Me When Skibidi

So there I was, having a totally chill game of D&D with my buddies, right? Just casually turning my fascist goblins into little comrades because, you know, communism is apparently the latest trend in fantasy realms 💀. And then out of the blue, my friend hits me with a polymorph spell, and bam! I'm not a dragon-born palladin anymore; I'm a skibidi toilet. Yep, you heard it right. A skibidi toilet. Adventures in the porcelain throne, anyone? 🚽😂

1. We can create new, unique races. If there are any new races, edit and link below. 2. We can create new, unique classes. If there are any new classes, edit and link below.

My Cheat Character Extra


  • Divine Immortal: Rudeus had a chance to become a true deity of rank 20, but chose to use his divine essence differently, undergoing "Divine Immortality" ritual. He gains most of the aspects of a rank 20 deity, except:
    • He does not get 20 Outsider levels.
    • He does not need any worshippers to exist or maintain his power; It belongs only to him, and as such, he is not under overdeity's rule.
    • He cannot grant spells to Clerics, give access to any Domains, or communicate with his worshipers.
    • He does not sense events related to his portfolio, nor is his mind affected by his domains in any way.

Diverse Goblins Of Dungeons And dragons

Diverse Goblins of Dungeons and Dragons. Idea made by Intellicraft


Hello, I am Intellicraft, and this is my ideas to make Goblins from DND more of a threat and have more diversity. This paper is divided into three parts, which are Removal and Add-Ons, creatures, and encounters. The removal and add-ons section is about removing features from goblins or even removing and entire goblin classification, and adding new features to them. The Creatures section is about adding new Goblin classifications. And the Encounters sections is about where you can find these goblins with or without their counterparts and gives the Goblins more of an economy with having them build patchwork villages that they live in. anyways let’s get started.

Part one: Remova…

On Balance Points

A lot of words have been exchanged as of late concerning the perceived value of each particular Balance Point. Having heard from both sides of the issue (through observation if not direct conversation), my conclusion amounts to the following, which I have already related to some in several chat discussions. This just has a little more permanency. The crux of the argument as I’ve seen it is whether or not the Rogue Balance Point should be held up to the standard of being the ideal BP (for which Ghostwheel is the primary advocate). Many of the other respected users on the site (led by Surgo) have argued against this stance in favor of the idea that no BP be put onto a pedestal above the rest and that they all have their own merits. While I …

HOUSE RULES

AS a DM, I haave certain rules and regulations that I require of my players. As such, I have no out-of-control PCs, though NPCs may run rampant. The house rules are as follows:

1) THE RULING OF THE DM IS ALWAYS FINAL. 2) Alert the DM if the DM breaks a rule. The DM will review the broken rule and correct the error purely at his own purveiw. 3) Elves are evil. ALWAYS. 4) All elite characters can cast animal friendship as the spell at will, except that it is applicable to animals, beasts, and magical beasts. 5) PCs cannot talk to NPCs about ranks, levels, or alignments (unless the NPC is an outsider of an aligned plane). 6) Epic level CANNOT be achieved without the DM's permission. In this case, epic level refers to class levels, not LA or EC…

Reality- your basis for understanding

I have heard on this site over and over again that D&D is just a game and that reality should not factor into game mechanics. I agree with the first part, but it is the second that pisses me off. Without an element of reality, any table top gaming system is in the dark with a bunch of confused people staring around at each other.


