This is despite the entire conceit of Wild Magic being based on random effects triggered by the use of magic, which in theory could alter the entire course of the game. However, Wild Magic is much less impactful than Dungeons and Dragons' other subclasses.
so if anyone has screen shots of the ones I've not been able to get, that'd be good.No feature of Dungeons and Dragons can necessarily be called "bad" due to the creative license wielded by its players. They told us that the surge table had 10 entries on it, but it seems there may be 10, plus the "keep surging" outcome. You turn everyone around you invisible or something like that. You set everyone around you on fire, or something like that. You regain sorcery points every turn, or something like that. You get a surge every turn/action/spell or something like this. I've heard of, but in over 100 surges tested and recorded I've not seen: I have:ġ) You create a dense cloud of fog, centred on yourself (as per fog cloud)Ģ) Until the end of your next turn, you can use a bonus action to teleport up to 30ft.ģ) Every Creature within 30ft becomes blurred (As per the spell)Ĥ) Everyone's (range not stated?) weapons deal extra force damage and always critĥ) Summon a mephit that is hostile to everything.Ħ) Swap targets with your target on every spell or cantrip (actually creature only)ħ) Your spells of 1st level or higher heal all creatures in a 10ft radius for 1d4 per spell level I'm working on a break down for their implementation of sorcerer, and if anyone has any screenshots of the surge pop-ups other than these ones, I'd appreciate it.
And the surges, especially the ones that don't affect gameplay, is the perfect place for Larian to go, I wanna write "wild" but I hate puns, so.crazy with homebrewing. I mean, these are all effects that in a TT session would have to be completely imagined by the players (unless someone went over the top and actually painted their body blue at the table.) but is easy to portray in a pc game. Illusory butterflies and flower petals flutter in the air within 10 feet of you for the next minute? Whenever you try, pink bubbles float out of your mouth? A Remove Curse spell can end this effect? (I know Remove curse is a lvl 3 spell but they could have changed it to need a long rest or a set amount of turns.) You grow a long beard made of feathers that remains until you sneeze, at which point the feathers explode out from your face? Haven't seen a summery of the ten available ones yet but can this happen: Is it just me that feel that a surge table of ten possibilities is way too low considering the game use a media format that actually can visually portray some of the quirkier ones from the original list?
