My paladin OC recently hit some big character development that really helped him grow into his own convictions and it made me super happy. Immediately wanted to share with this blog.
So, my boy Yosha is an entertainer. He and his siblings are a group of traveling musicians, and he first learned to use a sword and shield to protect his siblings. He landed on the Oath of Glory, which fits the group well. He didn't initially swear his oath to any particular deity but he eventually landed on a god of joy and mischief (small, homebrew pantheon) who was kind of the only god he knew anything about at the time. But recently he's learned that this god is not just a god of joy, but also a god of hope. And he has grown so much into holding that high through every action. After all, sometimes things get dire, and the dark times get in the way of hope and joy - and someone's going to have to step up to clear the way for it. It feels a little odd to say this, seeing as he is a character I made up and play, but I feel proud of him.
Just wanted to share this. I hope you have a good day, Paladin.
Choosing Joy can be its own victory even for the most simple of circumstances. After all, it takes effort to produce, as much as you need fire and kindling to push back the dark. I too am proud of your paladin, and I thank you for sharing what you can of him. Please let us know more when you are up to it.
What is the most un paladin thing about you? Like, it’s not fair to hold you accountable for not being 1-1 to a fictional archetype, but I am curious as to what you would consider you about yourself that doesn’t fit that mold.
Hmm. In terms of tangible actions and behaviors, I’m not as organized or disciplined as I’d like to be. I have a devil of a time wrestling my own inclination to procrastinate into compliance. Much better than I used to be is not the same as solving the problem.
In my own head, I wish I could better endure the world’s woes, but I sometimes close my self off from it to better manage my own life. The trick is knowing when I’m actually doing this to protect myself and doing it for the sake of ease. The extra effort to swallow hard truths or even just listening for a moment is a critical component in deciding what the righteous path is, after all. Ignorance is comfort, wisdom requires burden.
…I suppose I also have fantasies that would be considered un paladin like but that’s the key word there, fantasy. Recognizing what brings pleasure in the private confines of the mind and body is not morally or ethically sustainable in reality shouldn’t be a hard lesson but I feel it is for some. After all, even if you have the power to make your fantasy a reality, should you? Power, after all, is ultimately less important than the discipline to restrain it. If that doesn’t exist, that path inevitably makes monsters of us all.
Character portrait for Kamari the Gerudo Paladin, a character from the party in the Zelda-themed D&D campaign I'm DMing! Both shaded and flat versions. I kinda suck at shading but I don't think it looks all too bad considering.
The character was not created by me; creator wished to remain anonymous but gave me permission to post my art for the character. Thanks!
Art of the other party members forthcoming.
more refrences >:)))

LANCER commission I've been working on for the past few months, very happy with how this one turned out
Now it is done. If I speak again, I am not Kabr.
I understand that you were aiming for a morally grey protagonist, but in practice what you've ended up with is more of a moral beige.
@ancient-tree-with-deathwish replied:
how do you distinguish grey from other colours beyond black and wite?
Distinguishing features of moral beige:
The protagonist is constantly agonising over Hard Choices; however, circumstances always conspire to prevent them from actually having to make those choices, so in practice they're just angsting over stuff they might have done.
The text exhibits a recurring pattern whereby the protagonist seems to to have made a Hard Choice, but new information is reliably revealed shortly thereafter which retroactively establishes that whatever they did was the morally upright course after all.
The protagonist's moral impulses are straightforwardly heroic, except in one specific context which lacks any clear real-world analogue; for example, being prejudiced against telepaths.
The protagonist's actions are consistently reasonable based on the information available to them – they're merely operating on bad information basically all the time due to a bizarre conspiracy and/or a series of increasingly implausible misunderstandings.
The protagonist always ends up doing the right thing (for some fuzzy value of "right"), but, like, they're really grumpy about it.
Cinder, my fiancé’s original character. They are a collection of souls of witches who were burned at the stake, bound within a suit of armour. They were accidentally awoken from years of dormancy by my character, Kestrel.

