Suggestions & Ideas / Spell Tweaks Vol.1
Last post by mina - Oct 05, 2024, 12:29 AMA set of spell change proposals after a little discussing in the mechanics channel.
Alternatives can include a feature that was added in 5th Edition's version of the spell is that it gains additional damage the longer it takes to explode, but I think that might add more complications from the heartbeat script side (since the game treats it as a persistent AOE until someone steps on it and triggers it). So I think the simple tweak is a little more elegant as a solution.
Here's an alternate version that might be just as fun:
QuoteGreat ThunderclapReasons for the change: Currently, Great Thunderclap has a niche use for hitting spell warded casters prone for a short period of time, but otherwise has very limited utility. The idea is to slightly reduce its crowd control abilities in exchange for doing sonic damage per its descriptor. Since evocation already has a pure damage spell in Delayed Blast Fireball, the idea with Thunderclap would be that its blast can't be evaded, but in exchange it does correspondingly less damage with a maximum damage of 10d8. The stun duration being 1d3 is to make it slightly useful as a crowd control spell, but no so much that it supercedes any of the pure CC spells at that same level like Mass Hold Person or Hiss of Sleep.
Caster Level(s): Wizard / Sorcerer 7
Innate Level: 7
School: Evocation
Descriptor(s): Sonic
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range: Medium
Area of Effect / Target: Gargantuan
Duration: Instant
Save: Fortitude
Spell Resistance: No
You create a loud noise equivalent to a peal of thunder and its accompanying shock wave.The spell has three effects. First, all creatures in the area must make will saves to avoid being stunned for 1 round. Second, the creatures must make fortitude saves or be deafened for 1 minute. Third, they must make reflex saves or fall prone.
The spell deals 1d8 sonic damage for every 2 caster levels (up to a maximum of 10d8) to every creature in the area of effect. Creatures caught in the blast must make a Fortitude save to avoid being stunned for 1d3 rounds.
QuoteDelayed Blast FireballReasons for the changes: Delayed Blast Fireball occupies a slightly odd position in the damage hierarchy of blasty spells - it has less range than fireball and the damage cap actually makes it less effective than an Empowered Firebrand when using a 7th level slot. This makes it a little hard to use in most situations so the proposed tweak is to just give it slightly more damage by boosting it to doing d8 damage dice (comparable to Horrid Wilting at 8th level that caps at 25d8 - a 5 dice gap between the two spells given a 1 spell level difference seems fair) - and increasing the effective range to match Fireball so that it has a bit more flexibility.
Caster Level(s): Wizard / Sorcerer 7
Innate Level: 7
School: Evocation
Descriptor(s): Fire
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range:MediumLong
Area of Effect / Target: Huge
Duration: 15 Rounds
Save: Reflex 1/2
Spell Resistance: Yes
The caster creates a small, magical zone that can detect the passage of enemy creatures. When the field is activated, it explodes, doing1d61d8 points of fire damage per caster level to all within the area of effect, to a maximum of20d620d8.
Alternatives can include a feature that was added in 5th Edition's version of the spell is that it gains additional damage the longer it takes to explode, but I think that might add more complications from the heartbeat script side (since the game treats it as a persistent AOE until someone steps on it and triggers it). So I think the simple tweak is a little more elegant as a solution.
QuotePrismatic SprayReasons for changes: Just a straight up damage boost and an additional element of randomness to the spell overall but also make the effects a little more powerful to justify using it instead of a more reliable spell.
Caster Level(s): Cleric 7; Wizard / Sorcerer 7
Innate Level: 7
School: Evocation
Descriptor(s): Special
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range: Short
Area of Effect / Target: 11 meter cone
Duration: Instant
Save: Special
Spell Resistance: Yes
All creatures within the area of effect randomly experience 1 or 2 of the following effects:2010d8 fire damage (reflex) Caster Takes 1/10th of this damage as feedback damage4015d8 acid damage (reflex) Caster Takes 1/10th of this damage as feedback damage
80 25d8 electrical damage (reflex) Caster Takes 1/10th of this damage as feedback damage
Struck with bebilith venom poison (fortitude)
Petrified (fortitude)
Insanity (permanent confusion) (will vs. mind-affecting)
Struck dead (will vs. death magic)
QuoteMeteor SwarmReasons for change: Meteor Swarm is a great spell in terms of VFX, but it's severely lacking in terms of damage (does the same as the 7th level base DBF or 6th level Chain Lightning), has the weakness of making your character run to the target location, and requires being in the middle of a group of enemies to do damage. The goal here is to drag its damage output to something worthy of dropping a giant meteor on someone's head. The combination of physical and fire damage is meant to reflect the fact that it's an exploding flaming meteor landing around the targets. Since damage reduction usually just soaks most physical damage from spells, the ratio of 4:1 on fire:physical is to make sure it doesn't end up being an inadvertent nerf.
