 [Art] I made a life-size sword mimic 🗡️

Author: /u/Pollard_MDhttps://www.reddit.com/user/Pollard_MD

Modeled in Blender, printed in resin, and painted by me. This thing took forever, mostly because the first version collapsed under its own weight. I learned two main things while making it: filament printers are used for large props for a very good reason, and cosplay artists have a tough job.

You can find my other mimics on my social medias:

 A friend lost her brother/DM. I was asked to make a "D20" Urn for them to bury. I was honored to do it. [Art]

This is a PLA 3D print. (Materials didn't need to be robust because of use case: burial) I went into it as goods/services, obv with a lot more sensitivity than that... it was a transaction...But it really hit me as i was working on it, i refused payment... and I FAMOUSLY love money... but man, I just couldnt.

It's my understanding that he was in a really bad way. So the inside has some leather that says "VICTORIUM IN MORTE" laser etched on it. He's free now. He won. Hence the 20 on top as well.

The family cried happy tears. To which i responded "I prefer to be paid in a family's tears, so this works out. His program is a Character sheet! It's really awesome and will be hanging up next to my girls' drawings forever.

I realize this is a spindown die, it was the only thing available for me to print. It is what it is.

 Possessed PC with zero control - DM says I’ll probably just watch next session
Posted: 2026-01-14T10:27:29+00:00
Author: /u/Meteoxhttps://www.reddit.com/user/Meteox

UPDATED!

Hey all,

I’m looking for some outside perspective because this situation feels really bad as a player, not just for my character.

In our current D&D game, my character has been fully possessed by a demon. It all hinged on a single failed Charisma saving throw. Mechanically it now works similar to ghost possession: I can see and hear everything, but I am otherwise incapacitated. I’m basically an observer.

For some added context on how this happened: earlier, we found a suspicious necklace, I knew it was magical with a necromantic aura due to detect magic and I took it to cast Identify on it. I learned that a demon lives in the necklace, and that if someone touches it while the demon is already possessing another creature, it gains the opportunity to possess the person who touched it. Shortly after that, without being able to say or do anything I ended up triggering exactly that situation and was asked to make the saving throw which I failed.

For further context: the other PCs explicitly saw a cloud of black smoke come out of a fireplace and flow straight into my character. Immediately afterward, my character went completely silent and stopped acting like themselves. Since then… the party has mostly just gone along with it and kept traveling.

Since the possession, the other PCs have also shown little to no interest in the necklace itself. When they asked my character about the Identify results, the demon simply answered that it was “just a normal necklace,” and the party accepted that. At one point, the demon even offered the necklace to another PC, which could have led to the demon jumping to another body, but the others showed no interest.

According to the DM, the only other way for the demon to leave is for my character to drop to 0 HP (or even potentially die). There’s nothing I can do from the inside to resist, influence, or fight back. When I raised concerns, the DM told me that if the party doesn’t do anything about it, I’ll probably just watch during the next session without doing anything.

I’m fine with bad things happening to my character. I’m fine with horror, consequences, and even loss of control as a concept.
What I’m not fine with is being effectively removed from play for an entire session (or possibly more) after one failed save, while still being expected to sit there and spectate.

Is it considered reasonable to fully sideline a PC like this based on a single failed save?

I’m honestly trying to find a solution that keeps the narrative intact and lets me participate as a player. Any advice from DMs or players who’ve dealt with this before would be appreciated.

Thanks ❤️

UPDATE: Thanks for your feedback everyone! 🫶 I have contacted my DM with my concerns and the idea to play the demon instead until it leaves me. He agreed with this idea already and shared its agenda with me (it will definitely want to leave my body ASAP, as I´m absolutely not a suitable host for permanent takeover) and will share some additional details and roleplay tips for it later.

Hello there! It’s been a while and once again, here with some cute sketchy character art. As you can see from the tags, this is commissioned artworks. And because of it- I have no backstory for this lady. But we can definitely see she is an artificer. One of the most interesting classes to my opinion btw, and not on;y in dnd universe. But..difficult class, actually. Well, about dnd artificer- you can get more information from net and books. Pretty sure internet will tell much better than me. Other than that, as always, your critics are welcome, feel free to put some words if you have something to tell.

Soon I will post a bit more pictures like this. Hope you are interested to see more.

This is all what I wanted to say here, stay safe and have a good day.

