Hello, my players wants to play both Witherwilds (a day is equal to earth's week) and Andaluria (day and night is roughly the same as on the earth, but nights keep getting progressively longer year by year).

Is it possible to place both regions on the same planet keeping the physics intact?

If not I will come up with some 'magic' explanation, but it would be so extremely cool to have it astrophysically correct and describe what people form both regions see in the sky.

I was thinking about maybe very short year (14 days) or different shape of the planet (a torus maybe) or more suns. But I'm just to weak scientifically to make it work.

I didn't get any engagement on the domain, so maybe that means nothing was too objectionable. Here are the two classes I have built currently that use that domain for my setting, the Alchemist and the Dynamo.

My gut tells me the Chimerist is busted, but it's hard for me to really know for sure based on the amount of Daggerheart I have run so far. As mentioned in my other posts, feedback is definitely welcome.

The Alchemist

Part scientist, part mystic, those known as alchemists are masters of the transformative power of the natural and supernatural world. If wizards are the scholars who study the abstract theory of magic, alchemists are engineers who focus on the metaphysical catalysts and mystical schema required to manifest it—brewing potions that hold the essence of complex spells or distilling raw arcane energy into complex mathematical formulae.

Whether they are rewriting their own genetic code to survive a frontline brawl or orchestrating the perfect tactical explosion, an alchemist views the world not as a collection of objects, but as a series of reactions.

• Domains: Codex & Esoterica
• Evasion: 11
• Hit Points: 5
• Class Item: A sealed glass beaker containing a swirl of glowing, ever-changing liquid or a tiny mechanical beast that behaves like a real animal.

Class Features

Arcane Infusions

You may spend 1 Hope, in addition to any other costs outlined in the ability, to craft an alchemical infusion that contains the magical potential of one of your spells. These infusions can be distributed to, and used by, other creatures. They use your Spellcast trait for applicable rolls. For beneficial effects, infusions are activated by drinking the concoction or pouring it over the area. For offensive effects, they are thrown at a chosen location or target and have a range of Far.

You may have a number of infusions crafted at a given time equal to your Proficiency. If you craft an additional infusion over this limit, your oldest infusion becomes inert. You may make a downtime move during a short rest to craft a new infusion. You can spend an action during a long rest to craft any number of infusions.

Magical Mixers

Once per long rest, you can spend a downtime move to use your alchemical supplies to split a potion into two doses. You spend 1 Hope, produce some reagents from your kit, and create an Ephemeral Dose of the original potion. This cost increases by an additional Hope for each additional time that a given potion has been split (2 Hope for the second split, 3 for the third, etc). An Ephemeral Dose occupies one of your Infusion slots until used.

Hope Feature: Aqua Vitae

You may spend 3 Hope and a move during a long rest to craft a special healing draught that clears a number of Hit Points equal to 1d4 + your Knowledge bonus when consumed. You may consume it yourself, administer it to another, or give it to someone else. You may only have one of these concoctions crafted at a time. If you craft a new one while another remains active, the other becomes inert.

The Dynamo

Equal parts engineer and soldier, the Dynamo is a pragmatist of the industrial age who views the chaos of the front through the lens of applied force perfumed with the sweet scent of cordite. While traditionalists cling to old-world blades and heroics, the Dynamo masters the violence of the machine, harnessing steam and fire within brass valves, heavy plating, and rifled barrels.

To a Dynamo, war is a series of mechanical problems requiring high-yield solutions. Theirs is a life of calculated risks, where the hum of an overcharged metacore is the only warning before a tactical breakthrough—or a catastrophic backfire. In their hands, the battlefield is treated as a massive, lethal machine that can be mastered with the right tool and a steady hand.

• Domains: Bone & Esoterica
• Evasion: 11
• Hit Points: 6
• Class Item: A heavy, oil-stained wrench with a name stamped into the handle or a spent shell casing from an important battle.

You may spend 1 Hope to grant this same benefit to an ally within Close range.

Mark 1 Stress to make a broken weapon or item function normally for the rest of the scene. Large or especially complex items might take additional Stress, or not be able to be used with this ability, at the discretion of the Gamemaster.

Hope Feature: Hit the Deck

Specialization - Dig In: Mark 1 Stress to create a covered position. You gain a +2 Evasion from ranged attacks until you move, and grant this bonus to any allies within Very Close range of you until you leave cover.

How does this Homebrew Codex Grimoire look?

I tried keep the effects related but eclectic and went with the “Minor Offense, Minor Utility, Strong Defensive” setup. Tho I could see even making it a 2 effect Grimoire even. Thinking narrative first, I love scenes in other games where my Tiny Hut or Cozy Cottage can serve as a relatively safe RP space. Given other level 1 Grimoires have things like Telepathy as a valid effect (for a cost), do you think this is balanced for a level 1 effect? Or should it even be level 2 or 3?

