I’ve recently been getting really into dnd and decided to try and play around with what my main oc would look like in its universe! Ik these stats are like completely unrealistic probably but i wanted to show how much this guy sucks lol

I actually have a lot of ocs that would be really fun to redesign under dnds system so if this is well received i may post more in the future who knows

If you have any similar characters id love to see them i dont know a lot about aasimars actually

I've been running a 5.5e campaign, we're currently level 17 and everything's been going fine until recently. One of my players is a rogue bard multiclass and I let him switch from a valor bard to a sword bard. The problem is that it is impossible to challenge him and I'm fearing he's starting to become too powerful compaeed to the other players.

He has the defensive duelist feat and so combined with Defensive Duelist he is able to attack, parry as a reaction and get an average of 29AC per round, and due to 5.5 letting bards exchange spell slots for bardic dice he can consitently do this every round. This combined with the fact that he's a rogue with the evasion property means that simply throwing dex saves at him isn't really a solution and he's now stupidly tanky.

I'm not sure what to do, I've considered talking to him about swapping out Defensive Duelist for another one but I'm not sure if this is the right approach.

Edit: Thanks for the advice everyone, I've realised that this isn't really an issue at all and I've been massively overthinking it.

Sounds extremely obvious, right? And still there are many posts from people saying

"How can i organize a session if my players aren't responding to texts?"

"How can i get my players to read the rules?"

"How can i make my players get off their phones in the middle of a session?"

Guys, seriously? If someone wanted to play a game, they would respond to plans, read the rules, and pay attention while playing. How is it that when it comes to dnd, suddenly everyone forgets how rude and antisocial all the behaviors are? Stop trying to "make" people participate in a hobby just because they agreed to join a campaign on a whim, they cleary do not want to actually play.

If they wanted to, they would!!

Priestess of Malarachne ,Grand Widow Mother V'ladra High Priestess V'ladra Grand Widow Mother, Harbinger of Malarachne Grand Widow Mother V'ladra is the High Priestess of Malarachne and the living embodiment of the Mother Spider’s will. She is a truly ancient and powerful being, having witnessed the creation and destruction of more great houses than anyone in the history of the Umbra. V’ladra’s longevity is not merely a sign of her unparalleled cunning, it is also a sign of her deep connection to the goddess. Malarachne has blessed her with extraordinary powers and insights, many of which seem to bend reality itself. Under V’ladra’s singular guidance, the Church of Malarachne has thrived.

Commission I did for an old friend. I think it turned out really well. A wizard who is an expert in runic magic, secrets, and the occult. Makes use of tattoos across her skin which counts as her spellbook. Glyphs and symbols are her expertise but she is a notorious bookworm, speaks more languages than a bard, and generally has more book smarts than street smarts. Would live in a library if she could and cries over romance novels. Have her dressed in an ox hide dress and top with well made leather boots and a small pouch for a journal. She occasionally finds work as a tattoo artist in taverns and loves to hear stories from adventurers as she inks their skin like scrimshaw on ivory. Hope you like!

For me, it would be prestidigitation. One of the things it can do is clean stuff. Like I don't need to do the laundry anymore, I just cast prestidigitation on my clothes. I won't even have to use the toilet anymore, I can just poop in my pants and magic my pants clean like J. K. Rowling says a wizard does.

