New homebrew origin!

Introducing the Vestrales! Inspired by my love for plant characters and by the Alicante family I already drew and play in DnD

Feel free to share your own Vestrales with me!

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

Sort of progress but Min-su’s comphredendable god form without any of his adornments. God of Knowledge, Air, Spring, and bards. The Jade serpent of the East

Min-su’s daughter, Ayano. She is the goddess of theatre and considered to be one of the muses

Maximilian the ancient elf x sky elf wizard

Remaking a pandaren into a homebrew orc. Yuji the monk turned death knight. Here is her fancy outfit and a more combat based outfit plus her death knight armor and look after death including her killing scar

When I moved away from home,

100 miles or so

I knew a change had grown

inside my awkwardly long limbs

and bones

Min-su and his heavenly polycule. From left to right in his arms are Satoshi, Chi-hun, Ari-rae, and Lan Fen.

Satoshi and Lan Fen belong to Chronolink and LavenderFang on toyhouse. Might finish this later

Finally drew and updated a design I got. This is Jun Shi the leader of the fox-folk in the homebrew world. He and his brother, Lan Fen were blessed by a fox spirit giving them 10 tails.

If you can guess who he’s based off you hey a star

Touma is Ichika’s twin brother and the forge cleric in the party. Did this design for my roommate playing him

Bai Yazhu Jadefang. First husband of Long Xue. The serpent master general. The Jade hand

Chi-hun getting an update for the homebrew setting as an ancient elf.

Satoshi the God of Strength and one of Min-su’s husbands. He belongs to one of my roommates Chronolink

Like carillon bells,

the house of Augustus rings

With the echoing hymn of my fellow passerine,

they took to it

Like a fox to a burrow,

like an eagle to an aerie

And my god,

it’s getting hard to even hum a single thing

You were the song that I’d always sing

Ichigo had a rough first full moon… detail close up

Have you ever had a dream

That your favorite baby’s drowning

And you grab him by his sweater sleeve and pull him up on to the ground and

You can hear the water slosh around inside his tiny gut

Push his belly up and down but he can’t cough the water up

Suddenly a flood comes out his mouth till there is nothing left inside of him

He’s empty now

There isn’t even one small breath

And he goes limp in your arms

All the people’s mouths are moving

All you hear are car alarms

And you wake up and start to cry

I will lose my shit if even one more person I know dies

So please don’t die

The start of the second era of silence when the infant deity of thunder was stolen from the primordial god of air. God of knowledge and patron god of bards. Silenced himself to spare the world his mourning cries. There in his grove of wisteria in a vanilla twilight

Min-su as a young god in the form of a mortal elf with his future husband Ari-rae. The Jade dragon and his white rabbit

Under the wisteria tree enjoying the spring

Ichika is my spore druid for my roommate’s first dnd campaign. He’s got Finn’s voice from Adventure Time

Homebrew Lineage: Vitreous Remnant

Inspired so very much by the Dawn Machine/Clockwork Sun of Sunless Sea and Sunless Skies. The whole light-that-turns-people-to-living-glass thing is such a horrific and cool idea to me. So. A 5e lineage, in the style of the Van Richten’s lineages, for characters who have survived the touch of an alien, vitrifying light on a world where such things exist, where an alien force called the Glow, an eldritch, perhaps sentient radiance, breaks through the walls of reality every so often and turns everything living around it into glass.

(THESUNTHESUNTHESUNTHESUNTHESU—)

VITREOUS REMNANT

Beings of living, moving glass, transparent and tinted just faintly golden, the faint shapes of what were once veins and muscles and organs visible beneath their surfaces: these are the vitreous remnants, the fearful results of exposure to the Glow, that hideous, unnatural radiance that haunts our world. Where the Glow emerges, forcing its way into the world once more, all living things beneath its gaze are transformed, slowly and horrifically, into glittering glass. For most, this vitrification is fatal. For some, perhaps less lucky, this transformation is the beginning of a new existence instead. Undying, no longer flesh and blood, regarded with pity or revulsion by most who encounter them, vitreous remnants must find or make their way anew in this world. The trauma of vitrification, the unnatural touch of the Glow, is immense. Some remnants go mad. Others forget, both their transformation and all that came before. And others, some few, remember everything, and cling with all their might to the memory and knowledge of who they once were, even if they can wear its shape no longer.

VITREOUS REMNANT TRAITS
