Blood! Gore! The screams of the dying, the adulation of the crowds… music, art, life and death! Call it bloodsport, call it barbaric, call it whatever you should like… but as long as the audience cheers, how bad can a little killing be?

Bard College of Glory v1For most, roguish arts are best done in secret, under cover of night and with the utmost silence. But even in the most clandestine of occupations, sometimes you need a little… punch. Someone a bit stronger. To break the kneecaps of your enemies, basically.
-Rogue- Ruffian v1
Wild eyes and fearsome howls – a spirit more animal than man, and more monstrous than any mere animal. They wield powers beyond mortal knowing, with influence over the most dread aspects of this world. Though technically still mortal, their horrific nature suggests anything but.

-Barbarian- Path of the Wilderskin v1So beautiful… more wondrous than anything ever seen before, more captivating than anything seen after. It doesn’t belong here, that is easy to tell. But its light is so sparkling, so gorgeous to behold, how could you want it to go away? No, no, it should stay… you should stay too, forever.

-Warlock- Otherworldly Color Patron v1Sticks and stones may break your bones. Cabers and boulders are much the same, only larger. In fact, nearly anything can break bones if you throw it hard enough – warhammers, small trees, enemies…

-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.

-Cleric- Agriculture Domain v1Welcome to Building Character – a new and frankly ill-conceived series of my weirdest character build ideas.
