Actually good DND ideas

Weapon concept.

An axe with the shape of an shovel.

Name: push comes to shove.

Each time that you do a thrusting attack, your character is push back 10 meters back.

Imagen you are in combat and the enemies are far away. You attack the ground pushing you backwards, then you use the bonus actions to shot the MF at point-blank range.

siren

#bakuspecial #cw: nudity #cw: body horror #monster #siren! I think. they're bird to me #I think this has been brewing since that stream mim did of drawing dnd monsters only from official text description #and when the official art for the sirens were shown I was like. oh thats just a woman with wings #lmao like. granted. its an official dnd book available for all audience. you cant make it too Bad To Look At #(I do not agree with this but it wasnt about me. if its about me its gonna be about very few people lmao) #but yeah. after that I got slightly too into the idea of putting more bird into birdwoman #but I also do genuinely love monsters that are Rearranged Human Parts so. I couldnt commit too much to the bird scales Im so sorry #I wanted the fleshiness. the feel. textural experience of holding her hands and being like oh that's a human #even when ur eyes tell u otherwise. mmm #...I looked to my right as I was typing these tags and saw. the fucked up pikmin I tried to sculpt the other day along with the pin #and got startled #its so. its so fucked up. gods. dusty white naked grainy parsnip #I used to have that one doll I butchered wanting to customize in a box next to me and thats way less upsetting than this. man #its perfect actually I will never throw this thing away. anyways #now. now I go to bed. its sleep time for the baku #have a good night lads! you CAN have it both way easily you just need a big bat

valerith, the red swan

#dungeons and dragons #dnd #dnd 5e #ttrpg #dnd oc #digital art #sketch #dnd art #dnd oc art #original character #original character art #can i tag her as bg3 bc I've imagined her in the bg3 setting besides just fr #guys you have no idea how much brain rot I've had about her in the last few days. it's extensive #i may even need to see a brain rot specialist if it continues #if you've been here u may remember regular valerith but as I've been playing bg3 I was like. wait a minute #dnd valerith. she's already a demon let's make her a proper devil. a lot of her backstory is the same just dnd'ified #verchiel was a im going with planetar that served lathander bc actual angel verchiel fits lathander's stuff pretty well #her goodness and honestly got her into some deep shit she considered as a possibility but very very very very unlikely of happening #lathander was like man well. cant just let this slide. also why not use it as an example sorry #so she was cursed to become a devil and her angel s/o followed her after trying to interfere and be like um no??? this is bs #so now theyre in the hells and still love each other but also are extremely conflicting bc while valerith SHOULD be lawful evil she's not #she's on a fine line between chaotic good and neutral. #if valerith were an npc in anything she'd have a quest after trusting whoever enough being like. hey. so. i don't want to be a devil anymor #i'm tired of it. i heard about this ritual that might be able to fix it but it's dangerous in both getting the supplies and performing it #and if anything goes wrong i could very well suffer significantly in multiple ways for it. #her s/o doesnt like this just as much as she doesn't like the idea of them wanting to overthrow fierna in the 4th circle of hell where #they reside so. theyre kind of at a conflicting neutral state. they love each other but they also dont talk about those things in a good wa #anyway valerith i think would have a chance to become a quasi-deity being that's true neutral #and i have a design in mind but :> #if you read all of this youre actually insane.

A demon A tiefling, an angel a human, a devil a fire elemental and the only another human walk into a tavern and form a party for mutual convenience

Just some vaguely dnd inspired designs for the woy crew

Please I overslept school for this

#this was the funniest idea i had all week #i love this #woy #wander over yonder #hater #wander #peepers #sylvia #PLEASE this one is actually good #i need validation #dnd #i feel dirty using the dnd tag like this 😭😭

#my most recent character is an elf who became a rogue to protect her wife from increased crime in the area by out-criming the criminals #but also the reason for their divorce is because she went too deep into the anti-crime that it just became more crime #so her goal is to prove to her ex-wife that HER crime is actually the good crime and she has just become a criminal with good intentions #and a growing body count #dnd backstory #dnd character ideas

[svampira]

