I have the typical min max warlock in my campaign.

8 INT and 8 Wis. 18 CHA

He is creating an elaborate plan to overthrow the kingdom by convincing surrounding kingdoms to stop trade routes, then send their king a chariot full of food and convince the soldiers their king doesn't care and is living I'm luxury while they all are dying of hunger. There is much more details and planning involved.

I don't mind the plan, I like it but, I can not belive a 8 INT and 8 WIS character can think of a plan like that.

How do I seperate the players intellect from their characters?

Posting this here as I have always thought the Sorrowsworn were super cool but never had enough variety to cover all the emotions people feel in the Shadowfell where I am currently running a campaign

That’s when I found this model from Comet Lord miniatures. It’s one of a series of his sculpted mini STLs and I would recommend checking them out.

I 3D printed this using a Bambu A1 mini then painted it up. I really love how it turned out!

Lore:

The power of a Dark Lord comes from pains, loss and fear. Don't underestimate a mere foot soldier, because even one can become something fearful, a Dark Lord. He watched his comrades fall, and he endured the pains from inside, long enough to summon the power of darkness. Who shall stand in his way!?

Summoning the Dark Lord power will sacrifice many soldiers to feed god pain. Yet, it is also a wild card, a risky move. If you endure too much pains, it can cause a fatal death to the soldier. You should know best when to stop the pains to keep your trump card not to be overused.

Vala'thrael-the Dark Lord:

There is a formidable lord among Dark Lords, his name is Vala'thrael, the Ashen Lord. He endures pain and fuel it as his power. Vala'thrael is the pain, and any beings could feel pain even a god. Valathrael doesn't have physical form, he is a concept. His power is on conceptual level power, he can be anyone or in any god or any beings. This is why even a god will fear his name. The Dark lord don't need a throne, he exists only because someone or something make him there. Wars, conflicts, loss, or even a sensitive heart can spark the fire of pain. He knows he is inevitable part of every life. Anyone can be him, do you think of anything can erase him from existence!?

That is a short story of my OC

The soldier had no name, but then one day he earned it from the people who worshiped him

Weapons

His burning blade convert the pain into power, to burn everything into ash for vengance. The horn grows one side to show that he is not fully losing control the Dark power, he manages well enough to forge it into his.

Goal

The background shows he is in middle of battle, thousands of arrows are flying in his flank just describe that he is not coming forward to his enemies, he is going for what they don't expect.

My artwork

I also can do splash art style. But I couldn't, the idea came to me so fast, so I got to drew it down immediately, no time to render it in different style. I kept the background plain and simple, cuz I had no idea what to do next.

This is my first time posting something related to D&D, hope you like it.

So, I've been playing with this friend of mine for a few years now, and he's a really good DM, he creates very good plotlines, makes memorable characters and so on, but he has very strict rules for his setting, specially regarding magic classes. Like there are innate magic users, like sorcerers and bards, and for some of them, you need to plan out very specific scenarios that happened during their birth for them to be like that. And then there's wizards. I used to play as a wizard in his former campaign, and at the beginning I was very interested in him (PC) as a whole, but as time went on, I was more and more uninterested in playing him, mostly because the DM developed a magical system, that's REALLY in depth, and very mathematical, specially for wizards specifically. So because of that, I couldn't just "learn" a spell when I leveled, for example, I needed to explain my research process, using his system to create said spells, and well, the more I played, the less I felt like I was a good player for a smart character, BECAUSE I'M NOT SMART, I'm a theater kid, and no matter how much I tried to "seem smart" I just couldn't understand his system, specially the "cans and can'ts" of spells. There's another wizard PC in the party and he, differently than me, is an actual mathematically smart person and his character developed really well, and I realized the DM favored him because of how he used his system, which is fair, but I can't help but feel frustrated with myself because I can't develop like that because I didn't understand the system very well, and believe me, I tried to ask help understanding it, but I guess I'm just too dense. Anyway, I eventually dropped the character and am playing a charisma based character, which is way more like me, but I like playing tabletop RPGs to play as people who AREN'T like me :( I feel kind of bad, I really wanted to engage with his creation, because he clearly put a lot of time and thought into it, but I find it too hard to get it, and I don't really know how to keep doing it, and I'm feeling like I want to drop this game and stop playing it because of my own frustrations. Anyway, thoughts on how I could attempt to regain the will to play with them? Thanks in advance and sorry for any grammar mistakes.

Sketch of Andros and Lagaos the twins of House Malcides, They are siblings of a campaign I am currently playing at, abandoned by their parents at a young age due to their power and circumstances, they were left in the care of a clergy woman who manipulated the church to accept and adopt them through a noble house, the House of Malcides.

They struggle to keep their powers hidden due to the nature of what they are, considered as an abomination by the country itself, the very reason they were abandoned by their parents as an act of self sacrifice to make sure they stay alive and have a chance for a proper secured life, at the cost of their true nature being buried.

Casual marine exploration turned nightmare, Adapted to the high pressure and the darkness of the depths, this is truly a formidable foe. Razor fangs and a poisonous stinger will make all deep see strolls campaign ending.

Took inspiration from a rare tropical fish for the colorway, and it turned out better than expected, let me know what you think.

Imagine your party’s light cantrip slowly fading as they descend into the Abyssal trench, only for these bioluminescent scales to be the last thing they see. A true apex predator for any nautical campaign!

I've spent way too much time in airports this month due to repeated flight cancellations (thank the snow), but I was at least inspired to build a quick diorama that mashes up airport security with Dungeons & Dragons. I couldn't shake from my head the image of some unimpressed security officer drawing an oversized hammer from a Bag of Holding, and I'm pleasantly surprised by how well it translated into LEGO!
