Absolutely going for a Fey type gym. I'd use magic and enchantments to weaken you and make you get super annoyed by the tiny CR 1/4 creature putting your elephant to sleep and stuff. Massive focus on using magic and stacking effects like invisibility and polymorph
I really like the idea of capturing a creature's essence, because it fits the idea presented in a lot of Digimon games, where you have to encounter wild Digimon in order to scan them and create your own from their data. It's even cooler because the more times you scan the same species of Digimon, the stronger the Digimon you create will be. In fact, maybe this could be an alternate take on the functionality of the orbs. Instead of just knocking a single creature out, you need to actively seek them where they live and be in their presence, whether by battling them or just studying their habits
So much nostalgia in this, I love it! as for capturing a monster. Give me a Demi Lich, it's Avoidance ability lets it take no damage from anything it passes a save on. I'm going shedinja!
incineroar is a fire dark type pokemon known for being one of the best pokemon ever in vgc it is the final form of the starter pokemon litten from the alola region, its hidden ability intimidate allows it to lower the attack stat of all opposing pokemon unless they have some form of negation such as inner focus. combined with amazing utility moves such as parting shot allows it to be incredibly annoying when reducing the stats of the opposition. this is why incinerorar is a prime example of powercreep in pokemon and one of the best vgc pokemon as for fusing i would fuse machamp for its no guard ability with any fast pokemon with a one hit ko move such as haxorus to destroy everything in the path
Favorite Pokemon: Infernape Favorite Generation of Pokemon: Gen 5 Favorite Digimon: Paildramon Favorite Season of Digimon: Digimon Adventure 02 What gym I would have: Constructs sounds like a really fun and varied one to do. Could get really wild with designs.
2:44 Very similar to the Ba and Ka in Yu-Gi-Oh and Egyptian Mythology. Btw, psychic. Typically my specialty. Though either the Gaomon line, Psychemon line(to Belphemon), or Coronamon line would be my signature/starter.
I was looking for something that will help me build my Pokémon DnD campaign, so this video was exactly what I was looking for, so thank you so much for this skill tree 🎉
This is so cool. I kind of wanna use this for a Digimon Pokémon or dinosaur king or yugioh style game. Like the creatures come from cards and the moves are also tied to cards would be fun
@@TheUglyGoblinOMG I just realized I can be a dinosaur king with this! "Dinosaur King is your destiny, yeah!" "Make your move!" "C'mon an' make your move!"
HOLDUP, you can play Slugterra with this! Well, it would take some changes maby converting movemenst speed to extra dmg or adding a duel mechanic where if two monsters colide they roll dmg and the highest one goes through but yeah, Slugterra the ttrpg is possible!🎉🎉🎉
Nice video. I make creature summoning a bit more difficult. 1. Catching a creatures essence, I call it a code, requires an orichalcum tag, the creatures fresh corpse (10min or less), & a 1 hour ritual. 2. The tagged code allows a piece of the summoners soul to manifest in the form of the code. 3. Summons level is based on the number of codes collected & HD of the creature. 4. Summon must be equal or higher level then the HD of code to take the shape.
As someone who runs a lot of campaigns where the players are the pokemon or in some cases digimon, I'd love to see this adapted to a system for making them playable, directly, especially considering digimon are fully sentient and capable of speech in general, as are some pokemon, I'd love to see your adaptation of this.
Mmmm could be fun! You could also just use this skill tree alone alongside a classless skill tree and allow the players to get the benefits from this skill tree :3
watched the video, thought it over for a couple days, watched it again, gave it another day of thought, and yeah, I like this system, it really feels more like Dungeons and Dragons but it has a Pokemon play-patern/ruleset rather than a TTRPG system made deliberately for Pokemon or Digimon, and I think the rules definetly feel like a Pokemon system and not a Digimon system, but I think overall it'd be really neat to play with these rules, although, have you looked into any other TTRPGs made deliberately for Pokemon or Digimon? I know of at least one for Pokemon and I don't remember it's name, but I do know of Digimon World Beta which is a modified Powered By The Apocolypse TTRPG System made for Digimon that's really good.
