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.

These elf images embrace Cove perfectly.

Inspiration hit.

Classic D&D Setting Spelljammer Is Back To Rock A New Generation

This is not a joke and you’re not dreaming. We can officially say: Spelljammer Confirmed.

A banking system ran by entirely big frogs! They’re very very wise.

Tip! You can use the sims 4 to give you a visual on NPCs and layouts on buildings!

Crit Fail

That is GENIUS

Character portrait of Licht from our dnd campaign. He is a native Barovian, who joined our party more recently after our paladin died… he is already done with our shit…

My commissions are open. Please drop me a DM if you would like a character portrait of your own.

I am…honestly out of creative juices for Critical Role. It’s been that way for a very long while. Maybe that will stay that way, maybe that’ll change, but right now this blog has been mostly offline for over a year, with some long hiatus before that.

Now, I pre-wrote a lot of my posts on a document on my phone, and a lot of those posts didn’t make the cut in terms of humor or quality or just coherency. Those uncut posts will be the ones that I will be posting from now on.

The upside is that I’ll be posting a lot more, but the downside is that, other than the occasional reblogs …this might be it. Now, who knows what the future holds, but for now the next couple of weeks will be filled with “bad posts.” They’re probably not going to be as good, for all that my posts were.

This fandom has been so good to me, and thank you all for following my journey through it. I love Critical Role, and I’ll always love it, but I think my time as a creator might be drawing to a close. As I said, we’ll see.

Thank you all for bearing with me, and don’t forget to love each other.

Cassandra: *breaks his jaw with a controller*

DMs, how traumatized are your players? because two of mine just watched the new season of stranger things and both frantically messaged me separately saying ”I just had flashbacks to the campaign”

Also, they said that apparently I have given them such nightmares over my campaign that they literally saw the new season, and couldn’t help but constantly think ”Oh my gah, thats exactly like what happened in xyz event” and it has helped them continue to theorize over the plot of my campaign. But little do they know my like of thought for their campaign is thinner than a grain of cheese and loosely held together by a fishbone of a main plot.

Here’s some more of my boy, since you guys seemed to like him so much lmao

His name is Caspian and he’s training to be a light cleric

just a little tiefling boy raised on a mountain by a gaggle of nuns

Comic :0!!! A young Pandemonium and his personal doctor-

RPG classes?
No.

RPG extracurriculars.
Rather than picking one path to build your character, at each level you can choose minor powers and abilities. I think this could work in a “realistic” game like Call of Cthulhu (we’ll call it 8e, the Less Crunchy Edition). Or if you’re looking for a game that exists, the FATE system will let you play this kind of malleable character.

Actually a concept I’ve been quietly working on for the past few years. I’ve dubbed it the “colligate” system:

Each level you get 3-5 credits (depending on the level). You can spend them on anything from ASI’s to a variety of feats, which have costs and prerequisites based on what they do.

Rather than your class determining your features/skills, classes are a set of requirements that can be filled by a range of feats and other things (such as ability scores, skill bonusses, speed, or ac). If you meet the requirements for a class, you are considered to be that class, and gain access to additional feats that have that class as a prerequisite.

Obviously, this is meant to mirror the way college credits work in earning a degree (except, you know, classes actually mean something). And it makes character creation and leveling significantly more flexible and creative.

It’s hard to keep track of without computer assistance though (just like college credits, who would have guessed?). And because there is so much flexibility, there is definitely a lot of room for both ineffective and overpowered builds. My goal with writing the features is to keep them all relatively balanced, but to do so, I have to consider how they might interact with literally every other feature.

so needless to say, it’s taking a while to get anywhere

so in tonight’s dnd session we were tasked with tracking and capturing a serial killer who was targeting elves, who turned out to be a very racist ghost who hated elves my character got aged up though I’m an elf so it wasn’t that drastic two of our party went down, the bard healed the ghost thinking healing magic would hurt it but even so the bard successfully mocked the ghost back to the grave with two well worded insults

“your mother was easy for elves” and “not only was your mother easy for elves, your father liked to watch” thus successfully shaming the ghost back into the ethereal plain
