#Shrunken DnD

[eldritchwaffless]

Made a character for my previous post Haven't made a name for her yet, maybe "GumDrop" or something like that...

If you have any ideas, like for characters, the setting, etc feel free to tell me about it!

[cloaksandcapes]

Who wants to move around the battlefield like a Boggle from DnD? This will one day be a part of our monster collection! I'm thinking, now that I'm looking at it, it may need a cooldown or usage limiter, like number of times equal to prof bonus? Thoughts?

Shrunken Boggle Skulls

Wondrous Item, rare

“A couple of shrunken Boggle skulls tied together and tattooed with various magical runes. This odd and morbid trinket allows the user to access some of the natural magical abilities of the Boggles.” You can use a bonus action to create an invisible and immobile rift within an opening or frame you can see within 5 feet of it, provided that the space is no bigger than 10 feet on any side. The dimensional rift bridges the distance between that space and a point within 30 feet of it that you can see or specify by distance and direction (such as “30 feet straight up”). While next to the rift, you can see through it and are considered to be next to the destination as well, and anything that you put through the rift (including a portion of your body) emerges at the destination. Only you can use the rift, and it lasts until the end of your next turn.

Hydra!Four

Another monster Link! For anyone wondering, no I'm not doing because it's October. Just like messing with a character's species. If you guys don't know, Hydras are a mythical serpent from Greek Mythology. This is an example I took from a DND page.

Hydra nature came from his mother's side and manifested fully at eight years old. Body is similar to a Mexican Mole Lizard in structure with each head having their own set of hands and upper torsos. The lower half being similar to an iguana with four different colored tails. When split, all colors have their own serpentine body.

Around 48 ft in length when whole whilst 12 ft in length if split. A shrunken Four is the size of a house cat as his split form measures around the average garden snake. Each one of Four's heads have their own element. Green is Earth, Red is Fire, Blue is Water and Violet is Poison. Very few people and the Minish know about his Hydra nature.

Violet scales double as both an antidote and poison. Plucking a scale without permission makes it poisonous unlike when given permission. The poisonous scales act similar to Cane Toad venom, yeah, someone's going to become incapacitatingly high.

Green scales act as a fertilizer of sorts. One ground up scale can revitalize an entire crop field. However if stolen then the scale will petrify instead. Can be used to boost the healing power of medicine.

Blue scales function like purifiers, revolving any toxins from various liquids. A single scale can purify a small lake. Stolen scales will freeze whatever liquid it touches including blood.

Red scales grant powerful fire properties to any object imbued with it. Can even turn suits of armor into lava based diver suits. Stolen scales will incinerate any non-living object and set ablaze living creatures.

Four is extremely careful when it comes to shedding season. Often storing his shed scales in magic sealed chests as they can be super dangerous on their own. Tends to be very nippy around friends and fully hostile with strangers during shedding season.

Four would often use his scales to help his town or neighboring areas. This usually happens if the conditions are very bad such as devastated crops, polluted waters, etc. His red scales are used the most while his violet scales are used the least.

Complete hoarder when it comes to any well crafted forge item or highly rare material. His hoard is hidden within a private aclove whenever he feels like lazing about in his monster form.

Can purr although it's often mistaken for rumbling. Tends to eat rock or minerals such as iron, steel and even gems. Four likes to sunbathe or relax in water. He tends to shrink using magic just so he can relax in Hydra form without causing a scene.

Like any Hydra, cutting off Four's head will only cause two more to grow in its place. Can happen in human form as well although it's super irritating for him especially since they're chatterboxes. Extra heads are difficult to get rid of whenever the Four Sword isn't used.

Constant arguing tends to happen between Four's heads. At best two get into a bickering match and at worst all four are arguing. Nipping alongside slapping are bound to occur if it isn't interrupted.

Chain finds out when a Yiga cuts off Four's head in human form. No one expected two to grow instead of one nor the Smithy to say 'Fuck it' and transforms. Has been asked on multiple occasions if he was cursed to the point it becomes irritating.

If any Link calls him short in human form then he's quick to assume his Hydra and lay his tail down on the culprit. The Chain gets front row seats to any bickering matches between their companion's heads. Time usually breaks them apart.