# Book of Seb
Level 1 Codex Grimoire

- **Shocking Rune**
Make a Spellcast Roll against a Target in Close Range. On a Success the Target takes D8 Magic Damage using your Proficiency and must Mark a Stress

- **Thread Sigils**
Make a Spellcast Roll (12) to Summon threads as strong as normal rope connecting two objects or surfaces in Far Range. Alternatively, the thread may coil around an Object, immobilizing it until the threads are cut or otherwise destroyed.

- **Cottage Glyph**
You spend a minute concentrating on a desire for home and make a Spellcast Roll. On a Success, you Mark a Stress and create a large hemispherical glyph that creates a space in Close Range of you.The interior of the glyph is always a comfortable temperature to the caster, keeps out weather less severe than a hurricane, and is comfortable to lay upon its flat face. The Glyph is instantly destroyed if it takes at least Major Damage from any source except weather or the environment as described above. Its Evasion and Damage Threshold is equal to the result of your Spellcast Roll.

i think this is the same zine they were handing out physical copies of at gencon it ads ubra powered vehicles so we FINALLY have some vehicle rules to work from

“The Fogs of Elos” campaign frame is still under development, and these are the campaign mechanics I’m currently testing. I’ve also included some background elements to provide context for the mechanics. The mechanics work independently and can be incorporated into any campaign where the setting imposes a toll of fatigue on its inhabitants—whether it’s a year of plague, a long march, a siege, or a particularly harsh winter. Any feedback is welcome.

A special thank you to the Daggerheart Italia community for supporting me every day as I explore this fantastic game, and to u/MichaelRUnderwood for encouraging me to bring this project to life.

So, I intend to run a game based on the Beast Feast campaign frame, but with a bigger focus on monster hunting using the colossus rules from the core rulebook, and hunting mechanics of Dark Heart of Andaluria, from H&F.

The main thing is I'm also thinking about adding damage types as a campaign mechanic, and I'd like to hear your opinions on it.

My current thought is to add damage types only to specific creatures during hunts, rather than to every single adversary. For example, if the party is facing a simple giant scorpion, players and monsters would only deal physical and magical damage. But once they engage in a hunt against a large creature using the colossus rules, such as an Anjanath from Monster Hunter, damage would be divided into several subtypes.

I'm also torn between letting players choosing their damage type for spells and magic abilities when they learn it, or between rests, as a sort of preparation, like wizards prepared spells in DnD

I based my damage types on a mix of Fabula Ultima, DnD, and Monster Hunter.

Physical Damage is divided into three subtypes:

• Bludgeoning: Caused by blunt weapons, such as clubs and maces, as well as falls;
• Slashing: Caused by sharp weapons, such as swords and axes, as well as a monster's claws;
• Piercing: Caused by pointed weapons, such as daggers and spears, as well as monster bites.

Magical Damage is divided into 11 types:

• Acid: Caused by some monsters and natural hazards, as well as alchemical items;
• Air: Caused by shockwaves, sonic attacks, and supernatural winds;
• Earth: Caused by supernatural tremors and earth spirits;
• Fire: Caused by flames, magma, or intense heat;
• Ice: Caused by extremely low temperatures and ice magic;
• Light: Caused by pure and untainted spiritual energy;
• Lightning: Caused by lightning and electricity;
• Poison: Caused by poisons, infections, and pollution;
• Psychic: Caused by mental attacks and spells that affect the victim's mind;
• Umbral: Caused by undead creatures and life-destroying magic;
• Water: Caused by pressurized water, powerful currents, and water magic.

I'd also have resistances, vulnerabilities, immunities, and absorption.

Some creatures have an affinity with certain damage types, usually because of their species. For example, undead creatures are typically vulnerable to Light damage.

• Resistance: Damage of the specified type is halved before being compared to the creature's damage thresholds;
• Vulnerability: Damage of the specified type is doubled before being compared to the creature's damage thresholds;
• Immunity: The creature takes no damage of the specified type;
• Absorption: Instead of marking HP, the creature regains an amount of HP equal to the damage it would have taken. The damage is still compared against its damage thresholds normally, but instead of marking HP, it recovers that amount.

As for harvesting and crafting monster parts, regular food would use the default Beast Feast rules. But for equipment I'm creating a system based on Monsters of Drakkenheim, which has a simpler and more narrative crafting mechanic than regular D&D.

Sorry for any mistakes on DH nomenclature, I mainly play in portuguese, so I'm not used with the english terms.
