Five #TTRPG characters I've played Note: Most I have played as NPCs that originated from character stat blocks. 1. A High Elf wizard (Abjurer) who loved magic and magic items, so he started adventuring to catalog new enchantments and create magic items. He was heir to be a king

Please please please let this catch on like wildfire

@DungeonGlitch GMing is like buying the party a new toy and watching them play with the box - and that's okay. Improv comes in time, so don't try to force it.

I want to cancel my DnD Beyond subscription in the wake of the new OGL stuff, but not all my players know how to do stuff manually. We already use a free VTT (with dice rolling) and I made my own initiative tracker, so those are not worries. (2/2)

Is there an alternative for online resources for (online) 5e campaigns? Preferably one that does character sheets automatically, and the DM should have access to these characters. Homebrew compatibility is not necessary, but would be handy. (1/2)

OGL "2.0's" FAQ was leaked to a handful of creators yesterday. In it, they lie about 1.1 being a draft, and hide doubling down on bad choices with a couple partial concessions. 1.0a is the ONLY way forward. It doesn't matter what they give up in any of these "drafts". #OpenDnD

People are always like you should reach out for help. But when you do, people often use it against you. Being like oh you're only doing it for attention. People twist it into a bad thing and use it as an excuse to attack someone they happen to not like. And that's messed up.

Before I go to bed, I wanted to say this. I love the art community deeply. When AI artists steal/co-opt art from us I don’t just see art, I see people, mentors and friends. I don’t expect you to understand. #artcommunity #aiart

In an ideal world, I shouldn't be working. Cause my health is deteriorating fast. I'm basically sacrificing my lifespan to make money. Just so I can improve my quality of life and not die. If I didn't work, I would have died awhile ago. It's not easy being disabled like me.

Inaccessibility is not just a one-time thing that blocks a disabled person. It is a continuing harm that excludes, excludes again and then excludes some more. It is a “Disabled People Keep Out” sign.

@StinkRatsCharms Hi, I'm Todd. I'm missing my left foot from an accident when I was three, and am currently slowly recovering from familial abuse. I don't really have any links as of yet, but I do a lot of 5e homebrew stuff. I plan on doing something with it eventually. My cashapp is $TmOnefoot

To add on to this... If the conversation comes to music, I hide the language of the music I like to listen to. I listen to a lot of Japanese rock and pop music - and don't want people to assume I'm a weeb just for liking the music.

@stevenspohn All of it. I'm disabled and most of my humor is based on it. I play a lot of games with peopleI'm close with. When meeting new people, I'm next to silent because I have a hard time talking. I'm also good at faking an entire personality at work.

Nightly Question: What part of your personality do you hide until someone really gets to know you?

@lynelmilk Power Specifically, he's a Tiefling Fiend Warlock that wants to overthrow his patron and take the position and power for himself. But it's not out of greed (kinda) moreso of convenience.

What the fuck is going on, America??

@Mechtronic1 My largest problem with it is that spellcasting is a shared resource with divine smites. Yes, it makes sense mechanically as the two are both very powerful, but it often ends up as a decision of "do I cast a spell" and "do I smite"

@Onefoot_ Compelled Duel forces a creature to fight you and makes them do a wisdom save if they target anyone else Shield of faith boosts your AC by 2 Divine favor boosts your damage by 1d4 for 1 minute and stacks with your normal divine smite All that just at level 1!

📝TTRPG Chats📝 We all have character types/roles we enjoy playing, but what roles do you typically avoid? 👀

@Mechtronic1 Other than Smite spells, what choices do Paladins have for Bonus Action?

@Onefoot_ @MissMindykins Paladins get lots of action economy. With the mixture of close ranger and caster, they can utilize their actions and bonus actions to the fullest while keeping their reactions open for opportunity attacks with that delicious DIVINE SMITE

@MissMindykins There's one Paladin subclass that gets Spiritual Weapon as an Oath Spell - Conquest, I think - and honestly I think that's the only Paladin I would really enjoy playing. If I play Paladin again that's what I'm gonna do.

@Onefoot_ Oooh that's fair! I've not had a chance to dive into a paladin but I do love doing all the things when I can lol so that I very much relate to!

I also hate the 'surprised' reaction they have to it, like they expected you to be 100% able bodied

@wonder_cripple "You can't even tell" Like no shit if you could tell your reaction to me as a person would be entirely different
