Who else believes in Chuu? 😭😭
Welp.. you finally did it. Commenting before me while I wasn't really busy. You've beat me in my own game, which means
Hail Astoshan and self like mode on! No heretics (non believers to Chu, almighty) allowed!
*Self-explodes*
Me
I believe in Chuu
Chuu the true i believe in you
I believe in chu, Chuu!
Ah. Bless his heart. No seriously, keep him blessed.
The heart he ate?
@@Solrex_the_Sun_King both
I see Chuu as a pact of the celestial Warlock. And because Chuu is really devoted the gods of the light domains and now preaches truth, he could become a Paladin with the Oath of Devotion.
Technically, this is more likely to be a Great Old One, but Celestial could also sorta work.
alaras I can’t really see it as GOO pact. The patron is more of a divine entity than an metaphysical being of horror/insanity from how it sounded in the story. But hey, it’s D&D, everything is flexible flavor wise.
@@SilentZieth Oh have you read about angels in the bible? Divine Entity's are eldritch horrors. Trust me angels are actually pretty terrifying. They are beautiful and horrifying in equal measure and most humans are unable to process what they are even seeing. They have 4 faces and 4 wings usually several animal faces as people who encounter them cower in fear before their presence.
Then there are the ones that appear as interlocking wheels of fire with numerous eyes along each rim.
There's a reason the standard celestial greeting translates to "be not afraid!"
funnyblog100 Oh yeah. I forgot about the original description of angels. So having divine entity as patron can definitely work as both a GOO and Celestial, but it’s really up to the player what the pact would be.
Chuu 30f away: "I cast smite!"
BBEG: "YOU FOOL"
Party: "Oh Chuu"
Chuu : *Casts eldritch blast*
BBEG and Party: " *𝙉𝙖𝙣𝙞* ?!?"
Lol pretty close to the original joke.
BBEG: "YOU FAILED! YOU'VE ALL FAILED! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAA!"
Chuu: >o< "Holy smite!"
*casts eldritch blast*
Everyone else: "...... um... wat?"
As long as Chuu didn't eat the heart of Zadzgedoff... Otherwise that would get a lot more interesting, explain, why the holy light doesn't hurt him & explain the Eldritch blast ;)
Chuu might end up purifying the deity of the hatred that consumes him just through his own purity and strength of faith.
That would be wholesome
I thought it was Chuu that consumed the deity? :P
@@SeedlingNL Eh... kinda...? I don't know how living artifacts work...
@@c6rn6g2k1d DM's discretion, most of the time.
Actually, that was part of the original idea. The god wasn't necessarily evil it just got corrupted by the amount of hate he felt for being tricked. He turned from a God of Justice to a god of Revenge. Little Chuu's innocence and steadfast determination to do what was right all the time was supposed to change him back into a God of Justice
A story about a Warlock that isn't evil or have an evil Patron is like a story about a bard that isn't ... loose. Definitely a breath of fresh air.
I made a teifling celestial pact warlock who worshipped lathander
Makes me think of the necromancer that thought he was a cleric with powerful healing magic, spreading the word of "life after death" or something like that
Makes for a potentially silly or even glorious story
I want to make a necromancer wizard who is a homicide detective.
@@DHTheAlaskan Question the dead .... holy shit that is awesome.
That life after death attitude is probably the most lawful way to play a necromancer ever.
"I'm not desecrating corpses, I'm giving new life and purpose to those who can't be resurrected by gentler means!"
@@Cadiangrunt99 now I can think of a really easy way to frame someone
@@runtergerutscht4401 So.. Astoshan? :D
Aren’t the priests lying to him? They certainly aren’t providing him with the truth. I’d think his god of truth would be annoyed by this.
Its a white lie, like Santa claus or the easter bunny, something that the truth allows because it will be revealed eventually
@@Uniformtree000 Usually truth gods don't differentiate. You're lucky if they accept "omitting the truth" and "technical truth".
@@ErzengelDesLichtes those are just different Flavors
@@ErzengelDesLichtes rule of cool man
Perhaps chuu actually knows they are lying, the heart told him so. But his gentle disposition he convinces the deity that they mean him no harm and that they will tell him in the end.
The story has the beginnings of a great epic Tale it kind of has the same feel like the Gray necromancer storyline I really hope the author continues the tale of the Warlock lizard-folk with the heart of gold
This feels like someone's background story for their character rather than an actual dnd experience. Regardless, it was very well told, and the music and artwork were both excellent. Very well done.
