It's really difficult to think of interesting rogue concepts. I wanted to think of something that would work well with Spelljammer but wasn't just an Arcane Trickster knock off so that they could fly the ship. A courier felt the most appropriate but isn't itself tied down to Spelljammer.

me, the Druid: yeah I’m sleeping in the same room as (love interest)

DM: hey Sorcerer, what’s your passive perception?

Sorcerer: uhh 11, why?

DM: “Overnight, you hear something coming from Druid’s room, almost like…”

I really miss my TAZ phase every now and then, and since Ive had a really stressful week I thought I’d treat myself to drawing some old comfort characters!

Dungeons and Dragons Shower Thoughts to Wizard your Coast:

•You can make a character who is a dragon, a knight, and a fair lady all in one with a Dragonborn Paladin

•Since Aasimar weren’t introduced at 5E’s launch, there wasn’t any walking proof of God for a good while, so commoners probably hated Tielfings because they are walking proof of the Devil and the lack of proof of God was upsetting

•Most D&D parties are wildly more diverse than the places they visit so most commoners should react with shock and curiosity at seeing such a group

•Intelligence as a dump stat makes sense given the level of poor education and ignorance in a Medieval setting

•Haggling at shops is probably bad conduct for adventurers considering the amount of personal wealth they accumulate in their travels far outweighs what a shopkeeper can earn a year

•Muderhobo PCs can be recycled easily as a villainous NPC in another campaign

•Potionmakers and alchemists probably make a fortune in regions with active adventurers due to the high demand for healing potions, so a corrupt guild of potion makers would make an interesting hostile faction due to their influence

•Halflings and Gnomes probably take advantage of the fact they get confused for one another by larger races to avoid taxes

Do centaurs (especially the Runners) wear horseshoes or do they have a different way of protecting their hooves?

Anon: I’m not sure if you’ve touched on this before, but what are your thoughts on shoes for centaurs? Would they have classic horseshoes or would they wear booties that they can put on as needed? I adore all your posts, they give me so much inspiration!!

Ok I definitely have a few thoughts about shoeing centaurs!

In general I think centaurs definitely use horseshoes as we know them, but it's not nearly as common as how we shoe our own horses. Nailed on metal shoes are a pretty long term solution that require specialized maintenance, but they can't really be beat for protection and durability. So they're kinda like steel toed boots, mostly used by those with physically demanding jobs in rough terrain and punks. For shoe-inclined cultures like the merchants, sandals with hardened leather or wooden full foot soles are the preferred hoof-gear for the average taur as they can be easily customized and used to protect tender frogs or support healing cracks with medical shoes available to correct issues in addition to just looking so fashionable and most importantly- relatively easy to take off at the end of the day. Slippers are comfortable lightwear, leather sleeves that are maybe hardened on the bottom but only really good for tooling around town on cobbled streets, soft earth, or in a house or business. Mule shoes are called so because they make the hoof tall and narrow like a donkey's hoof and are pure fashion. Basically centaur clog heels, they require a precise custom fit to wear properly and usually greatly restrict mobility and so are a mark of high-society. Though the most extreme versions are worn at festivals by specially trained dancers, sometimes with sparking metal embedded in the bottom for extra flash. These are usually attached to nails in the hoof like metal shoes to try and keep broken legs to a minimum.

Riders in particular don't tend to wear any shoes at all, preferring to go barefoot to avoid the fuss and maintenance of any sort of footgear with their active lifestyles. Their culture in particular does not have much in the way of metallurgy and certainly not anything in the realm of infrastructure necessary to maintain regular shoeing. Pretty much the only shoes they wear are war shoes, with spikes on the bottom to really make infantry rethink getting close on the battlefield. But those are pretty rare, it's just not worth the expense and difficulty of ensuring you have a well-trained farrier on top of expensive iron in their culture. But of course there's always a few bigwigs willing to take the expense, particularly in the bigger herd-families who range further south near the Merchant city-states and have a passionate scion who can be encouraged to learn the practice and supported in their work!

The merchant culture on the other hand has the built in metal-heavy culture and infrastructure built in given their close relationship with dwarves so shoeing is a pretty common and easy practice.

For the most part though I think most centaurs would just maintain their own feet as part of regular grooming and walk barefoot on toughened feet. It's just easier when you've got 4 feet and losing a single shoe can easily cause pretty significant strain or injury depending on the circumstances!
