Bestow curse when upcast to 9th level states it can replicate the effect of a creature or spell that is congruent and balanced to the power of the spell slot used to upcast with. To obtain 9th level spell slots, a character would have to be at minimum a 17th level full caster. When determining spell effects that include CR, a character's level is used if the creature in question does not have a CR. Amongst CR 17 and lower creatures there are those with the ability to forcefully age a target by 1+1d10 *10 years when hit with an attack. In the section for creating new monsters and custom designed spells, when the effect is lowered significantly an attack roll can be forgone. First cast Teleportation Circle on a floor. Use Nystul's Magic Aura to target an area of ground, an object called "Floor" and add a creature type of "Humanoid". Use a 9th level upcast of Bestow Curse with the effect reballanced to age the target by 1 year with no attack roll. Wait one in game day. Now the Circle has undergone aging and is a year older; subsequently that year only contained 1 day, in which the spell was cast; thereby meaning that every single day (of which there was only one) during that year the spell was cast and is now instantaneously permanent. This effect can be used to make many spells permanent as none that do this have a recast time of longer than a year. This functions rules as written. Another few examples uses for a burgeoning wizard may be to cast Wish to cast Clone and have it ready in a day or to cast Mighty Fortress and have a permanent wizard's keep in less than a week. Enjoy

I like the nerf of limiting the number you have memorized, but I think it should be equal to your History bonus instead. this way having proficiency in history means something more and fall in line with "recalling information" usually part of a skill check. but they can have as many written in a book. maybe some could lead to the middle of a dungeon, but at the time it was written, it wasn't filled with baddies. lots of fun plot hooks with TC

1) picked up on portals through running Fortress of the Yuan Ti a few years ago. The portals were made of stone and activated by small fitted gems instead of runes. Carried this forward and made them appear later, and later still hit upon the idea of having the portal gemstones shaped like dice/"platonic solids." 2) the ideas your video sparked: the sigils are the words of a living language, and their lore and use can be learned, and must be to a small extent by anyone to create a circle per the spell. Maybe there's a backstory to the spell: there's a priesthood or a wizard academy that teaches this knowledge and picking up the spell means the PC learns this lore. "Portal Wizard" might even be a cool idea for a subclass like the wizard version of the Horizon Walker Ranger. Anyway, liked and subscribed, thank you for this.

I like your thought process. If you were to have a world based on 2000BC Ancient Mayan Civilization that is somewhat new to magic, how would you introduce that magic? I've been writing a setting that's like a remixed version of earth with actual magic that comes from radioactive deposits but I'm not sure how the Mayan culture would interact with that stuff and any mutated animals from said magical radiation.

My character that had teleport circle didn't get the spell until after the campaign ended, but part of what he did after was go around and put teleportation circles in places he would want easy access to. If we ever return to that setting, I will definitely be making use of them!

I truly love, appreciate and respect the work you put into your videos. I’ve been in the hobby for 50 plus years. You know your stuff good sir. Please keep going! ❤

Wow, I am glad this channel got recommended to me. This is quality informational content.

Fighters get Strength and Con saves bro

Just stumbled across your channel today and greatly enjoyed your video about economics. Here's a like, comment and subscribe for your good work!

Nicely done Video. ❤

I really like and enjoy your videos. I hope you will keep them going good sir. ❤

Solid video and I truly enjoyed your handling of the topic. ❤

My old man quest giver just put up a new job on the board. WANTED: 5 viable gryphon eggs, payment upon hatching.

Here’s my system for buying and selling. First, a bell% roll is rolling 3d6 and the result is multiplied by 10 and taken as a percentage, for a range of 30% to 180%. Second, for any kind of product, I’ll roll bell% for a regional adjustment to the item’s book listed base cost, with modifiers for places obviously short on such items (ie deserts obviously won’t have a native supply of lumber). Second, I’ll roll bell% again for a town or city, adjusting the regional base price, with modifiers for the amount of trade and craftsmen in said city. Third, when players try to buy or sell, they’ll roll a bell% times the city’s base price, with a +/-2 depending on how they haggle with the merchant. This leads to regional variation in item prices, and sets a good baseline for imbalances that can have narrative impact, and leaves open a way for players to get into being merchants. Additionally, if players start screwing up the economy with lots of an item or an alternative to a common item, the GM can adjust the modifiers for a city or region based on that, letting the players see the impact of their actions on item prices.

Assuming a Vancian magic system, what magic items are booming? Which ones have already gone bust? What happens to the regional butchery market when neighboring green-skins learn necromancy?

Funny how me and my players made a spreadsheet of the items worth in gold. Overall very good vid 🎉 Honestly, I'm a believer that players do care money just need to find ways to show it off in a way for there characters to express.

Have you checked out ACKSII? It has just been released on DriveThru. It has a full-fledged economy, and one of its core classes is focused on commerce. The way they simulate the economy is very elegant, I find. Basically, each settlement is classified with a Market Class from VI to I, and you have a finite amount of stuff of a certain value you can buy/sell (or have the probability to find) per MC. It also has a system for trading commodities, making investments, managing domains, etc. Very cool.

