I figured it was about time I got around to drawing up some Chibi versions of characters from Critical Hit. I’ll be starting with characters from the main campaign, but if enough people enjoy these, I’d love to go on and draw Chibi versions of character’s from Sam’s Weird Western story as well as Brian’s Modern City and Hays of Shadow tales. Maybe even more campaigns that they’ve run! We’ll have to wait and see how this goes.

This one’s a bit more tricky for me. My tastes in class are usually exotic as a direct result of my making the character and then finding what class gives me the best toolset to execute the character’s shtick, this results in my playing a lot of multiclass characters or even doing a custom hybrid in one case. The class I’ve had the most fun playing has been a multiclass fighter-bard but I’ll save that for favorite PC as the class was just a means to mechanically justify what I wanted the character to be able to do. Frankly, I’ve got a soft spot for artificers, in no small part to @iceberg256 and his character Randus; in fact, I’m going to completely blame you, thanks! Part tinkerer, part mage, all awesome. As a history buff and handyman I feel like the class was written for me. The idea of building your character (sometimes literally) around magic items and combining or repurposing them is vastly appealing to me. I love the deep well of flavor possibilities from an arcane class, most of which are fairly specific. Maybe your artificer is a historian who dipped into the museum stash for the greater good or maybe you’re a tomb raider just interested in harnessing the power of the ancients for yourself. I’ve definitely spent the most time creating artificers just for fun, one of these days I’ll get to actually play one in a story/setting in which it makes sense.

I could listen to Rob's Vampire "Blaa" forever. Simply too dang cute!❤ So excited for more episodes of the Hays of Shadow campaign.

It's so much more exciting getting a critical hit when you're actually rolling dice for it; some people perceive it more as luck than when it's done using a computer, which makes it complete randomness. (Unless it's roll20 in which case it just hates you). I think people are more excited because when you roll the dice yourself, it feels like you're earning the crit. "I rolled the nat20, because I'm awesome." And that's true, and totally a proven fact that if you listen to the Critical Hit podcast you're going to roll more crits. (Disclaimer: side effects may include excessive emotional reactions and giggling because of puns. Exposure to DnDBrian may result in crits of the non-desirable kind. Listen at your own risk.)
