![]() But more than just the forces of chaos as described in the Players Handbook, magic also comes from nature, from life, and even from death. Most of the casting classes have learned to control magic through rigid rituals and precise incantations. In my setting, all magic is wild magic, even though the players don’t realize it. ![]() However, what it does do is expand the usability and opportunity to use Wild Magic in your campaign setting. This homebrew does not modify the Wild Magic Sorcerer origin. My immediate response to this was the table needed to be rebuilt almost from scratch. It has fifty possible outcomes, and while they are chaotic, some of them represent too great a risk for any player to accept. I ran the scenario twice, and in the second session, the player who picked that character wanted the randomness and we ended up having a lot of fun with it.Īll this said, part of the problem with the way Wild Magic is presented in the handbook is that the Wild Magic Surge table is too small. The one exception was at a convention session where one of the characters I provided was a wild-magic sorcerer. I created a couple NPC wild-magic sorcerers, and even in these cases, the players don’t want to be around these characters. ![]() Unless a player just likes randomness, wild magic will rarely, if ever, be selected. When looking at the Sorcerer class as written, the dragon-blood origin far outweighs the wild-magic origin in abilities and benefits.Even though that random occurrence may be beneficial. It’s enough to know that a to-hit roll might miss or they might fail a saving roll, but even a remote chance (5%) of something completely random happening is something they avoid. Most players don’t like unpredictability.With two active groups and several one-off sessions, I’ve only had one player at a convention that embraced the concept of wild magic. I’ve been running 5e for a little over a year. We suspect that wild sloths actually live for much longer than this, but only time will tell.Revised Wild Magic Surge Table Introduction The oldest known sloth in the world just turned 50 years old and she lives at a zoo in Germany. All we have to go on is the lifespan in captivity, but sloths do not do well outside of their natural environment. No one knows how long they live forīecause sloths are so difficult to study in the wild, no one has ever followed an individual from birth until death and it is virtually impossible to accurately determine the age of an adult sloth. A single sloth can host up to 950 moths and beetles within its fur at once. Some species of fungi living in sloth fur have been found to be active against certain strains of bacteria, cancer and parasites! Sloth hair also provides home to an entire ecosystem of invertebrates - some species of which are found nowhere else on earth (like the ‘sloth moth’). Sloths have an unusual method of camouflage - cracks in their hair allow many different species of algae and fungi to grow which makes them appear green. When two sloths fight it is typically over access to a female for mating, and the aim of a sloth fight is to knock your opponent out of the tree. But don't worry, all sloths are anatomically designed to fall and survive - they can plummet from over 100 feet without injury (that’s the height of twelve double-decker buses). On average, a sloth will fall out of a tree once a week for its entire life. Sloths are anatomically designed to fall out of trees. Thankfully, sloths compensate for such poor vision by having a phenomenal sense of smell and a great spatial memory! Their bad eyesight also plays a key role in the sloths slowness - you can’t run around in the trees if you can’t see where you are going! As a result all sloths are colour-blind, can only see poorly in dim light and are completely blind in bright daylight. They have a very rare condition called rod monochromacy which means that they completely lack cone cells in their eyes. While there are many different theories, the likely explanation is that it’s all about communication and reproduction. ![]() This weird weekly routine remains one of the biggest mysteries surrounding sloth behaviour. Sloths are famous for their bizarre bathroom habits - they will only relieve themselves once a week and can lose up to a third of their body weight in one sitting! Furthermore, they will only do it on the ground after wiggling around the base of a tree to dig a little hole. ![]()