Four does give his fellow Links some of his scales to use for emergencies, at least three per color. He wants to make sure that his brothers in arms have extra protection if they get separated by a portal or trap.

Only uses his Hydra form in battle under dire circumstances or extremely pissed off. Otherwise, Four lazes about as a cat sized beastie whenever he feels like it. Usually takes a nap in one of the Chain's bags during those times.

That's all I have for now! Until next time folks, I'll see you back in Hyrule!

[antlering]

i’m so entertained by the final roll call for my Curse of Strahd players:

Hanyu, as in figure skating superstar Yuzuru Hanyu, in this case a Long Death monk from Barovia gone insane from dimension-hopping (and the missing sibling of a certain demonic NPC)

Francis, part of an adopted family all named Francis (including Francis, a ranger in our other campaign), an Aarakocra Shepherd druid with insomnia who doesn’t know he’s a rogue werewolf

Grenn Silverfist, goliath battle master sworn to kill werewolves, vampires and all manner of undead + fiends

Zira, tiefling Lycan blood hunter bitten by the Night Mother (Shar???) and also sworn to kill rogue werewolves

Brialdre, aasimar Paladin of Savras, a deity killed by Shar/the Night Mother and just recently returned to life

Halros, half-elf dhampir Glamour bard (who doesn’t remember becoming a dhampir) invited to Barovia by Strahd to perform, and

Freya, Halros’ enchanted shrunken head - our last usual party member is already in another Strahd campaign and this head that of her forge cleric, dead in our world, who occasionally chimes in with nothing useful to add

[lady-vir]

hermits but as a dnd party

grian: goblin rouge, need i say more, probably the most chaotic of the party

scar: human wizard, this one works on multiple levels. scar is probably the first dead being a wizard and well, scar. most likely dead to a goblin encounter, said goblin is probably grian

rendog: Tiefling (or perhaps a canus??) bard, again, need I say more? def the horny bard type

cleo: Hollow One Necromancer, definitely laudna vibes, carries around a bunch of shrunken heads

gem: elf druid lover of plants

mumbo: human cleric, was tempted to put him as an artificer, but we all know he’d probably somehow form a cult of random koblods to preach the power of some gnome overlord

doc: definitely a half automaton artificer

ik I didn’t do all the hermits, i just did the ones that I could really place as certain dnd races/classes, also I don’t watch all the hermits

Now let’s try Stag for all the flavors

YES! Yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes yes..... So happy you asked! ☺

1 – Favorite color?

Brown. The color of… nevermind. 😉

2 – Hobbies?

Running, flirting, dancing, parties, orgies… (but that's a secret.) Improving his sword skills in creative ways.

3 – What are their strengths?

Hard worker. Gossip management. Lying. Intelligence recon. (had you going there for a second with gossip and lying, huh?) Good at making and maintaining habits. Even bad ones, unfortunately.

4 – What are their weaknesses?

Emotionally closed off. Opening up. Doesn't allow himself to grow emotionally. Avoids emotion. Look, he's got issues with feelings, okay? He lies to himself a lot.

5 – Favorite food(s)?

Stag is a carnivore. Hand him a slab of meat, medium rare or less, and he will devour it. I haven't made up the names of all the meats they have on Thera, but Earth equivalents are steak, pork, lamb, and any other ground creature. (Thera is kind of short on birds, but I'm sure he'd love chicken and turkey too. Also, Thera doesn't have fish. I don't know how he'd feel about fish.)

6 – Least favorite food(s)?

Due to a bad experience as a child, he has a severe food aversion to brazens. A brazen looks like a shrunken plumb and the taste is similar to cranberries, but less bitter. If it has the slightest bit of brazen in it, he will taste it and throw up. Can't do it. Hold the brazens, please.

7 – What would be their dream job?

Wandering swordsman. They do odd jobs and are basically self-employed. The system for getting paid is different on Thera, but as long as he's doing jobs, he gets access to food and inns and clubs (naturally because Stag).

8 – What is their DND alignment?

