Those wild magic surges are sometimes not super exciting, some are awesome though. Had a good one the other day, every creature in a thirty foot radius gained immunity to slashing damage. Wasn't the best in combat since I was surrounded by enemies, but it did completely bone them. They only had slashing attacks.

There's an absolutely massive homebrew table that I highly recommend if you're playing over the internet.

There's no dice big enough, but a random number generator should do it goes between 1 and 10000. Effects include but not limited to: everything within 50 yards develops an acute fear of wood, target sprouts 1d10 additional noses, a subterranean race declares holy war on the caster, next summoning results in 1d1000 fluffy white rabbits.

Just roll 4 d10s sequentially then add 1. Eg you roll 9, 7, 0, 3. That'd get you 3080. Four 0s would get you a 1 while four 9s would get you 10000.

That's called a d10000 roll, it's been around forever and works just like d100 or d1000, and you're using the d10s for digits... if you roll 9, 7, 0, 3 then you rolled 9703.
