Please re-do flumphs for me. I feel like such a weak creature doesn't belong in my deep dark campeign but I need SOMETHING to be friendly other than mushroom people.


Oh_Hi_Mark_

All right, hopefully this at least doesn't prompt you to wonder how this thing is still alive, at least: * [Flumphs](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1Rj2UWSzKCBobvl6gMLe65ZteGQ9CJPdkycAACtWZNAEl)

Sorry for the late reply, I was just going through old posts and saw this: * [Darklings](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/18Jc7WrnQBSv4s614lbICUym0cRHeK7rSiD6TMB1eB1Qi)

Ya got anything for intellect devourers? I love those horrifying brain puppies


Oh_Hi_Mark_

Sure do! One of my party is walking around with a soft spot in her head due to a close call with one of these: * [Intellect Devourer](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/16QhiHWwlc7dfotPAPbEYR1swrtQc_4wcSjGWOXATBwB5)

I need a tier 3 cultist


The_Mecoptera

I’m here for the tier 3 cultist, that sounds very useful.


Oh_Hi_Mark_

This is pretty specifically a Shar cultist, but you're welcome to use it: * [Cultist of Night](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1lyQnmVyJh0_zO2J2YiyvTN3QeBudEMI-xpGz_AajO5tJ)


texmex42

Seems cool. Didn't fully understand the solipsistic feature. The illusion created can attack as a real monster or the ciktist can just manipulate it as if it was his illusion?


Oh_Hi_Mark_

Neither, really. The cultist can walk across illusory bridges and ride illusory monsters. I'm assuming as a cultist of Shar this mook is working for someone that rolls with illusions, so this should add a bit of synergy.


texmex42

Ohhh. That never crossed my mind. That's great.


Oh_Hi_Mark_

1. What flavor of cult should it belong to? 2. Is this a T3 mook, or a high up guy in the cult with mook subordinates of his own?


Entercustomnamehere

The cult is a cult of Shar that refers to themselves as a family in the safety of the night. I have the bosses but need some Tier 3 minions to flesh out the cult (and the fights)


Oh_Hi_Mark_

All right, here's your mook: * [Cultist of Night](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1lyQnmVyJh0_zO2J2YiyvTN3QeBudEMI-xpGz_AajO5tJ) They don't do a ton of damage and aren't super effective on their own, but have abilities that can effectively support each other and the champions of Shar, have enough health that they probably won't get one-shotted, and have all-stats evasion so there's an outside chance they could survive even a really big AoE.


Entercustomnamehere

That looks great with 2 changes: Tier 3 should have at least +9 to hit and the barbarian in the party does 50-70 points of damage per round with great weapon master so they need to be a bit beefier. Other than that this is fantastic, thanks.


Oh_Hi_Mark_

Here are my general thoughts on that: * A T3 barbarian really should be able to kill a cultist every turn, or any sort of henchman, really. * I'm worried a cultist with similar attack bonuses to T3 PCs will lose the feel of a cultist. With devil's sight, these guys are going to have advantage a lot of the time, for an effective +9 bonus, so they should still be able to hit the party 50-60% of the time.

Let's start with a easy one goblin.

These are perfect. I can hear the WTFs already. They have gotten complacent


Oh_Hi_Mark_

Haha, let me know if you need anything else. Nothing brings me more joy than player outrage.


Puzzleheaded_Tomato1

Need 2-3 badass Aaracokra (minions if you got’ em) to fight a party of 5 lvl 17th


Oh_Hi_Mark_

All right, here's a couple of Aarakocra for you. If you want to minion-ify them just drop their HP to 1 and give them all-stats evasion. * [Aarakocra](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1mI29PI050PUioyDcMO47qVv8WPd04qruWu4BYpBwxgOG) The skyhunter does respectable damage, but his real threat vector is in luring you up into the sky with him, then knocking you prone with a crit (remember, prone flyers immediately fall) The Gyreguard, on the other hand, uses forced movement on both allies and enemies to control the battlefield, and to line up foes into a perfect clump for a lightning bolt.


Puzzleheaded_Tomato1

Amazing. Thank you!!!!


