Item Idea
Shoulder Saddle
Description: a leather seat that is attached to the one of the pauldrons of a medium size or + character’s Armor. It can be used by small characters to short rest while the rest of the party moves, to comfortably sit while travelling, to pat your big companion or be patted by your big companion. The benefits for the characters will apply only if their size is the same as the model of the Saddle they bought intended:
5 sp) Medium X Small
2 sp) Medium X Tiny
10 sp) Large X Small
8 sp) Large X Tiny
Bonus! 23 sp) Large X Medium
Bonus! 2 sp) Small X Tiny
Functionality: (Along with the obvious ones like immunity to fall damage for the smaller character or the inability to move during their turns, etc etc)
The Shoulder Saddle gives +1 to the AC of the bigger character, +1 to the smaller character’s perception checks involving sight, +2 charisma to both. Disadvantage with short range attacks and advantage with long ranged attacks to the smaller character, inverted for the bigger character.
Their turns will fuse into one during fights (using the bigger characters DEX for initiative +1), if in a round the big character stays still while the small one attacks with a ranged attack/weapon and it hits, roll 1d6, add that to the total damage AFTER any deduction of any kind that will affect the damage.
To be clear, this additional damage can’t be halved, stopped or in any way modified except if the total damage is cancelled, then it will act accordingly, if the total damage is halved by resistance or modified in another manner, the result of the 1d6 won’t be affected and will be added AFTER these calculations.

Best part of playing a smaller race in DnD is that your party members can give you uppies :3c
Party Idea
Rat
Class: Thief
Race: ?
Description: She’s either a Ratfolk or an Halfling, nobody can tell. Asking it to her will only raise the chances of both getting ignored and robbed. She wears magic sandals that always make noise to challenge herself when stealing, if she takes them off, she becomes so powerful and sneaky that even her shadow stop noticing her.
Converse
Class: Barbarian
Race: Dwarf
Description: She doesn’t speak Common but can understand it. It’s not like she’s too dumb to learn it, she simply never learned and now she doesn’t think it’s that important for her to know how to speak. Everyone in the party seem to always understand what she wants and she’s happy like that because even without speaking her “family” always listen to her.
Wolf
Class: Warlock
Race: Human Werewolf
Description: His tattoo is the symbol of his patron and the origin of his curse, the bandana is a gift from the patron to him, but wearing it too much makes Wolf suffer, forcing him to still having to unleash his wolf form at full power once in a while.
Eyes
Class: Monk
Race: Elf
Description: Being totally blind, they refined all their other senses and are now even able to see the auras of the creatures surrounding them, thanks to their perfect control of Chi. Even if they’re not as powerful as other monks, they are still a valuable party member.
The Captain
Class: Arteficer
Race: Orc
Description: Has a warm and fatherly personality, always laughing with his strangely deep voice. He’s the proud owner and creator of the magnificent Nautilus, a weird-looking but fast vehicle that the party loves using.
Goggles
Class: Wizard
Race: Human
Description: He was the lone wolf of the party, but after Wolf joined he lost the title, now that Wolf is the leader he doesn’t look like the same. Goggles is the one carrying around the Nautilus, stored inside his magic pockets, even if his strength is never enough to take it out by himself and The Captain always steps in to (in his own words) “Not hurt his baby”, talking about the Nautilus.
Campaign Idea
Knock Knock it’s COMMUNISM. BITCHES.
Description: You (players) sad (capitalism) so you (players) spread happiness (communism)
Tip: Make one character the DnD version of fucking Karl Marx, it doesn’t matter the class or the race but make them a philosopher/writer that’s working on writing a book about their ideals, and during the campaign they could cite some passages (the player has to read the book)
Functionality: If the player reading the book (so Karl Marx) bought the actual Das Kapital they have disadvantage on all rolls involving the book, if they have it by some “other” ways they add a d8 to the rolls.
If the player doesn’t have Das Kapital, but another player does and they give it to the player, they will have advantage on the rolls involving the book.
Tip2: You could make that, one time for long/short rest, if the DnD Marx’s player uses the book the player who gave it to them will receive either 1 inspiration point or 2d12 Temporary HitPoints, or other shiny looking stuff
Characters:
Karl Marx (Mage, y’know, using the book for two uses? Paladin, finally the communist one?)
an ex underpaid server of an inn that quit to join them (very nice if the race of the character is one of the hated ones, or even better if they’re a half tiefling half elf, doubling the racism, to add a little bit of flavour to their backstory and to the setting) (class? Either Monk or Rogue. I mean, someone who gets attacked everyday for their race? 99% of the time that shit results into being able to punch back)
An ex knight who saw how corrupted the monarchy is and it’s tired of it (additional points if it’s the big bear of the group, tall, muscled and hairy and always ready to take a hit for Karl Marx) they are the first two of the group and known each other for a long time (maybe Karl was the mage of the king?)
