The bard slams his mug down and points at the scorched floorboards, the blackened wall, and the very obvious dragon-shaped burn mark climbing halfway up the tavern beam.

“You see that?” he shouts. “That was inner peace.”

A patron leans closer. “Inner peace did that?”

“Oh yes,” the bard says solemnly. “That is the exact spot.”

He gestures broadly. “You see all this charred mark? That’s all him. That’s the Red Ravenite Dragonborn activating his flaming astral armor and sprinting into the fray like inner peace owes him money.”

From somewhere in the back, a farmer mutters, “Looks like a fire ran on two legs.”

“Correct,” says the bard. “Two legs. A pair of glowing arms. And a very positive attitude.”

Back then, the ground itself screamed as he ran. The air ignited around him, flames wrapping his body not like wildfire, but like armor that had taken vows. But it wasn’t just fire. The astral armor overlapped his own body, larger than him, moving a heartbeat out of sync like a dragon-shaped shadow made of flame. When he drove his claws into the ground, the astral form struck deeper, tearing wider craters around his own marks. Where he stepped, the earth shattered twice.

His face was gone beneath it. Hidden entirely behind the drake’s blazing visage, its head swallowing his own as the fiery body draped down over his scales. You weren’t looking at a dragonborn anymore. You were looking at a dragon remembering how to walk on two legs.

His bear fur smoked. His boots left molten footprints.

And through all of it, he was shouting, “EVERYONE CALM DOWN!”

A bandit yelled back, “YOU’RE ON FIRE!”

“I KNOW!” he replied happily. “IT MEANS IT’S WORKING!”

The bard points higher, at a claw mark scorched into the beam. “That’s where the Thor’s Hammer tattoo lit up. He yelled, ‘THIS IS THE MOMENT!’ and someone immediately learned how far a person can fly.”

Someone near the hearth asks, “What about the other burns?”

“Oh, those?” the bard says. “He got hungry.” He nods seriously. “He shouted about it right before tackling three men at once.”

“The ceiling scorch?” the bard continues. “That’s a cycle. A cycle of being launched through furniture.”

A barmaid steps forward, crossing her arms. “That’s enough. He apologized, you know.”

“Yes,” the bard nods. “Very politely. Offered tea, too. Then asked if anyone wanted drinks.”

The tavern goes quiet.

Someone finally asks, “Was he angry?”

The bard laughs. “Angry? No. He smiled the whole time. Said, ‘I’m not mad. I’m just very passionate about peace.’”

The bard raises his mug again. “So if you smell smoke on the road, or see footprints still glowing hours later, don’t panic. That’s not a rampaging monster.”

“That’s just a monk,” he adds, “finding inner peace and balance at a full sprint… while on fire.”

Another version of a commissioned character I drew previously. This time, he’s depicted with flaming astral armor. Supposedly, this is part of his Bear Totem Warrior skill set, except his totem animal is a giant flaming drake.

I was also told he’s a Wildheart, which led to a running joke that the flames are actually his amour. That joke ended up inspiring the entire story behind the character, haha.

I'm DMing a campaign and a player wants to play a master chef that cooks everything in every way, so then the state of bodies after a fight becomes really important. I know what every type of damage would do to a potential meat except for radiant.

I know that the easy and boring answer is "white burn" but I personally want more interesting answers.

and more importantly: what taste would a meat cooked by radiant magic have?

sorry for the morbosity

Just a silly idea I thought would be cool.

"Blind, this hunter tracks its prey using sound and its highly developed sense of touch, allowing it to detect vibrations over great distances.

Like bats, it can locate itself in space using sound and employs its two small drums to amplify its surroundings. "

Artwork I made with a focus on the storyterlling of the character ! hope you will like it !

He's basically a mix of daredevil, a musician and an archer x). It was fun to do !

So on a whim I thought it might be fun to figure out exactly what was in my character's component pouch, do a full inventory for flavor reasons and all that. Most of them weren't bad, 7 thorns, a bit of holy water, or just a stem of a plant, that kind of a thing. Then I got to the material component for Banishment. "An item distasteful to the target."

Now, of course this isn't really a problem, just a bit of flavor to use when casting the spell. But "in universe" this seems like it could be a hassle. Like every time you go to cast the spell it ends up like that scene in The Mummy where Benny is cycling through holy symbols to find the one that finally works. (Which could be funny as a one off gag)

So all that makes me wonder if anyone knows any other spells that would be a headache if you had to take the material component literally.

I started with the wizard 'cause I saw the meme and a friend of mine was playing a wizard, but then ended up doing almost every class :')

I want to share with you my custom made map which lead players to hidden artefacts which are linked to BBEG backstory.

In my campaign main BBEG lost his powers 8 years after fight against League of Elven Mages. After fight league hidden 3 evil artefacts and 4 good which they used to defeat main bad guy.

Map folds to create up to 7 correct places. Map is two sided, in the middle there is purple compass mark in one side and green on the other side. Each corner has letter which helps correctly solve puzzle.

I have printed 8x original map and then I cut it with scissors and glue together. After that I have scanned it and edit in computer, but after few months I design program which I can input any map/photo/dungeon layout to suit any campaign.

How it works!

Hi everyone!

I finally made a new reference sheet for my favorite OC! Since the last time I came here asking for advice I received a lot of good ideas and I am really grateful. Finally, i got the chance to play a few “trial” campaigns with my friends and I tried out playing as Siegvald, which was really fun!

—————————————————— Description:

Siegvald Lundberg, is a reindeer centaur hunter from the northern forests. He was raised in a hidden tribe with strict rules meant to protect their people, but when he was around eleven years old, he broke the rules. What followed was a tragedy that cost lives, and Siegvald was forced to flee, carrying the guilt of what he had caused.

Now living as a lone ranger, he survives by hunting and keeping his distance from others. When he joins an adventuring party, Siegvald slowly begins to learn how to trust again, discovering that not every mistake leads to disaster and that he might still deserve a place among others.
