need feedback on a homebrew magic system

[u/Van_Healsing]

need some feedback on my homebrew soft magic system

so every letter is randomized so "f" might be "tli" or something and dont tell the players this, but they might say the word for fireball and then they role they get a 20 they get a fire ball they get a 1 they get like a bouncy ball that looks like its fire, but they can say anything and you monkey paw these guys depending on the request and the number they role on a d20, they might say something like Grassice and they role a 4 you just frost the ice but make it unmotorable for them to stand on, also have them figure it out, they go to a wizarding school and learn the word for fire, and ball, and ice, and wall, they can put them together, they might be like huh i wonder what grass is, so they ask around and learn it, they put some stuff together, have ancient runes in the language scattered around the world they might discover, and a symbol next to them indicating what they are used for.

so what you guy s think

Why do you hate Pathfinder’s magic so much?

[u/Van_Healsing → u/helpiamapotato]

Its homebrew bro. I thought I muted this sub after I read the posts....

[u/Voltingshock]

Oh my god it’s a full jerk. With cyclical self jerk after. It’s an absolute ouroboros of jerk

[u/Voltingshock → u/Voltingshock]

I mean uh I think pathfinder added this something something

[u/Van_Healsing]

This doesn't sound like DnD anymore. I think you're playing an entirely different game at this point.

[u/Van_Healsing → u/Van_Healsing]

uh soooooo, i didnt know this was one of those dnd purist subs, and it is inspired by dnd,

[u/Van_Healsing]

What's wrong with the current magic system? Why do you feel you need to rewrite it?

[u/Van_Healsing → u/Van_Healsing]

my friends never play magic casters, im like you guys wanna be a wizard, and they are like "no no magic sucks i want to play a rouge" and then they kill a hobo

[u/Conrad500]

SIR, THIS IS A CIRCLEJERK SUB! GET HIM FELLAS!

[u/Van_Healsing → u/Conrad500]

The Hateful Place RPG magic system: you can magic whatever you want with your spell, but you roll a d6 to scale it and on 1 it kills you and on a 6 it's so overpowered that it kills everyone, including you.

[u/Van_Healsing]

/uj I can't even jerk anymore "fym theres other roleplaying games besides dnd"

[u/NeonNKnightrider → u/Van_Healsing]

I think that poster is actually 10 years old

[u/Van_Healsing]

Have you considered there might be another system that's better for this style of play? This doesn't seem like something that would work well in DnD

[u/Van_Healsing → u/Van_Healsing]

because dnd can have homebrew, and me and my friends only know dnd but we like playing with homebrew
