Been having an art block for awhile now and kinda had to force myself to finish this
I’m not really that proud of the design, it’s pretty basic, but I just wanted to get something done atp lol
Anyway, this is Elowen Lethariel, a spring eladrin druid. She’s a soft-spoken elf who grew up in a little grove where spring never really seemed to end. She’s pretty gentle and curious, and spends most of her time collecting plants and helping injured animals. Her magic is mostly plants and healing, and she has a habit of leaving little flowers behind wherever she goes.
I’m not really going to use her for anything. If anybody likes hee design feel free to use it however you like.

About to DM for the first time. I am doing a oneshot based a wild sheep chase. The battle will be in 2 phases, 1st phase on the grass against some goons and the a 2nd phase in the "castle" on the bottom. The chess board in the middle is related to a simple chess puzzle in order to get in, which there will be an engraving on the floor with a clue in front of it. Specifically made a decent amount of space for the final battle in the castle and some pillars to attempt to get cover from

I am by no means a great artist... Or artist at all, im just very excited to try dm'ing for the first time.

What do guys think? Any alterations to the map you would suggest?

Hello again!

I got into an actual campaign last night, and after a discussion with my DM, I came up with an idea that we both enjoyed. This is Bloom Upon the Rot, aka Bloom. She's a tabaxi spore druid, and she has literally no idea what her past was and neither do I! She's an amnesiac, and I asked my DM to make up literally any story they wanted to, just so I'm in the dark too. So, throughout this campaign, I'm going to be slowly learning her story with her in the hopes it strengthens my immersion. I really like how she came out, idk if you can tell but I like the type of anthro shoes that have the beans out LOL

This was made on Clip Studio Paint in the span of 4 hours.

This sounds exciting

Dragonborn fighter, HATES MAGIC.

Personality Traits • HATES MAGIC. NO EXCEPTIONS. • Stubborn: Strictly against whatever he hates. • Narcissistic: thinks very highly of himself. • Secluded: doesn't reveal much of his past. • Cocky: does things before really thinking. • Straightforward: gets things done with little questions asked. Ideals • He HATES magic. He wants to prove that you don't need magic to be a legendary hero. • To become the most well-known merchant in the realm. • Sometimes, brute force is the only way forward. • Wants to prove to his family that he can be more than just his last name. • Will never use or accept magic unless in dire need. 

Khisnhen Macheth was born as the eldest child into a wealthy family of bankers, going back 6 generations: the Macheth Estate. The Macheths were a prestigious family of Brass dragonborn who made a name for themselves through dedication and hard work.
Khisnhen, however, always found the family job to be incredibly boring. Even when he tried to make sense of the banking business, it just never worked for him.
Throughout his teenage years, Khisnhen would always love to sneak out after dark into the local town centre, wandering through the lit streets. All of the street vendors would make delicious food, bards would perform their songs, and most importantly, the travelling merchants selling various goods from across the realm.
The young Khisnhen would go out more than once a week, making new friends and becoming acquainted with the vendors. His best friend was a tiefling named Luwen, who was about the same age as Khisnhen. He was the son of a bard who played in the town, and Luwen aspired to become a bard just like his father, travelling the realm and bringing joy wherever he would go.
Khisnhen's parents, on the other hand, would eventually find out about this misbehavior of sneaking out at night.
"You are forbidden from leaving after dark, it is highly dangerous out there!" they would say, while preventing Khisnhen from visiting the town centre.

Khisnhen wouldn't be able to go back for the next few years. He was forced to learn the family tradition of banking. He lived secluded, being taught that the only way to succeed was to inherit the estate.
This training was a double edged sword; He learned many things about economics, but his passion and true desires were being truncated by the family business.

It wasn't until he was 18 years of age, when he finally made an effort to run away, leaving his old life behind. He knew that his parents were wrong. He vowed that he would succeed in life by becoming a travelling merchant, like the ones he admired in the past. He took his family's ancestral sword, which dated back 6 generations, and ran away on his 18th birthday.

He escaped his home, returning to the town centre as he once did before. He knew he shouldn't stay for long, his parents would eventually find him. He took a ride to a far-away town in hopes to start his career as a travelling merchant. He changed his name to Luwen, after his childhood friend from his old town.

For the next year or so, he would build up his business. He travelled all around the realm. But he never returned to the town streets he grew up in.

