    I love the flavoring of her Barbarian rage as blackouts rather than a honed sense. Really gives her that super powered evil side kinda vibe, which I love. It reminds of when I played my Tiefling Shadow Sorcerer and whenever he used Sorcery Points, his veins turned black and his emotions dulled. A constant reminder of where his power came from

      That is cool! I have a barbarian, who is of the small races and she instead of rage she is just a little too excited to fight and reckless is just her being a little over exuberant with the thrill of the battle. Very happy go lucky that does have to be held back from time to time. Thankfully she honorable and prefers a fair fight. Its a fun flavor! I also have a sorcerer to play one day who’s source aberration. When she has full spell slots she will be jittery and unable to focus or sit still as the alien power doesn’t mix well with her. Once she uses half her spell slots she becomes calm, reasonable, thoughtful and caring.

    • @MyAramil
      @MyAramil Рік тому +4

      I always love the "rage" as being described as something other than "I get super mad and hit things harder"
      Could see it also being described as the barb retreats into their mind, becoming disjointed to a degree from their body, which would explain their ability to shrug off most damage easily.

    so many things i love about this 💜
    - the backstory/interview voiceover while making the costume & getting ready was really nice
    - "Kinda like you dad did." "What? No!" makes me wonder more about Penelope's feelings towards her dad leaving and whether or not this comment might weigh on her.
    - FRANCIS!!! :D
    - Penelope's mission to basically rid herself of her barbarian class makes me wonder about actually making such a mechanic (if it doesn't exist already, that is). depending on the type of game you wanna play, such a mechanic could be helpful to like test out multi-classing without the firm commitment, or be used in a sinister threatening manner with some BBEG threatening to strip away the groups' powers

    Love it! I also have a gnome barbarian. She wanted to be a paladin with the Order of the Protectors of the Small, but she got kicked out of the academy. If you ask them, it was because she couldn't control her temper, but if you ask her, it's because they're a bunch of snobs who only let people from noble houses graduate. (They're both right.) Anyhow, all that time spent working in her clan's copper mines and at their forges means she packs quite a wallop! 😄

    Darb
    he's a half orc raised by humans off to find his mother and having to deal with his own inner demons and people's distrust of orcs. He has at least a level in barbarian but will focus on being a bard "music calms the savage beast" and he does like to make music, and he wants to prove to everyone (even/especially) he's not a monster, and maybe prove himself to be a hero.

    I really liked this format of of character introduction. It was fun watching you make the costume/outfit with the character narrative (in her own words) in the background. Both kept me equally entertained. I'm looking forward to hearing more about Penelope: her history and her adventures both and how she grows and if she should interact in some way with some of your other characters, all the better! Thank you for sharing. :)

    Omg Ginny, I literally just found your channel a month ago while I was doing a research towards my first dnd campaign ever. Turns out, I fell in love in your channel more than I thought I would.. You have everything I could have asked for, role playing, character creation tips, cosplaying, make up, product reviews, and now SEWING AS WELL?? I didn't know you made your own costume, Ginny I adore you so much!! Big hug. P.S. my fave video is the one with your high school story with blue make up kkkkk

    This might be a bit left field and probably a lot of work for a "one off", but it would be cool to hear more stories of Penelope and have them animated (or even some still frame type things). Or even act out small scenes. Would love to hear of her exploits, and having some visuals to it just works great for a video. Understandable if this is a "hard no", as it could be a ton of work. But at the very least, definitely more stories from the sessions.

    I like that your backstory has the inciting incident for her rage. I too played a barbarian as a PTSD sufferer who left his tribe after deciding that he wasn't safe to be around. It gave some great roleplay with his best friend, a Redemption Paladin who used his Calm Emotions ability to help him deal with his trauma and rages.

    As a person who purposefully picked to be a pink haired female gnome warrior main tank in WoW, I approve of your newest character! The thought of something so little being a legitimate threat while still being adorable on a normal basis amuses me greatly! Her aesthetic is amazing! Love all the purples!

    I have been playing a deep gnome barbarian named Cupcake, for awhile now. She was suppose to be just a one time character for a one shot. I loved playing Cupcake so much, I have been playing her in my husband's campaign. The rest of the party has nicknamed Cupcake, "The Bloodthirsty Toddler".

  • @danieljohnson9917
    @danieljohnson9917 2 роки тому +1

    She's adorable. I would protect her with her life. Given the mention of claws, I'm assuming she's using the Path of the Beast, which is a personal favorite. Out of curiosity, since she seems to fear the actions she takes when she rages, how does she feel about people who take those same action while fully in control of their actions? People who are violent by choice, that sort of thing. Do they scare her? Disgust her? Fascinate her?

  • @robertmcginty4146

    That. Was. Adorable!
    I've started thinking a lot more about outfits in my current campaign which has a bit more of a focus on survival, perhaps because of your influence too.
    I'm playing a sea elf who spent the last century among humans, in a huge city set in a tropical climate. I figured she probably prefers loose white clothing and shoes when she's spending time in the upper city, to protect her from the heat and avoid attracting attention, but wears a form-fitting dark sharkskin armor with shorts and no footwear when she goes out for a swim at night or ventures in sketchier parts of town. She's going to have quite a shock when she goes to a region with snow!
