Kaleidossbow is awesome, though I'd add one more so it's a d6. (d5s are possible to do... But better stick to something normal IMO)
Redirect is also very cool, though slightly overpowered (takes a 5th level, can cast any 5th level spell and counter it). I'd make it 3rd level or lower automatically, and then 4th or higher you make the check. So it's higher level than counterspell, but also redirects it. Currently is very powerful and just plain better than up-casting counterspell.

Hmm. This is good advice. (I also didn’t realize there were only five options for Kaleidossbow. The number was fluctuating as I made it)
Hidden in the depths of the Dungeon of the Crimson Sky Cult, there sits a well of dark red liquid. If one does not take heed or cannot read the warnings written on the well, they may mistake it for a well of elixir of health. But it holds a fateful curse. One adventurer, a Paladin by the name of Eljhara Randak, happened on the well while suffering from a drow curse. He partook of the elixir, and was transformed into a ruthless and powerful Oathbreaker. His allies slew him and destroyed the well, for such a terror could not be allowed to remain, but little did they know that a bottle of the elixir had been hidden by Eljhara before they had arrived. Years later, Eljhara was resurrected under the command of the sorcerer Razzix Elonias, who utilized Eljhara and the bottle to take control of the continent of Eturnaem. The bottle was used to create an honor guard of deadly evil warriors.
This isn't actually a signature, just something I copy and paste onto the bottom of all my posts. Or is it? Yep, it is. Or is it..? I’m a hobbit, and the master cranial imploder of the "Oops, I Accidently Destroyed Someone's Brain" cult. Extended sig. I'm actually in Limbo, it says I'm in Mechanus because that's where I get my WiFi from. Please don't tell the modrons, they're still angry from the 'Spawning Stone' fiasco. No connection to Dragonslayer8 other than knowing them in real life.
Generally, their CR seems to be too high though, especially for the scout, which deals considerably less damage than the glorybringer, but has a higher CR. Maybe the scout is actually missing a "sneak attack" trait that would bring its damage up?
I would give the flame blade the Green-Flame Blade cantrip, which works with its Warcaster feat for attacks of opportunity as long as it does not target another creature with the splash damage. Also, I am not sure if its Blood Magic really is a good idea, as it seems like a recipe for TPKs due to its wording forcing the affected creature to deal the most damage possible - whereas at least from my experience when my character was dominated and forced to attack a party member I always could limit the damage somewhat by playing suboptimally, not using my best weapon and not using limited resources to boost my damage output.
The shield-bearer could maybe have a shield charge abilitiy similar to a Fire Giant Dreadnought, but weaker of course.

Thanks for the feedback! All of those are great insights! (Although I don’t think I’ll do that last one.)
Heyo! Seems as good a time to revive my old thread as any! Anyhow it's been 3 years, which means I ought to have improved some! Here's just some of the stuff I've made.
Been some time! I’d like to take this opportunity to let anyone who sees this know that TheBesnatched is my alt. Meanwhile, take a look!

The Curse of the Bloodstained
Hidden in the depths of the Dungeon of the Crimson Sky Cult, there sits a well of dark red liquid. If one does not take heed or cannot read the warnings written on the well, they may mistake it for a well of elixir of health. But it holds a fateful curse. One adventurer, a Paladin by the name of Eljhara Randak, happened on the well while suffering from a drow curse.

Years later, Eljhara was resurrected under the command of the sorcerer Razzix Elonias, who utilized Eljhara and the bottle to take control of the continent of Eturnaem. The bottle was used to create an honor guard of deadly evil warriors.
The homebrew is detailed below.
Elixir of the Bloodstained (Magic Item)
Flame Blade of the Bloodstained Sword (Monster)
Glorybringer of the Bloodstained Sword (Monster)

P.S. I accidentally made the Bloodstained ability on the monsters a Wisdom save. It should be Charisma.