One day, Luwen Macheth arrived in a strange town he'd never been to before. The town was eerie, dark, ominous. All of the residents were just standing there, staring at Luwen. He never knew too much about magic or curses, so he just assumed it fine, and they'd never seen a dragonborn merchant before.
Once he set up shop, Luwen noticed a strange, hooded wizard walking towards him. He carried a large staff with a glowing gem at the tip. Once he approached Luwen, the wizard began chanting strange magic words, none of which Luwen understood. The strange wizard held up his staff as it glowed brighter, aimed at Luwen. In just a moment, Luwen was struck with a spell that made him lose consciousness, living as a soulless and mindless slave, entranced in the eerie town. He was still physically alive, but his mind was a puppet to the wizard who approached him. Perhaps he would be better off just working as a banker in his family's estate.

5 years passed.

Luwen, or at least what was left of him, lived in the strange town without soul or passion. If he was left there longer, he would simply remain trapped in the same state he already was in.
One day, a party of legendary heroes (unrelated to the campaign) visited the strange town and defeated the wizard who enslaved countless innocent bystanders, including Luwen. The wizard didn't die, and he ran far away to regain his strength. However, his defeat caused all of the people he took souls from to regain their lost consciousness, and return to who they were before.
In an instant, Luwen remembered who he was, what he set off to do, everything!

However, one thing stuck with Luwen that would haunt him forever.
Everything he felt while entranced, he remembered every second of it. The five years he spent under the mindless control of the wizard, wasted and haunting.
After looking around, it seemed that the other victims had the same experience, some for much longer. Everyone, including Luwen, was deeply traumatized by that wizard, and as a result, became less fond of magic as a whole.
When Luwen decided to set off, returning to his life, he made a solemn vow that he would NEVER use magic. He HATED magic, and anyone who used it, ESPECIALLY wizards!
This gave him the realization that he, a dragonborn, had naturally-born magic via his draconic breath. This made Luwen hate himself. His entire ideology was against magic, and the realization that HE was part magic was completely contradictory!

For the next 4 years, Luwen lived his life as a wandering merchant, travelling between towns, selling and trading goods. Sometimes, he would "elevate" the truth of how he acquired certain objects, all in an attempt to enhance his merchant status and increase his name.

Fortunately, his scales were a chromatic glimmer between Brass, Bronze, and Copper. This meant it wasn't very easy for customers to tell what his draconic ancestry was. They didn't know if he spouted fire breath, lightning breath, or acid breath. This mystery was elevated by the fact that he never used magic, so he soon became somewhat well-known as "The Magicless Dragon."
Luwen gained a slight bit of popularity, but not too much. The strange dragonborn who didn't reveal his breath garnered a bit of attention among some locals and other merchants.

I’ve heard stories about some absolutely wild shit that people have claimed stopped from making their session, but personally the worst I’ve ever seen for myself was when our party warlock, who never mentioned they had a partner of any kind, posted their *wedding photos* in chat, saying “we’re going on honeymoon, can’t make the next couple sessions”, and then *left us with no explanation further*.

Outside of that, our party’s generally pretty damn consistent. Sunday nights, every week, the only exceptions being for when we literally can’t make it to our computers, such as flooding or moving.

Still, I wanted to know y’all’s wildest “Sorry I can’t make DND this week because [X]” stories, because I know there’s gotta be some wild af ones out there.

Has anyone had experience translating cloak and rapier to DnD? they want to use it on their rogue/monk multiclass and i don't know exactly how that would work? I thought about the rebrand shield but they asked if it would be possible to disarm someone with it as an action and stuff that i told him i need time to balance. If anyone has ideas or experience with this they could share id be grateful.

Good luck! We hope you love the bags as much as we do!

This is mod approved.

So I've seen some people hoping for a "Martial Unleashed" like the new UA with things like the new WoW book but I have to wonder... is it really even possible to give martials lateral growth without just turning everything into a spellcaster?

Like... Spellcasters get alot of room for growth because they got feats that have something easy to interact with (spellcasting), they got the spell lists themselves which can easily be added on to, and they got their subclasses.

For martials though, they got their subclasses and their feats. But the feats are harder to make because for martials their just is far less options to play with. Like for casters you can make a feat to improve your illusion spells or make them more real or alter their spell components or make them last longer. But martials... attack. That's about it. And they have a small handful of combat maneuvers like Trip, push, and grapple. Its hard to build more on those. And due to the limited nature of feats for most classes, is unreasonable to expect more than like... 2 or 3 for most people.

So I gotta wonder.. is is even possible for WotC to make a massive option expansion for martials akin tl what we saw for casters in Arcana Unleashed? Or is the system built in a way that there just is no reasonable way to give them wide options?
