New 5e Variant Rule

I have created a new variant rule called Mythic Actions (5e Variant Rule).

Akura`m

The Akura`m franchise is coming into dnd, starting with the Ruler of Warriors and a Soldier of Akura`m, but more are arriving. Prepare to explore the castles and strange lands of Akura`m with DnD wiki! The following is a list of Akura`m characters and monsters I would like to add the Akura`m franchise page of DnD wiki:

Mangler (5e Creature)

Akura`m Soldier (5e Fighter Subclass)

Stunkoon (5e Creature)

Grosun, Dogfolk Lord (5e Creature)

I`zarfaria, The Terror of the Mountains (5e Creature)

Akura`m (5e Race)

Stunkoon (5e Race)

Lord Sorak (5e Creature)

…and more.

Please, I'd love to hear the opinions and comments of other users and admins here or on the Akura`m franchise talk page!

PCs

Is there a place on this wiki for creating PCs with all of the names, weapons, features, ability scores, etc. and displaying them? If not, that may be a good idea to look into. It might be fun for some users, especially if the page allows you to use homebrew classes, races, backrounds, and equipment!

I believe PCs were once put on the site when games were still run here, but I don't think I've seen one running in recent times, if ever. Some people put what characters they're playing on userpages, but that seems to be as far as it goes. --SwankyPants (talk) 11:59, 12 October 2021 (MDT)

Thanks for the answer! Could you show me an example of a userpage character? --User:MythicActions2000

Only example I can remember is User:Red Leg Leo's thing on his page. Pretty minimal but it's something. --SwankyPants (talk) 13:04, 12 October 2021 (MDT)

Thanks again! --User:MythicActions2000

Need a Link

Can someone please give me a link to a page listing all blocked users and the barnstar page?--—The preceding unsigned comment was added by MythicActions2000 (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts.

Why do you need this exactly?--Yanied (talk) 13:32, 15 October 2021 (MDT)

It's not a requirement; I'm just curious. --MythicActions2000 (talk) 13:50, 15 October 2021 (MDT)

Well the barnstar is a template, and I don't believe there is a DPL page for it with all users. You could probably look at what links to the template page. As for blocked users, that's on the admin blocked user list I believe.--Yanied (talk) 13:44, 20 October 2021 (MDT)

Teamwork?

Hey, saw the post on my talk page. I'm willing to help with whatever you've got, but I myself don't really have any ideas yet to be thrown together. When I do get one, I try my best to immediately use it on whatever garbage I trudge up in the incomplete lists.

Either way, was there anything in particular you had in mind? --SwankyPants (talk) 10:57, 15 October 2021 (MDT)

I was thinking of creating a 5e Race with maybe some unique features such as being able to innately cast some exotic spells. --MythicActions2000

Alright, exotic how? The level of the spells? How they're cast? There's a lot of ways to make it unique.

Also good to start thinking about lore stuff, how they look, what role they play in societies, how they act, those sorts of things. These exotic spellcasting capabilities might affect this, or the lore might give you ideas for other traits. --SwankyPants (talk) 12:18, 15 October 2021 (MDT)

About lore, I think it would be interesting to make a race that is strong and tough, but also smart and intelligent. They would make good fighters and good wizards, or an even better Eldrich Knight! They would live in grand, warmongering kingdoms with high education and intellectual archives. But, what do you think? --MythicActions2000

Not a bad start, but they sound a bit too perfect. Being warmongering helps but it's really starting to ride on the edge of the sequel to elves. Perhaps there's one sort of fatal flaw in their society, perhaps insurrections. Like, they all think a bit too highly of themselves, and end up splitting their kingdoms into a variety of houses warring against eachother, leading their war efforts to be small and not all consuming. There's other ways you could deal with it, but that's what came to mind first. --SwankyPants (talk) 12:42, 15 October 2021 (MDT)

Not a bad idea! What about their intellectual powers? Would that make them like innate spellcasters who use intelligence or something totally different? --—The preceding unsigned comment was added by MythicActions2000 (talk • contribs) . Please sign your posts.

Depends. You could put stick to int-based innate spellcasting, usually implying being taught, but innately magical would be either Wisdom or Charisma. If you don't want them magical, you could translate it into skills if you really want. --SwankyPants (talk) 12:57, 15 October 2021 (MDT)

I was also thinking about a magical, unique action they can take. But now: their appearances. Would they have giant heads to display intellect or wise owl-like eyes? Maybe a tail, horns, or feline ears. What's your thoughts on appearances? --MythicActions2000 (talk) 13:27, 15 October 2021 (MDT)

Sorry, was trying to take a break from things for a bit.