Aw I'm so glad you like it n_n yeah it was bound to lean one way or the other and since Pokemon is kiiinda more popular I leaned in the Pokemon direction a little more. But yes! I've looked into a few but haven't done a major deep dive with a lot of em yet
The Ugly Goblin RPG tool catalog is developing nicely. 5e is a nice jumping off point and everything you've put out so far works perfectly fine in it, but I'm excited to see you compile enough to either brand your own system or publish a print book compatible with multiple systems (5e, DC20, P2e, MCDM, etc) to get more people using these awesome mechanics!
Yeeees!!! Haha hoenstly yeah I figured Pokemon and Digimon would just be the most relatable but Absolutely n_n gosh a campaign where people battle with yugioh cards would be sick xD
@@TheUglyGoblin gotta finish the whole vid, but it can even be like types of orbs or "capture devices", like if you use a card instead of an orb your "mon" gets different traits or just levels up to get different play styles
My 6 favourite Pokémon are Typhlosion, Blastoise, Chestnaught, Obstigoon, Mightyena, and Marrowak. My favourite Digimon (and Rookie) is Ryudamon, favourite Champion is Zubaeagermon, favourite ultimate is Gigadramon, and favourite mega is Darkdramon
Oh daaamn :o so many sweet options! I love Tauros, Machamp and Turtwig (and a bunch of others xD ) And then I love Veemon and all of its evolutions :,3
For a new ball, you could have one that's based of attack roll, not improvised weapon attack, or one that can even do damage, to knock a creature unconcious.
When I first read this, I was expecting it to be like Pokemon Mystery Dungeon meets D&D where you play as the creatures themselves instead of some humanoid races that dominate most tabletop games.
I love it but I have a suggestion for the starter summon maybe let it start with 2 sp that way when you build your starter it just feels a lil more unique and custom But apart from that I love it.
As Always, great ideas! How would you think it would work with fights? How would you calculate "CR"? Do you think this could be playable in a pre-written setting? And would still be balanced if, let's say, just one member of the party decides to go "pokemon trainer" and the others just classless with your tree? Thanks a lot!
@@TheUglyGoblin i really like that some of the types heal instead of damaging or doing nothing, so why not just use aoe? Have types that heal from your damage types then just fire at everything.
Any creature? I am gonna have team of dreadon, kezef, dendar, stellar dragon, constalite and uhh pandorym My end game afterall is catching legends afterall
@@TheUglyGoblin well it's 6 :p Tho pretty sure straad is a small threat compared to other ones Draedons can create universes, Stellar dragons live outside crystal spheres (maybe even in shattered ones too as their hoard) Constalite are Constalations each they are massive Kezef the chaos hound eats souls Dendar is concept of nightmares and will eat the sun And Pandorym is a contender of most powerful entity if fully relases it destroys every god and the whole multiverse before moving into another one. Tho maybe I should replace kezef with the serpent that's vecna parent since they embody magic on greater scale than mystra Maybe for battle factory I use strad-
Does using Pokémon in battle violate the Geneva convention? They are technically prisoners after all. But judging on everyone’s dnd parties (including my own) I don’t think it’ll change much.
I remember hearing somewhere that pokeballs are designed so that pokémon can escape them, so the pokémon that you manage to catch choose to be with you.
@@badideagenerator2315ye they can go out with them Specially legendary ones Tho rocket and plasma seems to be imply otherwise tho those are the exception Gen 9 implies they have a lock mechanism

Absolutely! I have a discord and have just set up a channel for "summon builds" but you could totally share your ideas there :D
guys, i know were all thinking of pokemon or digimon, but were all missing a very clear thing we could do with this.

I think it can totally work, but os ideal if each person just hasblike one or two summons as they can really use up a lot of "ram"
My Digimon Partner’s evo line (from Rookie) would be:
Bearmon > Frigimon > Monzaemon > ShinMonzaemon
:O fuun
Dungemon!
Oh I love that!
What do you think of something like a Gundam or just mecha conversion for DnD?
I think a lot of people have probably done a waay better job than me :P also there is a ttrpg that literally does that :,3
