*I like it. Maybe they accidentally killed The Monarch, Lord of Butterflies, and are trying to fill his shoes, learning divine magic along the way?*
*I'm reminded of one campaign (I only saw this one clip) where Brennan Lee Mulligan revealed that this completely insane old man without pants had accidentally knocked God out and had replaced him and was terrified of anyone finding out. I like to imagine a similar dynamic here, where the new Monarch is doing their best to pass as someone who was actually supposed to be here and not some guy with a specific skillset who made a grave mistake.*
*lol, yeah this situation looks fun. He’s even memorizing the cultures religious texts (book) in the image. PS, that clip is from the finale of the Freshman year of Dimension 20’s Adventuring Academy. I think I’ve got what I need. What about your character do you request help with?*
*I just told Arch what I have so far. What do you think?*
*It sounds great as always. The only part missing appears to be the gods name, so I can help with suggestions, unless you don’t need them.*
*I'll take whatever I can get, man! Thanks for this, by the way.*

*I’ve got a few. Gorgoa, from the Mongolian and Japanese word for gore, because meat god. Another is Gogiro, from the Korean and Chinese words for meat. I chose these languages because pigs originated in East Asia.*
*hey, baal? was wondering if you'd give me a crash course in strugel making, I think I wanna make a strugel character, and I wanna do it right*
*Of course.*
*First off, the very basics:*
*Strugels are short, fluffy, stoat-like beings that tend to be very rotund, much like furry halflings. They rarely live past 100. They come from a volcanic island called Honkachu, and they live in an oppressive caste system. They don't have very good relations with other races, having suffered much abuse in the past due to dodo-like innocence. Now they discriminate against other races, especially humans and elves. This isn't violent discrimination, just a sort of "Oh, those guys who think they're better than us." Basically, it's how quite a few real-world minorities view the straight/white/cis men/whatever the "normies" are compared to the group. With strugels, however, they openly leverage the stereotypes and discriminatory behavior of other races, trying to come off as these cute, cuddly little hospitality workers who couldn't hurt a fly.*
*Strugels are creative creatures with a focus on art and comfort. Their forays into high-powered technology are few, but significant. They work together in almost all things, relying on the group to make sure everything is working as intended. Wars are not an interest for them, and neither are feats of strength. In their eyes, raw power is actually not very impressive compared to skills and craftsmanship. They use steam-tech and have a lot of forge clerics.*

*I’ve got a few. Gorgoa, from the Mongolian and Japanese word for gore, because meat god. Another is Gogiro, from the Korean and Chinese words for meat. I chose these languages because pigs originated in East Asia.*
*I love that. Gorgiro, The Pig God. Domains: Life, Death, Grim, Foul, Pain, Ruin, Martyrdom, Spirits, Blood, Flesh... A broken figure of supreme power...*
*Idea for an antagonist - The King of Nothing (Haven’t thought of a name yet, maybe Kane), I imagine their appearance as entirely stark white, as if they were not given the privilege of color, drained from their very being leaving them with the look of unrefined marble. Their armor shares a similar shape, filling out despite his seemingly slender frame covered in white bandages, hiding most of his body and skin, working as bonds as well, sealing away his true power so that he may not escape. Muscles hidden with strength unknown, hair incredibly long and unkempt, like a mane that drags along the ground with each step. The armor is crack, plates and pieces missing leaving their helmet with a broken piece off, showing their face. They wear a blindfold because they have taken out their own eyes (blindsight), a result of their insanity due to being trapped in an endless pale white void after being forced to be the original sin of wrath for the Black Crown. They grew too powerful for the Crown to reasonably control, so they trapped them. Through their insanity, as well as their pre existing power, they have gained control of gravity (representing the weight of sin, or something) and empty space (representing the emptiness of sin or something). They wield a warhammer, their strength devastatingly destructive, boosted by their control of gravity leaving places where there is nothing with each swing. Their goal is to purge the world of sin and the Black Crown altogether, at any cost to themselves, though their goal has been corrupted with the endless years they have spent in that white void. (Pretty heavily inspired by Mithrix from Risk of Rain 2, though with a few little things different. Just a warning, I do plan this guy to be decently op, like a challenging fight for someone like Archer or Rag, though not a guaranteed victory. High Str, Dex, and Cha, lowest stat will be Wis or Con), I’ll try not to make it too much though. Thoughts?*

*I like it conceptually, but I hate it when I have to fight using OP characters. I just don't like playing Archer. I would suggest making them more like CR 25-30 or something instead of the same level of insane as Dome characters.*

*I see. What is the absoloute tallest they can reach? And would it be safe to say that they'd build furniture to sell?*
*4ft would be enormous for a strugel, but theoretically attainable. And yes, they would likely sell furniture.*

*I'm making a character that is a warforged artificer who is trying to clone himself. Looks like a myr. Name is 03.*
*That sounds like a fun character, conceptually at least.*
*It is, and he doesn't understand social cues. He takes everything at face value, and he doesn't feel pain. Instead, his internal diagnostics tell him how damaged he is and how much damage he can take before breaking.*
