got a really good idea for a d&d character i’ll never get to use
You can’t say that and not share your idea.
its a talking horse. you’d think this’d come with some kind of magical backstory about getting turned into one but turns out, they were just born that way. you find out their mother was a centaur, their fauther is a (horse-headed) minotaur, and they have a sister who’s a perfectly normal human
they’re a rogue/thief because nobody ever suspects a horse as the culprit
youre an orc guard in a fully garrisoned and protected fortress 2 miles into a mountain. you’re standing post and suddenly you hear a knock outside the door. you know you’re not authorized to move from your post but your curiosity overtakes you and you open the door. a horse is standing there. as your brain races to think of some explanation for the sudden and unexpected presence of this horse it leans in and whispers
Concept: a D&D campaign where every party member has been co-opted or replaced by some sort of hostile intelligence; e.g., the fighter has been possessed by a ghost, the wizard is being mind-controlled by her sapient magic ring, the rogue is actually a shapeshifting blob-monster who devoured the original and stole her form and memories, and so forth. Each of them is totally unaware of the others, and believes itself to be the only monster in a group of unwitting human adventurers.
The warlock has been infested by a demonic fungus; her ridiculous hat conceals the giant mushroom growing from the top of her head.
The barbarian is a lizardman who fell victim to a botched reincarnation spell and regenerated as a human.
The druid was actually killed weeks before the party met, and is being expertly impersonated by three dire raccoons in a trenchcoat.
No one knows that the bard’s deal is; she seems perfectly normal to every physical and supernatural test, but pings to detect aberration.
got tired of waiting for the update to drop so i went into town to distract myself and i ended up making some shitty golden pans
my plan is to take em to valve headquarters (a day trip to seattle is on my to-do list anyways) and give one to the team while having them sign one so I can keep it for myself