#wip #theyre thumbnails ofc but i feel like none of these work #the ideas for the design are. it has to stay sexy and he is chaotic evil masquerading as lawful good #also looking at like. 90s fashion more than im looking at actual armors for ref #the red griffithesque jewellery is because hes a blackguard so a knight who serves a devil the way paladins serve the dnd gods or whatever #i will probably render all of them d #i like the fb armor cause its the one giving prince charming the most but its not very elias... #also hes blond cause i want him to not look the same as his v/tm counterpart. but thats his natural hair there as well #the red streaks and swords are always in relation to his patron #idk whether to go full dn/d or just make it regular fantasy... #i think i like the chainmail idea the moat #MOST #it makes sense cause hes the son of a duke whose memories were erased with his devil pact so hiding his face does fit but hes too vain

id in alt. per tradition, my d&d group played a spooky one-shot for Halloween, and I got through the whole session without anyone realizing I made a Crowley inspired character lmao. I've named him Antony!

i've continued to develop him and their story, and it's really coming along. keep your eye out for Aziraphale's character!

#good omens #crowley #anthony j crowley #dungeons and dragons #dnd #dnd character #good omens au #good omens fanart #dnd oc #what should this be called. ineffable dnd??? probably #ineffable dnd #im actually like so excited for this 'au' lol i will keep working on it cuz i have some good ideas #he is more inspired by crowley than ACTUALLY crowley btw #this is my man he is mine #my art

thinking about her (Gith the Liberator)

Thinking about how much I wish she were the deliciously messy, morally complex, and believably motivated protagonist of a Space Lesbians vs. Empire trilogy instead of a flat villain/historical footnote in the Fiend Folio. Unfortunately, DnD.

#mother gith apologia #but SERIOUSLY #they really created this leader of a successful uprising that freed a people who'd been enslaved so long their original name had been lost #and made her a one-dimensional villain with no real personality/motivation #not only does she not get to be the centre of her own story #she barely even has a story #it's all just grist for the “eeeevil-aligned species” mill #we don't really know why she decided conquering the planes would be a great idea #or why vlaakith i betrayed her #because the big assumption underpinning those plot points is “this is what happens when oppressed peoples become Too Liberated” #where's my chonky book series about her + vlaakith i + zerthimon fomenting rebellion together and developing irreconcilable differences? #in the right author's hands it could be so good #let Gith be an actual character 2k23 #githcourse #slavery cw #oh dnd lore #as with all their historically “evil” species: there's a lot to unpack here #and I completely understand why some people would rather throw away the whole backpack #sorry about the giant tag essay rant. it will happen again. #I started essaying in someone else's tags and then realised it would be more polite to just make my own post #githyanki

like idk i feel like the standards for writing nowadays are transitioning to where the concept of a plot is enough for people. like all this ya shit where u throw a bunch of tropes into a blender and then let the audience run away with it and just think about how cool a book about something is rather than writing a book thats good

#i am not good at putting shit into words but idk im a pattern noticer #also been watching samurai champloo and its similar where its like on paper its very cool but then the actual day to day shit theyre doing #isnt really that interesting #and it reminds me of a lot of dnd stuff too where its like ok heres a setting here are a bunch of unique and engaging characters #and just the idea of them existing in a world and interacting and having arcs is enough even tho u arent really doing those arcs in the game #or something. synapses are firing im making connections between the shit that exists in my brain

[vileidol]

@withsappho unfortunately, the angel and the devil on your shoulders are both recommending murder

#🫁 #bg3 tav #dnd oc #Taz doesn't actually doesn't murder more than Lysander does she's just always covered in blood for some reason #they're lesbian gay solidarity btw #girl w the big wet eyes of a kicked puppy who grew up on the streets & loves to steal and intimidate (high wis low int) #& guy from a rich catholic family who is very kind despite the fact that his passion lies ultimately in lying (high int low wis) #Lys: I escaped the normalised cruelty and bloodshed of the underdark in order to transition and play music and help- #oh shit this rogue urchin has a really good idea for a scam. i'm in. #together they are the worst ♡ #i think we're gonna have to kill this guy #lys #Lysander

Actually good DND ideas

Make a rogue

Put all your point in disguises and espionage.

Fake a British accent, even if England isn't a thing in that universe.

Be extremely horny.