It occurred to me how funny and tragic it is that the ghosts that rise from the cemetery every night are people who failed to defeat Strahd, and yet Doru, watching this in his backyard every night as a kid, learned absolutely nothing and went and tried to do the same exact thing
Ring of the Righteous Path Ring, Rare (requires attunement)
When a lone paladin held the mountain pass against an endless tide of fiends for three days without rest, a fragment of that unyielding virtue seeped into the gold and glowing lapis lazuli of this ring. The labyrinth carved into its surface tightens around your finger the moment you slip it on, binding you to the cause of justice and demanding a soul aligned with law and good.
Who in your party would wear this, knowing it will reshape their will in exchange for being able to hurl a spear of pure celestial light?

sobbing and crying at the woman who stole a meth addicted kitten from her dealer and then she and the kitten got clean together
thats love baby!!
TUMBLR STORY TIME.
I volunteer for my local shelter and when the weather's good, we do a free vaccine clinic every Friday. Free distemper, free rabies, cats and dogs. We hand out free food from the pet pantry, we give people leashes and collars, we do whatever we can to keep people's animals at home and healthy. Every animal that can stay home and be fed and be vaccinated is an animal that we can keep out of the shelter.
We get all kinds of folks, sometimes we even get backyard breeders but we don't do any judgment, because we want people to come and get their dogs vaccinated, because one parvo case costs $7000+ and the whole year of Parvo vaccines for hundreds of dogs costs less. It's just harm reduction, everything we do is harm reduction.
So anyway, this one day this woman comes up to the vax clinic and she is high as fuckin' hell, just obliterated fucked up, smoking a joint in line, and she has this TINY pibble puppy with her, maaaaybe four weeks old. This thing is so fuckin tiny and wormy and lethargic, and she's like, "Hey I heard I can get her shots." and we're like, oh fuck this puppy is gonna die. Like straight up, we were all like, fuck that dog is gonna die. So we gave her wormer, we gave the first distemper shot, and I put together a whole care package: wormer to take home, puppy milk replacer, puppy wet food, a leash, a harness, some blankets, toys, we gave her instructions on how to get the puppy eating food, and we told her to come back in 3 weeks for the follow up vaccine. And we were all like, well fuck, that puppy's gonna die, goddamnit, that's so fucked up. But you know, we did our best, and we hoped we'd see her again.
And in three weeks, you guys, she showed up. And she was still high, but like, half-high this time. Smoking a cigartte in line but like, could focus, could ask and answer questions. And she'd taught that tiny puppy how to SIT and had her walking on a leash. We found out that it took her three buses to get to the clinic, and she told us all about how she got the puppy eating right, got her stool solid, she was taking her on walks... The puppy looked so good, you guys. I almost cried, it was so big. Really happy puppy. At the end of the visit, we were like, ok, see you in three more weeks for the next distemper.
So three weeks later, she shows up, and she's sober, and she told us, "You know, I was really fucked up the day I bought that puppy, I wasn't sure I was going to live, and I bought that puppy and she was too young, and I didn't know what I was doing but y'all were so nice to me, and you helped me so much, and I knew that I had to give this puppy the best life I could, so I moved back in with my grandma, and I'm getting clean, and I'm on methadone, and I'm going to rehab next week, and when I get back, I'll come back and visit you guys again."
So I just wanna say. Sometimes it's hard to find a reason to get clean for yourself. Sometimes you gotta do it for a little critter that depends on you.
From your perspective, what's the best way for an average person (no special advantages like money or connections) to embody the paladin ethos in real life? Is it taking a job with a non-profit? Volunteering (e.g. tutoring kids, soup kitchens, etc)? Just curious about your thoughts.
I feel like the paladin ethos can exist anywhere, it's just a matter of applying that ethos consistently. You swore an oath, you follow it. The where and when is irrelevant. Fortunately, you don't need a sword or a position to help virtue flourish and darkness recede. You do more good in the long run by just by being the right person in every place you can be. The stranger on the road, the quiet voice over the internet, the phone call to old or new friends. The little things are titanic in the scope what actually gets people through the day. Just work on being the person who can make that moment the right one for them. A paladin, ultimately, ideally, is an axiom of virtue regardless of where and who they happen to be. So, be a where a paladin is expected, or utterly unexpected, and the story changes for the better because the paladin is there regardless.
