#dnd 5e character

Changeling druid.

Transform into a party member, transform into their familiar, become the being of pure chaos you know you were meant to be!

Since my bardlock (college of spirits and undead patron) Syori is probably one of the best and most fun characters I’ve ever played I thought I’d try and post some more concepts with an equally spooky theme!

- Using more of Van Richten’s Guide to Ravenloft: Kalashtar that uses the reborn stats, but instead of remembering a past life they’re the spirit the original Kalashtar was connected to and are trying to keep their friend’s memory alive. I like the idea of them being a grave domain cleric, but you can do pretty much whatever class combos you want.

- Undead warlock or death domain cleric in a Curse of Strahd campaign with Strahd as their patron. Make them get super excited over all the vampire stuff, but don’t let the party know who their patron is. As the campaign continues and they slowly learn how awful Strahd is they can start to go against him. Don’t use this to team up with Strahd, players joining the bbeg is a no-no unless the WHOLE GROUP is okay with it.

- Dhampir who was turned by Strahd long ago and has finally managed to return to Barovia for revenge. If you don’t wanna go the Strahd theme they can basically have been turned by any powerful vampire in the world setting.

- undead druid of spores who is basically a zombie and refuses to die until their body is either completely destroyed or they’re able to finish their life’s quest (whatever that may be).

- Undead warlock whose patron is your character that died earlier in the campaign.

This was supposed to be for outfit august but I ended up just drawing him in some workout gear and called it a day

Commission for someone on Twitter!

We’re starting our new campaign this Saturday!! I’m so excited to play Herris again !!

We’ve done a lot of planning for our next campaign recently, and it has me super excited to play Herris, my great-axe wielding firbolg!

Some sketches of my human cleric, Marriane!

Bellus,half-elf changling rogue

K3-260 - warforged blood hunter and certified friend

Áine’s wild magic turned her blue last week. :’)

D&D has been pretty dramatic lately. :’)

Gift for a friend & party member, our lovely rogue Robespierre

I drew up a little flashback pic from Ainé’s backstory. This is from when she was about 10 and before the family drama started.

I thought it would be cute to turn it picture into a Polaroid style image. (Also a sepia tone version)

Who likes bugs bugs?! I like bugs bugs!

1st photo is my d&d party!! Special shout out to whoever correctly guesses which character is mine :)

1. While other children played in the forest, I preferred the company old books; reading of myths, dragons, and great treasures for mighty explorers like me to find!
2. I wish to see my ideals realized and celebrated for what they mean about me.
3. I feel it my destiny to lead the Realms into a more heroic age!
4. I know my legacy is tied to the dark powers and beasts that be. I know among those butchering broods are people who I share blood with, and I fear I may not be able to harm them if they revealed themselves to me.
5. I believe in a better tomorrow for the Realms I live in, and I must make the future that I wish to see.
6. We have been fighting a losing battle for years, I will be the change that is needed.
7. I want to be seen as generous, I want to be feted and celebrated for my charity.
8. I’m in this for wealth and status, to live a life otherwise undreamed of.
9. I wish to be stoic, to weather the storms this fate will surely bring.
10. I wish to be known as just, a fair caster of judgment second only to the Gods.
11. I have seen the cruelties of wayward mortals and the tyranny of those who lead them. I will liberate this world and lead by example.
12. I want to be known as honest, never an oath-breaker, never a deceiver.
13. I wish to be viewed as righteous, such that none ever dare doubt me.
14. I wish only to be able to live a humble life when this is all over.
15. I want to be safe, to finally and truly be safe. I want to cease my worries.
16. I demand to find some respect amongst my tutors and work-mates, and hope my mighty deeds may contribute.
17. I want to know what it like to achieve my ambitions, to accomplish my dreams.
18. I want a family. A real one, a true one. One that knows my value.
19. I want my enemies to burn and die. I want them to know they were wrong to cross me.
20. Without leaders willing to do what they must, every person in the Realms will be lost to strife. I will do what others won’t.

