"I named her Chirp because that's the only sound she could make. She began to follow me when I plucked her from the river, thinking I had saved a drowning butterfly. She flutters beside me, behind me, and ahead, speaking in bird and cricket songs that I will never understand.

Sometimes, she sits on my shoulder or my hand, and waits expectantly for me to speak. She listens to every word, enjoying the sound of my voice. She watches as I carry out my tasks, and once she understands, she tries to help. She eats from my plate, drinks from my cup, and sits by my bed and watches as I drift off to sleep.

She is pleasant and unnerving. I do not know what she wants, but I can see she is thinking as she watches me. I have not been sick in months, or tired, or sore. A string of good luck has come in small places, and little inconveniences seem now extinct.

She does not leave my side, ever. Even if I lock her out or myself in, the solitude is temporary. Suddenly, somehow, she's always there with me again, smiling, chirping, and waiting for me to talk to her.

Little Chirp, who I plucked from the river. To whatever end, I am bound to you now."

 [OC] Dnd character that I drew.
Posted: 2026-08-23T01:47:41+00:00
Author: /u/okvl_artisthttps://www.reddit.com/user/okvl_artist

Hello again :)

A DND character I drew. A bit of text from the description:

" Name: Athanasia Genoveva von Osmium (Athana Suomi)

Race: human princess, aasimar.

Class: Paladin.

Determined, responsible.

"

I understand, it's a very brief description. But sometimes that's all they leave. There were also some other references, but I don't think it's a good idea to attach them here :D

I hope you liked what I did :)

 What was the official reasoning on subclasses at lvl 3?
Posted: 2026-08-23T06:01:05+00:00
Author: /u/jamadmanhttps://www.reddit.com/user/jamadman

Was there ever an offical statment or reasoning given to why every class gets their subclass at level 3?

I understand with 5.5e that that WotC wanted to streamline the character progression across all classes, which I am for, but lvl 3 just straight up makes some classes weird to role-play from lvl 1 unless you've allready decided your subclass and talked to your DM.

The reasoning I can think of for not having them at lvl 1 was becuase it would be even more intimidating for new players to make a character. Then lvl 2 is the tutorial for leveling up with out having to many decisions thrown at you.

I am hoping thats the reasoning anyway, and it wasnt just becuase it would be easier to code for online platforms.

 NPC names, but I want you PC names.

Author: /u/mackaronidadhttps://www.reddit.com/user/mackaronidad

Just as the title, I would like your character names and title, for NPC's, so I can build a better world since names from only my brain is rather limited. My personal favorites I've done was "King Razamgeld the Fudd keeper of the crystal of the Magui" and "Maximo Pontifico de la Roshambough the 3rd" and his sister " Minima Pontifica the first of her name."What's your favorite character name and title? So I can steal them and use them in my upcoming campaign. Thank you in advance!

 [OC][Art] Pandora, Dark Elf Artificer
Posted: 2026-08-22T17:43:11+00:00
Author: /u/tenthouzinhttps://www.reddit.com/user/tenthouzin

"Pandora is an old, mysterious and eccentric dark elf artificer from a forgotten land. After a dire accident she lost her body and now resides in a hat, through which she controls the puppet bodies she makes. She comes off as cold and detached from the world at large, with her only obvious interest being the pursuit of crafting, especially arcane items."

Had a fun time drawing this character, it's not often I get to render a 4 armed puppet elf.

 Cursed Hexblood [OC][ART]

Author: /u/SkurGZGhttps://www.reddit.com/user/SkurGZG

Hello, I’m Skur.

A few days ago I finished this piece portraying a Hexblood Warlock, cursed with the “Eye of the Hag.” A magical lantern, which is both his source of power and also his doom, making his body twisted and corrupted beyond recognition, as you can see under the layers of clothing he uses to hide himself.

Without the veil covering his head, you can see a skull mask, obscuring the horror that hides beneath.

I hope you like it!

 How do i speed up combat?
Posted: 2026-08-23T01:46:39+00:00
Author: /u/nazhexhttps://www.reddit.com/user/nazhex

My group has 5 players, and I know that is not ideal if you want fast combat.

We have been struggling to make combat both enjoyable and quick enough that everyone gets their turn without it dragging on.

A few problems I have noticed:

- Players talk over each other during someone else's turn.

- Some players do not think about what they want to do until their turn starts.

- Some still do not know their own character sheet very well.

- Players do not always listen to what happens during other people's turns.

- Some players can finish a turn in about 30 seconds, while others can take 5 minutes.

- Players sometimes ask for the same information several times because they were not paying attention earlier.

The strange part is that we are not a new group. We already completed a full level 1 to 16 campaign together, which took about three years. Everyone knows how D&D works at this point.

Today one of my players invited me to be a player in a one-shot he was running, and it really highlighted the problem for me.

We had four level 5 characters fighting two enemies, an Earth Elemental and an Invisible Stalker. In three hours of combat, we only completed four rounds.

I was able to do something during rounds 1 and 2, but after that I got stuck in the Invisible Stalker's vortex and could not really participate. I do not mind losing turns because of an enemy ability, that is part of the game. The problem was that because each round took so long, losing two rounds meant I spent a huge part of those three hours just waiting.

That made me realize how bad slow combat can feel from the player's side as well.

I do not want to put everyone on a strict timer or make combat stressful. I just want people to pay attention, know what their character can do, think about their turn before it starts, and give everyone more chances to actually play.

What rules, habits, or systems have worked for your groups to make combat significantly faster without making it less fun?