This does feel like a wonderful backstory for a level 1-3 starting character, giving the DM some meaty plot hooks to work with in addition to starting small enough to justify being a fresh-faced newbie.
Good thing the channel is called "All Things D&D" then and not "Cool Campaign Stories"
It is a background story
Since a Warlock Pact can be made with a Celestial... A LG Paladin can easily multiclass to Warlock without violating their Paladin oath. They can have the pact with the same power they made their oath to.
Heck, depending on the fey it might seal the paladin path further.
I made an aasimar divine soul sorcerer that ended up making a celestial warlock pact with his guardian angel.
So, he's a warlock now, but he CAN become a paladin still? That'd be cool, so that they stop judging the poor lad!
They could also be Bladelock with a pact to a Holy sword.
There is a fine line between a Warlock and a Paladin.
I once had a PC paladin who after barely surviving an encounter, lay in his hospital bed and pleaded with his deity for the power to rid the world of these evil forces.
The deity came before him and spoke something along the lines of "when you swore your oath, it was not in service to me, but in service to those who use my power.
You were merely pawn of an institution that seeks to control the masses.
Take of my power, become my champion, and you shall have the strength to which you seek.
All you must do, is serve me for all eternity, and rid this world of corruption and evil"
He accepted, and arose the next morning a Paladin of Vengeance/Hexblade Warlock.
In truth, there really isn't much of a difference between a Paladin and a Warlock. Both derive their powers from otherworldly sources. As such, there's no reason for why a Paladin couldn't make a pact with their Deity directly.
As long as the pact and the oath do not contradict each other, of course
My favorite race is kobold, I think they are adorable and they just try so hard.
Also funny thing I heard about patrons, it doesn't particularly matter what you do with the power you're given, the patron knows that when you die it's power shall be returned, so all that really matters is that you grow stronger so that they can get more power when you die, which means you could have a pact with devils and do only good things as all that matters is the power you'll give your patron when you die.
Yeah, Kobolds are awesome.
As for Warlocks, it depends. Some are just fine with that, others require a specific service or special tasks, and still others may simply ask to call in a favor.
"If your favorite race is mosterous you are most often DM" I dont remember who said it, but it was on youtobe, so dig in for souce. I agree too much with this statement.
I guess it was Blaine Smith.
I've never DM'd, I want to but lack the talent. I do love monster races, anything weird or wacky is so fun, I'm currently playing a goblin alchemist, and hopefully my next character will be a kobold shaman (I already have her backstory but DM says no homebrew) if my DM doesn't let me have a funky little totem lizard I'm gonna make a warforged barbarian druid and destroy all his hopes and dreams.
@@Sparrow_Bloodhunter Fear not. Page 119 of Volo's guide has the canon information to play a Kobold PC. So no homebrew needed.
@@SorceressJacklyn it's not the kobold thats homebrew, it's the class, shaman isn't a default class and my DM will only accept homebrew from D&Dbeyond. I just want to make little totems and shoot lightning at people.
@@Sparrow_Bloodhunter Ah my mistake. I forgot the shaman was homebrew due to how well the creator did making it look official.
D....DID HE EAT THE ANCIENT ARTIFACT?! **thats stupid** he’s a sweetheart but WHO MAKES AN EDIBLE ARTIFACT?! this sounds like a total bagel/souls of the innocent situation don’t it? YIRBEL LIVES!
I prefer smoking a Necronomicon joint.
Purple Rubric Marine what happened to just taking a weird looking sword from strangers in an alley?! Warlocks these days...
It some good stuff man
I mean, it is a heart, and they said he isn't the smartest. A creature who's never seen violence may not know what an actual heart looks like.
Yogurt of the Multiverse yeah but...ITS A GOD HEART. You’d think they’d be a bit harder to eat...
Hail Chuu! Knight of his own heart and divine soul.
Tieflings are one of my favorite races to play as. I especially like playing as a NG tiefling. Tiefling are made to be the subjects of supernatural fear, especially when their appearance (horns, tail, reddish skin, and eyes) is a constant reminder of their dark origin. My favorite character I've ever played was a tiefling bard (not the stereotypical bard that tries to get in everyone's pants) named Leucis Gelmori. He may take part in some light flirting, but no farther than that. His heart already belongs to a young (for an elf) wood elf woman whom he used to be in a party with in his backstory. She was the one who had given him the lute he carries with him now. He has a fondness for people and likes seeing the smiles on their faces.
