Bael, The Bronze General, Duke of the third layer of Hell! 8 feet (2.4 meters), telepathic, can transform into other humanoid species, make illusions, mentally dominate creatures, turn invisible, and fly! Also supernaturally frightens anyone nearby, though he can turn that off! He's a brilliant tactician, a terror on the battlefield, but is actually happy to show mercy (he'd much rather have an ally than a corpse).
As for personality, he's a straightforward guy with a skill and interest he likes, but is privately frustrated because he can't seem to rise in rank. He's just too naive. The political hellscape of hellish politics is the one place he's just outmatched. Most people know he'd be a much better choice for ruler than many of the actual archdevils. But while some seek to help him because of this, they're balanced out by all the people who eventually wish to rule. They prefer having someone less competent on the throne, makes it easier to steal it.

It's finally done after many years, our final subclass for our project! This is the Cleric Subclass: The Domain of the Godseeker. A godless cleric who is able to summon spirits to fight alongside in battle.
You can read the entire subclass here: https://homebrewery.naturalcrit.com/share/9a0INM4oAH7t
This subclass was designed by @darksnowman13
Now that we have a subclass for each of the 13 dnd classes, our main efforts now will be in rebalancing older material that we have already made. We come a long way since we started this project four years ago and we have also learned a lot. So we will keeping you updated on when materials have been reworked.
While also we are still working on armor, items, magic items, backgrounds and feats for the project. So follow us here or join our discord if you want to keep up to date on what are we working on!

I've been reading Players's Handbook for the DnD campaign, and came across this:
Imagine Gale of Waterdeep gulping down ale and immediately casting Fireball. For some reason I find it endearing.
What do you think, galemancers?

dnd jokes that will always be funny no matter what your dm tells you
"jesus christ" "who's that"
"this is just like (tv show/movie)" "that's my favorite play"
referring to famous musicians or actors from the real world as "bards"
adding the word "fantasy" in front of modern things (i pull out my Fantasy iPhone and open Fantasy Tinder)
"how hurt are you" "on a scale of one to twenty-eight i'd say i'm at about a nine."
feel free to add more

Geryon, The trifold Duke, patron of controlled fury and patient vengence! That's not a weird hand, that's his magical horn that summons up to 20 minotaurs to do whatever he wants. It's just being held at a weird angle. Anyway, he's 30 ft (9.1 m) long, usually "standing" around 10 ft (3 m) tall, and honestly just wants to take care of his realm and hunt things. He's a neat person who likes to keep his environment and self clean. He can magically bind you in chains, terrify with a glance, transform into other humanoid species, turn invisible, and magically influence your thoughts a little. Also makes SO many children with mortals. Makes them leaders in his community, I guess just hoping he can at least trust his family.
His story is a tragic one. He was one of 7 absurdly powerful angels. After heavy injuries on a mission, his master patched him up with pieces of fallen comrades. The echoes of his best friends stayed in his head, dragging him back any time he tried to move on from his grief, and eventually making him fall via SuperPTSD. He then ruled a layer of Hell, and was very content!...until it was randomly given to someone else for reasons nobody understands. The new ruler was locked in an impenetrable frozen prison, so they can't touch each other either and it's frustrating. So yeah, he's a brutal hunter who likes making the most complex traps he can think of for fun. But mainly he's just stuck in a cycle of caring/trusting and having it blow up in his face

So, what is the OGL and why are DnD creators thoroughly screwed?
Tumblr has not been doing a great job at talking about this, but:
With OneDnD, Wizards of the Coast has decided to update the Open Game License (OGL). Said license is what allowed people to create homebrew DnD content and sell it, and even larger companies to use certain sorts of content. Pathfinder, for example, is built on said OGL. This also allows streamers and artists to exist and benefit from said content.
With OneDnD (sometimes called “dnd 6e”), WOTC wants to create a much more restrictive OGL, which will, amongst other things:
Make WOTC take a cut for any DnD-related work (according to Kickstarter, a whole 25% of the benefits)
Let WOTC cancel any project related to DnD up to their discretion
Let WOTC take ANY content made based on their system, and re-sell it without crediting you, or giving you a single cent
And most importantly, revoke the old OGL, which will harm any company or game system that used it as a base, such as Pathfinder. And it means they GET ownership over any homebrew content you may have done for 5e in the past!
It’s important to note that OGLs are supposedly irrevocable. They were planning to use it for OneDnD initially, but they want to apply it retroactively to 5e, somehow. Which is illegal, but lawyers have mentioned there’s a chance they may get away with it given the wording.
This means that anything you make based on DnD (A homebrew item? A character drawing? Even music, according to them?), can get taken and used as they deem appropiate.
These news come from a leak of the OGL, which have been confirmed by multiple reputable sources (including Kickstarter, which has confirmed that WOTC already talked with them about this), and was planned to be released next week.
So, what can we do?
Speak against it. Share the word. Reblog this post. Let people know. Tumblr hasn’t been talking much about this matter, but it’s VERY important to let people know about what is WOTC bringing.
Boycott them. Do not buy their products. Do not buy games with their IP. Do not watch their movie. CANCEL your DnD Beyond subscription. (Btw, they ARE planning to release more subscription services too!). They do not care about the community, but they care about the money. Make sure to speak through it.
And maybe consider other TTRPG systems for the time being, Pathfinder’s Paizo has been much nicer to the community, their workers are unionized and are far more healthy overall
