Ah, travelers! We don't get many such as you in these parts, not since the Marquis' men took control of the pass. I suppose you're wondering why you can't post images or links on this Fifthday?

Thursdays are Text-post Only Days on /r/DnD. We're disabling picture and link posts for 24 hours to encourage discussion posts.

We originally began this trial about six months ago and the response has been overwhelmingly positive. I've personally enjoyed a lot of the conversations that have sprung up on these days (and a smarter mod would have bookmarked some of them to use as examples* in this post).

As of now we're planning on keeping the experiment running indefinitely. We're always looking for feedback, so please let us know of your experience. Have you been enamored with a discussion post that arose one Thursday? Have you mourned having to wait one more day to see your comic update? We welcome all takes.

The switch is still happening manually, so it will happen around about midnight Eastern US time. If anyone is aware of a way to automate the process, please message the mods.

Perhaps you could discuss this...we've heard tale of a path through the eastern ridge. If such a trail exists we could circumvent the Marquis' blockade and supply this rebellion. Won't you help us, strangers!?

* The first Thursday after making this post, someone posts the most classic question imaginable. This is what it's all about.

I received a request recently by a player, and they asked that I base the look of the character on the Madras style from Guadeloupe, which is where their mother is from.

In included the head garment per their instruction, and some of the basic elements for the rest of the outfit, however I decided to add a cape and some jewelry to really set the piece off.

She is a half elf sorcerer, and the fan she holds contains inscriptions for spells that she uses throughout the campaign.

For this piece, I wanted to portray her using her magic, but I also felt it would be interesting to have her look almost as if she is dancing. The movement of her cloth and jewelry really helped in suggesting that, and overall gave the piece a lot of the motion I was looking for.

The character’s facial features are also based on the player’s mother, and I was given an old family photo to use as reference in order to capture her likeness.

She is the Life Cleric from the "Forever Winter" land. She is the adopted daughter of the head of the local church.

She is on an adventure looking for the heritage of her dead father, a Paladin who died protecting his lover. Her biological father was gay - everyone in town knew he was in love with a Rogue - and then, there is her mother(?) (IDK, my DM gave me this information).

She is an Aasimar with golden hair and wings. Her personality is a bit like Momonga from Chiikawa: she will loudly scream things like "I AM FEELING UNWELL TODAY!" or demand, "Praise me, you idiots!" She doesn't care about her team unless they praise her and give her treats.

She also has a prime moment where she is the last one standing on the battlefield and kills the final boss (even though she isn't the DPS).

I roleplay her as childish and selfish because she is pretty and, more importantly, she is the "ambulance." She can also do ballet, and her design is a mix of a ballet dancer and Russian royal clothing.

Hello! Recently joined a game, and we were discussing the house rules! One of the rules however is rather… Interesting? And I sort of wanna hear opinions about it!

DM rolls to attack like normal, however! He does max damage. Straight up, if it’s a 1d8 attack, it’s 8HP worth of damage. If it’s 10d8+10, it’s 90HP worth of damage. In addition, for crits, it’s double dice like normal—meaning if DM crits on a player, it’s full dice damage plus modifiers. Twice.

To “counter” this, as he says, we are given max HP…! Everyone sort of jokingly went “haha… we’re so fucked huh”…! This isn’t to shit on DM or anything, but just wanna hear D&D Reddit’s opinion!

Edit to add: There are no other homebrew rules that affect damage, AC, or anything like that! At most, there’s a new ability every person has access to “Burn The Edge of Your Soul”, where you can automatically get the benefits of a Long Rest, but permanently lose a Hit Dice! Players do not get max damage, nor max HP from healing spells, potions, or Hit Dice during short rests!

Edit part 2!: Don’t worry, I (and several others) did leave 🙂‍↕️ I am not a masochist and I like my characters to not be gravy in two rounds, so!

Hey everyone!

I’ve created a new 20x20 battlemap for a very strange and chaotic forest clearing. Your players stumble upon a massive, recently uprooted tree featuring a huge bird's nest woven right into its complex root system. But that's just the beginning of the mystery: right at the foot of the trunk lies a dead, bleeding bear, and not far away, a wild boar has met a similar gruesome fate. There are also two cave entrances nearby and some very bizarre tracks (a mix of wildcat paws and... duck footprints).

What on earth happened here?

Monster Hunter Camp Charakter:

Dina is a satyr paladin. She grew up in a tribe composed of satyrs and minotaurs; since her parents were a satyr and a minotaur, she is quite tall and sturdily built.

The tribe lives right next to a massive tree, from which they craft their armor and weapons taking only what nature can provide, as they place great importance on the balance between civilization and the natural world.

Hunting plays a central role in their culture, though they hunt solely for survival rather than sport. To mark significant milestones, warriors tie bands with various meanings onto their weapons.

Dina discovered her connection to nature and to the tree itself at an early age, leading her to become a paladin dedicated to preserving the natural order of the world.

She set out to assist inexperienced travelers, who often endanger themselves through their ignorance of nature. Many wander aimlessly and provoke animals, resulting in the deaths of both beasts and humans.

She is always prepared for any situation, carrying an endless supply of gear ranging from tents and torches to various kits and supplies.

She has now joined the Hunters, believing there may be ways to pacify creatures other than simply killing them; however, should a creature threaten the natural order, she is fully prepared to slay it.

After 18 months of bi weekly sessions, split online and in person with a group of highly dedicated players, last night saw the culmination of my homebrew campaign in over the top epic fashion. The BBEG, the Lady Of Light, slain by an absolutely brutal crit from the Barbarian after a clutch mass heal from the Cleric a couple of rounds before. Couldn't ask for a better group of friends to have played this campaign with, even with the war crimes and derailing jokes throughout, my bad for describing a hole in the ground as a gaping maw leading to a deep shaft I suppose. Enjoy the pic of the most effort I've gone to as a DM to set the scene...

Chaemoira Castelleot, a drow ranger/rogue!

For the first time, like, ever I’m actually making a character who’s supposed to be optimized just a little after playing absolute bullshit characters (cough, Lycan Bloodhunter/Cleric… Barbarian/Wizard…), but is still made for roleplay! Plus I’ve actually never played a character who is almost 80% martial, rather than focusing on almost only magic! Finally! A character that does consistently more than 10HP worth of damage! I just gotta actually figure out a design for her clothing…

I wanted to make a tiefling that didn't use the usual red/black color palette, so I went with yellow skin and muted violet clothing.

She's a wizard with a criminal background, and I imagined her as the kind of person who looks completely calm while doing something that is probably illegal.

I also wanted her magic to feel like part of her personality rather than just adding random effects, so I kept the fire as the main element and used lightning as a secondary accent.

I'm trying to make a new D&D character every day.

If you could give her one crime in her backstory, what would it be?