1. You marched with an army and took part in a battle that ended with few survivors on your side. An arrow would have pierced your heart if it had not been for your amulet. Now you serve the god who spared your life.
2. You grew up under the cover of the forest. You climbed the trees, and felt the wind whisper among the leaves.
3. Ever since you were a child, you’ve been drawn to the fruits of the forests, to flowers, herbs, and lakes. You learned everything you could from herbalists and alchemists; the scent of every flower, and which plants nurtured life – or ended it.
4. You heard many stories of valiant warriors. You knew tyranny was till in the world today, and so took up your spear and set out on your grand quest to restore justice to the land.
5. You grew up without a real family or home. Instead, you sought out other youths who had run away or been cast out. You were called ghost children, and lived by stealing and performing odd jobs.
6. The figure in your dreams was horrifying. The things it demanded of you unspeakable. You thought you were losing your mind, until you dreamt the gnarled tree, and the treasure buried beneath. When the next request was the life of a local merchant, you knew at what price you could be bought.
7. You learned early on that you were talented with weapons. Soon, you were taken on by a warrior who taught you the mysteries of battle. You trained hard and long, and in time you became your master’s equal.
8. As a child, you learned to navigate in the darkness, deep below the earth. It was in the presence of the rock and the cold that you felt most at home.
9. As a child you learned that you were bigger and stronger than others. You had to work harder, be more responsible, and fight the hardest. Some idolized you, others despised you.
10. Terror stalked the fields and footpaths, striking at night and leaving only bloody entrails as evidence. You alone were brave enough to follow the monster to the cave where it laired. No weapons had harmed it before, but you were undeterred, for you knew to kill it with fire.
11. You have never met your mother or father, never had a family. Since you were little you’ve had to care for yourself. It has hardened you and made you strong, but a feeling of rootlessness gnaws within you.
12. You were apprenticed to a druid, and learned everything you could of the holy mysteries, of rituals and sorcery. Your master is long dead, but you still remember their words.
13. You have always been on the run from something. Never felt safe, and never had a lasting home. You have travelled from village to village, but have never been able to sleep with your back to the door.
14. As a child you learned to live in tune with nature. The hunt is your task, and even if you learned to kill, you also learned to honour the value of the life of every animal.
15. As a child you befriended a wise woman in the nearby forests. Soon you became her apprentice, and learned all about the history of your people, of ancient feats of heroism, and bloody wars.
16. You worked on a farm performing menial, laborious chores. You know everything about grains, cattle, and crops. But deep inside, you longed for something else.
17. You have never felt at home among your people, always keeping to yourself. You grew up in the shadow of your comrades. You saw things they didn’t see, did things they never imagined.
18. You were starving and flea-ridden when the priest took you in. In recompense you learned the ways of your god, how to shelter the needy, and give charity. There were some who wanted the downtrodden to remain lowly, and for those you had only the charity of your blade.
19. You were taught as a child that livestock are the source of life. As an apprentice, you wandered the plains, guarding your herd. You spent your nights under starry skies, dreaming of adventure.
20. You served a proud warrior. Carried their weapons and gear, took care of their horse, and learned everything you could. You dreamed of making a name for yourself, and of one day being your own master.
21. You were always perceptive, always curious. It soon came to the attention of your local militia, and you were handpicked to learn the duties of a scout. Many long days where spent hiding, watching the many dangers of the wilderness.
22. As a child, you sat by the fire, eyes like saucers, and listened to the legends of your people being told by your elders. In your mind, you travelled through time and space, and relived the fantastic stories. You made sure that you learned all you could from your elders, and it didn’t take long before you became one of the storytellers yourself!
23. Something happened that forced you to run for your life. Maybe you rubbed the wrong person the wrong way, maybe you were accused of something you hadn’t done.
24. You performed a pilgrimage that lead you across many dangerous climates. You reached your destination after many hardships, but you will never forget your perilous journey.
25. You took it upon yourself to protect a forest against the evil and violence of strangers. You lived in the cover of proud trees, one with the beings of the forest.
26. A learned figure took you under their wing and set you to studying the elder’s writings. The days were long, the learning hard, but in the end, you found that knowledge was the key to a better understanding.
27. A wise druid took you under their wing and taught you for a long period. It was an intense time, but also educational. Maybe your master is still alive somewhere…
28. You have always felt more kinship with animals than humans, and it is only on the back of your horse, with the wind whipping your face, that you feel truly free. Together you are one entity, riding as one across the everlasting expanses.
29. You sought the beauty of nature, away from the violent conflicts of civilisation. When you finally returned to the land, you did so with a newfound knowledge and strength.
30. You were always skilled with your fingers, and learned to master a craft early on. You expressed yourself through the objects you created. But they also made you long to see the works of the real masters.
31. You performed a magical experiment that failed catastrophically. Maybe someone was seriously injured, maybe you were banished from your home.
32. You found a strange artefact during your travels from town to town. You became obsessed with its history and the thought that it might hold magical powers.
33. You spent almost all of your childhood in the kitchen. Among the scents of soups, stews, and brews. You learned the secrets of spices and the joy of a well-cooked meal.
34. You were enlisted in a company of soldiers. You spent a long time in the field where you assisted with your magical or martial expertise. You saw comrades killed, but you managed to make it out with just an ugly scar or two.
35. You sought out a secluded location to immerse yourself in the study of magic. You lived off nature and your books and scrolls were your only companions.
36. You took employment with a local lord and served as his arcane advisor. Maybe the lord had a hidden agenda, maybe you got into a conflict with higher ranking advisors. You learned much about people in positions of power.
37. You grew up on the road, in the forest, and on the plains. You have never been able to settle in one place. Your restless legs won’t let you.
38. You worked as an entertainer, using your knowledge of magic to perform illusions and tricks. Maybe you worked at a run down inn, maybe you were employed at a lord’s court.
39. You learned as a child that the ownership of objects is nothing but a fleeting thought. You have always had a talent for acquiring things that aren’t yours. It’s like they just… appear.
40. You planned and successfully performed a heist. Maybe it was against a rich peddler, maybe against a local lord.
41. Guilty or not, you were caught and thrown in jail. You had to spend a long time in the darkness but never gave up. Finally, the chance to escape emerged, and you took it.
42. You disappeared into the woods and joined a band of robbers that lived off peddlers and caravans who stumbled into their path. Life in the forest was carefree and good for as long as it lasted, but in the end, the robbers were ousted from the woods.
43. You earned a living as a competitive rider, and travelled from village to village, castle to castle and competed against other riders. As long as you were winning you had a good life, but when you started losing, it was time to move on.
44. Your talent drew the attention of a local lord and he offered you a place as an entertainer at his court. Your time in the castle was filled with wine, delicious food, and clinking silver. But also insidious intrigue, assassinations, and jealousy.
45. A ballad or story that you wrote became immensely popular in the surrounding area. To this day, you hear local minstrels performing your piece.
46. The hunt was everything. You tracked the beast over land, water, and mountain. At times, the roles were reversed, maybe at times you were the prey?
47. A nobleman noticed your skills and hired you as his forester and hunter. You lived a good life, half of the time in comfort in the lord’s castle, the rest of the time hunting in the woods.
48. You realized early on that you had a natural talent for archery, and set out to become even better. When you visited a large village or castle, you participated in a competition and won.
49. You learned your talents as a guide to those who paid the best. You led caravans of peddlers, troops of soldiers, and curious adventurers. You learned the art of traversing the wilderness and living off of it.
50. You commanded a squad of soldiers. Your comrades looked up to you and would die for you. But something happened, maybe you were betrayed, maybe defeated in an ambush. Your comrades fell or fled, but you survived.

