Your support means so much to me. Thank you!

Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!!! This is really promising.

I had followed some of the stuff in the Blog and seeing it all come together makes it even better.

Your excitement for this project means a lot to me! I’m working on it as I can; look for another article in the fey series this week, probably.

The full setting is called Aurikesh. I’ve written about bits and pieces of it in Harbinger of Doom, and it’s the source of a lot of the game content I post there. Check it all out here: http://www.brandesstoddard.com/category/aurikesh/

In Aurikesh, the Feywild (called the Hidden World) and the Shadowfell (called the Ghostlands) are reflections of the Living World (the in-game translation of “Aurikesh”). Emanations, really. The fey already control the Hidden World, and want to unseat the gods from control of Aurikesh and impose their own cosmic rules – poetic justice in place of moral law, aesthetics over quasi-rational magical physics, that sort of thing. At the same time, there are other enemies – such as the (Lovecraftian) Abominations and the avatar of death called the Nightwalker – who the fey and their agents ally with the gods and their agents to fight. (Which lets me have fey-serving PCs and god-serving PCs on the same team.)

This is an awesome comment. I just wanted to say that.

For my own homebrew setting I envision the “prime” world, Shadowfell, and Feywild as all having been one world long ago – fairly standard trope, but I’ve wanted MOAR Feywild in my D&D for, well, ever. If forever is since whenever I first saw Labyrinth. This is so in my wheelhouse.

Thanks for the clarification. So yes, this makes much more sense and now it feels more balanced.

Yeah, the broadening of spells is not that big an issue. It IS pretty strong when against beasts and fey, but then again this probably does not happen in all of the adventure.

Thanks, I really appreciate that!

I am so glad you’ve enjoyed the series!

I’ll work on rewording Fey Soul for clarity. The intent here is that you need to charm or frighten one creature (who doesn’t need to be a target of the thing you’re getting a damage bonus on). As long as that creature is charmed or frightened by you and within 60 ft., you deal extra damage. If you deal damage to two different creatures in the same turn – through a shatter spell, maybe – you can deal your extra damage to each of them. If you deal damage to the same creature twice in the same turn, let’s say through a Blade Pact warlock’s Extra Attack, you deal your extra damage only once.

Okay, you’ve understood the first part (Cha for initiative) and second (____ person spells affect fey and beasts) correctly, but I’ll need to reword the third (advantage on saves) part. The point here is that you are not fully of the Fey type, but you’re partway there – so things that cannot affect creatures of the Fey type (again, ____ person spells) grant you advantage on the save.

Considering how few Spells Known warlocks actually get, I don’t feel too bad about broadening targets for a few of them (charm/hold/dominate person, mainly). Obviously, I can still be wrong about this, but that was my thinking.
