Last week's D&D session illustration is a bit late, as life got in the way.

Having found the correct hiding-place just in time, the Volcano Team waited to see if the quori would believe Rook's lies about freeing it.

What they didn't know here is that their bard was about to accidentally lock himself behind a forcefield with the furious nightmare - and they'd all be trapped on the other side, unable to help him.

There may have been a small amount of panic.

🔥🗻Elemental Summoner🌪🌊

This is a Wizard/Sorceror specialised in the summoning and binding of elementals. This character is capable of summoning and binding at 9th level Wizard, but adding 3 levels of sorceror and the metamagic adept to get 5 sorcery points potentially allows for double-bindings and making them harder to resist.

The preferred sorcerous origin is storm sorcery as it unlocks the primordial language to ensure communication with the summons, and the tempestuous magic is useful for getting out of tricky situations.

My preferred Wizard school is Evocation as it is useful to keep active without endangering allies, though Conjuration makes for undoubtedly stronger summoner at high levels, and Divination can help with binding thanks to portent.

Binding Elementals

A problem with Planar Binding your own Conjured Elementals is that they'll rage when you start casting Planar Binding as casting a spell over more than 1 action uses concentration (PHB, pg. 202). The conjured Elemental will remain hostile when bound causing minor disobedience and potential danger. To circumvent this it would be best to get another wizard or druid to cast Conjure Elemental so they can concentrate while Planar Binding is cast and that way the elemental shouldn't become hostile, though it still is DM interpetation as to whether or not Planar Binding extending the summoning spell to be a non-concentration duration is brraking concentration. Unfortunately you cannot chain Planar Bindings on a conjured elemental, unless you cast it at a higher level each time, as it only extends the duration of the original spell and doesn't resest it.

The two main metamagics this character uses are Heightened Spell which gives binding targets disadvantage on their saving throw, and Twinned Spell which allows for Planar Binding to target 2 elementals at a time saving greatly on costs. Though when using Twinned Spell and upcasting Planar Binding for longer durations more sorcery points may be needed, I am unsure if there's a clear rule on if upcast spells are higher level spells, if they are then more sorceror levels would be needed to take full advantage of Planar Binding. Unfortunately, Extended Spell can't be used as it can only extend spells to a maximum of 1 day.

Interesting Possibilities

A really interesting possibility with a bound earth elemental is to use the Fabricate spell to construct a palisade on top of it, like a battle talus from LoZ: ToaK. This works best with a small race though as you want to really avoid encumbering the elemental. The palisade provides cover from attacks and dex saving throw spells, so playing a rock gnome would protect from most other dangers. Unfortunately there are no rules for such a structure in dnd 5e so you would need to homebrew it's AC and HP with your DM.

Also you can play this character as a druid instead of a wizard with the Mark of Warding Dwarf, as it provides magic circle and the Druid spell list has Planar Binding and Conjure Elemental.

Meet Kudos the Kobold! 🦎🍳🔥

I finally managed to wiggle my way into a Dungeons and Dragons group and I wanted to play a little guy!

Hopefully a lot of fun shenanigans ensue.

Opening the discussion on what class members of the batfamily would be if they are dnd pcs because in true nerd fashion, all my current hyperfixations must have intersection points even if it means creating one myself:

Bruce — battle master fighter (ngl superiority dice confuses me sometimes but imo it is such a versatile and tactile class to play)

Dick — college of swords bard or hexblade warlock (not as focused on the charisma/performance aspect of things but still makes attacks using charisma stats over strength stats)

Barbara — I’m torn between school of divination wizard or knowledge domain cleric subclass because the former seems a bit too on the nose but it does make sense?? Tho i also think cleric honors her role as support (also clerics are so underrated, spirit guardian is literally one of my top spells)

Jason — path of the berserker barbarian OR oathbreaker paladin (im not a big fan of the black-and-white alignment styles of like “oathbreakers are innately evil” but the fact that this is the common idea makes for great plot potential)

Tim — bladesinging wizard (ngl im not sure about this one but i picked wizard for the int stats)