Chaotic Neutral with good tendencies. He follows his whims, but has decent morals and will turn things down if they don't align. However, he isn't afraid to do jobs for the bad guys. Again, as long as they don't directly go against his morals. (Examples include hunting, fetching, and exploring. Doesn't care what side he does it for because it doesn't directly hurt anyone.)

9 – What is their hidden talent?

He's a natural gymnast. If it were a thing on Thera, he'd be really good at it. Naturally agile and flexible. It helps with his speed and agility when sword fighting.

10 – List a personality quirk of this person.

He loves pranks. It's a socially acceptable way to be mean to someone. He doesn't ever go out of his way to hurt them in the process, but the bigger the reaction, the more likely he is to do it again.

11 – List something strange/weird/unexpected about this character that their loved ones probably don’t know about them.

He's constantly making lists and keeping secret counts. Some things that come up in the story: he has over 2000 reasons he's in love with person A. 27 reasons he's in love with person B. He's counted how many people he's been with, including how many were boys and how many were girls. (He tries to keep them even. It's a thing.) When he finally starts "dating" this one person, he keeps count of how many times they've had sex. All sorts of things. There are so many, but some of them are spoilers, so that's all I'll share for now. 😉

12 – What is their complex? (Sister, inferiority, etc) Explain.

Father complex. His father abandoned him and everything that happened between his mother dying and his father leaves him carrying a huge weight on his heart. More on that in damage.

13 – What is their main sin of the seven deadly ones?

GLUTTON. I originally thought lust, but the reason his sexual ventures are so many are because he tends to outdo everything. He obsesses and just does too much of it. His training. His fighting. His sex life. He always does it to the highest degree. It can be argued that it's actually pride, but while he is a cocky asshole at times, he never says something he can't follow through with, not if he can help it. So if he says he's going to win, he probably will, and he's just trying to warn you because he doesn't want to waste the time. He knows his level of skill and has worked his ass off to get it there. He knows EXACTLY what he's capable of, and he's generally a good judge of what's others can do. I mean, except in the case of Deshi. Deshi's kind of an outlier. 🙄

14 – How would they be as a parent?

Loving, caring, supportive, protective, reasonable, he'd be a very good parent. If/when he chooses to have kids, he will put them above all else. When they're older, he'll probably encourage prank wars with them. He'd make a very good stay at home dad, and prefer it even. He's a decent cook and like I mentioned above, he tends to overdo things so once he's a parent, he's gonna be the best damn parent anyone's ever known. 😆 Also, his sex life would become nearly nonexistent. He wouldn't want to taint them with it. (Besides, kids keep people too busy for that stuff. 😜)

15 – What is their main love language?

Words of Affirmation. He only has one word that triggers him, and anything that implies that word will also trigger him. Thanks, Dad. On the flipside, he's very chatty and never skips out on a chance to give someone the words they need for those he cares about. He knows just how much weight there is behind the words that people use, and thus uses them carefully when it's important. He can also be purposefully flippant about them too, and is great at lying, which helps his intelligence recon abilities.

16 – How do they act around a crush?

Starts a list of reasons they like them and holds every moment with them close to his heart while acting nonchalant and cool until he gets to his room where screams like a star crazed teenager.

17 – How do they act when they are in love?

Pre-relationship: Changes the list to reasons they love the person and pays extra attention to them. Everything they say is something he analyzes so he can understand their wants, desires, dreams, hopes, fears. He will also blabber on and on just to keep them around and keep talking to them.

In a relationship: Talks to them about everything. Given enough time, he'll open up, which is the biggest compliment he could give someone. He knows his heart's in a box, but when he loves someone enough, he'll hand it to them and hope they not only know what it means, but won't crush it in the process. He does take a little goading before he actually hands it over though, because it is also his greatest fear.

18 – How would they react to a confession of love?

He's very put off by it. He doesn't like attachments and unless it's someone he's already got a list for, he's not interested, and not afraid to say as much. His argument is "You knew I just wanted to have fun. I made it clear that this was just for fun. And now it's not fun. Bye!" But... if it were one of the people he already loves, before his character arc takes effect, he'd probably brush it off like it isn't such a serious thing. He'd say things like "you don't mean that" or "I'm sure you say that to all the handsome guys, thanks!" but he'd eventually turn into a pile of mush and just constantly daydream about them, hoping he didn't fuck it up with his nonchalance.

