My D&D group ran a holiday-themed one-shot tonight, and as a result it was new character time! Being “stuck” at level four gave me the opportunity to try multiclassing for the first time (something I’ve been hesitant to do for a variety of reasons, the primary one being “it’s complicated” lmao). This is Zargrun, a level 2 rogue/level 2 barbarian bugbear who worked out beautifully for what I wanted her to do, which was “always have something useful to do with your bonus action because only having one thing to do per turn sucks (and it extra sucks when it’s the exact same thing every turn) and nobody gets Extra Attack until level five.” She could rage (which she did in our first and fourth fights), she could Cunning Action (which she did in our second and fourth fights), and she could swipe at things with her offhand (which she did in all four fights).
Three fifths of the party was actually Christmas-themed (two of them were casters with Santa Claus as a patron/deity and one was a Warforged nutcracker) but Duf kept me company in the “not actually holiday-themed” camp so that was fine, lmao.
After the session I also went to see if I could make her a mini, in case I ever get the chance to play her again (though I don’t know if I’d enjoy her build at any other level, heh) which was the first time I’ve played with heroforge’s painting feature. I actually got her pretty close, though none of HF’s cloaks quite fit what I envisioned for her (or clipped too much for me to like) so she’s dressed a little lighter than I imagined, heh.
introducing camazotz the bastard demon bat who drains life force to turn creatures undead and doesn’t really care what objections u have about it. get ghouled idiot i hope u like not having a pulse. it literally doesn’t need lifeforce to feed it’s just an asshole
lightly redesigned ark and nicks werewolf forms because i wanted them to have more interesting fur patterns and also so i had an excuse to draw gay werewolves (werewolves who are gay)
Love fictional characters who are unironically like “who could ever love me, a beefy shredded dude/big teddy demon with such hideous cool fangs/gross scary dragon wings” 😭😭😭
This has gotten so much rarer in media with every generation. It’s a rare treasure.

gargoyles in my universe are essentially elementals- they are formed usually by intersections of ley lines. this causes a surge in magic energy which if concentrated in a single spot can animate stone. nobody (in universe) knows why the resulting creature is always a large gargoyle, but there are at least 15 known in the race.
gargoyles are intelligent, though their compatibility with other societies varies. camazotz is more feral and doesn’t seem interested in playing nice, while lyn and vic live among mortals.
every aspect of magic has an opposite- death is merely the opposite of life in this context. camazotz was born from an intersection of two death ley lines, which is not a great combination! their being is basically supercharged with exactly the kind of thing living creatures should not be around.
because of this, its fairly trivial for zotz to let out some of the necrotic energy, overload a living creature, and convert them into undeath. it can control this process so its not like passive radiation but again, zotz isnt really interested in playing nice with others.
ive written about how undeath works in my oc universe somewhere in here but its probably long gone
very interesting to take outrage over a more inclusive flag at its word lol and by “interesting” i mean question this shit
Seriously. Question why people are saying this.
Its not interesting its copyrighted because the Berne Convention automatically copyrights everything as soon as written or recorded on some physical medium, and the US became a party in 1989.
But it IS interesting someone wanted to bring that mundane fact up while not mentioning the license for redistribution
