So our character is going to be a Protector Aasimar and will be some kind of Priest (Cleric, Paladin, Druid), but where did they come from? What's their history? (redoing this poll cause i forgot to change the duration) Please Reblog if you vote! Don't forget to go find the Class Poll, which is still running! Link in reblogs.

Made a homebrew D&D background for when you’re more well known than  Hermit, but don’t fit the “hero” part of Folk Hero.

Background Feats inspired by "Spelljammer - Adventures in Space"

So since the newest adventure for 5e now includes feats with backgrounds, something WotC has previously started to introduce with the more recent UAs, I wanted to look at the PHB backgrounds and see which feats (also from the PHB) which make sense to attach them to which background! So here's my quick attempt at this where I limited myself to three options which seemed to me to make the most sense. Enjoy!

Also as a sidenote: if a feat were to involve an ability score increase, that would not be granted.

Andronicus brothers

Backstory scenes of my D&D character I drew last year. At a young age, Emir (sorcerer) ended up developing powers. His big brother helped him to control and cast spells even tho he wasn’t able to do magic himself. Early on, they ended up working as a duo for a lot of illegal businesses. The Andronicus brothers are well known in the criminal guilds for their effectiveness. Nothing can go wrong, right? I made other cool stuff about Emir, but I can’t post them since my friends don’t know them yet. No spoiler ahah!

Backgrounds for world weary travelers!

I’m working on homebrew stuff again and I’m really happy with how these two turned out! I’m in love with characters who travel to far away places or escaped some sort of dread power, only to have the ramifications linger

Everyone is running from something, you know? Some just more literal than others!

So if you want to have a character lost in time/place or escaping from a threat they can’t possibly take on their own, check out these backgrounds! I always love feedback

Hope you enjoy!

Did I need to create a whole pirate crew for my DnD characters backstory? No. Did I? Yes. Will they ever be meet in the story? No because they’re all dead. Will I still draw all nine of them? You bet!

I’ve never really done backgrounds before, but I’m working on a comic so I guess its kind of required. This is a first version of Alabasters Office, featuring Fathom - the Axolotl.