19 – How do they show their love/affection?

He's a very sexual person, and depending on what the other person is like, he would probably drag them out to many sexual excursions. He likes "hunting" at clubs and would take them with him to each one, let them pick, and then go with it. He would also want to be with them everywhere they go. To protect them, to experience life with them, and to just talk to them about everything. Especially if he can trust someone with his heart, he'll become an open book. He's actually not truly polyamorous. He would ideally be in an open relationship with that one special person always being there, and everything would always be centered around them. He would place them on a pedestal and "you and you and you and you are fun, but this person… they're so much more." He would make sure that person felt special, despite his... tendencies.

20 – What is their idea of a good time?

Hunting in a club.

21 – Describe their ideal date.

Going to a club, hunting with that person, having a multiple person orgy with them, and then waking up the next morning with breakfast and good conversation with just that one person, letting the others sleep.

22 – How do they handle drama?

Watching it with a bag of popcorn at hand. If it stems from him, he fans the flame like he's trying to set the world on fire. Explosions everywhere. It must all die! If it stems from someone else, he will say something cruel to get the person to stop so he can walk away. It's all or nothing with him.

23 – What is their sexual preference/sexuality?

Bisexual/Hyper sexual. (If you couldn't tell by now, lol.)

24 – What is their BDSM tag? (Brat, sub, Master, vanilla, etc)

It should surprise no one that he is very very kinky. The only things that ranked low on the BDSM archtype test were degrader/degradee and vanilla. The ones he scored 98% and higher on were Nonmonogamous, Predator, and Brat/Brat Tamer.

25 – What is their phobia or greatest fear?

See number 17, but basically, opening up beyond repair should something happen while he's vulnerable.

26 – What is their emotional damage?

When his mom died, he tried to stay strong for his dad but his dad never really recovered. He drank, he got angry, and never touched the kid, but Stag is words of affirmation. He didn't need to touch him for it to hurt. His dad pushed him to work hard because they "didn't need handouts" and to not act like you can't help yourself "because you're a man" and to not complain because "you're not allowed to be weak". Stag rose up to the challenge and actually did pretty well for himself, but then his uncle came to offer a refuge for Dad to get himself back up on his feet. And Dad didn't take Stag with him because "you aren't worth it".

Stag didn't have anywhere to go (and he was roughly 10 in Earth years) so he ran away instead of becoming a ward of the state (Earth terms "ward of the state", but to quickly explain, all of Thera's children are wanted so orphans are extremely rare, which apparently Stag is now.) Every issue he has stems from this, and Stag puts a lot of effort to be "worth someone's time", so when anyone implies he's not, they get a severe punch to the face.

(For those that read the book...) And that's why that happened. Yup, he totally deserved it.

27 – How do they handle emotional pain?

He keeps himself busy. He won't be chatty, won't interact with others more than he needs to, he may take it out on the dance floor or in the clubs, but he won't talk. He'll daze off into nowhere a lot.

28 – How do they handle physical pain?

Like an annoyance. He gets hurt a lot during sword training so it's like "Yeah, yeah, I'll go to Medical so Master Key can heal me..." grumble grumble, I hate getting hurt, so inconvenient... 😆 If he's out in the realm though, he's relatively knowledgeable about what he's supposed to do to stabilize the wound or what to do if he gets a concussion or something and how to get help if he needs. Because remember, he can do it by himself (minus the magic) and doesn't need "handouts". >.>

29 – What would bring them to kill someone?

I can see him getting the opportunity more often than others, but he knows it's something you can't come back from, so it would either take a lot to convince him to actually take a life, or he would have to be so incredibly blind with rage that doesn't stop himself at that critical moment. Continued below.

30 – How would they react or change after they’ve killed someone?

