Inspired by a prompt on r/Brewjammer with a set of keywords (return, dead gods, and cheer), I came up with this plot hook.
What if something ancient and powerful really didn't want to be brought back to life?

I got the idea for this NPC and her name a while ago, and then as I was building the character today I used a little further inspiration from Peggy Carter (Agent Carter), Carmen Sandiego, and "The Woman in the Red Dress" (The Matrix).
Do your enemies keep using counterspell to ruin your day? Ruin their day with this new metamagic option.
I imagined this as the sorcerer sending part of the broken, disrupted energy of the blocked spell back to the caster of the counterspell like some sort of bad feedback.

Adding a new option for sorcerers. This one causes a spell, such as fireball, to repeat in the same location after a very short delay.

My next video will be highlighting homebrews related to familiars. The idea for this magic item just for familiars popped into my head, so I made it.
The idea behind this is that it uses and adds to the bond between a spellcaster and their familiar, benefiting both.
Enjoy.

I created the original version of this back in high school almost 30 years ago.
This version is updated for 5th edition and is better balanced than 17-year-old-me's creation was.

Somebody out there wants a hammer made of stone. This might fit their character.
It's a magic hammer designed to break things. Constructs are close enough to things to qualify, and just for fun it is also great against creatures made mostly of stone or dirt.

Since I started posting on Patreon back in 2019, I've added colored images to each of my entries for consistency (blue for spells, yellow and blue for items, yellow for subclasses, blue and red for monsters, and so on).
While this does give me a little bit of control over how each entry looks on the main Patreon page and the individual entry pages, it also makes it so that every email that goes out says I posted or updated 2 images (when most posts are really 1 cont...

Let's start off 2022 on the right foot, with a brand new spell for the harried healers out there!
The idea for this spell struck me about 20 minutes ago, and I had to make it instead of just adding it to my ideas/to-do list.
This new spell lets a target have all of the yo-yo fun of falling down and getting back up again and again and again, without the bard/cleric/whatever spending their actions and bonus action every single turn to cast cure wounds and healing word 2022-01-01 23:46:41 +0000 UTC View Post
Perfect for when you want to knock out a group of guards all at once so you can sneak into a place without causing too much trouble, these arrows, bolts, or sling bullets release a burst of magical sleep dust on impact (becoming the center of an up-cast sleep spell).

It looks mostly empty, but you can use this vial to splash acid at creatures you don't like.

"Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never...ouch!"
This pair of magic clubs not only allow you to hurt things by hitting them, but they also make it so your words do hurt them.
Merry Xmas. :)

Anyone can use this magic want to throw a bit of fire at their enemies.
Updated 2023-03-22: Added new feature and clarifying text. The wand casts the lowest possible version of the cantrip, but if you go with the optional attunement, it improves with your character level like a known cantrip.

My son showed me a weapon he got in a video game that looked (and sounded) like a set of handheld sleigh bells, and I was instantly inspired to create something called "slay bells".
The result is this dangerous spell. The rings involved in the visual and the spell's name come, of course, from a popular holiday song.
"SLAY bells ring, are you listening?"
I'm sharing it right away with everyone as a bit of a holiday treat.
Ho Ho Ho!

If you need a large expanse of frozen sea for an epic winter conflict, this gridless battle map may serve your needs.
This image is intended for a 50x50 square map, using Roll20's usual 70x70 pixel squares. You should be able to stretch or shrink it for other VTTs without issue.
The full map is nearly 5 mb, so the preview above is just a small section of the map. Please download the full map image that is linked below for your games.

Inspired by a post found on Facebook, this magical staff allows a spellcaster to draw on the power of a slain green hag, but only while attuned to and holding the staff.

Perfect for diverting someone's attention when you need it. Could also be fun for a ventriloquism act.
