Would your party let this little guy guide them through a dark dungeon?

This is Ignis, a tiny glass-and-brass construct I designed recently. Instead of a typical heavy warforged, I wanted something delicate—a silent flame living inside a lantern-like core that reacts to magic nearby.

Since I'm still learning different character builds and lore options, I'm not sure what class fits him best. Artificer creation? Celestial Warlock? Clockwork Sorcerer? How would you lore him in D&D, and what stats or abilities should he have?

This post is just for fun, no advice needed.

I'm DMing a HB campaign for a party of 4 (2 seasoned, 2 nbs), and Britt (Goliath paladin oath of devotion) has a character that is following a pretty well worn character arc path. Her motivation is accomplishing great things, becoming a hero, and becoming a powerful warrior and it has not been going great for her. Lots of bad luck rolls, good ideas that just didn't work out despite me trying to be pretty accommodating since she's very new, and it's been getting to her character, especially because she's not doing great in combat yet.

We've weaved it into the story, especially because her character started out offering to be the party's baker (ie sweet and naive) and has gotten tot he point where she's drawing her sword first and asking questions later. Essentially, the darkness and the desire for strength is creeping in. Perfect. What a great time to tempt her!

We're in an arcane research institute full of crazy items needing study. She's upset that last encounter everything she tried failed and she ended up running away. She's even wandering alone in the halls fuming at her uselessness! I couldn't ask for a better set up to sneakily offer her a cursed item that offers great power at a cost that she won't recognize until a plot appropriate moment.

She stumbles into a room with arcane weapons, and a warhammer reaches out to her telepathically. "Noble one, do you seek strength? Do you wish to wield me?" She picks up the hammer, sees digits forming, goddamnit she even sees a vision of her brother she looks up to wielding a similar warhammer with the same sigils.

"What do you say to this weapon?" Deadass she looks straight at me and says "I'm just gonna put it down and walk away." I damn near fell out of my chair.

TLDR: player gave all the flags they were following a seeking power at any cost trope and pulled an anime trip up on me at the last second.

So this character is a Medusa/Gorgon fighter who always puts on a smug, arrogant expression, but it’s actually just a mask to hide her true emotions.

I really loved this concept, so I tried to explore her feelings through her snakes instead, giving them different expressions and reactions. Also, a few of the most aggressive ones are hiding in the shadows, just waiting for the right moment to strike.

Hello there adventurers, here is next art for my little project. As I said in previous post this is not a commissioned work , what I usually post here. I drew this for players and DM for free use. Few years ago I started to redraw monster book, and now I want to restart it, as I made my old drawing style a bit more solid, and now I know what to do with all of it. So the community will have some alternative looks for the monsters and creatures. I just see no point in drawing exactly what we already have. So this is some random Aaracockra guy, how I see them , yes yes! Soon I will deliver next art , hopefully in a week or something.
What do you think guys of it in total, and if you have critics- welcome, feel free to put some words here if you have something to say! And as this is just a monster art, I have no backstory for it, but this kind has some scaven inspiration. You can find the description in official book or in net, pretty easy to find. Well, maybe you will adjust the story for this view if you use it for you campaign. This is all what I wanted to print here. Will be glad to see your feedback.
Stay safe and have a good day!

This is my Arisen OC. They were pieced together by a man obsessed with playing god, stitching together what he believed were the finest parts of two different corpses. Their body is a fusion of an elf named Cade and an orc named Imish. Even their mind is shared, with their brain being formed from half of each person's original brain. Most of the time Cade remains in control, but Imish still exists within them and can occasionally take over.

My favorite part of the concept is how their classes work. Cade is a sorcerer, but a natural 1 can trigger a struggle for control. After rolling the natural 1, she must succeed on a save. If she fails, Imish takes over the body and becomes the active personality, fighting as a monk instead of a sorcerer. While they share the same physical form and stats, their mental stats, minds, memories, and personalities remain distinct.

For their long-term story, I want to explore the idea of two separate people trapped in the same body gradually growing closer. Over time, Cade and Imish begin to understand one another in ways nobody else could, eventually falling in love despite their unusual circumstances. Since they are polyamorous, they would also be open to finding another partner, creating a unique relationship built on trust, understanding, and shared experiences.

It's been so much fun working on this. And also tiring, it's a lot to do for one person lol.

Is there any class or race that I can use for this? My player really wants to make a ghost character. Im not sure how will that work and is such a character even able to die? Are there any homebrew or in book races or classes that are ghost related or have ghost like traits or abilities?

Just ran a fun one-shot yesterday and used an old technique I thought I'd share.

Bandit cut down the tavernkeeper the party was emotionally invested in/wanted information from. The bard went next and the immediate question was: is she in death saving throws?

Correct answer: "sorry, only PCs get death saving throws."

Taking it easy on the players and adding a ticking clock: "you can see a limp hand covering her wound as her eyelids flutter. She's in death saving throws."

Hacky third path I recommend: "You can do a medicine check and find out."

More often than not, players aren't wasting an action in combat on a medicine check for a lowly NPC. If they are, you know they're invested and this NPC isn't so lowly afterall.

It doesn't feel like you're taking it easy on the players, and you give yourself time to decide if the NPC is actually dead, but if the party puts a bunch of resources into saving the NPC you don't need to stonewall them and waste their efforts.

Hope this is helps any new DMs! And veterans, if you have other options I'd love to spruce up my box of tools for "keeping the plot alive".

Let's say a disguised PC tries to get information from a cult member by acting like one of them, but the cult has a strict rule, that it's not allowed to talk common in the cult and can only talk with the made up language they use between cult members.

As a DM can I ignore the dice roll and make the PC get caught no matter the roll? Would my players get upset since I'm quite sure half of them are here just to roll dice, and is there any better alternative?
