#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 31 – D&D 3E (WotC)
And so I end with a whimper, and not the bang I had been hoping for. This week can die in a fire. No. I refuse to go down that easy. So…the closest to a bang I can conjure on short notice is Scorch Talon. Scorch is a half-elf I created back in the day…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 30 – D&D 3E (WotC)
Well, this month ended in fire, not the triumphant crescendo I had hoped for. So I am going to tap my well of eTools 3E characters so I have something to finish with. This version of Orrin may be the first 3E character I ever played. A CG half-orc cleric of Kord for The World’s…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 29 – D&D 3E (WotC)
Today fell apart. So I’m falling back on the vast library of 3E characters I created when I was futzing around with the eTools 3E D&D program. Talk about a trip down memory lane! Sometimes you just want just have to use a really big blunt object to get the Justice across. Orrin – Half-orc…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 26 – D&D 5E (WotC)
This day on my hiatus brings us to a character I created for a mid-level one-shot that never materialized. I was interested in trying a ranged character, which is still not something I’ve focused on in 5E. Child of a wandering divine soul serving St. Cuthbert and a orc barbarian mercenary protecting the region, Holg…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 25 – D&D 5E (WotC)
Building on yesterday’s post, here’s Kevan as he ended up after the conclusion of the initial adventure. We leveled up part way through, and with only two party members, I felt I needed more beef while maintaining some healing ability. So I added another level of Paladin. Kevan d’York – Human Warlock 1/Paladin 2

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 24 – D&D 5E (WotC)
Following up yesterday’s post on the 10-year-old’s 3rd-level barbarian as we finished the adventure, I present my 2nd-level character at the start of the adventure. We started at 2nd-level. I’ve had fun in the past with divinely-touched arcane spellcasters (Celestial Warlock, Divine Soul Sorcerer), but I wanted something a little more beefy this time, while…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 23 – D&D 5E (WotC)
On the other hand, the 13-year-old is capable of coming up with a campaign seed and start things off. He has a self-described problem of continuing after the initial bit, but I am pretty sure that will come with time. So when he described his next pitch as “Escape from Totally-Not-Fantasy-Australia-Where-Everything-IS-Trying-To-Kill-You”, the 10-year-old and I…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 22 – D&D 5E (WotC)
Nothing deep today. This is just a 5E character I pulled together for a 5E adventure my 10-year-old wanted to run. Do you know what happens when a 10-year-old gets ahold of first level characters and the Monster Manual? You get the worst Monty Haul adventure you’ve ever seen with an increasingly bizarre number of…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 19 – D&D 5E (WotC)
Welcome to my first day of phoning it in. (I’m on vacation. While I’m on vacation, I preset a bunch of posts so I wouldn’t miss a day. That’s going to look funny if I mess up the first three weeks of the Challenge!) I belong to an online group of Facebook gamers who gather…

#CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 14 – D&D 3E (WotC)
Returning to my series of E6 characters that place highly in competition. This one is not a response to yesterday’s character, but it is very much a counterpoint to it. Sometimes, you just want to be the shining hero. Vitarri Pyhitetty Paranemiseen How do you deal with being born a literal force for law and…
