User:SwankyPants

Hello there! Welcome to my slightly less barren user page.

uhhhhhhhh

My first, and currently only system that I'm familiar with is 5e, and I probably started around May 2019. A little while after, I decided to start making homebrew, and about a year later I had become less of a coward and actually made an account here.

What am I good at?

That's a very bad question. As you can probably see, a majority of my submissions have been spells and magic items, mostly because those are smaller projects that I can complete within a day or two.

While I haven't posted any classes here, I've got a good few in the (kinda)works, so I have a decent idea what I'm doing there. Again, that's mostly to do with cowardice.

Honestly I just felt like filling out this page more because I've actually started making things more. So here we are.

Also I'm the same SwankyPants on the discord server.

Projects in the Works

• The Thri-Manipulus race, a wacky group of genetically engineered super soldier bug people.
• Batheron's Heel setting. Essentially monster hunter but DnD. The Thri-Manipulus, a few magic items, and hopefully dozens of creatures are a part of this.
• Uncountable amounts of magic items.

The Backburner

My attention span ain't too hot, so sometimes projects fall apart. Here's where they go. If I'm unlikely to keep working on it, I'll post a link here to the unfinished documents. Do what you will with them.

• A Manakete (5e Class) variant. This page here wasn't very good, but my changes were so sweeping and widespread I couldn't implement them there. Actually my first class, and somehow finished(???) but I don't really want to post it nor go through the effort to make it less hyperfocused on combat. This one could, in all honestly, be ripped straight from the document and posted, but I'm not really in support of doing so in it's current state. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1gbN66CUppRUMUNUdl1tYETYGFQxxy7GmD7NV-kHiphw/edit?usp=sharing
• Another class, titled Shared Soul. Back when the discord server was talking about all those goddamn Summoner variants, I decided to make my own summoner, with less issues. Took a lot of design cues from the custom stand user pages, with the whole specializations or whatever, I haven't looked at either the design document or the class document in a while. Actually looking at the document, I realize there's nothing but the class table. Oops. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1Jr5lA4iev_OO7Dy5XmCgf-rtcgnO_We40Xpo6UOZHqs/edit?usp=sharing
• Wowie, a third class, this one called the Channeler. A half martial, centered around techniques which used your hitdie. A really promising idea I just kinda fell out of love with. Making all the techniques and other options for anything tends to take a lot out of me, and this was all options. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1-3NxuVzk9r_ilr3nv5sO1kurKNhvQwQCW-Ukg8afN08/edit?usp=sharing
• A sci-fi setting called The Trion. It was a pipedream from the minute I started thinking about it, and with Batheron's Heel existing, odds are it won't see the light of day in years. A shame, really.
• A sentient magical item race. Kinda based on Wizzro(hyrule warriors) and Fi(skyward sword), where they have an alternate form that does things. Almost done, don't much feel like finishing it. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1HOSLViiXt5qFRzu72fTk-J2Yn9gnhCSwCh1y-9Pavwo/edit?usp=drivesdk

Creations

Races, Classes, and Subclasses

Not numerous enough to warrant seperate sections.

Gun Domain (5e Subclass) No idea where that drive to make Gungeon stuff came from.

Thri-Manipulus (5e Race) Bug super soldiers.

RUINER (5e Subclass) Another idea. I guess playing games makes me want to turn parts of it into homebrew.

Necron (5e Race) Initially I figured these dudes were way too ridiculous to make a race, but then I thought about it more, and then realized that someone else might do it, and do a much worse job balancing it.

Creator Soul (5e Class) My most recent class idea, somehow the first one I put into an actual page. Wild.

Creatures

Plenty of these though.

Wobzrem (5e Creature) Pulse Demon. Hehe.

Precog Frog (5e Creature) The entire reason Batheron's Heel exists in the first place.

Theron Enslavers (5e Creature) Tsathagguan idols.

Repugnant Impalers (5e Creature) Covid actually helped rhinos apparently. So...

Sharpened Slaughterfly (5e Creature) Wacky bugs.

Garold's Glandthrower (5e Creature) A weird one, even by my standards.

Pyrestone Mutant (5e Creature) Conquistadors aren't the smartest.

Mirrorwyrm (5e Creature) Still not the smartest.