  • 1 Fact 1- Reality is the Base Line
  • 2 Fact 2- Reality is the Best Secondary to Rules
  • 3 Fact 3- Reality Prevents Absolute Ridiculousness
  • 4 Fact 4- Reality is Fucking Insane


Like it or not, reality is the only life experience anyone has anything to base anything else on. Take the following sample:

Recommended Reading for the Aspiring GM (for noobs only)

Below are some recommended web links that I would definitely give a look over, as well as expansions:

What is Texture? by Rich Burlew is a great introduction on how to get away from cut and paste jigsaw puzzle adventures. When you take on the role of a GM, the entire rest of the party will be relying on you to tell them everything about where they are and what is happening. If all you describe is a 10 foot square room with two orcs guarding a chest, your player will almost invariably picture their own cut and paste, bland, featureless vision of what the scene looks like. Thus, give detail. Tell them about the stink of orc filth and mildew as they approach the room. Let them feel the cold brass of the door covered in orcish warnings to keep …

Play to the Goal: Why D&D Kicks ASS! (unless you like reality)

There are a variety of systems out there for role players that display a wide range of systems from the heavily detailed to the over simplified. Here is what I see as the pros and cons of D&D, if not D20 in general:


  • 1 The Level System
  • 2 Combat
  • 3 Character Variety
  • 4 My Conclusion


D&D operates on a skill level system that determines a maximum limit on a characters traits and a way to divide up special abilities to certain skill rankings. This makes character power increase suddenly and across the board, making more skilled characters stronger, more skilled, better in their capabilities, and more survivable than their lesser counterparts. This is a fun system for fantasy play and often has me thinking of the various Final Fantasies. But it can and doe…

Diplomacy: a skill that should involve role playing

Negotiation and diplomacy: only the most munchkiny, hack festival, break down the door, hardcore mercenaries of war groups have never had a use for it. And yet I think making it a skill and a die roll is a mistake, if not only for the following reasons:

First, the actual skill is flawed in it's write-up. Taking a look at the rolls and DCs, I can see a 10th level bard that never needs to enter combat simply by announcing he is using diplomacy and converting everyone he meets into friendly groupies waiting on his every word. There is no scaling DC, no contested roll of any sort, no will save, and yet it duplicates the effects of some of the games most useful spells. While this is not bad in and of itself, it becomes bad when one reaches the "…

Strategy: Real vs. Metagaming

I've said it once, and I'll say it one more time: if a strategy involves dice, it is not strategy. Here's why:

Rolling dice is random. Always. This introduces an element of chaos. People have tried to explain to me that chaos is bad for strategy and planning. I have never argued against this, and agree with it completely. No, the problem is when in the same breath they start mentioning how they flank to get die bonuses and blah blah blah. I honestly think that they had contracted amnesia at this point. Once you are in game die rolling, be it combat or shopping, you have sworn away any rights to choice in the outcome, throwing caution to the wind and letting fate and chance decide for you. This is really shitty strategy. Gaining bonuses only…

If any of you have custom downloads or modules I can play with, they're quite welcome, along with any help--particularly on scripting! I also make multiple campaigns and maps, and I'm curretnly working on an end-all module, called Maploak's Hubland. Anyone can put their custom ideas, dungeons, monsters, and whatnot into this.

Alloid

THIS RACE IS NOT SUITABLE FOR CAMPAIGN USE AND IS NOT BALANCED.



  • 1 Alloid
    • 1.1 Personality
    • 1.2 Physical Description
    • 1.3 Relations
    • 1.4 Alignment
    • 1.5 Lands
    • 1.6 Religion

Summary::Alloids are humanoid creatures made of living metal.


Alloids can vary widely in personality as a human might.


In natural form an alloid looks like a human of average weight for being 6 feet tall except entirely metallic. Although made up of metal, alloids are not magnetic and are poor conductors of electricity (similar to rubber in this regard). Alloids bodies have a smooth texture like regular skin but are not very malleable.


Alloids are relatively unknown by other races and are usually interpreted to be the race that they appear a…

Ongoing Tips for New(er) Users

1. Sandboxes are your best friend: This site's adherence to quality control means that we don't let incomplete pages hang around for long. As such, any page with multiple incomplete sections will likely be labelled with the "Incomplete" template. But since no one prefers deletion, it will likely be much more common for your article to be moved to a Sandbox (which is a subpage of your userpage accessible by creating a page called "User:YourUserName/PageTitle") than it is for it to be deleted. This is very handy because whatever work you have already completed remains and you may edit your Sandboxes in just about whatever way you please, allowing you to tinker with Wiki-coding and formatting until you get the desired effect.