Got a tiefling of my own. Chaotic Neutral warlock with pact of the fiend. Her patron is all about chaos and keeping things from being stagnant, rather than trying to push good or evil higher up on the scale. For her, she views the world as a form of entertainment like we would watch TV. So long as she finds things interesting, she lends her power, and in this case, finds great enjoyment out of the antics my tiefling and her party gets in. Even if said tiefling is constantly trying and failing to be the voice of reason.
I want to see more of this story
it has potential to possibly be just as good as onyxiya's or astoshan's story
My favorite race is Tiefling. But then I've always loved the demons and devils of D&D. And since most DMs won't allow me to be half-fiends, or full fiends, I have settled on Tiefling as a good alternative.
The modern version of tieflings have sucked since ownership of D&D changed hands. In their PC version, tieflings were amazing in that they had no set set appearance or set powers. Instead, a player would roll on 3 tables for abilities, appearance, and special traits. If you had a good DM, you could work with them to make a specific tiefling that would be descended from a particular fiend. Aasimar had the similar but different table as well. This made both races more interesting than the stock race they became in later editions.
@@craigtucker1290 Just looking at that UA for Fiendish Options... one day, maybe, perhaps. But yeah things got pretty messed up in 4E.
Notably going by XGTE, tieflings can be born of a devil parent and either a tiefling(7) or human(8) parent from a d8 roll from the "this is your life section". So Tieflings do not have to be of the Asmodeus bloodline anymore.
@@DoomsdayR3sistance A tiefling back in the day was only ever a quarter-fiend. If a devil (Baatezu) had mated with a mortal, the result was a devil-kin, not a tiefling, just like if a demon had mated with a demon (Tanar'ri), the prodginey was either a cambion or an alu fiend. It was from these half breeds that tieflings were descended from.
Things have been pretty messed up since WotC took over and started dumbing down things. It started when WotC removed consequences of player choices in 3rd edition. Not only that, but WotC has messed up the cosmology of the planes with the current version just being a disgrace and making absolutely no sense with the most implausible explanation of its current state. While I do like the quite a few of the mechanics with the current edition, the cosmology and the settings are a mess, though to be honest 4th edition ruined a few of those settings before 5th finished making a mess of the cosmology.
@@craigtucker1290 I don't disagree, that teiflings can be essentially half-fiends thing does go a bit far but does mean at least that variety should be around again. However I can't say that 5E has been a bad thing (4E for sure) but 5E does feel like it has a lower bar for entry.
As for the lore overall, yeah, it's a complete mess and even most of the WotC staff don't even seem to remember what is canon or not to the lore of Forgotten Realms these days.
Also why is it impossible for two tieflings to have children (just a bit of lols when looking at this section in XGTE)
@@DoomsdayR3sistance WotC has consistently retcon'd the history of the campaign settings to the point that it is not very believable and the settings lack that verisimilitude they once had.
I do not like the idea of tieflings being half fiend since these are actually several different types of creatures that are half fiend like the Cambion, Alu-Fiend, Devil-Kin, and Demon Fey, according to canon. I remember this statement on what a tieflings is:
"Well, when a half-bred fiend mates with a mortal, the result is a quarter-breed - a tiefling." Faces of Evil: The Fiends, page 96.
That is canon on what a tiefling actually is while every half-bred fiend is something else with most being named. Allowing tieflings to be half-breeds is WotC retconing what actually was into something that it isn't and at the same time making it more simplified and not as diverse by making tieflings almost cookie cutter in appearance. At the same time, certain cross breed races have been lost like the Tanarukka, the Demon Fey, Devil-Kin, and the Fey Ri (the last two were optional as a PC playable race). Sure they have been mentioned and there might be some updates, but as WotC plods on, the richness of what was has been lost and canon all but forgotten.
I liked the tables that were part of the randomness of the fiendish parent in that if someone wanted to create a tiefling specifically descended from a marilith, it was possible to pick certain traits that fit that lineage. This would require a competent DM willing to work with the player of course, but it did create some interesting characteristics and backstories. From canon, tieflings were capable of procreating, it was actually on one of the tables where the tiefling might be sterile (about 1 in 2000 tieflings cannot reproduce). Once again, retconing this to something else seems pointless, but someone felt like changing history for a reason.
