That's why I'm gonna make our campaign into a comic. Someday we may have upwards of seven fans!
being a fan of a friend's ocs is actually so humiliating....... like yes my favourite character rn is tragically doomed and a pillar of humanity who i think is relevant to the current world. you can find information about them on discord dot com and sometimes in late-night conversations with this guy i know. what the fuck

"A suggestive cravat."
"A cravat is not an item I would think could be described as suggestive."

💎 𝗡𝗲𝘄 𝗶𝘁𝗲𝗺! Cloak of Hellish Legacies
Wondrous item, very rare (requires attunement by a tiefling) ___
This dark leather cloak is inscribed with Infernal script along its hems. Its hood has a pair of holes for your horns to fit through. While wearing the cloak, the range of your darkvision increases by 30 feet, and you can see normally in magical darkness (as if it were nonmagical) out to a range of 30 feet. If the cloak’s hood is up, your face becomes hidden in pitch-dark shadow. Pulling the hood up or down requires an action.
The cloak’s hue changes to match an associated layer of hell. The color is subtle, and is best seen faintly reflected in its shadows, as if staring into an oil-slicked pool. The first time you attune to the cloak, and then again daily at dawn, you can choose which layer of hell for the cloak to associate with. Use the table below to determine the color and damage type associated with the chosen layer.
|    Layer    | Color  | Damage type | — | Coruscating | Orange |  Lightning  | |  Corrosive  | Green  |    Acid     | |   Frozen    |  Blue  |    Cold     | |   Rotting   |  Grey  |  Necrotic   | |   Sickly    | Purple |   Poison    |
While wearing the cloak, you gain resistance to the damage type associated with its current layer. Furthermore, if you cast a damage-dealing spell using your hellish Legacy racial trait, you can choose to change its damage type to the one associated with the cloak’s current layer.
The cloak has 3 charges and regains all expended charges daily at dawn. You can use a bonus action to expend 1 of its charges to change the cloak’s associated layer. Alternatively, you can expend 1 or more of its charges when you cast a spell using your hellish Legacy racial trait; the spell’s level increases by 1 for each expended charge.
Whenever you change the cloak’s color, you can also choose to change the color of your skin to match the chosen layer. This change lasts until you change the cloak’s color again, until you’re no longer wearing the cloak, or until you end it early (no action required), at which point you return to your normal color. ___

Let me tell you about one of my high school friends’ old Dungeons and Dragons PCs.
Olaf Olafson was your pretty straightforward Northman Barbarian type. Huge, strong, pale, red-haired and with a tremendous beard. What made Olaf special was the little things.
Despite living in a world with clerical magic, demons, and other powerful alignment-based Outsiders, Olaf was an atheist. This was because his people believed the last world had already ended and the gods went with it (basically post-Ragnarok). All that was left were ‘spirits’. Powerful spirits. Who could grant deific magic. But they weren’t gods, and you didn’t have to worship them- in fact you shouldn’t, because it would just inflate their already swollen egos.
Despite being an enormous, frightening, powerful man with dubious hygeine and a propensity for going literally berserk in combat, Olaf was a gentle fellow in towns and villages, had a deep fondness for small fluffy animals and children, and was a generous tipper.
Olaf liked to drink. Not mead, but wine. He liked to sip it. It made him feel ‘civilized’. He never drank it quickly enough to get drunk. His meals almost invariably consisted of “Wine. Meat. Cheese.” Which was what he would order in literally every tavern. They’d ask him to clarify, what sort of wine? What sort of meat? What sort of- Olaf would raise a hand and repeat, slowly, as if to a fool: “Wine. Meat. Cheese.” 
Olaf spoke broken common, more or less Hulk-speak, referred to himself in the third person almost exclusively, all that fun stuff. Then we had a story arc where I sent them up to Olaf’s homeland, where everyone spoke ‘Northman’ or whatever the hell I called it. While up there, he was incredibly fluent. Even poetic. “My brothers! I have returned from the decadent lands of the south, bearing riches and glory, and tales of great deeds!” The other players caught on and talked like a pack of movie Frankensteins, barely able to communicate in the foreign tongue.
For a long time, Olaf was the most financially stable member of the party. Because he bought a tavern in their home-base-town, hired the senior barmaid/waitress lady to be the manager, and funneled the profits back into the business. He kept his adventuring money and his tavern money separate, except when he would sometimes spend adventuring money to expand the tavern. 
 There’s not a lot to do in 3rd edition with skill ranks when you’re a barbarian, so eventually Olaf sank a point into Healing on a lark. A few sessions later, they captured an important enemy NPC, but he’d lost an arm in the fighting and was about to die. Their cleric had been captured and their NPC paladin wasn’t around, either. There was no magical healing available, and no one else had any ranks in healing. The dude was about to die, and take with him the knowledge of where their friends had been taken. Olaf- with a  single rank in Healing I remind you -offered to save his life in exchange for the location, and the guy agreed. Olaf then stuck a sword in the fire, said “Olaf see this once,” and cauterized the wound.
It worked, of course. I didn’t even make him roll. I was too busy trying not to piss myself laughing. “Olaf see this once.” Jesus Christ.
