Had the chance to work on this art for a client recently! Here’s some basic info about the characters.

Left to right, top to bottom.
- Kalashar monk. He looks physically human but is almost always wearing a mask. He's extremely deadly, but is very close to his sister.

- Aasimar druid. He's very into growing vegetables and tending his compost heap, which may also contain the bodies of some cultists.
- Elf bard. She got a little tired of big city fame and is relishing the chance to be a small town bard for a while.

- Dwarf cleric. Owner / operator of hooligan's. Generally good natured but very protective of her party and the tavern and has absolutely no tolerance for drunks or creepy cultists.

- Goblin ranger. Small and green and grumpy but generally a good dude. Hints of a dark and possibly violent past, but mainly he just wants to cook. A real beer for breakfast type bro.

I got a request from a player recently to draw their character, a human fighter and knight. The player said they were a fan of my stylized work, and wanted their character drawn with the same level of heavy stylization. I’ll hopefully get to do their entire party in this style soon, but I wanted to share this one for now.

I didn’t receive much backstory, but they described the character as being very stern and protective, yet with a warm personality when you get to know him.

As for his appearance, they left it fairly open, so long as his look felt very medieval and not too modern, which explains the hairstyle and beard style I went with. They did request he have dark brown hair and some red in his attire, and that he wield a basic one handed sword.

Overall I am very pleased with how he turned out, as I like working in this style most. This is essentially my true style, it’s nice to draw the way things come naturally to me, and not try and be super “realistic” every time. I definitely look forward to doing more characters this way!

I received an early review copy from WotC and put together this guide.

I’m a huge fan of mimics in my campaigns and am trying to figure out fun (but not excessive) ways to use them, so , what are your ideas?

Edit: y’all are evil and I love you all so much

...And its been fun so far.

I'm playing a Diviner character in a Ravenloft campaign, and I talked with the DM and said my primary divination method was with Tarot cards.

By our second session, they'd decided to replace the weal/woe responses with Tarot card selections (and providing the traditional explanations for them). Its been fun; getting The Tower as a readout for one question definitely made an impression.

A recent commission I finished :D

Falrith is a young, hot-headed Tiefling with little anger issues. He lived a simple life in a small fishing village but after it was attacked and burned to the ground, he was forced to flee and found refuge by serving a baroness. What started as a means to an end turned into an affair that caused quite a stir. Long story short, he was banished from the area and had to flee again. The next spring, he was knighted as the "True Knight" by the Rotten Seer, to serve the realm.

Unfortunately, also because of his past, he is deeply skeptical of strangers, sometimes causing him to be hostile and aggressive and nasty right off the bat, even though he wouldn’t hurt innocents or civilians. He does not shy away from offering himself in exchange for a warm meal or a roof over his head — which is for him, purely a means to an end. But he has also a softer side and deep down he is longing for deeper connections and is a kinda touch/love-starved man.

I never had made a tiefling character before, but I saw an artwork that really inspired me to make this one. She’d probably an Eldritch Knight or maybe a Battle Master? Not sure. Her name is Sarah and she’s happy to be paid to loot dungeons and kill monsters. She’s a bit quirky and greedy, but always honest and fair in her dealings. Maybe if she met some special adventurers she could be swayed from her greed... But that won’t happen so soon cause I don’t have a campaign to play her, ha!

I don’t really like it from a gameplay perspective or a historical perspective, spears historically can be used in one hand even if it’s less efficient which in game is already justified by the drop in damage from a d8 to d6 when one handing. Plus as it stands there isn’t all that much reason to use a spear as a main weapon, when I could use a broadsword or rapier and get the same damage plus with a rapier feat options that go with finesse, it’s practically is just as a throw away weapon like handaxes but idk, i just think spears are historically sick and should be able to be used as a fun primary weapon.

Pros of giving the weapon reach

Cool niche as being a one handed reach weapon, only other one is the whip which is eh but that’s been the case for years.

Positioning in combat becomes more fun as you can reach things that can’t hit you while still being able to use shields or off hand weapons for more control like a revolver.

Cons…if they can really be called that

It outweighs the value of the whip, but honestly the whips deserved something to make it cool outside of magic item effects for a while, so maybe WoTC would buff it if they buffed the spear a bit.

It lets you abuse sentinel a bit more, which…eh? I mean don’t get me wrong sentinel is a good feature but it’s by no means unstoppable, it really doesn’t do anything in range encounters, missing the op attack makes the feat useless, it eats a reaction so certain classes just don’t take it on principle because they have better reaction use, teleportation exists, it doesn’t do much at locking down multiple opponents, spell casting is still infinitely better at control late and even mid game, so on so forth…plus if you wanna reach sentinel with a shield use a whip, that lets the build already exist in game. That’s not even bringing up how DMs ban sentinel sometimes (personally I think that’s a bit cowardly tbh it’s really not that hard to play against unless the entire party has it in which case woe be upon ye I cast ranged enemies).

It lets more things combo with shield master, okay so this I can’t decide if it’s a con or pro, shield master is weaker in 5.5 by a lil bit and still cool as hell.

All things considered i think it’d be a completely fine buff to give it. The weapon really isn’t strong enough to be broken by reach, and i just like polearms so more spear builds would be dope.
