My hand slipped and I turned an anatomy warm up doodle into a finished picture- Have a stretchy Yxala I guess!

Not much else to say here other than paladins needing a nice work out routine probably. Gotta get ready to save the world~ Also, serves for Day 22 of Drowcember, as Yxala is actually a half drow (and as always, reblogs are much appreciated!)

This blog hasnt posted in long time as I kinda juat forgot it existed so uhhhhh.... How about a thing on DnD alignment chart and what I think of it?

Cause honestly the whole lawful, chaotic, good evil thing has some flaws. Now, the good evil scale is easy to understand and the way I see it is good is for characters who do actions to actively try and protect "innocent" people/nature/the world, while evil are those that go out of the way to harm it. Now technically it gets confusing in morally grey area and my interpretation of it means good villains are possible. But I don't want to go too deep into moral greyness and that part of alignment now, really I want to talk about lawful and chaotic.

Personally I feel lawful and chaotic are the most poorly named and categorised lart of alignment. Now the general underatanding is lawful likes to follow order and personal codes/law of the land vs chaotic likes to not follow rules. But then the issue with that going against the idea of gaving laws can be a personal code of sorts thus making it lawfull. The problem with just the way its described is that it leads to naturally come to the conclusion of chaotic characters being "Lol I aM soOo RaNdoM". which is just kinda annoying alot of the times in actual serious games (tho it is possible to pull off successfully with someone good at rp).

And after thinking about it the way I kinda feel about the lawful - chaotic scale is a bit like the judging, perceving scale for personality with a little bit of the other traits mixed in too. Where those who are lawful are those who have personalities similar tho those who are judging and chaotic more like perceiving.

So imo lawful characters like things to have order and have rules. They ideally thing rules are important and thrive off ordered environments and like to follow those rules. They are characters who like to generally be in favour of coming up with a plan and following it. They can still totally break rules and laws but will tend to have a reason or plan as to why.

Meanwhile chaotic characters are those who ultimately like freedom. They don't like being stuck to a rigid schedule or plan and are the kind of character who is likely to be come up with solution as they go along. They are more likely to be a character that is indecisive and reply with maybe because as a character they may be afraid of being forced into a position etc (in rp as a character ofc being too indecisive as a player can be annoying). They generally like to pay more attention to their concience rather that what the regulations or rules say. They can also still have personal ideals or religions and such they follow and don't have to just another random pc. It's just they will more likely to be in a freeform way. This way chaotic clerics and paladins are also possible just they'd probably lean to a god/church that idealises freedom and dosn't ask alot of rules of them. Chaotic characters can also still follow rules and laws because they are not stupid. They just dislike situations of being organised.

(Note they don't need to be like this exactly, just fall in the general category.)

Tldr. The lawfull character is probably the one with a clean organised desk while the chaotic character is the one with papers everywhere, they know where stuff is themselves (or don't) it's just not organised that anyone else can know.

Ok this because I have a really popular post on how to generate the world map. This is really cool tips on what you can do after.

I did plan on someday making posts on these kind of thing but each thing would be its own long post so i didn't.

Anyway this is a cool post go watch these videos I think I've seen most of them. I guess if you use my tangerine technique it can help with coming up with the tectonics then you can decide where mountains and volcanoes go and then rivers and so on.

all the tips I found for drawing a fantasy map are like :) “here’s a strategy to draw the land masses! here’s how to plot islands!” :) and that’s wonderful and I love them all but ??? how? do y'all decide where to put cities/mountains/forests/towns I have my map and my land but I’m throwing darts to decide where the Main Citadel where the Action Takes Place is

Ancestry & Culture: An alternative to Race in 5e

I just got my physical copy of this wonderful tome by Arcanist Press! It has a great introduction that explains why the use of the term “Race” in our beloved role-playing games is so problematic, and then offers a great solution for it that fits right in-between existing 5e rules.

We’ve been looking for a good alternative to “Race” for the character options we publish on our patreon, and we’re now going to do some tests to see if this model is something we could use.

I highly recommend you check it out! The free preview on DiveThruRPG includes the introduction & full rules for alternate character creation.

I know that in my party, we’re always having to look up which healing potion does how much, and figured it might not be an uncommon problem! So here is my 5e potion of healing cheat sheet!

Ok so I was talking with some people in my DnD group about a pun armour on chain mail when I just came up on a realisation

DnD is a fantasy world with cursed items right.

So what if someone started sending cursed letters going like as soon as you read this you will find 10 gold. However, you must pass this message onto 5 other people or else she will appear and kill you after 7 days. And just like let the chain mail panic ensue.
