I play a kenku in my DnD campaign, and I always get tripped up rushing to answer questions or explain myself- only to be reminded that my handsome bird can't speak lmao. How do you work with dialogue-heavy interactions? C:
I avoid them as much as possible. Not because my character can’t speak (she can) but because I’m shy and trying to speak in character makes me want to jump off a cliff.
Fortunately (or because of that?) my character doesn’t speak much, doesn’t answer questions, and doesn’t explain herself. Instead, she has very loud body language, which is much easier for me to describe.Â
A very common expression for whenever someone proposes something that sounds like a bad idea:
I don’t remember why she was raging in this pic, but it’s pretty safe to assume the other kenku in our party was responsible.
At one point she was angry while also hiding from some goblins. When a goblin found her under the bed she was just a giant, hissing, black dust bunny. uh, it looks like that’s all the art I have access to at the moment. I’m away from home right now.