Congratulations, now you can play as Austin Powers baby!!!!

tbh i keep thinking abt how so many people in the curse of strahd community talk about running strahd as a woman (or are in campaigns with a female strahd) but i literally, in like 2+ years, have never once seen anyone suggest running ireena as a man. and like i feel like there must be reasons for this but fuck if i know what they are. men can't be victims of stalking/abuse? ireena can't be a man bc tatyana was a woman? ireena has to be a woman bc she has to be Frail and Helpless? who knows

#none of these feel like good reasons to me #in my campaign ireena is actually a trans man and i decided to name him micha #he's also not frail or helpless lmao which i don't think ireena should be either #anyway please consider: trans man ireena and/or trans woman tatyana and cis man ireena #thank you for your time #curse of strahd #rey rambles #dnd #LIKE. LISTEN. STRAHD IS BISEXUAL ANYWAY AND GENDER IS FAKE SO WHY NOT #also the idea of strahd's whole Thing with tatyana being gender/trans inclusive is objectively hilarious please #strahd: i can excuse stalking and abuse but i draw the line at transphobia #the party: you can excuse stalking and abuse???

[im-still-a-robot]

Got so excited about a concept for my dnd character that it made me nauseous

#wacky watermelons #dnd #i thought to myself. woah what if eddie got possessed. thatd create such intresting dynamics #and then the force of a really interesting idea and the part of my brain that shuts down anything too out of possibility collided #and i got both light headed and nauseous like god was personally smiting me #which would honestly be deserved #but anyway. imagine #eddie. ball of nerves and self hate extraordinaire vs being forced to hurt the people he cares about #how do you deal with that? #how do you deal with that when all you can think is how selfish you sound when you bring it up? #how do you deal with that when the people you would seek comfort from now have reservations? #even if they know. it was still your face and your voice #anyway. this is probably not happening in campaign. but man do i love a good possession #ah fuck they did briefly possess ryke right? it was during a boss and for. a turn. #whatever. im going to try to mentally beam this to my dm like im reinventing magic #you guys will hear about it if it happens #hmu if you want to hear about the things actually happening to these fools. theres so much and i get so worked up

[acting-it-up]

Im gonna say something maybe people wont like but.... Hatchetfield really is a bunch of B+ (at best) stories that at the core of them have a brilliantly intriguing idea that just nags at you and forces you think, even if the base media that it's portrayed in isnt actually all that good. And it annoys me lmao

#hatchetfield could be So Good but it is forced to be wrapped up in silly narratives that are only half decently written 50% of the time #and it truly feels like they stumbled into good ideas lmao #honestly its like a dnd game that got adapted to the stage with all of the silly problems in the game still intact #its only good when you start thinking about the implications as paul says lmao #anyway ive gotten the brain rot thanks to npmd being actually good #jack talk #hatchetfield

[memento-morri-writes]

I have the desperate urge to write something, but I can't get my shit together enough to put anything down on the page. Literally anything would be nice, but the only thing I've been able to wrote for MONTHS now is d&d character backstories. Plot? I don't know her. Which is a shame, cause I'd really love to write something with a nice big plot someday. But my brain is physically incapable of coming up with plots. Character backstories definitely, worldbuilding maybe, but plots? Nope!!! Even my current WIPs don't have much in the way of plot, and that's what's been preventing me from working on them. maybe??

#I really want to write a high fantasy adventure with a decently large cast but like idk how to go about it #and make it actually good #and I have absolutely zero ideas for plots. just vibes and maybe some characters. idk #but those characters are mostly just inspired by my dnd characters because that's the only kind of writing I can do apparently #unfortunately for me #morrigan.text #delete later #I can't even maintain a plotline in my daydreams #or my actual dreams for that matter #stuff just jumps around randomly. just like my brain

#ive stumbled across tiktok drama about actual plays that involves loa #someone vagued posted about the idea that if you're dnd stream is big enough to have celeberties on #its no longer a home game but a business and they should care about diversity at the table #and like. valid take i get it. #but apparently critical role fans thought it was about critical role and got defensive #and im just gonna say cr fans... if the shoe fits.... #also yeah i hope Avantris becomes more diverse as kt grows bigger but : #a. they literally just got big enough that 5 of the seven of them could go full time last year #b. two of their poc members left due to unforseen circumstances #and c. i love the twins but im not trusting two Italian men from Baltimore to be in charge of diversity #anyway I put this in tags so i don't bother anyone with drama but i wanted to talk about it #even of my white ass has no good answers here
