Dnd Warlock - Blog Posts
So cause I don’t have much else to talk about here. How about I talk about some DND characters i’ve played (And that I have art of)
My first dnd character was a 3rd-level Tiefling/Draconic bloodline sorcerer named Valentine. I don’t remember much about the character, I think his backstory was something about him being a president going out in the world after unlocking magical powers? But the most vivid memory I have of him is that I forgot to take actual leveled spells with them. So for a session or two, I was stuck casting firebolt for the whole session, and somehow I got the kill the kill on the boss fight. Needless to say the next session was way better! The campaign they were apart of didn’t last long but hey, I suppose if it weren't for this pride flag colored Tiefling I might not have gotten into DND. My 2nd DND character shown here was a 9th-level Human, Way of the Kensai Monk/Ranger named: Master Wu-Tang (Yes, he was named after the Wu-Tang clan) who left his family to join an assassins guild of monks, now retired, he joined a ghost hunting organization called “The Crows” in order to do something with the remainder of his life (For reference he was around 70). He was made because the DM wanted to have the party sort of split between ghost players and crow player characters. Having the ghosts be the spellcasters and the crows be the martial characters (Something like this. Keep in mind this was 2 years ago) I also recall wanting to make a DND version of Master Roshi (Without the perverted “Gags) and with that. Wu-Tang was born. Despite some issues the campaign would end up running into (Such as two sort of problem players that I will not name here) Wu-Tang ended up being my longest lasting character. Lasting countless sessions and going from level 3 to level 9.
The next character I made was for a Feywild campaign. A 5th level aasimar (Pre Monsters of the multiverse) Undead Warlock/Divine soul Sorccerer multiclass named Falus Lucifier. The basic premise of him was that he was born into a highly religious village that considered him to be a god. He visited a strange figure to try and find a way out, only to be murked by a band of Paladins. Though said strange figure would keep their end of the bargin (Sort of) reviving Falus by possessing his body. I basically ended up kinda playing Gabriel from Mandela catalogue as a DND character. Combat wise Falsus was pretty potent as he would cast bless on the parties martials (And himself) and use his form of dread before blasting away with eldritch blast. I designed him to be a blaster/support hybrid and my god I think it worked out, RP wise I unfortunately dropped the ball due to my less than stellar rping as the character and some odd decisions on my end. Maybe I should revisit the character concept sometime.
The fourth character here is a character I played for a very short-lived Curse of Strahd campaign, a 3rd level Tortle/Path of the Aberrant (Homebrew subclass) called: Captian Goru Zur Ganqwuc. Who on a sailing trip to barovia would fall into the depths, sinking deeper and deeper before waking up with strange tendrils on his shell and gaining new powers. They were basically a grouchy old guy that had this quirk of calling people peck-neck, just to he could cuss someone out without anyone but him knowing what he meant. (Yes I took the line from a A Hat in Time cause I thought it was funny) he was pretty fun to rp as cause I got to do this gravely irish accent with the character. It’s a damn shame the campaign lasted one and a half sessions before being swapped for a Strixhaven campaign.
As a fun fact about Goru, he is the first character i’ve played that was a homebrew subclass. I’ve had characters made before that were homebrew (Such as Wu-Tangs back up character) but neither of those were actually used. And even if the aberrant barbarian was super janky and unbalanced. It was cool to actually play a subclass that I made. Maybe next time funny turtle man.
