Onion Knight | Halfling Paladin (Oath of the Ancients) LVL 20 | Curse of Strahd campaign

Archetype: A cheerful yet brave halfling adventurer who uses both swordplay and magic to protect his allies and smite his foes.

Origin Story: Percival Greenfoot descends from an ancient order of paladins known as the Onion Knights, whose legacy had long faded into myth. Growing up in Barovia, Percy witnessed firsthand the suffering of its people under Strahd von Zarovich’s rule. One fateful day, an enigmatic man named Ben approached him, suggesting that he might have the power to change the fate of Barovia. For a year, Percy trained in swordplay and magic under Ben’s tutelage. Determined to rekindle the legacy of the Onion Knights, Percy adopted the title of "Onion Knight" and embarked on a quest to preserve life and light of hope in Barovia.

Last night I dropped a super cool reveal on the table...that I absolutely had NOT planned.

A Warlock player doesn't remember much of her past, aside from waking alone, hurt, and everything around her burning. She gave me a few things she wanted, and I built her a backstory around it...she doesn't know much. Part of it is that she was a member of a community in the past, and something bad happened there.

Last night they ran into a member of that community who stared at the Warlock like they were a ghost, and eventually came up and started talking to her. This member was saying things like "I buried you" and "I thought you were dead". The Warlock's first question was "did I have magic when you knew me?"

I have no idea why, but the first thing that came out of my mouth was "of course...every member of our Paladin order did". I've never seen a table be so shocked.

Luckily the Warlock had been asking about multiclassing, and Paladin/Warlock is a good multiclass. I did talk to her afterwards, and told her we could make a change if she didn't want a Paladin multiclass, but she went "no, that's what I had been wanting to do!"

"A survivor of a ruined city destroyed in the midst of a revolution started by the whims of a bored noble, Adders grew hardened and world weary, becoming a mercenary who works for high bidder, selling himself on subtlety and efficiency with taking out a target. Gives no qualms about killing, but refuses to participate in what he considers unnecessary cruelty."

Well, like everyone i fell hard for Jimothy the raccoon... As i was already planning to add more critters to my Paper world, i decided to make Jimothy as a mini for a future game ^^ Maybe a NPC the kid can get a quest out of ^^

I wanted to make a fun design that would represent Jimothy well but also fit with my world and all the other critters and characters ^^

I will definitively make more raccoon in the future..gosh Goose, Frogs, Meowls, im making quiet the collection of animals..

3D-print-ready Jimothy DnD miniature is here! 🦝

After posting him a few days ago I had a bunch of DnD players ask about adding Jimothy to their campaigns, so he's now available on Fab and in my Big Cartel shop. I'm thinking about making a Rabid Jimothy, Shaggy Jimothy, Baby Jimothy, etc... I'm open to ideas!

I'm new to designing DnD miniatures and usually create true to life sculptural work for museums and national parks, so I'm really excited to be here, learn from you all, and become part of the community!🏰

Super excited to see what you all create!

We're playing 5.5e and we're playing the lost city campaign from tales of the infinite staircase. Its been really fun, and a break from our main game tyranny of dragons. Normally I pay very complicated characters and push rules to their limit frequently, so I wanted to relax and just build a barbarian so I didnt have to think and could just say "I go up and hit it with my hammer" whenever it was my turn. Its been great fun but now we're on an island of undead and the first monster we encountered was a swarm of hands and it fucked us up real bad.

Within 2 turns I took roughly 40 damage, and we found out it was immune to necrotic, and resistant to bludgeoning piercing and slashing even from magical weapons. My barbarian in his infinite wisdom decided the best way to deal with this was to take out a blanket and tackle the hand swarm and wrap it up like the blanket was a bag. My dm allowed it and it worked. The rogue came over and helped tie it up, and then the fighter came over to give me advantage to throw it the 20 feet necessary to go past the cliff down to the ocean below.

Afterwards the dm read aloud the stat block to demonstrate how big of a bullet we dodged and went over the fact it technically wasnt allowed to be grappled or restrained. It had already been done so we let it slide, but I argued it wasnt a normal grapple since it wasnt with my arms and wasnt normal restraint since that usually means it was tied up with a rope or cuffs. So while we were discussing the mechanics I said it was contained, and now we have contained as its own status effect which is highly specific to each case, but specifically involves being put in a container of some kind vs grappled by hands or restrained by rope. Obviously it wont work every time and only some containers work for some creatures (like you couldnt contain a bee in a cage with bars, or someone who has a knife in a blanket) but i like that we've put a mechanic on it to make it easier to communicate going forward.

(Edit: paragraph breaks)

During a 1 on 1 session, I went through a dungeon to reclaim my character’s soul after an unfortunate TPK and an intervention from a less than favorable god. The mission was to get back this final, important piece of my body that connected me to the weave and made me whole again. As a part of this, the DM was running a disgruntled NPC who didn’t mind helping me to this item behind the absent BBEG’s back.