CR 20 Skype Application and House Rules

36 Points build

CR 20: We use CR instead of ECL, so you play as a CR 6 creature. Determining the CR of your character is simple, (Base CR + 1 per Character). Human and other core race (or race without LA normally) get a CR of 0. If you take a monster, determine the stat bonus using 10-11 and add +1 to the Cr of the monster you will play ( so a Succubus is CR 8). Why +1? Because you don't use 10-11 :P so you are stronger. If you want to play a monster you need my approval, I can disallow any particular monsters I see fit.

Gold: We're using Book of Gears

Ability scores, Leveling, and Feats: Feats are at each oddlevel.

Flaws: Yes, only one.

Traits: Yes

Impact of Ability Scores in 4e

In 4e, ability scores can improve somewhat rapidly by means of natural advancement. As always, the player has some choices to make, because - while all scores improve eventually - only the top two will do so very quickly. It can be expected that primary and secondary abilities will be increased at the rate of 3 points per tier (at every opportunity), whereas others will only increase 1 point (at 11th and 21st). This will lead to a gradually growing gap between a player's strengths and weaknesses.

Ability scores contribute to the following:

  1. Attack rolls,
  2. Damage rolls,
  3. AC,
  4. Defenses,
  5. Skill and ability checks,


  • 1 Attack Rolls
  • 2 Damage Rolls
  • 3 Armour Class
  • 4 Defesnses


Any given character will have access to attacks dependent upon only one or two abilities (ass…

Adaption of the Elder Scrolls

So yes I am taking on the ambitious project of making an adaptation of the Elder Scrolls world/games to D&D 3.5. Adding to the difficulty is that I have no knowledge of html so I'm currently proceeding by copying a layout that I like and then editing the text. I might note that it'll not be a standard adaptation; I'll not just be giving third edition statistics to the races and tossing in a few related feats. I want it to actually feel like playing the game on a tabletop, so I want to preserve as much of the mechanics of the computer games as possible... at least on the surface. If it all goes well, no or only small adjustments will need to made to any 3.5 material someone wants to use; after all, I -am- putting this on a D&D site.

Breaking the RNG III

It's the third of my ongoing series of RNG rants (see rant one or rant two if you're interested), and I still can’t find a concise way to talk about expected bonus values. I'm starting to wonder if I ever will be able to do it in a blog. So in the meantime I’m going to rant about the system differences between single and multiple RNGs, which is really me just using short hand to talk about the deep effects of whether your system allows multiple growth tracks or not. Allowing multiple growth tracks means that you can have a potentially difficult DC for one group be a potentially easy DC for another group when the groups are the same level before counting situational adjustments, though this is generally more obvious at higher levels where t…

Epic Combo of Epic Destruction.

So I recently decided to undertake the task of creating a Wizard Tier Melee Fighter. I know, I know, I'm not really the best person for the job but bear with me. If there's a will, there's a way. Right?

Anywho's, I really love playing melee fighters when I DnD. Its just my style to run up to somebody and beat them over the head with a really big sword. (Yeah, I played too much FF7 as a kid. I know.) Killing things the old fashioned way is just classic in my book. Debilitating status effects are for pussies, just beat them with a stick until they die.

So I hope to get the Andellion Warrior class up and polished soon. It is still a bit rusty at the moment, but given time and elbow-grease, it will get their. Any spastic comments wil…

While I have one rather slow game, I am interested in opening a second game that is not primarily 'roleplaying' based, but pretty much combat-based.

New Prestige Class Idea

Sup gaiz, requesting input on anything I put here. This includes any kind of potential abuse you see of the ability and a way of rectifying it.


