Warlock Patron: Pact of the PS5 SPEAKING TO YOU INSIDE YOUR BRAIN
A Warforged that looks to be colored five distinct colors (head and torso, each leg and each arm) that is a magic swordsman. They like to yell out thier attack names and do overly dramatic posing and fight sequences and speaches about fighting evil-doers. But, if too much damage is done to the head torso section, it is revealed that there are five Tiny creatures, dressed up like Power Rangers.
Your party consists of three undead female bards and three living female bards on a quest together to take down the BBEG. Each of them reveals that she is secretly the BBEG’s disgruntled ex-wife.
Play a character who’s constantly making pop culture references, but as time goes on the references slowly keep going further and further back in time and more obscure. They start out referencing recent mainstream movies and/or memes, and eventually wind up referencing early cinema (obscure stuff too, things that none of the other characters or players will get, not stuff that’s still well known like Casablanca), and maybe even older works if the session or campaign goes on for a long time. The character keeps saying these references as if they are all the same level of relevance and relatability.
For an additional twist, reset back to modern references at the start of every session, and never address this.
Gerund, a syn-tactical mage who uses a grammoire for their unique brand of spell-craft
Concept: play a wizard who knows all their spells off by heart, and recites the magic words to both do damage and heal their allies. In battle a short incantation from them provides inspiration and rejuvenation, and their endless knowledge means they are skilled in many areas. They never need a spellbook, and can even wear armour.
Keep playing them as seriously as possible and see how long it takes people to notice you’re playing a bard who just doesn’t know what a bard is.
Dragon elf but their dragon is a dragonfly
A warlock with two patrons, a tiny angel and a tiny devil, who occasionally appear on their shoulders to give them morality advice
Tonight I may have had an encounter with the smoothest human being on earth.
As many of you know I work as an actor in a haunted house. This is a fun job for many reasons, but witnessing people’s reactions to being scared is by far the best. I’m a scare window actor, which means I hide behind a section of the wall that is held up by a latch that I can lift and drop away suddenly, scaring people with both my scream, and the loud sound my window makes upon being dropped. I have a small hole drilled in the wall to look through to see people passing.
The smoothest human being on the planet wore a white hoodie. He came in a group with three other friends. I did not expect to scare him much. After a while you can kind of gauge just by what you can glimpse from your peephole whether someone will be a good scare or not. Men in their 20’s in a mixed group of friends typically do not get scared easily. But this guy was wearing white in my blacklight-equipped hallway, so he had made himself an easy target and I had to take advantage.
I dropped my window precisely when he was in front of it.
He leapt back toward the wall on the other side of my narrow hallway and his drew back his arm like he meant to punch me.
“This is it.” I thought. “I’m finally going to be socked in the face for scaring someone.”
But I was wrong.
His arm kept curling back behind his head. Smoothly, flawlessly, effortlessly he tucked his hand behind his head, leaned back on the wall opposite me, and propped a foot up on the plywood frame of my open window, reclining with ease.
“So, come here often?” He asked.
All of this occurred within the span of a second. Maybe two.
I was shook. I was stunned. I almost broke character.
I shrugged. “Only on the weekends.” I replied with my character voice. His group laughed. He double finger gunned me and walked on.
I will never forget him.
I cannot stress enough how perfect his transition from his fear reaction to his playboy act was. It flowed so naturally.
He is already a legend in my haunt.
It’s the fight, flight, or flirt response
Oh, a bard
D&D Character ideas #8
A golem made by the Goddess of Hoarding.
They are literally made out of all sorts of scraps and pieces of trash, mixed with shiny stones, old coins, bottle caps and sea shells.
The character is just a human-shaped mosaic of everything their creator has hoarded.
WHY AM I SO BLIND
I’ve been making my character, Oremil, as a backup backup character for so many campaigns. BUT
There’s SUCH A BETTER OPTION! I COULD JUST MAKE MAFWY, HIS PET RAT, AS A CHARACTER!
It would have to be a setting with a Ratfolk race, or one that has Shifters, but STILL!
I miss that sassy rat with his Boston accent