Cass — gloom stalker ranger (literal definition of you wont know what hit you until you are hit)

Damian — half-elven(*) assassin rogue

(*under personal preference, everyone is human unless specified because the charm of batfam to me is always that theyre not “meant to be” heroes but consciously become one. HOWEVER, elven al ghuls just seems like such a cool concept)

[sesamenom]

alright you’ve been extremely extremely kind and indulgent to me about my oc and i cannot possibly thank you enough <333333 so MY turn now to ask YOU about YOURS. please tell me about maglor’s distant granddaughter who is also your bbeg?? .w. or about the chatty hobbits i would very VERY much love to hear about both!!!

~ @nelyoslegalteam, reporting from main <3

(long post, sorry for the random people stumbling upon this lol)

so I'm the dm for the chatty hobbits campaign and essentially it's set in a beleriand-adjacent continent, but with a few extra races and stuff. of the founders of the original settlements, the king of elende (the elf kingdom) is Gil-galad's (invented for the campaign) twin brother Finellach/Finwain. originally he was inspired by the fact that gil galad has a ton of names but only uses ereinion/gil, so I just invented a new character and gave him half the names. I headcanon gil galad as maglor's son, so finwain is in universe maglor's son (left at the havens with gil bc his wife divorced him for kinslaying and his kingdom, being next door neighbors with morgoth, is far too dangerous for small children).

Anyways, his descendant Elinyel (also known as aramire or elinnor) is the current queen of Elende! she's an evil fire-themed bard who is extremely feanorian in all the worst ways - her actual kingdom prospered under her reign, but she just does not care about everyone else as long as she's protecting her people. There were some tensions with one of the major kingdoms to the north (conflict over unclaimed territory between the kingdoms and some tariff stuff), so instead of risking the other kingdom starting a war and hurting her people, she just preemptively invaded it and started burned all the border territories to the ground.

her actual coronation was pretty weird- so she's the second child, but her older sister was born in wartime and there's a general belief in elende that children of peacetime make better rulers, so Elinyel was chosen as her family's heir. her grandfather (the crown prince of his generation) died defending Elende in one of the major wars, but his younger brother and two young kids survived. there's a whole feud between their houses because the brother chose to retain the kingship even after the kids were old enough to take the throne. anyways, two generations later Elinyel killed her cousin Arendil (the previous king of Elende) over a dispute about the legitimacy of his house (and what she believed to be a dishonoring of her grandparents' sacrifice) and took the throne.

obviously she has many Issues. arendil also has two surviving kids who are now essentially trying to stop her from murdering all their neighbors in proactive defense of her people.

however, when she first ascended she recruited her friend group as her elite guard/vassals of the kingdom. (aka the other bosses in the storyline). so it escalated to a war between her forces and the children of arendil, which ultimately culminated in her beloved sister being killed by one of arendil's children. this in turn led to her having basically a massive mental breakdown and feeling like she failed to protect her loved ones (exacerbated by some of her other friends being killed in battles she led). a normal person might decide this is was kind of her fault for starting a war and putting her friends in charge of the army. instead she decided she needed to destroy everyone who could ever potentially pose a threat. which is, in her eyes, literally everyone on the continent (except for her kingdom, of course).

so now she is at war with absolutely everyone of all factions! She is also somehow winning by virtue of Song almost on the level of maglor himself, and ten (now six) also incredibly powerful friends. Anyways, she has decided that the best way to wipe out the continent (except her kingdom) and start fresh is to literally find an ancient lost stone that can break the Doors of Night, summon Morgoth himself, and start the Dagorath. obviously this will Not go well for anyone at all if she succeeds, but she is on a full-on rampage and genuinely believes she (plus friends) can protect her kingdom from Morgoth's army while he wipes out everyone else.

Here's some old art of her btw!

And some slightly more recent unfinished art of her and the Evil Friend Group from when they were younger:

and here's (L-R) her cousin who is the 3rd boss, Elinyel, and her sister from before the war!

I'm a sorcerer but I'm better than other sorcerors because I wield not just one stick.

But two.
