Fantastic Stuff posted in Fantasy and Progress Level 3 forum comment posted by derek_holland Chromatic dragons are flesh and blood. Metallic are machines created by someone or thing to counter them. Gem dragons are psychic illusions centered around a large gemstone. Ferrous dragons are flesh poisoned by heavy metals (thus their erratic behavior).
I was thinking of spell botches and after a few for wizards, I realized I have never done any for other arcane casters. The first three are for wizards and the rest for warlocks.
Botches by pyromancers may cause nearby chicken eggs to hatch into phoenixes. This is the only way for the fire bird population to increase and so good pyromancers try to keep a clutch or two on them.
Botches by diviners may annoy object spirits, cause them to change their nature without altering their appearance. A suit of steel armor may look like steel after this but has the physical traits of glass or bone.
Botches by evokers may cook all the nearby food. This likely causes an odor that increases the chances of random encounters, at least until the food is eaten or disposed of.
Botches by Great Old One warlocks may cause nearby food to transform into swarms of tiny aberrations.
Botches by archfey warlocks may turn 1d6 nearby weapons into spiky clubs with living leaves. Plant the clubs and they will quickly grow into trees.
Botches by genie warlocks may turn nearby animals into tasked genies (types dependent on the genie bound to the warlock). This horrifies the genie and should horrify the caster. Actually using them for their tasks is a good way to find the limits of the genie/caster relationship.
The next botches are for Traveler Between the Stars warlocks. That patron can be found in Alien Influence (on the DM Guild):
- A nearby magic item emits a hologram of a prior owner asking for assistance.
- Swaps half the mind of the caster with a foe. This stuns both for a few minutes and gives each other access to all the other's memories and skills. Eventually the parts merge and new personalities result. (Any ideas on where I got that one from?)
- Draws the attention of a lesser avatar of Yog-Sog-Oth. Travels in time and space may be the result if the warlock has the right things to trade.
- Summons a killer clown, Protoss probe, or other creature from another reality. In any case the warlock is now known to a species from elsewhere.
- A meteor falls nearby. Exploring the impact site reveals a container of star gems, an Aresian Lens, an astromech, a tricorder, game console with addictive games and unlimited batteries, etc. etc.