Usually he tends to stop himself, so he would feel incredibly guilty if the person died anyway due to his actions (like if he hurt them and let them go and then they got eaten by a cancer [very evil animal] because they were too weak.) If he did actually kill someone directly though, he'd be wracked with guilt despite the reason. He'd probably stop going to clubs and stop doing the things he loves and try to find a way to punish himself while helping others at the same time. (Literally working himself to death.) He'd disappear into the forest and live a hermit's life, all for the sake of punishing himself. And without outside intervention, he'd probably stay that way.

Sorry if the intense section was a little... intense, but Stag's a pretty serious guy when it comes down to it. Thanks for asking about my favorite person! I will love him til the end because he's one of those surprisingly deep people and once I dove into his personality, I just... love him so much. 💙 Thanks @heyhellohihowareyou for the ask!

Sorry I’ve been so inactive lately. Meet Kori my dragonborn cleric. I just started playing DnD again and I really like the group I’m in. I actually don’t feel like crap with them. She’s very sweet. If not a bit morbid. My favorite line for her so far is “you can’t spell Necromancer without Romance.”

by the by she was an absolute nightmare for me tor draw. I honestly haven’t drawn an anthropomorphic character before so I’m happy with her. The shrunken head on her hip is her sister.

WIP Challenge

Rules: "post the names of all the files in your WIP folder regardless of how non-descriptive or ridiculous. Let people send you an ask with the title that most intrigues them and then post a little snippet of it or tell them something about it! And then tag as many people as you have wips. I have deemed that this isn’t just for writing either. Sketch titles? Comics? Dnd campaigns? If you have an unfinished project, it counts!!"

-

Finally getting around to this. Thanks to @kit27x and @wickfur for the tags.

In the Dragon’s Dungeon: How to Play as Maleficent in D&D 5e

As a card-carrying, certified geek, I’m a fan of many dorky hobbies, and among them is Dungeons and Dragons. So in honor of Halloween, I’ve decided to dedicate my very first build to the Mistress of All Evil, Maleficent from the 1959 Disney Classic Sleeping Beauty, and to a lesser extent, her role as the leader of the Disney Villains in the Kingdom Hearts series and other 2nd tier canon material using the animated version. For this build, we are only interested in her animated counterpart. Jolie’s portray is far too noble and sympathetic for the diabolical witch we’re working with here. Maleficent is a very powerful fairy, so our goal for her build is to focus on causing as much unhappiness, pain, and misery as she possibly can.

Picking a Race

While our first instinct is to call Maleficent a Wicked Witch, she is in fact, a fairy. She’s based on the Aged Fairy (or the Bad Fairy in some translations) from the Grimm and Perrault versions of the Sleeping Beauty fairytale. Unfortunately, while Fey exist in DnD, they are not a specific playable race with stats, so we’re forced to improvise. However, there are 3 subraces which seem best suited for what Maleficent could be: [Fallen Aasimar] - since all the other fairies have wings and can only perform good magic, this dark variation on the playable “angel” race which has lost its wings could fit Maleficent’s descent and mirror the fall of Lucifer. With this option she gains +2 Charisma and +1 Strength, 60 feet of darkvision, resistance to both necrotic and radiant damage, the power to instill fear in those around her, and boost her own necrotic damage for a short period between rests. However, this might not fit her the best, and she is slain by a sword endowed with good fairy magic, which could be considered radiant damage. However, Ventus puts her to sleep in Kingdom Hearts Birth by Sleep, so that could be a point in favor of this racial build for the character. [Maka Clan Elf] - Maka Clan elves specialize in curses by praying to old gods of nature and death. With this choice, she gains +2 Dexterity and +1 Wisdom, proficiency with Religion, 60 feet of darkvision, resistance to charm, immunity to sleep spells, and can enter an elven trance instead of sleeping. As a Maka Clan Elf, she knows the Thaumaturgy Cantrip at level 1, and starting at levels 3 and 5 respectively, she can cast both Hex and Crown of Madness once per long rest using her Wisdom modifier. [Shadar-Kai Elf] - The third option is the Shadar-Kai. Once a fey like other elves, the Shadar-Kai became loyal to the Raven Queen, and they have taken up refuge in Shadowfell, a dark dimension. This nicely mirrors Maleficent’s state as a corrupted fairy that now dwells in darkness. As a Shadar-Kai elf, she gains +2 Dexterity and +1 to Constitution, Proficiency with Perception, 60 feet of darkvision, resistance to necrotic damage, being charmed, immunity to sleep spells, and can enter an elven trance instead of sleeping. This archetype lacks pre-set one-use spells, but does allow her to teleport up to 30 feet and appear transparent as she does so, gaining resistance to all types of damage while moving like this starting at 3rd level.