I would LOVE to hear more of Chuu’s stories. Seeing the way he becomes more of a central role in a bigger story. He’s so adorable
DUDE thanks for that awesome story, Chuu actually kinda, well no not KINDA , but for really real totes reminds me of Dory, from Finding Nemo.. you know like how she was eternally faithful and tried to be helpful, and honest. Aside from Olaf in Frozen she was IMHO the characters with one of the purest hearts I've ever seen... Just my humble opinion.
Wish there were more Chuus Dorys and Olafs in the world. 🤗
That would be very interesting to play. To tell all other players that you are a paladin while secretly being a warlock. A veteran player would find out quickly ofcourse but it would make for such great and interesting roleplaying. I might keep this idea for a future character of mine.
My favorite race is dragonborn. My first character was one and i've always loved playing them. I like them because they get so close to one the most powerfull and iconic monsters in DnD and yet they are so different.
I have a game with a PC Kobold who is doing this and I love it.
Well...
I do recall a story on here where the players thought a character was a warlock due to constant eldritch blast use...
Turned out they were actually a paladin, and really threw down in the climactic battle.
Ay another dragonborn fan. And I agree so much. They're dragons, but not dragons. They are related to dragons, but at the same time can become so much more. Personally, I believe dragonborn as a race hold the most storytelling potential.
Theres a perfect quote for this case: ‚‚Blessed is the mind too small for doubt, for the small mind is easily filled with faith."
My favorite races are humans, goliaths, gnomes, tabaxi and dwarves but i mostly play humans.
Hope is the first step down the path to disappointment
The ending was a great punchline.
Chuu thought he was a paladin, but no, he was a warlock. Something that is debatably worse.
A group of warlocks devoted to the same patron is called a Cult.
Change my Mind.
Warlock != evil my friend. Celestial Pact of the Blade Warlocks might as well be Paladin Lite, the difference being more emphasis on using your pact magic and the details of your pact with your Celestial patron. Sounds like Chuu's patron supports honesty and the destruction of undead, so what makes it all that different from a number of the "Good" Deities and Celestials?
Sielith did you mean to use
“=/=“
Also yeah celestial warlocks are cool beans.
@@damobeck1 nah, what I used is the common computer code for does not equal =D
Sielith oh... I was using math.. or at least as close as I could on my keyboard XD
The lizardfolk seemed over emphasized as evil given they are neutral in alignment
Lizardfolk have some really nice lore to run with and I adore their aesthetics. But my heart will always belong to kobolds.
But this story was amazing in any case. For me, the touching part was not so much that he passed judgement but more that all of this, all his life originated from a mere coincidence surrounded by death and violence as greed and savagery clashed in his old home. They must have had some reeeeally good preachers to never have him wonder where his parents were, why no one else looked like him and so on.
What about a Lizardfolk raised by Kobolds?
Not - a - single - nat 20 or 1! THATS the stories worth telling! Well, I am as happy for chew as anybody else :) Sounds like an awesome character backstory.
Stay crunchy.
A 4e character of mine was Fray Tejon the gnome luchador-priest of Segojan Earthcaller. I modeled him on King from Tekken and his real life inspiration Fray Tormenta.
He was a Brawler Fighter with the Ordained Priest heroic theme who was an orphan raised by the church of Segojan Earthcaller and became a priest (not a cleric though as he hadn't reached that part of the training yet) who found out the orphanage that raised him was facing financial trouble and was in danger of shutting down. So what's a strong, stout, and devout gnome to do? Why turn to prize fighting of course! So he won, and kept on winning, with all the money going to the orphanage naturally. All those "holy warrior" elective courses he had taken on his path to priesthood helped a lot, and he was a quick learner for the unarmed techniques used in the ring and even improved many of them such that he could pin those more than twice his size, he eventually became the unbeatable champion of the prize fighting circuit he was part of, so to spare the newcomers embarassment, and to get even more income to help even more children, he retired from prize fighting and became an adventurer.
My favorites tend to be the planetouched ones, there's just something compelling to me about the multiverse being such a chaotic mess that sometimes people are just born with obvious signs of planar influence that in any other world would be prophets or chosen ones, but are really just normal people with a little weird magic.
