This is my level 21 Circle of the Moon druid—a character I’ve been playing in the same campaign for six years. I drew this myself. Over that time, she’s managed to read every single book that grants stat bonuses. When I first created her, I was a complete beginner and didn’t realize that Constitution is arguably the second most important stat for a druid. I figured it didn’t matter, since using "Wild Shape" replaces your Constitution score with that of the beast you transform into. My Dungeon Master (DM) was also a beginner back then, so they didn’t offer any advice on how to build the character more effectively.

Fortunately, over the course of the campaign, she managed to get her hands on an amulet that boosts her Constitution to 19—which is absolutely critical, given that maintaining most of the best druid spells requires concentration. She also has some magical tattoos from *Tasha’s Cauldron of Everything*, though they’re hidden beneath her clothes.

We’ve now reached the final battles, and I’m going to miss all of this dearly—but that’s just how the game goes.

Really enjoyed working on this project with a bit of a different setting! Here’s some basic info:

Aasimar paladin - once exiled for defying her order. She’s a principled leader but her confidence too often outweighs her judgment.

Tiefling rogue - formerly a notorious gambler. He is a charming troublemaker and constantly finds ways to distract himself from the immediate task.

Firbolg druid - raised in an isolated forest commune. She’s gentle, and endlessly fascinated but terrified by civilization. Spends an unhealthy amount of time talking to her bird.

Half elf bard - formerly a well-known street performer who fell off after some controversy with the public. Quick-witted, and keeps the group entertained with songs.

The four are crossing a very large lake in search of a lost shrine, blissfully unaware that sirens are stalking their boat.

There are 2 new players out of 4 total at my table that barely look at their character and don't know what they do.

One's a barbarian and I often have to nudge them to do their second attack or remind them to look at everything they can do. I'm familiar with the path of storm giant barbarian so it's easy for me to do so.

However we have a paladin which I don't know what it does by memory and neither does he! Dude often comes in saying man I haven't even looked at my character since we last played.

We haven't played in almost 2 months due to scheduling issues and I've messaged the group chat multiple times to please know what your character does any questions reach out to me.

Just sucks because I spend all this time, effort and money to make a good game and players can't spend 15 minutes to go over their character.

Greetings fellow adventurers and storytellers! Today I come to you with some heavy news, and a request.

I am a pretty new Dungeon Master, I love doing it and I’m glad this role was thrust upon me!

However, earlier today I found out one of my players (and a dear friend) took their life this weekend. Typing those words out still seem surreal to me. However, as their DM and friend. I would like to memorize their character somehow and someway. But I have several questions about it.

1. Is that weird or creepy?
   
2. Am I doing too much?
   
3. If I do this, HOW do I do it?

Like I said, I’m new to this side of the table so I’ve no idea where to begin. Or if I even should do this.

Any insight is much appreciated!

This guy is originally from a comic series I’m working on, but I looked at him and thought he would make a great character in my friend’s DnD campaign, so he kind of exists within two worlds now without any personality change. Kyu’s a shady dude who sneaks around and helps manage black markets. As a feared henchman of the black market’s boss, Kyu’s known for his loyalty to his boss and will fight dirty to take out any opponents. Among the campaign members, he often thinks about pickpocketing and stealing from them when their backs are turned, but will get caught one day and get smacked in the face, hard. The campaign centers around an existential Eldritch horror, but he's really in it for the drug money and loot.

He is based on desert lizards and traditional kitsune masks in Japanese celebrations.

Art was done by the very talented Michael Manco on Instagram.

Overly condensed backstory:

She's a npc from my post apocalyptic 1800s themed campaign. A once great hero, Elisabeth Dumont was destined for greatness. She rose through the ranks of the military remnants like a bat out of hell, fighting tooth and nail to earn her promotions. Elisabeth didn't want power or fame. She simply saw potential to restore the world back to it's orginal state through the soldiers she lead. Simply put- she was the top candidate to replace the previous commander of the remnants

Then it happened, Jackal-Sur the Red Wake attacked. Elizabeth and her men tried to defend their camp against the dragon. Gods- they really did try. It was a bloodbath, muskets and magic bounced off of Jackal-Sur's hide as it sundered flesh from bone. There was only one surivour, the burnt and charred body of Elizabeth.

The doctors tried everything but the cursed dragon burns refused to heal. There wasn't anything much to do but to bandage her and make a mask designed after her face. Her once goal of becoming commander was swapped on it's head. It was hell. She is a puppet and she knows it. People elected her not because she was a war hero. They elected her so it'll be easier to act behind her back. Multiple people used her voice to get gains while she was relearning to speak. Hosted important meetings while her assistant tried to help her out of bed. The worse part? She watched with unblinking eyes as her men grew drunk with power.

But perhaps with some help from a certain group of adventurers she'll clean up her court and get revenge...

Inspirations for her were Joshua Graham (Fallout), Baldwin IV, and Griffith (Berserk).

Her backstory is admittedly depressing but I dunno. Not everyone needs to have a happy life I guess lol.

Hail warriors! I wanted to share a bit of art I did for my home campaign. This is Anallise, the deathless king of Isle Lateran:

"All who keep the Providential Faith know of Anallise. She, born of virgin birth to the salt-flat pagans, led the armies of Lateran against the Invading Isles during the Mendicant’s War. She spoke with the open-palmed Saints of Old, and they taught unto her the Seventh Syllable of Providence — that which ensnares the mortal mind. To her followers she was proof of the Great and Goodly Works. To her foes she was an enchantress, in league with dark powers. It was for these latter charges that she was captured and burnt alive."

Artistic influences include The Green Knight and Elden Ring, and lore influences include Joan of Arc, the Virgin Mary, and the alchemical lore of the mid-Renaissance. No AI was used at any point, because AI sucks.

Not as impressive as a 3D printed mini, but white liquor store cardboard is free and I've had some old colouring pens for years. I'm honestly quite surprised the bit of shading around my Shoosuva makes it almost intimidating, despite the derpy look.

One of my characters has a +1 cursed (Yeenoghan) blood sword that can grow with kills. Since Yeenoghu rewards conquesting Gnolls with Sheesovu, I've decided that since they've cleared the prison, the sword counts as the Gnoll being rewarded. They'll have to fight and kill the Sheesovu, where the blood of the summon will be absorbed into the blade to make a +2 Rampaging (long) Bloodsword. The rampage feature will instead be an optional madness save which simply strikes the nearest target on a fail, instead of specifically an enemy.

I was thinking of giving it another ability by using charges from killing enemies, but I expect it will be OP like another magic item I made

I don't personally but one I don't really like are Paladins, I love seeing one as the DM but don't like playing
