Lester's Last Laugh

Get the last laugh on your foes, and make them laugh along with you, with this magical amulet.

Edit: I took up sketching as a hobby yesterday, and tonight I drew this amulet as one of my first sketches. It turned out well, so this entry now also contains a special illustrated version that includes the artwork.

NPC: Friendship, the One-Trick Pony

Once the familiar of a powerful wizard, this spirit was slain and reincarnated as a pastel blue pony with a purple mane and tail. He is extraordinarily intelligent for a pony and is often accompanied by powerful individuals. When he was reborn, it was with the ability to use magic on his own.

This was created in response to a post on the Patreon  creator Discord channel.

Spell: Curse of the Unfooled

With April 1st coming up tomorrow (known by many as April Fool's Day), I'm sharing this spell I created this morning so people can use it in their games.

The spell is inspired by those people that, probably with good cause, refuse to believe anything shown or said by anyone (especially close friends and family) for an entire day.

Enjoy!

Track down your prey, sneak up on it, kill it quickly...and eat it?

This druid subclass gives you abilities to hunt other creatures, become stronger while using Wild Shape, and eventually (quickly) eat what you've hunted.

Pact Boon: Pact of the Shield

Some otherworldly patrons would prefer if their warlocks not die so easily and they provide this protective boon.

This pact boon has several eldritch invocations designed to work with it:

Token: Spell Template, Fear, 30 ft. cone

This simple visual effect was created to use as a token with a virtual tabletop platform such as Roll20.net. It's designed to be used as a 6x6 square vfx token/overlay (use it like you would use AoE templates at your physical table).

This was made for marking the location of the fear spell.

OGL/SRD/Copyright Progress Report

I am slowly working my way through my existing content to bring everything in line with the WotC OGL/SRD (Open Gaming License/Systems Reference Document), since I publish here on Patreon and this stuff no longer fits nicely under their Fan Content Policy.

I am also going back to add a proper copyright notice to everything.

As of now, I have finished with all 72 subclasses. I had to change out some of the spells given by some of them to only use SRD spells or those I've made myself...

Crown of the Warleader

This magic crown gives you military knowledge and influence with those within armies.

View Post

Crown of Flowers

It's a magic crown of vines, with flowers on it. With it, anyone can feel like a druid.

Crown of Thorns

This magic crown gives a powerful boost to your spellcasting, but that comes with a cost to your health.

Spell: Bring to Ground

Do those pesky enemies keep climbing or flying out of reach? Bring them to ground with this handy spell.

This is much like a certain published spell, but it's not in the SRD. Kinetic Warriors totally need this power, and I modified things so it works on climbers, keeps creatures that are on the ground from jumping, and can affect more targets using higher level spell slots.

View Post

Spell: Hurl Object

Use a bit of telekinesis magic to hurl a blunt (or sharp or pointy) object through the air.

Yes, it's a lot like a certain published spell, but that one isn't in the SRD and a good Kinetic Warrior needs this.

Crown of Achievement

Usually when you get a crown, it means you achieved something. In this case, the crown can lead you to later achievements.

Eldritch Invocation: Cloak of Invisibility

Created to go along with the Pact of the Cloak boon, this lets your warlock use the cloak to turn invisible.

Inspired by a certain 1980s cartoon.

Eldritch Invocation: Cloak of Shielding

Created to go along with the Pact of the Cloak boon, this lets you use the cloak as a shield to protect yourself.

View Post

Eldritch Invocation: Cloak of Attacks

Created to go along with the Pact of the Cloak boon, this lets your warlock use the cloak itself as a weapon.

Lave Elf Mace

There's always a need for simple smashing weapons like maces. This one is topped by a bit of fire that never goes out.

Updated April 27, 2021: Added personally illustrated version.

Spell: Bag of Bees

This fun spell conjures a small velvet pouch that specifically says "Do not open" on it. You were warned...

Inspired by tonight's D&D session when someone else's PC tried to catch part of a swarm of bees with their empty lootin' sack.

2023-03-07: Made an illustration for this spell.

Thanks.

Spell: Inner Keg (a Fe-Brewery creation)

Drink anyone under the table with this spell, or fill up on water at the start of your day so you don't have to carry a waterskin.

Created for day 28 of Fe-Brewery, a month of daily drink-themed homebrew content.
