Salt on the breeze, lapping waves and cawing gulls, the sight of land shrinking far in the distance… the sea holds many wonders, but so too does it hold many terrors. Sailors are ever-ready to explore the wide horizon, far, far from land. It is the job of the clerics, then, to guide them back home.

-Cleric- Sea Domain v1Truth, righteousness, honor… all are most definitely words. If you’re a paladin, they may or may not be the only words you actually know.
Is it a good idea to have a self-avowed rogue write a post about paladins? Sure! I promise I’ll be (mostly) fair and even-handed. After all, who better to hang out with than the Paladin?
Pretty much anyone, actually.
Remember, if it doesn’t have the words “justice” or “glory” it’s probably a fighter feature!
Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that matter most. A good crop, a faithful hound, or a quiet and welcoming night. Pastoral life is peaceful, and yet strengthening. But wherever there is peace, violence will soon arrive – but for the defenders of it and their unwavering faith.

-Cleric- Agriculture Domain v1Welcome to Building Character – a new and frankly ill-conceived series of my weirdest character build ideas. This will be a fun chance for me to get out some of my more bizarre concepts without having to actually end up playing them, and also a way for me to share some of the stranger concepts I’ve actually played for.
Just as a quick note – these are meant to fun or funny, not particularly effective. I aim for functional, but beyond being “playable,” don’t expect too much in terms of power.
In any case, let’s get on with the show!

Continuing beyond death… the dream of many an evil sorcerer or warlock. A dream very rarely realized, save for the most cunning and powerful of creatures. But such monsters are ill-content to simply slumber away, silent. Most desire power, influence, and more from the living world, and are ever in need of loyal servants.

-Warlock- Embalmed Patron v1So… druids. I’ve talked about them before, and something about that has stuck with me ever since. More specifically, it’s about the Circle of the Land.
This time, though, I have a solution.
Join me as we once again delve the deep forests…
Locals know them as wise people, but overly suspicious and secretive. Powerful villains give them a wide berth – their eyes and ears are everywhere, and they can quite literally turn a walk in the woods into a suicide mission. Quiet, subtle, and powerful, these druids are more than just woodsy hermits.

-Druid- Circle of the Forest v1It’s been a while – to be honest, getting acclimated to the new job took much longer than anticipated. But I’m here now, and most importantly, I’ve had time to plan.
Thanks to the nature of the job, being on phones all day, I’ve had ample time to mull over various ideas for the site. The class-by-class reviews will be coming back, as well as a special on Circle of the Land. And don’t forget the homebrew – I’ve got homebrew Barbarians, Clerics, Druids, Fighters, Paladins, Rogues, Sorcerers, Warlocks, and Wizards!
After that, I’ve got a special project in store – The Pyramid Scheme, a short adventure focusing around exploring an ancient pyramid while being pursued by a rather odd mummy lord.
All in all, I’m glad to be back. I hope everyone enjoys all the new stuff and hey, if not, let me know! This website is just as much about helping me learn and get feedback as it is about sharing my work – feel free to either comment or email me at feedback@lawfulgoodrogue.com or send me general ideas and suggestions at suggestions@lawfulgoodrogue.com.
Welcome back everyone!
Since I started my series of articles on the various classes , I’ve wanted to go back and redo some to get a bit more mechanical. However I think the posts serve a purpose as they are now simply because they don’t get too mechanical.
Which is why I’m starting a new series that can get too mechanical!
Who needs weapons? Shut up Kensai, no one was talking to you.
Anyway… who needs weapons? Or armor, for that matter? When it comes to combat, all that really matters is skill, focus, and discipline – all particular specialties of the Monk!
So grab all that crap from the fighter article and throw it away!