When we got to the treasure horde, I stated that I thought my character would only take their stuff, not some of the items he recognized from the other party members who died (I was afraid of the BBEG, and also felt more like it was stealing if I took back things that weren’t mine.) The NPC then said, “if it were me I’d take all of it. The BBEG only beat you all cause he got lucky. Fuck him!”

Now I found that argument convincing as the player, but I wasn’t sure if it was something my lawful good, very afraid character would do. So, out of habit of having just run a session myself a few days ago, I did a very DM thing as a player. I rolled a wisdom save, then asked my DM to roll persuasion with the NPC. This way, I left it up to chance if my character was convinced.

To my shock, the DM didn’t even question it. After an 11 WIS Save against a 21 Persuasion, my character walked away with heavier pockets and a feeling that they may have done something wrong. After the incident, I wondered what the implications were of being able to call for a roll from my DM…

Tonight, a new player joined an ongoing campaign that I’m in. He introduced himself as the guy who was going to play the joke character and likely die shortly (since it’s advertised as a death heavy campaign). His character idea? A walking, talking McDonalds apple pie (obviously he didn’t call himself that but that’s what the art was depicting) who was an advertiser for a modern day-style breakfast megacorporation. For context, this is in the Forgotten Realms, so a renaissance level of technology at the latest. He was teleported into the middle of our combat (since our last session ended in the middle of combat). For the entire night, he almost exclusively spoke about the breakfast company he was a part of, and often interjected in the middle of tense negotiations to ask if the people we were speaking with were members of a safari group he was looking for. His backstory also had little connection to what is going on in the story at the moment, so there did not appear to be much reason for us to be traveling together.

I found it VERY hard to roleplay with this character. I took this situation as seriously as I could, exclaiming in fear upon catching sight of him and asking if he was some kind of monster which my character hated (he was not, for the record). The other members of the party asked similar questions (like if he was cursed, if there was an entire race of apple pie people, etc.) but he didn’t really seem to understand why we thought it was so strange to see someone like this. My character (who already does not speak very much) spoke even less than usual and spoke the most when the apple pie man went somewhere else to trick some guards.

Now, I want to make it VERY clear that I am fine with joke characters. Hell, I’m even planning on playing a “joke-like” character if my current character dies (my backup character is a small tabaxi that looks like a house cat and I basically designed him to be the “sweetie” of the party that nobody wants to die since he’s a precious little kitty with a tragic backstory). I’m also not entirely opposed to some anachronisms in medieval DnD settings (my character in another similar campaign is slowly turning into a Clint Eastwood-like cowboy). However, I really feel that this is a bit much.

Am I wrong for thinking this? Obviously, it is none of my business what type of character someone else plays, especially since I’m not the DM. Despite what I’m saying here, I do think that I would be able to get used to this character, it’s just very jarring in the setting we’re in. Also, since this campaign was on DnD Beyond, I was able to see that he was a changeling shapeshifted into the form of an apple pie, which I think could be very interesting if he plays his cards right. Anyways, I’d love to hear some thoughts on all of this.

Two months ago, I came out with the Magical Code of Regulations, 500 pages of law governing the use of magic. It started as a fun little project while I was working as an auditor at the IRS, and turned into a whole worldbuilding project I don't think I'll ever truly stop. It has laws governing everything ranging from necromancy, magical conservation easements, and familiars, to dragons, fireballs, and Chosen Ones. Great for D&D players and DMs, lawyers, accountants, worldbuilders, fantasy writers, and people that just want a really cool coffee table book. I promise it is the most in-depth magical law you've ever read.

I've just surpassed 3,000 sales with this book with all glowing reviews thus far. There will even be an officially licensed Chinese edition on the way (more details to come later)!

In celebration of these milestones, I will be giving away three signed copies of my book with a free digital version, a customizable authorized spellcaster license, a few stickers and a bookmark, and a no-change audit letter. All you have to do to enter is comment below! Winners will be selected randomly on 7/31 using redditraffler, with only caveat being that your account must be at least 3 months old.

I appreciate all the support I've gotten from this community and others over the past couple of years, and if you'd like to support this project independent of this giveaway, you can find the Code at the following links:

Amazon (preferred): https://www.amazon.com/Magical-Code-Regulations-Spellcasting-Regulation/dp/B0GZF9PVQL/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0

NOTE: This is a U.S. storefront link. If you live elsewhere, this can also be found by using your country's storefront. If you live in the EU and your country doesn't have one, Germany (amazon.de) is usually best. I'll try my best to find options for anyone that has trouble getting it!

DriveThruRPG (digital only): https://www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/566282/the-magical-code-of-regulations

Anyways, good luck everyone, and can't wait to see who the winners are!

Edit: Also, for anyone that wanted a sneak-peek, Questing Beast made a great video on it! And if you happen to be a bookseller, the MCOR is up on IngramSpark. Currently the #1 bestseller in fantasy over the past month!
