  • I discussed whether or not this was acceptable content with the moderators and creators of this community before I started, and they’re supportive of artists posting their RPG comics here, it’s a part of the community. The community description even reflects this.

    Refering to the comics from multiple creators here, not just me: These comic series do spawn actual memes often enough to be a good source of new funnies, but because they’re ongoing stories, it helps for people to be able to follow along.

    If you don’t like this, you have a simple remedy available: You can just block me and never see another one again. You don’t have to be mean to random people on the internet.







  • You’d probably be able to do that and win the match, but, well, there’s a few problems…

    First of all, Addis is a Tymoran priestess with level 5 spells, so she’d be pretty difficult to take down quickly unless you were serious adventurers. Chances of pulling it off without a hitch are non-zero. We don’t know for sure what is and is not on Addis’ spell list, but if we imagine it’s similar to Konsi’s list well… Konsi always has Dimension Door prepared, grabbing her would be very difficult.

    Secondly, this is Konsi’s boss, you might win the match by default, but the repercussions within the temple would be much worse.

    Third, Konsi would never approve of kidnapping anyone who wasn’t evil… She’s too much of a good bean.


    Probably the biggest problem is that the entire point of this match is to have Konsi play a high-stakes poker match under scrutiny, to prove that she legitimately has skill at the game, and doesn’t cheat. They’re staging this whole thing to head off accusations of foul play… Kidnapping your opponent and winning by default doesn’t exactly solve the problem!















  • This presents several problems.

    1. What is “one object”? A proper suit of platemail is like 30 objects, the helm is a different object to the breastplate, and that is a different object to the left sabaton. Such a ruling could cause a lot of table arguments.

    2. Why is “a banquet” different to “a suit of platemail” in this regard? They’re both comprised of several smaller components that could individually be described as objects?

    3. The spell doesn’t explicitly say “you can only make one object” it repeatedly, and irresponsibly careens wildly from using singular examples, and using plurals. The first line of the spell text is “You convert raw materials into products of the same material.” (plural) It then gives examples of “a bridge, a rope, clothes” (singular, singular, plural).

    I don’t see a sage advice on this issue specifically but Crawford has answered “can you make a full set of artisans tools with a casting of fabricate” with yes - and most sets of tools aren’t “one object” either…


    Remember to check creative uses of your spells with your DM. Your DM is at risk and your DM can go down as well as up, and you may not get back all the DM that you put in.













  • It did lead to swapping characters, at level 6! I went from Warforged Artificer to Gnome “Inventor” (she’s a wizard, but I reskin all of the spells as tinkered inventions)

    (These two tokens are what I used for the nimblewright)

    (This is the key art for the gnome inventor)

    As for the “main character-y” stuff… I basically hid the entire backstory from the group for 6 months of play, my character was worried that agents of her captors might track her down and put an end to her one shot at a rescue, and since their an organization with active spies all over the place, she was hiding everything until she was sure she could trust the group.

    Over time, I told different characters part of the story, in confidence, which lead to (at one point) every other PC in the group having a completely contrasting explanation of what my “deal” was, under instructions to not tell anyone else.

    Once I actually came clean and explained the situation to them, they organized a rescue op and saved her in 3 sessions. Less of a “main character” result and more of a “character side-plot” outcome - everyone else has their own personal side stories, and some of them are pretty involved…



  • Character concepts I HAVE played in recent years:

    Goblin priestess of Tymora who’s on a mission to free her people from their tyrant god Maglubiyet, and change hearts and minds for goblins in large cities through setting a personal good example.

    Treant druid who’s on the run from the authorities because she keeps planting knotweed in the foundations of various large buildings and temples. (I used the tortle lineage for stats)

    Middle sibling from a noble family who is competing against all the other siblings to “earn the most money” by a set date, because the one who brings the most cash home gets the family inheritance. Decided “adventuring” had the best return for time spent.

    Imprisoned Artificer who designed and built a robot (5e “nimblewright”) that she could telepathically pilot - then sent it out to go recruit an adventuring party to rescue herself.