As for her background, we’ll make her a Noble, since Queen Leah (yes, she has a name) refers to her as Your Exellency, which denotes Maleficent as a member of the aristocracy.

Powers and Abilities:

Sleeping Beauty (1959)

-appear and disappear in a flash of fire (teleports only herself, not Diablo) -create gusts of wind (possibly? She may have just blown down the doors) -has a Raven for a familiar -bestow curses, hexes, jinxes, etc. -bestow magical sleep -spy with Diablo (Flora is even afraid to speak her plan to hide Aurora out of fear that Maleficent might find out somehow, Diablo also later finds Aurora, acts as Maleficent’s alarm system, and leads her minions to where the intruders are.) -summon frost, snow, ice, or cold to kill Flora’s flowers -possibly some level of omniscience or divination? (Merrywhether states that Maleficent knows everything, interpret as you see fit) -shoot lightning with her staff. -Put out fires (the fire in the fireplace goes out when she lures Aurora) -possibly transmutation/relocating walls? (The Fireplace suddenly transforms into a passageway, but it’s unclear if that was already there, or if she created this doorway to lead Aurora to the spinning wheel. But once Aurora has been lead away from her room, Maleficent closes off the doorway that she created, and the fairies have to use magic to open the doorway again.) -Appearing as a floating green light (this may or may not be similar to when the three good fairies look like flying balls of colored light when in their shrunken forms.) -Hypnosis/Suggestion (Aurora clearly looks hypnotized while following Maleficent to the Spinning Wheel, only hesitating when she hears familiar voices calling her name, but is then compelled by Maleficent to touch the spindle) -creating inanimate objects out of thin air (she creates a black spinning wheel) -call lightning from the sky -raise a thicket of thorns -using non-physical form to fly/move quickly (as she flies from her tower in front of Phillip in some sort of spiral of sparks) -All the Powers of Hell (her minions are also a disgrace to The Forces of Evil) -transform into a dragon (with a fire breath attack) -weak to holy/radiant damage?

Suggested or Implied Powers These are powers she never really demonstrates in the film, but the other fairies can do them, so it’s possible she can too: -bestow gifts/blessings -shrink to a small size -change people into plants and back again -make inanimate objects float/act semi-conscious -create food -conjure clothing/don disguises -remove the other fairies’ wings -use magic to zap/weld off chains -conjure unholy/necrotic weapons and shields -turn creatures to stone -transform stones into bubbles, arrows into flowers, and boiling oil into a rainbow. -bestow an unholy/necrotic enchantment to a weapon -it’s unclear if her minions are mortal goblins that actually exist in the world, or if they’re demon minions she was given when she sold her service to Chernabog. Thus, it’s uncertain if she can summon more, or if she’s limited to the mortal beings in her service.

Kingdom Hearts

-create, summon, and control the Heartless -Teleporting (this time without columns of fire) -creating portals between worlds/planes/planets -bestow the power to control the Heartless -appear as a transparent projection -bring Oogie Boogie back to life (without the need of his body) -teleport Oogie Boogie and herself -Turn Santa Claus into a Heartless (or at least trying to) -Create a Wall of Fire -”awaken” the evil inside of people’s hearts/force people to stop repressing their evil impulses -make rocks float -summon meteors of heaven -conjure lightning indoors -move as a spiral of sparks/dark fire -Can be put to sleep by Ventus through magic

Converting her abilities to Spells and Feats

Before we can settle on a class, we have to decide what spells would fit under Maleficent based on her canon abilities, then pick a class or multi-classes that cover the widest selection of those spells and powers.

