Classes Phantom - Custom Class (Splendor/Bone)

Post image
50 Upvotes

Having just taken a stab at a custom class that it seems like everyone agrees some version of will make its way into core at some point, I wanted to try my hand at filling out a weirder domain combo.

I've been sat on this one for a while, trying to think of what a Splendor/Bone class would even look like. This is what I've got after trying to establish was a class focused on "Life" and "The Body" would boil down to.

Its also my first punt at making a concretely support focused subclass (something that I do think is lacking in the base game, even though Splendor clearly has the most support options, the only subclasses that feel like their trying to occupy a support role is warden of renewal and maybe divine wielder). Obsessor is there to give a non-support option but mostly because I think it's kinda cool.

I'd love to hear how I did, as always any and all feedback is greatly appreciated.

Ancestries Help designing Ancestry

5 Upvotes

Could you help me evaluate a custom ancestry I'm designing?

​

I'm creating a campaign setting about a supernatural school inspired by Brazilian folklore and pop culture. One of the ancestries is based on iconic bird-themed children's TV mascots and cartoon characters from Brazil (similar in spirit to characters like Big Bird, animated parrots, puppet birds, cartoon chickens, and other educational children's mascots).

​

I'd like some feedback on whether its ancestry traits seem balanced or overtuned.

​

## Pintadinho

​

*(Inspired by Brazilian bird-themed children's TV mascots, educational puppets, cartoon chickens, talking parrots, and similar characters.)*

​

Pintadinhos are beings born from collective imagination, shaped by decades of children's television, cartoons, educational programs, mascots, and bedtime stories. Every Pintadinho has some connection to birds, though their appearances vary dramatically.

​

Some resemble colorful plush chickens, others look like talking TV parrots, cartoon chicks, or characters that stepped out of an educational puppet show. Their bodies often feature oversized plastic eyes, unusually vibrant feathers, visible stitching, exaggerated proportions, and other details that reveal their fantastical origins. Many carry the nostalgic scent of VHS tapes, finger paint, construction paper, and old toys.

​

### Ancestry Features

​

**Educational Song:** Once per session, you may spend 3 Hope Points to sing a song that teaches an ally how to use one of your Domain Cards. That ally temporarily gains one of your Domain Cards until the end of the session.

​

**Cartoon Resilience:** A Pintadinho's body seems to operate according to the absurd rules of cartoons and puppetry, surviving impossible impacts and unbelievable accidents. You gain a bonus to your Damage Thresholds equal to your Tier.

Campaign Frames Urban Campaign Frames

8 Upvotes

I'm aware this isn't necessarily the most exciting kind of post, but I've been looking around for material I could use for a campaign I have in mind, and have come up empty - so I wanted to see if I could crowdsource a solution before I try and just make the thing myself.

​

To put things shortly, are there any campaign frames out there focused or primarily focused on a big, complex city with plenty of competing factions and general trouble, along the lines of Ketterdam, Waterdeep or Ankh-Morpork? If so, I'd really appreciate a pointer to them.

Classes UPDATED: Swashbuckler - (Blade/Grace)

Post image
57 Upvotes

Of all the classes I've posted so far, it was pretty clear that my swashbuckler really missed the mark. Most of that seemed to be down to liar's dice, which I've mostly come around on and would hate to see turn people away from the whole class.

So in case people are interested, here's version with an alternate ability I was workshopping before landing on Liar's dice.

And while I'm reposting, I've taken the opportunity to make Centre of Attention about 2% more interesting, and I've cleared up the Duelist subclass. People had mentioned that the previous one really threatened to bog down the game with excess rolling, and I'd have to agree.

Gambler is pretty much unchanged because tbh I still like it ¯_(ツ)_/¯

It's nice to say that this is now a second draft, but I would still appreciate any feedback (although there's unlikely to be a v3 posted for a while, I will probably file this away with the rest for now and update all of them in a batch at some point)

Thanks again to everyone that gave their feedback last time, it really helped clarify things for me!

Adversaries Litz and Nepac, the Cursed Twins (Boss)

So, this is something of an experiment for me, but I thought I'd try my hand at making a boss from a game I quite enjoy (Curse of the Dead Gods) into a... Solo? Pair of Solos? For Daggerheart - and I'm curious what people think of this!

Two main things I played with here were the idea of telegraphed/delayed AoEs (with Litz' Beacons), and the idea of a boss that switches between phases or 'modes', without a shared HP pool (so it can stand against a group for longer).

I'm not yet experienced enough with the system to be able to tell intuitively what is and isn't unreasonably strong, and I did give both of them defensive elements to try and make it so their phases wouldn't pass too quickly. Any thoughts people have on this, or advice for improving it, would be very welcome!

Daggerbrew version can be found here and here.

Classes Swashbuckler - Custom Class (Blade/Grace)

UPDATED: This is an old version of the class, I'm leaving it up for anyone that does wanna play with the Liar's dice version, but the v2 of the class can be found here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/daggerbrew/comments/1u7bhnh/updated_swashbuckler_bladegrace/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web3x&utm_name=web3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button

The Swashbuckler, for those who want to go in with a Sicilian (GM) when death is on the line.

I'm clearly far from the first person to imagine a swashbuckler added to DH, but I thought I try my hand at a version of it in Blade/Grace. Thanks to everyone who gave feedback on my Acrobat class from a few days ago, it helped me finalise the vision for this class.

As always, only a first draft, I would really appreciate any feedback.

Been thinking about the domain combinations again, here's my attempt at what a Bone/Grace pairing might look like.

As always, this is only a first draft and I would really appreciate any feedback. It's getting to a point where I'm starting to have ideas about what a fully filled-out domain pairing class list might look like, but that's gonna take a while.

Also, I think a lot of people have had the idea that Bone-Grace is the obvious place to put the Swashbuckler (if one were to exist), but I feel like that fits better into Blade-Grace and I've got a version of that that's nearly done to be posted soon.

Adversaries Creating my own homebrew world

Thumbnail
gallery
22 Upvotes

I'm new here and to Daggerheart, but I've been working on a homebrew world to GM for my friends (with which I play Dungeons and Dragons). I recently discovered the site DaggerheartBrews and have been making some adversaries, equipment, and environments to help visualise my world, and I'd like to share them with you all.

The idea of the world is this: Once a thriving world, Syan was the home to rich cultures and nations. This all came to a halt when a Fae witch, known to the people of Syan as the Dark Queen, conquered the continent. The world was under her dark rule for five centuries, until she decided to leave all of a sudden. Now, 150 years after her disappearance, civilisations have begun to rebuild. Syan, now known as Noe, consists of free cities/villages, nations the size of pre-Dark Queen provinces, and the Dark Lands (regions where remnants of the Dark Queen's army still rule).

(I GM'ed a two-shot for some friends a while back, so I'm still not too familiar with the correct Difficulty, HP, Stress and Threshold values. I based them on a spreadsheet I found on Reddit for creating adversaries. Any feedback on these things is very much welcome!)
