Me and my friend are doing a D&D campaign ran by ChatGPT. ChatGPT made a custom sub class for me. I am trying to put it as a homebrew on here, but I feel like I’m messing up. I’m looking for an experience person to help me. Make sure I am formatting this correctly
Here's a tip: don't. ChatGPT can't balance feature correctly so that subclass is unlikely to function properly. It also cannot do math so can't run combat correctly - it will just randomly decide when an enemy dies. It can't do logic so passing/failing saves will have nothing to do with a monster's statblock. So there is no point making character sheets for a ChatGPT-run game, the numbers don't matter because it cannot use them.
Please do not use ChatGPT for a D&D game! Unlike a person, who can come up with new ideas and react quickly to your actions, AI programs only know how to regurgitate stuff that they have scanned off of the internet. Your subclass isn't formatted correctly because chatgpt is pulling info from different classes, different editions, probably even some homebrew stuff on Reddit. The AI is gonna cannibalize itself late into the game because it can only regurgitate other info, even if it means contradicting itself to do it.
Chatgpt is for coming up with good names, and doing DIY projects. At best you could prod it into giving you suggestions for a single feature or trait if you get it started with plenty of context, and finally polish it up yourself.