Caster Level(s): Wizard / Sorcerer 9
Innate Level: 9
School: Evocation
Descriptor(s): Fire
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range: Personal
Area of Effect / Target: Colossal
Duration: Instant
Save: Reflex 1/2
Spell Resistance: Yes
The spell causes everything within the area of effect to be pummeled by incoming meteors. All those caught in the destruction take1d61d8 points of fire damage per caster level and 1d6 points of bludgeoning damage per every 4 caster levels. (No cap on the number of damage dice granted)
Here's an alternate version that might be just as fun:
QuoteMeteor SwarmThis is essentially a variant of the Missile Storm or Ball Lightning spells, except instead of force missiles you drop meteors on people's heads. - This version is inspired by how "Meteor" works in Final Fantasy V onward - a set number of meteors that are scattered around the hostile targets you're facing. I do, however, think this would probably be too powerful if you could hit a single target with all 40 meteors so if anyone likes this one - I'd also suggest capping the number of meteors any single target can be hit with at 15 to 20.
Caster Level(s): Wizard / Sorcerer 9
Innate Level: 9
School: Evocation
Descriptor(s): Fire
Component(s): Verbal, Somatic
Range: Personal
Area of Effect / Target: Colossal
Duration: Instant
Save: None.
Spell Resistance: YesThe spell causes everything within the area of effect to be pummeled by incoming meteors. All those caught in the destruction take 1d6 points of fire damage per caster level.
You create a swarm of burning meteors (2 per caster level up to 40) that rains down upon enemies around you. Each meteor randomly targets a hostile creature. If there are more hostile creatures than meteors, the meteors will target the creatures closest to you. If there are more meteors than hostile creatures, random targets will be hit by multiple meteors. Each meteor does 2d6 fire damage and 1d6 bludgeoning damage.

Discord ID: Throg
DM Name: DM Vengence
Timezone: Central US Time
Availability: EST: Evenings & All Day on Weekends. Though I can do weekday afternoons sometime.
Preferred number of Players: Moderate to large. I have run quests for up to 10 people, which is my limit, as it can be easy to miss player interactions with that many. 5-8 is my comfort zone. I can do minor events for less players depending on stakes and such as a case-by-case basis.
Preferred Length of Quest: 3-4 hours per session. I like to run connected plot, so expect several parts unless an ADHOK type event.
Thematic Styles and Specialties: Hunt type events. Evil/Underdark. Vampires. High/Epic-level challenges. Bizarre Events. Prophecies, riddles, mysteries. Personal Quests. Silly/Goofy Events. Classic Fantasy.
Wishes to Avoid:
Nature plots. Political plots. Celestial centered plots. World Altering Plots
Miscellaneous Notes:
I am not a Forgotten Realms lore guy; in fact, I only have a basic knowledge of the lore and often must ask others on that aspect. What I run tends to avoid lore when possible or be very basic and limited with discussing it.
I will answer any questions I can at any time if I can, when on as a DM, in Discord or Player. So, feel free to ask me anytime and if I can help I will or point you in the right direction. I am pretty good at multitasking, but if I am in the middle of combat... I may not respond until after that is done. 😊
Event/Quest Rules:
Touchon. Diceprivate. Quest Chat. Warn me before you roll anything.
Swapping Items for Roll: Amulets, Rings or putting on a Helm/Hood do not need to be approved, you can do it as you wish, just throw a little message that you did. Anything else require approval first. No Random Stripping!!!!
No need to hold at every transition for me, unless there is a "Hold Here" Flag. If you see one, hold there and wait for the description before doing anything.
PnP Spells are fine, just ask me about it first before just saying you use it.
Summons: Please don't summon anything except a Mord Sword in combat. If your character is a summoner, let me know a head of time so we can talk about it and come up with something that will not ruin your build or break the combat that was set up.