As for physical description, that's really just up to you. If you really want to think hard about it, consider where they might've come from, and take bits and pieces from that, like how elves share some traits with fey. Or you could just give them whatever the hell you want. Whatever floats your boat.

For that special action though? That's really broad. Nothing I'm really in a place to advise for. --SwankyPants (talk) 13:19, 17 October 2021 (MDT)

Okay, I'll say they look almost exactly like humans but with owl ears and eyes and a beak-like mouth. I'm guessing they should probably be Medium. As for ability score improvement, I was thinking +2 for Str and Int, though that might be a bit powerful. They should probably also also have darkvision 60 ft. and keen sight because of their owl eyes. What do you think? --MythicActions2000 (talk) 13:28, 17 October 2021 (MDT)

Philosopher Template

The philosopher template seems very pointless. Do you have any further plans for this? If not, I think it ought to be deleted.--Yanied (talk) 13:42, 15 October 2021 (MDT)

I wanted a fun spin on the normal April Fools tags, but you can execute deletion if you want. Thanks for asking. --MythicActions2000 (talk) 14:47, 15 October 2021 (MDT)

Ah, I see. From the name, I thought it was a custom WIP template or something (bc philosophers ruminate and stuff). As is, it is pretty much just an AF tag.Thanks for understanding. --Yanied (talk) 14:52, 15 October 2021 (MDT)

Art Request

Hey, I saw you're request and am happy to provide some art:) --Dinomaster337 (talk) 17:16, 16 October 2021 (MDT)

Thanks! I would like a creature photo that looks like a sauropod dino but with sharp teeth and maybe some small purple lightning on their teeth. Also with a jungle landscape in thed background. Let me know when you have something, please. Also please let me know when you've got the message or have anything to say about this photo.--MythicActions2000 (talk) 15:38, 16 October 2021 (MDT)

Disney Villains

I've started making Disney villains for the website starting with Gaston. Below is a list of to-do Disney villains. Feel free to add more if there is a specific Disney Villain you want me to make:

• Mor-du from Disney/Pixar's Brave
• Firebird from Disney's Fantasia 2000
• Captain Hook from Disney's Peter Pan
• Jafar from Disney's Aladdin

Troll Warning

Check to see their block status before putting up the troll warning. Most of the time, IPs are permablocked if they vandalize pages. --Lavie (talk) 17:43, 22 October 2021 (MDT)

On that note, he immediately started vandalizing as soon as you put that on his talk page. Please stop spurring these people on, it only makes it worse. --SwankyPants (talk) 17:44, 22 October 2021 (MDT)

I know what is going on. But I must let those attackers know we have the power and they know what they're is insane and blind. --MythicActions2000 (talk) 17:47, 22 October 2021 (MDT)

You also wasted your time writing all of that, probably giving them a good laugh. They know it's as easy to revert as it is to vandalize. They aren't stupid. Stop treating these people as equals worthy of this response. --SwankyPants (talk) 17:49, 22 October 2021 (MDT)

More like we don't need a status symbol for them. They get deleted anyway. You are a bit trigger happy with these templates. --Yanied (talk) 17:52, 22 October 2021 (MDT)

Hi, can you please not mini-moderate, MythicActions. We don't need a long spiel like you had with {{Troll Warning}}. 99% of the time trolls just want attention, and posting multiple paragraphs about how terrible a user is just fuels the fire. Just report them and move on. — Geodude (talk | contribs | email)‎‎ . . 17:54, 22 October 2021 (MDT)

I'm very sorry. I just got carried away trying to help you admins with the vandal problem by doing something other than banning them, which of course I can't do. I'm not an admin (I'm not worthy to be one, either, I guess), so I guess I'll just have to leave it to you. sorry. bye. --MythicActions2000 (talk) 18:12, 22 October 2021 (MDT)

Strange Coincidence?