I wish this video had existed a few years ago. I had to convince my DM to let my paladin of Waukeen (faurunian goddess of wealth) become a mogul in the regional food market. We recovered a magic cauldron that could magically make nourishing stew out of fresh water. Instead of selling or donating this magic item I convinced the party to use it to corner the food market in the region. I created a corporate structure partnering with two local churches to protect and use the cauldron to its maximum effect. Our party artificer figured out how to make a canning device and we had prepacked tins of stew ready to heat and eat. As our campaign involved major food supply pressures this was a huge deal. Suddenly no one was starving, and we were turning a healthy profit from our exporting stew to the outside world. It was glorious! The nature of the campaign made extracting actual wealth from the company less important that pouring our resources into survival infrastructure but I hoped eventually we’d see a cash profit. Anyway, I enjoyed the video. Thanks!

This video is an excellent source of inspiration for everyone. Thanks!

I like the shares angle. Keeps it simple. Any advice for player owned businesses?

Keep up the good work. This is awesome

I wanted to add a trade Economy to my Game, so this helped me a lot

If anything is weirdly worded, I assume everyone knows why. Don't think I can use all of these words here, I checked in incognito, comment didn't appear. Right on time, I co-DM an evil campaign (me and another player switch DM seats) where whole premise is establishing underground cults of The Unalive Three in city, taking control over the city and then move on onto the next one. With each city acting (hopefully, we still didn't get to roll over) as an story arc, being between 5 and 10 sessions. I was going to put some prices and let players choose proper front for washing money, such as gambling dens, medieval OF as big investments, shop vendors, alchemists and such as mid investments and urchin or thug gangs as low investments for scouting and general information. I was calculating that if the investment doesn't give pure money by 10th or 12th month, ruffians and shortcut lovers such as evil characters won't be doing it. My system so far was really simple, take real world prices, count 1gp as 10$ and you have a frame of reference. I was going to approximate if something costs 3.000gp to invest in, such as renovating big decrepit mansion in city to use as gambling front, it should give back around 300gp per month. But I'm definitely adopting 3d6-3d4 system, except for monthly revenue, since investing in bribes, magical artifacts, paychecks for new members and general cash flow is crux of B gameplay and not something off to the side for some adventurers, I don't mind extra money flow. And it's definitely fun way to make it engaging, do you make a fat book keeper disappear for cooking some books and taking some of your money since he betrayed you, but suffer let's say extra 2d4 expenses monthly till you find a replacement, or you just begrudgingly gently (not gently) remind him up hoping he'll be too spooked not to do more stealing in future. When we inevitably move onto another city, if I need a plot hook for them to come back, I can fudge numbers and give them multiple months of negative revenue, so once they come back personally to fix the problem, they have personal investment into hating who ever is screwing their operations (be it good paladins trying to redeem the city or simply neighboring naughty syndicate encroaching on their territory). Pretty good motivator to put them into positions of saving others despite being evil too. Maybe I don't care about you personally but if you make my medieval OF roll 3d10s instead of 3d6s I might risk my life to break into highly guarded prison to get you out.

Okay I got a question I'm a player at the end of lost mines of phandelver and I really want to take the mine we found and turn it into a business. I want to be a janitor, ❤ I'm a sorcerer and my prestidigitation will keep the ground clean . Also I have a pet bat and pet rock and I want to care for the environment and I want to make sure mine is not terrible because I want the local bats to actually stay nearby and I'll have my druid talk to them about occasionally leaving some guano, in exchange for a clean mine while we mine. Also when cleaning up the mind I'll make sure to keep iron dust because that's needed for enlarge reduce person. The party druid will be in charge of delivery because driving horses is a handle animal check, out fighter will be in charge of security, and our healing monk will be head of hr

I want to name the d4's expenses, taxes, labor costs. And name the d6, trends, new customers, old customers, foreign buyers

Love thos might try and do this for class and a campaign

Thanks for posting - great ideas! Happy holidays to you too ❤

Really like this concept man! Keep up the great work!

👀

Heston sailing arc when?

I enjoy these idea sparks. Keep going!

Land Ho!

woo hoo. Why can't Bone Jaw be Bj . . . . ohhhhhh

You can't beat this stage presence

Hey, came here from Reddit!

No promises

I see you brudda. Thank ya for your thoughts.

6:05 close save there boss, I was getting ready to move along lmao

Always a good upload

Want to start building that MT score? Commission a statue.

*gasp* All Orc campaign? Could be super cool. Lots of ideas to explore there.

It specifically says: _If you’re instructed to choose a feat from a specific category, such as the Origin category, that category must appear under the feat’s name. If you’re instructed to choose a feat and no category is specified, you can choose from any category._ So as long as you meet the requirements, you can take an Origin Feat or a Fighting Style. However all Fighting Style Feats have a prerequisite of "Fighting Style Feature" which is a class benefit.

A cool way to introduce a new factor to think about if everyone wants it, like a greater focus on survival mechanics. Its really not that bad as its not like it snowballs and is almost guaranteed to kill you. You just have to rest which may mean staying put in a less than ideal spot while a companion recovers.

This definitely won't feel fun without a lot of foreshadowing and warning before and after.

Ah yes, very fun to cripple a character because they lost a check of which they did not know the severity.

I love your work! here's hoping you earn the popularity you deserve, because this helped me conceptualize weather and environment better from a storytelling perspective. DnD feels too sandboxy nowadays, and world builders often forget that some of the most vital RP and character development can come from the journey and the environment, two things that almost all parties spend most of their time involved with. God bless ya!
