Master post : Arcane but DnD

First things first: this is for FUN. If you have any ideas or suggestions I would love to hear them just don't be rude.

Now that that's out of the way here is where you can find everything:

[i-have-ideas-they-go-here]

hello stranger, your DND ideas are neat. do you think Viktor would undergo a full class swap between acts (like artificer to warlock or just full either or wizard or something)? and what class would you make Jayce? tangentially just. classes for everyone? any home brewed subclasses? are you actually making these characters? do you want or need homebrew? I am but an enthusiastic stranger on the internet who likes DND, arcane, and has too much time on their hands.

Hi! 👋

Thank you for all of the questions!

Viktor and Class swap:

I don't see him going full class swap. If this was another character I could see it happening but because he has shown to hold on to certain aspects of himself even when he became the Machine Herald

wanting to help people, his feelings about Jayce, Jayce's blanket, the corrupted gear, his cane turned staff, his leg brace becoming a gold design in his Godform.

So with keeping those ideas of his character I think multi-classing and changing the flare/flavor of some class features would be the best option for him.

Classes:

By now everyone's first three level should be posted and clearly I made Jayce's beginning class Artificer (I made a lot of them start with Artificer). I do see him and a lot of the others multi-classing.

Home brewing:

I plan keep with the official classes and subclasses for now. However if someone is interested is seeing other ways these characters can be build or has their own build/ home brew class and subclass for them I would love for you to send them in so I can see them.

Making the characters:

I am actually making these characters, I am using DnD Beyond. Where I play there are a lot of One-Shots and Adventure League games being run and I may get the chance to play them. Once I post everything I plan to post the finial complete character sheets here.

Arcane DnD: Mel

S1 Act 1

Level: 3

Class: Rogue

Subclass: Mastermind:

A Mastermind Rogue focus is on people and on the influence and secrets they have. Many spies, courtiers, and schemers follow this archetype, leading lives of intrigue. Words are your weapons as often as knives or poison, and secrets and favors are some of your favorite treasures.

Expertise:

At the start, you can double your skill bonus for two skills or one skill and your thieves' tools, making you exceptionally skilled in those areas. At a higher level, you can apply this bonus to two more skills or tools.

Deception

Persuasion

Sneak Attack:

You’re great at catching enemies off-guard. If you attack someone when they’re distracted, you deal extra damage (starting at 1d6). This works if you either have an advantage on the attack or if one of their allies is within 5 feet of them. As you grow stronger, the damage increases.

Thieves’ Cant:

You know a secret language used by thieves, hidden in normal conversations. Other thieves can understand it, but regular people cannot. It also includes symbols to mark areas as safe, dangerous, or containing loot.

Cunning Action:

At level 2, you gain the ability to act fast in combat. You can take an extra action to move quickly (Dash), avoid danger (Disengage), or hide. You can also give yourself an edge in combat by focusing on a single attack, but doing so limits your movement.

Steady Aim:

As a bonus action, you give yourself advantage on your next attack roll on the current turn. You can use this bonus action only if you haven’t moved during this turn, and after you use the bonus action, your speed is 0 until the end of the current turn.

Master of Intrigue:

At level 3, you become skilled in disguise, forgery, and a game set of your choice. You can also learn two new languages. You’re able to mimic someone’s speech and accent perfectly after hearing them talk for a minute, making it easier to blend in as one of their own.

Dragonchess set

Draconic

Elvish

Master of Tactics:

Starting at level 3, you can use your quick thinking to help an ally in combat as a bonus action. You don’t even need to be right next to the enemy; as long as they can see or hear you, your ally gains an advantage when attacking them.

Proficiencies:

    Weapons: Simple weapons, hand crossbows, longswords, rapiers, shortswords

Arcane DnD: Ekko

S1 Act 1

Level: 3

Class: Artificer

Subclass: Alchemist:

An Alchemist is a master of blending magical ingredients to create powerful effects, from healing and revitalizing life to draining it away. As the oldest artificer tradition, alchemy has been cherished for its versatility, serving as a vital tool in both times of conflict and peace.

Magical Tinkering:

At 1st LV you can use tools (like lockpicking or crafting tools) to give ordinary objects magical properties. For example:

    Light: The object can glow like a flashlight.

    Message: If someone touches the object, it plays a short 6-second message you recorded.

