The Wyrm’s Warren

Of all the characters I’ve brainstormed, picking Ominis’s class was the hardest.

The others were all no brainers. Ominis . . . was a puzzle.

I finally settled on Cleric after debating between it and Monk for, like, two weeks. The deciding factor was watching my hubby play BG3 again and befriend Shadowheart.

- While remarkably tank-y when built right, Clerics are most often healers and party support. Ominis is seldom part of the action, instead hanging back and offering assistance via advice. He is far from incompetent, but he doesn’t relish the heat of battle. (Monks are the most melee of melee fighters.)

- Clerics are tied to the organizations that trained them. Part of their draw is their close connection with a religious organization the DM can use to either help or hinder the party. (Basically, they’ve got some great built-in backstory baggage.) Ominis is tied to his family and his trauma, tied to the Sallow twins and their ordeal, and tied to his own warped need for penitence for his existence.

- Like Paladins, Clerics are driven to some strict moral or organizational code. For instance, a vehement rejection of dark magic.

Bonus: The other characters I’ve been drawing. A tiefling sorcerer and an astral-high elf warlock.

Hi all! I’m still alive. Been lurking with no social media battery to interact. (Holidays wiped me out, and then other creative projects snatched me up.) But I think I’ve built up enough energy to hop back in here. Especially because we’ve hit a lull and lost some good people (I’ll miss youuuuu 😢) and need all the engagement we can generate.

Plus, I upgraded my drawing setup (with the stipulation that I draw at least 20 minutes a day), so I can finally draw without my 2-year-old attempting to steal my tablet.

Thank you to all the lovely people who sent me sweet asks and messaged me about commissions. You guys are the best. I might not message you back, but know you’re appreciated. Commissions are gonna be closed for now until I can get my wits back about me. (Probably after I have baby #2. Not like I’ll be sleeping anyways hahaha.)

Love you all!