Dun Rhashuul (5e Creature) Personally, this is one of my favorites. Went from "hey what if i make a creature with low attack bonus but a clause that amps it up" and "what scares early humans", turned into this beautiful mess.

Horrid Chimera (5e Creature) Actually one of my first ideas for BH, a sorta mishmash of creatures with variable attacks. Sorta based on possessed CSMs.

Sanctuary Guardian (5e Creature) A sign of things to come.

The Waking God (5e Creature) Thought this would come a lot later. Guess not.

Magic Weapons

Seperate to other items, too many.

Shotgun Shell (5e Equipment) Didn't notice this was my first. Huh.

Batheron's Scourge (5e Equipment) Yes, the rest recharges are on purpose.

Axe of the Hoardsmen (5e Equipment) An idea.

Soul Chain (5e Equipment) We need more magic flails.

Jarenhäg, the Killing Light (5e Equipment) I wanted to make a regular cursed items, but I guess the giants have nukes now.

Paradox Ends (5e Equipment) Thanks, anomalous items.

The Bulwark (5e Equipment) An idea I had in two parts...

The Fracture (5e Equipment) ...both pretty similar.

Wondrous Items

Plenty of these, too. MMEaR gets to be here too, because that's all wondrous items.

PMPU (5e Equipment) Arcane artillery, baybee.

Cerg's Glorious Right Hook (5e Equipment) Cerg was my first ever DnD character, and he's still in play. Yet to make this, though. Soon.

Marvelous Magitech Enhancements and Replacements (5e Sourcebook) 6 items added. Figured there wasn't enough unique prosthetic, so I set out to fill that hole.

The Sentinel's Hatred (5e Equipment) Also Cerg, or at least where I see Cerg ending up. Probably.

Rune Scarred Bones (5e Equipment) Worked on Undead Armament, figured there wasn't enough racial magic items.

Artifact of Glass (5e Equipment) Stupid, real stupid.

Confused Binoculars (5e Equipment) Narry but a goof.

Other Magic Knicknacks

Ain't a weapon, ain't wondrous, so it goes here.

Futuresight (5e Equipment) Frog drugs!

Sharpened Chitin Armor (5e Equipment) Knife bugs for armor. Struggled to come up with what to give this thing, so I did this.

Mirror Scale (5e Equipment) Shiny lizard for armor.

Envies Rest, Martyr's Death (5e Equipment) Potentially broken. Potentially.

Karsus’ Dream (5e Equipment) Almost made a wizard subclass around this idea.

Spells

My first character was a wizard. This is possibly unrelated.

Cerg's Icy Gambit (5e Spell) Not my first spell, but the first one I posted here. This idea was brewing for a long time before.

Raddik's Plasmatic Tear (5e Spell) Believe this one is even older than the one above. Weird.

Laborer's Bane (5e Spell) Ever played a Lego game?

Cerg's Fortification Fortification (5e Spell) Dorn.

Boreale's Deep Strike (5e Spell) The Codex Astartes names this maneuver...

Goldweaver's Ray (5e Spell) BRRRRRRRRRRRRRTTTtttt at least at first. A little easier to do less attacks.

Other

Honor Guard (5e Feat) Mutation! OOOoooOOooooOO!

Level Adjustment (5e Variant Rule) After making this page, I immediately feared that I would be the cause of masses of unbalanced races using this rule as a justification. Here’s hoping that doesn’t happen.

Contributions

Races, Classes, and Subclasses

Oh hey, I've done a few of these.

Bullet-Kin, Serious Edition (5e Race) Mmyup.

Lead Face (5e Race) Oh wow, more gun related things.

Wither Skeleton (5e Race) Polished some traits and fluffed it out. Pretty mediocre job if you ask me but not a whole lot to work with.

Space Marine (5e Race) Basically rewrote the whole thing from the ground up. Well, at the point of writing I haven't, but I also forget sometimes so I'm putting here in advance.

Creatures

nada.

Magic Weapons

nope.

Wondrous Items

no way.

Other Magic Knicknacks

zilch.

Spells

Helped with a few.

Acquire Attendant (5e Spell) Added the statblock, might've made it more confusing.

Nathaniel's Undead Army (5e Spell) Less confusing, potentially more broken. Dunno.

Other

Undead Armament (5e Feat) Forgot to add this for a while. Basically just rewrote the whole thing in an attempt to make it less confusing. The whole reason rune-scarred bones exists.