     Smell or Sound: The object can constantly give off a smell (like flowers or smoke) or a sound (like birds or waves).

    Picture or Text: You can put an image or up to 25 words on it, like a magical sticky note.

The maximum number of objects you can affect with this feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to make more, the oldest magical property disappears.

Spellcasting:

As an Artificer, you're a type of magical inventor. Instead of casting spells in a traditional way (like waving your hands or reciting a spell), you channel magic through tools or gadgets. To outsiders, it might look like you're using clever inventions or simple objects to create magical effects.

    Tools Required

        To use your magic, you need tools like lockpicking gear or crafting tools. These act as your "spell focus," meaning you need them in hand to cast your spells. You have to be skilled with these tools to use them for magic. Later, you can even use magical items you've created as a focus for your spells.

    Cantrips (Basic Magic):

        At the start, you know two simple magical tricks, called cantrips, from the Artificer spell list. As you level up, you learn more cantrips.

    Prepared Spells:

        You have a set number of spell slots (basically, a limited number of times you can cast stronger spells). At the start of each day, you decide which spells you’re going to prepare by spending a little time tinkering with your tools. You can prepare a number of spells based on your Intelligence and your level.

    Artificer Magic:

        When you prepare or cast spells, it's as if you're building or activating cool magical gadgets. These details don't affect the spells themselves-they're just a fun way to make magic feel unique to the character.

    Spellcasting Ability (INT):

        Your ability to cast spells depends on your Intelligence. It affects how hard your spells are to resist (saving throw difficulty) and how accurate they are (attack rolls).

            Spell save DC (hard to resist): 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence mod = 13

            Spell attack rolls (accuracy): your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence mod = +5

    Ritual Casting:

        Some spells can be cast as rituals, meaning they take a little longer but don’t use up a spell slot. If you have a ritual spell prepared, you can perform it this way without using up your magic reserves.

Infuse Item:

At level 2, Artificers can create temporary magical items by imbuing ordinary objects with magic. Think of these as "prototypes" of real magic items-temporary, but very useful. You can only make a few magical items at a time, and the magic fades if you stop knowing how to make that specific item.

Artificer Infusions:

Infusions are magical upgrades you can add to regular objects, temporarily transforming them into magic items. Each infusion specifies the type of item it works on (like a weapon or tool) and whether it needs to be "attuned" (a special bond with the user).

Some infusions can only be learned at higher levels. You can't learn these until you meet the minimum level required. Unless stated otherwise, you can only learn an infusion once.

    Infusions Chosen:

        Enhanced Weapon:

            This infusion improves a weapon, making it better in combat.

            The weapon gets a +1 bonus to attack rolls (how well it hits) and damage rolls (how much damage it does).

            When you reach level 10 as an Artificer, the bonus increases to +2.

        Enhanced Defense:

            While using this armor or shield, the wearer gains a +1 bonus to Armor Class. At level 10, the bonus increases to +2.

        Enhanced Arcane Focus:

            This item gives a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls and allows the wielder to ignore half cover when casting spells. At level 10, the bonus increases to +2.

        Returning Weapon:

            This infusion is perfect for throwing weapons like daggers or axes. The weapon gets a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls.

            After you throw it, the weapon immediately comes back to your hand, so you don’t have to go pick it up.

The Right Tool for the Job:

At 3rd level, you gain a handy ability to make whatever tools you need:

What You Can Do:

    Using your thieves' tools or artisan's tools, you can magically create a set of artisan's tools of your choice (like smith's tools or alchemist's supplies). The tools appear in an empty spot near you (within 5 feet).

How Long It Takes:

    It takes 1 hour of focused work to make the tools. You can do this while resting (like during a short rest).

Important Notes:

    The tools are nonmagical, meaning they work just like regular tools. They disappear if you use this ability again to create a new set of tools.

Tool Proficiency: Alchemist's supplies

Alchemist Spells:

3rd spells: healing word, ray of sickness

Experimental Elixir:

After a long rest, you can magically create an experimental elixir in an empty flask you touch. The effect of the elixir is determined by rolling on the Experimental Elixir table, and it activates when someone drinks it. A creature can drink the elixir or give it to an unconscious creature as an action.

