This is a commission I did for UpcastAnimal887, and all design elements were done according to my client’s specifications.

This is the description my client provided: Vayelka, the Hollow Queen, is a reborn and self proclaimed queen of a pirate cove known as the Maw. She has a stitched together, doll-like appearance with faded grey skin, six arms, and carries six different swords. Her hair is long, blonde with a blood red tint, and she covers herself in gold and silver chains and jewelry instead of clothing because she sees herself as far above copper or anything of lesser value. She was granted life through eldritch rituals and values control above all else, regardless of who stands in her way.

I want to nail a wizard with a throwing knife within line of sight. I want to be able to tumble for no damage from a 400 ft. fall. I want to be able to jump off an enemy's head for a 30 ft. vertical jump slow fall shooting arrows. Fuck this damage balancing and the numbers. I don't care that a maximized 3.5 fireball could outperform my damage 10x over to a field of enemies. I don't care that a 3.5 wizard could sneeze and take over the world. The question is, why can't I? Where's my nonsense? I'm playing a skill monkey rogue for god's sake, why am I not good at anything? I'm a level 14 fighter. A legendary warrior. Why do I never get to do anything actually cool? Why can't skill checks do anything? Why can't I do anything. Utter nonsense.

Monster Manual Expanded 5.5e has been unleashed! You can grab it now at the DM's Guild!

Note that if you already own the previous version, get the bundle instead to get a discount!

How often do you think Necromancers customize their undead? Besides just giving them more armour or weapons I mean. Unless I’m mistaken they can pretty much just stick a bunch of limbs into a corpse and it will still function normally. Though maybe having an undead with multiple arms may require higher level necromancer than just a skeleton or zombie.

Anyhow this is one of the bodyguards for a lich, they are called atlas and Elias because those were the names of the people whose corpses make up this thing. Their weapons are inspired by Greek Bronze Age axes and spears, with the sigils on the metal plates being inspired by alchemy and goetic sigils from the ares goetia. Hope you like it!

Long story short, at the end of tonight’s session my fighter shook hands with an ancient dragon in order to gain power. There was no real agreement on what that meant, what I need to specifically do for the dragon, or what my reward was. I said in character “I’m not trying to form a Warlock pact with you but I do seek power and want to become stronger.” I fully understand there should be consequences for my actions, I was fully prepared to become the dragons servant and make sacrifices for what I was asking for. The one thing I wasn’t prepared for was my DM telling me after the session “you need to take levels in warlock now, maybe 2 or 3.”

He could tell I was not happy about that and said he will make a homebrew Warlock subclass for me but I’m really not exciting about that whatsoever. There was no out of game discussion about me changing classes and in game my character just met the dragon right before the session ended. He also stated that the dragon was going to make an offer to our groups Warlock but that player wasn’t able to make tonight’s session so he was happy that I chose to interact with the dragon…….I feel really torn right now because I do believe character actions deserve consequences but I also believe that player agency is important as well.

I was expecting a change in alignment, servitude to the dragon, some sort of personal sacrifice. I just wasn’t expecting to be forced into playing a whole new class. I feel really bad because I like this campaign and he is a really good DM. The table was trying to soften the blow for me but I have no interest in playing a multiclass Warlock/Fighter or a pure Warlock. Am I being unreasonable or should I make it clear that I’m not switching classes?

Edit: A lot of helpful advice. I think I’m going to ask him to have it so the deal was never made. I’m not trying to defend myself while attacking my DM, he’s a great DM, but I was not trying to “seek power without giving up anything.” At no point in time was anything specifically agreed on. I was going to take levels in Warlock without knowing what I was getting in return. These were not extra levels I was getting, some or all of my fighter levels were going away. He said after the session that I was going to become more powerful after I changed to Warlock but I still didn’t want to change classes. I didn’t explain that well enough so that’s on me.

So, after climbing a 30 story tower. The warrior used a contested strength or athletics roll to throw the lich out of the tower.

Our DM laughed because a lich can float.

Except they can't. They can't float/fly/ or feather fall. And since a contested roll isn't a saving throw he can't use a legendary resistance to auto succeed.

Who else thought liches all float?

The party all thought basic vanilla liches floated around their chambers like dragon priests. But apparently not. Surprised the party too when the DM chuckled and showed us vanilla liches don't have any spells to fight being thrown out a tall enough window.
