physically i’m here. mentally i’m in the hollowed out trunk of an ancient oak. i do not move, moss grows over me and i become a part of the forest. animals walk past me without fear, for i am not a threat. i photosynthesize and live as one with nature. we, the forest, are at peace.
Fucking soft over techno's chat being this ominous ass force that wants nothing but blood but they took one good look at tommy and went
I think I managed to figure it out. I'll be posting it later if anybody would like to take a look/judge it!
It's a frankenstein inspired artificer subclass built around upgrading and perfecting your own little undead companion
Hey, I'm looking for someone with experience using dndbeyonds homebrew system to whip up a subclass for me from a template I have? I'm willing to pay within reason if that helps
The stigma of self-inserts is so harmful to the creative process. Relax. Admit it. Everything you make is derivative of yourself, always, no exceptions. You can turn the mirror into tinier and tinier shards or you can make it as big as you want to reflect as much as you want. At the end of the day it's always going to show you inside of it. Pretending otherwise is stupid.
The Mycotyrant is a really interesting and timely antagonist right after the Phyrexian arc because it shows, with contrast, what Phyrexia is not.
As much as Norn tries to present herself as the head of a unified hivemind, Phyrexia is clearly a fragmented people with individuals who think, hope, and have conflicting goals for the future. There are Phyrexian rebels, like Urabrask, who actively oppose the unification of their people because they know exactly who would be suppressed in the process.
The Mycotyrant just... is. It's the single mind behind a vast mycorrhizal network, and unlike Norn or other praetors I don't get the sense that it particularly wants political leverage or control or any of that. Despite its name, its villainy is a lot less about actual tyranny than Phyrexian villainy is, largely because its assimilation is much more absolute. While Phyrexia is more like cognitohazard-assisted cult indoctrination, the Mycotyrant reanimates corpses and speaks through them. There aren't really people left to dominate. Its goal is just... to grow.
Many Phyrexians claim that their conquest is a natural consequence of Phyrexia dividing and growing, but it really isn't--it does not come naturally to every individual. They must be beaten into line to maintain the facade.
Phyrexia is a controlling, colonialist state that bends the ideologies and goals of its people toward conquest, under pain of disassembly. The Mycotyrant is a motivationally and methodically much simpler force of (un)nature.

I’m rewatching the L’Manburg revolution vods and losing my shit over how this is a FUCKING MINECRAFT ROLEPLAY
“You can describe what makes a man strong, but you can’t describe what makes a man wise.”
“You know what we have that they don’t have? We have camaraderie. We have a righteous cause. We have an area to defend. Do you know what he’s driven by? Greed. Do you know what we’re driven by? The defense of our land.”
“Until the day we stop breathing, that is when L’Manburg has fallen. He can destroy the walls. He can slaughter our friends, our family. But until the day we stop breathing, and the moment we let go of that dream we have of a self-emancipated nation, that is when he has won. Men, are you going to let go of that dream?”
“Independence, or death. If we get no revolution, then we want nothing.”
There is an entire scene where Wilbur has Fundy read “Ozymandias” and foreshadows the entire L’Manburg arc???
i’m not actually reading any of the posts but there’s no way anyone actually thinks king kong is cooler than godzilla lmfao absolutely all just pretending