I have to say it took me a while realising that he doesn't have a conical head and is looking left but instead looks upward ^^'
I like all playable reptiles and with an interesting background like this, Chuu is especially loveable. Accidentaly devouring the cursed hearth of a forgotten god. That seems like something only lizardfolk can happen. I hope the backstories of the other partymembers are as interesting as Chuus.
Okay, so this brings me memories of my roommate's goofy World of Warcraft character back in the old days: Horsdouevres. He was a warlock, but he roleplayed the character as a paladin. He always talked in character, despite not being from an RP server. His hellfire was his consecrate. His fear was his "turn evil". His imp was actually his "Noble paladin steed", which he would promptly emote as sitting on and squishing.
Out of character, the roommate talked of the character as being "trained wrong, as a joke" by some pranksters at Northshire Abbey.
He BELIEVED and ENDLESS WATCH that's just awesome, I literally shed a tear of happiness for the lovable dolt
Honestly, this isn't the first time I have heard of some poor guy being lied to because of how pure they were. This story is so precious and adorable, I want to see more of Chuu
I’m playing a lizardfolk for the first time in a couple weeks, sure, it’s only my second campaign, but I *love* the little guys, say hello to Coldove, the lizardfolk pirate!
Chuu was always my favorite little Cinnibun >w< Precious little guy.
Found the OP.
'Sup Sanguine!
@@Lunam_D._Roger Reeeeeee!!! You found nothing!!!
For a Pathfinder Planescape game I decided to take Lizardfolk in a different direction and came up with the premise of an enclave of Lizardfolk in the Outlands who had been influenced and nurtured by a Couatl into a civilization of peace and culture, who favored a simpler lifestyle but were not unsophisticated. They were capable of richer emotional response. Their lore stated that the Ancestral Mother was gifted seven eggs by the great Quet'Zhual, Lord of Feather and Fang. Each egg gave rise to one of the Seven Clans of the Xi-Couatl, the Couatl-Kin Lizardfolk, who call themselves Atzo'e-Ma or Spawn of the Seven. The Atzo'e-Ma have feathered crests and further tufts of feathers at joints and tailtip, and each clan is distinguished by a distinct color of the rainbow. Some develop rich multicolored crests, which mark them as destined to become Questing Knights of Quet'Zhual. I played one such, Naxtlacotl of the blue-crested Za'Extli-Ma clan, a Paladin of Xymor with his bonded mount triceratops named Chotaka'e or 'Threefold Piercer of Falsehood'. In keeping with the Couatl theme their aesthetic is very Mesoamerican in style, which always looks good on lizards. So Naxtlacotl ran around wielding a giant two-handed Macuahuitl alongside an intelligent living bulldozer with the temperament of a happy puppy. I need to do more with the Atzo'e-Ma and their marshy home in the Sea of Trees.
I hope we get to hear more of this story.
I love warforged, always love robots but something about a warforged battlesmith really makes me happy. Robots building robots.
Fav race has got to be tabaxi I just love their cunning and klepto minds. Not to mention their lovely claws to be used for climbing and combat.
Catfolk. I love the description of the race, their attitudes and quirks. Their just fun to role play!
lizardfolk one of my favorite races
My personal favorite race in Pathfinder is the Catfolk. They are very much like humans, but even more varied. The best and the worst are found among them. I have a Catfolk character in a currently-running campaign, and her story is still being written. CW: fictional descriptions of assault and torture with a focus on overcoming adversity
Baz'neh Verasii was born to a doting, loving mother and father. She was born with tawny fur, a brown brush tip to her narrow tail, and a single bright green eye with her left socket being empty. She had an elder brother who she very much looked up to, and quickly became something of a tomboy. What her brother learned in the use of the blade, he taught her as well. However, her family scorned the use of magic because they saw it as an abuse of those who came before them. Now, this wasn't an issue for the other three, but when Baz'neh cut herself when she was practicing with her brother she instinctively healed it with magic. It was then that she was given two options by her parents. Give up or be cast away. She decided to give it up, but this lasted only a short while. Her hand was forced. She was severely wounded in a scrap that left her father dying in the street. She had no choice but to heal him as best she could, stop her own bleeding, and flee while leaving a path of tears behind her.
