  • (Name still pending) I’m playing a lightfoot Halfling Battlesmith Artificer. My original thought would be to act as the ship’s engineer and keep people’s gear upgraded. I don’t know if she’ll be on the front line, soaking up chaos like a sponge but I do plan for her to help out however needed.

    She does have a steel defender. I still don’t know what that will look like. Either some sort of aerial drone shaped like a jellyfish (I’m picturing the tendrils beign able to move independently and would help with attack or defense or just repairing items) or a large bulldog that she can ride around on.

    Background: there’s no mystery or trauma. My character left home because she wanted to go out and see the universe. She comes from a pretty big family (so she’s always going to be running into a cousin in some random place)

    But yeah, she’s living life, eating snacks, and doing what she likes the most.



  • In all things when dealing with people, be good at reading the room. Its not other peoples job to figure out if you’re telling one. Its up to you to make sure they know its a joke. Just saying “the following is a joke and should not be taken seriously” isn’t really enough, its too easy to hide behind that. The onus is on you to make sure people know its dark humor, and thats not an easy task. If you find yourself saying “dude, calm down, I was kidding” you failed.

    I make all kinds of horrible sexist and “I hate my wife” jokes to my wife but there is no question about how i actually feel. And I dont joke like that with other people around if they aren’t really good friends.