The last character here is my third most recent character. The 6th level human Chronurgist Wizard/Artificer named Dimitri Leviticus. They were made for a superhero campaign where, I originally wanted to be a homebrew gravity paladin, but the dm vetoed it cause it was too much. Which you know what, that’s on me, so trying to fill the party roll as both the spellcaster and the ranged blaster. I made Dimitri. Dimitri’s career started within as a toy maker, coming from a toy making family (Who were actually pieces of shit but they didn’t know that) Eventually their shop would’ve been blown up and, while in an apartment, with some guidance from a voice in his head they would make a device that allowed him to warp time. So they joined the new dawn academy in order to become a hero, both to bring smiles to the world in a way their toys can’t, and to possibly find out what happened the night their shop was bombed. Dimitri’s probably some of the most fun i’ve had with a caster (Much less a character) In a while, I reflavoured a bunch of their spells to fit the toy/steampunk theming of the character. Such as the web spell being flavored as a web of monkeys in a barrel, find familiar was flavored as a clockwork animal With a prominent wind-up mechanism in their back, and their version of chromatic orb was them throwing powered dodgeballs. Sure they were also mechanically strong and were kind of overpowered. But they were still super fun to play, if even just cause you get to look at any roll your DM made and say. ‘You know that’s a very nice roll...How about we reroll that” The campaign was a bit of a mess and i’m 99% sure it’s done for. But hey, at least I came away from it with some good memories.
That’s all of the DND characters i have drawn up atm. I might talk about some other characters i’ve played in another post. But for now if you’ve read this far, thank you. Go out and play some DND or something.

Magic Object Idea
Reassembled Painting
Description: What seem to be the painting of a famous artist, but with something wrong. The original was a different painting of another famous artist that was then magically cut in small squares and glued precisely back on to look as the other work. The name of the original is on the back of the frame. It yearns to return its original state.
With an investigation roll of 13 or lower the character doesn’t notice anything, 14 to 17 the character notice the colours are slightly different and in some places wrong, 18 or higher and the character notices the cuts and realise what’s been done to the painting as they read the original painting’s name.
Functionality: once a person stands in a 30ft radius of the painting for a long period of time, the sound of scissor will be overheard repeatedly in the air, this sets the start of the “attack” of the painting. Depending on for how long the character is in sight of the painting, it will try to get their attention and to make them suffer its own curse by:
• Swapping colours of their features, for example making their hair the colour of their eyes and viceversa, or making their skin the colour of their armour and viceversa.
• Swapping two people’s features, in case there are at least two creatures in sight, for example swapping the hair, armour or voices of two characters.
Everything is restored after the character moves 40 feet away from the painting.
To restore the painting the players must either break its curse with magic or restoring it manually in two hours of in-game time where the effects are minimal as the painting returns to its original state. (Make it so there is a way for a character with no art knowledge to know how the original looks like, by either putting the painting somewhere where they can be helped by a professional or maybe by making them find earlier a book of paintings of famous artists)
Once the painting is restored, depending on the character that saved it’s class, it changes form:
Artificer: the painting fuses with their tools giving them a beautiful coat of color, +1 to any checks made using them.
Barbarian: the painting fuses with the barbarian to make tattoos of beautiful art all over their body, +1 to Cha checks
Bard: the painting fuses with the Bard’s instruments, +1 to any attack made using them (magic and not, but only attacks that would damage a creature or more)
Cleric: the painting fuses with their shield, turning it into a fine piece of art dedicated to their god or deity, +1 AC
Druid: the painting fuses with the staff of the Druid, or changes in a similar way their Druidic focus, to make it look like a beautiful representation of blooming nature
Fighter: the painting fuses with the boots of the fighter turning them into a beautiful peace of art, +5ft on all speeds (that are not set to 0)
Monk: The painting fuses with the knuckles of the Monk, marking them with beautiful tiny tattoos, +1 max ki point
Paladin: The painting fuses with the paladin’s blade, turning into to a shining piece of art with its hilt beautiful yet still practical. +1d4 damage dealt using the sword
Ranger: The painting fuses with their bow or ranged weapon, marking with drawings of the hunt, +1 to all Wis checks
Rouge: the painting fuses with the daggers of the rogue, turning them into a deep black colour when they hide but a beautiful piece of art when they don’t, +1d4 to sneak attacks damage
Sorcerer: the painting fuses with the body of the sorcerer as a beautiful tattoo forms on their chest, gain an additional metamagic option
Warlock: the painting fuses not only with the character but with the pact itself that they made with the patron, making your Eldritch Blast look like a beautiful piece of art as it blasts your enemies, +1d6 damage dealt using Eldritch Blast (for Hexblade, it fuses with the weapon and deals +1d4 damage)
Wizard: the painting fuses with the spell book of the wizard, making its cover much more beautiful and depicting the spells inside with drawings too, +1 to the number of recovered spell slots AFTER halving the Wizard level (a 4th level wizard will be able to recover 3 spell slots instead of 2)
Inspiration: the video above, the idea of a painting cut to pieces to form another came to me listening to the story of a Black actress being forced to learn how to act as a White actress.