A Druid who was stuck in their dog-cat-animal form/someone who was cursed to be polymorphed into a dog for the last 15 years, now that the witch who cursed them has been killed they are free but unable to afford anything because for all this time they obviously didn’t had a job, and their family thinks that they died long ago so they would never believe them to be the same person (maybe also because mow they have some dog-cat-animal facial traits? Not too weird but enough to not recognise your own child) and so they have no money, and were forced to live on the streets begging for some food and money.
Tip3: Maybe now they are Shifters (the race), or Tabaxi or they still randomly transform into that animal (roll a d100 every turn of combat and after doing something that the DM or them thinks is important, on a 10 (up to 30) or lower they transform into the animal they were polymorphed for 3d8 minutes (the d100 still needs to be rolled while they’re an animal, and if they roll a “turning into the animal” number, they roll the 3d8 again and add that to the total). Also they should be able to know the language of the animal that they were since they spent 15 years as one.
An artificer who is a genius but since their inventions are not enough “profitable” or “gives too much to the poor” and “damage the economy” as some rich ass bastards always say before scrapping the idea of founding their creations. They are sick of this and just want to create things to make life better for everyone, who cares about economy and money? They sure don’t!
A warlock who once was a healer in a temple, Ka’rl revealed them (since they couldn’t leave the temple for religious purposes) that those who couldn’t afford to be healed were left to die and that they healed only those who paid an invent price before even simply entering the temple. Due to the shock, they not only lost any faith in their cause (their religion didn’t involve a God or at least not an existing one) but their anger caught the attention of a Celestial Being with whom they made a pact with to make this nonsense stop. (Maybe make that the Celestial Being proved to have the power to do so by healing everyone in the entire city, since the warlock from now on should be filled with trust issues)
An earth genasi/elf ranger, that witnessed the exploitation of natural resources by the ruling class, that hurt not only the lower class but also animals and other creatures. They now seeks to reclaim the land for the people and help Ka’rl establish a society where nature and its resources are shared equally.
A Robin Hood parody, but who steals stuff instead of money (like food and other goods) because they were the accountant of a Duke and now how to fuck up economy (double points if they become best friend with the artificer and use their inventions to steal more stuff)

Character Idea
Description: A hero who gets reincarnated over and over again to kill the BBEG (who also gets reincarnated over and over again) but neither of them is actually always the hero or BBEG, because the Hero is the only who retains their memory while the BBEG is the only who keeps their immense power and the Hero always has to kill the BBEG whatever they do.
One time the BBEG was actually a powerful Aasimar paladin of Tyr, who caught dragons and protected millions of people from them while the Hero was a Tortle and spent 10 years to infiltrate in the inner circle of the BBEG to kill them by giving them a food imbued in a drop of all the dragons that the BBEG killed that was filled with hatred towards them and so it was Highly deathly to them
Another time the BBEG was the father of the hero but since he was the King’s right hand and the wizard of court, the hero saw him for so little that every attempt he tried always resulted into a goofy scene of a toddler trying to “hug” is dad and falling head first against a chair
One time the Hero was a Giant and the BBEG a Halfling… wait that was very easy to accomplish actually
Why? Because the Hero and the “first” BBEG were secretly lovers, and when the BBEG died by the Hero’s hands (it was in the middle of the battle and they knew that this moment was gonna happen one day) the Hero lost all his will to live and made a pact to a God, not one of the good one but like a sillier Loki.
In exchange to entertainment for the God, the Hero and the BBEG reincarnated over and over again (the BBEG without their memories because they were already dead, but with the same high power because it was so strong that it was still there, filling the place where they died while the Hero always with random powers and abilities to entertain the God) and every time that the Hero killed the BBEG they could share one “year” (in the real world it’s an instant) together, obviously them being the first Hero and the first BBEG.
During the “year” together they live in an imaginary castle always slightly different than the last time, built by the God during the moments of their lives when kind of nothing happens (when they’re toddlers for example, like when you watch a show and it gets interrupted by the ads and you rush to the toilet) and the Hero would tell the BBEG stories of their last encounter and while in there they (both of them) can actually change their appearances to their previous bodies. The BBEG loves to do it to see how different they are from their “first” body, since they have no memory of their other lives.

