Special thanks to my dear friend and wonderful dm @mushroomflowercrown for the collaboration on making this nasty boy!

Worth noting that the Parasite feature is susceptible to the Bag of Rats issue, which is a little ironice what with the whole Black Plague Doctor theme.

If you’re worried about that, I would stipulate that you can’t gain more healing than damaging the creature actually does. Therefore, killing a 1hp rat (or any other small creature) gives half a hit point which per dnd rules is rounded down, and heals nothing

This technically doesn’t stop someone from bashing an elk to death to heal themself, but as a dm I think it’d be fairly easy to not make tanky easy prey accessible. Also if your player does that they’re kind of a dick. Feel free to play around with the stipulations of the ability, I never really thought about it being used that way.

#thanks for the feedback!#unfortunate side effect of cool abilities#is there are exploits abound#but it’s homebrew so at least nothing’s sacred#I’ve played w a plague cleric once#but only at level 11#so haven’t gotten to playtest parasite yet

I figured I should share this NASTY boy with the world! Whether you want to bring a little spice to your Curse of Strahd/Horror campaign, or you just want to watch with joy as all of your players recoil in disgust at the Impregnate action, this fetid little monster might be the thing you need! Special shoutout to @homebrewfromthevoid for helping me with the formatting, and @dykes-and-dragonss for giving opinions and being my buddy. Check out their blogs for more homebrew content !

Quite a while ago, I helped someone design an elemental warlock pact. My main contribution was the fire section, which I wrote nearly in its entirety, but I was never actually credited for the project and have had half a mind to make my own version of it since. Well, I finally did! For when you can’t stop listening to Arsonist’s Lullaby, or you make a warlock who’s patron is accidentally a phoenix.

The first installment of The Genasi Bible!

I made a whole hell of alot of genasi subraces. These are the planar variants. I’ll be uploading each in little installments, otherwise it’d be a million pages!

The lore section for each is meant to give you ideas for flavor of the character, so feel free to ignore it completely in favor of your own ideas!

when making your homebrew stuff, how do you add that faded effect around images?

I use this album of page stain effects, just pop them in your document on homebrewery or gmbinder as an image and set them to the size of the page and then move around the other picture until it fits nicely in.

If you have a picture that won’t fit into the page stain, you can use any kind of photo editing software to layer the stain above the image however you’d like and add that as a whole as an image, though depending on the size this may be noticeable as there will be a small cut where the manilla-y color doesn’t match up (this is what I had to do for that fucking horrid cow boot. it sucked)

Using gmbinder, a thing I’ve found is that you actually need to set the height/width of the page stain about 20px above the actual page size, or else when you convert it to a pdf there’ll be an ugly stripe up the side/bottom depending on the picture. The height i usually set it to is 1070px(the actual height of the page is 1056px), and unless you input a custom width it’ll maintain the ratio.

Generally I just resize and move around the image until it fits where I want it to go by adjusting the width/height and positioning it to absolute left/right and adding a pixel number (-Xpx will send it off the page farther the higher the number goes)

(If you guys ever want, I can release some of the raw code for documents I’ve made so you can get a sense of what does what)

#i hope this makes sense?#or maybe it's too much information!#basically you gotta have some knowledge of html#and fiddle until it looks good#not dnd#jurassicash

Animal Companion Class

I DM one game of D&d, and I play regularly in another. In both campaigns, we have a lot of animals that travel with us but, as both campaigns approach level 10, the utility of these animal companions is quickly disappearing. Most of the monsters we face can one-hit them. 

    Then I found this post by @rollforlesbian where they made a Mount class. https://rollforlesbian.tumblr.com/post/184515484919/okay-story-time-today-literally-this-morning-i I loved the idea but in my groups, we don’t really bother with our mounts. We do however have dogs that fight alongside us, and birds we use to scout things out. So I decided to make a class for all animal companions, divided into  three subclasses: the Steed for mounts - horses and deer and big dogs for halflings and such; the Scout for sneaky, clever creatures like weasels, birds, foxes and such; and the War Beast for dogs, wolves, the fighting animals. 

Check it out,  and let me know if you find it useful! 

Most notably, the Companions don’t level traditionally, don’t increase their HP with every level up and only go up to level 10. The reason for this is that I don’t want to totally steal the utility away from the Beastmaster Ranger, which in the PHB sucks but there IS @theladyspanishes Beastmaster Redux which is amazing. I also just try never to steal from one option to give to another. These Companions are meant to be cool, and useful into the mid and even high levels but not SO good that they can replace an actual PC or class. 

#this is so cool i love it!!#im so glad you were inspired
