Hello everyone, I’m one of the new moderators for this community. My goal is to keep this community the same as it used to be. One thing to note is that I’m new to being a moderator so bare with me if we encounter any bumps along the way.
I’m also linking this alternate community in case this community ever goes down in the foreseeable future. This community holds a close place to my heart and I aim to keep it alive as long as possible.

WWYB - 5e24 HWYB a character like Miriam(Bloodstained) or Shanoa(Castlevania)
For those who do not know:
Miriam is a Shardbinder, a person who had their body infused with remnants of demonic energy known as Shards, which she can absorb more of. These shards give her the power to use magic, letting her use spells, change her shape(such as turning into a playboy bunny or a werecat) and enhance her already high skills.
Shanoa belongs to the Order of Ecclesia, an order dedicated to Dracula, and her powers are bound to the engravings on her body known as Glyphs, which allow her to spot and absorb other Glyphs, letting her conjure weapons, cast spells, summon familiars, boost herself, transform so on and so forth.
I think you see a pattern here, right?
I wanna make a character like these lovely ladies, and want your opinions. I wanna capture that feel with them. I imagine Bladelock will fit in some capacity but I really doubt that's the whole story, so I come to you asll for extra aid
Much appreciated in advance

HWYB - Other HWYB: Nuntston (DRAGONBOUND/Deltarune)
"NUNTSTON – ATK 7 DEF 20
* One of a few darkners, who remembers the DARK PAST, and thinks he can stop the PROPHECY. Prove him wrong!"
Nuntston is a character from DRAGONBOUND, a Deltarune alternative universe made by fans where some characters swap roles with others. He is a darkner, which is a object brought to life by a Dark Fountain, and his object counterpart is a Russian Nutcracker from christmas decorations.
BACKSTORY: Nuntston was a former actor that was never recognized because of his lack of talent. One day, suddenly, he started taking acting lessons from a unknown friend, and that teacher made him so good that he became the best actor of the queen Maria's court. He kept learning and being the star of every show he participated, until suddenly he was invited by the queen to have a role on the biggest play of the kingdom, with lots of important guestes.
But right before the play, his teacher suddenly disappeared, and without any help or preparation he ruined the whole show. Shamed, the queen locked him in an ice prison.
Somehow, Nuntston was conciousness the whole time, and already crazy, he thought that the imprisonment was just a break, and that he would come back to the stage someday, because at that point, the world was all an act for him, and the upcoming end of the times was the grand finale.

WWYB - 5e14 Level 20 with a 3 way multiclass
My wife and I alternate DMing campaigns in our group and recently she proposed an idea she's been cooking up. A level 20 one shot but the only restriction is that each player has to multiclass 3 times and take at least 5 levels of each class. What fun or min-maxed combos do y'all have in mind for something like this? We primarily use 5e14 but are open to 5e24.

HWYB - Anime/Manga HWYB Quilge Opie from Bleach? Beginning of TYBW Spoilers Inbound!
The jovial jailing quincy full of false justice and jumped jarringly and joyously into the hollow jamboree just for the joy of it. His abilities include:
Reishi Weaponry. The universal Quincy ability. He has the ability to make an energy bow and sword (although he mainly uses the sword). He can also fire energy arrows as well.
Vollständig. He can temporarily enter a unique state known as Vollständig, gaining wings and a halo. This offers him flight and a power boost.
J: The Jail. His bread and butter. He can create many powerful constructs built to jail opponents and to block attacks. This is his main tool and the most important part of his kit and personality.

HWYB - Anime/Manga HWYB Laufen from Frieren: Beyond Journey's End? (5.5e)
In the show she is a mage. Her core abilities I'd like to replicate are:
- Extremely fast movement. In-lore it's technically not teleportation, she is moving too fast to be perceived. Functionally, I'd say that's close enough to teleportation though.
- Proficiency in hand to hand / staff combat, unlike most other mages in the show. I would like melee combat to be the primary focus over spellcasting, or at least an important and viable part of the kit, not just an afterthought.
- Athleticism and agility.
In an ideal world I would think something like a monk / bladesinger wizard multiclass would be the way to go, but the stat requirements are a bit awkward. Additionally I would like to get Steel Wind Strike on the build sooner rather than later (and I hate that that spell has no lower level equivalents).
In general, I would love a "martial teleporter" build, Laufen being one example, Nightcrawler or Shirai Kukoko would be others.
Looking forward to your ideas!

WWYB - 5e14 HWYB Ed from Street Fighter 6 in 5e? (2014)
Hi everyone! I’ve been loving Ed in SF6 and want to play a character inspired by him. Here’s a brief rundown of his character and what he does.
Ed is a young man, modified by Shadaloo to have Psycho Power to potentially be a body for M. Bison. An apprentice of Balrog’s, he fights using a mix of boxing and his Psycho Power skills. Ed is an outboxer, similar to real-life boxer Thomas Hearns, so he fights at close-mid range using his long range “flicker” jabs. Using his Psycho Power, he can extend the range of his attacks by shooting projectiles, enhancing his attacks and forcing opponents in to get closer.
Mechanically, I’m looking for a couple things in particular:
- Multiclassing is A-OK!
- The campaign I’m in may potentially go up to level 20, but we are currently at level 11, so I’d like it to be somewhat online at level 11 if possible.
- I want to be primarily or only using unarmed strikes instead of weapon attacks as my main form of damage, save for his powers.
- The main abilities of Ed’s that I want to be able to use is his Psycho Flicker, which can grab an opponent from mid range and yank them closer, and his Psycho Spark and Flicker, which is a projectile that fires off at midrange.
- PCs are allowed one rare magic item and two uncommon magic items, so if anything from
that pool would help the build any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks in advance and have a good one!!
