D&D Isekai: Render Unto Them A New World

@Guardian Angel Haruki Oo! That works! Different climates on different sides.

I mean, we could as well keep just NA, Russia or China as a map and then every other continent is a different plane of existence/different dimension or so. Those three are massive after all.

D&D Isekai: Render Unto Them A New World

@Lewascan2 We could always play it out as Pangeea. One continent, linked together. That way we'll have a massive contient that, we can explore if we want and it's still based on Earth's geography albeit a very old one.

D&D Isekai: Render Unto Them A New World

And because I got bored, I made this homebrew class:

Arcane Warden Class

Subclasses

**Subclass: Warden of the Veil**

The Warden of the Veil focuses on creating zones of anti-magic and controlling the battlefield by disrupting magic in specific areas.

**Enhanced Disruption (3rd Level):** Your mastery over anti-magic grows stronger. Your maximum Disruption Points increase by 2. Additionally, when you use a feature that expends Disruption Points, you can choose to spend an additional point to increase the effect. For example, you can spend an extra point when using Zone of Suppression to extend its duration by 2 minutes, or an extra point when using Veilbreaker to increase its radius to 20 feet.

**Zone of Suppression (7th Level):** When you use your Arcane Cleansing ability, you can choose to spend 1 additional Disruption Point to extend the suppression effect for an additional minute. Creatures within the area have disadvantage on spell attack rolls and must make concentration saving throws at disadvantage.

**Disruptive Aura (10th Level):** You emit an aura of anti-magic around you. Creatures within 10 feet of you have disadvantage on spell attack rolls and must make concentration saving throws at disadvantage. Allies within this aura gain advantage on saving throws against spells and magical effects.

**Veilbreaker (14th Level):** You gain the ability to create a focused zone of anti-magic. As an action, you can expend 3 Disruption Points to create a 10-foot radius sphere of suppressed magic centered on a point within 60 feet of you. Spells and magical effects within this zone are dispelled, and concentration is broken for any affected creatures. The zone lasts for 1 minute.

**Subclass: Rune Enforcer**

The Rune Enforcer delves into the art of inscribing protective runes and glyphs that disrupt magic and enhance your anti-magic abilities.

**Rune Mastery (3rd Level):** You gain proficiency with calligrapher's supplies. During a short rest, you can inscribe a number of runes equal to your proficiency bonus on non-magical items. You can expend 1 Disruption Point to activate a rune on a creature or object within 5 feet of you, granting you an effect based on the type of rune inscribed.

**Disruptive Glyph (7th Level):** As an action, you can expend 2 Disruption Points to inscribe a disruptive glyph on the ground. The glyph covers a 10-foot square and lasts for 1 minute. Creatures within the glyph's area have disadvantage on spell attack rolls and must make concentration saving throws at disadvantage.

**Runic Amplification (10th Level):** When you use your Dispel Magic ability, you can expend 3 Disruption Points to infuse the dispelling energy with runes. The dispelled creature or magical effect cannot be restored by magic for 1 minute.

**Rune Warding (14th Level):** Your mastery over runes is unparalleled. When you activate a rune using your Rune Mastery feature, you can choose to expend 1 extra Disruption Point to enhance the rune's effect. For example, you can grant yourself temporary hit points equal to your Arcane Warden level when activating a defensive rune.

**Subclass: Arcane Adversary**

The Arcane Adversary focuses on countering the abilities of magical races and creatures, using their anti-magic prowess to disrupt and nullify their magical traits.

**Racial Suppression (3rd Level):** You gain specialized knowledge about the magical abilities of various races and creatures. Choose one type of magical race or creature (e.g., dragons, fey, undead, etc.). You gain advantage on saving throws against spells and abilities of that type, and you can expend 1 Disruption Point to impose disadvantage on saving throws made by creatures of that type within 30 feet of you.

**Ethereal Disruption (7th Level):** You gain the ability to disrupt the ethereal plane, making it harder for ethereal creatures to manifest in the material plane. As an action, you can expend 2 Disruption Points to create an anti-magic aura in a 15-foot cone originating from you. Ethereal creatures entering or starting their turn in this area must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier) or be forced out of the Material Plane and return to the Ethereal Plane.

**Magic Nullification (10th Level):** Your mastery over anti-magic expands. When you use your Arcane Cleansing ability, you can choose to expend 3 Disruption Points to extend the suppression effect to a 5-meter radius. In this zone, magical creatures' abilities and magical effects are suppressed, and they have disadvantage on saving throws against spells and abilities.

