I'd love to bring my homebrew to life with some wonderful pictures. Issue is everywhere I look is littered with AI art. Even if I try and filter out AI art it is hard to tell sometimes. Can anyone link/direct me to some websites or artists that have amazing non AI art please.

Made for artfight.

Mantra Ravidieu is a tall, cool glass of extremely tart lemonade. Alluring and sexy, she works for a criminal organization that retrieves rare magical components from difficult-to-access places. She and her pistol, Cygnus, make short work of anything that dares to stand in her way.

Her personality is Moriarty-esque without the incredible brains; charming but calculating, and she always gets what she wants. Think Vex from Vox Machina but more... evil.

'Ello friends.
Please excuse my wall of text, I will try and be as clear as possible.

I am an admitted novice, newbie, to the world of DnD. The game has always interested me, and a good friend of mine DMs so they started a game to help me get my feet wet. I was extremely excited, made my first character ever (Chaotic Wild Magic Sorcerer/Jester) and we started playing with the DMs long standing DnD friends.

We have a 5 person party including the DM and myself... Everyone has been nice enough, but there is one player who clearly HATES that I do not know what I am doing.
They are always dismissing my choices, putting down my suggestions, and during Roleplay-actively goes against my character whenever I try and make big choices. They are a pretty big personality so no one really goes against what they say; the DM does try and make my character matter-but it feels clearly forced.

Its making me dread each game. I am no longer having a good time.

I understand that my choices aren't the 'right' choices-I have no real idea what I am doing half the time but I was under the impression that was part of the game too.
This player never rolls low, always has the answers, has DMed their own games-they never NOT have something 'smart' to say, reminding me whenever I say anything how I am wrong.

My question now is how do I approach my DM and explain I want to stop playing, not because of them, or even the story, but because I just don't think this table is for me?

Update:: Just wanted to thank everyone that took time to comment, I do appreciate all the feedback, including the positive and also the ones that asked me to take a step back and consider my own role in the situation.

I still like the concept of DnD, despite how this first group has turned out. I think I will do as some suggested and look at local places for games with new players in mind-this time with a character that is not as complex as my beloved Jester (though, I will keep their character sheet because I have grown quite a soft spot for them and their story)

Thank you all again

Hello, everyone.

I started playing a Wizard for the first time and I plan to take Counterspell at lvl 5. The issue is that I can’t understand the new behaviour.

Under the 2024 rules casters are allowed to cast 1 spell that requires spell slot per turn. Counterspell is not an automatic success against spells of level 3 and lower (actually of the level at which Counterspell is cast) but always forces a Constitution saving throw.

Does it mean that:

- as a Wizard who has decided to cast e.g. Fireball, if the enemy uses Counterspell against me I cannot use Counterspell as a reaction to protect my Fireball? Cause in case my Counterspell is successful the Fireball will also go through and I will have cast 2 spells that require spell slot in the same turn.

- as a Wizard I can use Counterspell only to protect my allies when they are getting counterspelled?

- if my ally is getting counterspelled and I use Counterspell to protect them, my ally needs to roll a Constitution saving throw only if my Counterspell fails?

- a caster may fail to Counterspell any spell now, cantrips included?

- there is no benefit whatsoever to upcast Counterspell?

Thank you in advance!

Would you remove a class? Some spells? Maybe alter some fundamental rule?

Why wold you do that? And why do you think it would make the game BETTER?

edit1: pls dont see this post as an opportunity to just show how much you hate 5e and the state of the ttrpg culture right now, thats not the f point!

edit2: this is the DND sub, remember that.

Howdy all,

I'm writing a lighthearted campaign (at least to begin with) based around the party being contractors to a College of Adventurers, where they are the cleanup crew. When a student party goes wrong, or there's a lot of fallout from a more experienced crew having to run from the area, this lot will go in. Of course, there will be the obligatory plot over each one and some nefarious BBEG doing something in the background, but I need to populate each destination with some adventurous... Misadventure.

So! What has gone wrong in your games? Did you let loose a foul beastie on some poor town and run off? Did your sorcerer try to cast fireball next to a vat of flammable substances? Did you open a portal to the fire planes and leg it? Lemme know so I can steal them! (Plus I can let you know in future how it was cleared up if you like)

I’m so torn cause I want to branch out of this like super anti fascist, for the people character cause it feels like that’s all I ever play! Does anyone have any tips for being able to break out of this cycle easier?

I apologize if this isnt supposed to be posted here, I have found google entirely unhelpful and Im hoping someone knowledgeable will be able to help me.

Im preparing for a oneshot with some friends and Im trying to make my character sheet. I've only ever played two sessions before so Im very newbie.

The first time I played a coworker was our DM and I asked him if I could play a mermaid character. He said that didnt exist but I could choose to be ___ sea creature?

I did. Knowing very little about the race. All I know is they were supposed to have legs with big webbed/flipper esque feet?

Google is bringing up shark creatures and something that looks more serpentine but it wasnt that. All I remember is the feet. Can anyone help me out with this?? 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

so, i am gonna dm my first dnd campaign ever (i alreary dmd one campaign in pokerole) and i wanted to play with my three (already experienced) friends, one of them was my dm.

he texts me that he thinks in three they arent gonna make it, because they have suboptimal characters (one dhampir necromancer using 2014 rulebook, one tortle artificer battlesmith and one unknown but the player who hasnt already decided isnt the best at dnd). he says the dhampir is useless until lv7 (he multiclasses one level in warlock and says its a supporter, idk where did he pull it off) and the artificer player wont be able to play it cause, quote, "another player way better than him didnt manage to play an artificer" which i think is just a dumb argument (i can assure you he means no harm, he is just very rude and straightforward)

he also says three players is a bad number cause its a party too small, and he also doesnt think im fully able to balance out the encounters, and says they will die to the first encounter

meanwhile the first half of the campaign is more investigative, social, while the second half focuses more in fights and shit.

so, am i the one not getting it or is he just undervaluing everyone and everything?

(also if you're curious about the campaign feel free to ask, but i also might do another post about it cause i'm pretty proud of what i made, cause its a custom campaign)
