  • In this video I discuss the mechanics behind creating a cult in DnD 5e. Specifically, I examine the rules as written in several sources to determine what rules may be relevant to that endeavor.

    Maybe have one of the first cultists have a farm and have them gift that as a compound? Might make for a good "foreman" as well who shows new cultists the ropes and puts them to good use helping on the farm, building housing etc.
    This will enable lower level parties without the spare income to build up the cult slowly over time.

    So glad I found this video! I have a player who wants to start expanding his cult out past the handful of followers he already has. I wasn't sure how to go about it mechanically, but this was perfect! Really appreciate you putting this together!

    I personally made a table based off of the Infernal Deals section of Decent into Avernus as well as the content on what Archfey contracts can reward you (which seemed like a polished version of the Infernal Deals)
    I love all the resources you put together to make this a smooth system. I'm definitely going to review all of this and take the group patron approach so its all bundled nicely under one roof. Amazing video!

    Definately helpful for an enterprising necromancer who may want some living underlings.

    This would play very well with MCDM’s Stronghold & Followers

    Thanks for summing up all those mechanics!
    My DM and I are currently working on the specifics of the cult my character is building and your video is a great help.

    Also, specific demon lords and arch devils have benefits for their cultists, such as Yehegeru (the gnoll one) gives his cultists rampage (extra attacks on a kill) and Gritzzt (the sexy one) gives his cultists pleasure from pain (a reaction attack after being hit). You could talk to your dm about deities giving benefits like that, otherwise fiends actually give you benefits for being their cultists (aside from the other benefits)

    A whole game centered around this would go pretty hard, also how dare you do me like that man 😢

    My Enchantment Wizard's goal in the current campaign I'm part of is to make a cult that worships him as their God. I play him as the party face most of the time considering most of the party are martial classes.
    Me being an Enchantment wizard I can rp it as I am actively brainwashing my followers and so far the roleplaying has been real good as my cult gains traction.

    This is a great video! This can also be used to flesh out an NPC cult that is more prominent in the campaign.
    Like stores, inns, towns, etc. bringing a gold value to the worth of the thing in question can bring life to how run down or luxurious somewhere can be!

    Well I definitely will be making a cult in my next DnD 5e game!

    Funny story I already have a cult in my campaign. I inherited a temple and powers from a god who died, and in the temple was a bunch of followers that were so devoted to their god for so many generations that they couldn't make their own decisions (one time i told them "shut up" and they took a vow of silence).
    So yeah I already have a cult and I have used followers for side quests.

  • @theprinceofawesomeness

    I sent this to my DM, who have agreed with me that in secret from the party i am able to establish a cult who worships me as a (false) god. My character is a Thurge Wizard who uses divine cleric magic in mockery and hatered of the gods (having found ways to emulate cleric powers throue thair arcane wizardry)
    And yes, Cult of the Lamb is my favorit game in 2022.
