Race: Dark Elf
Gender: Female
Age: 297
Class: Trickery Domain Cleric
Level: 8

This character is a cleric of Lolth, dedicated to worshipping specifically his domain of betrayal.

She has devoted her entire life to the worship of her deity, sowing betrayal and misunderstanding among friends, allies, and lovers, all to please her.Everything within her reach is an instrument of evil: a knife, a word, and even her own body can bring about the destruction of a relationship and even bloodshed.She is ruthless when drunk and even more cruel when sober.

After betraying her Mother Superior in the temple, she now roams freely to continue pleasing her deity.

I did the Invincible meme with my DnD party, and this was way too funny to draw. I was laughing the entire time while making it.

Don’t ask questions about the catgirl’s gadget. It’s her main weapon and somehow the strongest weapon in the party, but nobody wants to touch it for very obvious reasons. It’s her weapon, after all.

Maybe I’ll do one for my other DnD party too, where I somehow ended up playing 3 characters at the same time. Roleplaying as 3 orcs at once is honestly hilarious. These Invincible memes are just too funny not to draw.

The Lady is a vampire trying to find an anti-magic metal whose location is known only by a very reclusive group. The party is also searching for this group, and that’s how they eventually met her. She killed one of the party members during their first meeting.

My campaign incorporates a lot of elements from The Witcher, including the way vampires work. In The Witcher, vampires are a race rather than something you can become. In my campaign, however, I added the possibility of transforming someone into a vampire through a series of processes, similar to how witchers are created. She is one of those artificial vampires and was turned by the BBEG.

He hates crits so much that he said he's going to give bosses an ability to cancel (at least) one crit, making them just normal hits.

He's an experienced DM, so it's not that he's clueless.

Obviously this will affect nova damage builds the most. Smites, sneak attack, and other damage riders, etc. will get nerfed. Those types of builds are not optimized for sustained damage or control, and they won't get the satisfaction of blowing up the BBEG.

Is there anything more satisfying in combat than blowing up the bad guys with one crit?

And . . . The character I have is still waiting for his first crit-smite against a boss.

In the ash-choked valleys beneath the Black Crag Mountains, the goblins of the Carrion Wing tribe feared only one thing more than fire: silence. For where silence ruled, the crows no longer spoke — and without the crows, death came unseen.

Among them was a crooked, hollow-eyed goblin named Skritch.

Born during a blood moon eclipse, Skritch entered the world clutching a dead raven feather in his tiny clawed fist. The tribe’s elders called him cursed and tried to cast him into the swamp. But before they could, a murder of crows descended from the sky, pecking out the eyes of two shamans and scattering the tribe in panic. The message was clear.

The crows had claimed the child.

Skritch grew up among bone totems, smoke fires, and whispering wings. He rarely spoke to other goblins, preferring instead the company of the black-feathered flock that followed him everywhere. The crows brought him secrets: where enemies marched, where corpses rotted beneath the mud, where forgotten spirits lingered in ruins older than memory.

As years passed, Skritch learned the forbidden rites of the Crow Shamans — an ancient goblin tradition older than kings and empires. He painted his skin with ash and crow blood, wore necklaces of polished beaks, and carried a staff crowned with a living raven skull whose eyes glowed blue at night.

The tribe began to fear him.

They said he could steal memories with a glance. That he spoke to the dead through the throats of birds. That every crow in the valley shared a single soul, and Skritch was its prophet.

But the truth was worse.

Deep within the mountains slept the Hollow King, a forgotten spirit of famine and decay. The crows were not merely messengers; they were its watchers. And Skritch, chosen since birth, was destined to become the bridge between the living world and the endless black sky where the Hollow King dreamed.

On the longest night of winter, Skritch climbed the ancient gallows hill overlooking the tribe’s camp. Thousands of crows gathered above him, blotting out the moon. The wind carried their screams across the valley like a storm of knives.

The goblins watched in terror as Skritch raised his bone staff and began the Rite of Unfeathering.

One by one, the crows fell from the sky — dead at his feet.

And then they rose again.

Not as birds.

But as shadows with wings.

I've been thinking this over for days...

So far, I've tried to match words that follow the theme of [characterization of element] + [what it does] in single syllable words so it sounds natural. For example, fire licks at wood before it catches, frost imprints a pattern onto things when it freezes

Running with that train of thought I thought that "Stormfall" was ok for air, but I have nothing for earth

please help

Marked as 5.5 but the question works for any edition.

A personal example would be that I am always drawn to the most bog standard “good guy adventurer who does good simply because it’s what a hero does”. All but one of my characters have just wanted to do good in the world, be the pure hearted shounen protagonist (without the anime voice to be clear).

Oh and dual wielding, ever since playing KH2 as a kid I cannot refuse dual wielding. But that’s not an archetype on its own.

This dispute came up at our table tonight, and it was funny enough that I thought I’d share it here. After three years, fighting the Tarrasque will (probably) be the final combat of our campaign. Due to two players unexpectedly being absent, we didn’t actually fight it tonight and just strategized instead.

I’m the DM and created special rules for the scenario to try and make it more dramatic & challenging. The players know the Tarrasque will be popping up in the middle of a city. If it can’t engage one of them with a melee attack, it will move to destroy part of the city; if the city takes enough damage, it’s entirely destroyed and the players lose the scenario.

One player thought Reverse Gravity offered them the best chance to defeat the beast. If it failed its save, it would be trapped in the air for 10 turns while the players pelted it with ranged attacks. I countered that Reverse Gravity field is 100’ high and the Tarrasque is 70’ tall; it’s tail has 30’ range so it could hit the ground to push itself out of the field. My player responded that the equilibrium point should be the creature‘s center of mass, so roughly 35’ would dangle above the field and 35’ within it. But if so, could its Thunderous Bellow produce enough thrust to let it escape?

Who knows if the Tarrasque will actually fail it’s Dex saving throw after running out of it‘s Legendary Resistances. I’m curious how the DMs & amateur physicists on this sub would rule in this situation.

I was recently commissioned by a player to paint their character, Cirrus Freewind. He’s of the pirate variety, and he is very confident, which is a trait that I really tried to capture in this illustration. I was given a pretty thorough description regarding his appearance, attitude, attire, and weapons/props. I really like the way he turned out, so I figured I’d share the final illustration. This is the second pirate character I’ve been commissioned to paint, and I gotta say, they’re really fun to do!
