@toolate Some good ideas in there, but a few problems as well.
Firstly, normal myconids aren't blind, so it would be a bit weird to make the player version break that trend.
Secondly, the complete inability to speak verbally is very harmful to non-spellcasting characters since they would be unable to access the telepathy that would be needed to communicate.
Finally, although fey ancestry makes sense in some campaign settings, the Myconid people are usually portrayed (as far as I am aware) as being from the Underdark, not the Feywild
All that being said, most of this criticism really only applies to officially published materials, meaning that everything I just said goes out the window if you plan on using this in a custom or modified campaign setting.
I get that this community is still new and nobody has probably thought of this yet, but if we are going to try and abandon Reddit (I know I am), then this is something we should probably try to figure out.
That's cool. I was just asking because I plan on doing some homebrew posts soon to help boost activity, and wanted to make sure that I post everything in the right place.
Have you ever had one of your D&D characters die? Was it because of roleplay choices or just bad dice luck? Did you enjoy making and playing a new character or did you find it difficult to be 'new to the party' or to separate player knowledge and character knowledge?...
I have only ever had one character death in my 5 to 6 years of playing. My character was a changeling sorcerer who was a minor god of magic who had been stripped of almost all divine power by a curse, bringing them down to level 5 (if I remember correctly. This was a year or more ago). We were trapped in a gladiatorial arena fighting a group of rust monsters when I got struck with a crit THROUGH DISADVANTAGE, knocking me unconscious. I then proceeded to roll poorly on my death saves, and down they went. I did manage to get my character back alive, but it cost them heavily and broke my streak.
OC Since the community has been a little inactive, I've decided it's time to do another homebrew post! This time: the Mirror-folk, a strange species known for their defiance of logic
Mirror-folk playable race...
OC As promised, It's time to share some homebrew! This time I will share my Myconid player race I made after half my group became obsessed with them.
Myconid playable race:...
Are there any plans to make a separate community for DnD Homebrew, or will that all be kept here for now?