You can also make additional elixirs by using a 1st-level or higher spell slot. When you do, you create the elixir in a flask as an action and choose its effect from the table. To create an elixir, you need to have alchemist's supplies on hand, and all elixirs vanish if they're not used before your next long rest.

    Experimental Elixir Effects:

        1. Healing: Restores 2d4 + your Intelligence modifier hit points.

        2. Swiftness: Increases walking speed by 10 feet for 1 hour.

        3. Resilience: Grants a +1 bonus to AC for 10 minutes.

        4. Boldness: Adds a d4 to all attack rolls and saving throws for 1 minute.

        5. Flight: Grants a flying speed of 10 feet for 10 minutes.

        6. Transformation: Allows the drinker to transform their body (similar to the alter self spell) for 10 minutes.

Proficiencies:

    Armor: Light armor, medium armor, shields

    Weapons: Simple weapons

    Tools: Thieves' tools, tinker's tools, Jeweler’s Tools

    Saving Throws: CON, INT

    Skills: Perception, Sleight of Hand

Stats:

STR: 9 (-1)

DEX: 15 (+2)

CON: 14 (+2)

INT: 17 (+3)

    Infusions Chosen:

        Homunculus Servant:

            This infusion lets you create a tiny magical helper called a homunculus. You choose what it looks like—maybe a tiny mechanical bird, a living vial with wings, or a moving cauldron.

            The homunculus is loyal to you and your allies and follows your orders. It acts right after your turn in combat. On its own, it will only dodge attacks, but if you use a bonus action to command it, it can take other actions, like attacking or helping.

            You can “heal” it by casting the mending spell, and if it "dies," its heart (the item you infused) remains behind.

        Enhanced Arcane Focus:

            This item gives a +1 bonus to spell attack rolls and allows the wielder to ignore half cover when casting spells. At level 10, the bonus increases to +2.

        Mind Sharper:

            If a creature fails a Constitution saving throw to keep concentration on a spell, it can use its reaction to succeed instead, but this uses one of the item's charges.

        Replicate Magic Item:

            This infusion lets you copy specific magic items, turning an ordinary object into something special. You pick the item you want to replicate from a table of choices (based on your level) or from a list of common magic items.

            Each replicated item has its own rules, including whether it needs attunement and what kind of object you need to start with. Examples of items you can replicate include useful tools and weapons, but you can’t replicate consumable items like potions or scrolls.

            Item chosen: Wand of Magic Detection

At 3rd level, your tinkering has borne you a companion, called a steel defender. It’s friendly to you and your companions, and it obeys your commands.

You decide how it looks (e.g., a robotic dog, bird, or humanoid), and you can choose whether it has two or four legs.

        Initiative: It acts right after your turn in combat.

        Default Action: It defends itself by taking the Dodge action unless you use a bonus action to command it to attack or do something else.

    Healing and Repair:

Arcane but DnD: Caitlyn

S1 Act 1

Level: 3

Class: Ranger

Subclass: Hunter

Hunter rangers are skilled warriors and trackers who specialize in protecting civilization from dangerous creatures like dragons, orcs, and giants. They use their knowledge of the wilderness and fighting techniques to stay one step ahead of their enemies.

Hunter’s Prey:

Colossus Slayer: You hit harder against enemies that are already injured. Once per turn, if an enemy isn’t at full health, your attack deals extra damage (a bit like landing a hit on a weak spot).

Favored Enemy (Specialized Expertise in Fighting Specific Creatures):

You can pick certain types of creatures that you’re especially good at hunting and tracking. For example, you might focus on dragons, undead, or orcs.

    Humans

Against your chosen enemies, you’re better at tracking them and remembering information about them.

You also get to learn their language (if they have one), which can help in negotiating or understanding their plans.

    Draconic

Natural Explore (Master of Surviving in Certain Environments):

You’re an expert at navigating and surviving in one specific type of environment, such as forests, mountains, or swamps.

    Swamp

While traveling in your favored terrain, you gain special benefits, like:

Not getting slowed down by rough terrain (like thick mud or dense bushes).

Knowing your way around easily (you can’t get lost unless magic is involved).

Staying alert to dangers even while doing other tasks like foraging.

Finding twice as much food when hunting or gathering.

Learning details about creatures you’re tracking, such as their numbers, size, and how long ago they passed by.

You can choose additional terrains to specialize in as you grow stronger.

