With my DM we are building a homebrew Sorcerer subclass adapted specially to his setting, and we came to the agreement we wanted the 6th level feature to be a 'defensive fortress' type thing.

Essentially, you create a small area you cannot move and are well defended inside. You get +ac and + to all saves, but we still want a little more benefit to being in that area, so you could justify staying inside it and defending your position
Any ideas on what features would make this work, specializing on defense if possible?

I'm in the process of planning a campaign. I've done a load of worldbuilding since i really enjoy that side of things, and I came up with a bbeg group that i think is really appealing, with all the layers of depth and secrecy that players tend to love. I know their ambitions, motivations, long term goals and short term goals.

What I'm stuck in, though, is in planning each 'story arc' for the actual campaign. I've heard DMs say "Oh my players have reached arc 1 of 12 I have planned" or so for ages, but what does that mean exactly? To what specificity should i plan a story arc, because i doubt writing 'they plan to take over the Chen province first' is enough lol

Hello everyone! I'm a worldbuilding making a nation heavily inspired on Ancient China (Tang dynasty)
I was wondering if anyone knew of any compendium/bestiary of East Asian mythological creatures. Thx!

I am planning a campaign, I've done all the necessary worldbuilding and now I'm moving on the making the bbeg and actual plot. I've decided that the BBEG will be a revolutionary group led by 3 people, who call themselves the triumvirate

This revolutionary group will appear to be fighting for the people but will ultimately be self-serving. What i want to ask is what you guys think will be more interesting, for the campaign to start after this movement has already begun, so support is already widespread, or for the campaign to begin before this movement becomes popular, so they may witness the rise of it firsthand?

I'm in the process of making of making my BBEGs for a campaign I'll be running, and I came with a political movement led by triumvirate that has been gaining traction as of late. This movement is very much revolutionary and--at times--violent even.

This triumvirate of course has more ambitions than just conquering: taking over the nation is simply something they need to archieve their true goals.

What I am wondering though is how to justify their movement getting traction, while not portraying the ruling goverment as overly cruel.

Things like high taxes, or poor conditions come to mind, but there have to be cooler options, can anybody help me?

I'm finally done with the cosmology and such of my world, and I am now moving unto creating the actual plot of the campaign, and I'm stuck on what makes a good, appealing BBEG

Please, tell me about what's the best main enemy you've faced in your campaign! If possible, id appreciate a brief summary first and a more detaied story later!

I bought Ibispaint Pro a few months ago, and now as I move to a new laptop replacing my last one, my purchase refuses to be installed in the new device.

I can see it in the microsoft store, it tells me that i do in fact still have the purchase registered in this device, it simply refuses to install anything but the free version.

Does anyone know how this could be resolved?
