Adwina get ressurected by Ryleth eventually so I drew her new look now that she's no longer dead-

👘🥻👗Fine Robes

As a Bladesinger, Lily mostly wears whatever leathers she can buy. Her signature look always has a cape..because, elves, and Cloak of Elven Kind is an iconic DnD magic item that dates back to the earliest days of the game.

The amazing cape she’s wearing now is by Lynia, and you can get it here.

The girls, the gays, and the woodland aristocracy have been serving invisible elegance in those things since practically the dawn of the game. It is not just a cloak. It is a tradition. A lifestyle. A commitment to looking beautiful while becoming difficult to perceive.

But also—and this is the part I love for Lily—it feels comforting. She is far from home so much of the time, and the weight of it over her shoulders feels familiar in a way very little else does. She wears it when it is not quite cold enough to need it because sometimes the point is not warmth. Sometimes the point is wanting something soft and known around you. Sometimes the point is homesickness, but make it fashion.

So yes, the cape stays.

It’s elegant, magical, impractical in exactly the right way, and dramatically elven. More importantly, it feels like something Lily would reach for without thinking—part armor, part comfort, part reminder of who she is.

Lily’s canon camp outfit is a refit I commissioned from Arideyya, swapping skulls for Corellon crescent moon insignia in the pale blue and silver of Sehanine Moonbow. With abs like these, they should always be on full display. Her version just went public recently, and you can get it here

Thank you so much to @bhaal-battle-beer-bard and @judasiskariot for the fun prompt week. I’m not a VP at all, but aim excited to see what the fashionable Tavs share!

Bladesingers master a tradition of wizardry that incorporates swordplay and dance. In combat, a Bladesinger uses intricate, elegant maneuvers that fend off harm and allow the Bladesinger to channel magic into devastating attacks and a cunning defense. Many who have observed a Bladesinger at work remember the display as one of the more beautiful experiences in their life—a glorious dance accompanied by a singing blade.

Bladesinging is associated with the ancient elven societies that first mastered the art and coined the term. Even today, most Bladesingers still hail from old elven realms, such as Myth Drannor, or from non-elven societies that share land and history with elves, such as the Silver Marches. Wherever they hail from, Bladesingers take their talents all across the Realms to help common people and perform heroic deeds. Most communities greet the arrival of a Bladesinger as a good omen.

Level 3 Bladesong: As a Bonus Action, you invoke an elven magic called the Bladesong, provided you aren't wearing armor or using a Shield.

The Bladesong lasts for 1 minute and ends early if you have the Incapacitated condition, if you don armor or a Shield, or if you use two hands to make an attack with a weapon. You can dismiss the Bladesong at any time (no action required).

While the Bladesong is active, you gain the following benefits. You can invoke the Bladesong a number of times equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of once), and you regain all expended uses when you finish a Long Rest. You regain one expended use when you use Arcane Recovery.

Agility. You gain a bonus to your AC equal to your Intelligence modifier (minimum of +1), and your Speed increases by 10 feet. In addition, you have Advantage on Acrobatics checks.

Bladework. Whenever you attack with a weapon with which you have proficiency, you can use your Intelligence modifier for the attack and damage rolls instead of using Strength or Dexterity.

Focus. When you make a Constitution saving throw to maintain Concentration, you can add your Intelligence modifier to the total.

Level 3 Training In War and Song: You gain proficiency with all Melee Martial weapons that don't have the Two-Handed or Heavy property. You can use a Melee weapon with which you have proficiency as a Spellcasting Focus for your Wizard spells.

You also gain proficiency in one of the following skills of your choice: Acrobatics, Athletics, Performance, or Persuasion.

Level 6 Extra Attack: You can attack twice, instead of once, whenever you take the Attack action on your turn. Moreover, you can cast one of your Wizard cantrips that has a casting time of an action in place of one of those attacks.

Level 10 Songs of Defense: When you take damage while Bladesong is active, you can take a Reaction to expend one spell slot and reduce the damage taken by an amount equal to five times the spell slot's level.

Level 14 Song of Victory: After you cast a spell that has a casting time of an action, you can make one attack with a weapon as a Bonus Action.

My sweet blade singer wizard I've been playing in bg3. Her name is Nalaya. She might actually get a character sheet.