One of my fellow players has made pretty much every part of his roleplay about having sex with one of the npc's. Like he asks to roll to hide his boner or pull out or to see whether or not she has an orgasm, and it's become an issue for me. I don't mind some jokes or sexual innuendos, hell, last campaign my character had a romance with an npc, but it's gotten to the point where all our sessions seem to be are an excuse for him to have imaginary sex at the table. We haven't really advanced the story in weeks and I'm honestly getting tired of it. I want to advance the main story and my character's story, and hear about my fellow party members stories. The DM is his brother, but he's also a pretty fair dm, so I'm going to try and bring it up to him this week and see if he can talk to him. I am also the only girl at a table full of guys(3 players and our dm), so i try not to make a big deal out of stuff like this, but there's also been a lot of misogynistic and weird comments(comments about how my character should be raped, and about fucking my dead mom's ashes. Real life mom btw, not in game), and I'm starting to get really uncomfortable at the table. Last campaign this wasn't really an issue, but he didn't play with us last campaign. I just wanna be a cool fantasy character, man, I dont wanna feel uncomfortable in my own living room every weekend. Does anyone have any advice on how to bring this up? I think the sex part should be easy, our dm is passionate about his story and wants to advance and tell the story, but how am I supposed to tell our DM that I'm uncomfortable with the rape jokes? I have been chill and mostly acted like it doesn't bother me because I really like the world our DM has created, I like my character, and I really like playing dnd, but I feel like im an asshole if I say it bothers me now. It's always bothered me, I just didn't want to cause any problems at the table. It's getting to the point where I'm relieved when we have to cancel, because i feel less shitty on weeks we dont play. I hate this because I really want to play and not cause drama at the table, but I dont want to be the butt of stupid rape/edgy jokes anymore. If anyone has had to bring similar issues up to their DM, how did you handle it, and were you able to do so without trouble? I know I need to just talk to our dm, but I'm afraid of ruining the fun for everyone else because I'm offended/irritated by these things.

DM here - we're prepping to start up a new campaign with my usual group of friends. However, one of my players doesn't like how restrictive I've become with my character guidelines: I've asked players they all come from the same town on an island (isolated from the mainland) and knew each other growing up. I also want them to have a meaningful connection to a unifying NPC who will help tie them back together in their adulthood (and come up with what they did in the time they've spent away from their childhood home/friends).

Since this restriction is really different from my usual DM style, I had a group talk to let them know why I was doing this: I felt with my previous campaigns that there was so much diverse material (full map, several kingdoms, origins, lore, etc) and allowing everyone to be from everywhere/anywhere made it difficult to tie their backstories and motives together into the overarching group story. It was fun, but it was tiring at the end of each campaign. We all love story rich campaigns, but I'm wanting more cohesive/closer knit themes rather than diversity for the sake of diversity. Really the biggest change is how I'm approaching worldbuilding and backstory guidelines - but most if not all race and class options are all available.

While majority of my players like it, my one player is not happy. They already had an idea they were really excited for but it doesn't fit with the starting location (but it fit mainland themes, which the campaign is not taking place at for most of the campaign). The player is concerned that they're limited to having to play the same thing as everyone else, but I've reassured them that if anything, everyone has had a lot of fun with the restrictions by challenging themselves to make someone stand out within these guidelines. Not one of the characters are similar - the only connection they have is the NPC/childhood town.

I have communicated to the player through private text/voice to elaborate my reasonings, and while they say they understand, we're really struggling to find a middle ground on the character idea. Out of all the races, and several homebrewed ones I made, they haven't 'clicked' with any of them. I'm worried we're heading into the point of "maybe this campaign you sit out of" because I can't seem to have them really understand that I'm not letting anyone have a different start. I would hate for them to sit out, but I'm not sure how else to communicate to them that a fun, different character can be made even if everyone comes from the same town?

I'm not sure what I am doing wrong or what I can do differently.

Any advice or reassurance is appreciated.

I'm sure this doesn't apply to all players, but my lot absolutely love animals. My Ranger and Artificer in particular are both new to roleplay and yet they would lay down their lives for their Primal Companion and Steel Watcher. When the metal mutt fell in a river and sank to the bottom, my Artificer and Bard both jumped in after it and then got carried away by the currents.

Giving NPCs animal companions is another amazing way to get them invested. A flame goliath who's snake tattoo is actually just a black snake who likes to be coiled around his arm. A death domain cleric and gravedigger who travels with her loyal mule. An enclave of rangers who are lead by a murder of crows. A down on his luck tavern keeper, covered in burn scars, and his equally scarred dog who's blind and missing a leg. A dragonborn who's got a horde of cats.

Animals are the easiest way I've found to immerse people and break the ice between players and NPCs.

Giving the party animals they cannot readily take with them into dangerous situations like a feinting goat or a mule with a prosthetic leg (thus reducing his walking speed) can also discourage murder hoboing because they may need to leave their companions in the care of others.

Hell, I'm thinking of giving my Artificer a pet rock, bcs he keeps collecting them. I'm sure he'll name it.