Mechanic/Feat Idea
Silliest worshipper
Description: You have the ability to use Divine Intervention and all the other “Ask to your God” spells any times you want with an instant recharge only if you use it for something silly (DM’s decision) and if your God is Chaotic-Neutral/Good aligned.
Functionality: You use the spell to ask something silly to your God (another of the same meal you just had, to win a low/no reward slug race, have a nice silly hat, find a good pun on the spot, etc etc) and the God does it, then you feel a pat on your head and hear an astral voice say “Yes, sure darling, no need to use your precious spells for this” you feel warm and then everything turns back to normal, with your wish granted.
This can also work for warlocks only if your patron is Chaotic-Neutral/Good aligned.
In general, this can take effects if your deity is a momma type, even if it’s Lawful/Good but if it is Lawful/Good sometimes it will say things like “But next time use it for good alright sweetie?” making you feel slightly guilty, the more you use it for sillies without using it for something good.
Inspiration: the BG3 playthrough of @dare-to-dm (silly paladins are my favourite, use this so you can have fun in D&D sweetie ❤️)
Character Idea
Warlock
Story: Warlock with a pact with a Deity to kill the paladins who break the oath with them
Functionality: Gives disadvantage to hit when the opponent uses an attack dealing radiant damage, additional bonuses to hit are not counted if the opponent is a paladin of the Deity
Inspiration: I don't know but I told this Idea to my older cousin and he said "cool" so I'm feeling POWERFUL
Genji was born into high-ranking family, but she never had arm. When she almost drown the sea monster gave her arm - tenecles - and magical power. She was so happy, but her family didn't accepted her so she went away and joined pirates.
She is fathomless warlock
D&D OC refs
Made in April
References for some more of my D&D OCs
Emerson Foxglove, warlock/rogue, abyssal tiedling, He/they. Was once a normal petty thief (minus the lycanthropy) until they pickpocketed the wrong adventures and had their legs mangled. They desperately called out for help and were answered by an archdevil, aka his new warlock patron
Janus Flimly, wizard, yuan-ti, he/him. A con man who uses his illusions to sell his fake potions until He met an adventuring party (same one as Em) who helped him to change his ways. He also has a drag queen boyfriend now (or partner? They/he pronouns)
Tahlia Maverick, bloodhunter/wizard, infernal tiefling, she/her. A loner who hunted monsters until she met a group of travelers (different than Janus and Em’s) She learned that the blood hunters she worked with were evil so she branched out on her own. She changed her last name/virtue name to Reverence to Maverick during the adventure. (It was. So cool)
Daisy Bloom, warlock, harengon, she/her. I have yet to actually play as her, but she’s a lawful evil warlock. Despite that, she’s super polite and motherly, and only ever does evil acts because she believes them to be right. She would willingly betray her allies if the devil she serves wanted her to. (The rock in her hand was something from the campaign I almost used her in until the DM decided not to run it due to anxiety. He’s doing it now but I’m playing as an asshole bard named Ashleigh)
Percival Q. Lillin
March 2024
Another D&D OC! I do not have an obsession! Ignore me shoving my other 60 D&D OCs in the closet behind me!
Percival is an NPC shopkeeper who’s a powerful sorcerer with some levels in warlock due to his husband being an Archfey and that coming with magical benefits.
He’s one of my favorites tbh and I don’t draw him as often as I should
Guess where I've been :)
