QUEST OF THE DAY

Answer these questions in the same format as the other story/adventure thingies. Now,  like the create a race/species one from earlier, no making the stats until the last (and technically first, as alignment has some statistical uses) question. With that out of the way, let's begin!

1. The creature's alignment. Is the creature evil, good, neutral, etc.

 The creature is Nuetral Good. Though it often waits to see which side is more likely to win and not engage - if it sees what it believes to be people of good intentions - it may attempt to help and sway things to their favor.

Next Set of Questions are:

2. The creature's physical appearance. How does it appear when adventurers stumble upon it?

2. The creature appears as a spiderweb of glyphs on a surface - wall, ceiling or floor. Often times it tries to blend in with the environment - carpet pattern, wood grain, or such. Requires DC XX to detect when it is not moving.

The next set of questions are:

3. It's abilities. But since no stats for this question, say we have a creature that freezes people. Just say 'it freezes people' instead of 'all targets must make a blank saving throw or blah blah blah'.

3. It's abilities. But since no stats for this question, say we have a creature that freezes people. Just say 'it freezes people' instead of 'all targets must make a blank saving throw or blah blah blah'.

It can strike people with pseudopods it extracts from the wall and strike a creature. When struck a creature makes a Int Save or be flooded with info, taking pyscich damage, becoming stunned for a turn. Once the stun ends though, the creature gains the answer to a one question in its mind of its choice. In addition, it can explode itself like a glyph of warding, scattering it into different pieces. If a piece is not destroyed, it can grow into a new one of these creatures. 

The next set of questions are:

4. It's behavior, mainly how it acts. Wanted to put abilities before behavior to do stuff like 'it uses (ability) to (blank).

5. A brief description of its lore. How was it created and brought into this world?

6. The name of the creature.

7. The interesting bit! Someone here makes a homebrew stat block for the monster made and posts it here, incorporating the abilities and stuff into said stat block in mechanical form.

Wysperra… have you been reading the Stormlight Archive?

 Why yes! I'm on the last book. I'll admit to skipping some parts.

I'm also a fan of John Ringo and the Posleen war. Himmit are experts at camouflage.

 I realized when you perfectly described Cryptics XD

It really is a great series though! If you enjoy it then definitely check out the Licanius Trilogy. It’s a little more similar to Wheel of Time, but it fits the more modern style of fantasy that Brando writes in.

How about a lurker does this one? Yeah, that's right, if you haven't posted or only posted like once and got ignored (if that happened, sorry, we sometimes get caught up in our own nerdyness. at least, I do. :) Then you MUST answer this next question, so that way we can complete the monster. I implore you! Accept this quest. Accept. Your. DESTINY! (which is to join us)

Sorry if i'm being dramatic. I've been listening to too many musical soundtracks (recently, SIX: the musical and Mean Girls on Broadway)

Quest Of The Day: share how D&D and its community has impacted your life.

 Oh, god, um, that's a hard one.

Well, I certainly made my best friend by playing D&D and similar RPGs, and I have had a lot of fun and quite a few memorable moments here on DDB, but also a few bad moments with my parents saying DDB is social media and not wanting me to be on it, threatening me with bans, and a lot of angry S-words. So, overall, it's been a little bit in-between

Quest Of The Day: share how DND and its community has impacted your life.

I'm ridiculously late to answering this question but whatevs lol: I'd say D&D's made me nerdier and happier. And the main D&D community I really interact with is this one, which is shockingly an internet forums that I've found has been wonderfully supportive overall.

For folks who have played D&D for awhile - is there a setting you prefer (Dark Sun, Dragonlance, Ravenloft, Forgotten Realms - Homebrew, aside) - if so, why?

For the folks newer to D&D - what is you've discovered you've enjoyed about the setting you're playing in (whatever it may be)?

 I love Ravenloft and I love Forgotten Realms. I’m also a big fan of Critical Role’s Exandria setting. I don’t know Dragonlance that well and I don’t know Dark Sun at all.

I love Ravenloft because it’s gothic horror and Forgotten Realms and Exandria because they’re high fantasy and I really like both those genres.

 I have played in Forgotten Realms, Wildemount, and several homebrew settings. I’d love to try Ravenloft sometime.

Several of the games in Forgotten Realms ended up in Icewind Dale, which is a pretty cool place.

I really like the game I am in now set in Post-apocalyptic Appalachia.

 Icewind Dale is one of my favorite locations in the Forgotten Realms.

Eberron. I love the additional races (except shifters, they’re okay though), the story telling potential from the Last War, magitech and the 1920s aesthetic, and the amazing twists on standard D&D races. IMO, 9 times out of 10, the Eberron version of a typical D&D grace is way more interesting than the base/Forgotten Realms lore for them. Oh, and almost all of the religions are amazing, especially the Blood of Vol and Church of the Silver Flame. 

I like the idea of Athas (Dark Sun), but in practice it's a bit of a mess.

I love homebrew too much to try anything else.

Okay, that was a lie. I dig Spelljammer too. But c’mon, it’s Spelljammer. What’s not to like?

 I’ve only ever played in Faerûn and Homebrew, and I’d love to play in one of those other settings. I’ve read the Dragonlance books though.