Storyline Death: Adhoks no. Events: Yes. Mechanical death will only unless the whole group dies.
Traps and Lock: If I don't tell you that it is mechanical, assume it is not. On the occasion where the trap is deadly and could kill you if you get hit by it and you have an immunity, I don't know about that would protect you. Let me know and I will adjust as needed. Like if it is a fire trap and you are immune to fire, you'll be fine. I am very forgiving and will accommodate where I can, but when I make my decision, it is what it is. For example: you miss a reflex roll of a trap and have improved evasion so you would only take half damage from the falling rocks. Sure, great... half of 9,999.00 is 4,999.50. You dodged half of the falling rocks, but you are still dead!
Perma-death: Usually not on the table unless you either request it or your character does something incredibly stupid like hugging a sphere of destruction or a 10th level halfling bard calling a 2-Ton Ancient Red Dragon a rat with wings.
Rolling a 1 or 20: 20s will always be a success with me and I will try to come up with a crazy explanation why a character that shouldn't be able to do what they just di, somehow managed it. A roll of a 1, however, is different as I think a 5% of failing is too much, but there should always be a chance of failing or else why bother playing if you have no chance of failing. So, I tested out a way to do it that was well received so I will go with that. So, if you roll a 1, you then "confirm" the critical failure by rolling another time like you would confirm a critical hit. If you roll a 1-3 a second time, it is a critical failure. If not, you do not critically fail and succeed, to which I will tray and narrate a fun way as to how your character pulled success out of sure defeat!
Rolling with Advantage/Disadvantage: I will do this on rare occasion if it is warranted. If you make a lie and roll bluff: a- "I'm not going home" straight bluff roll. B- "We wanted to borrow that reindeer so we can use it to beat your hated rival and will not only return it after, but if we win you will get the prize as well. I only want the prestige of winning the race." Such a well concocted lie that also speaks to the marks wants... you roll twice and take the better of the two rolls. You try and intimidate the guard into ignoring you standing on the corner: straight intimidate roll. You try and intimidate the guard into letting you into the queen's palace in front of their captain: roll twice and take the worse roll!
Automatic Failures: You try to intimidate a paladin to step aside and let you kill that crying baby. Not happening even with a 20! The paladin is going to stab you!

Admin Announcements / Epic Reputation and Awards
Last post by Fire Wraith - Sep 30, 2024, 04:19 PMSo as people may have noticed, we've removed the default "Epic Reputation" feat, and replaced it with two new feats - Epic Reputation (Fame) and Epic Reputation (Influence).
These are meant to be something given out as a story/storyline award for meaningful involvement and roleplay in major plot lines, and recognize the impact of the deeds of some characters, providing minor skill bonuses, and a roleplay impact as far as how future NPCs will generally treat that PC. We have two versions in that one represents a character who is widely known, for good or bad, and will be easily recognized by most or all people (Fame). This will play out as fame or infamy depending on the location - an evil drow PC might be famous in the Underdark, and infamous in Cormyr, while a Cormyrian would be famous in Cormyr but infamous in Zhentil Keep, and so forth. The other represents a character whose deeds are known not far and wide, but in more quiet circles - among thieves, spies, assassins, Harpers, and various secretive shadowy types and those who associate with them good or bad, and it represents a reputation not by name, but by mystique, possibly a cover name or symbol, and thus is more for shadowy characters who don't want to be recognized openly.
Given that there are a number of characters we feel are likely qualified for this, the DM staff has put together an initial list. Note that you don't have to take this if you don't feel it's warranted for you, or don't feel that either of these fits your character, especially given that there can be RP/IC drawbacks to having them depending on the situation.
Additionally, if you feel you should be on this list, but aren't, let us know and we'll consider it. Even if we don't think your character does yet, you're certainly eligible for it from ongoing and future plots!

Alluring Apotheosis
The Heartwarder's increasing natural Charisma and connection to their goddess causes them to become a living embodiment of beauty, passion, and allure. Their outward appearance remains mostly the same, though possibly with the loss of any minor flaws, unwanted scars or blemishes, and the like.
They gain immunity to the effects of others' Charm, Dominate, and Hold Person spells, as such minor effects can no longer sway them to another's will against the force of their own charisma.