Will be a continuation of the Martial Paladin. The class will be, more than likely, SEVEN levels long, aiming for a final level of 17.

Resolute (Ex): You gain the effects of the Last to Fall feat, even if you do not meet the prerequisites.

Vengeful Infusion (Ex): Whenever an ally is killed or knocked out during combat by an enemy, you gain temporary hit points equal to the fallen ally's hit die and a +2 bonus to strength. You cannot gain this bonus twice from the same ally per encounter. This effect is not triggered by any ally gained through any class features or feats.

Hero game rules and setting

This is an evolving document, especially as we all figure out the system more.


  • You get "Powerful"-level Heroic points, as well as a gob of cash (still figuring out how much) to spend on equipment (which is just Powers, in the form of cybernetics/bio-enhancements/gene therapy/whatever). I'm still figuring out equipment pricing and all that.
  • Max SPD you can buy with character points alone is 4 (that's the upper limit, not the amount you can buy).
  • There is no Energy Defense; it is folded into Physical Defense. It's just too niche for this sort of game.
  • Base skill roll is 8 + (CHAR/4), not 9 + (CHAR/5)
  • Everyman skills:
    • Cryptography
    • Deduction
    • Interrogation
    • Mechanics
    • Stealth
    • Any one Professional or Science skill.

I actually like 4e now. Bye bye 3.5...

So I gave in and bought a 4e manual. And guess what? I liked it enough to give up on 3.5e.


  • Starting Hit Points: Hit Dice + your Constitution Score at 1st level. Probably my favorite change in the whole world. Do the math in Hp gain in 3.5e and you will realize it is a decreasing return on investment. You are actually gaining a smaller percentage of your total Hp every time you level. How whack is dat?

Breaking the RNG II

In my last RNG rant, I talked about what it meant and how easy it was to do it and how hard it was to actually recognize it ahead of time because you have to determine what a level appropriate bonus even is in your game at your level. I was going to spend this one trying to explain how you determine what that bonus is at various levels and playstyles, but that turns out to be a seriously hard thing to write in a concise or even sensical way because the 3.x system is so broad at this point. And then a conversation over at TGD about the RNG suggested something else I could rant about, namely "when does leaving the RNG even matter?".

Yes, that's right, there are times that you can break the RNG and it doesn't even matter. There are times when …

Hi, my name is Jay. Lord Jay the Great if you so feel inclined. I came here a few months ago when I heard Surgo was creating a new wiki for the sane people of the world.

Breaking the RNG

It actively frustrates me when I read about something new breaking the RNG or going off of it. Almost never does the person actually refer to the new ways that they break it or why it matters or in what context, instead they only just refer to some nebulous bad that breaking the RNG is supposed to represent. Like it’s a holy artifact to be cared for or looked upon warmly or some crap instead of the fidly, poorly maintained and cared for piece of DnD that it is. So I’m gonna rant about it for a while, and start getting at what it actually means to be off the RNG in a scaling system.

Most of the regulars are familiar with the ideas behind the RNG, and how it’s pretty much broke in 3.x DnD. I imagine that some of our new users haven't heard of i…

Life

I'd like to apologize to folks for not being as active on the wikia as I should be, but I've simply had life getting in the way for a large chunk of my time.

On the Failure of Fumbles

Fumbles. They've never been anything more than an optional rule. While there have been, on occasion in different versions of the game, printed rules for fumbles, these have never been part of the core rules. Yet it seems most groups use them. That's not a bad thing.

However, I have come to the realization that most GMs use fumbles without considering the full implications of the set of rules they are using. So I'm going to lay out the implications of fumble rules.

1. Fumble rules always hurt PCs more than they hurt monsters. This is because a PC makes thousands of attack rolls over the course of a campaign, whereas a monster that lasts 10 rounds and full attacks each time with 3 attacks (total of 30 attacks in his lifetime) is considered an …
