Dnd Monk - Blog Posts

Just started our new campaign! Set 60 years after our last one ended, it’s a plucky group of newbies joining the Adventurer’s Guild. Can’t wait to see what shenanigans await!

Meet my new character, the level 2 monk Ava Sedroba!

I love her to bits already

So cause I don’t have much else to talk about here. How about I talk about some DND  characters i’ve played (And that I have art of)

My first dnd character was a 3rd-level Tiefling/Draconic bloodline sorcerer named Valentine. I don’t remember much about the character, I think his backstory was something about him being a president going out in the world after unlocking magical powers? But the most vivid memory I have of him is that I forgot to take actual leveled spells with them. So for a session or two, I was stuck casting firebolt for the whole session, and somehow I got the kill the kill on the boss fight. Needless to say the next session was way better! The campaign they were apart of didn’t last long but hey, I suppose if it weren't for this pride flag colored Tiefling I might not have gotten into DND.  My 2nd DND character shown here was a 9th-level Human, Way of the Kensai Monk/Ranger named: Master Wu-Tang (Yes, he was named after the Wu-Tang clan) who left his family to join an assassins guild of monks, now retired, he joined a ghost hunting organization called “The Crows” in order to do something with the remainder of his life (For reference he was around 70). He was made because the DM wanted to have the party sort of split between ghost players and crow player characters. Having the ghosts be the spellcasters and the crows be the martial characters (Something like this. Keep in mind this was 2 years ago) I also recall wanting to make a DND version of Master Roshi (Without the perverted “Gags) and with that. Wu-Tang was born. Despite some issues the campaign would end up running into (Such as two sort of problem players that I will not name here) Wu-Tang ended up being my longest lasting character. Lasting countless sessions and going from level 3 to level 9. 

The next character I made was for a Feywild campaign. A 5th level aasimar (Pre Monsters of the multiverse) Undead Warlock/Divine soul Sorccerer multiclass named Falus Lucifier. The basic premise of him was that he was born into a highly religious village that considered him to be a god. He visited a strange figure to try and find a way out, only to be murked by a band of Paladins. Though said strange figure would keep their end of the bargin (Sort of) reviving Falus by possessing his body. I basically ended up kinda playing Gabriel from Mandela catalogue as a DND character. Combat wise Falsus was pretty potent as he would cast bless on the parties martials (And himself) and use his form of dread before blasting away with eldritch blast. I designed him to be a blaster/support hybrid and my god I think it worked out, RP wise I unfortunately dropped the ball due to my less than stellar rping as the character and some odd decisions on my end. Maybe I should revisit the character concept sometime. 

The fourth character here is a character I played for a very short-lived Curse of Strahd campaign, a 3rd level Tortle/Path of the Aberrant (Homebrew subclass) called: Captian Goru Zur Ganqwuc. Who on a sailing trip to barovia would fall into the depths, sinking deeper and deeper before waking up with strange tendrils on his shell and gaining new powers. They were basically a grouchy old guy that had this quirk of calling people peck-neck, just to he could cuss someone out without anyone but him knowing what he meant. (Yes I took the line from a A Hat in Time cause I thought it was funny) he was pretty fun to rp as cause I got to do this gravely irish accent with the character. It’s a damn shame the campaign lasted one and a half sessions before being swapped for a Strixhaven campaign.

As a fun fact about Goru, he is the first character i’ve played that was a homebrew subclass. I’ve had characters made before that were homebrew (Such as Wu-Tangs back up character) but neither of those were actually used. And even if the aberrant barbarian was super janky and unbalanced. It was cool to actually play a subclass that I made. Maybe next time funny turtle man.

The last character here is my third most recent character. The 6th level human Chronurgist Wizard/Artificer named Dimitri Leviticus. They were made for a superhero campaign where, I originally wanted to be a homebrew gravity paladin, but the dm vetoed it cause it was too much. Which you know what, that’s on me, so trying to fill the party roll as both the spellcaster and the ranged blaster. I made Dimitri. Dimitri’s career started within as a toy maker, coming from a toy making family (Who were actually pieces of shit but they didn’t know that) Eventually their shop would’ve been blown up and, while in an apartment, with some guidance from a voice in his head they would make a device that allowed him to warp time. So they joined the new dawn academy in order to become a hero, both to bring smiles to the world in a way their toys can’t, and to possibly find out what happened the night their shop was bombed. Dimitri’s probably some of the most fun i’ve had with a caster (Much less a character) In a while, I reflavoured a bunch of their spells to fit the toy/steampunk theming of the character. Such as the web spell being flavored as a web of monkeys in a barrel, find familiar was flavored as a clockwork animal With a prominent wind-up mechanism in their back, and their version of chromatic orb was them throwing powered dodgeballs. Sure they were also mechanically strong and were kind of overpowered. But they were still super fun to play, if even just cause you get to look at any roll your DM made and say. ‘You know that’s a very nice roll...How about we reroll that”  The campaign was a bit of a mess and i’m 99% sure it’s done for. But hey, at least I came away from it with some good memories. 

That’s all of the DND characters i have drawn up atm. I might talk about some other characters i’ve played in another post. But for now if you’ve read this far, thank you. Go out and play some DND or something. 

My very first fire genasi. I had a little trouble with the hair I think I'm going to work on it a little more when I start drawing and getting used to my app but I'm pretty proud of how he turned out! 😁😄🥰

This is where I start using random character generator with my dice. Since I have 21 sets I figured I should make characters to go with each of them so I know exactly what I use them for I'll have characters prepared so I don't have to worry. However I am a dice Goblin so I'll be making a whole lot of characters 😅😁🙃

Some characters I designed for another Halloween campaign that are DM put together. It was a really cool murder mystery that he Homebrew dog by himself with a bit of help from myself and a few others! I'm really proud of how some of these turned out!

My brother's dnd character, Alto Stratus (he/him), who is an air genasi monk that my brother came up with for a campaign (not one that I played in rip) and asked me to draw for him. :)) <3

I'm so-so about this art, it's very rough to me, but I figured I should post it, since it still means a lot to me.