Of course, she knew nothing of survival, being from one of the civilized families, but she adapted as Catfolk do and learned quickly. However, she was captured by an awful dwarf and forced into slave labor. He had many of all non-dwarf races, the boys shoved daily into mines, and the girls made to work the farms. She constantly drew her master's ire for patching up the wounds on her fellow slaves, because she was keeping more hungry mouths around than needed be and therefore was cutting into his profits. She refused to let up, a fire in her belly hotter than the forges his kind so skillfully used. As a result, her punishments were particularly brutal, the worst being when he sealed her in a wooden box with only her head exposed and then buried it. She was stuck there for a week because nobody else knew where she was and was told to extricate herself. That's exactly what she did. Her master was shocked to find her hobbling back, emaciated, exhausted, but alive and with a furious expression on her face. She ate her ration, rebuilt her strength, and was put back to work the next day. Eventually while out foraging, she chanced upon a pure white Rabbitfolk, similar to a Catfolk with different bonuses and a more Eastern flavor.
This rabbit was named Kouneli Yojimbo, and together they formulated an escape plan. On the day, however, she was just about to leave when she stopped. She couldn't just leave everyone else behind. After some convincing, she did wind up leaving. To this day she knows she condemned all of her compatriots to death, something that weighs heavily on her mind and still thinks about daily. All the practice healing she had, however, had made her something of an accomplished Cleric at the tender age of eight. The two girls were inseparable after that, grew up together, traveled the continent, and eventually, Baz'neh entered into a pact with Aleria, the Lawful Good goddess of gardeners, healers, and lovers. She swore to minimize suffering as much as she could, and was given Aleria's sigil, two meadowlarks perched together in the silhouette of a heart. The intrepid duo just did odd jobs in major cities, though Kouneli had a penchant for thievery by taking things that nobles would never realize were missing like small amounts of money or a jewel or two that could be sold.
One day 18 years after their escape they found themselves invited to a party at a large tavern. They sat down at a large table and ate great food, sharing stories with other adventurers. Sitting across from her, however, was a hunter named Aglum who specialized in escaped slaves. Of course, they kept Baz'neh's childhood a secret for the moment. They were invited to sleep in the tavern, each party was given their own room. When Baz'neh woke, however, she was not where she went to sleep. She was in a sunless, windowless room with that same hobgoblin hunter and her companion nowhere to be seen. After a challenging fight against some undead ghouls, the two were reunited, and Kouneli informed everyone trapped down there with them that they were in the Undermountain, a haven for skullduggery and lawlessness. Now, the two as well as Aglum, a human archer named Alison, a human warlock called Dharsa, and a half-orc barbarian named Jaakuna must find their way back out of their predicament with no foreknowledge of how they got there or the route out.
I am addicted to story's like these 😂
Chuu is the kind of person that even a vengeful partly-corrupted God just doesn't have the heart to tell him the truth. And really, Chuu is doing exactly what he wanted anyway: undead need to be destroyed, integrity is its own reward, don't lie, cheat or steal, and pursue justice. He's like the child that wants One Thing more than anything else, and he got it and more. Sure, Chuu might not be exactly what that God had in mind both in terms of personality and in seeing his ultimate goal done, but the spirit of it is intact. And really, could he have asked for a more devout follower or contract partner?
Tieflings are by far my favorite D&D race. Hellish Rebuke, fire resistance, and darkvision. Plus they look cool and are sort of underdogs because people tend to not like them.
I have a lizardfolk wizard that I want to play again. The exact identity isn't important, just that they were too smart and survived long enough to become taboo in the tribe before getting exiled. Uses a bag of ornately carved bones instead of a traditional spellbook.
Edited: instead not inside
I don't know about a "favorite" race in D&D so much as "the race of the week" for whatever Character build intrigues me the most at the time... Half-elves tend to be "stand-by's" or "go-to's" when I'm without an inspiration to anything else... BUT I'm just as likely to play almost anything else. It's particularly likely when I can add to a Party who's head-count reads like a really bad joke.
...I might have a thing for the whole "misfit" trope. ;o)
Great character! A warlock who sets out on a redemption path...redeeming his god/patron, not himself. He needs no redemption, because he's just too guileless for evil intentions to ever take root. This character would be great even if he wasn't of an odd race to be either paladin or warlock, as lizardfolk care little for the planes and their denizens. Almost a new class: Palidlock or Waridin.
What's wrong with that? they're both charisma casters and the warlock is the only class in the game that works better if you're using it in a multi-class build, rather than a pure class.