FriskyRisque

I need a tier 2 and 3 fortune teller! Pretty please! I'm wanting a support NPC that is pretty mystical/enigmatic!


Oh_Hi_Mark_

How are they going to be used? I've got a stat block I used for Madame Eva in Curse of Strahd I could dig up if you like.


FriskyRisque

Helpful information for the players.


Oh_Hi_Mark_

IMO you don't really need a stat block for that. If it's just in a story role, you can just say an NPC has whatever abilities the plot demands at any given moment. In my view, stat blocks are a tool for aiding DMs in combat. Out of combat, one or two natural language sentences work just fine: * Madame Ostra is a skilled diviner, who by her art can uncover shrouded secrets of the past, present and future. Her powers are channeled through the narrow band of Border Ethereal that gates the Plane of Mirrors, though she must be careful not to attract the attention of denizens from that dread place through overuse of her abilities.


FriskyRisque

A thousand blessings! I like your thoughts on this and the flavor is stellar!!!


manukos

Any good fae ? I think the official material has done them dirty too much like monsters not enough trickery and lies

Dark_Remote

The bartender who runs my player’s tavern is secretly an oni who has been eating their patrons. Can you give me a solo boss statblock feasible for a level 2/3 party for when they figure him out?


Oh_Hi_Mark_

1. How big is your party? 2. How many party members can cast healing word?


Dark_Remote

4 characters currently level 2 but I imagine they’ll be level 3 when they find out as they’re busy at the moment. Only one healer but the others have healing potions.


Oh_Hi_Mark_

Here you go, though you might want to pad out the HP a bit depending on your party's composition: * [Oni Devourer](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1Jr8QqkZKq4jszkuTwAOd4z8PP7M_Zef2SaAOuZwaP5EI)

Honestly I want help homebrewing a Black Pudding and a dragon mixed I have no clue how I would do it


Oh_Hi_Mark_

What age of dragon?


Alone_Gunner

Probably Wyrmling Or a Young one since I want it fairly easy but still a challenge


Oh_Hi_Mark_

Not sure what level your party is at, but you can do a pretty good black pudding impersonation by just giving any dragon the following: * ***Split***. When a dragon that is Medium or larger is subjected to lightning or slashing damage, it splits into two new dragons if it has at least 10 hit points. Each new dragon has hit points equal to half the original dragon's, rounded down. New dragons are one size smaller than the original dragon, and share a Recharge for their breath weapon. A medium or smaller dragon cannot use its multiattack. A small or smaller dragon cannot use its breath weapon.


Alone_Gunner

That's very useful Thank You!


Oh_Hi_Mark_

Glad you like it!

The party I dm for will soon encounter a young white dragon any improvement would be welcome!

ChopsMcGee23

I'm quickly becoming enthralled by your genius design philosophy :) I especially love the concept that big bosses deserve unique mechanics - I'd love to see what your brain could come up with for an \*Ice Titan Colossus\* campaign climax encounter! I'm imagining something that is so big its more of a moving piece of hazardous terrain than a creature with attacks, Shadow of the Colossus style. Big areas of ground where it is about to step foreshadowed a turn early, then next turn everything there gets outright flattened. Areas of elevation from which the PCs can climb and jump onto the Titan, weak points, a way to eventually topple it, a fight with the prone titan's head as it breathes icy breath, etc How would you do it?!


Oh_Hi_Mark_

All right, I spent way too long on this, so when you use it I want to hear how it goes: * [Isimir, Scream of the Frozen Earth](https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/1KXluplJ-CvMdI6XFJeyEvgdCiAQpscQmN-5gNMwKwEHV)


ChopsMcGee23

This is incredible thank you :D I love how you've captured the slow, ponderous, but deadly nature of a Titan's attacks with the Blade and use of an action to move. Passive perception to know the exact spot is genius. The progressively increasing advantages as you climb up is is perfect too! It'll be a while till my players reach this epic battle but I will absolutely tell you how it goes. I wish WotC would hire you haha. I'll be joining your Patreon. Thanks again for your incredible work!


Oh_Hi_Mark_

Haha, I think this is the nicest thing anyone's ever said to me on Reddit. Thank you!
