The renowned composer and orchestral conductor of Waterdeep, Melantha Erix! Leave your free will at home and lose yourself in her haunting and awe-inspiring compositions 🦋🎼🎻
New character time!! Got the opportunity to join an 'oops all evil cultist' game where I get to play this ambitious bard Miss Melantha Erix! She plans to reshape reality to her vision, cause it's not being a control freak when you're simply correct🖤
Fun facts about her design! Firstly she's not holding a wand its actually a conductor's baton! It also acts a bit like a tuning fork and makes weird warped tones when tapped against surfaces. Second is her coat is actually inspired by a Morpho Menelaus butterfly wing turned inside out!

✨ Bardic Inspiration ✨
Here's an illustration I did for the "Rule of Cool" zine featuring Cal (tiefling bard) and Quinn (drow/tiefling wizard) as they're traveling in the Underdark.
Half of the earning of the zine will go to the Trans Housing Coalition that helps homeless trans youths, and the other half to artists. You can get your zine here.

The Byrd Bard
A musician with a secret talent for the banjo..unfortunately he'd rather be known for his skill at French Horn. Which is why he left his job and maxed out his credit to get one. Will it be worth it?! All he has to do is learn it!

Are you new to D&D? Think caster classes are complicated and hard to learn? Do you want to understand how each caster class works in one easy analogy? Then this is for you!
Let's think of casting spells as cooking. When cooking (casting spells) you need to:
1. Have a way to learn the recipe. (Known Spells)
2. Prepare the recipe. (Prepared Spells)
3. Eat the recipe. (Spell Slots)
The way each caster class does spells is different, but they can be categorized into 3 separate groups:
Prepared Casters, Spontaneous Casters, and Wizards.
With this in mind, we can categorize them by how each class learns their recipes (known spells) as well as how they get ready to make them (prepared spells).
Prepared Casters: These casters have access to any recipe they could ever need. Think of it like having access to Google, or Pinterest (known spells). If they want a recipe, they just spend their morning finding what they want, grocery shopping and getting it ready (prepared spells). They can make any food you give them a recipe for.
Spontaneous Casters: These casters don't have internet. They do, however, have a few recipe books (known spells). They have few really good recipes that they like, and have basically memorized these recipes. They always have the ingredients to make their favourite things (prepared spells).
Wizards: A grouping of their own, they are somewhat a combination of the two. Wizards do not use Google or Pinterest, they're better than that. Any recipe they like, they compile into a recipe blog (known spells). Their recipe blog is pretty full, any time they find a new recipe that they like they can add it to their blog, though adding new recipes can sometimes be costly (they need materials to copy down the recipe). That said, like prepared casters, they do their grocery shopping in the morning, when they'd decide what recipes they're going to make that day (prepared spells).
The next section is spell slots. If you make the food, you have to eat it too, right? Spell slots are basically how much a given caster can eat.
All full casters (Druids, Bards, Clerics, Wizards, Sorcerers) have the capacity to eat a decent amount of food.
Half casters (Paladins, Rangers), can only eat a portion of the food that they make.
Warlocks are weird, the food they make is always top notch, but they can't eat very much of it (they cast their spells at the highest level they can and don't have many spell slots). That said, their metabolism is beefy as hell and after a few hours of rest they can eat again.
I'll probably add a section to this later to explain regaining spell slots. If anyone has any additions they wanna make, please go for it!

The Tale of Napoleon Gerard, AKA Nips Garhunter
This post was available early to my patrons, so if you'd like to see stuff like this from me please consider joining my page!
Tumblr media
I'm currently playing in a Curse of Strahd campaign in which every single player, independently, decided: "you know what would be amazing is if I brought a really stupid character for this horror  campaign," and that's how we ended up with a party of absolute idiots. It kind of makes things worse when stuff goes south...
Nips is just a big, sweet, dumb boy who speaks with a strong Southern Belle accent. He's very polite and friendly and just wants everyone to get along. His backstory is that he was mostly raised by his gramma, Betty--inspired by my own grandmother as a way to memorialize her.
Tumblr media
Betty's daughter (Nips' mother) was a bit of a rebel and ended up becoming a mistress of the duke of their province, a tyrant named Duke Gerard. She fell pregnant with Nips and died in childbirth with him. The duke tried to take Nips from Betty, but she absolutely refused and visited the ducal palace every single day. Nips was such a handful and so stubborn with every nursemaid except for Betty that the duke finally gave up and allowed her to raise Nips as long as he lived in the palace the majority of the time.
The ducal family had a legitimate son after a few years, though, and Nips was ignored in many ways because of this. He spent his childhood running away to his gramma's house and baking bread and peach jam with her. When his younger brother reached inheriting age, however, the duke sent Nips away. He became a bit of a hero in a quiet fishing village for saving their waters from an overpopulation of gar, thus his assumed surname "Garhunter." "Nips" isn't what he was called growing up either--his grandmother called him "Leon."
Tumblr media
He's worried about his grandmother and tries to sneak back to see her whenever he can.
In my current campaign, he's stuck in Barovia and wants nothing more than to get back to his gramma. I'm playing him as a paladin with a homebrew oath--the Oath of Family. His "spells" often involve him whipping up homecooked meals and his "holy symbol" is the sun hat his gramma gave him.
It's been a pretty rough campaign, though. Nips is very homesick.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
He has grown to VERY MUCH dislike Strahd for both personal and general reasons--all I'll say is that our party adopted Vasili as our favorite NPC and brought him everywhere with us. Sooo when the party was invited to dinner at Strahd's mansion, Nips showed up in his full ducal regalia in order to try and show Strahd that he refuses to be cowed.
Tumblr media
That patch on his chest is the Gerard family's symbol, a spear in an open field. The family specializes in spearfighting; thus Nips' proficiency with the spear for fishing.
It's been hard for Nips to face Strahd because Strahd reminds him of his own father; a tyrant. In a way, living in the fishing village gave Nips a way to avoid facing the damage his father has done and avoiding the responsibility ingrained in him since birth of protecting the people of the dukedom. The moral quandaries in Curse of Strahd are difficult for him. It's distressing to him when he can't help everyone. A part of his spirit is becoming bitter and hard.
Tumblr media
Not to mention that our time at Strahd's castle didn't go well...
He actually has a playlist as well, if you would like to listen to it on Spotify 💚 >>HERE<<

Also check out @birdlimes and @izuris and of course the DM ruining all our lives, @rookdaw, for more art from the campaign B)

Shoutout to bards fr. They might genuinely be my favorite playable class (at least in D&D 5e, haven't yet gotten to try one in a different system yet). They're ridiculously versatile. They can start entire revolutions with just their words. They can fell an average commoner with a single insult. They can tear you apart in perfect poetic meter. I love bards.