17. You were born underwater.
18. You were born in complete darkness underground.
19. You were born in mid-air.
    
20. You’re the image of a wizard a beholder encountered and dreamed up. The magics the wizard used twisted into what the sorcerer uses today.
    
21. An arcane experiment gone awry caused a sage’s thoughts to be brought into reality. Your birth was but one of the bi-products.
    
22. One of your parents didn’t keep you at a safe distance from their experiments, the lingering magic still has a hold on you.
    
23. During a particularly cold winter’s night, you crawled forth, fully emerged, from the family fireplace.
    
24. As a young child, you were asked to hold something just real quick in the middle of a spell while the parent/teacher/etc stepped out.
    
25. You were sentenced to death for your crimes, little did they know, you merely played dead, seemingly surviving the magical execution.

33. You were always terrified of being alone, and so began establishing links with strange and otherworldly creatures.

This Post was made possible thanks to the contributions of our Discord Community!

1. True Love. I fear true love, of being in the presence of a purity of emotional honesty that I will never know.
2. Famine.I have seen those who die by starvation, a death of indignity. I know how easily I too could suffer such a fate. It puts a sick feeling in my gut, one that is not easily remedied.
3. Deep Water. I fear the dark abyss of the Sea, the uncertainty of what lurks in those endless depths, and the writhing creatures beneath the waves that may seek to steal my soul.
4. The Wilderness. I fear the dark of the woods, for I have learned and made known of what dark things dwell within such places.
5. Cowardice.I fear being revealed a coward, that in some act of horror I will do what it is only natural and be forever shamed.

7. Loss of Control. I fear loss of my self, loss of my being; my face, my ego. I worked so hard to be notably myself, and to have this marred and invalidated, to look upon myself and not see me…that terrifies me deeply.
8. Undeath.I’ve witnessed the terrors of undeath, of spectres and skeletons, and so I fear my corpse may not stay motionless forever…

51. It’s been over 700 Years since your death, yet you reawaken on the grey beaches of the northern coastlines, surrounded by squid ink and a dull red light to your skin, with no explanation for your rebirth besides dull strings of smoke that rose off your body and blew in the wind towards the moons above…
    
52. At the times of the Dawn War, you betrayed the Mortals and Gods one too many times, being tossed into The Demiplane of Exiles in the deepest parts of the Astral Sea.

