “The Crows” in order to do something with the remainder of his life (For reference he was around 70). He was made because the DM wanted to have the party sort of split between ghost players and crow player characters. Having the ghosts be the spellcasters and the crows be the martial characters (Something like this. Keep in mind this was 2 years ago) I also recall wanting to make a DND version of Master Roshi (Without the perverted “Gags) and with that. Wu-Tang was born. Despite some issues the campaign would end up running into (Such as two sort of problem players that I will not name here) Wu-Tang ended up being my longest lasting character. Lasting countless sessions and going from level 3 to level 9. 

The next character I made was for a Feywild campaign. A 5th level aasimar (Pre Monsters of the multiverse) Undead Warlock/Divine soul Sorccerer multiclass named Falus Lucifier. The basic premise of him was that he was born into a highly religious village that considered him to be a god. He visited a strange figure to try and find a way out, only to be murked by a band of Paladins. Though said strange figure would keep their end of the bargin (Sort of) reviving Falus by possessing his body. I basically ended up kinda playing Gabriel from Mandela catalogue as a DND character. Combat wise Falsus was pretty potent as he would cast bless on the parties martials (And himself) and use his form of dread before blasting away with eldritch blast. I designed him to be a blaster/support hybrid and my god I think it worked out, RP wise I unfortunately dropped the ball due to my less than stellar rping as the character and some odd decisions on my end. Maybe I should revisit the character concept sometime. 

The fourth character here is a character I played for a very short-lived Curse of Strahd campaign, a 3rd level Tortle/Path of the Aberrant (Homebrew subclass) called: Captian Goru Zur Ganqwuc. Who on a sailing trip to barovia would fall into the depths, sinking deeper and deeper before waking up with strange tendrils on his shell and gaining new powers. They were basically a grouchy old guy that had this quirk of calling people peck-neck, just to he could cuss someone out without anyone but him knowing what he meant. (Yes I took the line from a A Hat in Time cause I thought it was funny) he was pretty fun to rp as cause I got to do this gravely irish accent with the character. It’s a damn shame the campaign lasted one and a half sessions before being swapped for a Strixhaven campaign.

As a fun fact about Goru, he is the first character i’ve played that was a homebrew subclass. I’ve had characters made before that were homebrew (Such as Wu-Tangs back up character) but neither of those were actually used. And even if the aberrant barbarian was super janky and unbalanced. It was cool to actually play a subclass that I made. Maybe next time funny turtle man.

The last character here is my third most recent character. The 6th level human Chronurgist Wizard/Artificer named Dimitri Leviticus. They were made for a superhero campaign where, I originally wanted to be a homebrew gravity paladin, but the dm vetoed it cause it was too much. Which you know what, that’s on me, so trying to fill the party roll as both the spellcaster and the ranged blaster. I made Dimitri. Dimitri’s career started within as a toy maker, coming from a toy making family (Who were actually pieces of shit but they didn’t know that) Eventually their shop would’ve been blown up and, while in an apartment, with some guidance from a voice in his head they would make a device that allowed him to warp time. So they joined the new dawn academy in order to become a hero, both to bring smiles to the world in a way their toys can’t, and to possibly find out what happened the night their shop was bombed. Dimitri’s probably some of the most fun i’ve had with a caster (Much less a character) In a while, I reflavoured a bunch of their spells to fit the toy/steampunk theming of the character. Such as the web spell being flavored as a web of monkeys in a barrel, find familiar was flavored as a clockwork animal With a prominent wind-up mechanism in their back, and their version of chromatic orb was them throwing powered dodgeballs. Sure they were also mechanically strong and were kind of overpowered. But they were still super fun to play, if even just cause you get to look at any roll your DM made and say. ‘You know that’s a very nice roll...How about we reroll that”  The campaign was a bit of a mess and i’m 99% sure it’s done for. But hey, at least I came away from it with some good memories. 

That’s all of the DND characters i have drawn up atm. I might talk about some other characters i’ve played in another post. But for now if you’ve read this far, thank you. Go out and play some DND or something.

Again, After Far more time than I feel comfortable listing, Here is my (Mostly) completed Necroficer Class. It’s a crafting Based Necromancer that focuses on creating unique Undead  monsters rather than summoning your basic array of skeletons and zombies. I’m sure in it’s current state it still has some balance issues, but that’s what Playtesting is for.

THE JPGs POSTED HERE ARE OUTDATED/INCOMPLETE. Please PM me for the PDF if you are interested in playtesting!

Just realized, I never posted my newest oc Nostran.

Everyone give a round of applause for this little fucked up man (I adore him)

He's a cyborg, been through a lot clearly, he's a silly little guy, so much detail lol, either way this is my backup character in case something happens to Koza or Koza gets retired

He's a wild card of a character, personality being a mix of Jinx and Bill, just less destructive lol

Fun fact, he also has a motorcycle and can drive (logically lol)