**Counter Enchantment (14th Level):** You gain the ability to counter enchantments and control over your own anti-magic aura. When a magical effect or spell targets you or a creature within your Disruptive Aura, you can use your reaction and expend 2 Disruption Points to attempt to dispel the effect. If the effect is an enchantment, it has a 50% chance of being dispelled.

**Subclass: Artificer's Bane**

The Artificer's Bane focuses on neutralizing magical items, devices, and technology through their anti-magic prowess.

**Magitech Disruption (3rd Level):** You gain a deep understanding of magical items, devices, and technology. When you expend Disruption Points to use an anti-magic ability, you can choose to target a magical item or device instead of a creature. The targeted item must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier) or have its magical properties suppressed for 1 minute.

**Arcane Sabotage (7th Level):** You gain the ability to sabotage magical devices with precision. As an action, you can expend 2 Disruption Points to touch a magical item or device. The item must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier) or be rendered non-functional for 1 minute.

**Nullifying Grasp (10th Level):** Your mastery over anti-magic extends to touch. When you hit a creature with a melee weapon attack, you can expend 3 Disruption Points to impose a Nullifying Grasp. The target must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier) or be unable to use magical abilities or items for 1 round.

**Lasting Disruption (14th Level):** You can permanently disable a single magical item or construct with your anti-magic energy. As an action, you can expend 5 Disruption Points to focus your anti-magic energy on a single target. The target item or construct must succeed on a Constitution saving throw (DC = 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Constitution modifier) or have its magical properties suppressed permanently. Constructs affected by this feature are also stunned for 1 minute.

Criticism is always welcome 😊

And I'm currently working on a Jack of all trades type of class. Just trying to make it balanced.

D&D Isekai: Render Unto Them A New World

@CaptainManbeard Oooo! Now that's an original idea. Our world but transformed into fantasy. Now that's awesome.



If someone has any talent at drawing the above, have at it. I can make maps in Inkarnate if needed, not the best at it but I've done a few in the past.

D&D Isekai: Render Unto Them A New World

Loads of ideas.

We can go worldbuilding in multiple ways. Random by asking ChatGBT to create some gods for us and then we edit them OR each player makes their own 3 or so divinities.

As a head of the pantheon I suggest we go away from Light is at the top trope. What if this time we'd have a Time deity? Time has, after all, control over everything in a way or the other. We could also go for like Chaos as the leader. Not evil, not good.

Giants would be awesome to have their own empire but as well the "smaller races". The Goblins, the slimes, kobolds etc. It's been bugging me for a long time that the minor races were always seen as tribal/monster like.

D&D Isekai: Render Unto Them A New World

@Guardian Angel Haruki You can choose someone to do it or if the main DM is up for it, they could sometimes jump in. Deities don't usually interact with mortals in "clear" ways, so it works if the main DM will only write up once in a while.

D&D Isekai: Render Unto Them A New World

@CaptainManbeard You could always be a "silent" DM. While we control the parts of the stories, you could jump in when you've got the time and throw a wrench in our plans or appear as a "ghost" to guide/save/harm our characters depending on the situation.

@Guardian Angel Haruki I've seen it done before with custom races (primarily D&D) and you could choose the original race as we'd know it OR create a variant of your own alongside a location/country etc for it. The player then would have the chance when they'd be the DM to take the other players to the location and create a story there. If the main DM would see that things...stalled, he would've just jumped in and "timeskip" to the next location of the new DM.

D&D Isekai: Render Unto Them A New World

I wasn't thinking this would still go on as there was no actual RP page but wow. This is a lot.

Congrats on your promotion, mate! Regarding the DMing bit, if I may add my opinion, why not make it like every player (unless they just don't want to) will DM a part of the story or each will have their own story/plot and then they can make the story/plot as long or short as they want.

Why Were We Reincarnated as Orcs?!

@Zeroth Didn't see Steel's message, apologies. Posted up now :)

Why Were We Reincarnated as Orcs?!

Harmony Amidst Chaos

Carmina gathered everything she could and considered eating some of them to use her ingestion skill but decided against it as two animals appeared. They seemed to be locked into their hunter-hunted roles.

As she was just about to make move, a very loud scream could be heard. For a moment, Carmina was split. Self-preservation told her to attack the monsters or run but her heart told her she had to save whoever screamed like that.

Thinking for a few seconds, Carmina took a deep breath and used her Sing skill to encourage both or at least the one that looked more dangerous to follow her.

Monstrous friend, come follow my lead,
Together we'll explore this land.
No need for fear, just trust in me,
In unity, we're wild and free.

Hoping the song worked, Carmina ran towards the place where she saw the flash of light and the loud screaming.
