D300 Wild Magic Surge Table
How the table works
When you roll on this Wild Magic Surge Table you roll both a d100 and a d20 at the same time. The d100 shows you which row
to go to and the d20 shows you if the result is good, neutral or bad. A d20 result of 1-5 is a bad result, 6-15 is a neutral result, and
16-20 is a good result. If any effect tells you that the Wild Magic Surge will always be a certain type (good, neutral, or bad) then
you do not need to roll the d20 and only roll the d100 to see what you get.

Wild Magic Surge Tips
Good, Neutral, Bad Triggers
What causes a wild magic surge
My favorite thing about this table is that there is a spectrum of
Good/ Neutral/ Bad to it. With wild magic surge tables being 1. Rolling Nat 1’s / Nat 20’s
100% randomly organized… it limits its overall usefulness. 2. Enemies or Allies rolling Nat 1’s / Nat 20’s
You can still use this d300 table randomly if you want, in 3. Combat Starts
fact MOST of the time that is how I use it… BUT having 3 4. You/ Ally/ Enemy falls unconscious or dies
different categories accomplishes 2 things. 5. Take a certain type of damage
6. Something VERY specific
1. When the players look at the dice on the table, they will be
looking at the d20 and know O NO when its a low number
and OOOO YES when its a high number Delays
2. It lets you create items/ effects that have a GOOD or When the Wild Magic Surge occurs
BAD result baked into it so there is SOME control over the
1. No delay, it happens as SOON as the trigger happens (this
positive or negative impact of these things. Like creating

effects/ boons/ items with BUFFS of only Good effects or
2. Next skill check/ saving throw/ attack roll they make
cursed items/ effects/ or even monsters that have Bad effects. 
3. 1 min/ 1 hour/ 1 day after the trigger happens
4. If its in combat it can have a 1 round delay all the way
Trigger, Delay and Duration through when combat ends
5. At the DM’s discretion when “the time is right” (my
On ALL of these Wild Magic Surges I do not usually have a personal favorite)
specific time duration on how long each of these lasts. I also
do not usually put exact DC’s on saving throws or even exact
damage dealt. There are tables for DM’s to deal appropriate Durations
damage for challenge level if you need that (its on the back of How long the Wild Magic Surge effect lasts
most DM screens) BUT I want these things to be customizable
1. Rolls each round for when the effect ends (Usually Wisdom
to what makes sense/ what level you are encountering these
or Constitution saves)
wild magic surges at. I want this table to be useful for a level
2. 1d6 rounds later the effect ends
3 one shot… AND for a FULL Campaign where you can use
3. 1 minute / 1 hour / 1 day
it from level 1-20 and never have to worry about it falling off.
4. Permanent until removed by side quest/ spell of some kind
You can choose how powerful these effects are. 
5. On DM discretion (my personal favorite)
Triggers are for what causes these surges to happen (as
explained in the items below as well. But you can easily add in
wild magic into your game / travel / city / group. 
Delays are if the wild surge happens the moment the trigger
happens… or if there is a delay and the surge happens later on.
These are fun for making it harder on the players to figure out
what exactly is causing this to happen
Duration is probably the most important because I want it
to be up to the DM how long this thing lasts. What makes
the most sense for the story? They just have this cool effect
on them and LOVE it… maybe its a permanent thing. Or
maybe there is a really bad effect that they HATE and would
be awful to have… well have it drop off right after combat is
over or they wake up the next morning totally fine. YOU as
the DM know what would tell the best story and be the most
memorable. Maybe have that negative effect be “permanent”
and the place they are going to now has a mystical healer in
town that can cure them of this effect… for a price (side quest/
story hook / etc)

1st level
Wild Magic Surge
Once per turn, when you cast a spell of 1st level or higher, you
must make a “Surge Check” and roll your “Surge Die”. Your
Surge Die starts off as a d12 and becomes more unstable over
time. If you roll a 1 on the Surge Die then a wild magic surge is
triggered and you roll on the Wild Magic Surge Table.
Additionally, when you tap into your meta magic, you
increase the chance of a wild surge happening. For every
sorcery point you use, increase the number needed to trigger
a wild magic surge by 1. So, if you cast a spell and use 1 sorcery
point, rolling a 2 or lower on your Surge Die, when you make
your “Surge Check”, will trigger a Wild Magic Surge.
Upon rolling a 1, your Surge Die becomes more unstable
and becomes a d10, when you trigger another wild magic
surge it erodes again to a d8, d6, then finally a d4. When you
take a long rest your Surge dice recovers by 1 stage (would go
from a d6 to a d8)
Tides of Chaos
You manipulate the wild energies of chance and chaos to gain
advantage on one attack roll, ability check, or saving throw.
Once you use this you must finish a long rest before you can
use this feature again.
Additionally, you instantly regain the use of this once you
make a “Surge Check”
6th level
Bend Magic
For the next minute after you make a surge check, anytime
magic is used within 120 feet of you (spells, magic items,
anything the DM considers “magic”) a Wild Magic Surge
is triggered. Any surges you trigger during this time are
considered good, or work in your favor. As soon as a wild
surge occurs you snap out of it and the Bending Magic is over.
14th level
Controlled Chaos
You start to gain some control over the Wild Magic within
you. Whenever you trigger a wild magic surge, the d20 you
roll for Bad, Neutral, Good can only be “Bad” on a result of
a 1. If you roll 2, 3, 4 or 5 it is now considered to be Neutral.
Additionally, anytime you cast a spell you can spend a
Sorcery Point to prevent you from rolling a “Surge Check”.
18th level
Sorcery Surges
Whenever you cast a spell that triggers a wild magic surge
you are able to spend additional sorcery points for free. You
can spend up to 3 sorcery points on the spell you cast or on
the wild magic surge effect (if it’s possible/ the DM allows it)