Fighting Style:

Archery: You gain a +2 bonus to attack rolls you make with ranged weapons.

Primeval Awareness (Sense Nearby Monsters):

Starting at level 3, you can focus your senses to detect if specific types of monsters are nearby, like dragons, undead, or demons.

This doesn’t tell you exactly where they are or how many there are, but it lets you know they’re in the area (like a monster radar).

You need to spend a spell slot to use this ability, and it lasts for a short time.

Spellcasting:

By 2nd level, Rangers gain the ability to cast spells that draw on the magic of nature, similar to druids.

Spell Slots

    You have a limited number of spell slots to cast your spells. The Ranger table shows how many slots you have at each level. To cast a spell, use a slot of the same level or higher. After a long rest, all your spell slots are restored.

Spells You Know

    At 2nd level, you know two 1st-level spells of your choice from the ranger spell list. As you level up, you learn more spells, as shown in the Spells Known column of the Ranger table.

    When you level up, you can swap out one of your known spells for another spell from the ranger spell list, as long as it matches your available spell slot levels.

Arcane DnD: Jinx

S1 Act 1

Level: 3

Class: Artificer

Subclass: Artilleriest

An Artillerist is someone who specializes in using magic to create explosions, shoot energy, and cause chaos on a battlefield. They’re like magical engineers, using their skills for destruction during war but sometimes turning their talents to help create peace afterward.

Magical Tinkering:

At 1st LV you can use tools (like lockpicking or crafting tools) to give ordinary objects magical properties. For example:

    Light: The object can glow like a flashlight.

    Message: If someone touches the object, it plays a short 6-second message you recorded.

    Smell or Sound: The object can constantly give off a smell (like flowers or smoke) or a sound (like birds or waves).

    Picture or Text: You can put an image or up to 25 words on it, like a magical sticky note.

The maximum number of objects you can affect with this feature at one time is equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of one object). If you try to make more, the oldest magical property disappears.

Spell casting:

As an Artificer, you’re a type of magical inventor. Instead of casting spells in a traditional way (like waving your hands or reciting a spell), you channel magic through tools or gadgets. To outsiders, it might look like you’re using clever inventions or simple objects to create magical effects.

    Tools Required

        To use your magic, you need tools like lockpicking gear or crafting tools. These act as your "spell focus," meaning you need them in hand to cast your spells. You have to be skilled with these tools to use them for magic. Later, you can even use magical items you've created as a focus for your spells.

    Cantrips (Basic Magic):

        At the start, you know two simple magical tricks, called cantrips, from the Artificer spell list. As you level up, you learn more cantrips.

    Prepared Spells:

        You have a set number of spell slots (basically, a limited number of times you can cast stronger spells). At the start of each day, you decide which spells you’re going to prepare by spending a little time tinkering with your tools. You can prepare a number of spells based on your Intelligence and your level.

    Artificer Magic:

        When you prepare or cast spells, it’s as if you’re building or activating cool magical gadgets. These details don’t affect the spells themselves—they’re just a fun way to make magic feel unique to the character.

    Spellcasting Ability (INT):

        Your ability to cast spells depends on your Intelligence. It affects how hard your spells are to resist (saving throw difficulty) and how accurate they are (attack rolls).

            Spell save DC: 8 + your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence mod = 13

            Spell attack rolls: your proficiency bonus + your Intelligence mod = +5

    Ritual Casting:

        Some spells can be cast as rituals, meaning they take a little longer but don’t use up a spell slot. If you have a ritual spell prepared, you can cast it this way without using up a spell slot.

Infuse Item:

At level 2, Artificers can create temporary magical items by imbuing ordinary objects with magic. Think of these as "prototypes" of real magic items—temporary, but very useful. You can only make a few magical items at a time, and the magic fades if you stop knowing how to make that specific item.

Artificer Infusions:

Infusions are magical upgrades you can add to regular objects, temporarily transforming them into magic items. Each infusion specifies the type of item it works on (like a weapon or tool) and whether it needs to be "attuned" (a special bond with the user).

Some infusions can only be learned at higher levels. You can't learn these until you meet the minimum level required. Unless stated otherwise, you can only learn an infusion once.

    Infusions Chosen:

        Homunculus Servant:

            This infusion lets you create a tiny magical helper called a homunculus. You choose what it looks like—maybe a tiny mechanical bird, a living vial with wings, or a moving cauldron.

