Flapping Around On Bat-like Wings, The Medic's Misery Is A Foul Parasite That Lurks In Temples, Hospitals

Flapping around on bat-like wings, the medic's misery is a foul parasite that lurks in temples, hospitals and other places of healing. It feeds on magic energy, sapping the strength of clerics and druids as they go about the business of tending the sick.

Their huge, yellow eyes glisten whenever they spy an opportunity to inflict pain and suffering, which they do by projecting sickening rays of necrotic energy at whatever vulnerable targets present themselves. Medic's miseries avoid open conflict and tend to retreat when presented with vigorous opposition, relying on their flight and small size to escape into darkened hiding places.

Death Marks (5e rule)

I’ve been trying for a while to come up with a rule that makes getting knocked out in 5e combat riskier without increasing the burden on healers (as instant death at -Con hp or injuries at 0 hp would). Here’s my idea:

Each time you recover from going to 0 hit points, mark off a death saving throw with a big X (a death mark). That saving throw is already marked as a failure the next time you drop to 0 hit points. Therefore, if you have three death marks, dropping to 0 hit points is automatic death. Remove one death mark each time you finish a long rest.

With this rule, you can go to 0 hp once every day with no consequences, but any more than that and your character is at increasing risk of death.

DMWisdom from this point on.

This is an awesome idea! I feel like this could also allow the games to involve more combat in one rest. The creators said you should be able to fit 6 encounters into a long rest, but that seems a bit much to me. (Yeah, I know it’s encounters, not necessarily fights.)

Questions for you:  - What happens upon “death”? Do you get xdy hit points back? Maybe one hit die, expending it?  - Can a healer get there and heal the felled character, thus allowing the player to not expend a death save? Perhaps if the healer gets there before the player’s next round?

Have at it with the constructive criticism, followers!

In between new content, I plan to go back and make changes to some of my older homebrew: starting with College of Mirrors!

I was already very happy with this subclass, but I felt like the 3rd level feature needed some tinkering to make it easier to understand. In addition, the invisibility was toned down a bit.

Accents 101

So if you’re a dm like me, you probably want to be relatively skilled in some typical fantasy accents for your game to make things feel that much more real. So i’ve decided to throw together a little master post of “how to” videos on some various accents. This is mostly for my own reference, but if you’d like to save this for yourself too, go right ahead. Feel free to add on to this, as well!