Sorcerer also really need multi classing
@Milan Marković that is very true sorlocks FTW my favorite character was a sorlock all my characters have been char casters since
@Milan Marković yeah as an occasional gm I ignore the difference with focuses because fun is fun, and im not too well versed with any of those classes but from what I've heard wizard is really good for utility
@Milan Marković yeah thats true but if you force your player to lose faith or make their book burn then thats just kind if cruel but if the player goes out of there way to do those things then sure why not lose all your spells i really couldn't care less
@Milan Marković dont see em probably a connection issue, but i do feel bad for the original poster he's getting all these way off topic comments
My favorite race, the first I've ever played and always love being - is the Lizardfolk.
They are not as simple as made out to be - they are, instead, not complex. They are not heartless, and I disagree with Volo's guide - they can feel a full range, but that range is muted by hard living and a sense of practiccality.
My favorite ever is a Lizardfolk Ninja. No one expects a 7 foot tall lizard to just appear from nowhere. It works though.
Chuu will be the greatest "Paladin" ever!
another wonderful story chuu sounds like a great character hope nothing bad happens to him
My favourite race are the Dragonborn. They have such an interesting backstory, coming from a different World and all, and their breathweapon is pretty neat, too.
It is amusing that I took a similar aproach when making my Lizardfolk character, Bone-shaper.. making him a Warlock (lurker in the deep) and, in his eyes, an "almost a shaman" and follower of the "whispering water", without knowing it was in fact, the nearly forgotten Essilys, their one god before Semuanya.. and so far, he remains none the wiser, nor is his "brother" shaman...
just wanted to say i always look forward to watch you videos you helped me throught some shit bro thanks
Paladin: *makes a warlock pact*
Me: ...Celestials can be patrons, it's even a good buff & a valid lore win.
I now see chuu talking to his God and maybe. Just maybe helping them
I want to see this continued...
Thank you for the amazing content you produce it’s really helping me cope with some tough things going on in my life
Dang, wish I could hear the full story of Chuu’s life, as honestly that kind and pure being, is a story I would continue to watch/read for a long while. Plus wouldn’t he gain some wisdom/intelligence as time progressed, with him fighting what is a stereotypical warlock and showing the world what he really is, in a way maybe...huh what if at levels 5 10 15 and 20 he hit story crossroads, where he would become more knowledgeable about what and who he is, making choices on which path he followed. Where if at the end of level 20 his final choice if he choose all the right choices, the being he became connected to would either become a god, or a true devil?
It made me wish to keep hearing what happened next, it sounds like it's not over.
I actually ran into the guy who made chuu great dm. I might try to talk him into letting me dm so he can play the little guy.
All Chuu wanted was to get some honest Wyrk.
My favorite race is the Warforged. Playing as a fantasy robot is awesome.
Man, reminds me of a time I created a dwarven paladin. Of which good god?
All of them.
Because of some words shared with a stranger in a tavern.
He didn't know the dude was an avatar of a god when he said "Hell, I'll do just about anything for a good drink"
So now, if a god offers him a good drink he will serve them until the single task set is complete.
I had alot of fun with the surley drawf. Who really would rather be at a forge making useful things, like horse shoes and wagon wheels, not out here fighting some random holy crusade looking for some dumbass who decided to piss off the gods this week with half baked schemes of world annihilation
Gomes are my favorite race, but I love doing the yuan ti pureblood accent too.
My favorite race is either lizardfolk, kobold or hobgoblin
Thank you,! Please tell us more about Chu ! What happens to him ??
What if the digested artifact becomes cursed poo? Maybe that's how it gets destroyed. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best one.
This did come up and it was basically described that the reason the artifact couldn't be destroyed wasn't because it was durable, it was because it always regenerates.
It can be physically damaged and destroyed but it just always comes back.
However, this also meant that Chuu always had a belly full of meat and he could never starve.
I had to cut a lot of Corners to make the story shorter than a full-length novel. But there's a lot more details to it and explanations as to why I'm old God of order and justice is considered Unholy and even evil but along with Chuu cannot be destroyed by the light.
There's a lot to it but... I never really got to play very much with him. Just a campaign I myself ran which made Chuu sadly more of an NPC than a character.
@@levikarkiainen331 I love what you did. Great work
Levi Karkiainen One of the greatest backstories I have ever read! I would definitely recommend keeping him as a PC and playing him if you ever get the chance
@@DndBirb8659 I'll always keep them, he is the snuggliest of my characters
I like this God's system:
You killed and sacrificed? Off to hell you go
You were peaceful calm individual?? Piss of and git gud, we need no hippies!
Hail Astoshan and self like mode on..
I made you scroll down, didn't I? :D )
Kobolds, dont care if theyre not the best i love playing the lil cuties in campaigns!
Dragon born is my favourite species in DnD
so far it's warforged with artificer class is my favorite to play
I love contradictions in builds. A teilfing green dragon sorcerer. Two combos of blood known for lies tricks and evil. Yet he is a joyous life loving man who would sacrifice everything to save the good even if he was hated
Fav race is a tossup between kobold and armand. And go, Chuu! He's gonna be a better pally than most actual pallys.
Lizardfolk really do be like that.
A paladin warlock of the endless watch would make an awesome character.
I'm personally a fan of some of Pathfinder's extraplanar-based races. Ifrit, Oread, Sylph, and Undine are all interesting ideas that appeal to me.
But my top choice of these are Fetchlings. In essence, humans who were once enslaved in the Plane of Shadow, and grew to adapt to the environment. Half of this is because their design makes me think of Dark Jak (Jak & Daxter), and half is because it's pretty easy to make an interesting "escaped slave" backstory
I believe he truly is a paladin with a different set of powers.
I have a few favorite PC races, but I'll go with Kalashtar for now. I'm playing a Kalashtar warlock of The Lurker in The Deep, named Mystague Kalbrisia.
I would love there to be playable races like slimes and humanoid bees.
Was writting some ideas of a few races actually, I love lore quite a bit and sometimes I get these creative sparks.
Like artificial race made of humans, mimics and athcoids (gelatinous cubes)
I love playing any type of elves mostly half elves but also love teiflings (playing a bard in a friends game and playing a human wizard in my boyfriend's game), In a new homebrew (of another friends game) I'm playing a half-sea-elf paladin. I love her she a SUPER NAIVE!!! Level 1 killed a buddy of mine cuz I opened a door that had like 6-7 skeleton and a lich showed up, it was a shit-show but its funny to look at what happened and go "i've made a naive teenaged paladin....this will be fun"
goliath is my favorite race. right now running a goliath artificer. yea it got exiled when an invention exploded on accident and hurt the chief of the tribe
I mean i got a celestial dwarf warlock,level 5 pilgrim of the mountains. He is smiting more times than our paladin. out healing the lack of a cleric. and hell best way to attack invisible targets your tracking. Eldritch blast is used as a hunting tool.
(it states target a creature, but you don't need to see it. our DM ruled that if there is not creature there, then it does not get cast (wanted to break a door open at the time ).so i use it to figure out if an invisible creature is there or not. (our DM still has the creature move so it doesn't trigger the spell, but still )
I mean my dwarf thinks its divine magic.
(also medium armour on a warlock...sadly 10 dex)
I know what to know of the adventures of Chuu the bestest of good boys.
Lizardfolk are awesome. I would make a Sungazer Lizardfolk Oath of Ancients Paladin.
Aww chuu is still innocent , he kind of destroyed the artifact.he is still good and the artifact is gone
Its literally part of him now.whats to say that his own heart won't be its new embodiment you are what you eat.
awe how cute. they both got what they wanted
Orc. It's not easy being green. (I love tabaxi, elves and dragonborn too.)
Never expected to hear simply a backstory on this channel.
I chuu chuu chuuse you to be my Champion!
Ah, a player with intimate knowledge on lizardfolk, playing out a well written tale.
Lizard warlockadin needs buddies and hugs.
Would be awesome to have this guy on a game for my players!
My favorite race is without question, The Changeling
Looking forward to the next chapter
Hope this become a series of videos
So much better than my warlock origin..
[Howd you learn magic? ..
Uh.. got drunk. Then got amnesia..
So.. ever get your memory back?
Yeah. Traded it for more magic]
a great story indeed. i do hope to hear more of chuu. but i hope he never does cross the path of those of ashtoshan the grey.
I wonder if Wyrk was the same deity that Chuu’s tribe served.
i had a idea for a king arthur themed character where Excalibur was a sentient weapon which was blessed by a or wield by some powerful good aligned entity and could grant powers essentially like a warlock likely a combo of hexblade and celestial or similar idea instead of such a character just being a paladin or such but also would have a different play style as well in regards to story and how the character is played