The homunculus is loyal to you and your allies and follows your orders. It acts right after your turn in combat. On its own, it will only dodge attacks, but if you use a bonus action to command it, it can take other actions, like attacking or helping. You can "heal" it by casting the mending spell, and if it "dies," its heart (the item you infused) remains behind.

        Replicate Magic Item:

            This infusion lets you copy specific magic items, turning an ordinary object into something special. You pick the item you want to replicate from a table of choices (based on your level) or from a list of common magic items.

            Each replicated item has its own rules, including whether it needs attunement and what kind of object you need to start with. Examples of items you can replicate include useful tools and weapons, but you can’t replicate consumable items like potions or scrolls.

        Enhanced Weapon:

            This infusion improves a weapon, making it better in combat. The weapon gets a +1 bonus to attack rolls (how well it hits) and damage rolls (how much damage it does). The bonus increases once you reach certain level does.

        Returning Weapon:

            The weapon gets a +1 bonus to attack and damage rolls. After you throw it, the weapon immediately comes back to your hand, so you don’t have to go pick it up.

The Right Tool for the Job:

At 3rd level, you gain a handy ability to make whatever tools you need:

What You Can Do:

    Using your thieves' tools or artisan's tools, you can magically create a set of artisan's tools of your choice (like smith's tools or alchemist's supplies). The tools appear in an empty spot near you (within 5 feet).

How Long It Takes:

    It takes 1 hour of focused work to make the tools. You can do this while resting (like during a short rest).

Important Notes:

    The tools are nonmagical, meaning they work just like regular tools. They disappear if you use this ability again to create a new set of tools.

Tool Proficiency: woodcarver’s tools

Artillerist Spells:

3rd spells: shield, thunderwave

Eldritch Cannon:

You've learned how to create a magical cannon. Using woodcarver’s tools or smith’s tools, you can take an action to magically create a Small or Tiny eldritch cannon in an unoccupied space on a horizontal surface within 5 feet of you. A Small eldritch cannon occupies its space, and a Tiny one can be held in one hand.

Appearance: 

    You decide what it looks like (e.g., mechanical, magical, or other).

Durability:

    It’s a magical object, not a creature.

    Armor Class (AC): 18.

    Hit Points: 5 × your artificer level.

    Immunities: Can’t be hurt by poison or psychic damage.

    If it gets damaged, you can use the mending spell to heal it for 2d6 hit points.

    It disappears if reduced to 0 hit points or after 1 hour. You can also dismiss it early as an action.

Control the Cannon:

    Each turn, you can use a bonus action to:

        Activate the cannon’s ability (choose one type when you create it—see below). Move it up to 15 feet (if it has legs).

Eldritch Cannon Options:

    When you make the cannon, you choose one of these abilities:

        Force Ballista:

            Shoots a forceful blast at a target within 120 feet.

            Deals 2d8 force damage and pushes the target 5 feet away.

        Flamethrower:

            Shoots fire in a 15-foot cone.

            Deals 2d8 fire damage to all creatures in the area (save for half damage).

        Protector:

            Creates a magical shield in a 10-foot radius.

            Grants temporary hit points equal to 1d8 + your Intelligence modifier to you and allies in the area.

[i-have-ideas-they-go-here]

Arcane but make it Dungeons and Dragons

This is how I would build them and play them.

If you have any ideas on how you would do it, I would love to hear them

Ground Rules:

I tried to make explaining the classes I chose for each character as easy to understand as possible. I know a lot of people play/know about DnD but I also know people that don’t. And I want anyone who is interested in looking/ reading this to be able to understand

Show universe not Game univeres

It is Show Universe but with DnD rules, classes, and ideas

Keep everyone as close as possible as they would be in the show

Going to start with the main crew of characters: Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn, Jayce, Viktor, Ekko, Mel

2014 Rules

I haven't read the 2024 rules or played with them so I am not comfortable using them

Standard Array for Stats

15, 14, 13, 12, 10, 8

Race/Species

Keeping everyone human or variant human

or start human and then become a variant human (Ex: Jinx when she is infused with shimmer)

Automatic Feat

I am giving everyone a 1st level Feat

I am doing this because everyone is getting the same stats

Giving them a Feat would give everyone a difference that would support their character

How I will be posting the build information:
