Riders on the Swarm... dah dah dah dah dah.


Homebrew and House Rules


We need a class based around using a swarm, which lives within the character. Kind of like an anti/vermin druid, but not.

Something perhaps reminiscent of the worm that walks, crossed with d'vorah from MK:X?


I'll think about it as a class, I'm not sure how that would work. But I think it would make a great alternate form for a master Chymist and am considering incorporating it into my campaign. Thanks for the Idea seed.


Go with witch, lots of options for swarm flavor and specific swarm spells. Maybe go with Veneficus witch?

Liberty's Edge

I'm sure that you could also pull that off with a necromancer as well, because nothing says 'Dangerous master of the undead', than a necromancer riding a carpet/ or ball of skeletons/zombies.


Worm that walks, reflavored to insects. i think WoTR had one actually. Agreed that witch may have compatible flavor/options.


Isn't there a witch archetype that gets vermin affinity and ignores Distraction ability while existing w/in a swarm? Give them either a spell to assume a form the same as their swarm or a few levels of Druid for widshaping into their chosen swarm and case closed right?

No because then people start asking if they can be skeleton bards

And we all know that'd be incredibly silly

A hunter archetype where they have a swarm for an animal companion?


Check out the Entomancer in the Thunderscape setting book.
It's a vermin focused druid, basically.