53. While on leave from your Ship on the small Isle of Outlander Rock, you saw a mighty Red Dragon bear down on the Island’s Mighty Fort, leaving it in burning ruins.

54. You were a Warlock to a creature beneath the waves, but in recent years, they have gone silent, only sending you images of dark, malformed tentacles and blackened waters filled with bones.

1. You stole something valuable from the wrong person, at the wrong time. You were hunted and had to run for your life.
2. A rival saw you as a thorn in his side. For a period, your fates were intertwined in the most troublesome ways: love, money, and work. In the end, it was too much. You were challenged to a duel, and you were injured. Maybe your rival is still out there somewhere.
3. A strange group of odd peoples seek my doom for what I am and what I represent.
4. A Mage of immense power believes that if my head is on a spiky pole, it will increase their position in the Realms.
5. I was discredited for an act of heroism I performed. Someone else stole claim for my deeds. I’d rather no one know of this, it is still a stinging wound.

7. A blood-seeking vampire has, on more than one occasion, sought me out.
8. A warlord from times long past still desires I die in combat to them.
9. A cruel necromancer is known to make living corpses of their enemies, and how I’ve remained alive despite this enmity is a vile riddle I try not to think on.
10. I awoke one night to an assassin sitting upon my chest with a jagged dagger at the ready. I beat them back easily, but every time I go to sleep, I dread their re-arrival.
11. A clan of savage men, women and even children all seek my head for their own glory.
12. A famed and untraceable killer is very notable for screaming my name while they butcher other innocent beings.

1. My valiant defence of a wealthy patron was rewarded with a title and a promise that they will always protect my bloodline, and I theirs.
2. It is in the forests that I feel most safe, for I know that its creatures will always protect me.
3. You sought out an association of thieves and became a part of the community. Together, you planned heists, and carried out dangerous missions.
4. You lived amongst a gang of thieves from a nearby settlement. They were greedy but they knew their place, never taking more than was truly necessary for both sides to thrive.
5. I tricked a fast-talking swindler into handing over some of their precious coin. At first they were furious, but then they were impressed.
6. I worked with a savvy merchant for years, they always seemed to know what it is I need, and sometimes more than happy to provide.
7. Among my greatest allies is a master artisan, well skilled in their craft and worthy of respect.
8. I’ve made alliances with an agent of the higher powers, who thinks me a worthy ally rather than some mere asset.
9. My most loyal and true friend is a simple and lowly pickpocket, who amuses me and is often good for local gossip.
10. A powerful ally I have found in an old lover, now inhabiting a position of power and who always claims to be past our failed romance.
11. I have found a good friend in my former master, who may not be the most kind but is still of great value to me.

13. Though a fair-weather friend, a mighty ally I have found in a group of local hunters, skilled in tracking dreaded beasts.
14. I’ve aligned myself in the past with a tactician who will surely prove useful in any coming conflict.

1. Never meant to be: I was rejected by a lover, one I thought truly loved me back.
2. Scorned by the Gods: The Gods have turned their back on the Mortal Realms and still cast shame upon those who fall to war and disease in their absence. I do not voice it openly, but this does not seem fair nor just.
3. Once a Criminal: I’ve engaged in theft before, I’ve even been caught. It was a low moment, but I’m bitter to how it colours my character.
4. Differing Thoughts: I was condemned by my order and masters in the past for daring to speak so openly on topics they deeply disagree with.
5. So Scandalous!: I was once part of a scandal within a noble city, the sort that follows a person and causes mockery when it does not cause death.
6. Luxurious Living: I dwelled for a time in hedonism and luxury, allowing good folk to die in my stead.
7. Stolen Alias:I steal valour from the dead.
8. Cursed!:I suffered from a terrible curse for many years, it ravaged my mind and ran ragged on my soul. I was freed only recently, and I fear what darkness I may have indulged in while under it.
9. The Replacement: I was replaced. I had been gone for a moment, recovering or just away like anyone should be allowed to be. I returned and I was replaced, so easily. They lavished praise upon my replacement, they claimed them better than I ever was. I fear my companions may do the same with me.
10. Twisted Mercy: I think the worst part about the tribesmen I fought was that they did not kill me. One grabbed me by the throat and screamed I wasn’t fighting properly, that I wasn’t giving it my all. That they knew I had a purpose, a power, and that if I wasn’t going to fight to their joy, I may as well leave. To be given “mercy” by such wild peoples, I cannot stand for that mark on my honour.
