I made a bard with the intent of going College of Dance at lvl 3. However, to me, just waking up one day and doing a 180 flip from fighting with ranged weapons and slinging spells to martial arts just didn't make sense. So I decided to RP the transition from the start.

We have a monk in the party so I started off trying to 'imitate' the monk. The first time I got to wade into the thick of it, pull back and let loose the biggest haymaker ever and connect... for 1 whole damage. After I talk to the monk about what I'm doing wrong. We do training in the mornings after a long rest. Obviously I'm not trying to be a monk, so I take what I learn and apply it to my own abilities. I still wade into each fight, laying out 1 damage at a time (while slinging inspiration and the occasional support spell).

That's what I can't wait for; when all of this training and application finally pays off at lvl 3 and I get to land that first real damage punch. So instead of some magic "DING, congrats! You can now somehow punch 600% better than you could an hour ago!" it'll be "Holy crap! The bard finally learned how to punch! The fluid dancing moves is all him, but that left hook, that's [the monk's]".

I've usually been pretty big into optimization. It's what I found fun, but you gotta change it up now and then, and I have not regretted it.

Would your party let this little guy guide them through a dark dungeon?

This is Ignis, a tiny glass-and-brass construct I designed recently. Instead of a typical heavy warforged, I wanted something delicate—a silent flame living inside a lantern-like core that reacts to magic nearby.

Since I'm still learning different character builds and lore options, I'm not sure what class fits him best. Artificer creation? Celestial Warlock? Clockwork Sorcerer? How would you lore him in D&D, and what stats or abilities should he have?

So my friend is a DM and I had grown interested in DnD so I asked if I could join for a session. He had a campaign ongoing and asked the other players in I could join in for a session, they said yes. So i got to character creating. Rudeus Shirtail aka The Redshirt. And for the non Star Trek peeps, a redshirt is a background character that goes along with the main cast and just kinda dies. My man came from a long line of brave men who all just kinda died in the background of battles. A noble of very low renown. I even asked if the DM could focus me in combat so I would die.

Anyway, the party found Rudy stuck in a web outside a den of big spiders, after some pleading and promises of knowing a bit of the lair layout they set me free and I joined up. I chose, paladin gave him decent armour and shield. So my AC was actually pretty high (it was early in the campaign I believe lv5 and I had an AC of 18ish). So despite my mates best effort and getting kinda close, this tough bastard managed to survive the encounter with some healing from the cleric. We parted ways and irl I came back every so often before becoming a party regular towards the end.

Anyway Rudy's motivation to adventure was to find a sword that the first Redshirt lost which the DM then tuned into a demonic relic. The reason why the Redshirt line kept dying off young was because the first Redshirt made a deal with a devil and cursed his bloodline. The monsters focusing Rudy was a side effect of the devil's contract.

So after some more journeying Rudy became the party tank, got into a romance with another PC and finally found the family sword. I also acquired the ability to control my curse somewhat and choose when to draw attention (basically a taunt I activate by saying Look at me). The Devil (who's name is Khanus) showed up briefly via a messenger, informing Rudy that the sword was stolen form him and his soul is forfeit.

The party decides to sneak into hell.

We do, we enter Khanus's domain. Find the contract but I decide not to destroy it until we've found a way out, as my skill to taunt enemies would presumably be lost. We try to escape, battling demons along the way and the party gets dangerously low. As we nearly make our escape the door is magically sealed by Khanus. He charges up a big fireball attack (idk what it's called i imagined like a big firey spirit ball thing) intent on wiping everyone in the party out. As the wizard tries to unlock the door everyone sets up some manner of defences, which in truth, wouldn't have worked regardless.

So Rudy runs away from the group putting as much distance between himself and them as possible. I call out "Look at me!", which Khanus manages to resist the urge, I get another roll from the DM and I barely manage to success as Khanus fails his wisdom saving roll. And is forced to take aim solely at Rudy. I hold the contract in front of me, arm outstretched, "My name is Rudeus Shirtail, and you are bound to me and me alone. Look at me!".

Khanus turns and agaisnst his will is forced to fire his attack away from the party. And just as the wizard is able to unlock the door, his attack lands. Far away enough from the party to deal no damage. Rudy is killed, but before he draws his last breath the contract is burned to ashes. Freeing his soul. As his friends escape.

This post is just for fun, no advice needed.

I'm DMing a HB campaign for a party of 4 (2 seasoned, 2 nbs), and Britt (Goliath paladin oath of devotion) has a character that is following a pretty well worn character arc path. Her motivation is accomplishing great things, becoming a hero, and becoming a powerful warrior and it has not been going great for her. Lots of bad luck rolls, good ideas that just didn't work out despite me trying to be pretty accommodating since she's very new, and it's been getting to her character, especially because she's not doing great in combat yet.

We've weaved it into the story, especially because her character started out offering to be the party's baker (ie sweet and naive) and has gotten tot he point where she's drawing her sword first and asking questions later. Essentially, the darkness and the desire for strength is creeping in. Perfect. What a great time to tempt her!

We're in an arcane research institute full of crazy items needing study. She's upset that last encounter everything she tried failed and she ended up running away. She's even wandering alone in the halls fuming at her uselessness! I couldn't ask for a better set up to sneakily offer her a cursed item that offers great power at a cost that she won't recognize until a plot appropriate moment.

She stumbles into a room with arcane weapons, and a warhammer reaches out to her telepathically. "Noble one, do you seek strength? Do you wish to wield me?" She picks up the hammer, sees digits forming, goddamnit she even sees a vision of her brother she looks up to wielding a similar warhammer with the same sigils.

"What do you say to this weapon?" Deadass she looks straight at me and says "I'm just gonna put it down and walk away." I damn near fell out of my chair.

TLDR: player gave all the flags they were following a seeking power at any cost trope and pulled an anime trip up on me at the last second.

This is Crick, an Ashborn rogue gravedigger who was born from the ashes of the town’s former gravedigger.

I’ve been having a lot of fun working on fantasy and TTRPG characters lately, especially pieces where I can push expressive designs, fun silhouettes, and lots of little details in the outfit and props.

I’m currently open for commissions if anyone is looking for character art, party illustrations, creatures, or other fantasy/TTRPG pieces, feel free to send me a DM!

Hello there adventurers, here is next art for my little project. As I said in previous post this is not a commissioned work , what I usually post here. I drew this for players and DM for free use. Few years ago I started to redraw monster book, and now I want to restart it, as I made my old drawing style a bit more solid, and now I know what to do with all of it. So the community will have some alternative looks for the monsters and creatures. I just see no point in drawing exactly what we already have. So this is some random Aaracockra guy, how I see them , yes yes! Soon I will deliver next art , hopefully in a week or something.
What do you think guys of it in total, and if you have critics- welcome, feel free to put some words here if you have something to say! And as this is just a monster art, I have no backstory for it, but this kind has some scaven inspiration. You can find the description in official book or in net, pretty easy to find. Well, maybe you will adjust the story for this view if you use it for you campaign. This is all what I wanted to print here. Will be glad to see your feedback.
Stay safe and have a good day!

Is there any class or race that I can use for this? My player really wants to make a ghost character. Im not sure how will that work and is such a character even able to die? Are there any homebrew or in book races or classes that are ghost related or have ghost like traits or abilities?