Character Idea
Warlock
Story: Warlock with a pact with a Deity to kill the paladins who break the oath with them
Functionality: Gives disadvantage to hit when the opponent uses an attack dealing radiant damage, additional bonuses to hit are not counted if the opponent is a paladin of the Deity
Inspiration: I don't know but I told this Idea to my older cousin and he said "cool" so I'm feeling POWERFUL
Silly Character
Race: Mimic
Class: Druid (Circle of The Moon)
Description: A mimic who can turn into animals too. Has learnt Common by living for a bit with human farmers as a cat (to eat the mouses)
Name: Sparklefluffy Whiskertoes
Inspiration: I just wanted a funny first-character for my trans best friend who is in love with shapeshifting
Not Dyson related buuuuuttt
PATHFINDER/D&D CHARACTER WOOOAAHHHH
It's Puffer! And then everyone clapped. She's also a homebrew Alchemist class i made... i made a lot of homebrew classes these last 6 months. She's a Kenku and I love her. Her little brother is named Sticks. She's running a failing alchemist shop but she tells him it's successful.
My NPC Hadrian Degrey. His class is one I made myself for a module I worked on. It's around 300 pages long rn, so maybe I'll upload his class at some point. Anyways he's gay and I'll post his bf not bf today too lol (Swift Shadow)
Tried to draw/edit my character Doodle in the studio ghibli style for fun! They're a deity in my D&D campaign, but take the form of a clown that's a part of a circus! Yahoo!
(He/they, his gender is literally silly/Clown no idea won't be answering any questions)
He's the deity of Joy, Laughter, Entertainment and Playfulness!
I drew something 👍
This collage is based on my other friend's character for our D&D homebrew campaign.
Fish is a Drow Bard, he was teleported with Adran and Demash from Faerûn. He stepped at the path of the Kings and his destiny now is to become the King of the kings. He had to collect masks of the 10 greatest kings to obtain the power of all of them. Souls of the kings are caged in these masks and each of them has it's own power but the price of the ultimate power is high: Fish has to prove himself as a worthy one to be a king otherwise masks won't obey him.
This collage is based on my other's friend character from our D&D homebrew campaign.
Adran is an Elf Cleric of the Life Domain. He was teleported from Faerûn as well as Demash and his another companion. But Adran was teleported in this world 40 years earlier and wasted no time, exploring the new world and making new friends. He lost his connection with his God from Faerûn but he found new power in worshiping new God of light and life here. He became a heir of a wealthy lord of a rich region. He saved his named father from a mind-eating creature that corrupted his land.
Now Adran is traveling with his friends around the world seeking answers for his new father and God.
Another collage based on my friend's character from our D&D homebrew campaign.
Demash is a Tiefling Rogue. He got power of spider after his resurrection in old castle ruins somewhere in Faerûn. He was teleported from Faerûn with his companions.
It appeared that Tieflings almost extincted in the world they found themselves at the end of their "journey". Tieflings' cities (Spirals) were destroyed centuries ago and none knows where to even look for them. The only thing is known about these lost ruins that magic works poorly near them.
Demash has to find Spirals to find his destiny in this world.
I made a set of collages based on my character and my friends' characters from our D&D homebrew campaign that we have been playing for two years now.
So, this one is based on my character. Her name is Sparkle. She is a cursed "Elf" Warlock who may turn into a monster at any moment. She was enslaved a while ago but managed to escape. She remember little from her past, she doesn't even know how old she is. She has a long path she's made and she has so many things to recall. The only thing she knows about herself is that she was given a great power of fire magic and she can summon her weapon from nowhere.
She is my favourite character ever 🥺🤲💓
My D&D character for my friend's first mini-campaign.
Khalte is a High Elf necromancer, ~150 years old. She was raised in a temple of Vel-shah-roon and has been studying necromancy since she was a teen (judging by Elven standards).
Gotta start posting my art here again so here’s Ashleigh
Does tumblr have something against queued posts bc before, when I posted randomly, people at least saw what I posted and I got like two likes.
so this is an experiment! Here, have some sketches for your troubles!
