Let's see what crazy character tumblr makes

A glittery floral patterned dice set in blue and white. Sort of inspired by patterns on porcelain and Portuguese tiles.

Numbers will be gold, but they're not painted yet!

Me making DnD characters:

Expectation: Okay, this character is a Phoenix aarakocra wildfire druid. She has only vague memories of past lives but just wanders around doing good and helping people! So when I play her she’ll probably be pragmatic, patient, and wise.

Reality: Furious, feral bird woman rampages against the institutions of the world and wants to burn down everything.

Expectation: Okay, this drow fighter has been held prisoner, tortured, manipulated, and has had the lines of reality blurred so much she doesn’t know what’s real. She’ll be angry, mistrustful, and broody.

Reality: Absolutely in love with life and it’s beauty, the sweetest little ray of sunshine. Utterly charms everyone she meets and delights in learning new things.

Expectation: A dragon spy posing as a courtesan and socialite in their tiefling form, tasked with spying on another party member who carries a dragon tooth axe. They’ll be cool, collected, and very suave. They’ll change allegiance to the party after a long time of bonding and building trust.

Reality: A nerdy disaster who doesn’t know how to process their feelings, who gets tongue tied the moment their first crush smiles at them and changes allegiance to the party in under five sessions.

My betrothed: What’s your next characters personality gonna be?

Me: Fuck if I know. Guess we’ll find out together.

tell us about Santos :3c...

My tav Santos!! He's a fighting x rogue class tiefling who's a bit worn out in life, but doesn't stop him from being the rock of the party. He's 143 years old and a seasoned weapons maker, tho it's been a few years since he's kept up with the craft. He dabbled a bit as a mercenary in his 90's, but ultimately ended up as a bartender in Baldur's Gate yearning to go back to guildwork. [Which is when he got abducted, after a shift]

Personality wise he's not the loudest nor quietest of the group (choosing to be the listener a bit more than be the talker). He can seem quite serious, but is relatively easy-going and is known to give some of his own snark back when need be. He's a realist with a good heart, but won't hesitate to lie himself (and party) out of situations and attempt questionable persuasive maneuvers to at least avoid some unnecessary bloodshed. (Tho sometimes he goes a little too far with the snappy remarks at enemies that leads to greater bloodshed)

He has a well of unwavering patience for his party members in the emotional sense, but gets incredibly exasperated by their antics and rivalry (looks at Shadowheart & Lae'zel, Gale & Astarion). He doesn't know what he's gonna do after they defeat the Absolute, but for now he'll just try and make sure that everyone in his party makes it out of this in one piece.

[Santos' tent, he collects enchanted weapons and borrows Lae'zel's grinder often]

Character Relationships:

He gets along very well with Jaheira since they have a very similar sense of humor, their friendly jabs turn into some very confusing flirting for the rest of the party. Likes to poke fun at Gale, who has a bit of a crush on him. Santos has some propensity for magic and spellcasting, but it's unrefined and he never bothered to do much with it, tho he does like to ask Gale to teach him a thing or two when they have the downtime and he has access to a wizard with knowledge that loves to talk. He rebuffed Astarion's advances quite quickly, especially since he realized why he was doing it, but they remained good friends regardless, which it seems Astarion really needed. He lets Astarion feed off of enemies since they're gonna kill them anyways, but offers himself in case if emergencies. He's really good friends with Wyll and Karlach and can be found sharing a drink often in their downtime, both of them having Santos barking with laughter. He's not much of a meddler, but he'll leave their hang outs to leave both of them alone in hopes it'll inspire something.

He and Lae'zel have an unspoken camaraderie as fighters and weapon masters, and she likes that he'll give her bullshit right back. He likes sparring with her bcs she has him eating shit and landing on his ass, but he learns a lot. He butts heads a bit with Shadowheart and Halsin, but they eventually remain on friendly terms and respect each other. Santos killed Minthara and has yet to meet Minsc.

Rather than draw Rise August or write stories

I spent the majority of today colouring in a sketch of a character that I'm calling 'Millicent Bystander'

I have no idea what her story is yet but I do know she's a human punching bag and totally jinxed

She's a mix between that one piccrew thing I did a while ago and a weird random jokey DnD session I got pulled into out of nowhere (it's a long story, basically a dude joined a discord call and told us to pick a character and I don't play DnD so I didn't have a character so I made up a girl who just watched from the backseat and was along for the ride and randomly defeated a villain with the power of her Bible and I called her Millicent Bystander)

Anyway I got weirdly obsessed with her and completely redid her

The calendar tell me it's July 27, Gary Gygax's birthday, so I rolled up a character -- 3D6 rolled six times in order referencing Holmes' 1977 basic D&D rules (his tidy edit of Gygax and Arneson's original 1974 little books):

Srength 8

Intelligence 13

Wisdom 10

Constitution 8

Dexterity 10

Charisma 8

In old school D&D this is a perfectly viable character with no penalties, before 50 years of stat inflation was built into the rules. He could be almost anything, but will be most capable as a magic-user, receiving a +5% bonus to earned experience for having a 13 in the prime requisite ability.

Magic-users and thieves get only a D4 for hit points in early editions, and as often happens I rolled a 1. Survival past the first few levels will be extremely unlikely, but it always was for those classes. He'll need to hide in the middle of the party and hope for the best.

3D6 x 10 for starting gold pieces results in only 60, but he doesn't need much gear. He'll carry some basic tools and a bundle of empty sacks to help carry treasure after his one and only spell is spent.

With Int 13 he has a 65% chance of having a specific level 1 spell in his book, and will have a minimum of 5 and a maximum of 8. He can roll in any order, and can reroll from the list if they fail to meet the minimum. On the first pass through the list he fails to know Detect Magic, Magic Missile, or Hold Portal, but his book holds Charm Person, Dancing Lights, Protection from Evil, Read Languages, Read Magic, Shield, Sleep, and Tenser's Floating Disc. From that list of 8 he can choose one spell each day to use, only one time per day. In combat Sleep and Charm Person will be useful for reducing the number of opponents.

It's the modernization it's the mechanization it's the way the old world has to die for the new world to be born and by killing gortash you've slowed it down but you haven't stopped it because ideas can't be stopped and the industrial world that will destroy your way of life is coming and you can't stop it by killing him any more than the luddites could stop it by smashing up a few factory machines

[leftsidebonfire]

I gotta build a dnd character for a one shot this Monday and I'm hitting a wall with creativity.

So I'm putting it up to a poll with my favorite options. Winners will make the character, second place will be my backup character in case I die!

Edited to Add: No Druid, because I'm currently playing a Druid in a long campaign and wanna switch it up

And no Paladin/Cleric because the DM said those two might have some "surprising effects" in this setting so I took that to mean it's going to be difficult to communicate with a Holy Patron here jfhfjdjjsjd)
