They’re terrible on their own, in an otherwise regular(lol) campaign. Together, as a party, they form something magical

A bard who is a wrestling jobber that pretends to get his ass kicked by the rest of the party so they look to bad ass to fuck with.

One time in a group I wanted out of because of a problem player, he tried to steal a critical piece of gear from my character while I was sleeping. Before I could say anything he started with a “What, it’s what my character would do!” I told him “Well MY character would kill anyone caught stealing from him with his very large axe, so good luck!” Weirdly he didn’t think that was as funny.

I need a new pondering orb

You’d love Ring of the Grammarian

Hey, I came up with the peasant farmer idea myself, like 10 years ago.

My character was this: A 36 year old blond guy, he farms watermelons and sells them at the village square. He is married with two kids but has a very selfish and idiotic personality. Leaves his family behind to “make his own destiny”. Always says pseudo-inspirational shit. He is a rogue but extremely clumsy and often has trouble with how he carries himself, he is the opposite of smooth.

Shroombeard sounds like a treant from the deepest, dankest part of the forest.

Convince your GM to let you reflavor “Iron Belly” which gives you a 1d6 bludgeoning attack.

Shroombeard’s stash would make an Ancient Golden Dragon worried about missing their fortitude save.

The peasant farmer, hat & druid are my favs

hell yes i gotta look up more mythical japanese tanuki abilities and make sure i can get them

i can’t remember in which system i read the class that does a lot of drugs to gain powers.

also the peasant farmer would make a great warlock

How the fuck did we not get Tanuki in WotR instead of Kitsune? This is bonkers amazing, and better be included if Owlcat does another one.

My first character was a half elf, arcane trickster, rogue that was deathly afraid of spiders. My dm was fun enough to work it into the campaign and had us go up against a giant spider hoard

Make D&D great again

I’ve done the peasant farmer, who left his farm and took off to be a cleric. He never had the knack for farming like his brother, and when a passing cleric told him about the wonders of his deity, old Jeb was enthralled. The cleric was nice enough to even sell Jeb, promised to be the genuine article, his very own holy symbol for all Jeb’s coins and a pair of chickens. His brother said he was a gullible fool, but Jeb was sure he had seen his true path. Gave up the farm and hit the road looking for enlightenment. It was actually a fun character, too bad the campaign slowly died off because people couldn’t make it to the sessions.

Throwing a “fight” to a party member is the most badass version of bardic inspiration I can think of

Giant snails in 5e can be defeated by a Commoner throwing rocks. They have a speed of 10 feet and an AC of 15 while in their shell. The same trick even works on both versions of a Flail Snail, though it takes longer.

So I don’t know DND rules, nor the strengths of the classes.

But you could follow several European Monk blueprints:

• definitely a beer brewer
• Hildegard von Bingen Route: be a herbal healer and a bard
• Mendelssohn Route: have a knack for breeding peas, combine it with the fairytale of the giant beanstalk and you could have a handy getaway or bridging monk