Hey Mythic. What are your connections exactly with the other users EnduringOne5, Javan9, Atomic-Defender, Stareater666, and Acidrat12345? It appears you all share the IP address linked to the recent rash of vandals that have been created in the wiki.--Yanied (talk) 00:34, 24 October 2021 (MDT)

I will notice I've noticed some very strange behavior between EnduringOne5 and Mythic. For example, they have never been online at the same time (to my knowledge). Also, EnduringOne5 and Mythic seem to have the same beliefs- highly religious, think Elvis Presley is a "perverted dopehead"- and always stand up for one another and respond to each other's comments. In addition, when Mythic proposed the psittacosaurus to become a featured article nominee, EnduringOne5 was the only one to respond, in support of it becoming a featured article. I'm not saying they're the same person, I'm just saying that there's been a lot of similar behavior between the two of them, and I wouldn't be surprised if they were connected. I also find it strange that the vandals would target MythicActions2000 in particular. I understand Yanied, Nuke the Earth, SwankyPants, and even Lavie being targeted, as they are some of the most active, most prominent users on the Wiki. But MythicActions? While they are active, they only joined a little over a month ago. It's just something I found odd. Not to mention how they went very in-depth while analyzing the Filthy Goblin Pest page- I don't think any person would think to look at every 3rd letter of a rant unless they were trying very hard to analyze it or if they knew it was there. Now that I know they have the same IP, it's starting to make a lot more sense. I'm not saying they're responsible for the recent string of vandalism, I'm just saying there are a lot of similarities. --MarshDASavage (talk) 08:17, 24 October 2021 (MDT)

Okay, this is wierd. First, I'd like to point out a few things. I actually do know Enduringone5 and we've done a couple campaigns together. Also, the IP adress you're thinking of is that of a set of public computers, which I use commonly. D&D is kinda popular where I live, and I wouldn't be surprised if other people use this wiki on the same set of public computers I use, but I didn't immediately suspect Atomic defender or Javan9, and I totally had no idea AcidRat12345 lives where I do. I also know some people (not friends) who enjoy vandalizing websites, though I didn't hear anything about them vandalizing this wiki in particular. If they have been, that would explain Stareater666, unless Stareater is really an Acidrat sockpuppet like AR and The Revenge of AcidRat12345, who are very likely to be sockpuppets built for "vengence". If you want me to try and find AcidRat or a vandal, than I'd be happy to help subdue some attackers. The campaign I mentioned to Nuke the Earth that I'm doing is also a public one, and many different people have played it, possibly Javan9 or Atomic Defender are included. I'll see what I can find out, cool? --MythicActions2000 (talk) 15:13, 25 October 2021 (MDT)

No need for you to go out and do anything drastic.--Yanied (talk) 16:09, 25 October 2021 (MDT)

Of course. I was kinda exaggerating. I hope you understand my statements. --MythicActions2000 (talk) 16:20, 25 October 2021 (MDT)

All right then, cool.--Yanied (talk) 16:28, 25 October 2021 (MDT)

If this is all true, then I think I owe you a formal apology. I'm very sorry for accusing you of being behind the recent vandalism spree. I saw a lot of weird things that didn't add up, and immediately jumped to the first, and simplest, conclusion that came to my mind. I'm truly sorry for coming off so hard on you. This explanation makes a lot more sense than the one I concocted. Now, just be sure to log out of your account every time you leave one of the computers. We wouldn't want AcidRat getting ahold of your account. You seem like a great person and, in the future, a very valuable member of the wiki as a whole. --MarshDASavage (talk) 18:49, 25 October 2021 (MDT)

I'm sorry also if this seemed like an out of the blue insinuation.--Yanied (talk) 19:59, 25 October 2021 (MDT)

Psittacosaurus nomination

I'm just curious as to why you nominated your own article to become a featured article. It's very taboo to nominate your own pages to be featured articles. It feels as if you were proud of your homebrew and convinced yourself that it was some of the best on the wiki and it deserved to be recognized as exemplary, at least to me. It just doesn't feel right to me that someone nominated their own homebrew to be recognized as a featured article, a collection of the best articles on the wiki. That should be decided by the community, not the creator of the homebrew. --MarshDASavage (talk) 20:56, 24 October 2021 (MDT)

There is precedent of users having nominated their own works for FAs. Many would concur with you, Marsh, that it feels a bit different when you advertise your own stuff. But no, it is not a codified taboo by any means. It is just a consideration sort of thing.--Yanied (talk) 20:59, 24 October 2021 (MDT)

Still, it just feels so wrong. Not to mention that they did it less than a day after they finished the page. The featured articles should be articles chosen by the wiki, not by the creator. --MarshDASavage (talk) 21:04, 24 October 2021 (MDT)

That is true. FAs usually have some testing to be done or at least theory crafting with numbers to ascertain how it holds its water.--Yanied (talk) 21:56, 24 October 2021 (MDT)

No need for the fuss. I was just experimenting a bit; trying out the FA process on a well made page before trying any other pages. --MythicActions2000 (talk) 16:51, 25 October 2021 (MDT)
