Simpler Wild Magic Surge
Here's a quick, revised version of the Wild Magic Sorcerer's Wild Magic Surge feature, basically acting as an abbreviated variant of the original feature. Also shout-out to Simon Aumar!
Starting when you choose this origin at 1st level, your spellcasting can unleash surges of untamed magic. Immediately after you cast a sorcerer spell of 1st level or higher, the DM can have you roll a d6. If you roll a 1, roll on the Wild Magic Surge table to create a random magical effect.
A Wild Magic Surge can happen once per turn. If a Wild Magic effect is a spell, it's too wild to be affected by Metamagic. If it normally requires concentration, it doesn't require concentration in this case; the spell lasts for its full duration.
Wild Magic Surge table
1 - You turn into a potted plant until the start of your next turn. While a plant, you are incapacitated and have vulnerability to all damage. If you drop to 0 hit points, your pot breaks, and your form reverts. 2 - You cast magic missile as a 5th-level spell. 3 - You cast confusion centered on yourself. 4 - You cast grease centered on yourself. 5 - You teleport up to 60 feet to an unoccupied space of your choice that you can see. 6 - Maximize the damage of the next damaging spell you cast within the next minute. 7 - You regain all expended sorcery points. 8 - A random creature within 60 feet of you becomes poisoned for 1d4 hours. 9 - Up to three creatures you choose within 30 feet of you take 4d10 lightning damage. 10 - You can’t speak for the next minute. Whenever you try, pink bubbles float out of your mouth. 11 - You gain resistance to all damage for the next minute. 12 - For the next minute, you can see any invisible creature if you have line of sight to it. 13 - Roll a d10. Your height changes by a number of inches equal to the roll. If the roll is odd, you shrink. If the roll is even, you grow. 14 - A spectral shield hovers near you for the next minute, granting you a +2 bonus to AC and immunity to magic missile. 15 - Your size increases by one size category for the next minute. 16 - You glow with bright light in a 30-foot radius for the next minute. Any creature that ends its turn within 5 feet of you is blinded until the end of its next turn. 17 - You cast fog cloud centered on yourself. 18 - You cast fly on a random creature within 60 feet of you. 19 - You become invisible for the next minute. During that time, other creatures can’t hear you. The invisibility ends if you attack or cast a spell. 20 - You regain your lowest-level expended spell slot.
General note: I trimmed the fat, reduced the number of bad options, and made it more frequent. Simple as that.

Chimera’s Curse - Wild Magic Forms for Druids
Hey I made this “Wild Shape Wild Surge” table for my Druid who was reincarnated Frankenstien-Style in a Curse of Strahd campaign. Thought I’d share it with anypne who wants to use it in their game!
When Wildshaping into an animal, the differing pieces of your body don’t always communicate with one another in the right way. Roll a D20. On a 1, something about your transformation went wrong. Roll a D10 and consult the table below. While normally you can drop your wild shape as a bonus action, if transformed in this way you must expend an entire action to change back to your normal form (or until the creature you turned into drops to 0). 1- Aquarium Fish - You turn into a combination of a gold fish, beta fish, and trout, you have a swim speed of 20 ft, cannot breath air, and an AC of 8 and can only hold your breath for 2 rounds 2- A Pretty Ugly Bird- You turn into a starry owl, but with the head of a bat. You have the stats of a bat but a flying speed of 60ft 3- Death Dog - Your body remembers its death and turns into a Death Dog, You are at odds with what has happened to you and it seems to have manifested physically. While you can control your body and one of your heads, your other head sees you as an enemy. At the end of each turn, roll a dexterity save (DC12), On a fail, your other head has landed a painful bite to your face (and you take the full damage of a bite attack) 4-Bear Shark!!! - You turn, mostly, into a bear but have the head of a shark. You have all the game stats of a bear but cannot breath on land, you can hold your breath on land for 5 turns before dying. 5- Just a Shrub - Use the Awakened Shrub stats. 6- Swarm of Rodents - Your body separates in transformation and you turn into a Swarm of Rodents (use swarm of rats stats but it appears to be a combination of rats, weasels, mice, and rabbits) 7- Giant Octopus? - You turn into a giant octopus and use the Giant Octopus Stats. But something went horribly wrong, instead of tentacles, your eight arms are a terrifying mix of human limbs, furry paws, bird talons, and snake heads. Your tentacle attack is at disadvantage and you cannot use it to grapple. 8- Snake Horse- You use the War Horse stats but your mane and tail are made out of snakes. They hate you. You take 5 points of piercing damage automatically at the end of each of your turns. Anyone who enters 5 feet of your space must make a Dexterity saving through against your spell casting modifier or take 1d4 piercing damage from the snakes. 9- Blink Cat- You turn into a horrifying hairless cat. You have the blink dog stats, you don’t have its keen smell, and your bite attack counts instead as a claw attack (slashing damage) 10- Chimera - you embrace a new truth about you and transform into a Chimera and use the Chimera stats.
Let me know if it works!