-Mobility     -Arcane Gate (Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard)     -Astral Projection (Cleric, Warlock, Wizard)     -Dimension Door (Bard, Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard)     -Misty Step (Sorcerer, Warlock, Wizard)     -Teleport (Bard, Sorcerer, Wizard) -Curses     -Bestow Curse (Bard, Cleric, Wizard)     -Hex (Warlock) -Nature’s Power     -Call Lightning (Druid)     -Control Flames (Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard)     -Gust of Wind (Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard)     -Lightning Bolt (Sorcerer, Wizard)     -Melf’s Minute Meteors (Sorcerer, Wizard)     -Sleet Storm (Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard)     -Ray of Frost (Sorcerer, Wizard)     -Wall of Thorns (Druid) -Transmutation     -Flesh to Stone (warlock, wizard)     -Polymorph (Bard, Druid, Sorcerer, Wizard) -Enchantment     -Charm Person (Bard, Druid, Sorcerer,Warlock, Wizard)     -Suggestion (Bard, Sorcerer,Warlock, Wizard) -Necromancy     -True Resurrection (Cleric, Druid) -Evil Flavored     -Hellish Rebuke (Warlock)     -Negative Energy Flood (Warlock, Wizard)     -Shadow of Moil (Warlock) -Heartless     -Conjure Shadow Demon (Sorcerer, Wizard)     -Infernal Calling (Warlock, Wizard)     -Summon Lesser Demons (Warlock, Wizard)     -Summon Greater Demon (Warlock, Wizard)

Get to Class

If you want to cover the majority of Maleficent’s powers, a Druid/Wizard combination is your best bet. However, Maleficent very clearly states that her power is directly given to her from Hell and that she serves the Forces of Evil, which is textbook Warlock. So, I would label her a Warlock/Druid. Specifically, a Fiend Patron Warlock, as in other Disney material, it’s stated that Maleficent serves Chernabog, the demon from Night on Bald Mountain. However, to offer multiple options, she could also be a Warlock sworn to the Raven Queen, which puts a lot of emphasis on having a Raven as almost an extension of oneself. As a Druid, she would fit well with the Circle of Land. Maleficent’s domain is in the lonesome, desolate mountains, which will also allow her to learn Lightning Bolt, despite being neither a Sorcerer, nor a Wizard.

Stats and Proficiencies

Considering all she had to do was appear and have people gasp in fear of her very presence, we can assume that Intimidation is likely a very highly trained skill of hers. She’s also good at lying to people, so Deception is another skill that would suit her nicely. Looking at how she handles herself, she’s very well-spoken, charming, and well-mannered until she snaps and starts hollering like a cat in heat. So, we should assume that Charisma is going to be her top stat. Next up for the Mistress of all evil is going to be her Wisdom stat, especially if you decided to make her a Maka Clan Elf. We see the wise, cunning side of Maleficent often in Kingdom Hearts as she frequently warns her weak-minded colleagues not to give in to the darkness, which she herself is too self-aware to succumb to. Next is Constitution, we can’t have her losing her concentration while she’s casting spells, like Oogie Boogie did while she was trying to turn Santa into a Heartless. Fourth is going to be Intelligence. It’s not super vital in most 5e builds I’ve seen, but the Mistress of All Evil is actually quite intelligent and clever. We especially see this again in the Kingdom Hearts series where she finds ways to corrupt the world in search of power. We’ll give her Strength next to last. I’m sure she can hit you with her staff or something. And we’ll be dumping Dexterity because this lady doesn’t even try to move in the original kingdom hearts game when you fight her. She’s one of the easiest boss battles because she’s so stationary. She gets better in Birth By Sleep where she’s teleporting around the field, but she still tends to stand still quite a lot. However, if you want to flip Dex and Strength for playability, no one would blame you.

So there you have it. Maleficent is a Noble Fallen Aasimar or a Noble variety of Elf, and is a Mountain Land Druid that has sworn a pact to either a Fiend (Chernabog) or the Raven Queen (via Diablo). What are your thoughts on this build? Do you think she should have been done differently? Did I make any mistakes in my analysis? And do you feel inspired to embrace your inner villain in your next campaign? Do you have a suggestion for who I should do next? Please, any feedback is welcomed and appreciated.