Killer Kobalds from Outer Space
May 2023
I lost my teethers chewing through prison bars so I drew this
Killer Kobalds from Outer Space is such a fun campaign (idk where to buy I though my friend bought it)
update
I’ve been sick so I haven’t been refreshing my queue TwT been trying to stay off of here while I was sick
I’ll refresh the queue sometime this week and I’ll be back to posting like normal soon!
Here’s some stuff from my sketchbook in the meantime! (I may end up reposting these on my alt in a bit tho)
Therapy
Percival goes to therapy, ft. Psycho Killer, a friends character who became a licensed therapist after the events of the campaign
D&D OC refs
Made in April
References for some more of my D&D OCs
Emerson Foxglove, warlock/rogue, abyssal tiedling, He/they. Was once a normal petty thief (minus the lycanthropy) until they pickpocketed the wrong adventures and had their legs mangled. They desperately called out for help and were answered by an archdevil, aka his new warlock patron
Janus Flimly, wizard, yuan-ti, he/him. A con man who uses his illusions to sell his fake potions until He met an adventuring party (same one as Em) who helped him to change his ways. He also has a drag queen boyfriend now (or partner? They/he pronouns)
Tahlia Maverick, bloodhunter/wizard, infernal tiefling, she/her. A loner who hunted monsters until she met a group of travelers (different than Janus and Em’s) She learned that the blood hunters she worked with were evil so she branched out on her own. She changed her last name/virtue name to Reverence to Maverick during the adventure. (It was. So cool)
Daisy Bloom, warlock, harengon, she/her. I have yet to actually play as her, but she’s a lawful evil warlock. Despite that, she’s super polite and motherly, and only ever does evil acts because she believes them to be right. She would willingly betray her allies if the devil she serves wanted her to. (The rock in her hand was something from the campaign I almost used her in until the DM decided not to run it due to anxiety. He’s doing it now but I’m playing as an asshole bard named Ashleigh)
Mercy Cloudknell
April 2024
Guess what kind of OC she is? Yeah, another D&D OC. I’m still fleshing her out tbh but all I have so far is she’s an Aasimar assassin with a bit of a god complex, thinking that she’s dishing out some form of divine justice.
Percival Q. Lillin
March 2024
Another D&D OC! I do not have an obsession! Ignore me shoving my other 60 D&D OCs in the closet behind me!
Percival is an NPC shopkeeper who’s a powerful sorcerer with some levels in warlock due to his husband being an Archfey and that coming with magical benefits.
He’s one of my favorites tbh and I don’t draw him as often as I should
Shuffle
March 2024
Short animatic based on events in my first campaign
Circe the pigeon had a kinda relationship with Prince the loser NPC (I read it as queerplatonic tbh)
But Circe’s lust for power and acclaim (motivated by aarokocra’s apparently short lifespans) drove them apart and led to Circes exile
Also Prince had a really bad Australian accent
Mel and Freddy
March 2024
Mel has the urchin background so obviously he has a pet mouse! The mouse is named Freddy
Petrichor
Made in February last year
Little changeling (they/she) I played as in a oneshot! They like transforming into people and copying their mannerisms bc they don’t know how to interact with people
Art Summary - 2024
I’m still working my way through a lot of 2023 Art (though I have posted some early 2024 stuff already) but here’s my Art summary for this year! (June and July’s characters belong to @ekholocationn but the rest are either OCs, D&D characters, or fan art)
I might add the full versions of some of these pieces tomorrow/sometime this week so look out!
My D&D characters
this isn’t even a comprehensive list. I made this last year and now this is like a fourth of them all.
From left to right: Adaman Neptune, Cash Silvermoon, Cory Coldsword, Mel Stoneroll, Petrichor, Adrian Alderstar, Ceil the Heretic, Apollo Wanderlust, Corvid, Crovan Metalthorn, Arson, Tahlia Maverick, Fawkes very long name the III, Leif, Percival Lyllan, Emerson Foxglove, Janus Flimly, Venus Holyglow and Paris St. Cannon
PLEASE feel free to ask about them all because there’s so much too them all but if I added that all this post would be SO LONG so yeah
Mel Stoneroll
Drawn in October of 2023
One of my favorite D&D characters! Mel’s pretty much your stereotypical bard - quite petty, pretty flirtatious, very likely to be the reason the party is thrown out of the inn. There’s some actual depth and backstory there, but for the most part he’s just a bastard /affectionate
For those who care, he’s an Eladrin college of whispers bard with the urchin background (his rat’s name is Freddy) he’s currently a level 16 I believe
Yes his last name is a Rolling Stones reference. Idk why I did it.