I'm on second BG3 playthrough and I'm playing a Sorcerer. So far, these have been my favorite Wild Magic Surge moments in combat. The first one turned my party and several enemies into cats and dogs. The second shrank or enlarged my party.

I'm prepping for a campaign that I might gm at some point, and it involves wild magic, but I have issue with how combat-focused the standard wild magic table is, so I'm working on making my own.
Making a table of 100 relatively unique magical effects that all have an impact but don't take over the character or the campaign is hard as hell, so I was wondering if you have any advice related to how the d10,000 chart got generated.
I have a friend, and some years back he helped a friend fill out a d10,000 wild magic surge table. My friend still has a copy of that initial draft on his computer.
My advice? Have friends, or at least internet strangers, help spitball ideas.
Notably, the table we use has things like "target grows 1d4 lbs of feathers", "caster sneezes violently in the presence of undead", and "everything within 50' of the caster is invisible when viewed from below", but also things like "the nearest river turns to blood", "half the planet disappears, the other half is unaffected", and whatever roll spawned the four mile long tarrasque broodmother. Some of it is RP based, one of our PCs can't respond if someone calls her by name, one day that's going to get her killed. Our d10,000 table works best when you're equally looking forwards to a dumpster fire as much as you're looking forwards to a good story.
Or you can go steal from the Net Libram

Anymore goofy bloopers from failed rolls from either play through? Such as getting killed by Astarion when he first drinks your blood?
Unfortunately (or fortunately for me), Durge practically killed it with his skill checks. But I did have blooper moments because I made the murder lizard a wild magic sorcerer.
Lots of imp summons. Always sicked shovel on them.
Felt bad for killing Wyll's cambion summon.
#bg3#baldur's gate 3#bg3 spoilers#durge#the dark urge#nothing too wild but the surges amused me#Side Story: I thought it'd be fun changing the color of Durge's scales every morning like a wild magic side effect#like a mood ring (because so many pretty scales)#but every time I tried changing his scales with the magic mirror; It forced him to revert back to his original 'the dark urge' name#thought it fitting; gave him a different silly name like 'that darn urge' every morning to emphasize resisting his old name and life#didn't know that it was a bug until they patched it up!

I think I relate so much to wild magic sorcerers because I have tics. And a surge and a tic are kind of similar in that they're both involuntary, they're loud, they're attention-grabbing and usually socially unacceptable. And there's really no way to prevent either of them or control when they happen, you just kind of have to apologise, laugh it off as best you can and hope the people around you are understanding about it.
Anyway, if we wanted to make them more similar, my proposal would be that sorcerers should set each other off. Because one thing about tics is that seeing someone else tic is like being hit with a reflex hammer. If you have a bunch of people who tic in the same room, one person ticcing will usually set off everyone else. And I think surges should work the same way, one person surging should start a chain reaction.
#elijah ramblings#sorcerers#wild magic surges as tics#look sometimes you've just gotta project your disability onto fantasy characters

Someone asked if Cassandra has relatives and we know she does have two siblings, which means she had at least one parent.
The primary gods killing their father is quite literally the oldest trope.
So something along the lines of Sol et al. trapping a violent, disturbing parent in Cassandra and now it's being released?

palette 18 navy for dani rwd
Dani!! I want to be like "this was surprisingly fun" but i said that about the last one so i feel like i just keep consistently underestimating how much i like this challenge until i'm finishing up a drawing lol. Surprise, making cool art is fun!!
I love Blue Dani 💙
When I went to look up this palette, for a second I thought that the label was attached to the one right below it (#22, Winter in the Dark) which also looked like it would be cool for Dani! So when I finished this I made a copy and recolored it with that one just to see what it would look like. This one's a bit less clean because I didn't fix the occasional artifact at the edges of the fill tool, but here's a bonus funky purplish Dani:
(I'm making some fun & low stakes drawings from this palette challenge! Feel free to send me a palette + a character or idea in my ask box! 💜)
