    All I could think of hearing Mike’s description of “Oath of Glory” was that this is how Corizon would find religion.

      "I've got a pair of dice, and I don't know how this will end"
      a warlock who's sub-class is the genie patron thing,
      but a true chaos neutral patron,
      who gives you a set of dice,
      and DnD rules on rolls (except gettibg the max roll means getting another roll, recursively),
      and each roll of dice a totally different magic happens which does what you want in a reverse-wish-master : (you don't get the spell you want, but you get the result you want, eg grease means everyone in range gets hit by lightning or something, but everyone's down in the end)
      so like you're a warlock but no one knows what you are coz you can perform spells from any class,
      and true chaos neutral means your patron God has weird objectives in each encounter/mission,
      and your party has to help or else a weird consequence
      plus the personality of the patron is not your personality,
      so you can be lawful good etc,
      but your combat/magic style is true chaos neutral,
      so you can be the most useful or the most destructive, only the dice know
      and of course you can choose to balance it,
      but imagine a party of true chaos,
      any stat check has no modifiers,
      any ability has no profeciency,
      only that you can choose to multiply by your level, or not, the dice know

    My first character concept from Tasha's is Milo Glimstejn, an old Halfling gardener, the fire keeper of his burrow and recent widower. His loving relationship to his family's burrow, the garden and the fire made him a Circle of Wildfire druid. Fire heals and fire hurts, it gives warmth and it leaves cold ashes. And when you bury the ashes, new life grows. He's a gentle soul, but ever since the death of his human wife, who fell peacefully asleep he grew restless. Now he is on a journey to relive the travels of his youth, where he learned his craft. Also he seeks the most beautiful blooming grove to bury his wife's ashes, after which he wishes to return to his family.
    He wield's his wife's sabre, a staff for walking, wears a thick boar hide as armour and uses a large pine cone as a spellcasting focus. And I really want him to be proficient with cook's tools.
    So my concept is that he's kind of the party's moral compass. He's old, he's wise, he tries to be a pacifist where there's no need for violence and he also likes to tend to the people around him. He cares for his party and he puts the need of others first. But finally he's aware that he will part with them and is very aware of the dangers that he faces. As for his flaws is that he gets very attached to the people around him and he's kinda peculiar? He's not aware of how society works outside of his small village and he's not aware of, how for example, bartering works. He's socially naive I'd say.
    Edit: I will probably never get to play him, because I'm the forever DM in my group :(

      Also @Joseph Hales, I'm sorry i didn't get the references. The pinecone is actually a nod to using pinecones as fire starters. :D

But I guess that makes sense for them as a group/channel: since they aren't all _that_ deeply immersed into the D&D community, they can approach this material with a more genuine "oh gosh, have you heard about this cool thing called rage and how this book affects it" tone than other content makers might pull off.

    Just gonna put it out there that Corazon's a sailor by trade and traditional sailor tattoos are a pig and a rooster on the left and right foot, respectively, to ward off drowning. Also a swallow represents 5,000 miles of sailing, and a shellback turtle for crossing the equator.

    The nice helpful mimics that Jane mentioned made me wonder if you could make a Rincewind like character with a pet Mimic in the shape of a chest with a hundred little legs that does most of the fighting while your character either hides or runs away. I mean it would have to be a dexterous character with high constitution, Luck and longstrider are essential, but he can’t have too much working magic since Rincewind needs to be really bad at it, or at least the magic should be hillariously useless or prone to go wrong at least. Things like prestadigitstion, disguise self, and mend would definitivelly work but you couldn’t have Rincewind troughing fireballs. Sumoning spells could also work since that could simply be due to him seeming to attract trouble but also luck out of it. So say he’s facing a band of Goblin and all seems lost when suddenly a huge bear comes looming out of the woods attracted by the smell of the bear poo Rincewind happend to fall over in earlier, and by shear luck the bear attacks the Goblins instead of Rincewind.

      Unfortunately as someone who loves artificer ( I love having weird mechanical beasts as a steel defenders from gorilla's to giant war mammoths) I'm not terribly surprised. Few people are either interested in playing them despite them being the most creative class, especially when it comes to inventing how exactly their 'magic' works. I mean it's possible for them to make magic flame throwers, corrosive elixirs and power armour, but it takes a fair bit of imagination to make Mundane things sound magical in comparison to 'magic just works without any need to think about how it should work.'

She has to regularly gift her patron magic items in order to keep her favor, and uses the lantern as a sort of depository. As well, with her being a triton with a marid patron, I was able to argue that the lantern should totally be full of salt water, given that it’s meant to be a comfortable space for the warlock. Being able to hide in a lantern is also super useful too.

    I'm doing a cross class between Clockwork Soul Sorcerer and an Artificer, having them start out as an Artificer and discovering their Sorcerer talents as they dive deeper into the mechanics of Artificing. Backstory is they really wanted to be an Arachnomancer, but Lolth never answered them, so they went 'screw you Lolth, I'll be an Arachnomancer anyway, without your help!' and just kept making lots of of mechanical spiders.
    Their variation of the Steel Defender is a much larger mechanical spider (around the size of the Acromantulas from Harry Potter) with a seat on its back. Cupholders included.

    The most effective character I made was a Tiefling Ranger that had the hoard breaker specialisation.

For example my barbarian simply had a club that he whittled slots for magic items and he could randomly activate a random artifact's spell upon impact. But Shan is way more streamlined and I'm glad it's a class now. DMs wouldn't let me make them. Like minds.