 [OC] [Comm] Lumen, Aasimar Knight
Posted: 2026-01-14T11:52:24+00:00
Author: /u/RikaRinihttps://www.reddit.com/user/RikaRini

Hello everyone! I’m excited to share this commission I had the pleasure of working on. This cutie isn’t one of my original characters, but rather a commission for a client. Meet Lumen, an aasimar knight with big dorkus cleric sorcerer energy, trying their absolute best to live up to the ideal of a knight in shining armor.

I had so much fun bringing Lumen’s radiant, slightly awkward heroism to life and balancing celestial grace with that endearing doing my best charm. I hope you love how they turned out!

If you’re interested in having your own character drawn in this style, feel free to DM me for more info. Thank you so much for the support!

 [OC] [Art] Growing Magic Items v2.0 – Magic Gear That Levels Up With Characters
Posted: 2026-01-14T14:19:42+00:00
Author: /u/jonnymhdhttps://www.reddit.com/user/jonnymhd

These are Growing Magic Items: magic items with four tiers of rarity that evolve and unlock new capabilities as characters progress through levels or achieve various milestones. The progression of a Growing Magic Item can be aligned with character levels, personal achievements, or specific quests, allowing for flexibility and adaptation to different campaign styles.

The rules for how Growing Magic Items work, along with guidance and suggestions for scaling and progression, are explained on this page (the subreddit doesn’t allow gallery posts, so I had to link it separately): https://i.imgur.com/8YJHi54.png

After the collection performed extremely well on DMsGuild and reached bestseller status, I decided to reinvest in the project by recommissioning all the artwork, giving the entire collection brand-new illustrations, alongside light revisions and a handful of new Growing Magic Items added to the book. If you already own it, you can download the updated version for free on DMsGuild.

You can find over 80 Growing Magic Items and an extended preview on DMsGuild. You can also check out my bundle of small D&D manuals on DMsGuild, which includes Growing Magic Items Collection.

For more of my creatures, items, and manuals visit DriveThruRPG, my Linktree, or r/JonnyDM!

 [OC] [ART] Stinging Nettles by deadward.art on Instagram!
Posted: 2026-01-14T01:49:17+00:00
Author: /u/WaDavhoahhttps://www.reddit.com/user/WaDavhoah

My new character, Stinging Nettles, I'm playing in my friends game!

They may be a strange looking Ranger from a cult of Honey worshipers, but they earnestly want to help, strange looks and practices aside!

The bee aesthetic were really just a vehicle for me to explore certain things, specifically identity, and the lack-there-off. The beekeeper outfit hiding Stinging Nettles appearance from others around them (members of the cult of honey are discouraged from fraternizing too much with outsiders), and the bees themselves who operate solely to serve the hive.
Stinging Nettles has spent his entire life prioritising the need of his own 'hive' over his own desires, and now through adventuring, and new found personal freedoms, Stinging Nettles will get a sense of independence. (While at the same time forming new dependences with his new party!)

I've been sitting on this character for a while, waiting for the right game and DM/party to play them, so I am beyond excited!

 Prioritize CON or DEX as a wizard
Posted: 2026-01-14T16:37:56+00:00
Author: /u/jomanonehttps://www.reddit.com/user/jomanone

Hi people! Im building a wizard for the first time, these are my stats via point buy:

STR 8

DEX 14

CON 16

INT 16

WIS 10

CHA 10

The thing is... should a 16 be on dex or on con. Im playing a necromancer, so this is my pros:
Dex -> maximice ac (Ill use mage armor), improve my turn (my invocations will act before they die)
Con -> better hit points and concentration spells. As a necromancer, I heal hp by killing

Should I put the 16 on Dex?

Life is short — adventure on, adventurer!

In D&D terms, halfling lifespans are just right. Longer than humans, but nowhere near elven eternity. That means no “someday.” It’s always “now.” And that’s exactly why they make such great adventurers.

She’s sitting right now, but this is only a pause, not an ending. A breath before the next town, the next dungeon, the next unexpected friendship. Halflings don’t set out to conquer the world — they set out to experience it.

Being small means a lighter step, a lower point of view, and an uncanny talent for surviving when things go wrong. They’re rarely the flashiest heroes, but somehow they’re often the ones still standing at the end.

So yes: halflings are great. When life isn’t endless, every adventure matters.
